[Love Like the Galaxy]

[Episode 4]

No, you can't go inside. You can't go in. Young Miss is practicing calligraphy.

Cheng Shaoshang! I've really underestimated you.

You're really scheming!

You pretended to help me just to keep me numb and stay in the master bedroom.

You were even willing to vilify your own mother.

How strange.

For Cheng family's descendants, Second Aunt

won't move away from the master bedroom

while my reason was to upset my mother. The two of us,

you go into the room, I climb the ladder.

Why do you only blame me?

I know that you've been harboring hatred all these years.

You've deliberately used tricks to sow discord in my family.

Eldest Brother has ordered your uncle to move to the new manor but to leave me here by myself.

This must have been instigated by you and your mother!

Second Uncle's legs and feet aren't good at walking.

My father just thought that the new manor was big.

The furniture can be placed more apart so that Second Uncle won't bump into them.

He is being kindhearted.

Don't quibble.

I pledged an oath not to move away until I've given birth to a descendant.

But now that you've moved your second uncle to the new manor, with me by myself,

who can I bear a child with? I...

Since ancient times, it's always been the hen that lays eggs, and the rooster crows in the morning.

For a woman to give birth,

what use is a man for?

Who are you saying is the chicken?

A man and...

I can't talk clearly with this young girl who has just reached marriageable age.

Don't you crow, either.

You and your mother just have a good fate

to have Eldest Brother's military merits to support you. What makes you so great?

If I had a good fate,

why was I left behind when I was a baby?

I haven't been shielded by my parents since childhood.

If I had a good fate,

why would I have been abandoned in the village by Second Aunt

and become unconscious from sickness and almost died.

Second Aunt thinks my mother has a good fate.

It's only because my father is healthy and strong,

while Second Uncle is disabled.

But all these years, Second Uncle

has been obedient to you. Why aren't you content?

Obedient to me?

That's because he is incapable and useless!

If he weren't so useless and couldn't handle being the head of the household,

why would I be here suffering the disgust from you and your mother?

He is lame, and only your Cheng family treats him as a treasure.

Second Madam actually disparaged Second Master in front of Young Miss.

Couldn't you tell?

She was goaded by Niao Niao and talked without thinking.

Madam, are you saying that Young Miss did it on purpose?

Take a few strong maidservants to the master bedroom.

Yes.

Cheng Cheng, you are a man.

When you see your wife getting humiliated,

you actually don't say a word.

Why don't I... Why don't I give you this dress,

and you wear it to show your older brother?

You failed at scholarly studies, couldn't become an official, and you're a cripple!

What else can you do?

What else can you do?

Why do I have such a poor fate?

I married such a cowardly loser!

Enough!

If you feel dissatisfied and angry, you can just return to the Ge family.

My older brother will give you extra money.

In your dreams!

When I married you, the Cheng family was poor and desperate.

Now that your older brother is rising and successful,

you actually want to abandon me?

In your dreams!

If you had told me to go back to the Ge family earlier on,

I would have respected your boldness.

What?

You've been a cowardly loser all your life.

Now that Eldest Brother has victoriously returned,

you have grown a spine and dare to talk back to me?

Let me tell you! Don't you even think about it!

You are a loser! You only know to rely on your brother...

Stop!

Put that down!

Sister-in-law.

Qing Cong, the general has found a jug of good wine and wants to drink it with his second brother.

You can accompany him to go there.

Yes.

Miss Qing Cong, you don't need to help me. I can walk by myself.

I don't dare to disobey Madam's order.

Second Master, please don't make it difficult for me.

All of you, get out! Get out!

Xiao Yuanyi?

How dare you hit me?

Today, I will not only hit you, but I will also have you agree to a divorce!

In your dreams!

Back then, the Cheng family was poor and relied solely upon the Ge family.

So what? Now, the Cheng family is strong and the Ge family is weak.

If I want to hit you, I'll hit you. If I want you to get a divorce, you will get a divorce!

What can you do to me?

How dare you!

My father showed grace to the Cheng family.

What grace?

