One bride, two brides, they are fighting!

Why should they go in first?

- We came first! - We came first!

General Liu is at the frontier...

My name is Liu Jia. The one sitting in this palaquin

should have been my older sister, Liu Jing Shu.

Xiao Jia. [Three months ago]

Your older sister's wedding date is approaching, but she suddenly disappeared.

- Grand Master Meng has never been friendly with me. - Go!

He will definitely blame your mother while I'm stationed at the border.

- Help! - You must protect the family for me

and find your older sister.

You must not reveal your identity as a twin.

Oh, no.

Who dares to block my horse?

Young Master, save me. Someone wants to kill me.

Don't be afraid.

I've underestimated you

and let you run away.

How can you take advantage of a weak woman in broad daylight?

"Weak woman"?

Look carefully. Where is the weak woman?

Show yourself!

It's just a deception trick from the northern desert.

Young Miss, you...

Young Master, do you think I'm pretty?

Jiang Da Zhuang,

if you don't come over,

I will capture you but not alive.

Cut your useless talk, or I'll kill her.

Go ahead.

You...

So? In broad daylight,

how can I fight against a weak woman?

Sorry, Young Miss.

Ouch...

Done.

No need to thank me, Scumbag.

Quite good at martial arts.

Then I won't be polite.

What are you doing?

The Imperial Clan Affairs Office is working on a case.

Your horse is being recruited.

Please cooperate, Little Young Master.

Go back to your young lady's chamber to do embroidery.

If you dare to be brazen and reckless again,

I wonder which man will dare to marry you.

No need to give change.

You bastard!

I wonder which unlucky woman will marry you!

Young Miss, don't you worry about it.

It certainly won't be you!

Seal the entire surroundings of Liu Manor. [General's Manor]

Don't allow even a bird to enter.

Yes!

Stop!

- Bring it. - Yes!

Madam, be careful.

Madam.

Grand Master Meng, what are you doing?

Madam Liu!

Madam Liu, please don't blame me.

I came here following His Majesty's edict.

I have no intention to cause trouble for personal reasons.

Grand Master Meng, my general has been serving the country for years.

When you treat the Liu family this way, aren't you afraid of being criticized by the people?

I am afraid.

But what else can I do?

His Majesty bestowed marriage to the Liu family's eldest daughter, Liu Jing Shu.

But she has eloped with someone.

His Majesty is enraged and has meted out a punishment.

I wanted to dissuade him but failed.

Nonsense!

It's impossible that my Jing Shu would elope!

Tell her to come out.

You...

As long as Liu Jing Shu shows herself

and proves that I've wronged the Liu household,

I will die as redemption.

But if Eldest Miss Liu doesn't appear,

then it's a capital crime for the whole household of deceiving the monarch.

Men!

Present!

Arrest everyone in the Liu household and put them in jail.

Hold on!

Jing Shu...

No, it's Jia'er.

Liu Jing Shu greets Grand Master.

Jing Shu, didn't I tell you already?

You caught a contagious disease. Hurry and go back in.

Now that Eldest Miss Liu has appeared,

this is all a misunderstanding. A misunderstanding!

I'm leaving.

Stop!

Just now, Grand Master said it very clearly.

As long as I appear

to prove that Grand Master has wronged the Liu houseold,

you would die as redemption.

You...

Eldest Miss Liu is indeed a descendant of a general's family.

Fine.

I will do as you wish.

This animal has apologized

to Madam Liu in my stead.

Let's leave!

You...

It's enough.

Lan'er, bury the bird.

Yes, Miss.

Kneel.

You... How could you be so daring?

Mom, Older Sister is missing.

If I hadn't appeared today,

you would have been captured by Grand Master Meng.

Come, get up.

You cheated him by pretending to be Jing Shu today.

What if Jing Shu still doesn't appear on the wedding day?

What will you do then?

I'll marry in Older Sister's stead.

Congratulations. [Marquis of Xuanping's Manor]

- Please go inside. - Congratulations!

Lord Li, your presence brings light to our humble abode.

Has the Marquis' heir been found? [Marquis of Xuanping's Manor]

We heard that the marquis' heir went drinking and stayed out all night.

He just returned to the manor.

He's about to marry, but he is still so unruly.

Bring him here right away.

Yes, Madam.

Keep up.

