[The Double]

[Episode 3]

Miss.

Tong.

Why are you here?

The person who sent me here

told me that Duke Su asked me to take care of you here.

How are you feeling, Miss?

Did Duke Su make things difficult for you?

I'm fine. Everything is well.

Miss, when I arrived just now,

I heard someone outside saying

that the Jiang family is going to have a second wife.

Does it mean that we can go home?

Tong.

There's something I have to tell you.

I still can't do anything

against those who killed Jiang Li.

I wonder if Li would have

a grudge against me if she knew.

She wouldn't.

Those who killed Lady Jiang

were those in the Jiang family who turned their back on her.

Returning to Jiang's Residence is like going into a tiger's den.

If others find out that I replaced Jiang Li to come here,

both of us will get killed.

Tong.

You've suffered enough at Zhennv Hall for so many years.

Now, you have the chance

not to go with me.

The world is big. You can choose your own path.

You don't have to risk your life to go back with me.

Tong.

Miss.

If Mrs. Ye

didn't take me in to work as Lady Jiang's maid,

I would've been sold to the brothel.

I swore that I would protect Lady Jiang with my life.

But I couldn't keep my promise.

If I don't do anything,

I'll be ashamed to face her in the afterlife.

As long as we can clear Lady Jiang's name,

you'll be my master from now on.

I will serve you forever.

I'll do anything for you.

Okay.

From now on, we'll go through thick and thin together.

Madam Ji.

Are you really going to take that girl back?

It wasn't easy to send her away.

If you take her back, it'll be...

You don't know anything.

Although His Majesty didn't say it outright,

for my husband,

it was a decree.

We have to take Jiang Li in.

[Madam Sun] It's bad enough that she'll be back.

But what was Duke Su thinking?

Why did he ask us to welcome her with the Duke's Residence procession?

It'll give her more power.

These clothes are made with high-quality fabric.

When you go and escort Jiang Li tomorrow,

bring these to her.

It's already unfair enough for us,

why do we have to give her such high-quality clothes?

She'll become arrogant.

Then it won't be easy to keep her control.

With the carriages of the Jiang family

and the Duke's Residence procession,

she'll live in a bubble of pride.

We need to make the bubble bigger

until it pops.

There's something that I'm concerned about.

It may just be a coincidence that Duke Su is involved in this.

But Mrs. Liu is not a fool.

It's not a coincidence

that the incident at Zhennv Hall

can make its way into the Imperial Court

through the Secretary of Finance.

The only one who knows

about Mrs. Liu and Ye Zhenzhen's relationship

and use that to make this happen is Jiang Li.

All these years,

Madam Jiang has never forgotten about that girl.

She keeps thinking and talking about her.

If she's actually that intelligent,

with Madam Jiang doting on her,

it'll be

hard for us.

I'll pay attention to that.

[Duke Su's Residence]

Madam Sun.

You are...

Jiang Li.

You are Jiang Li?

Perhaps you can't recognise me

because it has been so many years.

That's not true.

I just haven't seen you in a long time.

Besides, I heard that the Mistress of Zhennv Hall was taken away.

I'm worried that my eyes are bleary with age.

So, I have to look more carefully.

This.

This is the hairpin that my mother left behind for me.

Look at it carefully, Madam Sun.

Looks like Madam Sun is not just blearing with age,

but she also has a poor memory.

If mother and father don't want me back,

forget it.

Lady Jiang, please wait.

I've spoken out of line.

I should slap my mouth.

It's just because

I haven't seen you in a long time.

Please forgive me, Lady Jiang.

Madam Ji

missed you so much

because you had been away at Zhennv Hall for so long.

So, she kept urging Duke Su

to send you home.

Finally, not long ago,

Duke Su agreed.

And Madam Ji immediately asked someone to clean your room

and sent me

to escort you home personally.

If Madam Ji see

how beautiful you've become,

she'll be

so merry.

I'm really grateful to my mother.

I missed her a lot

the whole time I was at Zhennv Hall too.

I always felt regretful

that I couldn't stay by her side to take care of her.

But now, it's great.

