(Based on Xiao Lou's novel of the same name)

I am very curious

about the maid in the Young Lord's residence

who is said to be exceptionally beautiful

I am ashamed

Saving lives is more important

Thank you for letting me win

Lord Pei

Vertical two, dismantle three

Commander Wei

Dismantle two, surround and capture

Wei Zhao's tactics are truly unpredictable.

But Pei Yan advances cautiously, step by step.

He hides his true intentions well.

I didn't expect

someone as calm and composed as Lord Pei

would act for the sake of a maid.

This is truly the younger generation.

The younger generation is impressive.

Simple

and straightforward.

Your Majesty is right.

No news yet?

No.

Quickly inform the marquis.

We must obtain the Heart Protection Pill.

Otherwise, Miss Jiang's life will be in danger.

Yes.

Good move.

It seems like you are

determined to win.

I also rise to the challenge.

Big Brother

You keep an eye for a while

I'll be right back

Your Highness

The Marquis of Jianding is incredibly powerful.

If Commander Wei loses,

Can you really bear to see Lady Zhou

meet a tragic end?

Then what do you suggest?

I have a plan.

Hot

Are you trying to burn me to death?

I deserve to die, I deserve to die

Go, go, go

Thank you for letting me win.

Your chess skills

are truly admirable.

You are too modest, Sanlang.

It was just a narrow victory.

Your Highness

Sorry

Beautiful lady, beautiful lady

I cannot save you

Let's continue our love in the next life

I have no choice

I apologize for any offense

Let's have a drink another day

I apologize to the prince

Saving a life is as urgent as putting out a fire

I shall take my leave

I couldn't help the prince today

Another day

I will also host a banquet to apologize to the prince

Why do you say that, Sanlang?

I still have to thank you

for playing a good game with me today

Sanguan

What kind of trick are you up to now?

Big brother

You're wronging me

My little schemes are nothing

It's getting late

Ali

Let's go back to the mansion and mourn

Yes

You recently

don't need to be on duty

Take a few days off

Thank you for your grace, my lord

My third brother

Your Highness, the Crown Prince

I still have to be on duty tomorrow

I will take my leave now

Sanlang

Please

Marquis

Young Master

Why did Ali suddenly change the medicine?

What else did you instruct him?

I

Yifei conveyed the message

to use Lady Zhou to ask King Zhuang for the medicine.

I was afraid it wouldn't be secure.

So I gave an extra reminder.

We can't let Peiyan

get the Heart Protection Pill.

What's wrong?

Ali saw the chess game was intense

and proactively offered a strategy to King Zhuang.

I saw the medicine had been changed,

so I let Peiyan win the chess game.

Are you really going to fight me for it?

Hot

Do you want to burn me to death?

I deserve to die, I deserve to die

I'm afraid Ali's actions have already exposed us

Why is this?

Ali

Let's go back to the mansion and mourn

Lately, you

don't need to be on duty

Take a few days off

I'm afraid when Teng Rui was led to the Yu Gong Shrine

Pei Yan became suspicious

In the main hall

He must have informed Prince Zhuang of the plan

Immediately have Old He inform Ali to retreat

Yes

Collecting kitchen waste

Thank you for your hard work.

Thank you for your hard work.

Got it.

Thanks for your hard work.

Young Master

Please forgive Ali for disobeying this time

If Ali were still alive

it would surely implicate the Young Master

Ali will definitely bless the Young Master

to clear the old city lord's name soon

and redress the injustice

Committed suicide

Yes

What exactly is going on?

The Heart Protection Pill is very precious

His Majesty often uses it to reward royal relatives

My mother, two years ago

Once received a medicinal reward from the palace

But my mother has a weak and cold constitution

Not suitable for taking the Heart Protection Pill

That pill

Has never been used since

So the Marquis had the antidote from the beginning

The so-called request for medicine

Was just a trap to lure out the assassin

There is a spy beside the Prince

Lure him out

Do you really want to compete with me?

Although this plan is risky

The opponent's scheme is far-reaching

Even beside Prince Zhuang

There are spies of the assassin

If we don't catch him

It will be even more dangerous

Fortunately

Prince Zhuang is willing to cooperate with me

causing Ali to reveal his weakness

I have already asked King Zhuang

tell him

Teng Rui wants to go to the Fish Temple

to find the Fish Master's handwriting

it was also Ali

it's a pity

I wanted to follow this lead

to uncover the truth behind him

unexpectedly

he showed some courage

even willing to die to protect his master

I found out

that Ali, three years ago

was a sl*ve presented by Yuelou

Yuelou

Could this assassin be from Yuelou?

But why would they do this?

When Yuelou was defeated,

they were ordered to pay tribute in silver and sl*ves.

