[The Autumn Ballad]

[Episode 3]

Stop running!

[Hall of Insight]

Will you really not write anymore?

If I didn't say so, how would I persuade General He?

Master, someone wants to meet you.

She said she's your drinking buddy.

My "drinking buddy"?

I'm going to He Manor because I have no other choice.

But I want to take the opportunity to resolve the doubt in my heart.

How exactly did He Feng die?

"He Feng"?

Didn't he die because...

Because I jinxed him?

Do you think that, too?

I may be born with low status, but I don't believe

that my existence caused a healthy man to suddenly spit blood and die.

So you mean...

He Feng had been sick all along,

but He Family kept it secret?

My parents suspect it, too.

But we can't prove it.

So we could only let it end unsettled.

So you go to He Manor because you want to find evidence?

The current situation is unfavorable for me.

But as long as I'm alive and still breathing, I won't give up.

Do they want me to submit? Over my dead body.

You are determined and unwavering.

I admire that.

What exactly do you need me to do?

I bought these tools at a hefty price from the Fengjing Prefecture Coroner.

These past few days, I hung around that place,

secretly listening how to perform an autopsy.

Just leave it to me later.

Just to make it clear now, no need to thank me.

A gentleman keeps his word.

Since I promised to aid you, I will help to the end.

We don't have much time. Let's hurry and start.

Catch it! Don't move!

The cat is down there! Don't move!

The cats are running everywhere!

The cat ran away!

Hurry, hurry! It climbed up.

Quickly inform Master and Madam! Young Master has regained consciousness.

Okay.

The show has finally started.

What do you mean, my lord?

You simpleton.

You stay here.

Master!

Master, Miss Yan. Lord Liang is heading this way.

Qing Dai and the maids are coming, too.

I'll go stop Liang Yi.

You and Bei Xue, clean this place up. Hurry! Hurry!

- Clean it up.
- All right.

Help, Lord Liang!

Save me! Lord Liang, save me!

Lord Liang, rescue me! Help!

Lord Liang, save me! Lord Liang!

Lord Liang, I...

Lord Liang, s-save me.

Thank you for saving me, Lord Liang.

What are you up to this time?

I was really sad just now, and I felt dizzy.

I came here for some fresh air. Who knew I'd get more light-headed?

Then I fell in the pond. Thank goodness you came just in time.

You really don't hold back, do you?

I'm unsure that

I understand what you mean, Lord Liang.

My lord, you should hurry and change your clothes.

If you catch a cold, I will really-

No need!

I heard a ruckus at the mourning hall. I think I should take a look.

Hey, my lord! Your murderous aura is too strong.

You shouldn't visit the mourning hall in the middle of the night.

"Murderous aura"? It's just you and me right now.

Do you still want to use this script to deceive?

You pretended to fall in the pond and pulled me in

because you're purposefully stalling,

right?

When the wild cats appeared, the candles in front of the altar went out.

Young Madam worried it would disturb Brother He.

She told servants to chase the cats away.

Fortunately, Brother He is blessed.

Coupled with Young Madam who copied scriptures the last few days,

the wild cats scattered before any mishaps.

- Uncle He.
- Lord Liang.

Madam.

Lord Liang! Lord Liang.

Lord Liang, are you all right?

Lord Liang.

Young Madam, why are you drenched?

I felt light-headed just now

and wanted to get some fresh air by the pond.

I slipped into the pond.

Lord Liang tried to help, but I dragged him into the water.

Thankfully, the water isn't deep, and Lord Liang wasn't hurt.

Look, Madam, Lord Liang is all wet.

Quickly take Lord Liang to get changed.

Lord Liang's well-being is of utmost importance.

How could he have a mishap due to our daughter-in-law? Hurry!

Yes, Madam.

I'll take my leave.

Qiu Yan, why are you just standing there?

Hurry and go change.

Yes.

[He Manor]

Are you going to tell me yourself,

or do I have to ask you?

Lord Liang, what are you talking about?

Last night, did you and Qin Xuan secretly pry open He Feng's coffin?

Nonsense!

I suggest you think before you speak.

It won't be hard for me to prove it.

I just have to order to open the coffin

and see any signs of an autopsy.

How did you know?

You mentioned "murderous aura."

You diverted my attention for your mischief at the mourning hall.

I kindly let you because I wanted to catch you in the act.

But in a rush, you still left traces of tampering on He Feng's coffin.

Lord Liang tried to help, but I dragged him into the water.

Thankfully, the water isn't deep, and Lord Liang wasn't hurt.

