=Episode 21=

It's so cozy here.

The people here are really friendly

and hospitable.

The simpler the person,

the more grateful he is.

I think

one is easy to get drunk

with the wine here.

My head

is dizzy

now.

Is it because of the wine?

When did you drink without getting drunk?

What do you mean?

When have I ever been drunk?

Who came to my room

in the middle of the night

drunk last time?

It wasn't me.

I don't know who it was.

It wasn't me anyway.

I didn't do it.

It doesn't matter even if it was you.

Take care.

While drinking, we should...

Let's play a game.

Play a game?

Yes.

Listen.

I played a game before

that was really fun.

It's called Truth Or Wine.

Would you like to try?

How?

Here's the rule.

Let's play

rock, paper, scissors.

Whoever loses

has to choose to drink

or tell a truth.

Do you dare?

Why not?

Okay.

Let me tell you.

Remember that

I won't let you win.

You have to admit defeat.

Then don't let me win.

Okay.

Come on.

Rock, paper,

scissors.

Miss.

What would you choose?

You don't give ground to me at all.

I choose the truth.

Just ask.

No matter what you ask me,

I will tell you

the truth.

Come on.

Do you have someone you like?

Yes.

Who?

That's the second question.

You have to win again to ask that.

Come on.

Once again.

Rock, paper,

scissors.

Say it.

Truth or wine?

Truth.

Okay.

Do you have someone you like?

Yes.

Who?

That's also the second question.

One more round.

Rock, paper,

scissors.

Alright.

Now you can tell me who she is.

Who is that?

♪The moon waxes and wanes again♪

♪Leaning against the railing under the light, full of longing♪

You.

♪The light and shadow are sinking♪

What?

Are you confessing to me now?

Right.

♪Tacit understanding of one glance♪

♪Fate in exchange for countless separations♪

♪I would like to watch the stars with you♪

♪Long road ahead and another journey♪

♪A lingering kiss under the tree♪

♪Comfort the travel fatigue♪

♪Fall in love for a moment♪

Why did you tell me so late?

This is the third question.

Can't I ask you one more question?

Admit defeat.

You are so mean.

The moon is beautiful tonight.

(Liu's Village)

- Good people. - Good people.

They are good people.

Right.

I don't want them to leave.

They have been busy all the time.

Just go back.

No need to see us off.

I will visit you often.

Thank you.

Take care.

Sir, Miss.

Come back to see me.

I will miss you.

Xiaobao.

I will definitely come to see you

when I have time.

Mrs. Zhang.

It was my first time repairing the kiln.

If it's broken,

I'll fix it for you next time.

Okay, thank you. Come back often.

- Alright, go back. - Go back.

Go back.

Okay.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye. Goodbye.

Right.

Come back to see us.

- Goodbye. - Goodbye. Goodbye.

Come back often.

Come back often.

Remember to come back.

Good people.

Remember to come back.

Don't forget us.

Don't forget to come back.

Take care.

Why did you follow me home?

Didn't you ask us here?

When did I ask you here?

You were watching us

secretly just now,

and we were watching you too.

The look in your eyes just now

clearly meant that you had something to say to me.

Do you believe

what a crazy old woman says?

You are not crazy.

It's just that no one believes

what you say.

If I'm right,

it's about those who went to sea.

How do you know?

Granny.

Yesterday those in the village said that

their husbands left the village

and went to Yunzhou.

And we found that something went wrong.

Because

from the establishment of the dynasty to the present,

we have no boats

leading to Yunzhou.

Since we don't do business with Yunzhou,

those people

couldn't be there.

A bunch of fools.

They don't even know that

their husbands are dead.

Dead?

Dead?

Granny, take your time.

No worries.

My son Gen and I

have depended on each other.

Gen is very filial.

He was worried that I would be afraid alone,

so even if everyone else went to the sea,

he never did so.

Take your time.

Mom.

I am going to work.

Okay.

Come back early.

I'll make you dried bamboo shoots with meat.

I am leaving.

Come back early.

Don't worry, Mom.

But that night,

Gen sent word that

he had gone to sea with others,

and never came back

since then.

