[The Double]

[Episode 24]

I've heard that Mr. Shen's wife

was the most talented woman
in Huaixiang.

I was curious and checked her out.

Sure enough,

Mrs. Shen was uniquely beautiful.

She was a rare beauty.

So I was shocked

when I saw Second Lady Jiang

because she looked
exactly like Xue Fangfei.

Your Majesty,

have you ever heard

of two people who are not related

but look exactly alike?

If there's a coincidence
that three members of a family

were killed at the same time,

it's not much of a coincidence
that two people look the same.

I just feel sorry for Second Lady Jiang,

who lived in Zhennyu Hall for ten years,

and was about to return
to Jiang's Residence,

but was brutally murdered by someone.

I'm afraid even Second Lady Jiang's father,
the Secretariat Director,

has been in the dark.

Your Highness,

what do you mean by saying that?

Please make it clear.

How could a woman
who had spent ten years

in Zhennyu Hall
since she was eight years old

without being taught

outperform the noble descendants
of the capital

and take the first place
in the Entry Exam?

There are so many
miserable people in the world.

Why did Second Lady Jiang try to

save Xue Huaiyuan at all costs?

The only explanation

for all this

is that you're not Jiang Li,

you're Xue Fangfei.

That's an offense
of deceiving His Majesty.

Yes.

It's an offense
of deceiving His Majesty.

It's a serious offense.

Yes, how dare she deceive His Majesty?

Your Highness,

if I'm the Xue Fangfei you say I am,

how could the people of Huaixiang
who followed me to the capital

not know?

Xue Fangfei grew up in Huaixiang,

so they'd recognise her.

Your Highness
can send someone to find out

if I'm Xue Fangfei or Jiang Li.

Those who went to the capital
with you to present a complaint

must have conspired with you in advance.

If you don't mind me torturing them,

I'll give it a try.

Those who dared to enter the capital
to present a complaint

are those who disregard life and death.

Do Your Highness

want them to suffer again?

Look at this, everyone.

She's still protecting
the people of Huaixiang.

Your Majesty,

the people of Huaixiang and I

have gone to great lengths

to save a good official from injustice.

I don't know how my looks

have offended Eldest Princess.

She is so pushy

to use a dead man

to get rid of me.

Second Lady Jiang, you're really good

at making counter-charge.

But I'm not interested
in your life and death.

I just feel bad
for Secretariat Director,

Official Ye,

[Prosperous Era]
and those who were fooled

by you.

Especially His Majesty.

It's touching to see such compassion

towards a good official.

It's a pity that in the end,

he's just being used.

Xue Huaiyuan's case
has just been cleared up.

Everything I said is true.

I wonder
how Eldest Princess got the idea

that the official was being used

or

where she heard

such a ridiculous claim
that I was Xue Fangfei.

Easy.

I'll let you meet
your old acquaintance in a minute.

Secretary of Judicial Review,

summon my witness.

Summon the witness.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

Who is this?

This is Shouzhen,
the head of Zhennyu Hall,

where Second Lady Jiang
had been staying for 10 years.

Although Shouzhen's adultery
was severely punished by His Majesty,

Second Lady Jiang's deception

is still a big deal.

That's why I

got Shouzhen out of jail.

And I found out something interesting
when I got her out.

I wonder who's behind this,

keeping Shouzhen

a thousand miles away in Huicheng.

I've made

a lot of effort to find her.

But there's no rush.

We can look into it later.

Identifying the person
is the most important thing now.

Shouzhen,

look carefully,

is this person Jiang Li?

Your Majesty,

she is not Jiang Li.

Look carefully.

If you talk nonsense,

I'll cut out your tongue.

I watched Jiang Li grow up

from the age of eight to eighteen.

I'd recognise her
even if she turned into ashes.

She

is not Jiang Li.

[Prosperous Era]

If it's true what you say,

where's Jiang Li?

We'll have to ask Madam Xue about it.

Mistress,

you say I'm not Jiang Li.

So where's the real Jiang Li?

She was killed

by you.

Okay.

If you say

I killed the real Jiang Li,

how did I kill her?

And where is her body?

You killed her.

You'd already disposed of her body.

Of course I don't know.

When Mrs. Liu went to Zhennyu Hall,

I was the one who met her.

Why didn't you expose me?

I was confused

because you offered

to help clear my name when you became

Second Lady Jiang

so I helped you to cover up the lie.