Look, Madam, Lord Liang is all wet.

Since you are so sure of your judgment,

you could have reported me.

Why did you choose to meet me in private?

The one good thing about you is you get straight to the point.

I want to know what you two found after opening the coffin.

If I tell you,

will you help me keep it secret?

Perhaps.

But I must remind you that you have no choice.

If you don't tell me, I'll instantly report to General He that you opened the coffin.

He Feng didn't die from sickness.

And he surely wasn't jinxed by me;

instead, he was poisoned.
[In remembrance]

General and Madam He clearly knew the truth,

but they still used me to cover it up and avoid family scandal.

Who is the killer?

We don't know yet.

But I found this in He Feng's hand.

I think he's holding something in his left hand.
[In remembrance]

On our wedding day, his left hand was clenched the whole time.

- I'll help you.
- I can't unclench it. Hurry.

A copper coin?

And there's only half of it.

This is a love token between a couple.

There should be another half.

The two halves will make a complete coin.

If that's the case, it means He Feng had a lover before marrying me.

Although he held the red silk on our wedding day,

he was actually holding the love token of someone else.

I think you're the most pitiable bride in the world.

No, I should be happy.

He Feng had a secret lover. This is also a clue.

But I know nothing about He Feng's past.

Where should I start to investigate?

If I were you, I'd start with his personal maid.

That makes sense.

Finding evidence is key.

Otherwise, your suspicion will remain just that.

So what if there is evidence?

As long as you show me evidence, I'll get you justice.

You...

Why are you suddenly helping me?

As you claim, He Feng died of poison,

and General He tried to hide the truth.

Not only did he use you, but also deceived me.

More importantly, he duped Crown Prince and Emperor.

There's one more thing.

I went and looked at Jingyun Convent.

Only after visiting, I found what the term "Jingyun Convent"

really meant to a woman.

So I admit sending you to Jingyun Convent to be a nun

was inconsiderate of me.

I also shouldn't have swapped out your gift for Noble Consort Guo.

So I want to make up for my mistakes.

My presence in He Manor is too obvious.

I can't interfere.

Whether or not you find evidence,

be it eyewitness or material proof,

will depend on your luck.

Do you want to see Feng'er's personal maid?

I never had a chance to get to know Husband He.

I feel bad about it.

I'd like to learn more about his past by talking with his maid.

Then I can reminisce when I pray at the temple later.

I'm afraid I can't agree to this.

You probably don't know this.

Feng'er's personal maid is called Yue Ying.

They grew up together.

Now that Feng'er has passed away, that girl wants to be buried with him.

We pitied her for being so loyal

and couldn't bear to refuse her request.

Until Feng'er's burial, she asked

to live in the rear court and won't meet any outsiders.

Even we don't go to disturb her.

Miss Yue Ying is deeply affectionate.

- Could I-
- Young Madam.

If you're here for morning greeting, focus on that.

Madam already made it very clear;

do not mention it again.

Qiu Yan,

presently, just focus on copying scriptures

and rest your mind to pray for Feng'er.

As for other matters,

no need to ask about them.

Yes.

Let me out! I'm begging you!

Stop wailing.

You really think you're the young lady?

If Madam hears, you'll get another beating.

Miss, I don't think we could get inside easily.

Don't you find it really weird?

A loyal maid mourning her master's death

is usually well cared for by the household.

She could even be accepted as a goddaughter to honor her master.

But why is He Family treating her like a criminal?

Madam, look.

After greeting you this morning, Young Madam was sneaking around.

Madam said no one is allowed to disturb Miss Yue Ying.

Young Madam, you are openly disobeying Master and Madam's order.

Qiu Yan, are you being a little too curious about our family matters?

Madam, you've misunderstood.

I've been thinking a lot about Husband He's life.

I wanted to take a look at his study, but I got lost.

You're lying. If you wanted to go to his study, why didn't you ask me?

It's obvious you're the one who always yells at my lady.

Is it our fault for being wary of you?

Qing Dai, don't be rude to Sister Chun Xing.

It's all my fault.

I miss Husband He.

I hope you'll allow me to go to his study

to take some relics with me to Jingyun Convent.

The days ahead are long.

The relics will remind me of him.

Then Husband He and I wouldn't have married in vain.

This is my Young Master's study.

Young Madam, please come in.

Miss, what is this?

This is by Tang Dynasty poet, Bai Letian, titled "Song of Eternal Regret."

It tells the story of Tang Dynasty Emperor Ming and Noble Consort Yang.

