[The Sword and the Brocade]

[Episode 43]

In the final analysis, it's my fault.

If I refused to take her as a concubine resolutely back then

and didn't put her to the test intentionally,

she might still be alive.

My Lord,

nobody can foretell things.

You are not to blame for this.

I was not in love with them.

But I accepted them as my concubines

for various reasons

and caused all these tragedies.

All these things are not up to you.

You can't force yourself to love them.

But I believe that you have done your best to take care of them.

The only thing I can do now

is to bury her decently.

My Lord, don't worry.

I will arrange personnel to handle Concubine Qin's funeral affairs properly.

She had given up her grudges in the end.

So I am sure that she can rest in peace.

My Lord, do you think Marquis Jingyuan will believe

the message from Concubine Qin?

Whether he believes it or not,

he will no longer trust Wang Jiubao.

We can't...

keep Wang Jiubao anymore.

Though we have been holding his wife and son as hostages,

we have been cooperating for so many years

and have had our separate needs met.

He didn't suffer losses.

Normally, he shouldn't have betrayed us suddenly.

If this is Xu Lingyi's stratagem of sowing discord,

your suspicion of Wang Jiubao will play into his hands.

The imperial court has been offering enlistment to Wang Jiubao for a long time.

Wang Jiubao is fully aware that

accepting the enlistment by the imperial court

will lead to unpredictable risks.

Surely, he won't surrender easily.

The problem now is that Shen Niang and her son

must have been brought to Wang Jiubao by Xu Lingyi.

Even if this is just Xu Lingyi's stratagem of sowing discord,

we have to be on guard.

It is better to take the initiative to gain the upper hand

than to be at a passive disadvantage.

If Wang Jiubao wants to save his own skin,

he will have no choice, but to pledge allegiance to the imperial court.

Then I guess you must have made relevant arrangements.

I have sent personnel to Fujian

to remind Wang Jiubao to take preventive measures.

Linbo has also been assisting them in secret.

There is no way for Marquis Jingyuan to accomplish his end.

[Rites]

Dongqing.

Why are you here?

Have you had the hairpin fixed?

I told you I want it to be as intact as a new one, haven't I?

This hairpin has such obvious cracks.

It is clear that you are not sincere.

Dongqing,

I caused the cracks to this hairpin.

But the cracks of my heart were caused by you.

Why are you so cheeky to say such cheesy words?

Dongqing,

please stop torturing me.

I want you to marry me.

I will spend the rest of my life

to mend the cracks of this hairpin, all right?

Do you sincerely want me to marry you?

Of course I do.

Except you, I don't want to marry any other woman.

If you don't marry me, I will become a monk.

I don't want you to be a monk.

Does this mean that you said yes to my proposal?

I didn't say that.

I didn't find you are so thick-skinned till now.

This is nothing. For you, I am even willing to die.

Don't talk nonsense!

It is late now.

I will be off.

Give this back to me.

Your Ladyship, I am leaving for Fujian.

Before I leave, I want to tell you something

that has been on my mind all along.

If not, I will not be able to leave with a peaceful mind.

I want to...

request you to allow me to marry Dongqing.

Dongqing, are you willing to marry Linbo?

It seems that Dongqing is not willing to. Then I think we'd better drop it.

Your Ladyship, I didn't say I was not willing to.

I am willing to marry him.

A grown girl can't be kept by your side.

Then I will give my consent to your marriage.

- Thank you, Your Ladyship! - Thank you, Your Ladyship!

From now on, you must treat Dongqing nicely.

Linbo is leaving for Fujian.

So today I will grant you a leave.

And you should bid farewell to him properly.

Yes, Your Ladyship.

Go do your things now.

Well, if I hadn't been forced to stay at home,

I would not have noticed such beautiful scenery at our house.

You have watched them for quite a while. Now go inside to have a rest.

Our baby is growing heavier in your tummy. So it is not good for you to stand for long.

Let's go.

Let's go inside.

Sit down.

Come on.

Taste this bowl of ewe's milk and Chinese yam congee.

We are not rich.

After I give birth to the baby, we will need more money to spend.