So this is why

you came to slander my identity?

What?

I slander you?

You're really good
at making counter-charge.

Your Majesty,

[Prosperous Era]

This head of Zhennyu Hall
is morally unsound

and committed adultery,

so such a person's words
are not to be trusted.

Now she must have been bribed by someone

to exonerate her

by slandering me.

I beg Your Majesty to look into this.

That's not the case.

I'm telling the truth.

You're not...

Firstly,

you can't tell me how I killed Jiang Li.

Secondly,

you can't tell
where the real Jiang Li is now.

On what grounds
can you slander my identity?

Moreover,

Zhennyu Hall is very strict.

How can a living person
be replaced just like that?

Besides,

my maid, Tong,

grew up with me.

Are you saying she was replaced, too?

That's because you're in cahoots!

My father knew Tong's loyalty

to me.

She gave up her future
in the Jiang family

and followed me
to Zhennyu Hall to suffer.

If I'm an impostor,

how can she let me go?

Shouzhen, let me remind you.

No matter who ordered you to slander me,

you must remember

that whether you succeed or not,

you will not end up well.

You speak up in front
of His Majesty today.

If you make it,

you're just a pawn.

If you don't,

you're still a pawn.

You'll be gotten rid of.

So the only way to turn back

is to get your head on straight

and distinguish right
from wrong earlier.

Madam Xue, you're so eloquent.

You're making a lie
sound like the truth.

Looks like Eldest Princess

won't believe the truth I say today.

In fact,
besides the head of Zhennyu Hall,

there are other people who can prove

that I am the real Jiang Li.

Who?

Why don't we ask them
to come and find out?

My men have sent word

that the head of Zhennyu Hall,
who was imprisoned in Huicheng,

has been brought out.

Looks like someone
is up to no good today.

Thank you for notifying me, Duke Su.

Have you thought about what to do?

I don't have anyone to use.

Can you help me find someone?

Who's it?

A maiden from Zhennyu Hall.

Tell me her name.

I'll ask Lu Ji to look for her.

And pass on a message to her for me.

Greetings, Your Majesty.

It's you.

Tell them

that she's not Jiang Li.

You have no choice
but to do it this time.

She asked me to pass on
a message to you.

What's it?

She said

bribery is the worst tactic of all.

So she won't promise you anything,

but

it's your only chance
to redeem yourself.

For what you did in the past.

I'm sorry.

I apologize for everything I did.

I'm sorry,

Second Lady Jiang.

What nonsense are you talking about?

What nonsense are you talking about?

She is not Jiang Li!

She is Jiang Li.

She is Jiang Li!

- Nonsense!
- She is.

She is not Jiang Li.

She is not Jiang Li at all!

She is Jiang Li!

- She is Jiang Li!
- What's wrong with you?

Second Lady Jiang.
Second Lady Jiang, I'm sorry.

I apologize for what I did.

- Don't talk nonsense!
- Second Lady Jiang.

Second Lady Jiang, please forgive me.

Take the two maidens out of here.

She is Jiang Li!

She is not Jiang Li!

- She is Jiang Li!
- Second Lady Jiang, please forgive me!

You can't lie to His Majesty!

[Prosperous Era]
You can't!

She is not Jiang Li!

You've got a real knack

for getting these people
to tell lies for you.

Very good. Mr. Shen,

after so many years
living with your wife,

you wouldn't tell lies, would you?

Is this the Mrs. Shen

you've always had in mind?

Wanning,

stop messing around.

Is she

your wife?

[Prosperous Era]

No.

Shen Yurong, what did you say?

How could she not be Xue Fangfei?

You're lying.

She's obviously Xue Fangfei!

Your Highness,

my wife is dead.

Even if there was someone

who looked exactly like her,

it wouldn't be her.

[Prosperous Era]
Shen Yurong, are you blind?

You can't even recognise your own wife?

Your Highness, please mind your words.

Don't be disrespectful
in front of His Majesty.

It's impossible
that I don't recognise my own wife.

Then let's open the coffin

and examine the bones.

My late wife died in the mountains

and I couldn't find her bones,

so I had to build an empty tomb for her.

Your Highness,

what can you examine?

Who says I want
to examine Xue Fangfei's bones?

Xue Fangfei is standing right here

and the real Jiang Li
was killed by her long ago.

Her body was buried
on Qingcheng Mountain.