He helped with the military provisions?

Which big family in the county didn't contribute?

We guarded the safety of the county so that the folks here

didn't become ruined in the battles and chaos. Countless lives were saved!

He just contributed some military provisions and that's considered grace?

Shut up!

You are a half-hearted and stupid woman!

Second Brother is kindhearted to have tolerated you until now.

You think it's all your achievement? Is he afraid of you?

We will move in three days.

You just behave and stay here,

and wait for the Ge family to pick you up.

What does that mean? What do you mean?

You will report to my family that I'm divorced?

Haven't you wanted to remarry, but failed?

I'm just extending some help to you.

I know you are treating me like this

to get revenge for your daughter.

But I've never harmed her. She just didn't do well for herself.

You're hating the wrong person!

I, Xiao Yuanyi, never hate anyone without reason.

And I'll never hate the wrong person!

You're blinded by jealousy, how can I allow you to be unrestrained?

Everything you've done,

I know all about it.

What you've done to Niao Niao over the past decade,

I know all about it.

What can you do about me?

I can just take Yang Yang with me to go back to my family.

You are dreaming.

Yang Yang is a Cheng family's child now, naturally a member of the Cheng family.

But you must leave!

I must let you know, years ago when you used Old Immortal as a pretext

to force me to abandon Niao Niao,

how bitter I felt in my heart.

It's a Young Master.

Mother, Old Immortal was right.

Mother, you must remember this. Old Immortal said

you must keep the baby from his pregnancy behind, in order for you to avoid this misfortune safely.

- You mustn't forget. - I won't forget.

How dare you pass the words of a charlatan to Mother.

What ulterior motives are you harboring?

Brother-in-law is about to go to war. It's only natural that you can't bear to part with your child.

- Yes. - Since Sister-in-law just gave birth and her body is weak,

how about letting Sister-in-law and Young Master stay behind together?

This way, Sister-in-law can take care of her child and Old Immortal's words can be fulfilled.

So that Mother can avoid her misfortune safely.

Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?

How dare you try to split up my wife and me I.

No one is staying behind. Our family will be together even if we die.

Th-Then what about me?

I'm not your family?

- You're fine with me losing my life? - Old Immortal.

Old Immortal said

I will have a fatal mishap this year.

I must keep the child from this birth behind in order to block evil spirits.

You unfilial son! You're leaving me to die!

I've brought you brothers up for nothing!

Old man, I can't live anymore!

Mother!

That is clearly a lie from a charlatan. It's groundless nonsense.

Old Immortal is very accurate.

He said that Sister-in-law will give birth to a boy on the first try.

- Didn't that come true already? - Yes, it came true.

He predicted accurately indeed.

Fine, I'll go kill him right now.

Let's see if he predicted his own mishap.

General.

General, we just received a military order. The lone city is in danger.

General needs to go to the rescue immediately.

What?

His Majesty just gave the order to gather the troops and set out in two hours.

Set off for the lone city and assist Marquis Huo.

You can leave, but you must leave this child behind.

Otherwise, you'll have to step over my dead body!

Mother.

Yuanyi.

What did you say just now, Mother?

Only by leaving a child behind,

can Mother avoid her misfortune?

Yes.

And it must be the child from this birth.

Yes, from this birth.

In that case,

let's leave our daughter behind.

Daughter?

It's a pair of twins.

Madam also gave birth to a Young Lady.

Who should we keep?

I'll leave my daughter behind for Mother.

This is my husband's and my filial piety for Mother.

I'll bring my son along.

- Yuanyi... - General.

The Huo family are in danger. We mustn't delay.

Let's leave immediately.

Without my orders,

you're not allowed to step out of this room.

Yes, Madam!

Where's Second Brother?

Master is with him. Rest assured, Madam.

Send more people to watch Madam Ge.

We're about to move house. Don't let her ruin our auspicious energy.

Do rest assured, Madam. I'm not looking down on Second Madam,

but even if you give her a knife now, she wouldn't bear to take her own life.

Misfortune in the family isn't something to be happy about.

