=Episode 15=

01:59.143 --> 02:00.103
Put it aside.

02:10.783 --> 02:11.983
What happened?

02:13.183 --> 02:15.263
A ghost!

02:15.783 --> 02:19.503
I fell into the pond.
Something grabbed my foot.

02:20.023 --> 02:22.103
Such great strength!
I couldn't shake it off at all.

02:22.703 --> 02:24.223
It's her!

02:24.223 --> 02:24.943
Shut up.

02:25.423 --> 02:27.863
In this world, there is no ghost.

02:28.223 --> 02:30.543
Don't talk nonsense here
and mislead people.

02:30.543 --> 02:32.543
It's true, Uncle Wending.
There really is a ghost.

02:32.543 --> 02:33.263
Alright.

02:33.583 --> 02:34.943
Ying, enough.

02:35.383 --> 02:36.903
You're just too terrified. Enough.

02:36.903 --> 02:38.543
You must be tangled by water plants.

02:38.543 --> 02:39.063
I...

02:49.663 --> 02:50.623
It's so late.

02:51.303 --> 02:54.543
Why weren't you two
resting in your rooms,

02:54.703 --> 02:56.623
but staying by the pond?

02:58.303 --> 02:59.743
I asked her to go.

03:00.383 --> 03:02.103
Although I took back Shende Shop,

03:02.383 --> 03:04.143
business hasn't picked up.

03:04.703 --> 03:06.383
I wanted to host a ladies' banquet,

03:06.423 --> 03:08.983
inviting the noble ladies
from all mansions

03:08.983 --> 03:10.663
in the capital to promote Shende Shop.

03:11.183 --> 03:13.583
She knows the preferences
of the noble ladies,

03:13.583 --> 03:15.463
so I asked her to help me host it.

03:15.983 --> 03:17.703
Host a banquet?

03:17.703 --> 03:22.263
When did you two become
so close and support each other?

03:24.983 --> 03:27.143
We are sisters connected by blood.

03:27.543 --> 03:29.383
And now both of us
have married a prince.

03:29.623 --> 03:32.023
We share honor and disgrace.

03:33.143 --> 03:35.903
If we don't support each other,
should we undermine each other,

03:35.903 --> 03:37.383
letting outsiders make fun of us?

03:38.143 --> 03:41.783
The color of this skeleton has faded.
This is definitely not a recent death.

03:42.743 --> 03:46.463
I'm afraid it's been
soaking in water for some years.

03:46.823 --> 03:49.343
Who is it exactly?

03:49.343 --> 03:52.743
- Yeah.
- When pulled out of the water,

03:53.223 --> 03:55.583
there were stones tied to this skeleton.

03:56.103 --> 03:58.063
No wonder it never floated up.

03:58.543 --> 04:01.823
This was intended to keep her
at the bottom of the water forever.

04:01.823 --> 04:03.103
Such an atrocity!

04:03.543 --> 04:07.063
This is clearly a murder case.

04:08.143 --> 04:10.943
In my opinion, we should report this
and let the officials investigate.

04:11.223 --> 04:14.183
What? Absurd!

04:14.463 --> 04:14.983
Well...

04:14.983 --> 04:18.743
This skeleton has been there for years.

04:18.743 --> 04:21.463
Is it that easy to investigate?

04:22.303 --> 04:26.423
Who knows what old stories
it might stir up?

04:26.503 --> 04:27.943
Listen, all of you.

04:28.223 --> 04:31.303
This matter ends here tonight.

04:31.703 --> 04:33.543
No more discussion.

04:33.903 --> 04:36.423
Do not spread a single word
outside the mansion.

04:36.703 --> 04:38.343
Do you hear me?

04:41.143 --> 04:44.223
Tonight, no one is allowed
to leave the mansion.

04:46.383 --> 04:49.023
Arrange for the elders to go rest.

04:49.183 --> 04:49.983
Yes.

04:50.743 --> 04:53.423
Then what should we do
with the skeleton?

04:53.423 --> 04:54.743
Go rest.

04:55.743 --> 04:58.503
The ancestors have blessings,
so naturally they are not afraid.

