[Episode 5]

Guangyao, it is so nice

that you agreed to stay with us.

I couldn't be happier.

Thank you, Madam. It's my pleasure.

Guangyao,

if you find anything to be unsatisfactory here, please tell me.

Brother Guangyao, please eat more.

We are a family. We've known each other well.

That's right.

Thank you, Uncle, Madam, and Miss Wanting.

It's fixed.

Thank you so much, Sir. You are very skilled.

Sister Mu.

It's really you!

Are you… Miss Tan Si?

What are you doing here?

Coincidentally, I'm getting a photo album revised in the store next door.

You like drawing, Miss Si?

I like drawing portraits.

But just as a hobby.

Sister Mu, are you familiar with Mr. Pei Shaojun?

No, I don't know him.

What about his friends?

No, I'm not familiar with them either.

So how do you know Mr. Xu?

Sister Mu, tell me how to get close to

a junior marshal like him from the provincial military governor's mansion?

Why don't you ask me for help then?

I, your brother, am very experienced, you know.

Why are you here? Did you follow me?

You…

"You" what?

Look at you.

You look so fierce. Like a demon.

When girls see you, they have to run…

run the other way.

I am very popular with girls, okay?

Tan Si told me you secretly escaped again.

Do you think I won't lock you up?

What gives you the right to lock me up?

I didn't break the law.

Listen! Don't think that because you are Commander of Shanghai,

you can bully the weak and helpless.

If you dare lock me up,

I will…

I will release a report tomorrow.

I will cut ties with you.

I will break your leg!

- Stop! - Sister Mu, help!

Miss Si is still a child.

Why do you treat her like this?

You don't know. She lacks discipline.

I was busy leading troops so I couldn't take care of her.

There are people in the world who Commander Tan can't control?

Sir, did you pack my drawing?

Yes, it's ready.

I'll get it for you.

Right. Here you are.

Thank you!

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

I'm so hungry.

- Brother Guangyao. - I just moved here today.

I've come to say hello to you.

Madam said you left for business

and didn't even have a bite to eat.

I've brought a late snack for you.

Have a glass of milk first.

Thank you.

I'm sorry. I was too busy to welcome you today.

It doesn't matter.

How is it going?

My mother's funeral will be in two days.

I went to the funeral parlor today and got everything ready.

Don't tire yourself out.

If you need help, feel free to tell me.

Oh right, Brother Guangyao.

From now on, don't come to my room alone at night.

Why?

Wanting doesn't like it when we are alone.

We'd better avoid suspicion.

We grew up together.

Is it necessary to avoid suspicion?

But last time after you came back from the Command,

Wanting had a fit.

We'd better stop it.

I have nothing to do with her.

What is there to have a fit about?

But Wanting thinks she is your fiancée.

That's her own thinking.

Brother Guangyao,

in this family, Aunt Cui is the madam.

Wanting is the eldest daughter.

I don't want to cause any trouble.

All right. Please go back now. Quick.

- D-Don't forget to have food. - Okay, I will.

Good night. Bye-bye.

- What about this? - Try it.

- The coffee is good. - It looks good.

Wanqing.

This is the new order from the foreign trading company.

- Brother Guangyao. - Have a look.

What do you like?

Brother Guangyao,

does this look nice?

Come and have a look.

There are many new goods that arrived today.

Look for what you want.

Thank you, Aunt Cui.

- Madam. - Yes?

Baoli Pawnshop called

saying there is a mistake and that they gave you Miss Wanqing's receipt.

Please keep it safe, and they will change it tomorrow morning.

How is that possible?

Let me have a look.

It wasn't the wrong one.

It's really the wrong receipt.

Wanqing.

You went to have jewelry repaired?

Brother's jade pendant was broken,

and I went to have it repaired.

Payer, Tan Xuanlin.

Wait! Why is Commander Tan's name on here?

Wanqing, did you ask…

Commander Tan to pay for it?

Mother, let me have a look.

- Why are you so troublesome? - Let me have a look.

It really is the signature of Commander Tan.

Father, look.

I'd say Sister and Commander Tan

must have a good relationship.

Otherwise, she could have asked us

to help with Brother Yuanhang's heirloom.

Wanting!

Wanqing,

can you explain this?

- Hello? - Commander Tan, if you have time

please come to our house for lunch at noon.

That sounds good. It'll be my honor.

I will go over now.

All right.

Tan Si, get the car ready.

Mr. Mu invited us to lunch.

Why does Mr. Mu always surprise us like this?

The pork was stewed in soy sauce for two hours.

Don't complain.

The timing is perfect.

The lunch will be very pleasant for both hosts and guests.

Let's go.

This way, please.

My Lord, the guest has arrived.

