[Follow Your Heart]

[Episode 28]

Great!

[Grand Opening]

Today is the opening of Beauty of the City.

We have an opening sale.

Welcome everyone

to shop until you drop.

[Yen Wushuang]

Great!

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Hurry up!

Hurry up.

Come on.

[Beauty of the City]

Welcome in.

Come on.

Help yourself.

Come on.

Please come in.

Isn't this Ms. Bai Yuchen,

the doctor of Yuejiang's Residence?

I've heard a lot about you.

Please come in.

Ms. Bai, you are

a renowned doctor of the capital.

It's my honor

to have you visit my store.

Please have some tea.

I am Yen Wushuang,

the Boss of Beauty of the City.

Ms. Bai,

you're very close to the Princess.

In the future,

I hope you can say some nice words

about Beauty of the City

to the Princess.

You attracted Blossom Beauty's customers

to all come here.

You're very capable.

With time, I believe

you'll shut Blossom Beauty down

completely.

Yan Nanxing, the Boss of Blossom Beauty,

is the new Duchess of Yuejiang.

Judging from your tone,

you don't seem to like her.

I didn't say that.

I heard that

Ms. Yan is a wandering doctor

and doesn't have any medical discipline.

She can't be compared to someone

from a family of doctors like you.

She doesn't deserve to be compared to me.

She's just a sweet talker

and scammer who deceived the Princess

with lowly tricks.

I can tell that you are

a noble person.

You'd never judge someone like this

for no reason.

I trust you, Ms. Bai.

If you

want to truly be the best in the capital

and unparalleled in Daqi,

I can help you.

Ms. Bai,

what advice do you have?

As the saying goes, knowing yourself and the enemy

will help you win every battle.

I'm sure

you know Ms. Yan well.

Why don’t you tell me

so that I can know how to attack?

[Beauty of the City]

My big sister.

Little sister.

Sister, come here.

Come here.

Little sister.

What's wrong?

Look.

They sell the same things here

so cheaply.

They can't break even.

What's the point if you can't make a profit?

Who cares?

Is it red?

Yes.

Oh my god, little sister.

It hurts.

You're too over-the-top.

Not at all.

It's ruined.

-Big Sister. -Little Sister.

-Me too. -My face is ruined.

Me too.

Let me see.

Yours is ruined too.

Is it really red?

Yours is red too.

Big Sister.

Miss,

we use

all natural ingredients.

-It's ruined. -Big Sister.

It's all natural.

-It's ruined. -Natural.

-It's natural. -It's ruined.

It's natural.

It's not natural.

I'm dizzy.

I feel dizzy.

Hurry and faint.

Hurry and faint.

Sister.

Is this necessary?

Sister, are you alright?

Ms. Yan.

Ms. Yan?

What are you doing

dressed like this?

Ms. Yan?

Sister.

Everyone knows that Blossom Beauty

has a duchess now.

Even if I've never seen her,

I can still find out about her.

Moreover, you are so beautiful

and

so mischievous.

Who else could you be?

It's me. So what?

Are you dressed like this

to give support to

Beauty of the City?

It's not necessary.

We're friendly competitors.

I've visited you before.

Unfortunately, none of you were there.

Friendly competitors?

You say you're the best in the capital?

Best in what?

You started a price war with a bang.

Bang!

What friendly competition?

Our products are inexpensive and high quality.

We're nice to our customers.

So what if we say we're the best in the capital?

Best?

If you are not convinced,

you can win the customers back.

Do you think everyone will come

just because your products are cheap?

Let me tell you.

I, Yan Nanxing, sell things

to make friends.

We're all friends.

Friends,

come with me.

Friends.

I don't think anyone came out.

No one?

Really, no one.

This is so embarrassing.

Ms. Yan.

I won't see you off.

Yes.

Yes.

So embarrassing.

What old clients?

No one came out with you.

Didn't you say you could handle it?

You...

Didn't you say your old clients

all believe you?

