How dare you!
5
00:01:43,870 --> 00:01:45,480
Father, I didn't!

00:01:46,070 --> 00:01:46,790
Father.
7
00:01:46,790 --> 00:01:48,070
Xuanyuan only knows how to read books
8
00:01:48,070 --> 00:01:49,280
and write articles all day.
9
00:01:49,480 --> 00:01:50,280

10
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:51,430
these things at all.
11
00:01:51,430 --> 00:01:52,430

Hairu,
13
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,280
did you prepare all of these?
14
00:02:00,350 --> 00:02:01,430
Yeah,
15
00:02:01,430 --> 00:02:03,000
I bought all the exam prep items

19
00:02:08,630 --> 00:02:10,120
I prepared three sets in total.

Besides theirs,
21
00:02:11,150 --> 00:02:12,430
Lin Mao also has one.
22

The ink, brushes, paper, inkstones,
23
00:02:14,100 --> 00:02:15,520
and everything else are exactly the same.
24
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:16,840
I've got no ulterior motives.
25
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:18,310
But some people just think
26
00:02:18,310 --> 00:02:19,800
what I prepared isn't good enough
27
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:20,750

You've got some nerve!

The honor of our Luo family
31
00:02:29,560 --> 00:02:30,590

32
00:02:30,960 --> 00:02:32,400
ruined by you.

He wouldn't do such a thing.

40

When I tested you on your lessons,
41

you couldn't answer repeatedly.
42
00:02:55,430 --> 00:02:56,240
In the end,
43
00:02:56,520 --> 00:02:58,400
you cheated by writing on your palm
44

to get by with me.
45
00:03:00,840 --> 00:03:02,590
I warned you, Luo Xuanyuan,
46
00:03:03,310 --> 00:03:04,840
but you're incorrigible!
47
00:03:06,190 --> 00:03:07,120
I think

It's all my fault.

for Xuanyuan's sake,
59

but he knows nothing about it.

Oh, by the way,

88
00:04:54,510 --> 00:04:56,120
He's actually the princess' son.

He's the princess' son?

to my sister before is
94
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,510
because someone
95

looked down on us for being merchants.

00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:47,510
am I really going to be
201
00:09:47,510 --> 00:09:48,960
betrothed to someone from the Liu family?
202
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:50,750
Your grandmother
203
00:09:50,750 --> 00:09:52,150
just mentioned it casually.
204
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:53,240
It doesn't count.
205
00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:55,440
Let's wait and see the results of the exam.
206
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,720
I told you to hurry up.
207

I'll let you

stand on my shoulders to see.
212

Fortunately, I ran away.
291
00:15:00,910 --> 00:15:02,840
Otherwise, I might've been taken to some unknown family.
292
00:15:02,960 --> 00:15:04,240
Let me wish you to
293
00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:05,630
get a Shengyuan
294

and a Zhuangyuan.
295
00:15:06,910 --> 00:15:09,150
More people will try to take marriage by force
under the results.
296

But
297
00:15:10,630 --> 00:15:12,200
I think someone will soon come to our mansion
298
00:15:12,200 --> 00:15:13,630
to discuss marriage arrangements.
299
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:14,440
Then I'll have
300
00:15:14,440 --> 00:15:16,000
a sister-in-law.
301
00:15:16,150 --> 00:15:17,000
Why do you always
302
00:15:17,000 --> 00:15:17,960
think about
303
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,910
these useless things?
304
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:20,720
Useless things?
305
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:21,840
Do you
306
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:23,630
plan to stay single forever?
307
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:24,840
If I can't marry
308
00:15:24,840 --> 00:15:26,000
someone I love,
309
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:28,320
I won't marry at all in this lifetime.
310
00:15:28,510 --> 00:15:29,320
Alright.
311
00:15:29,630 --> 00:15:31,000
Then I hope Shenyuan
312
00:15:31,030 --> 00:15:32,630
meets his true love soon.
313
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:33,600
Then
314
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,440
I can have an sister-in-law sooner.
315
00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,510
Lord, there's only this unnamed grave
316
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,550
left around this Villa of Peach Blossom Haven.
317

