[Episode 5]

It's not safe here.

I'm sending you home now.

And then,

I'll inform
the Capital Administration Office.

Yu Qi.

I found a witness.

The crime scene is right over there.

If I lead a search party here,

we can find the evidence.

It's futile.

We need proper preparations.

He could destroy the evidence

and eliminate the witnesses.

Did you do something

before I got here?

Anyway, just believe me.

I can't leave.

This mansion

is more complicated than it seems.

We need

a sound plan for this.

We mustn't be rash.

What's wrong?

Are you always like this?

Like what?

Exasperating.

But now,

I cannot be angry at you yet.

You have a point.

The situation
is more complex than I think.

But now,

I've just rescued you.

I can't just stand idly by

as you risk your life here.

There are strategies and tactics

to w*r, you know?

You can't just fight the enemy head-on.

What about this?

Let's join hands

and bring this villain to justice.

Let's avenge the innocent girls
who died for nothing.

Can you trust me?

Fine. I trust you.

Look after yourself.

I'll return as soon as possible.

Although I know

that you're approaching me

for an ulterior motive,

I believe

that you're a capable and just official.

Make sure

she is free from any danger.

[Marquis of Changxing's Mansion]

[Divine Blessings]

You must be Si.

I remember you were very young

when Xingyu got married.

But at that time, I could tell

that you were a potential beauty.

I never expected you

[Marquise of Changxing]
to grow

more and more beautiful each year.

Marquise, you flatter me.

We inherit our looks from our parents.

It has nothing to do
with one's own efforts.

In my opinion,

it's nothing worth mentioning.

Si, I never expected you
to be so perceptive

at this age.

I truly like you
from the bottom of my heart.

Mother, if you don't mind

these girls disturbing your peace,

why don't you let them
keep you company for a few more days?

Sure.

Greetings, Mother.

Please sit down.

Xingyu,

why do you look so tired?

Did your father punish you

With sword practice last night?

Father is being strict with me

for my own good.

By the way,

ladies,

did you sleep well last night?

Not bad.

I'm glad to hear that.

Qian dotes on us the most.

Old Madam, you're kind as well.

I do feel like your mansion

is more comfortable than ours.

But I didn't sleep well

last night.

I can only sleep well on my own bed.

Is that so?

Si, you're spoiled indeed.

How could the beds in this mansion

be worse than the ones in our mansion?

Tonight, I'll head to your room

and see if I can add anything
to your bed.

Well, please enjoy your meal.

Mother,

I shall head out now.

Miss Si.

We didn't say a single word.

Anzi didn't say anything either.

Mr. Cao...

Don't be afraid.

I don't intend to report you two
to the authorities.

Also, I know

that you're more soft-hearted than Anzi.

You're kinder as well.

You didn't exert much strength

when you tried to strangle me

last night.

In my opinion,

you wanted to stop committing

such despicable deeds long ago, right?

I have no choice.

I'm just a servant.

I have to do whatever

Mr. Cao tells me to do.

But have you ever considered this?

Judging from his personality,

how long do you think
he'll keep you alive

when you know all of his dirty secrets?

What should I do, then?

Miss Si, can you save me?

I can.

But you need to tell me something first.

Last night, I heard you two saying

that another girl was trapped here.

Is that right?

That's right.

You have to tell me

where she's being held at.

This does belong to Niu.

Take a close look.

You might be mistaken.

I bought this hairpin

for Niu personally.

How could I be mistaken?

Where's Niu?

Where's Niu?

Try not to be shocked
when you go inside.

Miss.

[Virtue and Humility]

[Map of Ling'an City]

In the past five years,

a total of 15 ladies

went missing

in Ling'an City.

How could you be sure

that it was the work of a single man

and that it was a serial crime?

Don't you think
you're jumping to conclusions?

All of the missing ladies

are between 16 to 20 years old.

They're pretty.

They all come from humble families

or merchant households.

During my investigation with Long Dan,

we found out
that all of them were last seen

[Baihu Bridge]
at this very spot.

Marquis of Changxing's Mansion?

These are the leads
that we've organized.

