[Jun Jiu Ling]

[Episode 3]

Miss, that seems to be

the eldest son of the Fang family, Fang Chengyu.

You're the so-called cousin,

Jun Zhenzhen. Right?

Actually, you should call me older cousin.

Has nobody told you

that only I'm allowed in this place

and others aren't allowed?

Miss Yuxiu seems to have said that before.

I forgot.

Today's scenery is so nice

that I took a longer walk than expected.

I hope my cousin doesn't mind it.

We'd better not meet again.

You said you come from a family of scholars.

Then you should know what

"out of sight, out of mind" means.

Santao, let's go.

This young master of the Fang family

is fifteen years old but has never gone outside.

I heard that he's diagnosed with a strange illness.

It looks like he won't live long.

Liu'er, go find out

when he started to get sick

and who gave him medicine and took his pulse.

Okay. I'll ask around.

[Fang Residence]

Miss, I didn't know before I asked around.

It was shocking once I found out.

There's a curse on the Fang family's men.

You're a young girl. Don't spread rumors.

It's real.

The old master of the Fang family died a sudden death.

The master of the Fang family got robbed and killed.

The young master of the Fang family, who's the only son in their third generation,

is very frail.

When he was five years old, he got very sick.

The doctor said he wouldn't live past the age of sixteen.

Sixteen?

Doesn't that mean there's only less than one year left?

Exactly.

That's why I said it's a curse.

What's the point of having a big family?

It won't go past the third generation. No more descendants.

Watch your mouth!

You're a young girl. Don't talk nonsense.

This is where all my books went.

It looks like you have a bad memory.

You're not welcome here.

That's fine. I'm staying here for a half day.

Are you saying

you can finish reading them in half a day?

That sounds about right.

Miss Jun is really a genius.

Thank you for your compliment.

What books are you looking for?

I'm not looking for books.

I'm reading.

- Do you want to— - Stop talking.

Are you out of your mind?

You're the one out of your mind, Cousin.

That's right.

I am indeed sick.

A sick person like me can't criticize a healthy person like you.

A healthy person doesn't need to worry about wasting time.

I'm not wasting time.

I can try to treat your illness.

Santao, let's go.

He isn't sick, but poisoned.

Second Brother,

we've been waiting for a day.

We haven't seen Miss Jun come out at all.

Let's keep waiting. She'll come out eventually.

- Shopkeeper, can I have another pot of water? - Coming!

Young Masters, just a moment.

[Dosages of herbs and formula for medicinal decoction]

[Method of treatment]

It should be doable to treat my cousin's illness with these two treatments.

Detox in a bath.

Miss, Old Madam invited you to go to her house.

I'll be there at once.

- You met Chengyu today, didn't you? - Yes.

Don't meet him ever again.

Don't go wherever he goes.

Grandmother, I'd like to try to treat Chengyu's illness.

No need.

You're not capable of treating it.

Giving him hope and letting him down,

it would be too cruel to the patient.

Chengyu isn't sick,

he has been poisoned.

Did you know he was poisoned?

Why do you think he was poisoned, not sick?

I took his pulse today and found that he has many toxins that have been in his body for years.

Have you all been feeding him poison?

I don't get it.

May I ask why you've been doing this to him?

When Chengyu was five years old, he got really sick.

Since then, he's been taking this poison every day.

This poison can keep his illness under control.

If he doesn't take it,

he wouldn't be alive.

The famous doctor who prescribed him this died of an illness a long time ago.

Other people couldn't do anything about it.

In order for Chengyu to live on,

we're left with no choice.

This prescription looks good at first sight,

but it becomes a poison when combined with his illness.

If he doesn't take it, his illness won't get better.

But even if he does, he's only stable for now.

He'll die once he stops taking it.

He'll slowly wait to die if he takes it.

We're left with no choice.

No.

Auntie,

it's not your fault.

Someone misled you on purpose.

Chengyu ended up like this because he's been severely poisoned by taking this medicine.