Do not show your pleasure.

You're right, Madam.

If she had known her place,

I would have kept this old residence for her to retire in.

But it looks like

it's no longer necessary.

Young Lord, there isn't anything unusual at any of the blacksmith shops in the city,

except for this one. Ever since Warehouse Keeper Dong was arrested, it has been closed.

People thought it was because the location is remote and business was bad.

However, we noticed that servants are still sending food to the people in the shop every day.

But the people in the shop have never left the shop even once.

Search the place.

Yes.

Young Lord.

All the blacksmiths in the world respect Zhu Rong (the God of Fire).

They'll never allow its statue to become dirty.

Trying to escape?

You're indeed capable, to find this place.

But I won't divulge a word about what you want to know.

I have no son or daughter, no kin or wife.

What can you do? Kill my entire clan?

I know you have many means to make people talk.

Since I'm in your hands, my fate is worse than death.

So...

- He's ingesting poison! - I'll do it myself!

It's lethal poison. He can't be saved.

Hurry.

These weapons have arrived just in time to fill our urgent needs.

- Put them into the warehouse quickly. - Hurry!

A'Qi. A'Fei.

Capture all the workers who had ever worked in this blacksmith shop before,

and all the servants in the Xu residence!

I'm going to interrogate them one by one.

I'm going to see...

how many of his clan I can kill!

Young Lord, you remember this birthmark?

Even if it were to turn into ashes,

I won't forget it.

The person who switched the military weapons in the warehouse with inferior ones that year...

was him.

I actually let him die such an easy death.

Tear down this shop.

Investigate it even if you have to dig three feet deep!

Yes, sir!

Wait.

Keep it on the down-low. Don't let anyone know that Xu Jinzhong has died.

Investigate all his contacts and communication records in secret.

Don't ignore any clues.

- Yes. - Yes.

[Cheng Manor]

Grandfather Ge.

Father-in-law. [Grandfather Ge]

I'm so sorry.

Not at all. We owe you. [Aunt Ge]

I should be saying sorry on behalf of the Ge family.

Yang Yang greets Grandfather and Aunt. (T/N: Aunt is married to her mother's older brother)

Get up. Get up.

Yang Yang has grown taller and more beautiful.

Yang Yang has grown to be such a fair lady.

Thanks to my in-laws for taking good care of her.

Yang Yang, Aunt has brought a lot of gifts for you.

Yang Yang is weak. And Second Brother's legs are injured.

Grandfather is old, so let's not stand here.

Let's get inside, Grandfather.

Yes. Please, Grandfather.

Please come inside.

Bring her here now.

- Let's go. - Okay.

[Cheng Manor]

I feel sorry that she lost her mother at a young age.

I spoiled her too much.

I know she is lacking in many aspects.

But I still shamelessly

married her off to the Cheng family.

I'm sorry for all the trouble. All these years,

you've been bearing with it.

Today, I specifically came...

- Grandfather. - ...to apologize.

Please don't, Grandfather. Get up, please.

Father! Father! It's obviously the Cheng family that made me suffer!

Bastard!

Sister-in-law.

Ever since you were born,

your father spoiled you, loved you, and fulfilled your every wish.

Have you been filial to him for even just one day?

You messed around and created troubles all day long. Now, your father

is nearly 70 years old. He went through wind and storms

to get here, traveling day and night.

Yet you feel no guilt at all.

You...

You're utterly heartless!

Grandfather, that makes us embarrassed.

Back in the day when I fought on the battlefield, if it wasn't for your provisions and fodder, how can I...

General, please do not mention it.

Only women like my daughter mention the provisions and fodders all the time.

Back in the day, the world was in chaos.

The Ge family only had money,

but we had nobody to support us.

It was just a piece of meat for the hungry wolves.

General, thanks for your calling

that we managed to survive.

What is there to say thanks for?

Not at all, not at all. You're overflattering me.

I've lived in my hometown for over ten years

and remained ignorant. I originally thought

that as she grew with age, her temper would gradually improve.