All of the testimonies

basically point

to the same person,

which is Cao Xingyu.

Mr. Zhen,

do you still think
I'm jumping to conclusions here?

I can see why you suspect him.

But this is just your deduction.

Without solid evidence,

we can't consolidate the cases
for investigation.

Fine.

I have other evidence too.

One of the missing ladies

is called Niu.

Her hairpin

was located in the backyard

of Marquis of Changxing's Mansion.

According to our informant,

her body

is buried in the backyard.

Is your informant reliable?

We'll find out
once we investigate the area.

Wait.

Mr. Zhen.

Do you still intend to stop me?

Right now, all evidence is pointing

to Marquis of Changxing's Mansion.

I know it's difficult and risky

to investigate this case.

Mr. Zhen, that's why I need you

to assist me.

The court and the common people

call you

the role model of all civil officials.

You fear no power
and remain upright and just.

If you hesitate now,

I'm afraid no one in the world

will be daring enough
to take on this case.

As long as this case remains unsolved,

every lady in the country

will continue to be at risk.

Mr. Zhen, we have no time to waste.

Mr. Yu, please calm down.

I just have one question.

Ask away.

The Marquis of Changxing
holds military power.

He's in charge
of the Imperial Guard Troops.

He protected the country

from Nanwu's invasion.

Aren't you afraid of offending him?

A prince who breaks the law
is as guilty as any commoner.

Why should I fear that?

Excellent.

Commandant Yu, you're brave indeed.

The Right Office

finally acquired a worthy official.

Come. We shall head there together.

Miss?

Miss?

Is she dead?

Miss?

Stop hitting me.

[Miss Chi]
I'll listen to you.

Do you have the keys?

Yes.

Don't be afraid.

We're here to rescue you.

I'll listen to you.

Fall in!

Chief, everyone is here.

Chief, let's depart.

Let's depart!

- Yes, sir!
- Yes, sir!

Erniu!

About the task I've assigned you...

Your Lordship!

Why have you not completed it

by now?

Your Lordship!

Your Lordship,

we received news
from the Capital Administration Office.

Yu Qi is bringing his team with him

to investigate our mansion.

What did you say?

He wants to investigate my mansion?

Has that fellow

lost his mind?

What does he intend to investigate?

They said he was going to investigate

the case of the missing ladies.

You unfilial son.

What have you done this time?

Speak!

He... He's a beast.

Don't be afraid.

In the past, life was tough.

I thought since he was
the Marquis of Changxing's heir apparent,

I could enjoy a luxurious life

even if

I didn't have a title.

I should...

I should never have

followed him to his mansion.

I should have jumped into a river...

Lower your voice.

Miss, lower your voice.

And end it all.

I didn't need to suffer like this.

Miss, don't worry.

I'll help you out.

I'll help you escape
this wretched place.

Really?

My dear lady,

I've already risked my life

to take you

to this place.

There are guards everywhere.

How can we rescue her?

If they find us,

both you and I will be dead!

[Marquis of Changxing's Mansion]

You lots
from the Capital Administration Office

are truly bold, huh?

How dare you intrude on my mansion?

I will certainly report you
to His Majesty

for the crime
of overstepping your authority

and abusing power.

Your Lordship, please go ahead.

Even if you do report me to His Majesty,

I'm just fulfilling my duty
as per the law.

I'm in charge
of the Imperial Guard Troops.

I'm a first-rank official.

I hold a first-class Marquis title.

You're merely

a fourth-rank civil official.

Isn't it obvious
that you're overstepping

your authority?

The Capital Administration Office
is in charge of

the public security of Ling'an City.

Except for the imperial palace,

the 14 streets and 108 neighborhoods
of Ling'an City

are all under the jurisdiction

and management
of the Capital Administration Office.

Why?

Your Lordship,

is your mansion

outside our jurisdiction?

Mr. Zhen

truly has a way with words.

Why did you think I brought him here?

Mr. Zhen,

you have a silver tongue indeed.

You're quite the busybody.

Even if my place
is under your jurisdiction,

you're entering my private property

without permission.