Gorgeous, why did you leap into my arms so early in the morning?

You reek of alcohol.

You're getting married today. Why are you so drunk?

Madam asked me to get you.

Tidy up and go out to welcome your bride.

Does that mistress miss me that much?

How about I marry you first?

You're so annoying.

Don't bully me on your wedding day.

Oh, no!

Two bridal palanquins bumped into each other at the entrance.

Two?

Am I marrying two wives today?

Second Young Master is also getting married today.

He's marrying Grand Master Meng's niece.

Your Highness! Hurry on out!

Quickly.

Come on.

Let's check out the commotion.

One bride, two brides, they are fighting!

- Why should they go in first? - Hey!

We came first!

We came first!

- Hurry. - The Meng family arrived first.

The Liu family arrived first.

- What's going on? - I have no clue, either.

They just started fighting.

General Liu is loved by the people for his victories at the frontier.

- So what? - We arrived first.

- The Meng family arrived first. - We did.

I don't care.

- Lan'er. - The Meng family arrived first! - The Liu family arrived first!

Young Miss.

We're here for my sister.

Let them enter first.

Young Miss.

Meng Han Jiao lost the title of the top lady of the capital to the eldest miss.

So she's been in disagreement with the eldest miss.

If we let her enter first, she will be even more obnoxious.

Besides, you're the eldest son's wife.

Xiao Jia, I have one last piece of advice.

This is Yanli Kingdom's iron law.

Twins are inauspicious.

The firstborn will be recognized and allowed to live.

The second will be condemned as evil and killed.

When you and your sister were born,

your father and I couldn't bear to do it

so we let you live.

But... you aren't a stand-in for your sister.

You don't have to do this.

Mother.

My sister is missing.

If I reject this marriage, I will be criticized even more harshly.

As part of the Liu family,

I can't be a bystander.

I believe that my sister

would look for me and prove my innocence.

The auspicious hour has arrived.

Young Miss, we have to leave.

Xiao Jia.

Actually, both you and your sister...

I know.

We're your darlings.

Yes.

By the way, Mother,

Father wanted me to relay a message to you.

What is it?

He said this.

He misses you.

Abide by my wishes.

Yes, Young Miss.

Brother, they...

Interesting.

Listen up.

Young Miss is a gracious lady.

The wife of the second son from the Meng family can enter.

Goodness.

Letting the second son's wife enter first?

How gracious!

- Men! - Yes!

I'm really curious,

how sharp the fangs of this rogue girl are!

Attack!

Second Brother.

Men shouldn't be involved in women's fights.

This is atrocious.

What a way to test the waters.

The sequence of entry isn't important.

However...

hitting a woman is unacceptable.

It's her.

Insolence!

How dare you hit the Meng family's subjects!

Attack!

General Liu's troops, in position!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Hah!

Stop!

Father, Mother.

What's going on?

Why are they fighting?

Father, the two brides you chose with Second Aunt sure are filial.

What an exciting entrance they've made.

I bet our manor will be bustling in the future.

How dare you, Liu Jing Shu!

Anyone who harms the Liu family's subjects

will meet a bloody end!

Impudence!

Marquis, calm down.

We can talk things out.

How dare you step out of your palanquins before entering the manor!

You even ordered your servants to fight! This is outrageous!

Lan'er.

The Liu family's teachings are as such.

We shall not strike anyone first.

However, if we're struck, the fight goes on no matter what.

You!

Marquis, let this go.

Jing Shu is the daughter of a valiant general.

Besides, His Majesty arranged this marriage.

Even if she behaves rudely,

we should just proceed with the marriage first.

Father-in-law.

You have to seek justice for me.

My uncle is Grand Master Meng.

I've never suffered such humiliation.

Well, here's your first time.

Besides, you're suffering the consequences of your own deeds.

You...

Even if this is a marriage ordained by His Majesty,

you can't behave so disgracefully!

You're audacious and disrespectful to your elders before you're even wedded.

The Xuanping family

isn't worthy of marriage to General Liu's family!

The altar tablet of the Marchioness of Xuanping has arrived!

What...

What...

Father, when it comes to rites,

you remarried less than a year after my mother's passing.

Isn't it equally unbecoming?

Xiao Ren Yan, what are you doing on this wedding day?

Since it's my wedding day,

what's wrong with inviting my mother here to see my wife?

Brother.

