=Romance of a Twin Flower=

=Episode 34=

She looks so much like her.

The resemblance is uncanny.

Except for parents and immediate family, no one can tell

the difference between them.

Even I

have a hard time telling the difference.

Looking at Man is like looking at Sangyu.

It's such a pity

that she died so young.

Nie, don't feel too bad.

It was her destiny.

But sadly,

I didn't get

to see her before she died.

I am

such a bad father.

Mr. Nie, please don't say something like that.

If… If she was still alive,

she would not want to see you like this.

Mr. Nie, does Qingyun know that you came?

How about I take you to see her?

I wrote her a letter a few days ago.

Didn't she tell you?

No, she didn't.

Maybe she's been too busy with her betrothal, so she forgot.

Betrothal?

With whom?

(Magistrate's Residence)

Dad, Dad.

How do I look?

Sangyu dressed me up, but I don't feel right.

Qingyun, if you had dressed like this before, you

would have been married long ago.

Really?

Do I look good in this?

Your sister has good taste.

Qingyun, don't you worry.

We will take care of your betrothal.

General Tao is here.

They are here.

Qingyun.

She's here.

Sir.

General Nie.

Sangyu.

Good.

Sit.

We are gathered here to talk about the betrothal

between General Tao and Qingyun.

Qingyun.

Qingyun.

Stop looking at General Tao.

You'll spend the rest of your lives together.

Yuxuan, stop making fun of me.

General Tao,

I have always admired you, though you're young.

And as fellow martial artists, we are straightforward people.

After I came to Haifang, I heard that you and my daughter

are fond of each other,

and I couldn't be happier.

If you two are officially betrothed, I will be

so relieved.

Come on.

Let's have a drink.

Cheers.

Qingyun is a good girl.

She's very nice to me.

The hairpin is an heirloom of mine.

Tonight,

I give it to you.

I…

General Tao,

are you sure?

I have made up my mind.

I will cherish the one before me.

I will marry you.

Great.

I, too, prepared a gift for you.

But it's not as valuable as yours.

I have worked on it for a long time.

Hope you like it.

(Tao)

General Tao,

you will be responsible for Qingyun moving forward.

You must not fail her.

OK.

I say, we make their betrothal official.

You will move on to the following procedures as soon as possible.

Sure, Dad.

Come on.

Here's a toast to General Tao

and Qingyun.

General Tao,

Qingyun, I give you my best wishes.

Thanks, cheers.

Both my daughters

are with a good man.

There will be no regrets for me.

Dad.

I am happy.

I'll have another drink.

Are you okay, General Nie?

Have some tea to sober up.

I'm fine.

It's just

I feel sorry for Sangyu.

It looks like you have already known.

It is

my fault.

It's my fault for spoiling her.

She always got her way, so she was arrogant and domineering.

It's all my fault.

If I had been a little stricter, it wouldn't…

It wouldn't have ended up like this.

On the cliff,

I didn't know that it was Ji Man who I saved.

I thought I saved Sangyu.

If I had been more careful,

it would…

I failed to protect her.

It was rather peculiar.

It wasn't your fault.

You didn't know that they were twin sisters.

For what is worth,

Sangyu and I were still married.

After knowing the truth, I built an altar for her in an old temple.

Please tell me the location.

I will go visit her.

The dead is gone, the living still lives.

When I saw Ji Man earlier, I felt like

I saw Sangyu for a moment.

But Sangyu

was not as lucky as Ji Man.

You two love each other so much.

I have to say that fate has played a prank

on all of us.

Oh, right.

How are you

going to handle the relationship

between you and Ji Man?

It's old story.

I don't want this thing

to further hurt Ji Man anymore.

(Nie Sangyu is dead.)

(I always thought that Nie Sangyu had changed.)

(It turns out it wasn't that.)

(She's just dead.)

(That person's name is Ji Man.)

(How can it be like that?)

(Autumn Moon Cold River)

Watch out, Qingyun.

I'm so happy, Sangyu.

Yeah, yeah.

Watch out for the steps.

- I'm now General Tao's… - Easy.

I'm General Tao's wife now.

Sang Shen, hold her.

Where's General Tao?