04:59.383 --> 05:03.423
But it's not certain
whether we can rest properly.

05:03.943 --> 05:05.703
After all, a tragic death
breeds resentment.

05:05.943 --> 05:10.343
What if something comes
to haunt us at midnight?

05:13.983 --> 05:14.863
She won't.

05:27.343 --> 05:30.623
She is Yanlu, my mother's
personal maid back then.

05:31.143 --> 05:33.143
Yanlu? Which Yanlu?

05:33.303 --> 05:35.463
There's such a maid in the mansion?

05:44.623 --> 05:46.343
Uncle Wending, don't you remember Yanlu?

05:46.423 --> 05:48.623
Back then, you broke into
my mother's courtyard

05:49.103 --> 05:50.343
and took her things.

05:51.023 --> 05:54.303
Yanlu was injured by you when she tried
to protect my mother's belongings.

05:55.023 --> 05:59.183
Later, your men carried her away,
saying they would treat her wounds.

05:59.543 --> 06:00.983
But now?

06:02.023 --> 06:03.103
She's dead.

06:04.303 --> 06:07.143
And her body was found in the pond
of our Ye family garden,

06:07.143 --> 06:08.423
even with stones tied to it.

06:08.423 --> 06:09.143
Shut up.

06:10.623 --> 06:13.943
How can you identify
a person from just bones?

06:14.543 --> 06:16.223
That's not Yanlu at all.

06:18.343 --> 06:19.623
I might not recognize her well,

06:21.343 --> 06:22.903
but I recognize this bracelet.

06:23.423 --> 06:26.903
This is what my mother
personally awarded her back then.

06:28.383 --> 06:31.903
When I was little, Yanlu often
took it off for me to play with.

06:32.703 --> 06:35.463
I remember
the twined branch pattern on it clearly.

06:36.783 --> 06:40.503
Tell me. Why did she die?

06:44.463 --> 06:45.983
Did you kill her?

06:47.903 --> 06:49.703
You not only caused my mother's death,

06:50.143 --> 06:53.143
but you also harmed a loyal maid
who protected my mother?

06:53.543 --> 06:59.423
Ridiculous! Your mother Xu Wanzhou
returned to Lishan Mountain with you.

06:59.823 --> 07:00.903
She's dead?

07:01.583 --> 07:02.903
She is already dead.

07:04.423 --> 07:06.023
Uncle Wending, do you really not know?

07:08.303 --> 07:11.343
Father, haven't you told him yet?

07:23.103 --> 07:24.383
She is already dead.

07:27.143 --> 07:29.063
And you are all murderers.

07:31.983 --> 07:36.183
Mo Xiuwen was already
a death-row prisoner at that time,

07:36.463 --> 07:38.823
a confirmed rebel.

07:38.983 --> 07:41.703
Your mother was just a woman,

07:42.143 --> 07:43.303
yet she's not well-behaved,

07:43.583 --> 07:49.063
and colluded with a court rebel
like Mo Xiuwen,

07:49.503 --> 07:51.863
attempting to stir up trouble

07:52.383 --> 07:54.903
and dragging
the entire Ye family into it.

07:55.423 --> 07:58.343
Did she want us
to be buried with that rebel?

07:59.103 --> 08:04.943
The Ye family cast her out,
to cut our losses and seek survival.

08:05.263 --> 08:09.423
It was not only to save the lives
of our clan, over a hundred people,

08:09.903 --> 08:11.903
but also to give her a way out.

08:15.703 --> 08:16.583
A way out?

08:20.183 --> 08:21.663
Is that what you think too, Father?

08:26.303 --> 08:28.023
Did you really do that for her sake?

08:30.023 --> 08:31.743
But right after
Lishan Academy sealed off,

08:32.503 --> 08:35.103
you were afraid of being implicated
and forced her to leave.

08:37.183 --> 08:39.863
Even when she was on her deathbed,
breathing her last.

08:40.463 --> 08:42.463
Did you ever care about her?

08:45.463 --> 08:45.943
Mom!

08:48.303 --> 08:49.543
Mom!