But for so many years,

they have never truly submitted to our Great Liang.

Liang and Wei have been at w*r for many years.

We had no time to attend to other matters.

This gave Yuelou a chance to catch their breath.

This matter

needs further investigation.

Yes.

Last night, the situation changed rapidly.

In such a short time,

he was able to react.

He advanced cautiously,

with meticulous planning.

He is a respectable

yet formidable opponent.

He is determined to get Teng Rui.

Teng Rui

cannot stay in the embassy any longer.

I hope Miss Jiang wakes up soon.

So that the marquis can capture the assassin.

Don't worry, Ziming.

Two days ago,

I already sent someone to Nanling to ask my mother for medicine.

It can be retrieved today.

Forgive me for being blunt, Cui Liang.

Miss Jiang is not a court official.

The marquis is risking her life.

Planning and scheming,

this action

lacks the demeanor of a gentleman.

I owe you my life.

Young Master

Young Master

It's all my fault

I shouldn't have overdone it

Ping Wushang

I am willing to trade my life for another

We need people right now

You need to stay alive

After completing the mission

then you can talk about death

Yes

This time

I lost to Pei Yan

The Young Master has already informed Ali to retreat in time

Sacrificing oneself for righteousness

was his choice

But this matter

is all my fault

Uncle Ping

Get up

Lord Teng

Please

This private villa of mine

is only a gate away from the main residence

Not only private

and secure

but also situated by the river

with beautiful scenery

If you don't mind, Lord Teng

why not move to the other residence temporarily?

The Changfeng Guards

will be responsible for your safety.

Although it is another residence,

it has its own unique charm.

Alright, alright.

My lord

I have discovered

that Pei Yan has already taken Teng Rui

back to the Pei residence

Pei Yan intends to use Teng Rui

to lure me out

The Pei residence is heavily guarded now

I'm afraid

it will be even harder to make a move

The Changfeng guards are well-trained

Attacking from the outside

is indeed difficult to break through

Pei Yan would not disregard Jiang Ci's life or death.

Keep an eye on the Pei residence.

The heart-protecting pill is indeed effective.

She looks much better than before.

But I estimate

she won't wake up so soon.

You don't need to stay here, my lord.

It's my fault that she got involved.

Tonight,

I will stay here.

Zi Ming,

you haven't slept for days.

Go back and rest.

Alright.

Then I'll come back to see her tomorrow morning.

How many outfits have you gone through already?

If you keep climbing on the roof,

and tearing your clothes,

I won't be sewing new ones for you.

Then I'll wear Master's clothes

and sleep with my head on Master's sleeve

How nice

You're so grown up and still can't change this habit

I just can't change it

I want to stay with Master for my whole life

and protect Master

Silly child

Master

The Marquis would actually do this for me.

Wait

Miss

You’re awake

The marquis stayed here with me all night

You were poisoned

You were unconscious for two days and nights

Don't worry.

The poison in your body has been neutralized.

It's all right now.

I thought I was very fortunate.

That I could survive this ordeal.

But I didn't expect that the way would be so challenging.

And the obstacles even greater.

I ended up in a worse situation.

Does it still hurt?

The poison in your body is neutralized,

but the wounds are still there.

Ziming instructed

to apply medicine promptly

to avoid scarring.

Come,

I'll help you.

I'll do it myself.

The young lady's hand is injured.

Let me do it instead.

Thank you, Lord.

Alright

That assassin

won't rest until the lady is dead

will not give up

Please stay here safely

I will ensure your safety

I won't let you fall into danger

Thank you, Lord

This time, you saved me

Did you use some precious medicine again?

As long as you are safe

everything else

is not important

This is the third time you have saved me

I will remember it

Miss Jiang

Actually

There's a fire

Quick, put out the fire

Lord, Lord

The stable caught fire somehow

The horse got scared and ran out

But it only listens to you

The men can't hold it back

Lord

You should go quickly

I'm fine

I'll be right back

You survived again.

I'm truly impressed.

You keep ruining my plans.

I wish I could cut you into pieces.

To ease my anger.

But don't worry.

I won't k*ll you for now.

But your master,

I can't promise the same.

You rarely come down the mountain

and are unaware of the dangers in the world

and the malice in people's hearts.

You should think thrice before acting.

How could you not take better care of yourself?

What exactly are you trying to do?

Keep the secret.

Everything you know,

keep it to yourself.

I don't even know who you are.

I don't know you either.

What secret am I helping you hide?

You really remember.

Don't even think I'll help you.

You do have some backbone.