Back then, he didn't have

an incurable illness.

Over the years, someone misled you with the poison

and actually destroyed my cousin's body.

What kind of person

is this evil and wants to harm our Fang family?

The culprit must be hiding.

If my guess is right,

this person should be in the Fang family.

Most importantly, we must treat my cousin's illness now.

Just let me try.

Mother, why don't we let Zhenzhen give it a try?

Grandmother, can I see the prescription that was prescribed to him?

I will soon be liberated.

It will be over soon.

[Third year of Taiyan]

- Zhenzhen. - Why would Grandmother have a stamp with patterns like that?

Zhenzhen?

As I expected, something is wrong.

Auntie, we should keep using this until I find new medicine.

This way, the plotters won't get suspicious.

Grandmother, I will leave now.

Hold on.

Zhenzhen, you need to keep this a secret.

Only the three of us will know about it.

I understand. Please rest assured.

The Fang family, the stamp, and the seal.

How are these all connected? Is the Fang family also involved in the secrets of Zezhou?

Who is plotting to harm the Fang family?

Miss, what are you thinking about?

You've been lost in thoughts since we came out of Old Madam's room.

I was thinking about how to cure Chengyu.

Are you really going to cure him?

Regardless, my priority should be to cure Chengyu.

I will repay Zhenzhen's kindness and save the Fang family, too.

This is how I can earn Grandmother's full trust.

It will then be easy for me to figure out the Fang family's connection to the stamp.

Miss.

Steward Gao.

Steward Gao, please wait.

Miss, do you need anything?

- De Shengchang is in both the south and the north, right? - That's right.

It is to facilitate our commerce activities.

Wherever we do business, we will have a bank branch, too.

Do you have branches in the capital, as well?

Of course. We have a number of branches there.

I see. By the way, is there anything interesting happening in the capital?

I don't think so.

But it will be very lively during the lantern festival.

There is a touring circus visiting the capital. There's always a crowd.

What about the palace?

I don't think there's anything new in the palace. It's just the ministers coming and going.

Businessmen like us don't care too much about that.

They don't interact with us either.

- Have you heard of anything in Prince Huai's Residence— - Miss.

- Old Madam is waiting to go through the books with the steward. - I see.

Miss, I'll report to my boss now.

Steward Gao, please.

Farewell.

What did she ask you?

It's natural that young people are curious. However, there are things that you can ask about and those you cannot.

Young people don't know their limits. If someone finds fault in this, it will be a disaster.

Steward Gao, if you have something to say, say it. Don't beat around the bush.

I don't think Miss Jun is only curious about the happenings in the capital.

She was asking about...

the imperial family.

Madam, as you know,

one cannot talk about the imperial family for fun.

He doesn't allow us to talk about the imperial family.

Moreover, she even asked about Prince Huai.

Second Brother, let's change our strategy.

For example, sneak into the Fang Residence at night

and have a chat.

No, no. Forget it. Sneaking into other people's homes is a bad idea.

Second Brother, look.

The first and second young ladies are both back.

I think Miss Jun won't come out today.

If she doesn't come out today, we will be here waiting tomorrow, too.

If she comes out, I have my plans.

Are there any news from Yunxiao Pavilion? What about the whereabouts of Jun Yingwen?

I haven't heard anything.

Before we hear anything else, Jun Zhenzhen is our only source of information.

Right.

Three qian. (T/N : Qian is a unit of measurement, about 5 grams)

Sister Shaoyao.

Miss, Old Madam wants to see you.

Sure. I'll be there shortly.

I suggest you go now. Old Madam is waiting for you.

Sister Shaoyao, what's so urgent?

Do we have to go right now?

Can it wait until Miss finishes with the ingredients?

Liu'er,

tidy things up here for me.

I'll go with you now.

Do you know why I called you here?

I know I was wrong.

Tell me what you did wrong.

I shouldn't have been curious about the happenings in the capital.