I'm finally going home.

I'll be filial to her

just like how much she loves me.

That's great.

Bring it forward.

Look.

Madam Ji

specially asked me

to buy these new clothes for you.

She doesn't want you to feel uncomfortable in your old clothes.

Look.

They are made from high-quality fabric.

I think

you should change into them right now

so that you can look magnificent

to match your status.

Thank you, Madam Sun.

Tong.

Here you go.

Lady Jiang, after you.

As you said,

Madam Jiang dotes on Jiang Li the most.

So, Ji Shuran knows very well

that Madam Jiang is the only one we can rely on.

I'm sure she won't let us

build a good relationship with Madam Jiang.

Tong.

Do you know what taboos Madam Jiang has?

I remember that Master Jiang

once married a woman from the brothel.

That woman was haughty.

She loved luxurious dresses

and brocade was her favourite.

That kind of fabric is as expensive as gold.

She wasted a lot of money on clothes.

So, Madam Jiang hated her so much.

[Clear the Way]

[Qin's Father]

Duke Su, you arrested my son

without any valid reason.

Looks like you have no respect for this senior statesman

who has served two reigns.

He smuggled salt and stole from the national treasury.

I'm investigating these cases under His Majesty's order.

If he's guilty,

His Majesty will make the final decision.

If he's not guilty,

we can prove once and for all that he's innocent.

By saying that he was arrested for no valid reason,

I think it's too early

to make that call, Master Qin.

I'll give you a few more days, Duke Su.

If you can't find any evidence and still refuse to release him,

I'll seek justice for my son at the cost

of my status gained from serving my country and my life.

I believe

that someone as filial as His Majesty

will understand the love I have for my son.

Goodbye.

Mr. Qin still refuses to spill the beans.

Should we torture him?

Mr. Qin knows that his father will back him up.

Of course he won't admit to anything.

Are you worried that I can't get him to confess because I'm too lenient

or are you worried that his father

will take this up to His Majesty?

This is our job.

What do we have to be afraid of?

You are too reckless.

It is Second Lady Jiang's fault for leading us astray.

At first, I thought that we could

find the mastermind through her.

But now, we are stuck.

This is terrible.

[Benefiting the People]

[Clear the Way]

Looks like she's being taken home.

The Duke's Residence procession is indeed grand.

[Clear the Way]

My Lord,

Mr. Jiang

took his daughter back from Duke's Residence.

And you even gave her half of your procession.

We haven't found any evidence of his bribery.

I don't think we should waste time

watching this procession from the tea house.

Look.

I never thought that the flowers would bloom so early this year.

Yes.

Are you going to take them all?

Don't worry. I have money.

[Noble People, Prosperous Land]

My Lord.

Second Lady Li is quite interesting.

She tricked us so that she could return to the Jiang family.

Now that she's in the Jiang family's carriage,

she has forgotten all about you.

What is the meaning of that?

Five hits.

You want to beat me up again?

If she's the real Jiang Li,

I'll consider this half of my procession a gift for her.

Are you saying that...

Her identity seems suspicious.

And an important official is involved in this.

I need to get to the bottom of it.

Tell me.

Why does a troublesome person

want to enter

a troublesome place?

I don't believe in coincidence.

Regardless of her looks

or other things.

But now that she has returned to the Jiang family,

it'll be even harder to interrogate her after this.

We don't have to interrogate her.

It's better to let her go home and see what she's going to do.

Watch her closely.

Yes, My Lord.

What are you doing?

Madam Jiang gave me a reminder yesterday.

I haven't seen her for 10 years.

I should prepare a welcome gift for her.

Duke Su

is sending her back with his procession.

If I don't prepare something appropriate for her,

I'll be ridiculed by the people in this city.

This is a gift from His Majesty.

What do you think about this gift?

You love your precious jade.

But Li is just a kid.

She won't know how to appreciate it.

What about this Chinese calligraphy painting?

It's from a famous artist.

It's rare and precious.

Have you forgotten

that Li grew up at Zhennv Hall?

She hasn't been to school much.

She'll be sad if you give her this gift.

Take a rest.