Yan Nanxing

met her match this time.

With my help,

I'll see how she'll embarrass herself.

Jiang Xinbai,

your wife got bullied,

you know?

I wish you were here.

You wouldn't let me

get bullied.

Jiang Xinbai,

you're a jerk.

You've been away for half a month

without any news.

Do you know...

Do you know

I miss you so much?

Ms. Bai, are you studying this hard

because you think there's something wrong

with our products?

Beauty of the City's beauty cream

has good and plentiful medicinal materials.

Your products are no less impressive compared to

Blossom Beauty's.

But your price

is only half of Blossom Beauty's.

Ms. Yen, what is the meaning of this?

You must be joking.

There are no losses in doing business.

Ms. Yan was right.

I

am doing a price war.

After Blossom Beauty goes bankrupt,

won't I dominate the businesses

in the capital?

Really?

You worry too much.

What other purpose can I have?

I didn't even know Ms. Yan before.

In that case,

let's go all out

and hold a 10-day opening promotion.

We'll see if Blossom Beauty can handle it.

I'll do whatever you say.

[Special Sale]

Their prices are so cheap.

Can they break even this way?

She must want to

do a price war with us.

That woman is so cruel.

Boss,

what should we do?

I'm thinking.

What are you thinking?

Thinking about a solution.

What's so hard about this?

She's ruthless,

so we must be more ruthless than her.

How?

Go boil a pot of water later.

When it gets dark,

I'll let them know

that pots are made of iron.

Auntie,

do you want to scald them?

That's illegal.

I'm the duchess now.

I can't do anything illegal.

Don't worry.

We won't do

anything illegal.

You'll know

when night falls.

Why are you here?

Suoluo.

I heard

you're going to invite a few elders from aristocratic families.

I was worried you wouldn't be able to

handle them alone,

so I came with my father without invitation.

Father will be here soon.

You

aren't unhappy, right?

Whether I'm happy or not,

you're already here.

Are you still mad at me

because of last time?

Let bygones be bygones.

Yes.

Don't worry.

As long as my father and I are here,

those lords

will treat you politely.

My lords, thank you

for coming today.

I invited you today

for...

For the succession, right?

Your brother has been exiled from the capital.

He doesn't pose a threat anymore.

The Yuejiang title

can only be yours.

You don't have to worry about

our family affairs.

Although I'm the chancellor

and don't have a low status,

I'm not a court official.

I would like to discuss

court affairs with you all

and share His Majesty's burden.

Discuss court affairs?

That's right.

I hope you all will support me.

Suoluo.

Mr. Yan,

what advice do you have?

You are from the Jiang family.

You used to be the crown prince's teacher

and you're close to the empress.

If you want to enter the court,

His Majesty

may regard this as an abuse of power

or even interference of an outside force.

You're asking for trouble.

As the saying goes,

one shouldn't avoid recommending relatives.

The Jiang family

has always been loyal to His Majesty.

How is it an abuse of power?

Her Majesty and the crown prince

are also loyal to His Majesty.

How is it despotic?

You have already reached the top

of what women can reach.

Why are you not satisfied?

That's right.

A woman

should behave like a woman.

Exactly.

Women

must return home

and take care of their families in the end.

Besides,

how can we discuss court affairs

with a woman?

How inappropriate!

I didn't expect you all

would think so too.

However,

if you're interested,

it's still negotiable.

How about this?

Today,

show your sincerity.

Pour the wine for all of us.

Mr. Yan,

this...

It's inappropriate

to make the duchess lower herself.

Exactly.

It's inappropriate.

I think

there's nothing inappropriate about it.

Well,

thank you, Your Grace.

You may not like the process

of working to the top.

You'll have to lie

and act against your will.

You'll have to twist the truth

and be decisive.

It's my duty.

Liu Ruoqian?

Why did you fall

from the sky again?

I was cleaning upstairs.

Cleaning?

Why are you in my house?

I'm the maid that you

hired.