Let's dig.
318
00:16:16,630 --> 00:16:17,440
Do it.
319
00:17:16,829 --> 00:17:17,639
My Lord,
320
00:17:20,310 --> 00:17:23,200
by the looks of the body,
it's definitely a female corpse.
321
00:17:26,829 --> 00:17:28,349
What about the things I asked you to look into?
322
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,720
When Miss Yining stay at the villa,
323
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:38,200
it's true that her
324
00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:39,550
personal maid did pass away.
325
00:17:42,350 --> 00:17:43,400
Her name was Xu Mei?
326
00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:45,240
Indeed,
327
00:17:46,550 --> 00:17:47,440
she was called Meimei.
328
00:18:01,830 --> 00:18:03,110
Let's bury her properly.
329
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,200
Tell everyone to
330
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,920
take a three-day break from all the farmland.
331
00:18:21,070 --> 00:18:21,880
Yes, Madam Lin.

333

Mine, mine!
345
00:18:50,270 --> 00:18:51,160
Give me one!
346
00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:51,920
This is mine!
347
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:52,790
Congratulations!
348
00:18:52,790 --> 00:18:54,070
Thank you, Madam Lin!
349
00:18:54,070 --> 00:18:55,880
Thank you, thank you.
350
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:57,590
Greeting to Grandmother.
351
00:18:59,750 --> 00:19:01,030
Rise quickly, now.
352
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:04,000
Yes.
353
00:19:06,550 --> 00:19:08,960
Shenyuan and Xuanyuan have both passed the exam.
354
00:19:09,310 --> 00:19:10,680
This is indeed a great joy
355
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:11,920
for our Luo family!
356
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:12,640
Today,
357
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:14,240
we've prepared a feast.
358
00:19:14,310 --> 00:19:17,310
We gather here to celebrate.
359
00:19:17,440 --> 00:19:19,240
No one is allowed to miss it!
360
00:19:20,550 --> 00:19:22,110
Thank you, Grandmother.
361
00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:24,030
Don't thank me.
362
00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:25,440
it's your father who
363
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:27,160
had this feast prepared.
364
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:30,920
Thank you, Father.
365
00:19:34,030 --> 00:19:35,550
Mother, you're back from distributing the alms.
366
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:40,960
Congratulations, Mother.
367
00:19:42,590 --> 00:19:44,960
Look at you, all radiant with joy.
368
00:19:45,030 --> 00:19:46,830
How much wealth have you given away?
369
00:19:46,830 --> 00:19:47,830
Not much, really.
370
00:19:48,240 --> 00:19:49,510
But isn't it wonderful to
371
00:19:49,510 --> 00:19:50,720
see Shenyuan doing so well?
372
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:53,030
Now, as the legitimate mother of the Jieyuan,
373
00:19:53,030 --> 00:19:54,550
you should be happy.
374
00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,750
Chengzhang, when you have time,
375
00:19:56,750 --> 00:19:58,400
take Hairu to the temple
376
00:19:58,400 --> 00:19:59,590
to fulfill our vows.
377
00:20:00,510 --> 00:20:01,440
Yes, Mother.
378
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:04,830
Mother, you've spent so much.
379
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,240
How comes that?
380
00:20:06,440 --> 00:20:07,920
You've made me proud.
381
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,550
Mother, please be frugal.
382
00:20:10,590 --> 00:20:11,400
More exams
383
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:13,030
are coming up.
384
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:14,510
Don't worry.
385
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:16,590
As long as Shenyuan studies hard,
386
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,350
I'll distribute as much as I want.
387
00:20:21,350 --> 00:20:22,310
Chengwen,
388
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,640
don't be too disappointed.
389
00:20:24,750 --> 00:20:26,160
There are plenty of opportunities