If I k*ll you

and then order someone to take this little clay cat

to capture your master

do you think I should use a dagger

or poison

I was ignorant and arrogant

I deserve this calamity

but if you dare to harm my master even a little

to the ends of the earth

I will perish with you

as long as you promise me one thing

I will not only spare your master

but also release you

Teng Rui is now living in the Pei residence

I want you to report his every move to me

report to me

Impossible

You seem to have forgotten one thing

You have no bargaining power with me

You

and your master

are like this clay cat in my eyes

whether to live or die

is your choice

Lord

How did this fire start so mysteriously?

Not good

Miss

Are you okay?

It suddenly caught fire

It scared me a lot

No problem

The fire is out.

By the way, miss,

before you were poisoned and fell unconscious,

did you remember anything?

I remember the assassin threatening me

saying as long as

as long as I try to escape

he will definitely be able to find me

but this

I am very scared

I barely managed to escape

I didn't expect

the stables of the Jianding Marquis' residence to be so heavily guarded

The Pei Clan's Changfeng Guards

are not just famous for nothing.

Young Master

This girl is wild and hard to tame.

Will she really

be useful to us?

Although she is a wild girl,

she is loyal and righteous.

Cunning and smart,

she should not be underestimated.

Now,

I have found her weakness.

She will definitely listen to me.

We just need to

apply some pressure at the right time.

My Lord

The cause of the fire has been identified

It was caused by horses fighting and knocking over an oil lamp

which ignited the fodder

I have ordered those on duty tonight

to each receive twenty lashes

All camps in the army

have also been warned

You should assign more personnel

to secretly monitor

the people on this list

Yes

These

are all important ministers in the court.

The marquis suspects

that the assassin who fought with me that night

was dodging and evading

as if he was very afraid

that I would recognize him from his moves.

Regarding the Heart Protection Pill,

he was able to detect my plan at a critical moment,

he is definitely not someone from outside the palace.

This time, the Marquis

went to great lengths to save Miss Jiang

or perhaps he wants to use her to lure out the assassin

Before she fell unconscious

she clearly remembered something

but now her attitude has changed

There must be

some hidden reason

It seems

she needs to be established as a favored maid

to keep her by his side

and slowly gather information

Miss Jiang is still considered a guest

How could she willingly become a maid

She may be stubborn and unruly

but she has a soft heart

She wants to repay me for saving her life

Then I will have an opportunity

Stop

Token

Sister

I don't want to serve that lord

He always gets handsy with the sisters

Be careful and avoid him

For the time being

There's no one else to replace you

I heard

He's not a permanent resident

Just endure it for now

Go in

If I listen to that faceless cat

wouldn't I be aiding the villain?

But if I don't listen to him

wouldn't I be implicating Master?

No

I need to take control into my own hands

There's no end to the work in the main courtyard.

And we still have to serve in the other courtyard.

The inspections for coming and going are so strict.

It's so frustrating.

I don't even know how it happened.

They brought back such a big shot.

In my opinion,

since Miss Jiang arrived,

this household

hasn't had a moment of peace.

I heard

the Marquis fought with Prince Zhuang over Miss Jiang

right in front of the Emperor.

The Marquis admitted he has feelings for her.

He even asked the Emperor to approve.

That's really something.

From now on, in this household,

there probably won't be any peaceful days.

This is the treatment of a favored servant.

Miss Jiang

Do you still like

like

This is worth so much silver

It would be a waste if you don't like it

This is enough for a marriage proposal

Miss Jiang

Lord

Let me speak first

Lord, you have saved my life several times

I am deeply grateful

I also admire your unparalleled heroism

I would serve you tirelessly

But this

requires mutual affection

It is about mutual affection

Even if adorned with silk and satin

and covered in gold and silver jewelry

A forced melon is never sweet

Miss Jiang, are you

rejecting me

You are a good man, Lord

handsome and elegant

charming and dashing

Surely many young ladies like you

Miss Jiang, you misunderstood

You have saved Lord Teng several times

and suffered many misfortunes

I feel guilty in my heart

That's why I wanted to properly thank the lady.

Perhaps my poisoning has not yet healed

and it has affected my mind

causing me to speak nonsense here

Please, my lord, do not take it to heart

Miss Jiang has no regrets about her actions

How can words once spoken be taken back?

If they can't be taken back, so be it

It's better than being vague

That's true

Miss Jiang, please don't laugh

I was just joking with you

Actually, I do have an unreasonable request

Please speak, my lord.

What I am about to say next

is known only to you and me.

It must not be known by a third person.

I admitted to His Majesty

that my favor towards you is true

but it was a temporary measure to get the antidote

However, by doing so

from now on

we must

indeed

put on a show in front of others

otherwise, if we are seen through

we both will be guilty of

deceiving the emperor

deceiving the emperor

the crime of deceiving the emperor

So, will you lose your head?

Aren't you worried about yourself?