You shouldn't have spent money buying such luxurious stuff.

Shiyi sent someone to bring the ewe's milk early in the morning.

The Chinese yam didn't cost much.

If you like it, we can afford it.

I will be right back.

Master Qian.

What is the matter?

Is it that we are running out of money?

I am afraid that our money will be used up in a few days.

I have prepared Her Ladyship's three meals as you ordered.

Now Her Ladyship is going to give birth to a baby soon.

It is inevitable that our daily expenses have increased.

It is not time for the farm to harvest crops.

So we are spending money without earning any.

I didn't expect that we would not be able to make ends meet.

Should I go to the Xu family to borrow some money from Madam Xu again?

You can't lift someone out of chronic poverty.

It is not a good way in the long run

to always depend on the Xu family and the Luo family.

I am to blame.

I am a useless scholar who can't support his family.

Take this silver.

You mustn't let Wuniang know this matter,

or she will worry.

Whatever she likes to eat, you should buy them for her.

As for the money, I will manage to bring it home.

Okay.

Come to have a look!

Qian Ming.

Zhiyuan.

Why are you here?

I was going to your house to see you.

You want to see me?

What is the matter?

It is something great! Luck will turn in your favor.

How about this? I will give you a treat.

Let's talk as we drink. How do you like this idea?

- After you! - You first.

A few days ago, an elder brother of mine just returned from the South.

He said he has some old acquaintances in the South.

They are engaged in the embroidery business.

They need lots of embroideries.

I learned previously that you have a relative

who runs an embroidery workshop.

So after hearing this news, I came to see you immediately.

It is true.

My sister-in-law is running an embroidery workshop with a partner.

Well, since she is such a close relative, it will be an easy thing.

You don't know, Qian Ming.

The Southerners are very generous in business.

As long as a deal is closed, the profits will be handsome.

If you can have a share of them more or less,

you will have enough to spend in the coming two years.

- Really? - Of course.

Then it is really a great chance.

You can't afford to let this chance slip.

Many people will scramble for such a chance.

The earlier, the better.

If you can make up your mind now, Qian Ming,

I will go back right now to settle this matter with my brother.

Okay. Today, I will go to see my sister-in-law to talk about this matter.

Zhiyuan.

[Xianling Pavilion]

As long as you two agree, I will handle the other matters.

Of course, it is a great thing

to be able to expand our Xianling Pavilion's business to the South.

If we can really conclude this deal,

we will not only let the name of our Xianling Pavilion be known by more people,

but also bring benefits to more embroidery girls.

Why not go ahead with it?

The only problem is that now our Xianling Pavilion is not large-scaled enough.

I am afraid we are not capable of

producing as many embroideries as specified by the order in a short time.

We are thinking about scaling up our Xianling Pavilion, right?

Why don't we take this chance to set up a branch in Yuhang?

I know some embroidery girls over there.

I can ask them to help us to recruit highly skilled embroidery girls among the folks.

In this way, we will have no problem closing this deal.

This is a great idea!

Okay. Let's do it this way.

We have to trouble you to work as the middleman.

It's my pleasure, Shiyi.

This matter shouldn't be delayed.

I will go see my friend right now to nail this matter down.

Wait for my news, you two.

Take care on your way.

Be seated, Shiyi.

These days Wuniang is in great need of money.

If we can succeed in this deal,

her shortage of money will be less serious.

You are so nice to care so much about your sister.

Nonetheless, it is also a very good thing for Xianling Pavilion.

Now, we should start making preparations for opening up a branch.

We will be very busy in the coming days.

You will be happy doing things you like no matter how busy you are.

Exactly. I am thinking that after we open up the branch in Yuhang

and conclude this deal,

we should set up more branches in more places

to spread the craft of our Xianling Pavilion.

Maybe we will be able to help more people.

- Behave yourselves! - Did you hear?

Don't move!

What are you doing?

Sit down! What are you doing?

[Transaction Documents]

Report!

In the wooden cases, we found loads of embroideries from Xianling Pavilion in the capital.

We also searched them and found the transaction documents of Xianling Pavilion.