After that, you never

heard from him again?

- (I've received his money and letter once.) - Have you seen my son Gen?

(It's written in the letter that)

- (he's doing well on the boat.) - Have you seen my son Gen?

That tall.

(He didn't specify)

- (where he had gone) - Have you seen my son Gen?

(or what ship he was on.)

(I only got that one letter.)

(It's been four years.)

(Even ordinary crew members)

(can take leave)

(and go home once a year.)

Gen.

Where is my Gen?

Where is my Gen?

Piss off.

What a crazy woman.

Gen!

(That mace pendant)

- (was put on Gen) - Where is my Gen?

by my dead husband himself.

I'm sure about it.

What else?

Any other findings?

I found nothing

on the wharf.

But when

I went back to the village,

I ran into Mr. Wang's men

providing porridge in the village.

It occurred to me that

a few days before Gen left,

his men were also

providing porridge in the village,

and had a chat with Gen.

He knew that

we only had each other.

Later,

the more I thought about it, the more I felt something was wrong.

There are many men

in the village who go to sea.

But none of those who went to sea

after Mr. Wang's men

providing porridge

come back.

Something must have happened.

I told them that

your husbands were all dead

and couldn't come back.

But none of them

believed me.

How could I

be joking with

my own son's life?

You are rich people

from Haifang.

You must know

a lot of officials.

I am begging you

to ask the official

to find out the whereabouts of Gen.

Granny.

Is he dead or still alive?

My Gen

must have been killed by someone.

Granny.

Granny Liu, don't worry.

In fact, I am the magistrate of Haifang.

I will definitely take care of

Gen's grievances.

You are the officer!

- Granny. - Granny, get up.

Get up, please.

Granny, don't worry.

Trust him

on this matter.

We will definitely check it out

and give you an explanation.

Okay, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

(Magistrate's Residence)

In the name of the best,

he does the worst.

Wang Jinyao.

Your days of lawlessness

should be over.

Recently, I have been wondering

why the pirates in Haifang

can't be eliminated.

After today,

I seem to have an answer.

You also thought of it?

I didn't dare to think about it before.

Did Wang Jinyao really use

the people of Liu's Village to make up the number?

I checked the files.

Whenever there is a major case

that will be held accountable by the court,

pirates will immediately

come forward to take the blame.

Pirates don't grow

out of the soil.

How could they be everywhere?

It doesn't seem to be the first time

Wang Jinyao has played this trick.

He is horrible.

How dare he

do that?

Why can't anyone else

see through his trap

except Granny Liu?

That's the trick point.

He would never look for people

in the same village,

but from the surrounding villages,

he looked for ordinary people

who were deserted,

introverted, and would never resist.

These people

are like dust in his eyes,

once blown into the wind,

they will disappear immediately.

So those

who went to sea in Liu's Village

will never come back, right?

Ning Yuxuan.

No one else should die anymore.

No one else should sacrifice

in Wang Jinyao's trap.

You have to find a way

to get justice

for them.

I will.

(Haoxue Cosmetics)

Mr. Qin.

What's up?

Qian Lianxue.

Why do you keep avoiding me recently?

I don't.

You do.

Is it because of the bank notes?

Thank you for your generous help

last time.

But don't worry.

I will definitely

return the money to you as soon as possible.

Who do you think I am?

We are friends.

Now that my friend is in trouble,

how can I not help?

I just want to ask

if you have solved

that problem.

Yes.

What happened exactly?

Can you tell me?

I hope you can trust me.

I...

Although I live in my cousin's house

all year round,

this matter

is my own family affair.

I hope you will allow me

to retain the dignity.

Alright.

If you

need my help

in the future,

feel free to let me know.

Thank you, Mr. Qin.

Big Mouth.

Why call me Mr. Qin?

Why are you treating me

like an outsider?

I'm used to you

calling me by my nickname.

Your Ladyship. Your Ladyship.

Congratulations, Sangyu.

What's the happy event?

I heard that you and my brother-in-law

rekindled lost love with a kiss in the mountain village,

and are in love as before,

making others envious.

