[The Double]

[Episode 15]

I came to ask you something.

Why? Do I know your lover?

Perhaps

I know your lover.

I didn't even know I had a lover.

The son of the magistrate of Huaixiang,

Xue Zhao.

I didn't expect Duke Su
to have such good manners.

What are you doing?

You've seen my body.

Can't I have a look at yours?

Rough and wild. I like it.

What did you just make me eat?

Nanjiang's poisonous insect.

Without the antidote,

your seven apertures will bleed
until you die within a month.

Who are you?

I am Zhao's friend,

Jiang Li.

Hold her down and take her
to the brothel to repay the debts.

Help!

Behave yourself!

Help!

Go!

Help!

Help!

Go!

Let go!

Abducting a woman in broad daylight.

Is there no law?

Who are you?

Mind your own business.
She owes me money.

I already told you

I'd pay you five silver liang
every month.

I won't renege on the debts.

Five silver liang?

Your father owed me fifty silver liang.

What if one day

you disappear like him?

Who can I ask for the money then?

Forcing a decent lady into prostitution
is against the law.

Moreover,
this lady said she would repay.

Why are you still forcing her?

Such a busybody.

Beat him up!

Do you admit your mistakes?

Yes. Yes.

She will repay you monthly from now on.

If you harass her again,

don't blame my fists
for being merciless.

Yes, yes, I'll listen to you.

Repay on time.

Let's go.

Are you alright?

I will never forget your great kindness.

Those people won't give up easily.

I will come to Luyang every five days.

If they dare cause trouble again,

I will drive them away for you.

I thought
he was just saying it casually.

Never did I expect

that he really came to see me
every five days.

Back then, before he came to Luyang,

he would always try on several outfits

until he was satisfied before leaving.

You seem to know him well.

Zhao's sister is my friend.

It was Zhao's sister who told me.

What are you carving? It looks so ugly.

Never mind, I'll carve another one.

So many?

Who are you carving this for?

You're putting in so much effort.

For my lover.

People usually carve the name
of the recipient.

Why are you carving your own name?

I'm carving my own name on this

so that when she sees it,
she'll think of me.

When we first met,

I was still a decent lady.

But now,

he must be very disappointed in me.

So he never sought me out again.

Life is unpredictable.

It's not that he doesn't want
to see you.

It's just

that he died.

Xue Zhao was killed by bandits

on his way to the capital.

His body was thrown into the river.

Not only that,

but three members of the Xue family,

his father

and his sister,

all died.

Zhao.

Within just half a year,

three members of the Xue family
met with misfortune.

There must be something unusual
behind this.

I came here this time
to investigate the truth.

I want to ask you if you know anything.

[Zhao]

This

was given to me by Zhao
the last time he saw me.

It originally had ten silver liang.

He said if the creditors came again,

I could use the silver to repay them.

But those people,

seeing that Zhao never showed up again,

became even more savage.

They didn't care about the money.

Have you seen this before?

See if you recognize it.

[Mining area, landslide, steep path,
narrow and rugged road]

This was hidden among the silver
by Zhao.

I don't understand the drawing on it,

but I recognize the handwriting.

It's Zhao's.

I've been keeping it to myself.

[Mining area, landslide, steep path]
I've never shown it to anyone.

Since it was left to you by him,

keep it safe.

My Lady,

is there anything I can do to help?

This Xihua Brothel

is Luyang's most flourishing brothel.

You can inquire about Luyang's matters
more easily than I can.

I'd like to ask you to help me inquire

how the magistrate of Huaixiang,
Xue Huaiyuan,

died six months ago,

who handled his funeral,
and where he was buried.

This would fulfill my obligations
to the Xue family.

[Zhao]

This is what I owe Zhao.

I will help you.

Then I will await your good news.

My Lady,

where

is Zhao buried?

The Xue family's cenotaph.

In the capital.

He and his sister will go back
to their hometown.

