[The Sword and the Brocade]

[Episode 26]

They had such a big fight.

Why doesn't His Lordship divorce her?

Do you think the maid of the Luo family was lying?

I don't think so.

Many people of the Luo family witnessed that.

It's said that Her Ladyship made His Lordship furious.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have come back alone.

I'm just worried that His Lordship will forgive her again if it drags on any longer.

Madam, don't worry.

Now that Mingjing has left,

no one will link the death of late Her Ladyship to us.

Luo Shiyi will never be able to come back.

Sooner or later, His Lordship will divorce her.

A long delay may cause trouble.

I still can't feel at ease.

Looks like I have to give His Lordship a nudge.

Usually, I would ask the master of Xianling Pavilion

to make me a unique embroidery to go with this bracelet.

That would be the best.

Exactly.

What a pity.

I'm afraid we can't go to Xianling Pavilion any longer.

Why can't we? Did anything happen?

The news has been widely spread. You still haven't heard?

Madam Xu took in many refugees and trained them to be embroidery girls.

But in reality, she bullied those refugees under the name of Marquis Yongping.

The refugees created total chaos because of this.

Really?

It'll be hard for Xianling Pavilion to get back to business.

Furthermore, the good name of Marquis Yongping

will be destroyed completely.

[Mansion of Xu]

Marquis Yongping is also involved?

I know what kind of person the Marquis is.

And his wife doesn't seem to be a reckless woman.

What happened exactly?

The rumor has been spread everywhere.

This Luo Shiyi has made our Xu family a target of public censure.

Is it really Madam Xu who caused the trouble?

Sister, listen to me.

You have to fix this problem quickly.

If people with bad intentions distort the truth and report this to His Majesty,

your family will be in big trouble.

Of course, I know that.

But...

You mean our Xu family wronged her?

Marquis, how could you say that?

You are suspicious of Shiyi? You don't trust her?

I asked you to be here for one thing only.

[Divorce Agreement]

Take this Divorce Agreement back.

From now on, the Xu family will have nothing to do with the Luo family.

Marquis, are you really going to divorce Shiyi?

Xu Lingyi, don't think you can push around the Luo family!

How dare you?

That's wonderful.

Come on. Let's go to Banyuepan.

Listen carefully. Don't you come here again!

[Divorce Agreement]

Madam, His Lordship is divorcing Luo Shiyi.

Finally.

This day finally comes.

Zhun.

- Zhun, what are you doing?
- I want my mother. I want my mother.

You are such a willful kid.

That... That bad woman will come back no more.

And she's no longer your mother. Got it?

She won't... She won't leave me alone.

She will come back.

You are a bad woman.

You...

Zhun, I know you don't like me.

But I promise I will do my best to take care of you in the future. Okay?

Stop!

Here.

Are you hurt?

Thank you for your care, My Lord. I'm fine.

Zhun, don't be rude,

or I'll ground you for three days.

Father, I miss my mother.

Please go and get my mother back. Okay?

Don't mention that again.

She won't come back anymore.

Zhaoying, get a few servants later

to clear out the room.

My Lord.

Go.

Yes, My Lord.

Mother!

I want my mother!

- I want my mother!
- Zhun!

Zhun, how did you get here all of a sudden?

Take Zhun back.

- Yes.
- I want my mother!

Zhun, let's go.

- Mother!
- Zhun.

Zhun, let's go.

I want my mother!

Let me walk you back.

Thank you, My Lord.

Great Madam, the Xu family is so big.

There are many things to take care of.

You need someone to manage the household affairs.

The wife of the marquis shouldn't be vacant for long.

You watched Lianfang grow up.

As the legitimate daughter of the Qiao family,

she's a perfect match for the marquis.

Don't you think the legal wife position

should be...

I understand what you are saying.

It is a little unfair for Lianfang to be a concubine.

But legitimizing a concubine is against the rules.

People will criticize us if they find out.

Great Madam.

- I...
- But... we can find a way around it.

As soon as Lianfang is pregnant,

the two families can go to the palace

and ask His Majesty to grant her this favor.

That'll make things different.

But we have to be patient about this.

That's right. You are so right.

Absolutely. We need to be patient about this.

Great Madam, after talking to you about this thing,

I feel so relieved now.

Good. Good. Have some tea.