Commander Tan, welcome to our home.

Commander Tan, welcome.

Mr. Mu, thank you for your hospitality.

I came in a hurry, so I did not bring a gift

other than a bottle of Jiangcheng wine.

Today, let's enjoy a drink together with Brother Guangyao.

Good. Come. Please take a seat.

- Please. - Come.

Today, I invited you to our house.

First, is to perform my duties as a host.

Second, is to thank you for looking after our daughter.

Yes, Commander Tan.

Wanqing's jade pendant was broken

and you paid to get it repaired.

We are very ashamed.

As her mother… I've been careless.

Mrs. Mu, it wasn't a problem.

Please do not worry.

In fact...

Based on our friendship,

even if I wasn't the one who broke it,

I really didn't have to pay it for you.

I broke the jade pendant,

so I had it repaired.

This is only natural.

Miss Mu didn't blame me for it, which I am very thankful for.

So please don't thank me for looking after her.

You were even able to break such a small jade pendant.

What a coincidence!

It was indeed a coincidence.

I was accompanying Miss Shuang'er shopping at Seven Treasure Alley,

when I came across Miss Mu.

Where did you meet?

I met him at Seven Treasure Alley.

He pulled me to him as soon as he saw me.

And it accidentally broke.

Wanqing.

I think you must not have been watching your steps on the street,

and you knocked into Commander Tan. Isn't that right?

That's not true.

I pulled Miss Mu to me,

perhaps a bit too aggressively

and broke the jade pendant as a result.

The jade pendant was broken because of Commander Tan,

so he paid for its repairs.

I don't mean to be rude, Commander Tan.

So you said you walked down the street with this Miss Shuang.

Our Wanqing...

still counts as a lady from a noble family.

It's not good, right?

Well…

Oh, by the way…

What happened on that day?

He was afraid that Brother Guangyao would know that he went shopping.

Well…

He'll talk official business with me. I don't want to talk about that.

Please don't tell him you met me here.

In fact…

In fact, I didn't want Miss Mu

to tell Brother Guangyao that she had met me at Seven Treasure Alley.

Brother Guangyao, I'm sorry.

I lied to you.

That time, I didn't drink with Fei Andun.

I had to go shopping with Miss Shuang'er.

So…

Looks like Commander Tan, you went through so much trouble

just to avoid talking business with me.

Brother Guangyao, I will punish myself with a glass of wine.

- What a story! Really. - Yes.

In any case, we should thank Commander Tan

for looking after our daughter.

Come! Let's drink a couple more glasses.

With pleasure, Mr. Mu.

- Cheers! - Cheers!

[Baoli Pawnshop, 200 silver dollars]

[Tan Xuanlin] The pawnshop receipt

actually received a stamp from the Command.

Were you afraid nobody would know you'd pay for it?

It's no wonder you dealt with it perfectly.

It was your plan all along.

I will confront you about the receipt right now

and see what your explanation will be.

Mother! Tan Xuanlin covered for her today.

I was the one who broke the jade pendant.

Today, we suddenly created trouble

so Mu Wanqing would have no time

to discuss with Tan Xuanlin.

But Tan Xuanlin's words were the same as hers.

Because their answers were the same,

this whole matter seems suspicious.

They must have some secrets.

That brat is so scheming.

Luckily, you secretly transferred her mother's dowry

and hid it from her.

Otherwise, she would have used the money to bribe Tan Xuanlin

and deal with us.

What should we do then?

If we had known, we shouldn't have even given her the jewelry.

The valuable ones

were put in my mother's house long ago.

Now Brother Guangyao is living in our house,

this bitch must be wanting to lure him to her in any way she can.

She's also fawning over Tan Xuanlin.

What should we do now?

She has two purposes.

The first is money.

The second is career.

Then should we let her be?

This time, she was lucky and succeeded.

To prevent your father from getting suspicious,

we should wait.

Mother,

we should just remove her.

We will get another chance.

Next time, she won't be so lucky.

Hello?

Thank you for today.

Let's meet somewhere.

Miss Mu, this place is so nice.

I would have never expected

that the lively Shanghai Bund

would have such a quiet place.

Commander Tan, you are used to lively places.

Thank you for accompanying me.

It doesn't matter.

As long as you, the eldest daughter of the Mu family, like it,

I'm willing to come.

Thank you for explaining everything today during lunch.

And so perfectly at that.

I just lifted my finger.

Lifted your finger?

I think you prepared for it.

Listening to your words, it seems like you aren't here to thank me.

It was just a small receipt,

but you personally signed as the commander

with the stamp of the Command.

I am extremely flattered.

I'm sure you did this for today's act.

Even if it was an act,

I'd say I was a good actor.