390
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,590
in the future.
391
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:30,640
Yes, Mother.
392
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,550
Even though you've become the Jieyuan,
393
00:20:36,920 --> 00:20:39,350
the journey of the imperial examinations has
just begun.
394
00:20:39,750 --> 00:20:41,830
Don't become complacent.
395
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:43,960
The Spring Examination and the Emperial
396
00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,160
Examination are where true abilities are tested.
397
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:48,480
Yes.
398
00:20:50,550 --> 00:20:51,350
Xuanyuan,
399
00:20:52,400 --> 00:20:53,590
you also mustn't slack off.
400
00:20:54,160 --> 00:20:56,720
There's still a chance
in the Metropolitan Examination.
401
00:20:58,550 --> 00:20:59,720
Yes, Father.
402
00:21:26,790 --> 00:21:27,960
I've already spoken to Father.
403
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:29,830
Father has allowed you to stop kneeling,
404
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:31,200
but you must stay confined to
405
00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:32,210
Bilian Pavilion and not go out.
406
00:21:33,590 --> 00:21:34,920
I've heard about it.
407
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:36,110
Father must be very happy that
408
00:21:36,310 --> 00:21:37,790
you've passed the examination.
409
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:39,510
No one in this mansion will dare to
410
00:21:39,510 --> 00:21:41,200
look down on us anymore.
411
00:21:42,350 --> 00:21:44,590
Xuanyuan, what's wrong with you?
412
00:21:44,830 --> 00:21:47,440
Why aren't you happy
after passing the examination?
413
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,000
Not at all.
414
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,000
I've only passed the examination,
415
00:21:51,510 --> 00:21:53,110
how can it compare to becoming the Jieyuan?
416
00:21:59,030 --> 00:22:01,160
Miss Yilian, are you alright?
417
00:22:08,590 --> 00:22:11,000
Did Shanyuan become the Jieyuan?
418
00:22:11,550 --> 00:22:14,240
Miss Yilian, it's Luo Shenyuan who
419
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:16,200
came in first as the Jieyuan.
420
00:22:27,110 --> 00:22:27,920
Mother.
421
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:30,720
Kneel down.
422
00:22:36,590 --> 00:22:38,350
It's just this time I didn't pass, isn't it?
423
00:22:38,590 --> 00:22:40,240
I can take the exam again next time.
424
00:22:40,550 --> 00:22:42,000
And there are plenty of people
425
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:43,240
who fail multiple times.
426
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:45,000
Why not compare to the best?
427
00:22:45,440 --> 00:22:47,310
I always told you to study hard,
428
00:22:47,310 --> 00:22:48,590
but you never listened.
429
00:22:48,830 --> 00:22:49,920
Now look,
430
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:50,920
both of the Second branch's
431
00:22:50,920 --> 00:22:52,550
sons made the list.
432
00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:54,510
Only you didn't.
433
00:22:55,240 --> 00:22:56,720
Lin Mao didn't pass either.
434
00:22:56,830 --> 00:22:58,000
Are you comparing yourself to him?
435
00:22:58,350 --> 00:22:59,750
What's his background?
436
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:01,400
The Luo and Chen families
437
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:03,000
are both scholarly families.
438
00:23:03,750 --> 00:23:05,590
Your grandfather was a Zhuangyuan,
439
00:23:05,590 --> 00:23:07,240
your father was also Jinshi in the exam.
440
00:23:08,550 --> 00:23:09,590
Your brother
441
00:23:10,590 --> 00:23:12,590
was incredibly intelligent since childhood.
442
00:23:12,590 --> 00:23:13,920
Grandfather is grandfather.
443
00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:14,720
Father is father.
444
00:23:14,720 --> 00:23:15,520
And I am me.
445
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:16,690
No matter how clever my brother was,
446
00:23:16,690 --> 00:23:17,830
he's already dead.
447
00:23:18,920 --> 00:23:20,440