"Eternal Regret"?

What caused regrets?

Young Madam.

Young Master's literary works will be made into a book

as a memoir; you can't take them.

This paperweight looks very unique.

I'm guessing Husband He used it often.

- This paperweight does look-
- Master gifted that to Young Master.

If you want to take it, you'll have to ask Master first.

The stamp is made from Huangtian stone (rare soapstone). It's priceless.

Young Master treasured it a lot.

I'm afraid it's inappropriate for Young Madam to take it.

Don't take any of it.

Who is the Master and who is the servant?

Sister Chun Xing, although you serve Madam,

you seem to know a lot about my husband.

I serve both Madam and Young Master.

Naturally, a servant must know all about one's master.

This inkstone isn't made of anything special.

It will come in handy when I copy scriptures every day.

Or is there another reason why you wish to keep it, Sister Chun Xing?

That's enough.

The inkstone is fine.

No need to pick anything else.

More important is to go and copy scriptures.

Thank you, Madam.

Chun Xing, serve Young Madam well.

Yes.

I will do my best to serve Young Madam.

Sister Chun Xing,

there's no more ink. Can you bring some more?

If anyone, you should go.

Madam asked me to serve Young Madam, not you.

[True Record of Shunzong (Emperor 11 of Tang Dynasty)]

[In remembrance]

Which scripture is Young Madam copying all day?

It's the Ksitigarbha Sutra, Lord.

[Today, in He Feng's study]

[I found "Song of Eternal Regret," which he often copied.]

[My assumption was right. He Feng did have another lover.]

Marquis and Young Madam, have some tea while you chat.

Thank you, Sister Chun Xing.

I don't drink Liu'an tea (green tea from Liu'an Prefecture).

I shall bother you to brew me some Emei Snow Bud tea (green tea from Sichuan).

But...

If Sister Chun Xing doesn't want to do it,

then I can go.

Lord Liang is our guest; we can't be rude.

I'll do it. Young Madam, stay in the mourning hall.

You must not leave.

Please wait, Marquis.

Who is He Feng's lover?

He Feng's personal maid, Yue Ying, is suspicious.

According to He Family, Yue Ying wants to be buried with her master.

But from what I saw, it's not Yue Ying's wish.

Yue Ying clearly knows something,

but she is closely watched, and outsiders can't meet her.

Then think about it.

Who could He Feng love?

Who would have a motive and chance to poison him?

Are you saying...

the answers to these questions may be the same person?

The one who satisfies both conditions...

can be only Yue Ying.

Yes.

Madam He said Yue Ying grew up with He Feng.

Very likely they developed feelings for each other

and secretly pledged to marry.

But He Feng was forced to marry me by his parents' order.

Then overcome with bitterness, Yue Ying poisoned He Feng on the wedding day.

The parents know the truth.

So they are forcing Yue Ying to be buried with He Feng.

But in order to keep the family scandal private, they said I jinxed him to death.

Lord Liang, in this case, all of it makes perfect sense.

But what you've said is merely your own baseless assumption.

True.

Seems I must meet with Yue Ying.

If He Family purposely hides this servant girl,

I'm afraid it won't be easy for you to meet her.

Indeed.

I asked the He parents about it once, but they swiftly rejected it.

Looks like, if I want to meet Yue Ying,

I need to find someone who won't reject me.

Are you talking about me?

Rest assured, Lord Liang.

I don't dare trouble you over such a trivial matter.

I already have someone in mind.

Is the He family dealing with a beggar?

The master's food is worse than the servant's!

Did you think this is Qiu Manor?

Your Young Lady is now He Family's daughter-in-law.

As per He Manor rules, a daughter-in-law must eat this.

Dinner is served four hours late.

All dishes are already cold.

Is this also a He Manor way to treat the master?

What master?

The moment you arrived, Young Master was jinxed to death.

As the legal wife, she isn't ashamed of her humble origin,

she even boasts about being the master?

How shameless!

You've stepped out of line!

Yes. What about it?

I'm deliberately provoking you.

If you don't want to cause trouble for your master,

then be good and endure it.

You hit me?

I've been at He Manor over 10 years.

Not even Madam lifted a single finger against me!

You provoked me numerous times, yet I let it go.

But if you bully my servant, you're asking to be hit!

- I...
- I'm going to tell Madam!

- Stop!
- Let her go.

I'd like to find out, according to He Manor rules,

how many times the Young Madam must get hit for slapping a servant.

Qiu Yan, don't think you can threaten me with the rules.