I shouldn't have asked about the imperial family.

You did it knowing that you shouldn't have.

How did you learn to knowingly violate the rules?

How dare you ask about the capital?

I visited the capital before with my father. That's why I was curious.

Why did you ask about the imperial family?

And about Prince Huai?

I'll be honest here. I am an old friend of Princess Jiuling.

I was thinking about her, so I asked Steward Gao about it.

Was that spontaneous?

- Or— - Grandmother, I hope you won't be mad at me.

Even if she is an old friend of yours, you should not mention her name anymore.

It's hard to know what people are thinking.

Going forward, don't talk about the imperial family.

I will remember that. I will remember what Grandmother has taught me.

You can leave now.

Grandmother, I have one more request.

There are not many medicinal ingredients left at home. I want to purchase some from the pharmacy.

Can I ask Sister Yuxiu to accompany me?

This way, we can tell people that it's just girls shopping together.

Thank you, Grandmother.

Miss, it's so lively out there.

Where are we going?

There is an old jewelry shop, called Cuiyao Pavilion.

They have the latest styles, the master is very skillful as well.

Most of the young ladies in Zezhou love visiting there.

- Let's go there. - Sounds good.

Purses and pendants!

Let's go.

Miss Fang, please come inside.

These are our latest hairpins.

- Please take a look. - We will.

Zhenzhen,

which one do you like?

This one looks good.

This one looks pretty mediocre.

Pick a different one.

It is good. It's simple and tasteful.

I'll have this.

I'm taking this one.

Isn't this the cousin of the Fang family?

The Jun Zhenzhen who rejected the marriage proposal of Young Master Ning?

That's what the rumor said. We don't know who rejected who.

- Shut up! - Liu'er.

It's fine. Let's go over there.

Miss, please come inside.

Sister, this looks nice.

- I want this. - All right.

What a coincidence. I like this too.

Miss Ning, what do you mean?

What do you mean? I'm here to buy jewelry.

You can choose first.

How can I do this? This is not my family's shop.

Moreover, everyone here is a customer.

We both have the right to choose first.

However, when we let you have it, you reject it.

When we choose it, you choose it too.

Since we are interested in the same hairpin,

let's bid for it.

This is a good idea. Good idea!

Dear Ladies, this is a good idea. This hairpin is five taels.

Ten taels.

- Twenty taels. - Thirty taels.

Forty taels.

- I... - Who do you think will win?

No need to ask. Of course, it's Yanyan.

I can't wait to see Jun Zhenzhen cry.

100 taels.

150 taels.

It's good that Miss Ning is happy.

Want to compete with me?

But this hairpin is only worth five taels.

- Sister, don't be angry. - I know, Zhenzhen.

Kind people are bullied by others. When facing such domineering and arrogant people,

not being outdone by them is the way to get along with each other.

Thinking about Ning Yunyan, she's really stupid.

She shot herself in her foot.

She paid thirty times the price of the hairpin. I don't even think that hairpin is that great.

Will she wear it or not?

By the way, Sister. For the past two days, I could see that Grandmother is still having chest discomfort.

We will be passing a medicine shop. I'm going to prepare some tonics for her.

All right.

[Long Chang Medicine Shop]

Miss, we have arrived at the medicine shop.

I will be back soon. Please wait for me here.

All right.

Miss, buying medicines?

Yes. Liu'er.

Here.

Two sets of what's written here.

Please wait for a moment.

[List and dosages of herbs]

Miss, about this...

I know. You may not have all the herbs listed here.

Let me have those that are available.

Thank you for being considerate. I won't lie.

Even if I have these herbs,

I can barely provide one set. Please wait.

It can be considered fruitful today.

Oh no.

What is she doing?

Miss, this is the last of our herbs.

Ning Yunyan, what are you trying to do?

What's the problem?

Jun Zhenzhen, you deserved it. This is your consequence for swindling us.

Seems like the 150 taels lesson is still not enough.

If I had known earlier, I would have increased the price.