Your Lordship, you really know
how to have it both ways.

Just now, you said
you were a first-rank official.

Now, you're saying
that this is a private property.

If the Capital Administration Office
is here,

it's because

a m*rder has occurred here.

This might just be my destiny.

I don't want to implicate anyone else.

Who said so?

Don't tell me your destiny

is to be tortured by that villain?

Miss, listen to me.

Today, the Capital Administration Office

will search and investigate this place.

By then, the entire
Marquis of Changxing's Mansion

will put their focus

on the backyard.

Even if something happens here,

no one will notice it.

Fulu, take Miss Chi to the backdoor

during the chaos.

My maidservant, Aman,

will meet you there.

I... I can't do it.

Fulu.

Right now,

all of us are in the same boat.

You should also take a leap of faith.

It's time to change the way you live

and carve out a path for yourself.

Miss, look.

It'll turn into powder
once you crush it.

It can put people to sleep.

It'll be of use to you later.

All right. We have to go.

Or else, the guards will get suspicious.

Miss.

Are you sure the officers
from the Capital Administration Office

will come here?

They will.

Miss.

I have no way to repay your kindness.

Remember this,

Destiny helps those who help themselves,

but abandons who abandon themselves.

Understood?

- Let's go.
- All right.

Your Lordship.

I've been investigating the cases

of missing ladies in Ling'an City.

According to my witness,

all of them were
in contact with your son

before they went missing.

Witness?

Who is it?

Bring him here

and let him confront me.

Mr. Cao,
I never expected you to be here.

What if I do bring him here?

Mr. Cao, will you try to coerce him

into submission with your power?

You think you can malign me

for committing m*rder

with that unreliable intel of yours?

Mr. Cao, I didn't say
that you committed m*rder.

Mr. Cao, could it be
that you want to own up to your crime

due to your guilty conscience?

Ridiculous.

Do you have any evidence?

Don't think of stepping into my mansion

without any evidence.

Naturally,

we do.

This copper hairpin is our evidence.

The witness also said

that you, Cao Xingyu,
are bloodthirsty, cruel,

and had committed unpardonable sins.

Not only did you t*rture
and m*rder numerous girls,

but you also buried their bodies

in the mansion's backyard.

You...

I'm an understanding person.

Today, I'll let you search the place.

But let me say this first.

If you can't find any bodies,

I will not

let this slide.

Please.

Search the place!

[Marquis of Changxing's Mansion]

What's with
all the officers and soldiers?

What happened?

Mr. Zhen,

won't you have some tea?

Something's off.

Cao Xingyu

doesn't look flustered at all.

Could it be that they had shifted
the bodies last night?

Last night?

What happened last night?

Nothing.

Sir! There's something at the bottom!

Hurry!

I heard that your wife
was angry at you again.

Yeah.

I think you should buy her
some floral fabric

after you get off work.

That should make her happy.

Great idea.

Sir, it's a coffin!

Open the lid.

Folks, put your back into it!

Sir, inside the coffin, there's...

Chief,

there are only books inside.

Mr. Zhen, Mr. Yu,

that's just the spot where I bury

the unwanted items from my study.

How could there be any bodies?

Please don't frame

an innocent man like me.

It seems our lead was incorrect.

I'm sorry to have offended you.

Mr. Zhen, it's fine.

I'm a magnanimous person.

I won't hold it against you.

He's letting us off too easily.

Something's definitely off.

I'm sure the bodies
are still inside the mansion.

Of course, I know that.

But we need evidence
for every action we take.

We've already searched the place.

If we stir up trouble again,

and if he does report us to His Majesty,

both of us will be violating the law.

Enough now.
Let's head back for today.

We have to plan this out properly.

Plan this out properly?

If we leave right now,

we won't get a second chance.

I don't care if we're violating the law.

I'll bear the responsibility.

Long Dan, continue the search!

Yes, sir!

Erniu.

Mr. Zhen, you better
don't get ahead of yourself.

Do you think
you can do whatever you want

at my mansion?

Someone! See them out!

Do not obstruct us
from fulfilling our public duty!

Yu Qi!