I've overlooked this.

I've already prepared a gift for her.

I already asked someone to send her some clothes

made out of high-quality fabric.

I didn't even give some to Ruoyao although she loved them.

Li will come back well-dressed

and well-treated.

No one will say that she's ill-treated by the Jiang family.

Thank you for your effort.

I'll go and get changed first.

Is she not here yet?

[Jiang's Residence]

Yes. It has been so many years.

I wonder

how Second Lady Jiang looks.

She's just a bumpkin who lives in the mountains.

She can't possibly be pretty.

That's right.

Yes.

Let us welcome Second Lady Jiang back from her cultivation.

She's here.

[Clear the Way]

Start the music.

Is she Second Lady Jiang?

See?

I knew it.

She looks so tacky.

That's right.

You are right.

The Jiang family is a wealthy family.

Is this how they treat their own daughter?

Is she Li?

Li.

[Young Tong]

If you apologise to your mother,

you won't have to go to the mountain to repent.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Greetings, Father, Mother.

Rise.

Li.

Why are you wearing a dress from Zhennv Hall?

Didn't you send those new clothes to Li?

Madam Sun.

I asked you to send those new clothes to her, right?

I

already sent the clothes to Lady Jiang.

But when she heard that they were from you,

She...

Maybe she didn't like them.

Li, those clothes are a gift from your mother.

Why didn't you wear them?

Maybe Li didn't love those clothes

that I sent her.

She can go shopping tomorrow

and choose some new clothes herself.

Mother.

The clothes you gave me

are made out of high-quality brocade.

I love them and I'm grateful for them.

But...

But what?

But maybe it has been too long.

Mother has never visited me at Zhennv Hall.

She doesn't know my body measurements.

So, I couldn't fit into any of the clothes she gave me.

How could you be so careless?

My Lord, it was my fault.

Madam Ji did ask me to find out

Second Lady Jiang's

body measurement.

But I had overlooked it.

Please punish me.

Calm down, Master Jiang.

Maybe I'm too happy

that I've forgotten to monitor the tasks given to her.

Li, let's come in first.

Don't make your uncle and aunt wait for you.

Li, they are your uncles and aunts.

Uncle Jiang.

Aunt Lu.

He's your second uncle, Jiang Yuanping.

He's tall

and looks kind.

[Jiang Yuanping] Yuanbai's brother. The first wife's son.

[The Lu Family] Lu is the daughter of Chengwu Official.

Jiang Yuanping is famous for doting on his wife.

Back then, Madam Lu caught a cold during her postnatal care.

Now, she has a persisting headache.

He feels really guilty about it.

It's good that you are back.

I don't know what you like.

Please take this jade bead rosary as a gift.

Thank you, Aunt Lu.

Aunt Lu,

has your headache gotten better?

My headache is not that severe anymore.

Uncle Jiang has brought many physicians to treat me.

Now, I'm feeling better.

How kind of you to worry about me.

Li has always been very sensible.

I always held her when she was young.

And she was a good baby.

Now, she's already a young lady.

Uncle Jiang, Aunt Yang.

I've prepared a pair of pearl earrings for you.

Jiang Yuanxing. The third wife's son.

He has big eyes.

The son of the third wife.

[Jiang Yuanxing] He's not valued by the Jiang family.

He loves fishing.

[The Yang Family] Yang is the daughter of Xuande Official.

If it wasn't because she was getting old,

she wouldn't marry Jiang Yuanxing who works as a proofreader.

Do you like them?

Thank you, Aunt Yang.

Uncle Jiang, do you still go fishing?

When I went out to chop some wood,

I saw many lively fish in the river of Qingcheng Mountain.

The view was amazing too.

I haven't gone fishing in a long time.

Li is such a lovely child.

You are right.

She still thinks about us despite being away for so many years.

Brother, since all of us are here today,

let's have a reunion dinner tonight.

We can invite Madam Jiang too.

Okay.

Li has just returned.

I'm sure she's tired from her journey.

We can have dinner tomorrow.

Please be understanding

and let Li get some rest first.

You are right.

Am I right, Li?