For example, 5,000 taels.

5,000 taels? Wouldn't this be the same price as Young Master Ning?

Right?

- I... - 10,000 taels.

She's being violent and hitting people! Look at her!

She's going to slap her! Look!

Look.

15,000 taels.

Look at her!

Swindler! Let me tell you! She's a swindler!

She swindled 5,000 taels from our Ning family.

She's violent and wants to slap me now!

That's right.

Miss Ning, don't forget.

At that time, your Ning family willingly

redeemed the marriage certificate for 5,000 taels. It was a deal with me.

Nonsense. It's total nonsense.

What do you mean by willingly? It's obvious that you came to threaten us.

She repeatedly raised the price as well!

The top artist in the capital, Wu Xiaoxiao, is worth 3,000 taels.

Young Master Ning is outstanding. No matter what, he's worth 5,000 taels. Right?

- Zhenzhen... - A son from a rich family is on par with a woman from a brothel.

There's really something like this?

She's going to slap her again!

- Jun Zhenzhen, let me tell you. - Let's go, Yanyan.

This matter is not over yet!

Let's talk again another day. Let's go.

Second Brother, this young lady is rather interesting.

- She really said that? - Not only that,

Miss Ning was exasperated and furious.

Everyone came to watch and laugh.

Everyone was really satisfied.

I really couldn't tell that she was such an interesting person.

Young Master, what kind of person do you think I am?

Why are you here?

Santao, guard the door. Don't let anyone enter.

Yes.

Get back here.

Santao, are you my servant or hers?

Get back here.

Old Madam instructed me to obey her when she's here.

You!

You are still loathsome.

You, too.

Young Master, you asked for the unpleasantries yourself.

Then why are you willing to cure me?

You’re doing this in an attempt to continue the Fang family lineage, right?

Why would you think this way?

I know that I can't be cured.

This is probably the only reason for me

to stay in the Fang family.

A human's life is not long or short.

Although fireworks last for a short time, they are still dazzling.

Dead woods last for a long time but they are decayed.

- Mother! - I already told you.

If this trouble continues, it won't be good for your brother.

Just find someone to teach her a lesson.

Why did you attack her on your own?

Letting others talk badly will tarnish your brother's reputation.

- Mother, I... - It's my fault for spoiling you.

- Mother. - Enough.

Mother, I'm back.

- Older Brother? - Zhao'er.

Zhao'er, why did you suddenly come back from the capital?

You didn't even tell me. I could have sent someone to receive you.

I haven't been busy with homework lately. I'm back to celebrate the holidays with you for a few days and will leave thereafter.

- All right. - Older Brother.

Yanyan, what's wrong?

It's nothing much. Just some quarrels between girls.

Zhao'er, are you hungry?

I will go prepare some snacks for you in the kitchen.

I'm not hungry, Mother.

I will get you a cup of water then.

Older Brother...

It's fine, Yanyan. Tell me who bullied you again.

- Older Brother... - Yanyan!

I just want to tell him!

Older Brother, Jun Zhenzhen from the Fang family suddenly brought a marriage letter here to cancel your marriage agreement.

She even took 5,000 taels from us.

She even said that Wu Xiaoxiao, the top artist in the capital, is worth 3,000 taels.

Young Master Ning is so outstanding. No matter what, he's worth 5,000 taels.

Mother, what marriage agreement?

It's fine not to talk about it.

Yunzhao, there's no need to mention this again.

However, that Miss Jun is really rude.

Older Brother, she's really too much. You need to take revenge.

It was a moment of angry words from her mouth. Just ignore her.

If this trouble continues, this matter will go back and forth. Others will talk about it.

- Older Brother. - Be good.

Yanyan, be obedient.

I already told you not to look at me with that pitiful expression.

Your bones are too fragile.

Other than this prescription, I will prescribe some tonics for you too.

It's a two-pronged approach.

It's not necessary.

- If your body is not treated, how will you continue the Fang family lineage? - You!