You better don't be
too full of yourself!

Your Lordship,

if Mr. Cao is truly innocent,

I'm sure you don't need
to fear a dog, right?

What a joke.

Why would I be afraid of a dog?

Release the hound!

After it!

Why are you all still standing there?

Stop them!

Xingyu!

Yu Qi.

Don't do anything silly.

Remove it!

Yes, sir!

Keep an eye on it.

- Yes, sir.
- Yes, sir.

Chief!

Chief, we found the bodies.

Dead bodies!

Those are dead bodies!

The bodies match the victims' profiles.

Take the criminal, Cao Xingyu, back

to the Capital Administration Office.

Yes, sir.

Wait!

I didn't m*rder them.

It's him.

Come out.

Come out.

Anzi!

Come out!

Does he think

that we're fools?

You're using a servant
as your scapegoat now?

What gives you the right to say

that I was the one who m*rder*d them?

You're saying that

based on your unreliable intel?

Let me ask you this.

What's your name?

My name is Anzi.

Your master said

you m*rder*d all these people.

I...

You should just confess.

Our family has treated you very well.

We got you a wife.

You even got yourself a descendant.

Cao Xingyu.

Do not try to threaten him.

Anzi, don't be scared.

Tell us everything.

This case involves many people.

I can report this
to His Majesty personally.

Regardless of their rank,

they wouldn't dare harm your family.

Trust me.

Anzi, raise your head.

All three generations of your family

have served as the mansion's servants.

I'm sure you know my character

and the things

I'm capable of.

If you did commit these crimes,

I can guarantee that your family

won't be implicated,

understood?

Yes.

I m*rder*d them.

I m*rder*d all of them.

You have to think this through.

If you admit to it now,

it won't be that easy

to overturn your statement afterward.

I'm the m*rder*r.

I was bewitched by my lust

for young and beautiful ladies.

I m*rder*d

all of those girls.

I threw all of their bodies
into the abandoned well.

It has nothing to do
with Mr. Cao at all.

Your Lordship!

Please treat my family well!

Your Lordship!

I'm very relieved that you're willing

to confess your crime
and submit yourself to the law.

Don't worry.

I'll definitely treat your family well.

Marquis of Changxing!

How dare you silence him in public?

You have no regard for the law at all!

I have always managed my household
as I would command an army.

Now, there's an evil servant
in the household

who has gone totally depraved.

He has ruined the reputation
of my household.

Therefore, I ended his life on behalf

of the Capital Administration Office.

Isn't that better?

Now, you won't need to go through
the trouble of putting him on trial.

According to the law of Zhou,

k*lling one's servant
is a crime as well.

Mr. Zhen.

Don't think

that you're the only one
who's well-versed with the law here.

Indeed. k*lling a servant
without any reason is a crime.

But he has committed a capital offense.

Has my father done anything wrong
for k*lling him?

Even if he did commit a capital offense,

his deeds should be reported
to the local authorities first.

He should only be dealt with
after permission is granted.

He was just a servant.

So what if I k*lled him?

Do you think I need permission

from the Capital Administration Office?

If you didn't seek
the local authorities' permission,

that means you've broken the law.

According to the law of Zhou,

one who kills their servant
without permission

from the local authorities

shall be flogged 100 times.

What, Mr. Zhen?

Do you intend to flog me?

Would you really dare?

You!

I!

Sorry for the intrusion.

You may leave now, Your Lordship.

You can see yourselves out.

I have military affairs to attend to.

I don't have time

to waste on you all.

What are you staring at?

Return to your rooms!

Why did you stop me?

Are we letting them leave
just like that?

Our goal today

isn't to press charges against Cao Yong
for k*lling his servant.

Our goal is to locate these bodies.

Now, all of the bodies

are here.

Not a single one is missing.

The evidence is gone, and there is
no one left to testify, Commandant Yu.

I won't let that happen.

Did someone affect you?

What's with

the hasty temper now?

You're still too young.

Wait...

What has this got to do

with being young?

The servant

didn't m*rder all those ladies.

He wouldn't have the nerve.

It was Qian.