Yes, you were.

You made Cui Lianfeng and Mu Wanting terrified of me.

They'll try again.

You can't get rid of them.

If Cui Lianfeng didn't try to attack you,

how could she have gotten this receipt?

Do you think you can survive in the Mu family

if you just try to just avoid troubles?

You are right.

I won't be passive anymore.

Do you mean you agree to cooperate with me?

Yes.

I don't remember who said that they

looked down upon my schemes of infighting.

A good horse never turns around to graze on an old pasture.

I should think it over.

Commander Tan,

why are you playing this game of letting me go after controlling me before?

Haven't you worked so hard

to get me to cooperate with you?

You are a lonely commander

who needs the support of the Mu family.

So at the party,

when you knew I was Mu Zhiyuan's daughter,

you made this plan.

I'm listening.

Didn't you take my diary and purposely leave your briefcase

because you wanted me to visit you?

And you extorted fifty-thousand silver dollars from me

when you knew I couldn't afford it.

You saw me pawning jewelry at the pawnshop

and appeared to rescue me from embarrassment.

You even left behind the receipt

to make Cui Lianfeng doubt our relationship

and to have my own father question me.

Everything you did

was to make me lose my standing in the Mu family

and to force me to work with you.

Commander Tan, you are definitely very cunning.

Congratulations on achieving your goal.

I did force you,

but you won't suffer losses if you work with me.

After all, only I know

how to help a pitiable person turn over a new leaf.

If we cooperate,

I have two conditions.

Tell me.

First. As partners, we should trust each other.

From now on, don't play your tricks on me.

Second. Partners should benefit each other.

If you treat me well, I will return the favor.

But don't try to ask for more.

Fine. I agree.

How about this?

I will help you remain on good terms with the Mu family.

Once you have influence and power, help me raise my soldiers' pay.

What do you think?

How will you make that happen?

I have already sent support for you to the Mu family.

Do you mean Brother Guangyao?

So this was all your plan?

I never do anything without preparation.

If you stop playing tricks on me, you would indeed be a good partner.

I also believe you are a reliable partner.

So, I'll return this to you.

Do you have a lighter?

Yes, I do.

What do you want to do?

It's such a good diary! Wouldn't it be a pity to burn it?

No. Every page is in my heart already.

[October 15, 1925]

Fine. How about this?

If we work together as a couple, we can achieve anything.

I will get back everything you've lost.

Then I have another condition.

Say it.

No more saying that we're pretending to be a couple.

It hurts!

You are so strong.

Miss Gu, an officer wants to see you.

Young Uncle.

[Shanghai Movie Studio]

You are…

I've sent flowers these past few days, but it seems they all got lost.

You didn't even give an answer. So...

I had to personally come.

So you are that Mr. Su.

I am Su Hongchen.

We met at the party in the Mu mansion.

Your beauty has impressed me.

I don't know if I have the honor to be friends with you.

I'm picky. I don't like to randomly make friends.

What a coincidence! I'm flawless.

I suit you very well.

Be careful.

My eyes are soul catching mirrors

You can't get out once you come in.

How did my hair become a mess again?

Your mirrors are quite good.

I have to shoot a film. Goodbye.

Miss Gu. Miss Gu. Your flower!

Put it over there. Thanks. [Shanghai Movie Studio]

[Defense Command of Shanghai]

Who's there? It's morning! Why are you knocking and not letting me sleep!

You woke me up…

This is your schedule today. I received it from the vice officer. [Schedule of Commander Tan]

It says you don't have any official business to do this morning.

Shall we talk about the settlement of the soldiers?

I beg you. I haven't had breakfast.

Shall we talk about it after breakfast? I beg you. Please.

Let's talk over breakfast.

Commander Tan, you have more than two thousand soldiers?

That's nearly the size of two regiments.

The entire Shanghai Defense Command

only has one established security regiment.

So many people will cost a lot.

We should settle your troops to ease your worries, right?

Where did you buy the buns? They're delicious!

Commander Tan, if you like them, I can buy them for you every day.

No, that's fine. Tell me where you bought them. I will buy them myself.

Shall we talk about business?

Fine. Wait for me.

On the right side of your mouth.

Brother Guangyao, the settlement of more than two thousand people isn't a simple case.

They are my brothers who have followed me for a decade. I won't treat them so hastily.

I won't let them carry sandbags at the dock.

So I want to think about the long-term. Please give me some time.

Can I help? The Xu family has some prestige in Shanghai.

No, no. If I ask for your help in such a small case,

it would be embarrassing as the Commander of Shanghai.

Please eat. And tell me where you bought them.

Quick, quick!

Supervisor Xu is so kind to treat you to good food.

How would he know you would never feel grateful for what others give to you?