You unpromising good-for-nothing!
448
00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,000
Always wasting time on useless things.
449
00:23:23,030 --> 00:23:24,590
All you care about is martial arts
450
00:23:24,640 --> 00:23:26,310
and military strategies.
451
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:27,440
Let me tell you,
452
00:23:27,550 --> 00:23:28,350
from tomorrow,
453
00:23:28,350 --> 00:23:29,640
I'll throw all
454
00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,920
your junk out.
455
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:32,200
You'll kneel in the Quiet Hall
456
00:23:32,240 --> 00:23:33,110
overnight as punishment.
457
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:44,640
Madam, please don't be angry.
458
00:23:44,640 --> 00:23:47,160
Mr. Shanyuan will definitely
pass the exam next time.
459
00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:48,310
Next time?
460
00:23:49,310 --> 00:23:51,240
If he fails again next time,
461
00:23:51,750 --> 00:23:52,550
I will really
462
00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:54,880
be embarrassed.
463
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:56,960
If Huaiyuan was still alive,
464
00:23:57,350 --> 00:23:58,680
how could
465
00:23:59,790 --> 00:24:01,750
anyone else take the place of the Jieyuan
466
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:03,480
I wouldn't have
467
00:24:04,350 --> 00:24:05,960
lost all my face.
468
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,160
The rise of Luo Shenyuan
469
00:24:09,510 --> 00:24:11,200
has become a surprise.
470
00:24:11,310 --> 00:24:12,720
Now even the Old Lady
471
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:14,350
treats him with special respect.
472
00:24:14,550 --> 00:24:16,550
When he had no status or title,
473
00:24:16,750 --> 00:24:18,550
he always protected Luo Yining.
474
00:24:18,550 --> 00:24:19,270
If he
475
00:24:19,270 --> 00:24:21,400
becomes Bangyan or Tanhua in the future...
476
00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:22,790
This road
477
00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:24,680
is still long.
478
00:24:24,960 --> 00:24:28,200
And who knows what will happen.
479
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:31,350
My head is aching.
480
00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:33,550
So I won't attend
481
00:24:33,550 --> 00:24:34,830
the dinner tonight.
482
00:24:35,350 --> 00:24:37,200
Quickly go and tell the Old Lady for me.
483
00:24:37,790 --> 00:24:38,510
Yes, Madam.
484
00:24:45,220 --> 00:24:46,480
[Lotus Courtyard]
485
00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:48,350
Lin Mao?
486
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:49,590
Where are you?
487
00:25:00,350 --> 00:25:01,960
You're close with Shen Yuan.
488
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,790
Why didn't you join
489
00:25:03,790 --> 00:25:05,110
his banquet today?
490
00:25:05,790 --> 00:25:08,110
Hairu, please don't tease me.
491
00:25:08,550 --> 00:25:10,030
I'm so upset about not doing well
492
00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,200
on the exam that I can't even eat.
493
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:16,720
Why are you crying now?
494
00:25:18,000 --> 00:25:19,000
Stop crying.
495
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:21,960
Number of people passing that exam is
496
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:23,550
rare as a phoenix's feather.
497
00:25:24,030 --> 00:25:25,680
Just put in more effort next time.
498
00:25:26,030 --> 00:25:27,750
I'll talk to Mom and Dad for you.
499
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:29,920
What makes me feel worst
500
00:25:31,200 --> 00:25:32,960
is letting you down in front of
501
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:34,070
Mom and Dad.
502
00:25:34,590 --> 00:25:36,790
I'm such a failure.
503
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:38,790
Don't lose heart.
504
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:41,200
Put more thought into your studies
505
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:42,960
from now on.
506
00:25:44,270 --> 00:25:45,200
Let's eat.
507
00:25:45,480 --> 00:25:46,830