No, it was Cao Xingyu.

Pei, seems like
you're not as dumb as I thought.

So you knew all along?

Why didn't you warn me, then?

How could I warn you?

You were so infatuated

with that brother-in-law of yours.

Would you even heed my advice?

Cao Xingyu is so cruel.

He has m*rder*d so many people.

Does Qian know about this?

So Qian knows about this?

If so, how could she

invite us to that mansion?

How could she treat me like this?

Although we don't share

the same mother,

I'm the closest to her.

Who said you could let Jiang Si go?

They've seen all those dead bodies.

They're so afraid

that they requested
the Capital Administration Office

to escort them out of the mansion.

Do you expect me to stop them?

You wretch,
how dare you talk back to me?

How dare you talk back to me?

If it weren't for the fact

that my mother was
pleased with you usually,

I would have m*rder*d you

together

with all those wretches!

You wretch! You wretch!

Mr. Cao.

Mr. Cao.

Please spare her
on account of Old Madam.

Scram!

Go ahead! Why don't you k*ll me?

What else are you bold enough to do

aside from hitting and k*lling women?

Your father beat you up.
That's why you beat me up.

If you're that bold,

how come you don't dare

to go against him even once?

You're just a wretch
who comes from a humble background.

How dare you look down on me?

What happened to that enthusiasm
you had back then,

when you insisted on marrying me
on your cousin's behalf?

You ended up like this

because you brought this upon yourself.

That's right.

I brought this upon myself.

I deserve this.

Just beat me to death!

This way,
the Capital Administration Office

can charge you with another m*rder.

Let's see if there's another Anzi

who can bear the blame for you again!

I'll k*ll you right now!

I'm going to k*ll you!

I'll spare you for today.

Once things blow over,

I'll take your life.

Madam Qian.

Madam Qian.

Madam Qian.

How are you feeling?

Cui'er.

I've had enough

of such a life.

Madam Qian.

Let's run away.

Run away?

Where can we escape to?

When Miss Si left, she told me

she left behind a small sedan chair

at the backdoor.

She thought
that you might want to return home.

If you don't leave now,

I'm worried
that you might lose your life soon.

Madam Qian.

I can't just sit here
and wait for my demise.

Time to go home.

Let's go home.

Let's go home.

[Haitang House]

The heavens are blind indeed.

The serial k*ller

got away scot-free just like that.

Although Commandant Yu said

that he would continue
the investigation,

there's no evidence and no one left
to testify against the culprit now.

How could that be?

My Lady, did you forget about Miss Chi?

Back then, you instructed me
to escort her out of the city.

She was so grateful to you.

My Lady, she'll come back
and testify against him

as long as you want her to.

But she had already led a rough life.

Now, she has finally managed to escape.

If we make her

testify against Cao Xingyu,

and news of her confinement

gets out,

how could a girl like her

survive in the future?

Aren't we forcing her

to seek death once again?

But if she doesn't testify against him,

the villain could never
be brought to justice.

Do you think she can lead
a good life knowing that?

I'll go and visit her tomorrow.

Si!

Si!

It's already late.

Don't tell me she's here
to stir up trouble again?

Go check what she wants first.

Miss Pei, why are you here?

Si!

What's wrong?

Qian, she...

Jiang Qian has returned.

She's at Grandmother's place now.

[Cixin Hall]

Qian,

stop crying.

You have to tell me

why you came home

in the middle of the night.

I heard

that a m*rder had occurred
in Marquis of Changxing's Mansion.

Several people were found dead.

This is a m*rder case
we're talking about.

Is Mr. Cao implicated?

Is he in trouble?

He has a father

who has absolute authority.

A m*rder case is nothing to him.

He can cover up any crimes in the world.

I'm not trying to reprimand you here.

But you are husband and wife.

You should go through
ups and downs together.

You can't just return home
when your husband's family

is in trouble, you know?

Tell me what's going on.

Did you argue with Mr. Cao?

Or did he bully you?

It's common for married couples

to argue and bicker.

Just ask your mother about it.

You're already married.

You shouldn't be this willful.