Great Madam really said so?

[Elegant and Fine Lady]
It's all truth.

When did I ever lie to you?

That's great.

As long as I'm pregnant, my dream will come true.

But we need to be patient about this

and plan it for the long term.

Mother, no worries.

I understand. I can wait.

Lately, His Lordship doesn't treat me as coldly as before anymore.

That day, he even walked me back worrying if I got hurt.

I just knew it.

There's no way that the marquis won't be interested in my daughter.

Turns out that Luo Shiyi was indeed my biggest stumbling block.

Now that she's gone, His Lordship treats me so differently.

My happy days have finally arrived.

[Elegant and Fine Lady[
Then you should seize the opportunity

and get pregnant as soon as possible.

Mother, don't worry.

Since His Lordship cares about me now,

getting pregnant will only be a matter of time.

Before long, I will become Marquis Yongping's wife.

But...

I found that the Luo family has been

looking for Mingjing's whereabouts recently.

It must be because Luo Shiyi doesn't want to give up.

She wants to find Mingjing to prove her innocence.

Mother, have you made the arrangement?

Mingjing has left the capital.

There shouldn't be any problem.

Mother, I'm still worried.

I think you should send someone to confirm again.

Better yet,

don't let him come back ever.

All right.

I'll send someone to confirm again.

I also ask a few people to keep an eye on the Luo family.

If there's anything wrong,

we can handle it in time.

Just rest assured and get ready to become

the marquis's wife.

I thought His Lordship would get Her Ladyship back.

I didn't expect that he'd actually divorce her.

Her Ladyship...

Wait, she shouldn't be called Her Ladyship anymore.

After all, Shiyi is just an illegitimate daughter.

If she were a legitimate daughter of the Luo family,

His Lordship wouldn't divorce her this easily.

So, what do you think will happen next?

What next?

Do you think Concubine Qiao will be legitimized?

I'm afraid that'll be against the rules.

How come?

Think about it. She even took Shiyi down.

There's nothing that she isn't capable of doing.

You mean Her Ladyship left because of her?

Are you stupid or what?

Didn't you see that?

Concubine Qiao has always tried to set Shiyi up.

Look at her.

In terms of Shiyi's fake pregnancy, she slandered her.

She cried so hard and threatened with her life.

In the end, she forced Great Madam to get rid of Shiyi.

But come to think of it,

Shiyi didn't blame Concubine Qiao for no reason.

The Qiao family and the Xu family are very close to each other.

Plus, Great Madam favors Concubine Qiao a lot.

Normally, when late Her Ladyship passed away,

Concubine Qiao should've replaced her.

Do you think in the future she will...

I...

If you talk nonsense again, I'll kick you out.

- How dare you slap me?
- Don't. Don't. Don't.

We are of equal status.

And I married into the Xu family earlier than you. You should call me sister.

How dare you kick me out?

You don't believe me?

Then let's wait and see.

Why are you hiding?

Actually, I should thank you

for making my life better.

What did she mean?

Why would she thank you?

I don't know.

It won't take long

before I become your legal wife.

I'll read poems

and dine with you.

I'll give birth to your children

and spend the rest of my life with you.

I'll be the only one in your eyes,

and I'll be the only one

you love.

My Lord,

I think you should get Her Ladyship back.

Even though Her Ladyship made a mistake,

you've never smiled again

ever since she left.

[Residence of Luo ]

Madam, your mother sent a letter to you.

Madam, what's wrong?

Mingjing is missing.

Last night, the people my mother sent

saw a carriage of the Luo family leave the capital secretly.

Unfortunately, they lost sight of the carriage on the way.

That should be the carriage for picking up Mingjing.

Then what should we do, Madam?

Go and tell my mother that what matters the most

right now is to find Mingjing as soon as possible.

Yes.

Mother, Shiyi is still young.

If you insist on kicking her out,

the rest of her life will be ruined.

All you can think about is your sister.

Have you ever thought about Zhun?

The Divorce Agreement ended years of in-law relationship

ended years of in-law relationship

between our family and the Xu family.

On whom can Zhun

rely on now in the Xu family?

Yes.

I understand your concern, Mother.

Out of sight and out of mind.

If you don't want to see her, you can send her to the suburb villa.

Maybe things can still turn around.

