[Love Like the Galaxy]

[Episode 9]

General Wan, please don't bother to see me out.

General Ling, are you sure you are not going to stay for dinner?

Young Lord usually doesn't eat outside.

All right then. That's great. That's great.

General Ling, you take care.

Uncle Wan!

Uncle Wan!

Uncle Wan, I have nowhere to go.

You and Sister Qiqi are the only ones I can rely on.

Who are you, Young Lady?

Do we know each other?

Uncle Wan, stop acting.

You look familiar, but...

Niao Niao.

Cheng Shaoshang. Shaoshang from the Cheng family.

Are you Niao Niao?

What happened to your face?

Don't tell me. It must be from your mother's beating.

Don't worry.

I will talk to your father.

It's not by my mother.

But why is Uncle Wan so happy to see me beaten?

No, no, no. It's because I didn't recognize you for a moment.

Hm, what? You can laugh if you want.

Why are you laughing?

I wasn't laughing.

If Young Lord said you did, then you did laugh.

Niao Niao, Qiqi is in the back.

Why don't you go see her first? I'm busy right now.

Sister Qiqi!

- General Ling, the door– - It's late.

My place might not have dinner ready.

I will have to bother you for a while longer.

- General Ling... No... - Are we a bother?

No, you are not.

Come in.

Damn Wang Ling!

She is too vicious.

She ruined your face.

I hope she gets frostbite in the face sooner or later.

Since you are here, stay for a few more days. [Old Madam Wan]

Wait until your mother is no longer angry with you.

Thank you, Old Madam.

Qiqi's elder sisters are all married.

She has been lounging around since returning to the capital. [Madam Wan]

It's about time you and your friends start reading and writing.

Write what?

I'm going to teach Sister Shaoshang to ride a horse.

Besides, her face is still injured.

Do you write with your face?

Qiqi, when are you going to settle down

and start to read and write?

Also, take all those stones off.

Who are you displaying them for, this late at night?

Don't you feel they are heavy?

Grandmother, you don't know.

This is how people dress in the capital now.

Then go find another miss who dresses like this.

Grandmother will copy them and give you another set.

If you can't find one,

then give your set to me.

Old Madam, my travel here was arduous.

My stomach seems empty and I feel quite hungry.

Is there something to eat?

Hurry and take Shaoshang to eat in your room.

And change out your outfit.

According to Shaoshang, she started the physical fight over a disagreement.

That is not the behavior of a proper lady. Even if she has been wronged,

there are other methods to resolve it.

She didn't need to go to extremes and be so rough.

Then tell me. How would you

fight back without causing disharmony?

I would've told the elders first.

Her mother was right there.

And she didn't stand up for her daughter.

Why must we fight back?

Just endure it and all will be fine.

People live for respect.

Without it, we are simply the living dead.

If General Cheng is also a person who protects himself but swallows insults,

do you think I would have allowed Songbai to be his sworn brother?

During chaotic times, a friend who does

not stand up to shield open blades and dark arrows for you,

what's the use of such a friend?

Mother, you are absolutely right.

Qiqi takes after Songbai. Shaoshang also takes after General Cheng.

They are both open-minded and don't care about small details.

Choosing friends is not just about giving your heart.

One has to know how to judge a person.

I'm getting old.

I should have spoken these words to a grandson.

Teaching him how to recognize people and their characters.

But now I'm yammering to you.

I am incapable.

I haven't been able to bear sons. General is getting old with age.

He still has no sons.

Don't think too much and worry too much.

It's hard to say if you will die later than me and my son.

When my two eyes are shut, I won't worry about anything.

Old Madam. Madam.

Master is drunk and resting in the study.

He won't return to the rear house to inquire about Old Madam's health.

I've heard.

Has that Eleventh Young Master Ling left?

General Ling hasn't left. He will be staying in a guestroom tonight.

He is also drunk.

General Ling didn't drink even a sip.

Here.

How about it? I got this Thousand Miles Drunk from Father.

Isn't it good?

Very strong.

Sister Qiqi.

I want to ask you about something.

Did your grandmother's ear get into an accident?

It's not a secret.

You don't know?

I don't know.

When my grandfather died, Father wasn't even ten years old.

Those uncles came to the house.

They said my grandmother wouldn't handle being a widow.

Later she would give my grandfather's assets to another man.

No matter how much my grandmother swore an oath,

those people just wouldn't stop.

Finally, my grandmother cut off her own left ear.

She threw it to the leading guy of that bunch.

She said she would never remarry.

Old Madam Wan is impressive.