Have you forgotten

that Li didn't go to school

as she's been living in Zhennyu Hall
since she was little?

[Men end up in hills and graveyards.]
The strokes are strong,

straight and neat.

Since ancient times,
people's defense of a criminal

is like the people's offense
against the government.

She doesn't know what she's doing!

There are so many
miserable people in the world.

Why did Second Lady Jiang

try to save Xue Huaiyuan at all costs?

Grand Chancellor Jiang,

Your real daughter, Jiang Li,

was buried on Qingcheng Mountain.

I've found her tomb.

If you open the coffin
and let the coroner examine the bones,

you'll know who your real daughter is.

Father,

seems like Her Highness

won't let me go today.

Guards,

go to Qingcheng Mountain

and bring back the bones immediately.

Since Her Highness has made it so clear,

I need to give my father an explanation.

Because we're father and daughter,

I have caused

you trouble,

and the Jiang family is in turmoil,

I'm sorry.

Don't make it sound so grandiose.

I'm trying to rectify
the Jiang family's bloodline.

Your Highness, thank you

for thinking

of the Jiang family at this point.

If that's the case,

summon the coroner.

No need.

Your Highness, I've never
had much interaction with you.

I'm flattered that you show such concern

for my family.

I'm just not old enough to be confused.

Of course I can recognise
my own daughter.

Don't you want to know

who your own daughter is?

It's an offense
of deceiving His Majesty.

Your Highness,

I know my daughter's offended
a lot of people

trying to overturn
a good official's case.

But my daughter tried her best

to overcome all the difficulties,

so I can't be left behind.

If I can't even recognise my own family,

I'll be ashamed

to face the ancestors
of the Jiang family in the afterlife.

Your Majesty's time should not be spent
on the family affairs of the Jiangs.

Now that the Xue Huaiyuan
corruption case is over,

I'll take my daughter home.

[Prosperous Era]

Grand Chancellor Jiang,

I must examine

the bones today.

Enough!

Your Majesty,

you're the emperor.

How can you allow
these people to deceive you?

How can you uphold your authority?

Wanning,

I've already put up with you a lot.

If you keep this up,

you'll be acting treacherously.

[Prosperous Era]

Today's good mood
of vindicating a good official

has been ruined by you.

You have no regard
for the rules of the palace,

and you behave recklessly
in Imperial Court today.

You're so wrong!

Guards!

Take Eldest Princess back
to her residence!

Let go.

Let go of me.

Let go.

Let go!

I'm Eldest Princess of Great Yan.

How dare you touch me!

Take her away!

Zhao Ye,

how dare you confine me?

This is the end
of today's court session.

Eldest Princess, if you don't comply,

you're disobeying my decree!

Your Highness.

Xue Fangfei!

Don't do that.

Xiao Heng,

how dare you!

From today onward,

Without my order,

Eldest Princess is not allowed
to leave her residence!

Today's court session has ended.

- Let go.
- Dismiss.

Xue Fangfei, just you wait!

Father,

I have a favour to ask.

Go ahead.

The former subordinates
of Magistrate Xue

and the people of Huaixiang
who came to the capital with me

are in Ye Shijie's residence.

Since I brought them here,

I should finish what I started.

I want to treat them well
before I send them away.

I have to go to Ye's Residence now.

After such a mess,

you'll have to clean it up.

Come back when you're done.

I think it's time we have a little talk.

Yes,

Father.

Remember,

you're a daughter from the Jiang family.

Little Leopard Cat?

You're quite interesting.

Everyone in the capital is praising you

for solving the wrongs

and redressing the injustice.

What are you doing here

if you're not out there being praised?

What's the matter?

I want to ask you a favour.

What's it?

There's a grave on Qingcheng Mountain

and I want you

to dig up the bones

and rebury them for me.

Who's buried in there?

Why don't you go yourself?

Duke Su,

are you interrogating me?

You could say that.

Fine.

Consider I didn't say anything.

Wait.

I can dig the grave for you,

but it's a long way
to Qingcheng Mountain.

It's boring.

I don't want to go alone.

What do you mean?

Come with me.

Why did you bring me here?

I guess you want
to come here to say goodbye.

I just want to forget about this place.

If you want to forget this place,

then why do you want to move it?

You know why, and you're asking me.

Isn't Xue Fangfei buried here?

Xue Fangfei is an unclean woman

in the eyes of the world.

She already lived a miserable life.