I may not be able to openly do anything,

but you think I can't deal with you in the shadows?

If I were to stay here permanently as the daughter-in-law,

your words may scare me a little.

Unfortunately, once He Feng is buried, I won't be at He Manor.

If you want to deal with me in the shadows,

come find me at Jingyun Convent.

Qiu Yan, just you wait.

This isn't over!

[He Manor]

[In remembrance]

I asked you to look after only one thing.

How could you have lost it?

Miss, I've searched the house many times.

I didn't find it.

I really don't know where it might be.

I would have let it go if the item was mine,

but that inkstone was my husband's relic.

Now it's gone. How do I explain it to his parents?

If they pursue the matter,

I'd be guilty of disrespecting my late husband.

You've finally returned.

What are you two doing?

Of course, we're here to catch you red-handed.

You stole He Feng's inkstone, didn't you?

You're the one who lost Young Master's relic.

You're desperate because you can't explain it to Master and Madam. Now you want to frame me.

You claim I stole the inkstone?

Then call people to search my room.

Of course, you wouldn't hide the inkstone in your room.

If I guessed correctly,

what you just put under this mat was the pawn ticket for the inkstone.

It's useless. The pawn ticket can be destroyed.

But you can't kill the pawnshop's assistant, right?

We'll call the pawnshop assistant over to talk,

and we'll know if the inkstone is in his pawnshop.

I...

I wasn't stealing for money.

I know.

Because I slapped you last night,

you want me to suffer for disrespect of in-laws.

You vent your anger.

"Last night"?

So you purposely made me angry?

You set me up.

I guess you're not too stupid.

Of course.

You could've thrown the inkstone

in some unknown spot outside the residence

so it would never be found again.

However...

you like He Feng.

Of course, you wouldn't have the heart to toss away He Feng's belongings.

So...

the pawnshop was your only choice.

Once I become a nun, you can then secretly redeem He Feng's relic

and keep it for yourself.

How did you know I liked-

You were being too obvious.

Since you started serving me, I've noticed an unusual animosity from you.

When we were at his study, you seemed to know every detail about He Feng's items.

You wore your heart and attitude openly.

If I hadn't baited you with his relic,

it would've insulted your infatuation.

Why did Master and Madam force Young Master to marry you?

You're a wicked woman.

I only met He Feng one time.

There was no love between us.

I feel no guilt for not wanting to be buried with him.

No need to even mention being ashamed.

You think you love him very much.

But what have you done for him? What right do you have to blame me?

I've never met such a callous woman as you.

Now I really like that description.

Listen to me. I'm giving you two choices.

One, you'll hand this pawn ticket over to Master and Madam.

Then you'll be kicked out.

Madam has always adored me.

Are you that confident?

If there weren't outsiders at He Manor,

I wouldn't be this confident.

But Marquis Wei Yuan is present.

In front of an outsider, I'm afraid Madam He

won't have liberty to excuse a servant who stole from her master.

Unless she wants people to think this household is too lenient.

Then...

then what's the second option?

[Hall of Insight]

Sister Chun Xing, how come you're delivering the food today?

It's getting warmer. Madam wanted me to bring Yue Ying a new blanket

to prevent her from being unkempt and delaying the important event.

Open the door.

Yes.

Go. Make the bed for Sister Yue Ying.

Be quick.

Yes.

Lock the door.

Miss Yue Ying.

Young Madam?

Do you know me?

I met you once at Young Master's wedding.

It's good that you recognize me.

Miss Yue Ying.

It's not your wish to be buried, right?

No. It is my wish.

Young Master was always kind to me.

It's right I follow him in death. It's unrelated to others.

Your door is locked, and guards are patrolling.

If it's your own wish, why must people guard you?

I wanted to reflect by myself.

Madam protected me so I'm not disturbed by others.

Is this how Madam protects you?

Young Madam.

I've accepted my fate. What are you trying to do?

Please don't force me.

You poisoned He Feng, didn't you?

I also know that He Feng loved you.

Since he was marrying me, you felt betrayed and killed him.

He Feng's parents found out about it afterward, tortured you

and forcefully will bury you with him, right?

Yue Ying, I can help you.

Young Madam, stop forcing me. I deserve to die.

You're not helping me like this; you're harming me.

I know you've been beaten scared by them and won't dare tell the truth.

I'll straightforward tell you.

I'm not noble and helping you for nothing.

Now, He Family set that I jinxed He Feng to death.

They want me to go and be a nun.

You and I face the same predicament.