Don't talk nonsense.

Sangyu, my brother-in-law was so deeply in love that

he couldn't help himself.

After you lost your memory,

you became more proficient

at controlling your husband.

I don't care.

You have to teach me a few tricks.

I don't know anything.

Don't always think about...

Do you have

someone you like?

Let me guess.

The one my sister likes

must be

a brave and mighty general.

He should be called...

Stop it.

I will blush

at the mention of his name.

I didn't expect my tough sister

to be so shy.

Sangyu.

I will definitely conquer General Tao.

Our parents will be very happy

to know that we both

have a good marriage.

Muxu.

Do you think

I really look like

Nie Sangyu?

My Lady, to be honest,

you look exactly the same

as the First Lady.

Exactly the same?

It's a pity that our destinies are totally different.

She was really miserable.

If General Nie knew that

she was

no longer alive,

he would definitely feel very sad.

Don't worry.

His Lordship will definitely

handle this properly.

I grew up without sisters.

But getting along with Qingyun

these days

makes me feel very close to her.

If

I could take good care of Qingyun,

Nie Sangyu

would feel more at ease, right?

Yes.

If the First Lady knows,

she will be very happy.

But, My Lady,

ultimately

Ship Guihai is our home.

I know.

Is there any news about

when my dad will come back?

My Lady, don't worry.

I have ordered someone

to go to the capital to find him.

Within half a month,

you will definitely meet Mr. Ji.

Really?

Don't lie to me.

Of course I won't.

What did you say?

Sangyu is dead?

Is there any basis

for your statement?

There is a village

not far from where Her Ladyship fell into the water.

Several villagers

saw a female corpse by the river.

It couldn't be Sangyu.

They felt sorry for her,

so they built a grave for her.

No way.

No way.

I'm going to check.

I'm going to check.

Master.

Master.

My condolences.

In order to confirm the identity of Her Ladyship,

the jade pendant that she had been wearing

since she was a child

was indeed found

on the female corpse.

The jade pendant...

Did you see exactly

Sangyu's jade pendant?

Are you sure?

Yes.

No way.

No way.

Master.

Sangyu!

My poor Sangyu!

Master, my condolences.

Sangyu

was afraid of being alone since she was a child.

Yet she ended up

dying alone.

My poor child!

Master.

One more thing.

The locals said that

not long ago, someone also went to

inquire about the whereabouts of Her Ladyship.

Ning Yuxuan.

He must have sent someone

to inquire about Sangyu's whereabouts.

Since Ning Yuxuan knew that

my daughter was dead,

why did he keep it from me?

I also

find it odd.

Since Her Ladyship is gone,

who is the First Lady

of the Ning's Mansion now?

Ning Yuxuan.

Okay.

Good.

Great.

It's good that you found her.

I am bound to

be worried about

this girl.

After you return to Haifang,

you can see Miss Ji.

By then,

you will be reunited.

I hope

she will stop

causing trouble for me.

(Zuixiao Restaurant)

Nice wine.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon.

This is the first Mid-Autumn Festival

since our cooperation.

I'd like to

give you a great gift.

Mr. Wang, you are so generous.

Could you tell me anything

about the gift?

In Haifang, the 15th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar

is the day when the Tael Ship enters the capital

to contribute taels.

What do you think

the gift would be?

Official taels?

Mr. Wang.

This is a capital crime

that the whole family will be implicated in.

Have you thought about

how to get out

after robbing the official ship?

Mr. Yuan, you must be confused.

How can the two of us

rob the official ship?

As far as I know,

pirates are rampant around Haifang

and often do unrighteous things.

It will be them who rob the official ship.

What does it have to do with us?

If something goes wrong,

a few common people will be handed over to take the blame.

Don't worry.

We've been doing that

for years.

What?

Are you afraid?

I'm not afraid.

Since you have thought of

a coup to escape,

why would I be afraid?

It's just...

What else?

I'll charge in front,

and you'll enjoy the benefits in the back.

It's kind of unfair.

Do you know that

I coped with the aftermath

of all the trouble that the Dragon Gang has made

these years?

What do you mean?