I will make sure they reunite again.

I'll give you two options.

One, go and tell Chu Lan.

Two, join forces with me.

Join forces?

Bring down Chu Lan,
and I'll give you the antidote.

You're more interesting than Chu Lan.

If I help you bring him down,

will you visit often?

It depends on your performance.

Duke Su?

Why are you here?

To investigate a case.

What a coincidence.

I came to Luyang, and you also came
to Luyang to investigate.

Why? Are you going to say
I'm stalking you again?

You were in such a hurry
that you dropped something.

Such an exquisite jade pendant.
You might as well give it to me.

It looks like I misunderstood.

You are indeed here for the case.

I won't disturb you.

I'll be going now.

Li.

It seems you don't want to cooperate.

It's normal
for a young lady to be jealous.

Just explain it to her clearly.

Jealous?

I'll let you off this time.

If you do this again,

I won't mind finding someone else
to cooperate with.

Miss, I was just wandering around
at the front door,

and I saw Duke Su here too.

What he does is none of my business.

My Lady, these are the accounts
for this month.

No need to calculate.
They're all in my head.

Lizheng Hall sold 921 bolts of fabrics
this month,

[Ye Jia'er]
totaling 1,353 silver liang.

Revenue is up 10% from last month.

It's good if you look
at the accounts alone.

But as the cold autumn begins,

people are buying new clothes.

Autumn clothes are much more expensive
than summer ones.

So looking at the overall accounts,

we are actually running a deficit
this month.

My Lady, stop calculating.

Madam is still waiting for you
in the room.

Let's go!

Mother, I'm back!

Madam!

- Just let me die!
- Mother!

What's wrong now?

Madam Li!

My Lady,

Master Ye came back

with a little vixen this time.

- I don't want to live anymore!
- Madam!

My dear, I'm back!

Madam Li, take good care of my mother.

I'm going to ask my father about this.

Little vixen!

Madam.

Madam!

Father,

what's wrong with you?

What do you mean?

Little vixen!

What little vixen?

You brought her back,
and you're asking me?

Me?

I brought her back?

Little vixen?

Are you talking about Li?

Look.

You're calling her so affectionately,

and you still say
she's not a little vixen?

The one you're calling a little vixen

is our relative.

Li, from the Jiang family
in the capital.

The one who looked down on the Ye family
for being merchants?

Father, our family is already a mess.

Why did you bring
such a big trouble back?

Watch your words.

She's now
the Grand Chancellor's daughter

and also your cousin.

That little vixen has entered the doors
of our Ye family.

You say...

Father,

you'd better solve
the current trouble first.

Let me die!

The moment that little vixen

steps into the Ye family's doors,

there will be no peace in the Ye family.

Madam, you cannot die.

- Let me die!
- Madam.

If the little vixen is in this family,
there won't be me.

If I'm here, there won't be room
for that little vixen.

I'll go with you
to see the King of Hell.

Why are you messing around?

I don't want to live anymore!

My dear.

Even if you die,

we still need to make things clear.

Madam Li, I don't want to live anymore!

Shut up!

The person that you are talking about

is not a little vixen.

That's our niece, Jiang Li.

Help!

My dear!

- My dear!
- Mother!

My dear!

As Shijie becomes a serving officer
in the Ministry of Revenue,

she eagerly comes to us.

Father, you too.

Why did you have to bring her back?

You're always blabbering.

Even when Shijie
has become the serving officer,

the Jiang family

doesn't need to curry favor with us.

Furthermore,

your cousin said
she wanted to come with me.

Could I stop her from coming?

I don't even consider her my cousin.

Let's leave it at that for now.

Let's see how it goes.

There's been a lot going on
at home lately,

and the shop isn't peaceful either.

Old Madam is having a headache

over business matters.

If she finds out that Li is here,

she might make a big scene.

Let's handle the business matters first.

[Bingde Hall]

We'll slowly break it to Old Madam,

so as not to shock her.