Now that Eldest Princess
is thinking of digging the grave,

I must move her bones.

I don't want anyone to disturb her.

What about you?

I don't want to disturb her, too.

She was clean.

She was a good person.

She thought she was in love
with a good man.

She just wanted
to live a good life with him.

And for that,

she gave everything away,

including herself,

and her family.

But in the end,

she's lying alone in this cold place.

What else?

She was a woman of noble status.

She was a good woman.

She didn't kill her mother
or her brother.

She just wanted to go home.

And for that,

she waited for ten years
at Qingcheng Mountain.

Ten years.

But in the end,

she's lying in this place too.

I failed to protect her.

You've done a great job.

She won't blame you.

You vindicated the Xue family,

forced Jiang Yuanbai
to recognise his daughter

and redressed the injustice
of the people of Huaixiang.

As a pawn,

I'm very impressed with you.

Is there anything else
you want to tell her?

I've said it all.

Then I'll have someone

replace her body.

Duke Su,

thank you

for helping me protect Li.

So, Li,

from today onward,

you don't have to fear anyone anymore.

Do you like this or this?

This?

Second Lady Jiang.

Mr. Shen.

Second Lady Jiang, you look

good today.

It's because I've figured something out.

I'd like to hear about it.

Your late wife

saved my life once from death.

I used to wonder

why a person
who couldn't protect herself

would drag me back from hell.

I used to think
it was because of hatred,

hatred of the world,

hatred of her husband,

and that she was resentful.

Now I understand.

The world is vast,

the country is prosperous,

and the people are numerous.

She saved me

because she's a wonderful person.

She hasn't seen enough of this world.

How can a mean, pathetic man

be her obsession?

Is that really what she thinks?

You will know.

This was a mistake on my part.

I'm willing to accept the punishment.

Don't blame yourself,
Grand Chancellor Li.

You've done a great job.

It's because of my faulty planning.

You've suffered.

Your Highness...

I'm going to have to rely on you

while I'm grounded.

I, Li Zhongnan,

will be at the beck and call
of Your Highness and King Cheng.

Grand Chancellor Li,

get up.

Thank you, Your Highness.

I have a secret letter here.

Please give it to Imperial Diviner.

Tell Mr. Shen to come in.

Mr. Shen,

you've been kneeling all night.

Now it's your turn.

Shen Yurong,

do you take me for a fool?

Your Highness is a noble lady.

If Xue Fangfei's affair
is exposed in Imperial Court today,

I don't care if I die,

but if my mother, younger sister
and Your Highness get dragged into this,

and your reputation is damaged,

I will be sinful.

So

she can only be Jiang Li.

[Virtue and Growth]

I don't care who she is.

She must die now.

It's easy to kill her.

Your Highness don't have
to get your hands dirty.

Just like today's incident,

I warned Your Highness not to intervene,

but Your Highness didn't believe me

and acted rashly

to your own detriment.

Then what should I do?

Jiang Li has many enemies.

Your Highness can

use someone to kill her.

Can you bring yourself to kill her?

For you,

I can kill anyone.

It's heartbreaking the way you talk.

It's a pity I can't
adore you these days.

My Lord,

His Majesty said we
should investigate to the end.

How can we let Li Zhongnan go?

Leave an escape gap
for the surrounded enemy

and don't push
the desperate enemy too hard.

What does it mean?

Lu Ji,

explain it.

Even Wanning,
who's never been punished before,

was punished by His Majesty.

If we pick on Li Zhongnan at this time,

it may cause trouble.

When the sword is sheathed,

it will kill.

After eliminating Li Zhongnan's men,

Wei Qian, Zhang Kun and the others,

Li Zhongnan won't be able
to make a move again for a while.

That's the end of the Huaixiang case.

I guess

Wanning still has cards in her hand.

What should we do next?

Wen Ji,

tell me.

Well... I...

Don't stammer.

Think it over before talking

so that you won't get punished.

My Lord,

give me a moment to think.

You have to think about this?

You shall receive your punishment.

Just watch what's going to happen.

Idiot.

Something's wrong.

The Lord is asking what to do.

Watch what's going to happen
means do nothing.

This isn't fair,

My Lord.

Why did you just ask a random question?

[The North]
Stop the boat and ask for help.

[King Cheng]
By the accent, you're my countryman.

My home is near Jiujiang.

Your Highness, please spare me.

What nonsense did you sing?