My grandmother even said,

she was born poor but my grandfather

never looked down on her.

He always respected her and cherished her.

He even married her under the most complete rituals.

He said my grandmother was

the best woman in this world.

Because of what Grandfather said,

my grandmother would have been willing

to slice off her flesh piece by piece for him.

This is called, "If one treats me with utmost respect,

I will, for sure, repay them with the same respect."

Old Madam Wan is a true heroine.

In our future, do you think

we will also find a hero who will be by our side,

until death do us part?

My mother never taught me how to calm the troops.

That must be because my future husband will not have troops.

My mother also never taught me the lineages and histories of noble families,

that must be because my future husband will not come from a noble family.

What hero?

If I can marry into a stable family

and live a stable life, then that is the best.

How can you be so casual about it and settle like that for a mediocre family?

Of course, I would be happy to.

From the moment I was born, nothing was ever up to me.

A'Yao?

[Lou Ben]

You and A'Li are back. Why aren't you going to your room to rest?

Lou Yao, be stronger. Don't be worse than that Young Lady Cheng. She even dared to fight.

What are you doing outside of my room?

Older Brother, I came here especially to find you.

I... I want to break the marriage agreement with He Zhaojun.

Brother, our personalities don't match. It's hard for us to get along.

Besides, everyone in the capital knows about her and Prince Xiao.

I'm unhappy and think we should break off as soon as possible. I know that you won't agree.

- So I – - I agree.

You agree?

Our family has me. You don't need to sacrifice your marriage for an alliance.

You are right. When it's time to break off, it should be done.

No matter what you decide, I will always support your decision.

Thank you, Older Brother.

I agree to your suddenly calling off the engagement, and you look so happy.

Do you have someone else you like?

N-No.

If I do have someone in mind, the first person I will tell is you.

Go then.

Hold it well.

I have been hearing banging sounds all morning.

Turns out it was coming from here.

Steward, what happened to the bridge?

It's Young Miss and Fourth Miss Cheng. Greetings to you both.

This bridge keeps swaying and isn't sturdy when walked upon. So I wanted to find some people to come and fix it.

Who knew that this bridge was quite peculiar. No matter which piece of wood you move, it moves the others as well.

Looks like we have to tear it down and build a new bridge. I was just going to inform the general.

Uncle Wan has really spent a lot of money renovating this house.

Sister Qiqi, is this lake from running water?

The lake is channeled from the outskirts to the east. Building the water channel cost my father tens of thousands.

When Grandmother has her birthday celebration, I'll definitely make Wang Ling and the others take a look.

My manor is no less spectacular than Prince Ruyang's manor.

Hey... What are you doing? Hurry and go to the horse pasture with me.

Older Sister, you know that I really like construction.

I want to take a good look at this bridge before it gets torn down. Let's go.

It's a bridge that's about to be torn down.

I don't want to stare at it.

I'll go to the horse pasture first. Come quickly after you've looked at the bridge. I'll teach you to ride.

I'll be right there.

So that's how it's built. I just need to pull one out and the whole bridge will...

General Ling, I apologize for last night.

I got drunk. Sorry that I wasn't hospitable.

It's fine. It's just that His Majesty is going to visit the Western region soon.

Without finding the map of Shu, I'm really concerned.

Back then, it was General Wan who led the troops to conquer and restore Mid-Shu.

Has General Wan really never seen this map?

I have never seen it!

No, I have naturally never seen it.

General Ling, look at the Wan Manor. Does it lack that little bit of treasure?

Why would I keep a treasure map?

You don't need it yet.

Yes. I'm fortunate to have been bestowed a large residence by His Majesty.

The entire family is prosperous from top to down. We can't thank His Majesty's grace soon enough.

Why would I keep this... whatever the map?

General Ling, since you have already come, why don't you take a walk around?

Hey, General Ling! General Ling! Please wait! This bridge is dangerous.

The bridge will collapse if you take two steps on it. Why don't you take a look over there?

A dangerous bridge?

Turns out it's a dangerous bridge.

Then you should be careful.

Yes, yes! We need to be careful.

Why is that unlucky person still here?

He's really like a lingering ghost.

Older Sister Qiqi!

Sister Shaoshang.

My father just bought this horse.

It's gentle. Suitable for beginners. If you like it, I will send it to your house.

If you have only one horse, then you better not gift it to me.

My mother is all about fairness. If you have only one horse, she'd rather politely reject it;

or even if she accepts it, she would not gift it to me.

Good horse.

Good horse, right?