But we can't just leave her
like this either.

One person in our family should step up

to properly entertain Jiang Li tomorrow.

Otherwise, it'll seem like our family

has no manners,

making us a joke to the Jiang family.

Who will go?

Why are you looking at me?

I just had a disagreement with her.

Anyone can go, but not me.

Don't look at me.

I have to go to the shop tomorrow.

I don't have time.

Why are you all looking at me?

I've been the one
entertaining Jiang Li all along.

You never show up,

making it look like the Ye family

doesn't welcome her.

Why don't we follow
our family's old tradition?

Let's draw lots.

There are three paper balls,
and only one has "yes" on it.

Whoever draws it will go.

I'm not drawing.

My dear first.

Jia'er is the youngest, Jia'er first.

I already said I'm not drawing.

Draw one, draw one.

Draw one.

Thank you, Jia'er.
Take a day off tomorrow.

Quickly tell the coachman
to prepare the carriage.

Yes.

Remember to tell the kitchen
to prepare some snacks for the ride.

Yes.

And is the warm water
for washing the face ready?

- Yes.
- What about the clothes and jewelry?

They're ready.

Rouge.

Tong?

Tong!

Miss, you're awake?

It's so early in the morning.
Who's talking outside?

Miss, it's Lady Jia'er.

Lady Jia'er got up early

and invited us to go out to play.

Go out to play?

So early?

Miss, after yesterday's matters,

you didn't get enough rest.

Should I go and reject now,

so we can sleep a bit more?

She was kind enough to arrange it.

We can't reject her.

It's for fun anyway.

Let's go. Help me freshen up.

Not up yet? Fine.

We've been waking her up
a long time in advance.

You got up late.

More people
will help you freshen up faster.

Jia'er.

Today, we'll go
to Baizhang Mountain first.

Then, we'll go to Sijing Lake.

At noon, we'll eat
Juewei Restaurant's specialties.

In the afternoon,
we'll watch a magic show at Bai House

and see monkeys at Miao Garden.

In the evening, we'll go boating
on Liangshui River.

Jia'er, there's no need
to visit so many places.

We can have more time to spare.

These are all must-go places in Luyang.

As long as you stick to the schedule,

we'll be able to complete it.

I can't spare two days to accompany you.

Jia'er, I know you're entrusted
by your family.

You're worried I'd feel unwelcome,
so you want to take me everywhere.

Actually, I'm tired
from the previous journey

and don't feel like going out.

What do you mean?

You're not happy with my plans?

If you don't like it, we can change it.

How about this?

I'll tell Second Uncle and Second Aunt

that you've shown me

all the scenic spots
and delicacies of Luyang.

That way,
you won't have to work so hard,

and we won't waste time.

How about that?

Since you're so open with me,

I'll be straightforward.

You're the one
who said you don't want to go,

not because I'm not being a good host.

You've put in a lot of effort.
You are definitely a great host.

You should have said so earlier.

I have a lot of issues at the shop

that need my attention.

The carriage is ready for you.

You can go wherever you want
during the day

and come back in the evening.

Jia'er.

I want to visit our family's shop.

I didn't bring many clothes with me.

I'd like to make some new ones.

Don't you know it's still dark?

Don't you know the shop isn't open yet?

We'll leave in two hours.

Let's go.

[Lizheng Hall]

Third Master,
this money can't be given to you.

Third Master,

all the money in the shop
has to be accounted for.

If you want to withdraw it,

you must have a receipt stamped
by my master.

That's the rule.

Last time, there was no such rule.

[Ye Mingyu]
This time, there is.

Are you making rules for me?

Third Uncle?

Third Uncle?

Third Master, you can't do this.

Third Master, you can't do this.

Jia'er,

what's the matter with him?

I bet he got into a business deal again

and lost all his money.

Now, he's here to borrow money.

You wait here for a moment.

Come over after I've sorted this out.

I can't...