You're that maid?

Didn't I say

you can only appear at five o'clock?

It's not past the hour yet.

You came back too early.

Who allowed you to be here?

Who allowed you to peep here?

I...

Don't you know you need to respect boundaries?

I know.

I just held on for too long.

I couldn't keep going.

Who allowed you to watch from above?

Do you think it's fun to see

a woman cry?

No.

I didn't mean that.

Then what do you mean?

What are you looking at?

You are all like this.

You're just a rabble.

You all look down on me, right?

Get out!

Get out!

I...

I told you to get out, you hear me?

Get out!

Yes.

What did he do wrong?

Why did I vent

my anger on him?

Liu Ruoqian.

Chancellor.

-I'm sorry. -I’m sorry.

Why did you bring me here?

I saw you were in a bad mood.

You can insult people here.

Insult people?

Just vent out all of your

unhappiness.

What's the use of insulting them?

They can't hear me.

They can't,

but god can.

If god hears,

he can help you punish them.

It's simple.

Let me teach you.

Those who look down on me

are idiots.

I'm talented

and handsome.

I'm the greatest genius in the world.

You actually dare to say that?

Try it.

I won't.

Try it.

Go ahead.

You...

You...

I don't know what to say.

Just insult them.

You can insult them as you like.

You conservative old men!

You're too gentle.

Old farts! Old bastards!

Old farts!

Old farts!

Old farts!

Old farts!

Despicable, shameless, lowly!

Those who look down on women are cowards.

I'll choke you

if you make me pour wine again!

Choke you to death!

I want to be an official.

I want to be the female minister

who is above everyone but the emperor.

I'm going to

step on all of you!

Step on all of them!

Look.

Those two old farts

were the ones who bullied me today.

Father,

your move

was really clever.

She had to pour the wine because I said so.

Assassin!

Who is the assassin?

Who are you?

Your shoe-throwing is so accurate.

How can a common bird

understand a swan?

Everyone speculates others

based on prejudice,

but we

definitely can't

underestimate ourselves.

Let me carry you.

No need.

I'll carry you. Come.

Are you happy today?

Do you want to be happier?

Yes.

Let's go!

Okay.

Mother.

What should we do?

Their shop

has bad feng shui,

but this tree is different.

How so?

This is the position of wealth.

It can help them change their fate

and make money.

So?

Kill it.

Kill it

and let's see how their business will boom.

Water it.

Why did you two leave?

Don't you know feng shui?

Let's go.

Watering their tree of wealth with boiling water.

How could you think of that?

What's wrong?

If she provokes me again,

I still have many tricks.

Within three days,

they'll definitely go out of business.

They'd better.

When will you

sign the divorce agreement?

After Beauty of the City goes bankrupt,

you must leave with me.

You...

You just can't stand

seeing happy couples, right?

Can't we wait for him to come back

from Tingzhou and eat a meal together?

Can't you just wait

and observe him?

I'll wait.

I'll wait for you to get pregnant

and give birth to a crying baby

and you leave it to me to take care of.

That's what you want?

I don't want to talk to you.

Look.

Ruoqian is carrying Suoluo.

Who is he carrying?

Suoluo, my sister-in-law.

The duchess.

Duchess?

Ruoqian went out to work

at night in Suoluo's house?

Ruoqian

is quite impressive.

He works by day and at night, he...

What are you thinking about?

Here, Boss.

Thank you for taking care of Ruoqian.

Thank you, Auntie.

Ruoqian actually helped me a lot.

I should have come to visit you earlier.

Ruoqian,

your Boss is here.

Boss,

why are you here?

Didn’t you tell Sai'er

you want to be my manager?

I'm here to discuss it with you.

We were just kidding.

But I'm serious.

Let's talk inside.

Ruoqian, let me ask you.

Do you want to drop out of school?

No.

I want to change my fate with knowledge.

How?

You just

go to my sister-in-law's house at night—

You know already?

You admit it?