Sangyu.

Mr. Tao.

Be careful.

Qingyun.

I have something to say to you.

Qingyun's drunk.

I'll… You take her back to her room.

Why?

Come on.

Sang Shen, Muxu.

Be careful.

Take it easy.

Sangyu.

- I'll be back soon. - Now, go back to your room.

- You go first. - Take it easy.

Slowly. Come.

Mr. Tao, what is the matter?

It's my happy day.

I am getting quite nostalgic.

How about you have some more drinks with me?

Sangyu, we were classmates for years,

and now, we both have our own family.

How time flies.

Am I right?

Do you remember how we talked about what the future would be like?

Fortunately, our dreams have come true.

You have become a boss lady as you intended.

Yes.

Although the journey was bumpy, luckily, we have got what we wanted.

Hold on.

I remember your wish was to marry the one you love the most.

Was it?

Well,

people change.

Yes.

You have changed.

You are different from before.

You

are now getting more and more endearing.

I give you and Ning

my best wishes.

Sangyu, have you noticed that Ning's personality and yours are alike?

You're both strong-minded.

You don't want to lose.

I remember one time, we skipped school

and went to fly a kite by the river.

The kite accidentally got stuck on a tree.

I proposed to get it for you, but you said no.

In the end, you personally took the kite… Mr. Tao,

I said to you earlier

that there are certain things that I cannot tell you at the moment.

When the time is right, I will make myself clear.

But I sincerely hope that you and Qingyun get married.

It is her biggest wish.

Also mine.

Do you understand?

Thank you, Sangyu.

I, too, wish you and Ning Yuxuan

an everlasting marriage.

It's late.

I'm going back to my room.

You should go to bed, too.

It has been

a long day for you.

Well, it hasn't been easy for you, either.

You had

to play a role in my show.

You scratch my back, I scratch yours.

Don't thank me.

There's something

that I think you should know.

What?

I think General Tao knows that I'm not Nie Sangyu.

How?

How did he find out?

I don't know.

But…

But the tone he talked to me with, the attitude he had,

the way he looked at me, it felt completely different.

I think he must have known something.

Do you think he…

General Tao and I have been friends for years.

He's a decent man.

I don't think he'll try to jeopardize us.

I hope so.

Anyway,

my identity has to be kept a secret.

It mustn't be disclosed.

Got it.

We will be very discreet.

I…

My Lady,

everything's packed.

OK.

I have kept a record of all the things that you did for me.

Blue bead.

You almost fully recovered.

Several days later, you will be able to move freely.

I tried many medications before,

but nothing worked so efficiently like this.

But you are not allowed to walk around at the moment.

Do you hear me?

Do you have anything to say to me?

Thank you for taking care of me

in the last couple of days.

I should be the one

who says thank you.

I'll be healed soon.

I…

I… You are going back to look after His Lordship?

Well, I'll redress your wound for the last time,

and then, you can go back to him.

But remember, you will need to change your dressings on time.

If you can't do it on your own,

just come to me anytime.

Miss Shui,

take this injury for example.

It's probable for me to lose my life anytime.

I…

I cannot provide you a steady life.

I know that.

But I don't care.

I don't care about your status, and neither do I

care about what a life you live.

All I care about

is if you love me.

Mr. Yuan.

Man.

Man.

How much did you drink?

Not much.

Come on.

Drink with me.

Stop drinking, please.

I'll pour you some tea.

No.

Drink this.

Man.

Do you know this? When you were little,

you were very naughty.

You would cry and make a scene all the time.

Mr. Cai would take you to me,

and I'd calm you down.

This is the funny part.

As soon as I held you in my arms,

and I would swing, swing, swing.

And you'd stop crying.

Just stop drinking.

Man,

would you forgive someone

after he made a mistake?

Can you tell me what's wrong with you?

Why do you get yourself so drunk?

What happened to you?

Just tell me, okay?

What is it?

Yes, there is something.

And I must

tell you about it.

It's been a lengthy torment.

The truth is…

What are you doing, Mr. Yuan?

What's the matter with you?

Just let me know.

I must let you know this tonight.

- My dad… - Man.

Man.

Dad.

You're here, too, Lang.