08:49.903 --> 08:51.023
Mom, hang in there.

08:51.023 --> 08:51.583
General Mo.

08:51.583 --> 08:52.703
Mom, don't scare me.

08:52.703 --> 08:53.823
I'm sorry.

08:54.143 --> 08:54.823
Mom.

08:55.503 --> 08:56.303
My lady.

08:57.503 --> 08:58.503
Stop the carriage.

09:00.023 --> 09:01.143
Physician, please hurry!

09:01.143 --> 09:01.983
Slow down.

09:05.943 --> 09:06.583
Mom.

09:10.463 --> 09:14.583
Because she was too out of touch
to see the situation clearly.

09:15.063 --> 09:17.823
The Empress Dowager
has long had absolute power.

09:17.943 --> 09:19.023
But what about you?

09:19.343 --> 09:23.743
Lishan Academy sealed off the mountain
under the pretext of compiling texts,

09:24.383 --> 09:25.743
offending the current emperor.

09:25.743 --> 09:27.303
So you killed Yanlu?

09:27.583 --> 09:30.143
Nonsense! I didn't.

09:30.143 --> 09:31.743
You pushed her into the water.

09:31.743 --> 09:32.503
Nonsense!

09:34.303 --> 09:37.863
We hired a physician
to save her back then.

09:38.023 --> 09:40.663
She died of severe injuries.

09:40.743 --> 09:43.583
She's destined to have a short life.
You can't blame us for that.

09:44.663 --> 09:45.503
What?

09:46.983 --> 09:48.223
Well said.

09:49.823 --> 09:51.463
Even if she really died of her injuries,

09:52.383 --> 09:53.823
but the Ye family

09:53.943 --> 09:56.183
could not even spare a thin coffin
and a handful of earth

09:56.183 --> 09:57.543
for her?

10:04.343 --> 10:06.903
Her body sank to the bottom
of the pool in the garden,

10:07.663 --> 10:09.223
even with stones tied to it.

10:10.383 --> 10:12.623
If you did nothing wrong,
why would this happen?

10:12.623 --> 10:13.423
You!

10:15.983 --> 10:20.623
You tell me. Was it you
who buried her back then?

10:21.583 --> 10:24.183
Master Wending, it's me.

10:24.663 --> 10:27.583
I buried her. I did bury her!

10:27.983 --> 10:32.063
Well, maybe Ms. Xu and the maid
truly have resentment

10:32.663 --> 10:35.463
- and they've come back to seek justice.
- Come on, don't talk nonsense!

10:35.463 --> 10:38.703
Wanzhou. It must be Wanzhou.

10:39.983 --> 10:42.343
She and Yanlu are blaming us.

10:42.343 --> 10:43.983
They're blaming us.

10:44.463 --> 10:45.663
D-Don't come for us.

10:46.343 --> 10:48.983
D-Don't come for me!

10:48.983 --> 10:49.743
Enough nonsense!

10:50.463 --> 10:51.383
Don't come for me!

10:51.383 --> 10:52.503
Stop this nonsense!

10:52.743 --> 10:53.863
They're dead.

10:53.863 --> 10:54.583
Don't come for me!

10:54.583 --> 10:55.583
Stop it now, or I'll...

10:55.583 --> 10:56.743
Master, something's happened.

10:56.743 --> 10:59.863
Jingzhao Prefecture is searching
the entire capital for some fugitives.

11:00.303 --> 11:01.503
How could this happen?

11:59.583 --> 12:00.503

No. I don't want to go!

Why?

13:11.983 --> 13:12.703
Stay back.

13:13.063 --> 13:14.503
Give it back.

13:14.503 --> 13:15.783

13:53.583 --> 13:54.183
Your Highness.

13:55.583 --> 13:56.823
You shouldn't come to save me.

13:57.383 --> 14:00.223
So I should just watch
you guys get captured?

14:01.183 --> 14:03.583
Your Highness, my life is worthless.

I know.

14:21.303 --> 14:23.583
Your Highness,
the entire city is on high alert now.

14:23.663 --> 14:24.783
All the wards are isolated.