Only difference is you've accepted it, I haven't.

If you're willing to tell me the truth,

we both may still have a chance.

You got half of it right.

The one who poisoned He Feng was me,

but also not me.

Young Master did have someone he loved.

Her name is Zhao Rui.

Half a year ago, Young Master studied abroad in Beizhen.

He met Zhao Rui and fell in love at first sight.

The two quickly became inseparable.

Zhao Rui's father is an elderly scholar who wrote letters for others.

He didn't want Zhao Rui to overstep her status.

Meanwhile, Master and Madam

would never allow Young Master to marry a commoner's daughter.

Young Master decided to marry Zhao Rui secretly.

He asked me to prepare the newlywed home and arrange a wedding ceremony.

They even wrote a marriage certificate.

[Double Happiness]

Then He Feng wed me while already married.

By imperial law, remarrying without getting a divorce

means my marriage to He Feng isn't valid.

Where is the marriage certificate now?

I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

Zhao Rui said she sent it to her father, Zhao Ming Li.

She said she wanted to reassure him.

Where is Zhao Rui?

She died.

How did she die?

She was just a temporary infatuation to Young Master.

When he heard his arranged marriage to you,

Young Master obeyed Madam's order and returned to He Manor.

Zhao Rui couldn't accept it.

She took a rope

and hung herself.

That means

He Feng betrayed her.

Aren't stories of wealthy young masters

fooling around very common?

With Zhao Rui's death, her father would have enough reason

to seek revenge on He Feng.

You just said who poisoned him was you, but also not you.

Did Zhao Rui's father use you to poison him?

After Zhao Rui died, I did burn some paper money for her,

to pray for Young Master's peace of mind.

One day, returning from burning paper money,

I was suddenly stopped by a Taoist priest.

Miss.

Miss, please wait.

Miss, I fear your Young Master will meet a bloody calamity.

- Where did this scammer come from?
- Miss.

Let me ask you. Did your young master recently lose his spouse?

Nonsense!

Young Master won't marry until three days later. How could he have a spouse?

That's odd.

Could I have seen it wrongly?

What did you see?

I saw an aggrieved spirit keeps following you,

a young lady in red.

She has a really strong aura of regret. She keeps following you.

Once the sun sets, she will unleash her fury.

Taoist Priest, can you stop her?

The priest gave me a vial of enchanted water (with ashes of a burned talisman).

He said to have Young Master drink it the morning of the wedding.

He also said not to tell Young Master; otherwise, it won't work.

I only thought of saving Young Master.

I... I didn't suspect anything.

Who knew, after drinking the enchanted water,

he...

That priest was likely Zhao Rui's father in disguise, right?

I heard Young Master mention that Zhao Rui had a father named Zhao Ming Li.

But I never saw him in person, or I wouldn't have fallen for his trick.

So Zhao Ming Li got away just like that?

He won't be able to escape.

After Master found out Young Master was poisoned,

he kept me locked up. He sent people to secretly arrest that old man.

Master has countless skilled soldiers so he can't escape.

Based on what you said, you're completely innocent.

But Master and Madam He still want to punish you to death.

Are you just accepting it?

I'm just a servant girl.

What else can I do?

The fact that this happened,

I can only say this is my fate.

Well, I want to help you.

But I have one condition.

What is it?

If Zhao Ming Li really killed him,

why didn't the He family report it?

If they reported it,

it would be revealed that He Feng was remarrying before getting a divorce.

Even if He Feng died, he wouldn't die with glory.

It would certainly be less honorable than saying I jinxed him to death.

Besides, General He is an army commander.

It would be easy for him to quietly kill a person

without need to get authorities involved.

It keeps their reputation intact and prevents needless trouble.

Remarrying before getting a divorce...

The imperial court may be strict, but that isn't exactly a serious offense.

Even if he got impeached,

as long as his eldest son remains at the border,

the He family would not fall.

The He family keeping a tight hold on you, turning against your family

to keep their honor and cover up manslaughter,

I still find this reason is too forced.

Then why do you think they did it?

I'm not too sure, either.

It's just my intuition.

What about you? What will you do next?

I'll leave He Manor and find Zhao Ming Li

before He Family catches him.

Yue Ying is the only witness.

But Zhao Ming Li has the marriage certificate.

Only by finding Zhao Ming Li,

I can prove that I didn't jinx He Feng.

He Feng's death will only have closure by capturing the real killer.

Just based on your ability, how will you leave He Manor?

I'll need your help with that.

It's not impossible for me to help.