But who would've thought that others are saying

not only did her temper not improve, but instead it got even worse.

It must've been tough for you.

I failed to educate my own daughter and even caused you trouble.

Father-in-law, please don't say that.

- I'm at fault, too. She was— - Son-in-law.

I watched you grow up.

How could I not know your character?

Our father-in-law and son-in-law relationship was supposed to be the best fate.

But in the end, it led to your downfall and killed your ambition.

Tell me! How can I still face everyone?

Today, write a divorce letter.

I will immediately take this vile creature back!

Didn't you say that the Ge family came?

Old Madam must've led the whole family to host a feast.

Why did you come back first?

Other people are showing affection with their own families.

Why would I go?

I used to think Older Cousin had bad luck

to have such a mother who doesn't think clearly.

Today, I finally understand

she has had a really good life.

Her aunt really pampers her.

Second Madam disliked Third Miss for not being a son.

Before she was even one year old, she was given to her aunt to raise.

How is this considered a good life?

Fortune and misfortune transform each other. (T/N : Bad things can still lead to good results.)

If Older Cousin were like me to have grown up in the house,

she would surely become like Second Aunt, to be disgusted by people and spirits.

Now, she has been growing up at her maternal grandfather's house.

The Ge family regards her as a pearl in the palm of their hand, unlike me.

Grandmother doesn't pamper me, and my mother doesn't love me.

And I was raised by a second aunt who harbored ulterior motives.

I'm the one with a bad life.

Who in the family doesn't like you?

How could you leave on your own?

You still haven't paid your respects to Grandfather Ge. Aren't you being too disrespectful?

Grandfather is not here to visit relatives, but for important matters.

What would I do on the side? Watch Second Uncle write the divorce papers?

Second Aunt has tormented me enough these past few years.

Do I have to listen to Grandfather Ge say sorry to me, someone from the grandchildren's generation?

But today's matter,

it was I who didn't fully consider the consequences.

I will change from now on. I definitely will change.

You still have to go with me to pay your respects to Grandfather Ge and Aunt Ge.

To avoid making them wait too long.

Aunt, can you take me home? I want to go home.

Silly Yang Yang, the Cheng family is your home.

Your family and parents are here.

You will only have a future with the Cheng family.

I don't want a future, I want Uncle and Aunt.

Older Sister?

Come in.

Okay.

Younger Sister.

Greeting Aunt.

This must be Niao Niao.

This girl must be very clever and obedient.

Come sit.

- My younger sister-in-law... - Older Sister, don't talk about it anymore.

Our two families are neighbors. Is there anything we don't know?

- You must've suffered a lot because of her. - But later she married into your family.

- You became the victim of her torment. - After Grandfather brings her back home this time,

it will be you who suffers again.

Come to think of it, it is I who should be sorry.

Yang Yang, don't be ashamed and bow your head

whenever you hear others talking about your mother.

What we are given from our parents

are not only our physical body, hair, and skin, but also our character.

If your parents' behavior is proper,

you should study well and follow.

If your parents have any shortcomings,

you should use them as an example.

Remember, your words and actions are your best accessories.

Now lift up your head.

They all say that boys are born to explore the world.

Then should girls rely on their parents forever?

You will not be able to rely on your parents forever.

Only when you have a firm and strong will, you won't fear the mountains falling and the sea drying up.

No matter what time or place,

you must be like a tall tree; independent and self-reliant.

From now on, you must learn

around half of Eldest Aunt's attributes,

then you won't fear lacking anything.

Why isn't anyone drinking the buttermilk?

Aunt, try our buttermilk. It's tasty.

Niao Niao is really mature.

Older Sister is still kindhearted just like before.

You brought up Yang Yang to be poised

and dignified in her manners, so unlike our Niao Niao

who was–

I wonder if there is still time.

It's never too late to teach your child.

Even if the children are 70 or 80 years old,

as long as the mother is still alive,

she has a duty to keep teaching them.

Our Yang Yang is a little naive,

but she is honest and obedient. I hope Younger Sister

will not dislike her.