Young Miss, Old Madam has asked you to go over there.

Fine.

Shaoshang, you ride first.

I... I ride?

So annoying. My mother calls me multiple times a day to do things for her.

I'm going now. You ride first.

Let's go.

Don't move.

This is more like it.

Wait...

Don't move.

I'll teach you.

It's all right now.

Next time, don't put yourself in danger.

A good horse will understand people.

If you fear it, he will take advantage of you.

But the firmer you are with it, the more it'll fear you.

This is the way of training a horse.

In this world, most other things are basically this way.

Why is it you, General?

If it weren't for me, you would have been injured severely just now.

You're quite bold.

You don't understand riding,

yet you dare to ride alone.

I'm not brave at all.

Just now, it's because men and women shouldn't be close.

General, you were too close to me, so I was afraid.

I'm not afraid of the horse.

Just now, clearly it was you who grabbed my arms so tightly.

You were the one who was too close to me.

Besides, if I were really too close to you,

it's because I've admired you for a long time,

but you are not interested in me at all.

You've admired me...

General Ling, I was talking nonsense previously.

Don't take it to heart.

Besides, didn't General come to my manor and tell Father

that I'm like an inquisition officer in the Ministry of Justice?

Isn't that right?

Miss Cheng was eavesdropping from under the bridge.

Even if you went to the Ministry of Justice, you wouldn't be the inquisition officer, but rather, the criminal.

What's this eavesdropping?

General Ling, even if I had offended you, you shouldn't talk nonsense.

Yes, I was under the bridge.

But I really couldn't hear anything from under the bridge.

Is that right?

Yes.

Ling Buyi, I really couldn't hear anything.

I really couldn't hear anything from under the bridge!

Look at that Miss Cheng. Her face got black and blue from the beating.

I want to laugh every time I see her.

Don't let Old Madam hear it.

Or she will punish you for disrespecting the guest.

I actually think you can hear everything clearly from here.

Whenever I'm nervous, I can't hear anything.

You really didn't hear?

General Wan is secretly hiding the map of Shu. I came to search for it for His Majesty.

General, you said it yourself. I don't want to hear it.

Your granduncle was involved in the case of embezzled armaments.

That batch of weapons was probably already shipped to Mid-Shu.

After His Majesty learned about it, he wants to visit the Western lands.

So the map of Shu is indispensable.

But General Wan has secretly hidden this map.

Miss Cheng, you can reason it out.

Your father and General Wan are long-time friends.

Your Cheng family is also involved in the weapons case.

If His Majesty hears this, how will he deal with the Wan family

and the Cheng family?

How does General Ling know that the map of Shu is definitely in Uncle Wan's hands?

If I didn't know,

I wouldn't have stayed overnight in the Wan Manor.

Uncle Wan just likes good wine and riches.

He definitely wouldn't be disloyal to His Majesty.

- He probably just thinks... - He probably just thinks

that it's only a treasure map.

That's my guess, too.

General Ling is so capable. Don't you already know where this treasure map is hidden?

I've searched all the corners in Wan Manor,

with the exception of Old Madam Wan's quarters that I can't disturb.

Therefore, I can only ask Miss Cheng for help.

Why don't you search for it yourself?

If I said, I don't randomly search for it

because I want to save the lives of the entire Wan clan,

would you believe it?

If Miss Cheng finds the map for me,

I will keep quiet about what Miss Cheng is about to do.

What am I going to do?

The dangerous bridge.

Turns out it's a dangerous bridge.

So I will be waiting for the good news from Miss Cheng.

Miss Cheng helps me once today,

I will also fulfill your wish in the future.

Old Madam, walk slowly.

QIqi, how old are you now?

Why are you playing hide and seek with Grandmother?

I'm tired and want to rest.

- You all can leave. - Yes.

Qiqi, Grandmother forgot to take off her jewelry and hairpins.

It really bothers me. Come and take them off me.

Put them inside the case next to the bookshelves.

Did you hear what I'm saying to you?

I'm waiting for you.

Remember, put it in the rosewood box with the carving on it.

Make sure not to touch the black walnut casket.

That's a treasure that your father put here.

If you make a mistake,

it will be a worse crime than stealing his Thousand Miles Drunk.

Have you heard clearly?

I'm asking you.

After you've put things away, you can leave. I need to rest.

General Ling.

It's done.

Good.

Here, General Ling, drink another one.

General Wan.

I've bothered your manor for two days. I will bid farewell now.

Hey, General Ling. We haven't drunk.

In a few days, when the Wan family has a celebration, I will come to visit again.