[Transaction Documents]

Report this matter to the imperial court immediately.

Yes!

Fujian Administration Commission submitted a memorial to the imperial court.

It says that Xianling Pavilion in the capital

is found to have colluded with the pirates in smuggling

and selling embroideries abroad without permission to make profits.

Both witnesses and material evidence have been obtained.

His Majesty was enraged after reading the memorial and gave the order

to have Xianling Pavilion seized.

And His Majesty has designated the three judicial offices

to investigate this case thoroughly.

Grand Secretary, could there be any kind of misunderstanding?

Though I have no knowledge about Xianling Pavilion's operation model,

I am sure that it has never colluded with the pirates.

Grand Secretary, Xianling Pavilion is the property of Marquis Yongping's wife.

I humbly think that Marquis Yongping should

be required to stay out of this case.

Grand Secretary, when smuggling is rampant,

the imperial court will be short of sources of tax revenue.

It is like a human who lacks vital energy and blood.

Such an illegal act undermining the foundation of our state calls for severe punishment.

Therefore, His Majesty has issued an imperial edict

to pick up the owner of Xianling Pavilion.

Marquis Yongping, this matter concerns the foundation of our state.

You mustn't bend the laws for your wife.

Go inside!

Hurry!

Who is the owner here?

Officer, I am the owner of Xianling Pavilion.

What is this for, Officer?

Xianling Pavilion colluded with the pirates to smuggle embroideries.

All of you must come with us.

Whoever resists will be killed.

Well, could there be any misunderstanding in this?

Do you know this is the property of Marquis Yongping's wife?

She can't help you.

She herself will be apprehended, too.

Take them away!

You!

You can't catch people arbitrarily!

- Officer! - Officer!

- Master Jian. - Could there be any misunderstanding?

Officer!

Master Jian, please go.

[Mansion of Xu]

Marquis. [A fair place produces outstanding people.

- My Lord. - Shiyi.

Please forgive us, Marquis. We are doing our job by order.

Have they hurt you?

I am fine. My Lord, I didn't...

I know. Believe me.

I am with you.

I won't let you be wronged.

Listen up, all of you!

There is still no verdict on this case.

If anyone dares to hurt my wife a bit...

Marquis, we dare not hurt Madam Xu.

Madam Xu, please come with us.

[Mansion of Xu]

What should we do?

Wuniang! Wuniang!

Wuniang!

[Virtue of Purity and Nobility]

Wuniang! Wuniang!

What's troubling you?

Why are you so panic-stricken?

Xianling Pavilion was accused of colluding with pirates to smuggle embroideries.

It has been seized.

What?

I went to see Qin Zhiyuan just now.

Someone said that he had been promoted to an official position of Fujian.

He has no scholarly honor or official rank. Theoretically, this shouldn't have happened.

I am afraid... I am afraid that Marquis Jingyuan used me with the help of Qin Zhiyuan.

[Virtue of Purity and Nobility]

- Come! Take away Qian Ming. - Hurry to go to the Xu family to see Marquis Yongping!

Take away Qian Ming.

What is going on?

Hurry to go to the Xu family to see Marquis Yongping!

- Hurry to go to the Xu family to see Marquis Yongping! - Why are they arresting you?

Hurry up!

Your Ladyship. Your Ladyship, are you all right?

What should we do, Your Ladyship?

The Xu family.

Let's go to the Xu family.

Your Ladyship, be careful.

[Mansion of Xu]

It is true that Qian Ming acted as the go-between

in the trade of the batch of confiscated embroideries.

But he said that he had fallen into Marquis Jingyuan's trap.

And Marquis Jingyuan cheated him with the help of his classmate Qin Zhiyuan.

Marquis Jingyuan. It is his scheme again!

My Lord, Duke Wei is here.

Duke, how are things now?

I have sent personnel to check it out.

Now the evidence obtained by the Ministry of Justice

are the embroideries of Xianling Pavilion

and the transaction documents as well as seals.

The witnesses are the pirates caught on the spot.

The testimony of the pirates proves that

Xianling Pavilion had really gotten involved in smuggling. The evidence is conclusive.