I've always liked Older Sister.

Of course, I'll like Yang Yang who was taught by Older Sister.

Why would I dislike her?

Starting today, Yang Yang will be just like my own daughter.

I'll make sure she doesn't suffer at all.

Stop right there.

Does Mother have any orders?

Didn't we agree to go pay our respects to Grandfather?

Why are you still going back?

You don't really think Grandfather is going to bed, do you?

If I go now, I'm afraid I'll run into Second Aunt getting a scolding.

Are you going there because you want to eavesdrop?

If that's the case, I can go with you.

Let me ask you. Why did you rush to give Aunt Ge the buttermilk?

Yang Yang was still there.

Where does that place her when you're hogging the limelight?

I just agreed with what Aunt Ge said.

I like people with that kind of personality,

so I just did it.

Why would you think of me like that?

You just don't like me,

so you always think the worst of me.

To you, my cousin is honest and sincere,

while I'm never kind.

So you think that everything I do

is always calculated.

If you didn't usually go to the extremes, I wouldn't be thinking of you in such a way.

If you were usually gentle and diligent like your cousin,

others would naturally think of you in a positive light.

I'm too stupid to learn from Older Sister Yang Yang.

But I really envy her because she was taught by Aunt Ge.

No one ever taught me.

How can I compare to her? No need to get angry, Mother.

I have an idea. For the sake of your health,

you don't need to keep watch over me after today.

Visit my perfect cousin more often.

You won't be angry anymore after that.

That's fine. I can train even the toughest soldiers.

You're just a stubborn and unruly girl.

I have my methods to gradually deal with you...

in the days to come.

Cheng Shaoshang, instead of trying to please those

who already have biased opinions of you,

you might as well be a bit more cold-hearted.

You don't have any close relatives to rely on anyways,

nor do you have any close friends to help you through this. There are many more people who hate you

compared to those who love you.

There will be others aside from Madam Ge.

You might as well treat yourself better,

and expect less from others.

Only then will you live a more comfortable life.

[Luoyang]

My mother can't see you off any further because she is getting old in age.

I've lost the honor to have our elderly in-law see me off.

Son-in-law, you've loved learning since childhood. Family matters have held you back.

Since you've set your mind to continue your studies, I'm sure you'll be successful in your studies

when you head to Bailu Mountain.

I don't deserve your kindness. I'm truly sorry.

Don't be ashamed of your handicap or your age.

In the past, many wise men only got successful when they reached old age.

We can't compare to the wise men in their successes,

but we can at least compare to them in our drive.

When you accomplish something in your studies in the future and return to your hometown,

you must set up an academy for scholars.

Rich or poor, we'll teach them as long as they're willing to learn.

When that time comes, my painstaking efforts will not have gone to waste.

Thank you for your kind words. I won't let you down.

Okay.

Father.

Just focus on your studies.

I'll learn to take care of our family matters.

Your mother is returning to the Ge family

and your father is traveling far from home. From now on,

we can't look after you anymore.

Eldest Sister-in-law.

Yang Yang is soft-tempered. Although our maidservants have been with us for a long time,

I still can't set my mind at rest.

So I hope that Eldest Brother and Sister-in-law look after her just a bit.

That way I can be at ease when I'm studying at Bailu Academy.

Rest assured, Second Brother. I'll raise her

as if she were my own child.

I won't let Yang Yang suffer even a little bit.

Yang Yang, be sure to talk to your Eldest Aunt if you run into any trouble.

Remember that the Cheng family is your family.

Don't worry, Aunt. I will.

Child, be sure to listen

to your Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt.

All right. As the saying goes, even if you see a man off for a thousand miles, the time to part eventually arrives.

Please don't see us off any further. Goodbye.

Take care, Grandfather.

Eldest Brother. Eldest Sister-in-law. Thank you.

Brother, take care.

Take care.

[Luoyang]

Don't be too upset, Yang Yang. Your grandparents sent someone with a letter to Bailu Mountain last night.

Someone will look after your father when he arrives at the academy.

[Luoyang]