Beg me, and I'll help you.

I, Qiu Yan, solemnly ask for Lord Liang's help.

I shall never forget Lord Liang's great grace.

You changed your tone so quickly.

As the old saying goes, "A wise man recognizes his circumstances and adapts."

As long as I reach my goal, if I must beg for help, so be it.

It's nothing to be embarrassed about.

Then why didn't you beg me before?

Then I was confident I could find the truth by myself.

Now Yue Ying's safety is at stake.

I wanted to use your kindness at the most critical moment.

[Beloved son, He Feng's memorial tablet]

[In remembrance]

[He Manor]

Miss, we've already left the city.

What should we do?

Get out of the way.

We are from He Manor.

Which He Manor?

You people get out of the way first.

Our master is the honorable General He Yong Zhong.

Whoever he is, he should at least be reasonable.

The older person gets right of way.

We are carrying an 80-year-old.

How old is the one you're carrying?

Who cares how old?

You guys get out of the way!

You guys make way first.

- You guys make way first.
- You guys make way first.

You guys make way first!

You make way.

Steward.

You people make way.

What's going on?

There's another funeral procession blocking the road.

Keep moving.

Let's see who dares block us.

Yes, Master.

Everyone, follow me!

Hurry and come out.

Hurry.

Hurry. Go, go, go.

Yue Ying, hurry and go.

You get off first.

Untie her.

Quick, Yue Ying.

Quick, run! That way!

- Run! Go, run!
- What about you?

- Go that way.
- Go!

Head toward the archway over there.

- Qin Xuan is waiting there.
- What about you?

You need not worry. Just go.

Come on, Qing Dai.

Let's go, Yue Ying.

Let's go. We must protect General He.

Right. We have to finish the act.

- Qin Xuan!
- Master.
[Rise of Virtue on the Cedar Boat]

Qin Xuan.

Qiu Yan.

Change your clothes first. Then we'll go to the city and report this.

Miss Yue Ying, you change first.

This is for Miss Yue Ying.

Hurry and get on the carriage.

[Rise of Virtue on the Cedar Boat] (refers to poem about a nationalist's worries)

You mean, the other funeral procession was arranged by Liang Yi?

Yes.

As a precaution, he set up the other funeral procession

and asked me to wait here.

Liang Yi has always been very meticulous.

If General He finds out Yue Ying and I are missing,

he'll surely conduct a large search.

How will we enter the city later?

Liang Yi said he will find a way to leave the He Manor procession

and meet up with us.

Then he will personally escort us into the city.

He also has Firewood Office's token. No one would dare stop him.

I hate owing favors the most,

especially when favors are impossible to repay.

Don't worry about it.

Think of it as he's escorting me.

So you only owe me the favor.

My favors are much easier to repay.

Miss.

It's already been so long.

Why hasn't Miss Yue Ying finished changing?

Why don't you go take a look?

Okay.

Miss Yue Ying.

Miss!
[Rise of Virtue on the Cedar Boat]

She's gone!

Buddha above.

I was wrong. I was very wrong.

But I cannot go to the authorities.

If I do, I will die.

I'm begging you.

Even if you don't meet the authorities, you won't survive!

Zhao Ming Li.

I followed the He family's funeral procession

and saw you tried to flee with others.

I was racking my brain about how to kill you.

Who knew you'd escape again?

Young Master was responsible for your daughter's death.

You already poisoned him so why won't you let me go?

He deserved to die!

You are his accomplice.

You deserve to die, too!

No, I'm not.

I'm innocent! I'm innocent!

If Rui'er hadn't sent me the marriage certificate,

I wouldn't even know where Rui'er was buried!

Please don't kill me. I beg you.

Don't kill me. I beg you!

Go cry to Rui'er!

- No!
- Stop!

You...

Y-You...

Put this away.

You...

How did you...

You pretended to be my witness

so you could use me to escape from He Manor.

I purposely let you go

because I wanted you to lure out Zhao Ming Li.

You bunch of traitors from the He family!

We are not from the He family.

I'm Qiu Yan who was supposed to marry He Feng.

Are you the second daughter of Qiu Family?

Just so you could avenge your daughter,

you almost made me get buried alive, too.

Let me kill this wicked servant!

Then I'll willingly turn myself in to authorities.

Your willingness to take responsibility for your actions is admirable.

Unfortunately,

you're too stupid.

If you had killed Yue Ying, you would never

have found the real culprit who killed Miss Zhao Rui!

Miss Zhao Rui did not kill herself.