As you wish, Mother.

Li has grown up a lot.

You've become more sensible now.

You are so considerate.

Li.

Let your mother take you to the backyard to take some rest.

Okay.

Let's go.

How difficult can it be

to have a reunion dinner?

Take a good rest, Li.

If you need anything, you can always come to me.

Li.

What's wrong?

I haven't been back in a long time.

Our residence has changed drastically.

I don't remember my way.

We've renovated the front yard and the backyard.

Come. Let me show you around.

Do you still remember this place?

It has changed.

Father.

Look.

I remember

that I cried in fear on that decorative rock.

I want my mother!

Mother!

Li.

Don't be afraid.

I'm here to save you.

After that,

you said something

that gave me the courage to jump down from there.

What did I say?

I forgot.

You said this.

Don't worry.

I will never let you get hurt.

I never thought that you would remember so many things

from your childhood.

I remember

that we used to love

sitting there and watch the moon together.

My grandmother loved sitting over there while watching a performance.

Yes.

Come to think of it, how's Grandmother?

She doted on me the most.

I'm unfilial.

I haven't been

taking care of you and Grandmother.

Your grandmother has always doted on you.

She won't blame you.

It was my fault for making a mistake.

If you didn't send me to Zhennv Hall,

I wouldn't have realised my wrongdoings.

Let bygones be bygones.

You have grown up now.

We need to look at the future.

Is Grandmother still mad at me?

Madam Jiang is a kind lady.

She won't blame you.

If you want to pay her a visit, you can just be frank with me.

You didn't have to torture yourself by talking about the past.

You made my heart bleed

when I heard those words from you.

At first, I wanted to let you rest because I worried

that you would be tired from your journey.

Since you can't wait to see Madam Jiang,

I'll go with you.

Mother, Li has returned.

[Madam Jiang]

Jiang Li has returned.

Madam Jiang was very kind to Jiang Li.

Jiang Li would get cold easily.

And she would be down with a fever and cough during winter.

When Madam Jiang found out,

she would personally cook pear soup for Jiang Li.

Greetings, Grandmother.

Let me take a good look at you.

Is she really Li?

Yes, Mother.

My child.

You've had it hard.

I've gotten older and less mobile now.

I could only send you some gifts

during the festivals.

But you only had Tong with you.

And she was still a child.

I wondered if she had taken good care

of those things I sent you.

If Madam Jiang really cared about Jiang Li,

had she received

anything from Madam Jiang in the past ten years?

We can't be sure.

Maybe she sent them.

But they were taken by others.

I've been living well

thanks to your care.

I regretted not being able

to see you and take care of you

by your side.

Since you are home now,

let's not talk about it anymore.

If you need anything after this

or if you want to eat anything,

you can come to me.

Thank you, Grandmother.

Madam Zhang.

Go and cook some pear soup for Li.

She loved it when she was young.

Yes, Madam Jiang.

Li.

Come.

Here.

Sit down.

Put this on.

No, Grandmother.

This is too valuable.

Take it.

- Here. - Grandmother.

I'll pay you back

for what I've owed you for 10 years.

Thank you, Grandmother.

You have cute hands

and a beautiful face.

She didn't look like this in the past.

She looks so different now.

Young Master.

Grandmother, I want to play.

Bingji.

He is...

You are the bad girl

[Jiang Bingji] who tried to kill my mother and brother.

I'll hit you! You are a bad girl!

Bingji.

- You are a bad girl! - Bingji.

Bingji.

Shut up.

This...

Bingji.

Why did you take Bingji here?

He woke up from his nap

and wanted to find his mother.

I couldn't stop him.

When have you

given birth to such a cute young boy?

You are so beautiful, Sister.

Mother.

I'm not your brother.

You are a murderer.

You killed my brother.

- Bingji, nonsense. - Nonsense.

I don't want the beautiful sister to be here.

Grandmother, I don't want her here!

Get up.

- I don't want her here. - Get up.

Grandmother, I don't want her here!

Grandmother, I don't want the beautiful sister to be here.

Bingji.

Get up.

He's such a young kid.