14:24.783 --> 14:26.623
The wardens are conducting
a thorough search.

14:26.623 --> 14:28.103
If we can't go back before dawn,

14:28.383 --> 14:29.823
they'll find us sooner or later.

14:37.983 --> 14:43.303
Wending, this is my fault.
Please, everyone, go back and rest.

14:43.343 --> 14:44.663
Get some rest.

14:47.783 --> 14:48.583
Get rest.

14:58.423 --> 15:00.943
I noticed that the evil aura here
is overwhelming

15:00.943 --> 15:02.903
and calculated
that disaster would strike here,

15:03.543 --> 15:05.903
so I came one day early.

15:06.903 --> 15:08.783
I hope I'm not disturbing you.

15:09.743 --> 15:12.783
No. Master, you've come just in time.

15:13.703 --> 15:17.823
Master, evil spirits
have invaded this place.

15:18.703 --> 15:19.863
You saw it too, right?

15:19.903 --> 15:22.783
My wife and all the servants
in the mansion have been possessed.

15:24.103 --> 15:26.023
Master, please save me!

15:27.103 --> 15:30.263
Have you finished folding
the 999 paper golden lotuses

15:30.263 --> 15:31.943
I asked you to?

15:32.263 --> 15:34.583
All done, not a single one missing.

15:34.663 --> 15:35.463
Good.

15:36.703 --> 15:39.223
Then I will set up
a ritual ground for you

15:39.463 --> 15:43.103
to send this uninvited guest
off your mansion.

15:43.463 --> 15:45.623
Heaven's gate opens, Earth's gate opens.

15:45.863 --> 15:47.823
Cinnabar cracks talismans
to startle demons.

15:47.823 --> 15:50.703
Bronze bells shake souls
to subdue the stiff corpses.

16:04.943 --> 16:06.143
The ritual is complete,

16:06.383 --> 16:07.943
but the spirit of the deceased lingers

16:08.423 --> 16:09.703
for a reason.

16:09.863 --> 16:14.983
She might have unfulfilled wishes
in the mortal world.

16:15.423 --> 16:16.343
Mr. Ye.

16:17.063 --> 16:19.103
I presume you know

16:19.183 --> 16:24.503
what this female guest in your mansion
cared about the most when she was alive.

16:29.663 --> 16:34.503
Mr. Ye, do you have anything
you wish to say to your wife?

16:38.343 --> 16:40.983
Give me back
the imperial decree, Wenhua.

16:40.983 --> 16:43.303
We promised General Mo, Wenhua.

16:43.663 --> 16:45.023
Father will be here soon.

16:45.023 --> 16:45.583
Wanzhou.

16:45.703 --> 16:46.223
Wenhua.

16:46.223 --> 16:49.583
I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry.

16:50.063 --> 16:52.823
Wenhua, who sent you here?

16:55.383 --> 16:56.183
I...

16:58.463 --> 16:59.623
I...

17:02.023 --> 17:03.743
I understand it's hard

17:03.743 --> 17:05.943
to speak out your mind.

17:06.583 --> 17:07.903
When you feel like it,

17:08.503 --> 17:09.623
you can pour them out

17:10.023 --> 17:11.383
through the brush.

18:18.543 --> 18:20.063
Past events and old grudges,

18:20.503 --> 18:22.063
all given to this flame.

19:09.383 --> 19:10.343
Don't be sad.

19:14.543 --> 19:15.663
I'm not sad.

19:18.743 --> 19:19.543
My lady.

19:22.463 --> 19:23.423
Don't be afraid.

19:55.543 --> 19:56.423
My lady.

20:39.863 --> 20:40.663
Come on.

20:42.143 --> 20:44.863
General Wang is a man of honor.

20:45.543 --> 20:47.383
As long as he doesn't
cause trouble for me,

20:47.703 --> 20:48.983
(Jingzhao Prefecture)
I'll let it go.

20:55.743 --> 20:57.383
The weather has changed.

21:06.103 --> 21:09.143
Your Highness, we've checked
several streets around.

21:09.623 --> 21:12.623
Now, only the Ye Mansion
remains unchecked.