I can't eat anymore.
508
00:25:47,640 --> 00:25:48,440
Ruixiang,
509
00:25:48,590 --> 00:25:50,400
go get some porridge and side dishes for him.
510
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:52,640
Hairu, please punish me.
511
00:25:52,640 --> 00:25:54,030
Let me starve.
512
00:25:54,270 --> 00:25:55,590
How can I do that?
513
00:25:56,270 --> 00:25:57,790
You'll harm your body if you starve yourself.
514
00:25:57,790 --> 00:25:58,550
Wait a moment.
515
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,720
I'm sorry, Hairu.
516
00:26:11,960 --> 00:26:14,590
I'm sorry.
517
00:26:46,110 --> 00:26:46,790
Hairu?
518
00:26:49,550 --> 00:26:50,830
why are you back?
519
00:26:50,830 --> 00:26:52,440
I just came back.
520
00:26:53,510 --> 00:26:55,200
Happiness leads to sorrow.
521
00:26:55,200 --> 00:26:57,310
I knew you couldn't possibly
have changed your nature.
522
00:26:58,070 --> 00:26:58,480
I was wrong.
523
00:26:58,480 --> 00:27:00,030
I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!
524
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:07,200
Madam, Mr. Shenyuan has arrived.
525
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:21,550
Something urgent
526
00:27:22,270 --> 00:27:23,200
at this late hour?
527
00:27:24,590 --> 00:27:26,400
Shenyuan has come to
humbly request that Grandmother
528
00:27:26,590 --> 00:27:29,680
entrust me with that testimony from the past.
529
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,160
It's true that you become
the Jieyuan today.
530
00:27:36,550 --> 00:27:37,830
But there are still
531
00:27:37,830 --> 00:27:40,240
the Metropolitan Examination and Imperial Examination ahead.
532
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:41,400
How can you
533
00:27:41,400 --> 00:27:43,030
be so sure of your future?
534
00:27:43,400 --> 00:27:44,400
I am confident that
535
00:27:44,830 --> 00:27:46,310
I will not disappoint you.
536
00:27:46,590 --> 00:27:48,200
Alright, sit down.
537
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:49,790
Yes.
538
00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,350
Take a seat and talk.
539
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:56,310
Shenyuan,
540
00:27:56,960 --> 00:27:59,960
what will you do if
541
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:01,720
I give you that testimony?
542
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:02,680
Grandmother,
543
00:28:04,110 --> 00:28:05,920
I understand your concerns.
544
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:07,830
But I am not
545
00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:08,920
a reckless person.
546
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:10,200
Now I'm in the family tree,
547
00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:12,070
I will take the honor and
548
00:28:12,070 --> 00:28:13,830
decline of the Luo family as my responsibility.
549
00:28:14,030 --> 00:28:15,070
I will never let the Luo family
550
00:28:15,070 --> 00:28:16,200
fall into danger.
551
00:28:16,590 --> 00:28:18,550
I will also protect Yining.
552
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:20,440
And if
553
00:28:20,680 --> 00:28:22,200
I still refuse to give you
554
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,270
that testimony?
555
00:28:23,270 --> 00:28:24,400
If you didn't
556
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:25,400
want to give it to me,
557
00:28:26,200 --> 00:28:27,200
you wouldn't
558
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:28,550
have talked to me so much today.
559
00:28:29,070 --> 00:28:30,550
I know you've been
560
00:28:30,790 --> 00:28:32,310
observing me these days.
561
00:28:33,310 --> 00:28:34,400
I believe you must have already
562
00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,480
made a decision in your heart.
563
00:28:37,440 --> 00:28:39,880
Are you really not afraid of
564
00:28:40,110 --> 00:28:41,440
danger or death?
565
00:28:42,030 --> 00:28:43,550
Grandfather sacrificed himself to clear up
566
00:28:44,590 --> 00:28:45,590
the wrongful case.
567
00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,960
Someone must carry on
his integrity and backbone.
568
00:28:49,510 --> 00:28:51,640
You've kept the testimony safe until today.