My mother has been the marchioness for over a decade.

How can you humiliate her in public?

The marchioness?

I'm the heir.

That means I'm the future Marquis of Xuanping.

My wife will be the future marchioness.

Aren't you humiliating her, too?

Why is he here?

She's screeching murder in public.

How can someone like her be fit to be the marchioness?

That decision

lies with me.

Why hasn't Lan'er returned?

Forget it. I will do it myself.

I came up with this ploy to find my sister.

Xiao Ren Yan, don't resent me.

Madam, what are you doing?

Why didn't you make a sound?

Madam, what are you doing?

His Highness just helped you.

This is mariticide!

Don't worry. This is a sleeping draft often used in the military.

What?

I'm here to find clues about my sister's disappearance.

I can't really do that with him.

Do what?

That.

Oh, that.

Stop following me.

I'm not drunk!

I'm not drunk! Not drunk!

I have to accompany my wife.

Drunken fool.

Madam, are you waiting for me?

Why has Your Highness just returned?

I thought you would sleep elsewhere.

It's all madam's fault.

I've married the most renowned young miss in the capital.

All of my buddies are envious and jealous.

They had to drag me over to force me to drink.

Drunken fool.

Let me take a look. How beautiful

is the most renowned young miss of the capital?

Madam, you look quite familiar.

A hundred years of cultivation results in friendship.

A thousand years of cultivation results in marriage.

Your Highness, you and I are fated in this life.

We must have known each other in our previous life.

The auspicious night is young, we must not disappoint it.

Why don't we drink the nuptial wine?

Fine.

Madam, I will feed you.

Everyone in the capital says,

Liu Jing Shu is a brainless beauty who is naive, willful, and doesn't know the world.

But as I see it,

Madam looks like a smart beauty with a thousand faces and excels in culture and martial arts.

They say the Marquis Xuanping's heir is a drunken fool.

All he knows is drinking and whoring every day.

As I see it, with quite a lot hidden in your heart, you are quite the duplicity.

You're more like a jade-faced fox.

Don't pretend anymore. I've recognized you.

In that case, I can't let you live.

- Here come the nuptial chamber partiers! - Your Highness, we're here!

We're here to tease the newlyweds.

We're here, Your Highness.

Who is that? Aren't you a nuisance enough?

We're asleep.

Isn't the Marquis' heir the top playboy in the capital?

You linger in the brothers every day.

How can you still be so energetic?

We bow in admiration.

We bow in admiration.

Forget it. Let's leave.

- We're leaving, Your Highness. - We're leaving.

He sure makes us envious.

They've left. We can get up now.

All right.

Three, two, one.

This marriage was ordained by His Majesty.

If anything goes wrong, [Marquis of Xuanping's Manor]

both of us have family and clans.

Neither of us can bear to be guilty of defying the imperial edict.

I didn't make the first move just now.

That day in the countryside, you were rushing on your journey.

Where were you going?

Why did you disguise yourself as a man?

Why were you chasing after that pompous big guy?

He stole a lot of my money. That's why I captured him.

As for the mask,

it's because I have a frivolous reputation in the capital.

I don't want to be laughed at for getting trapped.

I'm listening to nonsense.

I've heard of it, too.

His Majesty bestowed marriage to my husband

who has quite a frivolous reputation in the capital.

So I wanted to burn incense at the Taoist Temple in the countryside to pray for a smooth marriage.

As for disguising as a man,

I also didn't want people to laugh at me.

This woman can talk nonsense easily.

Although we've just gotten acquainted,

we seem to share similar interests.

In that case, why don't we cooperate with each other?

We'll be loving in public.

In private, we won't cross each other's path.

How about it?

Deal.

I'll go to sleep in the study.

Wait.

There's one more thing.

What about the virgin cloth?

Madam is so skillful. Why ask me about such a trivial matter?

We...

The Liu family is a military family for generations.

We don't like to beat around the bush.

If you don't come up with an idea,

don't blame me when the time comes.

Madam, you are so smart. Just think of a solution by yourself.

Xiao Ren Yan, don't blame me for being vicious.

There's trouble! There's trouble!

Your Highness, Madam.

Bad news.

What's wrong?

That... virgin cloth has been stolen.

What happened? Wasn't it still there just now?

I don't know. I went back to look, but it disappeared.