21:15.103 --> 21:15.903
Ye Mansion.

21:21.583 --> 21:24.183
(Ye Mansion)

21:27.423 --> 21:32.823
(Mom, let's not go back to the capital.
Can we just stay in Lishan Mountain?)

21:33.423 --> 21:36.143
No, Li. You are
a child of the Ye family.

21:36.183 --> 21:38.823
And I am your father's lawful wife.

21:39.343 --> 21:43.423
Mom, why did you marry Father back then?

21:43.983 --> 21:45.663
Because I love your father.

21:46.343 --> 21:48.263
And does Father love you?

21:48.423 --> 21:49.663
Of course.

21:50.183 --> 21:53.423
Father loves me, and he loves you too.

22:24.943 --> 22:26.783
Who? Who's there?

22:30.823 --> 22:32.903
Someone! Someone come!

22:33.423 --> 22:34.263
Guards!

22:37.423 --> 22:39.223
Wanzhou, listen to me.

22:39.223 --> 22:42.903
I know I did something wrong,
but I had no choice.

22:43.263 --> 22:47.423
Wanzhou, you can't blame me.

22:47.423 --> 22:49.103
You forced me to do so.

22:49.543 --> 22:51.423
You insisted on holding onto that thing.

22:52.423 --> 22:54.183
I did it for the Ye family.

23:29.783 --> 23:32.583
Wanzhou, please spare me.

23:34.543 --> 23:35.983
I'm sorry.

23:36.263 --> 23:39.863
Please, forgive me.

23:42.263 --> 23:46.463
Please, I beg you.

23:50.863 --> 23:53.423
Li.

23:57.463 --> 23:58.263
Mom.

23:58.863 --> 23:59.983
What did you say?

24:00.343 --> 24:01.423
Mom, you're here.

24:01.983 --> 24:03.543
Who are you talking to?

24:05.983 --> 24:07.103
Who's there?

24:10.943 --> 24:11.743
Mom.

24:22.103 --> 24:23.583
Wanzhou.

24:32.023 --> 24:33.103
She's asking you something.

24:33.543 --> 24:34.503
She's asking you.

24:35.383 --> 24:37.423
The decree mobilizing
Heiyun Cavalry to the capital,

24:37.423 --> 24:38.663
who did you give it to?

24:39.223 --> 24:41.223
I...

24:45.223 --> 24:47.703
Dowager Consort Qin.

25:07.423 --> 25:08.703
I knew it.

25:09.023 --> 25:12.103
You and your short-lived mom
are cut from the same cloth.

25:12.263 --> 25:15.863
You're both vengeful spirits
crawling out of the underworld,

25:16.303 --> 25:18.463
coming to bring disaster
upon our Ye family.

25:19.223 --> 25:21.063
You've been faking it all along.

25:22.263 --> 25:23.943
So you are not senile

25:24.783 --> 25:25.663
and forget everything.

25:26.983 --> 25:29.223
I may forget everything,

25:30.583 --> 25:33.703
except the two of you,
mother and daughter.

25:34.223 --> 25:39.223
You jinx, you were born
to ruin the Ye family.

25:40.703 --> 25:41.543
Jinx?

25:42.023 --> 25:43.863
If Mom hadn't married him,

25:44.703 --> 25:46.823
he was just a low-ranking
ninth-grade official.

25:47.303 --> 25:49.823
His household couldn't
even afford a few servants.

25:50.383 --> 25:54.423
It was my mom's dowry
that made your Ye family prosperous.

25:54.863 --> 25:58.303
She tacitly allowed the Ye family
to use Lishan Mountain's name

25:58.303 --> 25:59.543
to pull strings.

25:59.543 --> 26:01.663
Only then did Ye Wenhua
and Ye Wending get promoted.

26:03.103 --> 26:05.943
Have you all forgotten this?

26:05.943 --> 26:06.743
Shut up.

26:07.783 --> 26:09.623
Since she married into the Ye family,

26:09.623 --> 26:12.103
she is a Ye in life
and a ghost of Ye in death.