The case of Li Yinglong accusing Chen Jiuheng

603
00:32:42,310 --> 00:32:43,350

this to the Ministry of Justice.
608

00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:56,640
Deputy Chen refused.
611
00:32:57,030 --> 00:32:58,550

613
00:32:59,480 --> 00:33:01,590
to frame Deputy Chen
for embezzling disaster relief funds.
614
00:33:02,200 --> 00:33:04,270
This caused Deputy Chen and his followers to be
615

falsely accused and imprisoned.
616
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:07,070

00:39:31,550 --> 00:39:32,800
Daoyan is bait,
758
00:39:33,630 --> 00:39:34,840
bait to lure us out.
759
00:39:35,670 --> 00:39:36,480
In any case, we still
760
00:39:37,480 --> 00:39:38,480
need to send brothers to
761
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:39,710
secretly protect him
762
00:39:40,000 --> 00:39:40,960
just in case.
763
00:39:42,000 --> 00:39:42,760
Understood.
764
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:46,760
Lord's intention is
765
00:39:46,960 --> 00:39:49,480
to use Chen Daoyan as bait outside the gate.
766
00:39:49,480 --> 00:39:51,000
Waiting for his accomplices to appear
767
00:39:51,110 --> 00:39:52,480
before rounding them all up.
768
00:39:53,480 --> 00:39:54,320
Assistant Minister Li,
769
00:39:55,880 --> 00:39:57,400
we've been searching for so many years,
770
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:00,760
and now he's come to us.
771
00:40:01,190 --> 00:40:02,440
We mustn't miss this chance.
772
00:40:03,510 --> 00:40:05,230
Lord Lu's consideration is thorough.
773
00:40:05,230 --> 00:40:07,150
And I am truly impressed.
774
00:40:07,150 --> 00:40:09,400
However, the Imperial Attendant's orders
are that
775
00:40:09,710 --> 00:40:11,510
this matter
776
00:40:11,510 --> 00:40:12,760
cannot be delayed or made public.
777
00:40:12,880 --> 00:40:14,400
The sooner it's resolved,the better.
778
00:40:14,550 --> 00:40:16,510
Otherwise, if the emperor finds out,
779
00:40:16,510 --> 00:40:18,110
it will be troublesome.
780
00:40:18,190 --> 00:40:19,190
At most, three days.
781
00:40:20,550 --> 00:40:21,630
If no accomplices appear
782
00:40:22,590 --> 00:40:24,110
after three days,
783
00:40:24,510 --> 00:40:25,710
I will deal with him myself.
784
00:40:26,550 --> 00:40:28,030
I'll take my leave now.
785
00:40:35,000 --> 00:40:35,800
What?
786
00:40:36,280 --> 00:40:37,960
Daoyan is striking the Drum for Complain.
787
00:40:38,400 --> 00:40:39,760
He's been at it for a whole day,
788
00:40:39,800 --> 00:40:40,710
claiming to seek justice
789
00:40:40,710 --> 00:40:42,400
for the case of Mr. Chen Jiuheng from years ago.
790
00:40:42,920 --> 00:40:44,710
Get the carriage ready, we're leaving now.
791
00:40:44,710 --> 00:40:45,550
Should we go to
792
00:40:45,550 --> 00:40:46,590
Jimo Court for Mr. Shenyuan?
793
00:40:47,110 --> 00:40:47,840
How could Shenyuan
794
00:40:47,840 --> 00:40:48,710
possibly stay in
795
00:40:48,710 --> 00:40:50,150
Jimo Pavilion at a time like this?
796
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:51,400
Yes, Miss Yining.
797
00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:17,000
Young Master,
798
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:18,000
Imperial City Division's
799
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:18,920
tailing us!
800
00:41:22,280 --> 00:41:23,070
Let's go!
801
00:41:26,840 --> 00:41:27,710
Move aside!
802
00:41:36,440 --> 00:41:37,110
Get in the carriage!
803
00:41:51,030 --> 00:41:51,840
Shenyuan,
804
00:41:52,760 --> 00:41:53,710