Third Uncle, you're not coming home
after you're back in Luyang.

What are you doing here?

Lady Jia'er, you're finally here.

Jia'er.

You came just in time.

Quick, give me some money.

I have a business deal,

and I'm just left
with the final payment.

How much do you need?

Just a few thousand silver liang
should do.

What kind of business deal is it?

You wouldn't get it even if I told you.
Just give me the money.

When I make money,
I'll return more to you.

Third Uncle, I don't want to be saddled
with bad debts.

You've really grown some guts.

[Gauze fabric, plain brocade for robes]
You little brat.

You've made some money in business,

and you don't recognize me anymore.

Cut the crap and just give me the money.

No way.

Third Uncle, it's not hard to borrow
after you've repaid the money.

I'll lend it to you after you've cleared
your previous debts.

Otherwise, you'd better find my father.

You've really grown bold,

using your father to pressure me.

Don't blame me
for not being polite today.

If you don't give me the money today,
I'm not leaving.

That's right, we're not leaving.

Third Master.

What? Are you going to hit me?

Try hitting me.

I wouldn't dare.

Get lost.

I am your third uncle.

Do you believe
I'll go to your grandmother

and make you suffer?

Third Uncle.

Lizheng Hall's accounts are managed
by my cousin now.

Don't make things difficult for her.

Third Uncle?

How am I your uncle?

Go away.

Third Uncle, I'm Jiang Li.

My mother is Ye Zhenzhen.

[Bingde Hall]

[Young Ye Mingyu]
You have never left home before.

You must learn
to protect yourself outside.

You are always my hero.

You will protect me.

Zhen, you must be happy.

I am very happy.

Mother, I beg you!

Please let me go to the Jiang family

to bring Zhen and Li back.

Zhen was most afraid of being alone
when she was alive.

I can't let her leave

all alone.

Mother!

[Bingde Hall]
She has married into the Jiang family.

She was a member of the Jiang family
when she was alive,

and she will be the Jiang family's ghost
after dying.

Mother!

[Bingde Hall]

This...

Li?

Yes.

When did you come to Luyang?

I came two days ago with Second Uncle.

I'm free today,
so I came to take a look at the shop.

Have you been well these years?

It's a long story.

Third Uncle, why don't we go home
and talk in detail?

Forget it!

Forget it?

Forget it!

Today, on account of your mother,

I don't want the money anymore.

Shun,

let's go.

We're leaving just like that?

Just go.

Li, don't you want
to have some clothes made?

Come, take a look
and see if there's anything you like.

Second Lady Jiang,
these are the new fabrics

from our shop.

The quality is excellent.

The colors are the most fashionable too.

Mr. Qian!

Mr. Qian! I want a refund.

Uncle Zhao.

What did you just say? Refund?

This matter cannot be delayed
any longer.

Since your father is not here,

I'll talk to you first.

Li, I have something to discuss
with Uncle Zhao.

Tell the shop manager
to pack up any fabrics you like

and charge it to me.

Jia'er, go ahead.

This way, please.

Alright.

[Ye's Residence]

Miss, do you have something
on your mind?

I keep feeling
that the Ye family is in trouble.

And this trouble is not small.

[Bingde Hall]
Ye Mingyu, that scoundrel!

What has he become
after a few years outside?

A bandit!

Tell me, which shops did he go to?

I don't know.

You!

This Mingyu!

Li is back.

Second Uncle.

Li, why did you come back alone?

Didn't Jia'er accompany you?

Jia'er arranged everything very well.

I had a lot of fun today.

She went to handle some matters
at the shop.

That's why I came back alone.

That's good.

Second Uncle.

Is there something wrong

with the family's business?

This...

Mingxuan.

My dear.

Governor Tong has sent people here.

Governor Tong?

Why did he send people here?

I don't know either.

Official Zhu,

what brings you here this time?

[Official Zhu]
Mr. Ye, Governor Tong asked for you.