Fine.

Just send her there.

As long as I don't have to see her again.

First, a carriage left the capital secretly.

And now, Luo Shiyi went to the suburb villa.

No matter what, this thing feels quite suspicious.

It's highly possible that Mingjing is hiding in the suburb villa.

Then why wouldn't Luo Shiyi let him testify for her,

but hide him instead?

Mingjing wouldn't tell the truth easily.

Otherwise, he'd get himself involved, too.

Xiuyuan,

we'll go to the villa at 5:00 a.m. tomorrow.

If Mingjing is really hiding there...

My mother is too soft-hearted.

She let him live.

The villa is located in a remote place.

It won't be too hard to kill him.

It's really Mingjing.

Kill him.

- Do it.
- Come on.

Qiao Lianfang!

What are you doing?

Shiyi,

I wasn't going to kill you.

But since you are looking for death,

I'll satisfy you.

You tried so hard to get here to kill Mingjing,

which means it is you who murdered Yuanniang.

You are right.

I asked Mingjing to tamper with Yuanniang's medication.

I am the one who murdered Yuanniang.

So what, if you know?

How can you talk when you are dead?

Your Ladyship.

My... My Lord.

How...

How come you are here?

If you want to kill Mingjing,

I'm afraid you got the wrong person.

Madam, I'm sorry.

Linbo?

I cared about you and trusted you so much.

Even when you made mistakes,

I'd still give you a chance.

I can't believe that all your kindness

was just an act.

Yuanniang...

was actually killed by you.

And you didn't stop there.

You even wanted to kill Mingjing to cover your sin

so that you could frame Shiyi.

You lured me into your trap.

When did you start to set the trap for me?

Ever since the accident happened in Xianling Pavilion and Mingjing went missing,

I've sensed that you'd raised your guard.

But I didn't have any evidence,

so I had to trick you into making a confession.

That's why I pretended to confess

and put myself in the worst possible situation,

so that you would let your guard down

and think that your plan worked.

My Lord, back then, all the evidence was against her.

Why were you still willing to trust her?

Because I know what kind of person Shiyi is.

There must be something wrong.

So I visited the Luo family

and talked to Shiyi right after I got the news.

My Lord, you are really willing to trust me?

I've led the army for years.

I think I'm quite good at discerning people's nature.

I can tell who's wrong and who's right.

You are my wife.

I know what kind of person you are.

Even if everybody doubts you,

I'll still trust you.

Thank you, My Lord.

My Lord, Mingjing is missing.

The only way of making Qiao Lianfang admit her guilt

is to disrupt her plan and have her confess herself.

But... I need your help to make that happen.

If I'm right, I think Qiao Lianfang has also

bribed someone in the Luo family into helping her.

My Lord, would you like to put on a show with me?

We had a fight in the Residence of Luo

to let you believe that His Lordship and I were over.

When the time came, he would issue me a Divorce Agreement.

And we didn't expect that the time would come so quickly.

Madam Qiao maliciously spread the rumor and tried to worsen the situation.

It actually offered me a chance to issue the Divorce Agreement.
[Divorce Agreement]

So the Divorce Agreement was fake?

[Divorce Agreement]

I'll let them spread the news that Mingjing has been found by the Luo family.

And next, just ask Shiyi to go to the villa.

All right. I'll figure out a way.

I first sent a carriage to leave the capital,

and then I left for the villa myself

in order to have you believe

that I was hiding Mingjing in the suburb villa.

The moment you saw Mingjing,

you ordered to kill him,

making the truth revealed.

In order to deal with me,

you planned everything so carefully.

My Lord,

I also married you.

But for her, you deliberately deceived me.

That is so unfair.

You first murdered Yuanniang,

then repeatedly framed Shiyi

and lied to me and Mother.

Does that sound fair to you?

I...

You are actually blaming Lingyi?

Kid, it's all your fault.

Great Madam, I know it's my fault.

I know it.

But she...

Hasn't she done anything wrong?

Great Madam, don't forget

that it's Luo Shiyi who bullied the refugees

and ruined the good name of the Xu family.

You personally saw that, Great Madam.

At this point,

you are still trying to shift the blame.

Linbo, bring her in.

Who asked you to turn the embroidery girls against Shiyi and defame the Xu family?