I wanted to tell you a long time ago.

But later I thought

it's nothing.

It's nothing?

You actually think

it's nothing?

I'm just working as her maid.

Liu Ruoqian.

What did you tell me before?

Although you're a slave,

you have dignity.

You won't do

self-deprecating things.

I'm making money with my own skills.

It's not that I'm not working.

You...

How could you say that?

Aren't you ashamed?

Why should I?

Can't men do

what women do?

-What are they talking about? -Liu Ruoqian.

Let me tell you.

As long as I’m your Boss,

I won't allow you

to go to Suoluo's house at night.

Boss,

you went against prejudices

and hired me as a clerk before.

Why do you judge me

based on gender now?

It has nothing to do with gender.

Is it because of Suoluo

and your husband's relationship?

No, no.

It's not like that.

Anyway, I won't allow you to go.

If you really need money,

I can give it to you.

You can't earn what you shouldn't.

I won't allow you

to belittle yourself again.

You can't go.

I'm just working there as a maid.

Bastard!

Move!

Listen.

Tomorrow,

you go drop out of the Imperial Academy

and resign from the duchess's mansion.

From now on,

you are not allowed to go out again.

Obediently be a blacksmith at home.

Father,

you are so unreasonable.

I won't quit my job

or drop out from school.

I don't have a son like you.

Get lost.

Get out!

Get out!

Wait.

Your hand.

Why are you all like this?

Why do you all disrespect

my life?

Look what you've done.

Get lost!

Yes.

Apologize to your father now.

You...

Ruoqian!

Don't stop him.

Boss,

we

didn't teach our child well.

Sorry for the trouble.

Sorry, Boss.

Sir, Auntie,

don't say that.

Ruoqian is like my family.

I'm also at fault.

I've neglected him

these days.

Auntie,

take the money.

No.

We can't.

Take it.

Suoluo is my sister-in-law.

I'll talk to her.

I'll have her

explain about this.

Take it.

-Boss. -Thank you, Boss.

You are such a good person.

Now I'm homeless.

Hiding at the Imperial Academy

isn't a long-term plan.

If I accidentally

break a vase,

I'll have an excuse

to be a housemaid.

I can pay with my labor.

This is big. It must be expensive.

The color is so nice.

It must not be cheap.

This seems...

Not this one either.

This should be cheap.

It broke.

The vase broke.

I'll pay for it.

Can you afford it?

How expensive can this vase be?

This is a white porcelain from the Xing kiln.

It's worth 100 taels of gold.

Then...

Then...

What about these?

Those are cheap.

Why did I

pick the most expensive one?

If you don't mind,

I can pay with my labor.

Your labor?

I can work for you for free

and be a housemaid.

Until I pay you back.

My vase

was put in such a high place

and you broke it?

Tell me.

Why do you

insist on moving in?

Chancellor, you are wise.

I can’t hide anything from you.

Don't you work for Yan Nanxing?

I used to.

From now on,

I'm your maid.

What?

Did she abandon you?

She was very angry that I'm working

for you

and kicked me out.

Why?

Is it shameful to be my maid?

I don't know

what she's thinking.

Looks like I'll have to

talk to Yan Nanxing

and see what she has

against me.

Chancellor,

then I...

Fine.

You can stay in the side room.

Thank you, Chancellor.

Fortunately, I'm not short of money.

Prepare the ink.

Okay.

[Blossom Beauty]

Boss.

Here you go.

Why are they

so shameless?

They actually poured dog urine

outside our shop without us noticing.

I must tear down their shop.

Do you have evidence?

Who else could it be?

What is this?

It stinks.

Well, Boss,

I’ll go in to clean.

Why are you here?

Ruoqian said you drove him away.

That brat.

He learned to find someone to support him.

He lives in my house now.

He's mine now.

I have to support him.

You're speaking so loudly.

Are you that open about it?

I'm an upright person.

Why can't I be open about it?

Why won't you let Ruoqian

stay at my home?