What I mean is that

I had to take care of

what Xiajiu House

didn't do well before.

In short,

we cannot let Haifang

fall into the hands of others.

Since you and I have the same goal,

why not let me

give you

a great gift this time?

Except for the taels

contributed to manage the superiors on the Tael Ship,

we will each get

half of the rest.

Shen Liancheng didn't get

so much before.

Okay, deal.

Now that Mr. Wang is so righteous,

how could I say no?

Here, cheers.

Okay.

Cheers.

Tomorrow is the 15th day of the eighth month.

Is the Tael Ship ready?

Yes.

Go and check again

to avoid any omissions.

Yes, Your Lordship.

Ning Yuxuan.

Why are you here?

What's this?

I just went to Ship Guihai

to get you something.

What's it? Why so mysterious?

A talisman.

Only a piece of wood.

You tell me it's a talisman?

My dad always takes it

before going to sea.

This is called touch the wood to stay safe, understand?

Touch the wood to stay safe.

Okay, I will take it.

Don't pretend

as if nothing happened.

I'm so anxious.

Wang Jinyao

is so despicable and cunning.

What if

he plays any tricks?

Don't worry.

I have my own countermeasures.

Really?

Keep it well

and come back safely.

Ask Mr. Ling to rest assured.

On the 15th day of the eighth month,

Ning Yuxuan will

personally escort the taels.

Since he's courting death in a hurry,

let him disappear into the sea

with those taels.

Are you sure of your success this time?

Since it is a major event to escort the taels,

Ning Yuxuan will definitely let the elite soldiers aboard.

Can those under your command

compete with them?

I've made arrangements.

A sharp knife

can deal with Ning Yuxuan.

A sharp knife?

Yuan Lang,

the new chief of the Dragon Gang.

He robbed a merchant ship smuggling goods

for me before.

And he did a good job.

He has always been against Ning Yuxuan.

Ning Yuxuan's men have

also kept an eye on the Dragon Gang,

preventing him from doing something big.

Yuan Lang has the same goal as ours,

which is to get rid of Ning Yuxuan.

That being the case,

don't let me down again

this time.

Don't worry, sir.

Ning Yuxuan can never

turn the tide in Haifang.

His days are numbered.

(Wharf)

Mr. Ning.

Mr. Wang.

Mr. Ning.

Mr. Wang.

Recently, pirates have been rampant

in the waters around Haifang.

I specially brought a few

skilled guards

in the hope that

we can send the taels to the capital safely this time.

Great.

I can't thank you enough

for your help.

To be honest,

in the past few years,

I personally led my people

from the Sea Trade Guild

to escort the taels.

Life on the sea is never peaceful.

If I don't do my job well,

I'll lose my life.

Now with Mr. Ning's help,

I feel relieved.

I have prepared

everything on board.

All the taels

have been sealed last night

and put into the warehouse.

My men

have been guarding the perimeter of the ship.

As long as you issue an order,

we can set sail.

Before it's too late,

let's get on board.

Sure, please.

Please.

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship, wait for me.

You...

Mr. Ning.

I'll be on board first.

I have prepared something

for traveling for you,

and I brought them here specially for you.

Ning Yuxuan.

Why are you here?

Didn't you say you wouldn't come to see me off last night?

I'd like to...

I will leave you two alone.

I'll take the things

to the ship first.

About Miss Wen...

I'm not talking about this.

I want to say that

even though you made preparations

last night,

I am still worried.

No worries.

It will be fine.

Take care.

Just put it here, right?

Trust me.

Wait here for my return.

One more.

Take care of yourself.

- There is more. - Be careful with everything.

I will.

I am leaving.

Put it here?

Come on, here.

Your Ladyship, don't worry.

Come on, watch out.

Order carefully.

Excuse me. Excuse me.

Our ships

are all ready.

We brought

the best of the best.

But, Chief,

have you made up your mind?

Neither Ning Yuxuan nor Wang Jinyao

can be trusted.

Ask everyone to be vigilant.

Wait for the opportunity to act at sea.

Yes.

Sirs, take care.

Muxu.