why Daoyan
805
00:41:53,760 --> 00:41:55,150
strikes the Drum for Complain?
806
00:41:55,190 --> 00:41:56,150
He wants to reopen the case.
807
00:41:56,550 --> 00:41:57,590
Even if it doesn't succeed,
808
00:41:57,590 --> 00:41:59,190
It'll attract imperial attention.
809
00:41:59,710 --> 00:42:00,960
I inquired about Mr. Chen's case
810
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:02,190
before.
811
00:42:02,800 --> 00:42:04,280
I heard that it was our grandfather
812
00:42:04,510 --> 00:42:05,760
who presided over the trial.
813
00:42:07,400 --> 00:42:08,150
That's right.
814
00:42:09,360 --> 00:42:11,230
The evidence used to frame our teacher
815
00:42:11,800 --> 00:42:13,150
was flawless,
816
00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:14,760
and the case was closed.
817
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:15,760
But our grandfather
818
00:42:15,760 --> 00:42:17,150
believed in teacher's character
819
00:42:17,760 --> 00:42:18,710
and held several trials.
820
00:42:18,960 --> 00:42:20,110
Finally, Sun Chengwu
821
00:42:20,110 --> 00:42:21,070
confessed the truth
822
00:42:21,070 --> 00:42:22,920
and wrote a genuine testimony.
823
00:42:23,070 --> 00:42:24,360
But on the night of the final trial,
824
00:42:24,670 --> 00:42:26,000
the Ministry of Justice was set on fire,
825
00:42:26,480 --> 00:42:27,670
and Sun Chengwu was killed.
826
00:42:27,710 --> 00:42:28,670
How did you
827
00:42:29,110 --> 00:42:30,400
come to know all these things?
828
00:42:35,230 --> 00:42:37,510
After returning to the mansion,
829
00:42:37,510 --> 00:42:38,780
Grandfather only met with the Old Lady.
830
00:42:39,510 --> 00:42:40,760
I was hiding outside the window,
831
00:42:41,510 --> 00:42:43,030
so I learned about that testimony.
832
00:42:43,920 --> 00:42:44,670
Before his passing,
833
00:42:44,670 --> 00:42:46,000
he told she to keep the painting safe.
834
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:47,000
That's how I knew
835
00:42:47,030 --> 00:42:48,000
the testimony
836
00:42:48,190 --> 00:42:49,400
was hidden inside a painting.
837
00:42:51,550 --> 00:42:52,360
So,
838
00:42:53,400 --> 00:42:54,760
when I just got back to the Luo Mansion,
839
00:42:55,280 --> 00:42:56,150
you kept inquiring about
840
00:42:56,150 --> 00:42:57,440
his Pine and Cypress Painting.
841
00:42:57,670 --> 00:42:59,230
And secretly snuck into my private chamber,
842
00:43:00,070 --> 00:43:01,550
all for that testimony.
843
00:43:02,400 --> 00:43:04,590
And all the help and rescuing you did for me
844
00:43:05,070 --> 00:43:06,710
were also for that testimony.
845
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,110
I admit that was part of my intention.
846
00:43:09,150 --> 00:43:10,070
But I genuinely wanted to
847
00:43:10,070 --> 00:43:11,190
help you too.
848
00:43:11,190 --> 00:43:12,360
You're just a liar,
849
00:43:13,150 --> 00:43:13,920
manipulating everyone
850
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:14,960
around you.
851
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:16,150
But I don't want to lie to you.
852
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:23,070
Alright.
853
00:43:23,070 --> 00:43:24,760
After Daoyan's matter is settled,
854
00:43:25,000 --> 00:43:26,630
we'll settle our score properly.
855
00:43:44,140 --> 00:43:49,580
♫ What is there to fear
in the haze of uncertainty ♫
856
00:43:51,220 --> 00:43:56,410
♫ In the heartbeat, there's a trace of light ♫
857
00:43:57,060 --> 00:44:04,140

revealing the fate that lies ahead ♫