26:12.103 --> 26:15.943
Her life should have been used
to support the Ye family.

26:16.423 --> 26:19.303
What you said was exactly
what she should have done.

26:19.983 --> 26:23.983
She should have lived
by the Ye family's rules,

26:24.263 --> 26:25.423
but she refused.

26:25.983 --> 26:28.983
She showed no respect
for her mother-in-law or her elders.

26:29.063 --> 26:33.423
What's worse, she wanted
to invite even greater trouble.

26:33.423 --> 26:34.703
But she left.

26:35.943 --> 26:38.063
She signed a divorce agreement

26:38.063 --> 26:39.703
and cut all ties with your Ye family.

26:39.743 --> 26:41.383
Why couldn't you let her leave?

26:42.423 --> 26:43.223
Leave?

26:45.663 --> 26:47.303
She never left.

26:48.343 --> 26:50.743
She was hiding at Zhengyi Temple
on the capital outskirts,

26:51.583 --> 26:52.703
refusing to leave.

26:53.223 --> 26:55.103
I know what you're up to.

26:55.103 --> 26:56.663
You still wanted to come back.

26:57.143 --> 26:59.663
She still wanted to seduce
Wenhua with her charm.

26:59.863 --> 27:05.103
You wanted to drag the Ye family down
to the underworld as your scapegoat.

27:06.263 --> 27:10.343
How could I let you go?
And how could I let her live?

27:12.703 --> 27:13.423
So,

27:15.143 --> 27:16.583
you killed her?

27:17.423 --> 27:19.423
So what if I did?

27:42.583 --> 27:46.023
It's only natural and proper for me
to clean up the mess from my family.

27:48.543 --> 27:52.263
Now, let's settle this debt.

28:20.623 --> 28:22.783
(Ye Mansion)

28:22.783 --> 28:24.423
Open up!

28:30.183 --> 28:32.303
We are Jingzhao Prefecture.
Search separately!

28:38.823 --> 28:39.303
Stop.

29:05.183 --> 29:06.663
(Mom,)

29:06.663 --> 29:10.063
when will the tree we planted grow up?

29:11.743 --> 29:15.463
When you grow up, it will shelter you
from the wind and rain.

29:25.303 --> 29:26.623
Guards!

29:27.183 --> 29:28.743
Guards!

29:42.943 --> 29:43.903
Li!

29:48.743 --> 29:49.663
No.

29:50.103 --> 29:50.983
Murder!

29:50.983 --> 29:54.143
Li! Li! Li!

29:58.703 --> 30:00.823
Murder!

30:01.383 --> 30:02.103
Li!

30:07.423 --> 30:08.143
No!

30:10.063 --> 30:10.863
No!

30:16.383 --> 30:17.023
No!

30:17.023 --> 30:17.543
No!

30:21.383 --> 30:22.423
No!

30:23.303 --> 30:24.183
Murder!

30:24.183 --> 30:25.183
Li, no!

30:25.183 --> 30:26.063
Murder!

30:26.903 --> 30:27.583
Li!

30:28.223 --> 30:29.103
Murder!

30:32.743 --> 30:36.023
No!

30:36.343 --> 30:38.143
Li, my legs hurt so much!

30:39.103 --> 30:40.823
Come and help me.

30:42.903 --> 30:44.983
Don't kill...

30:45.223 --> 30:46.663
Don't kill me!

31:08.663 --> 31:09.383
Li.

31:47.703 --> 31:48.583
Get in the carriage.

31:57.343 --> 31:59.983
Your Highness,
the fish may have slipped away.

32:10.103 --> 32:10.743
Let's go.

32:51.463 --> 32:52.383
Physician, take care.

32:52.543 --> 32:53.303
Farewell.

33:05.103 --> 33:07.223
Mom.

33:07.463 --> 33:10.263
I am Wenshen. I'm back.

33:10.983 --> 33:12.143
I'm back.

33:15.303 --> 33:16.223
The physician says

33:17.303 --> 33:18.583
your wound is fine

33:20.023 --> 33:21.383
and you will be fine soon.