- General Ling. - Farewell.

Don't... General Ling!

You...

They all say Ling Buyi is difficult to deal with.

It's not that much.

Mother! Mother!

Mother, guess what? I easily got rid of that disaster star.

- Has he left? - He's left.

- He's really left? - Really.

Did he say anything before he left?

He said when the Wan family has a celebration in a few days, he will come for another drink.

Thank you, General Ling, for sparing the Wan family.

Mother, what are you saying. Why thank that rascal?

Mother?

Come, come. Come here.

Come closer.

Mother.

Come closer more.

Mother, you can speak.

Sister Shaoshang?

Aunt Cheng is still angry. Why are you leaving now?

I really miss my father. My father...

Mother, don't beat me anymore!

Why are you so ruthless?

Mother?

Father?

Father, I know I did wrong.

Even if Mother beats me to death this time, I won't run away again.

Niao Niao just got a shock at Prince Ruyang's manor a few days ago.

Now she's endured hardship at the Wan Manor.

Besides, she knows she's wrong. Don't punish her anymore.

Only she can shock other people.

Who can shock her?

Besides, how can the Wan Manor make her suffer hardship?

How is it not hardship?

It's only been a little while, and Niao Niao's face is thinner.

That's because the swelling on her face has gone down.

You say you know you're wrong. How were you wrong?

I used to think the outside world was big and everything was good.

I always wanted to go out.

But now I've thought it clearly.

No matter how good it is outside, home is the best.

Father, from now on, I won't go anywhere and will only be filial to serve you.

Good.

What's good about that?

Say it. What happened at the Wan Manor?

Ling Buyi went to the Wan Manor.

Why did he go to the Wan Manor?

He said he was looking for some map of Shu.

Mother, I really didn't make trouble in the Wan Manor.

I only thought Ling Buyi was harmful, so I quickly came back.

That's true. Whenever I talk with that Ling Buyi,

I also feel a chill all over my body.

Your habit of eavesdropping is probably not going to change.

I accidentally heard it.

Blame Grand Uncle for stealing the weapons. Ling Buyi suspects those weapons were sold to Shu.

Shu may be disloyal, that's why he was looking for the map.

Should a little girl like you discuss these things?

It's one thing that you used to discuss family matters.

These are national affairs.

General.

We're just subjects.

We must not interfere in this affair.

You are right, Dear.

Niao Niao.

Have you mentioned this to anyone else?

No.

I've only said it to Father and Mother, and never told anyone else.

Niao Niao, you must keep it inside your belly.

You must not mention it to anyone else.

Your cover-up this time counts as redemption for your past mistakes, you may go now.

Where did she go?

This... But...

I haven't even started asking about her matter.

Dear, didn't you forgive Niao Niao already?

This time, consider it to be redeeming her guilt with merits.

I... When did I say that?

- It was just now. Have you already forgotten what you said? - I...

Dear,

is Mid-Shu going to revolt?

With this map, we can prepare in advance.

Mid-Shu won't be able to cause any trouble.

But, Young Lord, you already found out where this map was hidden in the Wan Manor.

You could have picked it up yourself. Why take so much effort?

And even owe Fourth Miss Cheng a favor.

Young Lord thought, if we found it,

General Wan would be guilty of hiding the map of Shu.

But if Old Madam Wan, through Fourth Miss Cheng's hands,

gifted the map to us, then it's a different matter.

So that's the reason.

His Majesty is kind and tolerant. He still thinks this matter is a misunderstanding.

He plans to visit the Western region first.

With His Majesty's move, those people in Mid-Shu

will probably be on alert.

If they restrain themselves now and don't take further action,

it'll be more difficult for us to catch them in the act.

You and I know that His Majesty's Western trip is to intimidate,

but those with a guilty conscience may not think so.

If they think that His Majesty's Western trip is to attack them,

what will they do?

A hurried dog will jump the wall. They will act first.

Young Lord, what do we do next?

Naturally, it's to close the door to beat the dog.

Let them get anxious first.

Thief!

Catch the thief!

Catch the thief!

Go search over there! Why are you just standing there?

Go over there!

Prince, we've searched everywhere.

That thief was too fast, so we couldn't catch him.

Good-for-nothing! You can't even catch a thief! What's the point of keeping you?

Prince, we've checked. Nothing important was lost in the manor.

Prince, it's bad! Prince!

Prince, it's bad! Ling... Ling...

Ling what? Straighten your tongue before you speak!

It's General Ling leading the Black-Armored Guards to surround us.