But it doesn't seem like

Blossom Beauty has any business.

If Ruoqian comes back,

he must have no work to do.

Don't worry about

Blossom Beauty.

Don't act tough.

My brother told me

to take good care of you.

If you need help,

just tell me.

I

can definitely help you.

Since you said so,

I'll tell you.

You said you would help.

Don't deny it.

I know the situation

of the store across the street.

It's just a price war.

They just want cheap things.

It's normal.

What should we do now?

You're wrong.

Compared with cheap things,

people prefer

to take advantage of things.

[Cheap]

[Genuinely Good]

[Beautiful and Cheap]

Blossom Beauty.

Blossom Beauty.

It's affordable and high quality.

Your volume is too low.

Louder.

How can the customers hear us?

Louder.

Okay.

Everyone, Blossom Beauty has a clearance sale.

Take a look.

Don't miss it!

Are you this bold?

What are you waiting for?

Hurry up and shout!

Hurry up!

Shout.

Blossom Beauty,

clearance sale!

Don't miss it!

Don't miss it!

Come and have a look.

Come and take a look.

Blossom Beauty clearance sale!

Don't miss it!

Beautiful and cheap.

Brat.

It seems that you have

many friends in the capital.

Why do you have to love

Jiang Xinbai?

Beautiful and cheap!

Don't miss it!

Blossom Beauty!

Clearance sale!

Don't miss it!

Come and take a look.

Blossom Beauty!

Beautiful and cheap!

Blossom Beauty is going bankrupt!

The boss ran away because of a gambling debt!

A clearance sale!

Don't care about the cost!

We're selling everything!

Come on!

Come here!

Look here!

Wish you good fortune.

Sir, come and buy for your wife

and she'll treat you well every day.

Miss, come and buy for your husband

and all family conflicts will be put aside.

You'll regret it if you don't buy it today.

Your wife will slap her thigh at night.

Slap her thigh!

Slap her thigh.

Slap her thigh!

Slap her thigh!

Slap her thigh!

Slap her thigh!

Slap her thigh!

Blossom Beauty.

Girls, Blossom Beauty is cheaper.

Let's go and buy it!

Come on.

Okay.

Come on.

Okay.

Come and take a look.

Blossom Beauty is doing a price war too?

They're copying us.

Calm down, Ms. Bai.

Blossom Beauty

can't beat me

in a price war.

[50% Off]

Beauty of the City

offers a 50% discount.

Come back!

Don't go!

Don't go.

They all left. What can we do?

Blossom Beauty, 60% off.

[60% Off]

60% off.

Hurry up.

Hurry up!

60% off.

[70% Off]

Beauty of the City offers a 70% discount.

Don't go.

[80% ]

Blossom Beauty,

80%!

[70% Off]

80%.

There's enough for everyone.

Beauty of the City, 90% off!

[90% Off]

Don't go!

What's going on?

Are you

betraying us too?

I won't betray you.

I won't buy it.

I just want to

get some intelligence for you.

This is for you.

It's free.

90% off!

She's sacrificing herself to hurt her enemy.

What do you think she wants?

I don't think

we should do a price war.

Why don't you buy their shop

and end it once and for all?

I have no money.

You have no money?

You're a duchess

and the chancellor.

How can you have no money?

Do you think a chancellor

has a high salary?

How come

you were rich back when you wanted to

drive me away?

You shouldn't have mentioned it.

If you hadn't

fought with Mother back then,

why would I have bought

those two title deeds?

Are you blaming me?

Who else should I blame?

I spent a lot of money

on those two title deeds.

Besides,

Mother

didn't say anything after that.

In order to please you,

Xinbai also took the deeds away.

He didn't give me a penny.

Otherwise,

why would I need Ruoqian

to be a cleaning maid?

What did you say?

The "maid" that Ruoqian mentioned

is a cleaning maid?

What else?

What kind of maid did you think it was?

He was talking about being a cleaning maid.

A cleaning maid.