He wouldn't say this unless someone taught him what to say.

You are right to lecture me.

I've been busy

with Li's return

that I've overlooked Bingji's education.

It was my fault.

Maybe Young Master

heard the servants

gossiping about it.

Madam Jiang.

Please punish me.

Bingji is still young.

We just have to teach him better after this.

Today is Li's return.

Let's not punish the servants.

Jiang Li is back.

She came back in a grand manner.

But the family is in a mess.

This is unacceptable.

I might sound harsh.

But I wasn't blaming the child.

I just wanted to remind you

that no matter it's the adults or the young,

you need to educate the young carefully they that they won't develop bad habits.

That's the whole point

of this family reunion that you are showing me.

You are right.

Forget it. That's enough for today.

Okay. We'll let you rest now.

Madam Sun, take Li back to her room to rest.

Yes, My Lord.

This is your courtyard, Second Lady Jiang.

[Fangfei Garden]

Fangfei Garden.

This is fate.

This is the courtyard that you stayed at.

You still remember it, right?

Although

it looks a little bit shabby now.

We didn't dare to do anything to it

because you weren't back.

It'll look nice once it's cleaned up.

Your return is too sudden.

Too many things to do in a short time.

The servants don't have enough time

to clean the place too.

I think

we'll have to trouble you

to clean up the place yourself.

Isn't that

your preference too, Lady Li?

Here. Take a look.

What do you think? Do you like it?

If you don't,

I have to tell Madam Ji at once

so that she can switch you to a bigger courtyard.

Thank you, Madam Sun.

Although the yard is run-down and messy,

it'll be nice once it's all cleaned up.

I'll get going, then.

Okay.

Lady Li.

We have just arrived

and this is the courtyard they gave us.

You can report this to His Lord

to punish Madam Sun for her dereliction of duty.

If we don't like it, we can move to another courtyard.

If we report her but don't want to move to another courtyard,

isn't that unreasonable?

If we move to another courtyard,

it'll be set in stone

that we are picky.

No wonder.

Ji Shuran must have

asked someone to take Bingji there too.

No wonder

she would be so kind to let you meet Madam Jiang.

So, it was just a part of her plan.

Madam Jiang is sincere toward Jiang Li.

But she didn't stand up for Lady Li just now.

This courtyard is just a power display.

More will be coming.

I always fell sick when I was young.

Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Li were the ones who took care of me.

They refused to let me do anything

until I recovered.

Jiang Li and Mrs. Jiang were great people.

But after Mrs. Jiang passed away,

Jiang Li was tortured by them.

The Jiang family can never repay Jiang Li

for what was done to her.

Tong.

I'll take back everything that belongs to Jiang Li.

[Simple but Elegant]

Madam Ji.

I've sent Jiang Li to Fangfei Garden.

Anything that seems out of place?

Ever since the Duke's Residence

took her back,

she started plotting against us.

She lied, acted pitiful and pretended to be a good girl.

If you didn't plan it out beforehand,

we would've lost this round.

She's someone intelligent.

When Madam Jiang asked her if she had received her gifts,

she didn't reveal the truth.

She's good at bidding her time.

What's wrong?

Madam Ji.

Don't you think that Jiang Li

is too different from how she was 10 years ago?

Are you talking about her temperament

or her looks?

Jiang Li was very young when she left.

She looks somewhat similar to young Jiang Li.

But her temperament

has totally changed.

Be careful with your words.

[Simple but Elegant]

Don't say that

in front of my husband and Madam Jiang.

If others hear this,

they'll think that I'm not willing

to accept the daughter of the first wife of the Jiang family.

Since she dares return,

it means that she has come back fully prepared.

If she's the real Jiang Li,

I'll show her who's the mistress of the house.

If she's a fake Jiang Li,

she'll expose herself eventually

under my watch.

Then, we'll find out what motive is

when the time comes.

Send two maidservants to her tomorrow.

Remember

to serve her well.

Second Lady Jiang.

Madam Sun.

[Yunshuang, Xiangqiao] They are Xiangqiao and Yunshuang.

Lady Li.

Xiangqiao is...