Where to?

What crime has he committed?

Why only him?

What is this about?

Madam, you have quite a temper.

I'm just doing my job.

Please let Mr. Ye discuss these matters

with Governor Tong.

You!

Our business is clean.

A clean hand wants no washing.

I will go with them.

Official Zhu, could you wait a moment?

Let me tell my family a few things.

Li, I originally planned

to take you to see your grandmother
these few days.

I didn't expect these issues to arise.

You will have to wait a little longer.

Second Uncle,
take care of your matters first.

My dear, while I'm away,

please take care of the household.

If anything comes up at Lizheng Hall,

let our Jia'er handle it.

This is a good opportunity

for her to gain experience.

As for Mother,

don't tell her for now

about me meeting Governor Tong.

Remember that.

Official Zhu,

when can Mingxuan return?

You would have to ask Governor Tong.

Mr. Ye, let's go if you're done.

Chu Lan will enter Luyang in seven days.
Be ready.

Feed me.

You don't want it?

Then throw it away.

When you have time,
come to Xihua Brothel.

I'll set a time aside for you.

My Lord, you were handling your matters,

but why did you also flirt around?

It's not easy to clear the debt of love.

Shut up.

My Lord,
Tong Zhiyang has already taken action.

That's a bit early.

He sent people

straight to the Ye family's front hall
and made an arrest.

The commotion was big.

The Ye family can't hide it now,
even if they want to.

I reckon the whole of Luyang knows
about it.

It's for the Li family to see.

Naturally, the commotion can't be small.

I heard Second Lady Jiang
was also present at the time,

but she didn't do anything.

This time,

could it be
that the Li family is going to succeed?

You never learn your lesson.

Why do you still dare
to underestimate her?

I already dare not underestimate her.

It's just that once the word
of the Soochow brocades

being problematic spreads,

Lizheng Hall will be in jeopardy.

Now that Ye Mingxuan is away,

the Ye family only has a few women left.

The Li family can swallow them up
in one mouth.

My Lord, should we intervene now?

Don't treat people like fools.

This show isn't over yet.

Don't draw conclusions too early.

Keep watching the Ye family.

Yes.

Tong,

help me get a cup of strong tea.

Miss, it's so late now.

Drinking too much strong tea is harmful.

You woke up so early this morning.

Li, you should go back to your room
and rest.

Don't stay up here with us.

If we don't get news tonight,

I won't be able to sleep either.

I'm afraid that in the end,

it will be the worst outcome.

Madam.

What did they say?

I didn't even get
to see Governor Tong's face.

I thought of using money
to bribe those officials,

but no one dared to accept it.

This is absurd!

Even a murderer has a three-court trial.

A Ye family member was arrested,

and there's not even an explanation.

I...

Mother, what are you doing?

I'll hang myself
at the governor's door.

Don't make it worse.

Don't make it worse!

I'll see if they still dare
to be so arrogant!

Second Aunt, don't be anxious.

Second Uncle should still be safe
for now.

They caused such a big scene today

by coming and arresting someone.

After taking Second Uncle away,
they didn't hold a trial,

and no official documents were announced
to the public.

I guess

Tong Zhiyang and his people are waiting
for the highest offer.

The highest offer?

But didn't they refuse our money?

It's like doing business.
Both sides set prices.

Then negotiate.

There's a bargaining process
in the middle.

This time, someone is the product,
and they are waiting for an offer.

But they refused to set the price.

They are waiting for us
to offer everything we have.

How dare he? He...

Mother,

hear Jiang Li out first.

What Second Aunt said is valid.

Although Tong Zhiyang is the governor,

the Ye family

is not insignificant in Luyang.

One, there is no evidence.

Two, there are no official documents.

He arrested the head of the Ye family
just like that.

Doesn't Tong Zhiyang fear
being reported to the capital?

Li, you mean...

I'm afraid he is just a middleman.

There are others behind him
giving orders.