What is His Majesty's attitude toward this?

I am afraid that His Majesty is now suspicious of you.

So he ordered the three judicial offices to try this case jointly

and make strict investigations pursuant to laws.

But there are still a few days to go

before the joint trial of the three judicial offices starts.

We still have a chance to find out the truth.

Then... Then Qin Zhiyuan will be a crucial factor.

But he is in the faraway Fujian now.

I am worried that we won't be able to find him before the joint trial starts.

I have contacts in Fujian.

I will ask them to find Qin Zhiyuan.

I must have him brought to the capital even if resorting to kidnapping.

My husband and I are to blame for this.

We caused Shiyi to fall into a bad person's trap.

Marquis, my husband did this to feed and clothe our baby and me.

If not so, as a scholar, he wouldn't have engaged in business.

He didn't do such a thing purposefully.

I know. I will definitely get them out of the prison.

Don't worry.

Thank you, Marquis!

It is the prison.

How could Shiyi

put up with the sunless and fettered days in it?

Might she suffer corporal punishment in it?

Thinking of this,

I feel short of breath

due to worry.

Don't worry too much, Mother.

I will manage to visit Shiyi.

With I being Shiyi's husband,

I bet they dare not act recklessly.

Our Xu family has always been sticking to integrity and uprightness.

How come Shiyi got framed for smuggling inexplicably?

It is obvious that Marquis Jingyuan tried to hurt us.

Even if we keep lying at home, trouble will come to us.

The Ou family has been eyeing us menacingly

and trying to undermine our power all along.

They went too far in bullying us!

Sooner or later, we have to settle our accounts with the Ou family.

But I feel sad to see Shiyi suffer.

I have sent people to investigate this case and to look for evidence.

I believe that in a few days, news will come.

Marquis Jingyuan is a sly fox.

Whatever it takes, I will not allow his conspiracy to succeed.

[Prison] You can't go in, Marquis Yongping.

Please don't make it hard for me.

What's your motive for forbidding My Lord to see his wife?

Marquis Yongping.

Official Li, I want to go in to visit my wife.

Please bend the rules a bit.

I can understand your feelings,

but this case involves you, Marquis Yongping.

Please think twice.

Such being the case, I will not make it hard for you, Official Li.

But I request you to be impartial and just as usual,

and distinguish between truth and falsehood when you try this case.

That is the working style of our Ministry of Justice all the time.

You need not worry, Marquis Yongping.

I am wronged!

- Hurry! Hurry! - I am wronged.

Go inside! [Prison Guard]

Move quickly!

Hurry up!

Go inside!

I wonder where my brother-in-law and our embroidery girls are imprisoned.

I am sorry to have implicated you.

This is not your fault.

Don't mind it.

Something must have gone wrong.

Our Xianling Pavilion has never done any illegal things.

As long as the truth of this case is revealed, we will be set free.

I am afraid that this matter is not so simple.

As is known to all, I am the owner of Xianling Pavilion.

If they don't have solid evidence, how did they dare to do this to us?

Well. You mean that...

I am afraid that this deal is a conspiracy against me

and our Xu family.

Could...

Teacher, if they ask you,

you only need to say that I handle this matter all by myself

and you know nothing about it.

[Prison Guard]

The minister will interrogate the prisoner. You, come out!

Remember what I said.

Shiyi!

Shiyi!

[Prisoner]

Luo Shiyi, Xianling Pavilion smuggled embroideries into overseas countries.

Who is behind this?

Did you act on Xu Lingyi's instigation?

I have told you that I have been doing legitimate business

and haven't got involved in smuggling.

My husband has never had a hand in any affairs of Xianling Pavilion.

Official, I don't know what purpose you want to achieve

by charging my husband with such a crime.

Mind your words!

In the smuggling ship, the embroideries of Xianling Pavilion were found.

Also, the pirates testified that they did business with you

with Qian Ming being the middleman.

Now we have both witnesses and material evidence.

How dare you still resort to sophistry!

You are the wife of Marquis Yongping.

How could he stay aloof from this?