- What do I say about you? - Smart and nimble.

She's smart and nimble.

Obedient and sensible.

Obedient and sensible.

Good.

Yunshuang is...

Introduce yourself. Hurry up.

I'm diligent.

Diligent.

Robust.

Robust. Good.

Lady Li, you are so beautiful.

Yes. She's beautiful.

Both of them

used to serve Madam Ji.

But since

you only have a maidservant with you,

It's too inappropriate.

So, she asked me

to send them here to serve you.

Please relay my thanks to Mother.

Second Lady Jiang, look.

These are the new clothes,

new jewellery

and the monthly allowance

that Madam Ji has prepared for you.

Please keep them well.

How kind my Mother is.

Put them at the back.

Xiangqiao, Yunshuang.

Serve Second Lady Jiang well.

With all your heart.

I'll get going now.

Okay.

Xiangqiao.

Go and wash the cups.

Okay.

How frightening! What should I do?

I broke them.

How could you break them?

My hands are calloused and rough.

I can only do some menial work.

I still need some time

to get used to skilled work like this.

Although your hands are calloused and rough,

this is not skilled work.

But you can't even do it.

If I say that this is menial work,

then it's menial work.

Menial work.

Tong.

Xiangqiao's hands are calloused and can only do menial work.

You'll take over this kind of skilled work after this.

Then you'll sweep the floor from now on.

The cups are shattered.

I need to go to the storehouse to replace them.

How could she be like that?

She was bullying us on purpose.

More like this will happen in the future.

Yunshuang.

Go and get some fertilizer.

They don't have it.

You haven't even asked.

How do you know they don't have it?

It's not something that's readily available.

No one is a foreseer.

They won't know that we'll need some fertilizer today.

We need to ask someone to come here

and list out what we need, right?

Then, they'll send someone to purchase what we need.

Go and do that, then.

Now?

I can't do that.

The housekeeper is definitely not in right now.

If I just go there like this,

I'll get hit 50 times.

I won't go.

How do you know she's not there if you don't go there and ask.

Forget it.

Tong, go and find the housekeeper yourself.

Okay.

My stomach is in pain.

I need to use the toilet.

This is so sweet. Give it a taste.

Is it sweet?

So sweet.

I want to see

if you can keep sitting there and do nothing.

Why can't we?

Second Lady Jiang says

that we can take a rest

whenever we are tired.

Are you tired?

I'm exhausted.

What about you?

Same.

Here. Eat this.

Don't worry.

I won't wash or touch the curtains

in these two buckets.

I'm going to show the Jiang family

how lazy their maidservants are.

I'll do it.

Lady Li, you can't do this.

I've worked the whole day.

But I'm not complaining about being tired.

She didn't throw a tantrum?

How obedient.

I also think that it's strange.

I even asked

those two maids to bully her more.

I never thought that Second Lady Jiang

would be able to take it.

Madam Ji,

should we bully her even more?

No.

Just ask someone to continue watching her.

Inform me at once if she makes a move.

Ruoyao's coming-of-age ceremony is just around the corner.

I don't want to spend so much energy on her.

If she keeps her head down,

I can let her live under the same roof.

But if she doesn't...

[Gazebo]

Miss.

Look at them. They don't act like maids at all.

Miss, you are Second Lady Jiang now.

You can punish them.

Are you done?

Another thing.

They are the ones

who caused trouble every time.

But I'm the one who had to clean up their mess.

Are you mad?

Of course I am.

They haven't been here long.

But they are already bullying us.

What should we do after this?

We are new here.

If I order the maids around

and punish them severely,

what will Old Madam Jiang and Jiang Yuanbai think of me

if they find out?

Are you saying that...

Think about it.

These two maids worked diligently for the family before this.

If they were punished after working for Fangfei Garden,

it would make me seem like a bully.

Once I'm labelled as a bully,

the guilt that Jiang Yuanbai feels

toward Li for letting her suffer 10 years on the mountain

will be erased by Li Shuran easily.

But we can't keep backing down, right?

I'm enduring it because I don't want to expose myself.

But you are an honest person.