33:22.743 --> 33:23.783
When you recover,

33:24.303 --> 33:26.743
I'll take you to the Immortal Dwelling.

33:27.543 --> 33:29.623
They say it's where immortals live.

33:30.343 --> 33:34.863
The stream water is like colorful glass,

33:36.063 --> 33:37.383
extremely beautiful.

34:12.623 --> 34:14.583
Why are you here?

34:31.103 --> 34:31.903
Your Highness.

34:34.223 --> 34:36.503
Your Highness, don't you
have anything to ask me?

34:36.823 --> 34:38.943
If I ask, will you tell me the truth?

34:39.783 --> 34:41.023
Her Highness told me

34:41.023 --> 34:43.743
to answer truthfully
to any question you ask.

34:45.903 --> 34:47.063
What if I don't ask?

35:05.943 --> 35:07.983
Porridge. Hot porridge.

35:07.983 --> 35:10.103
Hot porridge with dates and chestnuts.

35:29.423 --> 35:30.223
Your Highness.

35:31.863 --> 35:33.383
Her Highness has great stamina.

35:33.863 --> 35:35.343
She's been out running recently.

35:35.543 --> 35:37.143
It is already the eighth lap for today.

35:37.423 --> 35:39.223
I told you to keep an eye
on the Ye family.

35:39.223 --> 35:41.063
Any abnormalities these past few days?

35:41.623 --> 35:44.223
Madam Ye is ill. It must be serious.

35:44.543 --> 35:46.503
The children from out of town
have all returned.

35:52.703 --> 35:53.903
Her Highness has gone back.

35:55.463 --> 35:56.303
Go.

36:01.743 --> 36:03.783
Your Highness,
you're finally back! You...

36:07.103 --> 36:10.383
Your Highness! Your Highness, terrible!

36:12.983 --> 36:13.783
Your Highness.

36:14.383 --> 36:16.383
White banners are hung
in front of the Ye Mansion.

36:16.383 --> 36:17.943
Madam Ye has passed away.

36:22.943 --> 36:23.983
Li, are you there?

36:25.063 --> 36:25.663
Yes.

36:37.863 --> 36:40.503
Your Highness, why are you here?
What's the matter?

36:46.663 --> 36:47.703
What happened?

36:58.143 --> 36:59.423
Your grandmother has passed.

37:03.903 --> 37:06.383
Since she got hit by a tree
on her birthday,

37:07.103 --> 37:08.503
she has been bedridden.

37:08.903 --> 37:10.423
Her condition deteriorated last night.

37:11.183 --> 37:12.303
After suffering all night,

37:13.303 --> 37:14.703
she still couldn't make it.

37:18.703 --> 37:20.183
I need to go back to the Ye Mansion.

37:20.663 --> 37:22.863
You have trouble walking. Please stay.

37:23.023 --> 37:24.703
I'll have our sister-in-law
accompany me.

37:25.743 --> 37:26.823
You'll go to her funeral?

37:26.983 --> 37:27.983
Of course.

37:28.743 --> 37:30.143
She's my grandmother,

37:30.383 --> 37:31.543
my close kin.

37:32.743 --> 37:34.063
We are bound by blood.

37:34.463 --> 37:37.103
Now she's passed away.
How can I be absent?

37:39.143 --> 37:40.623
The funeral must be taken seriously.

37:41.503 --> 37:43.303
I need to bring more things back.

37:45.983 --> 37:47.463
Incense, paper money, candles,

37:48.663 --> 37:50.063
seasonal fruits,

37:51.383 --> 37:52.823
wine, tea,

37:55.703 --> 37:57.463
and some flowers for the spirit tablet.

37:57.783 --> 37:58.903
All must be prepared.

38:00.583 --> 38:01.703
And eternal lamps.

38:01.943 --> 38:03.543
Nine lamps are suitable.

38:04.383 --> 38:07.383
But I wonder
where to buy them at this hour.

38:09.183 --> 38:10.943
Qingyu!

38:11.943 --> 38:12.903
Qingyu!