You talk too much. You can follow him.

No. I will always follow you, Commander.

Besides, nice guys finish last. I am waiting for the soldier's pay.

I will go find Supervisor Xu.

All right.

Mother. Rest in peace.

Please rest easy.

I will get back everything we lost one by one.

Supervisor Xu, you are so hardworking.

[Defense Deployment Map of Shanghai ]

What is it? Can I help you?

I've come... to ask you about something.

I heard the funeral procession for Ms. Xiao was very small.

It's too shabby for the funeral of being Mr. Mu's first wife.

Today is the funeral procession of Aunt Xiao?

Yes. I thought the Command could do something.

But Mrs. Xiao and Mr. Mu had divorced,

and she was buried in the tomb in her mother's hometown. The relationship is a bit embarrassing.

I originally planned to offer my condolences, but I found it to be inappropriate.

So I've come to ask you.

If it is not convenient for you, don't force yourself.

All right.

Supervisor.

Actually, I think Miss Mu is pitiful.

I heard she was going to stay in Fayuan Temple for a whole night.

I'm afraid she will be in danger in the wild.

It's a Buddhist temple, so it should be safe.

You are right.

By the way, my father gave me some business to deal with.

I will go out for a bit.

[Fayuan Temple]

[Fair and Upright]

Amitabha.

Benefactress, you will be awake the whole night.

Do you need two female companions?

No, Master.

My mother loved the quiet when she was alive.

I want to stay with her alone.

Your mother has been buried. Restrain your grief.

We will look after the altar lamps you asked for.

I pray that your mother goes to Heaven early.

Thank you, Master.

Amitabha.

Junior Marshal, the tire is flat. It will take some time to change it.

Change it. I will go up myself.

Junior Marshal, it'll be a long walk.

[The memorial tablet of Xiao Bingqing]

Mother,

I've finally brought you home.

Don't worry about me.

I will live a good life.

I believe God is fair.

He will make up for

the pains we suffer.

[The memorial tablet of Xiao Bingqing]

Cousin.

Who are you?

I am Cui Jie.

The madam at the Mu mansion,

Cui Lianfeng, is my aunt by blood.

She said you were alone,

so she asked me to keep your company.

Mr. Cui, thank you. You may go.

Look.

Now that we are alone, a boy and girl can make love.

Cousin, come here.

[Hall of Bhaisajyaguru]

Stop!

Who are you?

What happened?

Who are you?

How dare you ruin my perfect opportunity!

Go away!

I will teach you a lesson for protecting the beautiful girl.

What are you going to do?

What are you doing?

There must be a misunderstanding. You must have made a mistake.

Get on.

Go. Report to the Command. Miss Mu is safe.

- Hello? - Sir, there is only one here. Miss Wanqing is safe.

Only one? All right. I got it.

She should be safe.

Xu Guangyao has caught onto the bait.

You can go.

Yes.

A boy and girl in the wild…

It's none of my business.

Tan Si, get the car ready.

Yes, Sir.

Did you know

when I was young, Mother always told me

after a person died, he or she would become a star in the sky.

Do you think my mother and brother became stars and are looking at me from above?

[The memorial tablet of Xiao Bingqing]

I believe they are not only looking at you,

but also staying by your side.

I always think…

how nice it would be if they were still alive.

I'd be together with them and stay by their side.

Wanqing,

you still have me.

I will stay by your side.

It doesn't matter.

After so many years, I've gotten used to it.

Commander, you can't see them.

You wouldn't be able to see them even if you pushed your eyes into the binoculars.

Xu Guangyao may look like a gentleman.

But in the temple, he's alone with her.

Well…

Supervisor Xu and Miss Mu are probably having a good time.

Why did we hurry just to freeze out here in the wild?

Nonsense!

Commander. Well… if you indeed want to go in,

let's get off and go straight there.

How about it?

Do you take me for a fool?

Wouldn't that be ridiculous?

Fine.

Let's stay.

Stay here.

It's you.

A single day apart seems like three days.

Shut up.

I've come to talk with you about something.

As expected. You always have a reason for coming.

Tell me.

Today, when I went outside, I saw Mu Wanting acting strangely.

I found an excuse to follow her.

She went to secretly see a man in a gambling house.

It was Cui Lianfeng's nephew, a typical hooligan who behaves irrationally.

I guess they were planning to hurt me.

They are in such a hurry.

Relax. I will send people to watch out for the hooligan

and protect you from harm.

Thank you.

Forget it. It's nothing.

I am also doing it for myself.

If something were to happen to you, wages for my soldiers would be gone.

I'm not cold.

Just put it on.

Don't worry.

I will try my best to protect you.

[Goodnight]

Goodnight.