What?

You didn't invite me to drink with you.

Hi, Mr. Ji.

Oh, am I interrupting you? I'll…

If you need a chat, go on, then.

Mr. Yuan.

- Take it easy. Don't drink too much. - I…

What's the matter with him?

I don't know.

He's been acting like this for the past few days.

At a loss and in a trance.

I, too, have noticed that he's not being himself.

He keeps avoiding me.

Man, you are the one that concerns me.

Your identity is a large secret.

Ling Jianxing is on the watch.

He mustn't acquire any information.

Don't worry, Dad.

I will tread very lightly.

You have nailed all the ceramic kilns?

Yes, I have.

No matter what Nie Sangyu is capable of, it will not be possible

for her to gather so many bottles in such a short time.

So, she can make however much Feiwan Face Cream she wants,

but she will have no containers.

Good.

General Tao, please don't.

- You can't go in there. - General Tao.

Out of my way.

What an unsolicited visit.

What's the matter, General Tao?

I have something to say to you in private.

Will you ask them out or will I do it?

Nie Sangyu is dead.

That's not the real Mrs. Ning.

General Nie and Ning Yuxuan are working on a plan.

Tao Siwei, do you honestly think that you can fool me

with such absurdity?

Do you have any evidence?

If you don't believe me,

you can kidnap Mrs. Ning's servants and interrogate them.

She may wear a perfect disguise, but she has

to reveal her true colors to her close ones.

I will be expecting you.

Tao Siwei and Ning Yuxuan are really good mates.

Given that he just disclosed a major secret,

I suspect something happened between them.

He turned against Ning Yuxuan, I find it rather strange.

I will send my men to keep an eye out on them.

Do you believe what Tao Siwei said?

I do.

Why are you so sure?

I heard rumors when I was in Ning's Mansion.

They said Nie Sangyu had become a completely different person.

And for someone who grew up in a rich family, it's weird

that she personally makes face cream and opens up a shop to sell it.

It is not the first time I suspect that she is not

the real Nie Sangyu.

With Tao Siwei's information,

although I lack firm evidence, I still believe

that the person we're talking about now is not the real Nie Sangyu.

It's amazing that someone looks identical as Nie Sangyu.

Who is this "Nie Sangyu" then?

In this case,

Tao Siwei isn't lying.

I thought our plan worked out perfectly.

But Ning Yuxuan is unimaginably bold.

Too bad, Nie Xiangyuan has left Haifang to receive His Majesty.

Or else, I should really have a good conversation with him.

Other than Nie Xiangyuan,

there's another person that we can talk to.

Good to see you, Mr. Ling.

Here.

Drink some tea.

I have always admired you, sir.

I hope I'm not disturbing you, Guihai Warrior.

I'm only a minor merchant.

I wonder what's your visit about, Mr. Ling?

Here's the thing.

The reason why His Majesty chose

Haifang for the Imperial Supplier Contest is that he sees

its traffic advantage, and its position as a trading center.

You are a seasoned businessman and captain.

So I thought I could come

and ask you about your thoughts

on the contest.

Mr. Ling, I'm really flattered.

It is a big contest, and the participants are all elite businessmen.

Also, with you and Mr. Ning seeing to the event,

I don't think my thoughts matter.

Oh, right.

I have heard you have a daughter.

Why didn't she sign up for the contest?

You have experience and a whole fleet.

I believe she will win the first place.

I didn't expect my family business to draw your attention, Mr. Ling.

My daughter has a poor health.

She's now in recuperation at home in the south.

So I never bring her to any public places.

What illness is she stricken with?

I know many doctors in the capital.

Get her here, and I'll make sure she's cured.

I appreciate it, Mr. Ling.

But it's dry in the capital city,

it may not be an ideal environment for my daughter,

and it may worsen her condition.

I think it's best that she stays at home.

So you put more energy in your foster daughter.

I have heard that Nie Sangyu now calls you Godfather.

She's Ning Yuxuan's wife, and one of the contestants.

The citizens are talking about the possibility of nepotism,

and questioning the fairness of the contest.

Well, I can't deny that.

But Princess Ruyue participates in the contest

as a member of the royal family, do people not

question that?