38:15.463 --> 38:20.383
(Ye Mansion)

38:20.383 --> 38:25.983
(Sacred Tablet
of the Late Mother, Ye Cenying)

38:48.263 --> 38:49.543
Why hasn't Ye Li come yet?

38:49.543 --> 38:51.023
Did you send someone to inform her?

38:52.343 --> 38:54.423
Why told her to come back?

38:54.743 --> 38:56.183
She's nothing but a jinx.

38:56.463 --> 38:58.743
Ever since she returned
from Lishan Mountain,

38:58.743 --> 39:01.503
Mother has been delirious,

39:01.543 --> 39:03.303
and even doesn't recognize us anymore.

39:04.103 --> 39:08.183
She's the one who caused Mother's death,
committing the heinous crime.

39:08.823 --> 39:09.943
If she returns,

39:10.143 --> 39:12.903
I will open the ancestral hall
and get the punishment rod.

39:16.463 --> 39:17.183
Master Wending.

39:17.183 --> 39:18.303
Princess Ding has arrived.

39:32.743 --> 39:34.223
How dare you to come back?

39:36.263 --> 39:37.623
Why wouldn't I dare to come back?

39:39.543 --> 39:40.983
You ungrateful wretch!

39:40.983 --> 39:43.263
You caused your grandmother's death,
violating human ethics,

39:43.263 --> 39:44.663
unacceptable by both moral and law.

39:44.663 --> 39:47.023
How dare you to stand before her coffin?

39:48.223 --> 39:49.423
I caused her death?

39:51.543 --> 39:54.623
Father, you were also
in the courtyard that night.

39:55.343 --> 39:56.743
You saw it with your own eyes.

39:57.263 --> 40:01.183
That night, a thunderbolt struck down
a tree and hit Grandmother,

40:01.383 --> 40:02.903
causing her severe injuries and death.

40:03.663 --> 40:06.703
This is a natural disaster.
What does it have to do with me?

40:14.503 --> 40:17.143
Father, say something.

40:17.743 --> 40:18.543
Ye Li!

40:20.303 --> 40:21.783
You ungrateful wretch!

40:22.183 --> 40:24.703
I will now punish you
on behalf of the ancestors.

40:25.263 --> 40:26.063
I...

40:26.143 --> 40:27.263
- Wending!
- I...

40:27.263 --> 40:28.783
This is a funeral hall.

40:29.223 --> 40:31.623
Let Mom leave in peace.

40:31.823 --> 40:33.823
A false charge needs no true reason.

40:34.743 --> 40:37.903
What now? Uncle Wending,
do you want to kill me

40:37.943 --> 40:38.983
to avenge Grandmother?

40:38.983 --> 40:40.583
Just stop it.

40:40.903 --> 40:42.183
- Move!
- I...

40:42.183 --> 40:42.983
How dare you!

40:44.463 --> 40:46.063
After all, you are an official.

40:46.063 --> 40:48.503
The Ye family is a scholarly
and upright household.

40:48.583 --> 40:50.103
You should be well-versed in the laws.

40:51.023 --> 40:53.703
If you have evidence, report it
to Jingzhao Prefecture for a trial.

40:53.703 --> 40:54.583
If not,

40:54.743 --> 40:57.143
stop slandering an innocent person
with a false charge.

41:06.223 --> 41:07.623
Do you have anything else to say?

41:08.743 --> 41:12.703
If not, I'll see Grandmother off
for the last time.

41:40.743 --> 41:41.983
The gods

41:43.183 --> 41:44.343
bear witness above.

41:48.063 --> 41:50.263
(Preview)

41:50.943 --> 41:52.303
I want you to take a walk with me.

41:53.023 --> 41:53.823
Take a walk?

41:55.023 --> 41:56.263
I'm a cripple.

41:56.543 --> 41:57.383
Then I'll push you.

41:58.103 --> 41:58.783
Alright.

42:01.743 --> 42:04.903
If you stand up, you can try
to take a couple of steps forward.

42:15.383 --> 42:17.223
I never thought I could stand up again.

42:18.823 --> 42:20.223
You healed my legs.

42:21.423 --> 42:22.303
Li.

42:23.263 --> 42:25.343