So, it confuses them.

Miss,

have you

come up with a solution against them?

After cooperating with me for the past two days,

I've already figured them out.

We've given them plenty of chances.

- Here. Give me a hand. - Be careful.

Let's go.

Be careful.

Where should I put it?

Over here.

Okay.

Be careful of the steps.

Be careful.

Here.

Put it in front.

Put it here.

Put it over there.

Okay. I'll go there.

Take this.

Be careful.

What are you doing?

My Lord.

These are arranged by Madam Ji.

Third Lady's

coming-of-age ceremony is just around the corner.

We have to put one here.

Madam Ji.

On my way here,

I can see that the residence is being decorated.

You have worked hard.

That's just my duty.

This is the guest list for the coming-of-age ceremony.

Please take a look at it.

I'll leave it to you to make the decision.

What's wrong?

This is a major ceremony for Ruoyao.

We have to invite the Marquis of Ningyuan.

I'm not worried

about the Marquis of Ningyuan feeling offended.

After all, Li is our child.

She'll meet the public sooner or later.

I'm just afraid that she'll feel ill at ease.

She was engaged to Zhou Yanbang from the Marquis's Residence.

But due to the mistake she made,

we discussed with the marquis to switch her out with Ruoyao.

If Li sees Ruoyao and Yanbang together,

I'm afraid that she'll feel upset.

Moreover,

we are a prestigious family.

There'll be many officials

attending Ruoyao's coming-of-age ceremony.

If Li is there

and the incident with Madam Jiang that day repeats itself,

it'll be bad for her.

You are right.

If she can't handle the situation properly,

she'll be ridiculed.

We don't have to let Li attend the coming-of-age ceremony.

Let her get used to living in the capital city first.

Then, we'll find a chance to introduce her to the public.

Your wish is my command.

You've worked hard lately.

Let me give you a massage.

[Jiang's Residence]

Xiangqiao.

Come.

Only Xiangqiao has been summoned.

Go.

It's fine.

Xiangqiao.

Have a seat.

Tong.

Pour some tea for her.

Lady Li.

You are too kind.

You just have to give me your order.

I have

lectured Tong about it.

She grew up at Zhennv Hall with me since she was young.

So, she doesn't know the rules

and she doesn't know the ways of the world.

She's a straightforward person.

Please forgive her.

There's nothing to forgive.

We just want to serve you well.

We lived at Zhennv Hall for many years.

And we've just returned.

There are many rules that we don't know.

I hope that you can give us some guidance after this.

This...

Lady Li.

This is what Mother gave me when I just came back.

I have nowhere to wear it.

Do you like it?

Well...

If you like it,

you can take it.

Thank you, Lady Li.

I have something to ask you.

Lady Li.

What is it?

I saw many servants

moving around some potted plants.

The residence is bustling with life.

Are we going to have some important guests over?

Third Lady's coming-of-age ceremony is just around the corner.

Everyone is getting the residence ready for it.

I see.

Give me more tea.

Here.

I haven't been able to visit my grandmother.

I'm afraid that she'll get upset.

But I'm a bit bored staying here.

My yard looks nice

but it's a little bit empty.

Can you help me

get some potted plants to decorate it?

Although I can't help with my sister's ceremony,

I want to make my living quarters look livelier.

Lady Li.

Well...

I...

I know the rules of the residence.

If you can help me with this,

other than this hairpin,

more will be coming.

Just leave it to me.

Traitor.

Shameless woman.

Thank you, Lady Li.

Lady Li.

You are too generous.

The more they get from me, the better.

The coming-of-age ceremony

is just around the corner. But we are not informed about it.

Looks like I'm not invited.

Ji Shuran has a great plan instead.

She doesn't want me to get close to the Jiang family.

And she doesn't want the public to see me.

If I let her hide me in the dark,

it'll be pointless for me to return to the Jiang family.

And I'll always be the Second Lady Jiang that's surrounded by hateful rumors.

So, I have to attend this coming-of-age ceremony.

I want to let everyone in the capital city knows

that Jiang Li is the daughter of the first wife of the Jiang family/