Isn't there anyone who can sing?

Your Highness, please spare me.

Your Highness, please spare me.

We can't find someone like Taohong
in the north border.

Unless we can find in the Zhongyuan.

Guys,

you've been fighting with me
for so many years,

if you can't even watch a good opera,

you can tolerate it,

but I can't.

The time for achieving glory is coming.

When we take over the Zhongyuan,

we'll enjoy whatever opera

we want,

and get any woman we want.

King Cheng! King Cheng! King Cheng!

Your Highness,

Eldest Princess has been confined.

That crazy sister of mine,

I thought she had some ability,

but she's such a disappointment.

The cold season is here in the north.

Now the gold mines are closed

and the Ministry of War is giving us

lesser wages and rations every year.

At this rate,

we'll have a hard time.

As long as we achieve victory,

my brother in the palace
will definitely give us wages and rations.

But Dai Country

hasn't made a move lately.

If there's nothing, make something.

As long as we make it look like
Dai Country is invading,

we'll fight the invaders
with all our strength

in the north.

I'll go to the border to create a riot.

I wish Your Highness
a successful victory

over the invaders in advance.

[Conceal the talent and draw no attention]
Rong, why do you keep yourself locked up?

What did Eldest Princess tell you?

Tell us.

Yes, Yurong.

You're scaring us.

You're not to blame for what happened
to Her Highness, are you?

You shouldn't have

disobeyed Her Highness at the court.

If you don't care about Her Highness,

you must care about us.

I'm just an old widow,

but I pity your sister,
who's still unmarried.

I'm counting on Her Highness

to find a good match for your sister.

Get lost!

Forget it, Mother.

Yurong must be tired today.

Let's not bother him.

He knows what to do.

I used to wonder

why a person who
couldn't protect herself

would drag me back from hell.

I used to think
it was because of hatred,

hatred of the world,

hatred of her husband,

How can a mean, pathetic man

be her obsession?

Now the turmoil
in the Jiang family is finally over.

You can finally rest assured, can't you?

Who do you think Li looks like?

Master Jiang, of course.

As a woman,

she has the courage
to fight for justice.

In my opinion,

she's like Old Master Jiang.

The blood of the Jiang family
runs in Second Lady's veins,

of course she has inherited
her ancestor's character.

We've misjudged her for so many years,

we owe her so much.

Second Lady's so sensible.
She won't mind.

You can't say that.

She's big-hearted,

but she's still young.

She was away all these years

and she didn't miss
the warmth of the family?

When she comes back,
I'm going to give her a treat.

Tell those in the kitchen

to prepare a feast for Second Lady
to welcome her return.

Yes.

Madam Ji,

I've heard that Old Madam

has no intention of blaming Jiang Li

and is preparing a feast
to welcome her return.

Now that Jiang Li is gaining fame,

she's bringing honor
to the Jiang family.

Of course Old Madam
would like to flatter her.

It's hard to wait for something
to happen to Jiang Li

and she was in Court
of Judicial Review's prison.

Why did you help to get her out?

When the nest has tumbled,
all its eggs will be destroyed.

She's smart.

She knows that she's tied

to the Jiang family at the moment.

Even I had to save her.

Then we won't be able
to deal with her anymore.

Jindai, sit down.

I was willing to help her,

and now Master Jiang and Old Madam

are willing to host a feast
for her, too, aren't they?

Does Jiang Li appreciate

the Jiang family's kindness
in her heart?

Let them flatter her all they want.

They won't know the pain
until they're trampled on.

As for us,

we just need to remind

Old Madam at the right time

to let her know who Jiang Li
regards as her family.

That's it.

You're really wise.

I've heard that Magistrate Xue

and the people of Huaixiang
are all settled in the Ye family.

Yes.

I've heard that the Ye family is so rich

that they're planning
a celebration banquet

for Jiang Li
and the people of Huaixiang.

Very good.

Try to find out the date.

The feast arranged by Old Madam

shall be held on the same day
as their celebration banquet.

Let's see if Jiang Li is willing
to leave the people of Huaixiang behind

or if she wants to leave Master Jiang
and Old Madam out in the cold.

I got it.

[Ye's Residence]

Thank you, sir.

How is Magistrate Xue's condition?

Magistrate Xue's flesh wounds

will heal in time,

but his delusional disorder
is not going to go away.

What is delusional disorder?