I always feel anxious

and at a loss.

Why did Wang Jinyao

agree to cooperate with Ning Yuxuan

so easily?

Well...

Shall we go back and have a look?

Okay.

Let's go.

Muxu.

We'll split up in a while.

If you find anything suspicious,

come to me immediately.

Yes.

Miss Wen?

Why hasn't she disembarked yet?

Miss Wen.

Why are you still here?

Muxu.

Why are you here?

Her Ladyship said that

you have to disembark.

This is His Lordship's room.

Why should I disembark?

Muxu, why are you on board?

Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

Miss Wen hasn't disembarked yet.

Her Ladyship asked me to come and find her.

I'd like to talk

to Your Lordship along the way.

Isn't it good?

I said that

I am here for business.

Muxu.

Take Miss Wen off the boat.

Yes.

I promise that I will

send Miss Wen back to the Mansion safely.

Miss Wen, please.

What's this?

It's the smell of petroleum.

Here.

Okay. Go.

Go.

Here.

Watch your steps.

Where is Her Ladyship?

Her Ladyship?

Her Ladyship

got on board with me.

Maybe His Lordship

asked her to stay.

Carry it. Go.

You let me off the boat,

but she went away herself.

Did you arrange this

on purpose?

Miss Wen, that's not true.

Who stays and who goes

is up to His Lordship.

And it was His Lordship who let you disembark.

How could we arrange this?

Excuse me. Excuse me.

The ship sailed away.

Miss Wen.

Let's go back.

Your Lordship.

Miss Wen has disembarked.

Wen Wan really

doesn't care about priorities.

She's not like Her Ladyship

who is on the same page as you.

Your Lordship.

I looked around on the ship.

In addition to the handymen on the ship,

Wang Jinyao has about ten people.

Four guard the warehouse.

Four patrol the deck.

The remaining two

work beside

Wang Jinyao.

I see.

Well done.

You...

Mr. Ning.

Mr. Wang invited you

to play chess in his room.

Play chess?

Okay, I see.

Ask our men

to wait on deck.

Notify me immediately

of any changes.

Yes, sir.

Coming.

Mr. Ning.

This journey would take a long time.

I was afraid that

you would be bored,

so

I brought the chessboard.

How about it, Mr. Ning?

Would you like to try?

Mr. Wang is a master at chess.

Alright, let's do it.

Okay.

I'm just playing it for fun.

Mr. Ning.

Anything on your mind?

I really can't hide it from Mr. Wang.

This is my first time going to sea.

I hope everything goes well

and the taels

can be delivered safely.

As I expected.

What's Wang Jinyao up to?

Everyone knows that Mr. Ning

has rectified the Dragon Gang

and subdued Shen Liancheng,

the former chief of it.

Speaking of the Dragon Gang,

Mr. Wang, what do you think of

the new chief?

I haven't had time

to get acquainted

with this person.

But since he was elected as the chief,

he must have

something he excels in.

Mr. Ning.

I'm going to

take this.

Mr. Wang,

what a clever move.

It was my mistake

to arrange the pieces here.

Playing chess

is like appointing people.

You have to put it

in the right position

to play its value.

So...

Chief Yuan

has got the Guild's badge

and can enter and exit the Guild freely.

It seems that Mr. Wang

is going to make good use of him.

Mr. Ning,

your men are all over Haifang.

Nothing escapes your eyes.

It's not about

if anything can escape my eyes.

But what's so special about Chief Yuan

that impressed you?

Recently, several foreign merchant ships

were robbed in Haifang.

We haven't found out the details of the pirates yet.

As for the background of Chief Yuan...

My bad.

Mr. Wang, just be careful.

Mrs. Ning's cargo

is among the lost cargo ships.

Mrs. Ning cares about the poor in Haifang,

so she specially shipped herbs from other places.

She's really well-intentioned.

But

I heard that

Yuan Lang

and Mrs. Ning

were old acquaintances.

Presumably the matter of pirates

has nothing to do with him.

I hope so.

I am afraid

you are going to lose this.

Mr. Wang, hold on.

Victory or defeat

is not yet

decided.