Second Brother.

How is it?

The herbs that Miss Jun purchased are not complete, but the pairing of these herbs

is rarely seen in prescriptions. I can't tell you the specifics.

Deliver the herbs to Yunxiao Pavilion. You must investigate this.

All right.

Her herbs were ruined today.

She will definitely buy them again tomorrow.

I have already checked several small medicine shops in Zezhou,

This is the shop with the most complete stock of herbs.

Are you planning to block her again?

[Fu Xiang Medicine Shop]

We got them.

Hold it well.

You are such a swindler.

You even dared to harass Miss Jun in broad daylight?

- I... - Do you know your crime?

- I... I do. - If you do, kneel.

Second Brother, I...

- No need to kneel. - Thank you.

Do you know your mistake?

My mistake was...

I shouldn't have teased her.

Let me tell you. Fortunately, you met a suave and admirable man like me

who's righteous and highly skilled in martial arts. I can fight and am good-looking, too.

That's how I can subdue you.

- Do you understand? - I do.

How many are in your family?

- No one else. - What?

I'm a worthless person without any conscience.

- I'm inferior to pigs and dogs. - That's right.

I shouldn't learn from my second brother.

Your second brother must be very sad seeing you like this.

My second brother is not as good as me.

Kill me.

I don't want to live anymore.

- I want to die. - You don't need to be so depressed.

You can start a new life.

But I don't have another choice.

- Is that so? - Yes.

Do it.

Miss Jun,

please stay.

I wonder if I could chat with you.

You are unreasonable.

Our Young Lady is not close to you. What's there to chat?

Is it still regarding that matter?

Yes.

If I tell you the truth today, will you stop pestering me in the future?

I will definitely stop pestering you.

Fine.

- Buns. - Fresh celery. [Clear Virtues Teahouse]

The princess and I are old family friends. I will never do anything to harm her.

On the contrary, I will use my life to protect her.

Please tell me where she is. I will be responsible for the aftermath.

The princess definitely didn't die suddenly from an illness.

Do you know about the big fire that day?

I know, I know.

I know you used arson as a ploy. Did you rescue her?

If it was really like you said,

then the princess would have been fortunate.

What do you mean?

We did plan to rescue her.

But Heaven is stronger than the will of the people.

We were still too late.

I, Zhenzhen, am not filial. I shall be your daughter again in another life.

When we arrived,

I have no idea why the place where the princess was imprisoned caught fire.

The princess died.

That's impossible. That's impossible.

Absolutely impossible!

Jiuling is blessed.

How could she die in a fire?

Jun Zhenzhen,

I don't believe anything you've said today.

She's definitely still alive.

When you leave via the east gate of Zezhou, fifty miles towards the northwest,

there is a cliff.

My father's grave is at the bottom of the cliff.

Once my father failed in saving the princess,

he was chased the entire way

and accidentally fell off the cliff.

From now on,

you are no longer Chu Jiuling.

You will be Jun Zhenzhen.

If you don't believe me, go look for yourself.

Ling Jiu,

I'm sorry...

Jiuling,

when we were younger,

whenever you hit me, cursed me, pinched me, I didn't feel it.

Once we got older, every time I thought of you,

I was so happy.

Don't you think...

This is love?

I went to the north for eight years.

Eight years later, I received news about you.

Your engagement...

Second Brother.

Second Brother, are you crazy?

Are you okay?

What's wrong with you? What's wrong?

What do you think...

being burned feels like?

I never knew before...

But now I know.

Jiuling is beautiful, delicate, and fair.

I have never once bumped against her.

Princess Jiuling is already dead.

She's already dead. Dead!

What's the point of doing this now?

Is there a reason to torture yourself like this?

Second Brother.

No.

She's definitely not dead.

Baotang,

you have to believe me.

She's definitely not dead.

She's definitely waiting for me somewhere.

Jiuling,

no matter where,

I, Zhu Zan,

I will find you.