It's late now.

You should spend the night here.

Head back tomorrow morning

and apologize to your husband's family.

Tell them
that your grandmother called you back

because she was sick.

Qian.

Since you've already escaped
from that hellhole,

you should tell us everything.

That's right, Qian.

You knew that the mansion

was a dangerous place.

Even so,

you invited us there.

What ulterior motive did you have?

You should tell us everything

in front of Grandmother.

Shut up!

Dangerous place?

Do you think you have
the right to speak here?

Qiao, tell me.

What exactly happened?

It was Cao Xingyu.

He harbored
sinister intentions toward Si.

What?

Mr. Cao harbored
sinister intentions toward Miss Si?

This...

This is ridiculous.

Mr. Cao has seen all kinds

of beautiful girls, all right.

You, you, and you.

Go back to your rooms!

Nanny Li,

hurry and send them back to their rooms.

Ladies, please go back.

Qian, stop crying.

Were you kept in the dark as well?

Is that why you came back out of spite?

I know everything.

What nonsense are you talking about?

What do you mean by that?

What...

My goodness!

Qian, did Mr. Cao abuse you?

Mr. Cao is too harsh on her!

Why didn't you come back
and tell us about it sooner?

Tell you sooner?

How could I break the news to you all?

Mother, since young, you and Grandmother

told me

that I was the most outstanding lady

in this mansion.

The honor and glory
of the entire household

fall entirely on my shoulders.

Since childhood,
I've studied the four arts

and learned how to manage the household.

I dared not slack off even for a moment.

I did everything so that I could marry
into Marquis of Changxing's Mansion

and win a better future

for myself and our family!

But in the end?

I followed

every single one of your instructions!

Why did I

end up like this?

What have I done wrong?

In the four years, two months,

and seven days

of being married to Cao Xingyu,

I lived in hell

every single day.

Punches,

slaps,

lashes,

I've endured all kinds
of physical abuse.

Even if I begged for mercy,

it was useless.

After that, I started resisting him.

It'd only make him more excited.

After enduring so much abuse,

I found a method

that worked the best.

That is to act like a dead body.

Just let him abuse you

without giving him any reactions.

The more numb you are,

the more uninteresting it is for him.

Once he gets tired of abusing you,

he'll go and find new victims.

Qian.

Qian, don't be scared.

I'll take you
to Marquis of Changxing's Mansion now!

I'll help you get a divorce!

Nonsense!

This family will be in upheaval

if I come a moment later!

Mother.

Why did you not stop them?

How could you let them
mess around like this?

Just look at how much

she has been abused.

Anmou, you're finally back.

Take a look at our girl!

She has suffered

so much physical abuse!

Do they have no respect

for the law in this country?

Tomorrow morning,

let's head
to Marquis of Changxing's Mansion

and file a divorce
on our daughter's behalf!

They truly have no regard for the law.

Tomorrow, I'll see Marquis of Changxing

and demand an account from him.

I'll ask him

why that darned son of his

abused Qian

to this extent.

Anmou, you're right.

We mustn't let him

abuse Qian any longer.

You have to deal
with the matter appropriately.

This concerns the ties
between the two families.

I understand, Mother.

See?

It's pointless to tell them about it.

Father.

Why do you think Cao Xingyu

dared to do this to me?

It's all because

no one in my family
could stand up for me.

Even if I was abused to such an extent,

in the end,
you'll just head to his mansion

and say a few words to him
without causing any discomfort!

Qian,

who said no one could stand up for you?

We'll be heading there

to demand an account from them, right?

So?

He's the Marquis of Changxing.

He holds absolute authority.

Our family has no way to go against him.

Therefore, demanding an account
is the only thing we can do.

So,

are you going to use
the injuries I sustain

to lay a better career path
for you and your brother?

You unfilial girl!

How dare you talk back to me like that?

What are you doing?

Hasn't she endured enough?

Do you want her

to give her another beating?

Since ancient times,

daughters have obeyed their fathers
when they were at home

and obeyed their husbands
when they got married.

Mother,

I won't let them get a divorce.

Please don't worry.