Luyang's governor
has become a middleman?

What a sin!

We are honest businessmen.

Which powerful person have we offended?

You haven't offended anyone in business.

But that may not be the case
in other areas.

You mean...

To be honest, in the capital,

Shijie once refused
to pledge allegiance to someone.

Pledge allegiance?

Yes.

The Grand Chancellor, Li Zhongnan,
has a son named Li Lian.

He and Shijie were classmates
at the Imperial Academy.

He did not hesitate to set Shijie up

to achieve his goal of winning him over.

After Shijie saw through it,
they broke off relations.

That shouldn't be it.

That is just a small matter.

This...

There is no small matter in officialdom.

So, you mean

they're using the Ye family
to threaten Shijie?

This is just my guess for now.

But before the people behind it

reveal their true intentions,

Second Uncle will be fine.

Then...

Then isn't Shijie in great danger?

Shijie just got appointed in the capital

to become an official by the Emperor.

And with the marital ties
with the Jiang family,

others won't be able to harm him easily.

We mustn't lose our composure.

Perhaps they want us

to make a mistake due to panic.

Hearing you say that,

I am much relieved.

Then let's wait.

Wait for Tong Zhiyang to make a move.

Second Aunt, what happened
to the Soochow brocades?

I've been thinking about it,

and I fear
this issue has been exploited.

The Soochow brocades are woven
by the Ye family's weaving house.

These are all the samples produced
by the weaving house

in the past three months.

I've checked them thoroughly,
and there were no problems.

Out of nowhere, there's a rumor

that the Soochow brocades caused deaths.

The rumor spread
like wildfire overnight.

The fabric shops and garment shops
in Luyang

all don't want them anymore.

They want to be refunded.

Now that I think about it,

this has been a setup
since the rumor started.

Have you investigated

whether the Soochow brocades
really caused deaths?

It's easy to spread rumors,
but hard to dispel them.

After the rumor started,

Father sent a lot of people

to investigate it.

We didn't find any dead people,

but we did find a batch

of problematic Soochow brocades.

Everyone who came into contact
with this batch of fabrics

has developed red rashes
all over their bodies.

Now we don't know whether this rumor

is true or false.

Then let's go together

to check this batch
of problematic fabrics

tomorrow morning.

Li.

If it weren't for you
stabilizing the situation today,

the Ye family
might have fallen into chaos.

Although I am skilled in business,

I don't understand
these political intrigues.

It's also thanks to you
for calming my mother.

I am the niece of the Ye family.

These are all things I should do.

I'm being so polite to you.

It's making me seem pretentious.

But I am still very worried.

Worried about what?

I'm afraid this is just the beginning.

If the people behind this

don't achieve their goals this time,

does it mean

that the Ye family will never have peace
from now on?

Why should we let them succeed?

Didn't you say that in officialdom...

Did they study hard for years
to become officials

and rise up the ranks

just to oppress civilians
with their power?

They will not stop

because of your concessions.

They will only push further
without mercy.

The ancestors of the Ye family
have braved hardships

to achieve wealth in Luyang today.

If even you give in this time,

in the future, not only the Ye family

but many others will suffer.

You're right.

Back then,
I almost died in Zhennyu Hall.

But I survived.

Since I could come back alive,

the Ye family will definitely be fine.

Li.

[Bingde Hall]

Why haven't I seen Second Aunt?

My mother went
to take care of Grandmother.

Now everyone in the family

is hiding it from Grandmother.

I don't know how long
we can keep it from her.

Don't worry.

Today, we will get to the bottom
of the issue of Soochow brocades.

My Lady, it's bad!

Lizheng Hall has been smashed.

Smashed?

Those people came in
and started smashing things.

Even the signboard
of Lizheng Hall was destroyed.

My nose was hit and got crooked.

How will I find a wife in the future?

My Lady, please go and take a look.

How many people came?

At least several dozen people

surrounded the entire Lizheng Hall.