It's... It's Madam Qiao.

She gave me 100 taels of silver

and asked me to abet the refugees

and stir up trouble.

Besides, it's also Madam Qiao who arranged those people

to buy the embroidery at a high price,

so as to destroy the reputation of the Xu family

and let Madam Xu take the blame.

In that case, Madam Xu would never be able to come back.

Turns out...

Turns out you were...

behind the whole thing.

For your own benefit,

you'd rather ruin our Xu family.

But you are also one of us.

Bring her in.

Confess.

When I was in charge of the Xishan Villa,

Concubine Qiao gave me money and asked me

to lure away Her Ladyship's guards

in order to find a chance to kidnap her.

And the dog that made Zhun sick.

It would get everybody who had close contact with it sick.

It's also... It's also Concubine Qiao

who asked me to bring it here.

So...

So you are responsible for all those things.

You are simply out of control.

That's right.

It's all me.

I did all those things.

My Lord. Great Madam.

How shall we punish Concubine Qiao?

Please advise.

Lingyi, it's up to you.

Qiao Lianfang poisoned Yuanniang

and caused her miscarriage and death.

She also repeatedly framed Shiyi.

She is gravely sinful and completely unforgivable.

According to our family rules, she'll be flogged 30 times

and then sent to the village to be a nun with hair.

She'll never be allowed to come back to the capital.

My Lord, this is...

Of course, I'd put some effort to welcome you back.

What do you think?

My Lord, you are so thoughtful.

I didn't know until today that you've been keeping it a secret for me

about me teaching in Xianling Pavilion.

Don't you mind it?

In the beginning, I also thought that women shouldn't show themselves in public.

But when I personally saw you

teach the refugees embroidery,

I knew that you sincerely wanted to help them.

I shouldn't stop you from doing that.

My Lord, I want to discuss something with you.

Because of me, Xianling Pavilion suffered a big loss.

I want to pay Master Jian compensation for the damage.

You decide.

If you don't have enough money,

you can go to Steward Bai.

My Lord, why are you so nice to me?

Because when you are happy,

I am happy, too.

Your Lordship. Your Ladyship.

General Fu sent a message,

saying that Concubine Qiao wants to see His Lordship,

and she wouldn't stop crying.

I guess she has something to say to you.

Tell her His Lordship will be there soon.

My Lord,

do you still remember that when I was ten,

my mother brought me to Xu family,

and I saw you play the zither in the yard.

By accident, I fell down.

To cheer me up,

you folded a big bunch of peach blossoms for me.

I was looking at you and thinking,

"You are so handsome.

When I grow up, I must marry you."

From then on, no one else could walk into my heart.

You like playing the zither,

so I learned it from all the famous teachers and practiced very hard.

When you went into battles, I was worried sick

and couldn't sleep every day.

That's how I loved you for over ten years.

If this is why you asked to see me,

you can stop now.

My Lord...

It's true that I murdered Yuanniang.

But Luo Yuanniang wasn't a good person anyway.

If it hadn't been for her,

how could I, a legitimate daughter

of the Qiao family, have ended up like this

and become a concubine?

Yes, I made mistakes.

But Luo Yuanniang and Shiyi colluded in setting me up.

Haven't they done anything wrong?

My Lord, why do you blame me only?

Hadn't you trespassed on the inner garden,

Yuanniang's plan wouldn't have worked.

You claim yourself as a legitimate daughter,

yet you don't even have the concept of avoiding arousing suspicion?

Besides, that was done by Yuanniang.

Shiyi had nothing to do with it.

In fact, Shiyi has never given you a hard time.

But you framed her over and over again.

You are such an evil woman.

But I did that for you.

Luo Yuanniang didn't understand you at all.

And Luo Shiyi is lowborn.

She doesn't deserve to be your wife.

I'm the only one...

I'm the only one who deserves to be your wife.

For you,

I can forget about my pride and dignity.

I've done so much for you.

Why do you still not understand my heart?

I've loved you for over ten years.

Why can't you accept me?

I'm the one who loves you

the most in this world.

Love is about mutual appreciation,

respect, trust, and compromise.

It cannot be forced or obtained by humbling yourself.

Even though you are a legitimate daughter,

your evil intentions have made you a heartless person.

Shiyi may be an illegitimate daughter,

but she gained our respect through her kindness and good heart.