Hurry and confess.

Someone has framed me deliberately.

Official, please judge wisely.

Total rubbish!

Marquis Jingyuan is here.

What has brought you here?

Have you got her confession?

If you find it difficult to do this job, no need to say anymore.

I dare not.

Back then, you even saved my life in Fujian.

I am not an ingrate.

But...

Have you met difficulty in handling this case?

Though I have witnesses and material evidence,

Luo Shiyi asserted categorically that she's been framed

and refused to admit to her crime.

In your opinion, can a woman like her be capable of

a major event like smuggling?

Just as your theory about this case suggests,

if the smuggling thing is real,

it is absolutely impossible for her to be the wire puller.

It is very likely that

Marquis Yongping is the mastermind behind the scenes.

I used to think that he devoted himself to the state,

so he was kind of respectable to me.

If he has breached the laws of the imperial court for personal gains,

I will do all in my power to eliminate him.

His Majesty relies heavily on Xu Lingyi.

If you can't drag a confession out of his wife Luo Shiyi this time

and can't convict him,

nobody can ensure that in the days to come,

His Majesty will not show leniency towards him.

Don't worry, Marquis Jingyuan.

Whether for personal reasons or for the sake of the state,

I will go to all lengths to close this case.

Good!

I just want to see in you, this spirit of working selflessly for public interests.

Bring another prisoner here.

Shiyi!

If you want to know anything, just ask me.

- Shiyi! - Master Jian has nothing to do with this.

Shiyi!

Teacher!

Smuggling is a grave crime.

If you confess honestly, maybe I can give you a light sentence.

I will ask you the question again.

Did Xu Lingyi direct Xianling Pavilion to smuggle the embroideries?

I have told you that

we concluded the deal

with the businessmen engaged in legitimate business.

About other matters,

I have no knowledge at all.

Then, how can you explain

[Transaction Documents] the transaction documents we obtained from the pirates?

On these documents, there are clearly the seals of Xianling Pavilion.

I handle this deal all by myself.

Marquis Yongping and his wife

have nothing to do with it at all.

It is apparent that you and Luo Shiyi are business partners.

How could you say the deal has nothing to do with them?

Moreover, as a woman, how could you make contact with the pirates?

Under such circumstances, you still refuse to repent.

Official Li, look at her...

Drag her away.

I will interrogate her some other day.

Yes.

Teacher.

Teacher.

How could they torture you so cruelly?

It is my fault.

I have dragged you into this.

You should blame me.

Shiyi, don't say this.

I have been living my life

in a lonely and wretched way.

But you brought me much happiness

and you also made it possible for me to realize

my unrealistic aspirations.

My heart is filled up with

gratitude to you.

Teacher, stop speaking. Get some rest.

Don't worry.

I have said that I handled the deal by myself.

You have...

Teacher.

You have nothing to do with it.

Why did you say that?

Haven't we agreed that you would say you know nothing about it?

Silly girl.

In my heart, you are not only my student,

but also my family.

How can I do nothing and see you get stuck in prison?

You must stay alive

and pass down our craft of embroidery.

Only in this way, can you help more people.

I will. I will.

Teacher, hold on.

Xianling Pavilion needs you and I need you.

You must hang in there.

I am fine.

Teacher. Teacher.

Have you heard of it?

Xianling Pavilion has been seized.

It belongs to the wife of Marquis Yongping.

[Bucket Rice] Who had the guts to do that?

It is said that Xianling Pavilion colluded with pirates in smuggling.

[Grain] Even the wife of Marquis Yongping has been apprehended by the Ministry of Justice.

Really?

Yes, really.

No wonder recently, rumors have been circulating everywhere

saying that the wife of Marquis Yongping got into trouble.

Yes, indeed.

Let go of me!

Tell me whether my husband was killed by Ou Yanxing and Xu Lingyi.

Tell me!

Young Master, something bad happened.

Your sister-in-law has had Lady Amber caught and brought to our mansion.

- Where is she? - In the firewood room.

You still won't come clean?

If you continue remaining silent,

your beautiful face may be scratched.