Your Highness, Young Madam.

What's wrong, little bueaty?

Old Madam told me to come

to ask the Marquis' heir and Young Madam to go there with the virgin cloth.

I see. You may leave.

Useless thing.

[Marquis of Xuanping's Manor]

Xue Fei.

Madam.

Madam.

It's empty.

Nonsense!

Why is the virgin cloth missing?

I don't know.

I put it in the box.

Without the virgin cloth, how can you prove your pureness?

Oh my Goodness.

Perhaps the rumor is true that she had lost her virginity before marriage.

Shameless.

Yes, shameless.

Just as I expected, Liu Jing Shu really did lose her virginity before marriage.

So shameless.

Yes, so shameless.

If I had known, why would I waste my effort to steal it?

Just wait to see her get laughed at.

How can you lose such a precious item?

As I see it, you are guilty and deliberately hid it.

At the dignified Marquis of Xuanping Manor,

how can we allow an unclean woman to tarnish our lineage?

Today, I must let Yan'er divorce you!

Your Grace, don't be angry.

The virgin cloth is missing.

It doesn't mean Yan'er's wife lost her virginity before marriage.

Besides, this marriage was ordained by His Majesty.

So what if it was ordained by His Majesty?

She can't produce the virgin cloth and will get divorced.

His Majesty and General Liu can't blame me.

Someone!

Present.

Drag away this woman.

- Yes. - Hold on.

Father and Mother, why don't you drink the tea from Younger Sister-in-law first.

If her virgin cloth also has a problem,

then you can dispense with us together.

You can save the trouble of doing it again.

My virgin cloth has no problem.

You lost virginity before marriage, but you want to drag me down too.

Father, please drink this tea.

Mother, please drink this tea.

Thankfully, Ming'er's wife is clever and adorable.

- Xue Fei. - Yes, Madam.

Madam, it's an auspicious cloth. (T/N: Stained with virginal blood)

Madam, there's another one here.

What?

How did this happen?

This...

They want to harm me with this measly trick?

- Yes, shameless! - Shameless!

- Liu Jing shu has really lost her virginity before marriage. - That is...

So shameless.

Yes, so shameless.

If I had known,

why should I waste the effort to steal it?

I'll just wait to see her get laughed at.

Isn't this my virgin cloth? Why is it...

Meng Han jiao!

Toilet chips! Toilet chips? (T/N: Ancient toilet tissue)

I should die. I left the toilet chips in the bedroom.

Why are you still standing there then?

Hurry and get it.

Oh, yes, yes.

Oh, yes, Madam.

The medicine sent over by Grand Master Meng is already brewed.

Grand Master reminded you to take the medicine regularly.

Fine, noted. What a nuisance!

Why aren't you getting the toilet chips yet?

Yes, yes, yes.

Idiot. My legs are getting numb.

Liu Jing Shu!

You're finally defeated by me.

I will never be second to you anymore.

Such strange thinking.

This is...

You didn't expect it, right?

Younger Sister-in-law is truly thoughtful.

She even prepared two virgin cloths.

This way, no one will know if she had lost virginity before marriage.

You must have done it!

You've been wanting to harm me.

Enough now.

So much arguing and clamoring, it's improper.

We divorce on the same day, and also marry on the same day.

Second Brother, we are truly fated.

Congratulations.

Congratulations what?

Of course, it's to congratulate us for being able to divorce and marry again.

Be a groom again.

Ridiculous!

Mother and Father, it's all my fault.

I got muddled momentarily.

That blank virgin cloth belongs to Eldest Sister-in-law.

Oh...

Your Grace.

Although Ming'er's wife made a mistake,

what's important now

is that Yan'er's wife indeed didn't show blood.

If the gossip gets out,

our manor will be utterly embarrassed.

The virgin cloth has been found.

There is no blood. How do you explain it?

Xiao Ren Yan?

Xiao Ren Yan.

Why does it have anything to do with me?

In that case...

Mother, it's not easy to talk about this matter in public.

Do you want to save your dignity now?

I'm not concerned for my own dignity.

It's for...

It's for the Marquis' heir.

You've been improper in your conduct.

How does it have anything to do with the Marquis' heir?

Since Mother insists,

I'll have to say it then.

I am still a virgin.

It's because...

It's because the Marquis' heir...

It's because the Marquis' heir is impotent!