It means the value of a person

doesn't depend on status, but nature.

For all this time,

you've never...

had any feelings for me?

Mother, I faked my pregnancy and lied to you.

I also taught the refugees embroidery in Xianling Pavilion behind your back,

almost ruining the good name of the Xu family.

I'd like to accept punishment.

You did those things for a reason.

I can't blame you.

It's my fault that I backed the wrong person

and made you suffer so much for no reason.

Lingyi, help Shiyi rise.

Here.

Thank you, Mother.

Please rise.

Mrs. Du.

This ruby head-ornament is my dowry.

Take it.

I hope it'll help to calm your nerves.

Mother, this is too valuable. I can't take it.

It's a great gesture from Mother.

Just take it.

Thank you so much, Mother.

Lingyi has told me what happened.

He knew everything, but he didn't tell me in case I'd get worried.

But, Shiyi, you are a marquis's wife.

It's inappropriate for you to show yourself in public like that.

I hope you can stay away from Xianling Pavilion from now on.

You should stay at home being a good wife and mother.

That's what women are supposed to do.

- Mo...
- Mother.

Shiyi's good deed of teaching refugees embroidery in Xianling Pavilion

has won wide praise in the palace.

Imperial consorts and concubines are all impressed by her kindness.

If Shiyi leaves now,

they may think that we did it only for fame when they find out.

In that case,

you can keep doing it for now.

But I need you to promise me one thing.

You must not make a profit for yourself by using Lingyi's power.

And you must not take advantage of the people and harm the reputation of the Xu family.

Can you promise?

Mother, rest assured.

I promise that I will not use His Lordship's power to make a profit for myself,

and I will not do anything that'll harm our Xu family.

Good.

Father-in-Law, please accept my apology.

Our Xu family misunderstood Shiyi.

Shiyi was wronged for no reason.

I did what I had to do on that day.

So I brought you gifts today to apologize to you.

Father, I was too thoughtless.

Sorry that I made you, Mother, Zhenxing, and my sister-in-law worried.

My Lord, never mind.

It's all because you and Shiyi understand and trust each other,

that Qiao Lianfang finally...

When Yuanniang was pregnant,

Qiao Lianfang

poisoned her medication and caused her death.

I failed in protecting her.

I'm willing to accept your punishment.

Yuanniang...

was murdered by Qiao Lianfang?

That's true.

The marquis said so himself.

Yuanniang...

was murdered?

What an awful sin.

I've been cunning for all my life,

but I've never thought

that my precious daughter

would be murdered by another scheming person.

Is it karma?

Your Ladyship, are you all right?

Your Ladyship!

Your Ladyship, are you okay?

Maybe she had a stroke.

Your Ladyship! Your Ladyship!

Great Madam, you watched Lianfang grow up.

You know her better than anybody else.

She... She was just confused.

Please give her another chance.

Please let her stay in the Xu family.

She can be a concubine or a slave, as long as you let her stay by your side

and serve you and the marquis,

so that she can atone for her sin.

I'm begging you, Great Madam.

If I give her another chance, what about Yuanniang?

What about my grandchild?

Who would give them another chance?

If she doesn't want to be a nun,

then she'll be sent to Shuntian Prefecture Office.

It's your choice.

Great Madam.

This is...

Lianfang.

Mother.

Lianfang.

This is not a place for humans to live.

Come on. Let me get you out of here.

Let's go.

If the Xu family go to Shuntian Prefecture Office and sue us,

we'll find a few people to take the blame.

Let's go.

Mother.

Please just let me stay.

Lianfang.

What's... What's wrong with you?

Don't scare me.

Lianfang.

Mother, I've striven for

the things I wanted.

And now,

I've found peace

and I want no more.

It's my fault.

I've been teaching you how to be scheming since you were little.

I'd do whatever it takes to get what you wanted.

But I forgot to tell you

that some obsession can be dangerous.

I thought I could protect you for a lifetime in that way.

But I didn't expect...

It's my fault.

It's all my fault, Lianfang.

Mother.

At this point, I won't blame anybody.

You've got to take good care of yourself.

I'm your only daughter.

And now, I can no longer care for you.

Your life will be even harder in the future.

Lianfang.

Lianfang!

Lianfang!