Stop him!

I know you work for Lixing.

But I suggest you make clear who will be the master of our Ou family in the future.

From now on, if anybody dares to cause Amber any trouble,

I will not let him off.

Mr. Ou.

What are you doing? Stand up quickly.

Mr. Ou, now Her Ladyship is locked up in prison.

You know her personality.

She must have been framed.

I beg you to save her.

How can I not know that Shiyi has been framed?

I especially inquired about this matter just now.

Now, the authorities have got both witnesses and material evidence.

To get Shiyi acquitted of the crime,

we must try hard to figure out a way.

Her Ladyship has never made enemies in normal days.

So I think it is very possible that

your father has framed her.

Mr. Ou, I am afraid that now you are the only person who can save Her Ladyship.

Impossible.

- Mr. Ou. - It can't be him.

I know this is hard for you.

But be it smuggling or colluding with pirates,

they are felonies that can result in the death penalty.

We can't do nothing and watch Her Ladyship get killed.

Don't worry.

If my father really did such a bad thing,

I won't sit watching.

Grand Secretary, please be aware of this.

Someone has meticulously orchestrated this case to frame Xianling Pavilion purposefully.

This person's aim is to frame our Xu family through Xianling Pavilion.

About this case,

both witnesses and material evidence have been obtained.

The evidence is irrefutable.

Even if what you said is true and your wife has been framed

and wronged, without evidence,

how could you make His Majesty and all officials believe that?

Lingyi, you always stay loyal to His Majesty and care about people.

And you are always an upright and incorruptible official.

I believe that you are not involved in this case.

You have good judgment.

This case was elaborately orchestrated.

So it is not easy to find the loopholes of the opponent.

But all conspiracies have flaws.

As long as His Majesty and Grand Secretary Chen can grant me some time,

I will surely find evidence

to prove the innocence of Xianling Pavilion and my wife.

In the coastal regions,

the criminal activities of pirates are rampant.

It has been disturbing His Majesty a lot.

So His Majesty thought of offering enlistment to them.

His Majesty entrusted you with this matter.

Though His Majesty didn't make his thoughts explicit,

to get rid of the trouble caused by the pirates,

His Majesty...

is more and more inclined to lift the sea ban.

As for lifting the sea ban,

it will be best to have His Majesty and your support.

But to lift the sea ban concerns the ancestral policy.

Thus, there must be someone who overrides all objections

to push it forward.

You are the most suitable candidate.

But now, once your wife is convicted, you will be implicated.

If you get into trouble,

how can you promote the lifting of the sea ban?

So I hope you can bear the big picture in mind

and not let His Majesty down.

What do you mean by saying this, Grand Secretary?

This is the memorial for you to state you will divorce your wife.

[Divorce Agreement Memorial] You only need to submit it

at the joint trial of the three judicial offices

and to state publicly that you have nothing to do with the smuggling

and your wife is to blame for all.

So you decide to divorce her and drive her out of your Xu family.

Then your problem will be solved easily.

If I really submit this memorial,

I am afraid I will become a person guilty of perfidy.

Lingyi, I just don't want to see

your effort over all the past years go down the drain.

Now success is just around the corner.

You mustn't lose the greater for the less.

This is also His Majesty's thought.

♫ It was late into the night I started missing you again ♫

♫ I closed my eyes ♫

♫ I thought of the old days ♫

♫ The past whispered in my ear, but you couldn't hear it ♫

My Lord, Warden Jiang has sent a message.

It says that Master Jian was severely tortured

and badly injured.

This is obviously extorting confessions by torture.

How about Shiyi? How is she?

Official Li didn't torture Her Ladyship.

Entrusted by you, My Lord. Warden Jiang also helped Her Ladyship in secret.

So Her Ladyship is fine and safe for the time being.

Go ask for Warden Jiang's help to deliver some medication to Master Jian.

Yes, My Lord.

My Lord, there is another thing.

Our people in Fujian have sent back a message.

Did they find him?

When they got to the place, Qin Zhiyuan was found dead.

It suggests that Marquis Jingyuan was prepared for this in advance.