This disorder
makes someone feel restless,

feeling that his soul has left his body,

having nightmares,

forgetting family,

forgetting past events

and forgetting oneself.

In my opinion, it's because
Magistrate Xue lost his children

and was tortured

in a wrongful case,

so his heart aches
and his mind gets lost.

It's an illness
that builds up over time.

How can it be cured?

The pain in heart is like
a thousand feet of ice,

it can't be melted in a day.

It's said that the experts
are in the people.

If the imperial physician
can't cure him,

it doesn't mean
that the folk physicians can't either.

No matter how much money
I have to spend,

I'll cure Magistrate Xue.

This is a favour I owe the Xue family.

You shouldn't repay it for me.

You've helped me so much along the way.

Jiang Li, remember this.

The Ye family
will be your backing from now on.

Me,

too.

I remember.

How is she now?

Last time, you

told me not to waste manpower
on useless things.

So I don't know what Second Lady Jiang

is doing now.

30 lashes.

She's having a celebration banquet
at Ye's Residence

to thank

the people of Huaixiang who came
with her to present the complaint.

To thank them?

At Ye's Residence?

Yes.

That's the handsome,

young and talented Ye Shijie
who's from Ye's Residence.

Go get her for me.

That's not good.

I'm afraid Second Lady Jiang

is already dining at the banquet.

If you can't get her here,

go and get your 30 lashes.

I...

I'll just use the bowl. Bowls for men,

- Here.
- cups for women.

Guys, come on. Try this.

A toast to Magistrate Xue's
redress of injustice.

Come on, let's drink.

One, two, three, bottoms up!

Come on, bottoms up!

What are your plans for the future?

I'm going back to Huaixiang for a while.

If a new magistrate comes,

I'll serve under him

and continue to work for Huaixiang.

That's right. We don't want
anything more than

to live peacefully in our hometown

and return to our old jobs.

Second Lady Jiang, like your Uncle Liu,

I just want to live a good life.

I'm going back, too, Li.

Why are you leaving, too?

Your mother's greatest regret in life

was that as a woman,

she couldn't wander the world

like a man.

I'm relieved

that you're doing well.

Shijie will take care of you
in the capital,

so I'll go and explore
and take a nice look at the world

for your mother.

But don't worry.

I'm always your Third Uncle

and Ye's Residence is always your home.

And I'll always be there for you.

Second Lady Jiang, and me.

Second Lady Jiang,
don't forget about me.

Lady Jiang, if you ask us,

we'll do whatever you want.

Yes, you have us.

Yes, and me.

I'm deeply grateful

for your kindness.

I'd like to thank you

for risking your lives to overturn
Magistrate Xue's conviction.

People unfated will part ways, but those
fated to meet will eventually meet.

I'd like to propose
a farewell toast to you all.

May we meet again in the future.

Sure. May we meet again.

See you again.

See you again.

Come on.

Quick, sit down.

Come on, fill my bowl up. Come on.

- Come on.
- Sit down.

- Come on.
- Here's to you.

- Come on.
- Let's drink.

Second Lady Jiang, let's drink.

Young Master, dig in.

Someone from the Jiang family
is asking to see Second Lady Jiang.

I'll go out and take a look.

Come on. Let's drink. Come on.

- Come on.
- Quick.

- Here's to you.
- Okay.

Second Lady, are you having dinner?

Have you forgotten about the family?

Madam Ji is hosting a feast
for you at home.

She's waiting to welcome your return.

When did anyone tell me that?

I told Bai Xue this afternoon.

Didn't Bai Xue inform you?

You know I'm not at home all day today.

Did you ask a girl to look for me

all over town to deliver a message?

I had no choice, didn't I?

Who told you to stay out all day?

There's a feast at home,

but you didn't tell me earlier
so I could help out.

It's already late

and you're only looking for me now.

Could it be
that Mother doesn't treat me as family

or

that she knew I was bidding farewell
to the people of Huaixiang

and arranged for it
to have taken place on this day?

Second Lady, Madam Ji will get upset

if you misinterpret her good intentions.

She's been working very hard

to prepare the feast
to welcome your return.

The banquet inside has already begun.

Mother's slow to inform me.

If I leave now,

people will say the Jiangs
don't know manners

and ruin my father's reputation.

If that's the case,

I'll go back and inform Madam Ji

that we'll hold a feast
to welcome your return next time.

Thank you, Madam Sun.