They said

that the Soochow brocades
we sold previously

are still causing harm.

Li, you wait at home. I will go and see.

Let's go together
and think of a solution.

My Lord is indeed amazing.

Li Jing is inside.

He still likes to sit in the tea house

and watch his own bad shows.

Then we...

Are you Duke Su?

There's a Mr. Li in the private room

who wants to see you inside for a chat.

He said if you are coming to see him,
you should do so openly.

Why do you need to send someone
to spy sneakily?

Who are you calling sneaky?

Lead the way.

This way.

Mr. Li.

I didn't expect to meet you in Luyang.

What a coincidence.

I did expect to meet you in Luyang.

A good tea matches a good show.

Thank you, Mr. Li.

So Mr. Li invited me here

to watch people smash Lizheng Hall?

You think too much.
We're just having tea.

Stop!

We haven't encountered this before!

Stop it!

I know her! She is Lady Ye!

Shop Manager.

My Lady, you are here.

It's been tough on you.

Go inside and tend to your injuries.

But there are so many people.

It's okay. I've got this. Fu.

Let's go, Shop Manager.

Someone in charge has come.

Don't leave!

Don't go!

I am Ye Jia'er,
the person-in-charge of Lizheng Hall.

If you have anything to say,

we can sit down
and talk about it nicely.

The Ye family
will give everyone an explanation.

To hell with your explanation!

The Ye family's fabrics
has turned into shrouds!

That's right! You've caused deaths.

And you still dare
to earn Luyang people's money?

I think you're earning
black-hearted money

and borrowing blood money!

Yes!

Black-hearted money!

Everyone!

Everyone!

I don't know where this idea
that the Soochow brocades cause deaths

came from.

But the Ye family

has been doing business in Luyang
for many years.

Our reputation is well-known.

We can't bear such a grave accusation

of causing deaths for profits.

Please give us some time to investigate.

Liar! The Ye family are liars!

Pay with your lives!

Murderers should pay with their lives!

Great! Help's on the way.

I'm afraid not.

The district defender is here.

Take her away.

Why are you arresting me?

Why are you arresting me
and not the troublemakers?

We received a report

that Lizheng Hall sold inferior fabrics,

which caused deaths.

Aren't you the one in charge?

Come with us.

Yes, arrest her!

Lizheng Hall's fabrics caused deaths!

Shouldn't she be arrested?

Arrest her!

Arrest her! Arrest her!

May I ask everyone

who told you
that the Ye family's Soochow brocades

have problems?

Look at what you're saying.

Who doesn't know about the problems

with Lizheng Hall's Soochow brocades?

Look at me.

Come, take a look!

Come and look!

I've got rashes all over my body.

Look, everyone!

Li, you...

What are you doing?

Hold it.

Tong.

Everyone, take a look.

The clothes I'm wearing

are from Lizheng Hall.

They were given to me
by Ms. Ye yesterday.

They were also made
from Soochow brocades.

But I wore them all day,

and I haven't developed any rashes
like you have.

Don't believe me?

Fine. If you don't believe me,

these ladies can pass it around
and see for yourselves.

Here, take a look.

Is it? Is it?

This...

It is indeed the Soochow brocade
from the shop.

If the Soochow brocades
really had a problem,

wouldn't I be seeking my own death
by wearing them?

What's impossible about that?

You're a shill for the Ye family.

You took the Ye family's money
to put on an act.

Your life is worth nothing!

You got it wrong.

My life is worth more
than the entire Lizheng Hall.

Boasting so shamelessly.

Who are you?

I am the daughter
of Great Yan's Secretariat Director

and His Majesty's Grand Preceptor,

Jiang Li.

Jiang Li?

I didn't expect that Second Lady Jiang

would reveal her identity

to stand up for the Ye family.

Isn't she afraid of being accused
of shielding the Ye family?

Mr. Li,

the best part of the show
is yet to come.