Sir.

Sir, we need to ship the goods.

Mr. Ling,

I've got work to do.

I will visit you some other day.

Try this one.

Be sure to come again if you like it.

Alright, let me try it on you.

OK.

Here.

It smells so good.

Man.

Dad.

Come.

Very moist, right?

What's up?

What happened?

It's very unexpecting.

Your identity may have been disclosed.

What?

Today, Ling Jianxing came and visited me on Ship Guihai.

He started with the Imperial Supplier Contest,

but what he's really after is who you really are.

Ling Jianxing?

Yes.

How did he know that?

There's no point in finding out how he knew it.

Now that your disguise has been blown up, you

and everybody around you,

including Ning Yuxuan, will be in danger.

I know.

But what about my shop?

If I just… It's not important.

Nothing matters more than your life at the moment.

You leave tonight.

It's urgent.

You must leave tonight.

What is it?

Your Lordship,

you've been staring at the bead for the whole morning.

Her Ladyship has left.

I think you should just throw it away.

I know that you and Her Ladyship still miss each other.

No, I don't.

Your Lordship, I just… Your Lordship.

Your Lordship.

An emergency letter from Miss Sang Shen.

Let me see.

(Miss Ji's identity may have been exposed.)

(Her father will take)

(her to Yunzhou immediately.)

(Sang Shen.)

(Haifang Wharf)

Man, forgive me.

For you and Ning Yuxuan's safety, we must leave.

Trust me.

This is the best choice for both of you.

It is my fault.

You are not responsible

for the past.

I'm not leaving.

I will not leave.

I don't want to be separated from you ever again.

In the future,

no matter what kind of danger we'll encounter,

we will face it together.

And we will find a time to have a serious

conversation about the Tea Gang.

I always feel that something isn't quite right.

Not right?

Man.

Mr. Yuan, what are you doing here?

Man,

I thought you were leaving.

So I came to bid you farewell.

I'm not leaving.

In the future,

no matter what happens, I will face it together with him.

Man,

since you have made up your mind,

I respect your decision.

I'd like to talk to you about some old story of the Tea Gang.

Follow me.

The Tea Gang?

Let's go check it out.

Mr. Yuan,

you have finished the second bottle of wine.

Can you please

start talking now?

People say alcohol is the cure for all sorrows.

But how come it doesn't solve any of my problems?

Mr. Yuan, I have noticed that you've been in a trance these days.

Are you in trouble?

Just let us know.

We'll try and help you.

Is that okay?

No one understands me.

I am a complete joke.

Do you know this?

Ning Yuxuan,

you should've reconciled a long time ago.

I have been holding something back from you.

There's no feud

between you two.

It was my dad who caused the tragedy.

What do you mean?

Ning Yuxuan,

it wasn't Cai Wenzheng who murdered your dad.

It was my father, who disguised as Cai Wenzheng, that did it.

So I am your target.

If you wish to seek revenge,

come at me.

Mr. Yuan, get up.

Just get up, Mr. Yuan.

Kill me.

Get up.

Get up, now, Mr. Yuan.

Why do I tell you the truth?

Do you know?

I did it for Man.

I always thought that all the officials were arrogant and greedy,

that all they cared about is their own interest,

that they saw the civilians as dust.

Whether they offer amnesty

or implement a reform,

it's but a pretext to enslave the refugees.

You, however, are different.

You are competent, visionary, and wise.

You are capable of providing a good life for the citizens.

You are a good official.

Your dad

killed my father?

Yes.

And I'm the one who attempted to assassinate you

twice in the capital.

I am Lang.

I know that.

But as I watched you take the Dragon Gang on the right track,

I wanted to let you off.

But now you…

Why?

Ning Yuxuan, let him go.

Let him go, Ning Yuxuan.

We haven't found out about what actually happened,

just control yourself.

Don't act on impulse.

Mr. Yuan,

get up first.

Kill me.

Get up.

We haven't got to the bottom of it.

We must stay calm.

No matter what Yuan Dingshan did, Yuan Lang was no part of it.

Also,

the feud from the last generations has troubled you

for so many years.

Does it have to be passed on to our generation?