At worst, I'll just run away

My master always said

I'm like a loach

The world is so big

Catching a loach isn't that easy

But of course, I know

we can't run now

I would like to ask you

to disguise yourself as my maid

Disguise as a maid

I know

you were innocently dragged into this

but if I reveal you as a witness

who has seen the assassin

the court will surely investigate the whole matter

including the characteristics of the assassin

and even

trace your background

Moreover

that assassin is elusive

the incident at the Moon Pavilion

indeed left me with lingering fear

until the assassin is found

please follow my orders

Alright

if I follow the marquis

I can help protect him

Then this act

how should it be performed

In front of others, you must regard me as your lord

Miss Jiang will have to endure some grievances

and learn the basic etiquette of a maid in the academy

Being a maid

should allow you to go to the other courtyard

Once I deal with that shameless cat

I'll bring back the little mud cat

Alright

Then it's settled

From today onwards

I am the marquis's maid

If Miss understands

then from now on

you must change how you refer to yourself

So soon

Naturally

Then

I understand

Please rest assured, my lord

Miss Jiang

Are you ready?

Sister Shuxia

Where do you think I should start?

Previously, you were a guest at the marquis' residence

Naturally, you were well taken care of

But now

Since the marquis has taken you in as a maid

You must follow the rules of being a servant

You are new

Serving tea and water in this courtyard

Sweeping and wiping tables

All these tasks are yours

Alright

Put your hand out

You can't say "good"

You have to say "yes"

Yes

That's more like it

Being a spy requires a sense of conviction

Waist

Why lift it so high

Head

It can't be higher than mine

Stand firm.

Yes.

Very good.

As servants, we have to practice this.

We all went through this.

Legs.

Really

You

You

I'm sorry, I'm sorry

I'm sorry

Don't touch me, I'm sorry

I'm sorry

You, hurry up

Practice by yourself for another two hours

Sugar

The persistent faceless cat

Haven't I prepared for this?

Who can become fat in one bite?

What's wrong with you?

What happened?

What's the use of telling you?

What happened to the maid?

Without us,

those nobles wouldn't survive.

Do you know

the tasks in this mansion

where I can show my skills?

I just arrived here

and want to make a name for myself.

I want those important people to notice me.

Do you really think so?

Have you heard?

A distinguished guest has just moved into the villa.

I've been feeling unwell lately.

Alright.

Thank you for that.

That gentleman is difficult to serve.

You need to be more alert.

I understand.

Get up at dawn

Very lustful

What a mess

Withdraw

This is good

Put it down, put it down

Hurry, hurry

Lunch time

Very picky eater

Here I come!

Quite clever.

You're here.

Little baby.

You're here.

Indulging in beauty.

Not striving for progress.

And help you cleanse your stomach properly

Hurry, hurry, hurry!

Stop

It's you

Sir, you have mistaken me for someone else

I couldn't possibly mistake someone

It's you

That night

It was you

who saved my life

See

I wasn't wrong, was I?

I told you, how could I mistake someone?

As expected from the Sword Marquis Manor

Even a mere maid is so clever

You all may leave

To be honest,

I have always wanted to thank you in person

for saving my life, young lady.

No need to be so polite, sir.

It was just a small effort.

Not at all.

By saving my life this time,

you also saved the Wei Kingdom.

Moreover, I have been staying at your residence

and have caused much inconvenience.

So,

I will host

and properly thank Lord Pei.

Young lady, you must also honor us with your presence.

Alright.

It's settled then.

What a coincidence.

Miss Jiang

Please don't be formal

By the way, Lord Pei

If you hadn't arrived in time that night

my life

would have been taken by that assassin

A cup of wine

to express my gratitude

You're too kind, Lord Teng

Please

Miss Jiang

You are my savior

I, Teng, thank you here

This jade gourd

symbolizes warding off illness and disaster

is a small trinket

to keep by your side

Please don't dislike it.

Quickly accept it.

I don't dislike it, I don't dislike it.

Thank you very much, Lord Teng.

You are truly a generous and kind person.

Why is the marquis practicing swordsmanship right after the banquet?

He said

to aid digestion

What's wrong?

My Lord

My hands are shaking.

Please continue.

Today

let's stop here.

Lunch at noon

Very picky eater

Come in.

Lord

Miss, no need for formalities

You got your foot hit by a copper basin

Does it still hurt?

Thank you for your concern, Lord

I'm fine now

Miss, this is

I have nothing to do

so I like to write and draw

The marquis is unhappy tonight.

Why do you ask that?

Maybe I'm overthinking it.

I only realized at tonight's banquet

that in such occasions

everyone hides their true intentions.

Guessing the true meaning behind people's words.

You don't like guessing.

Who does?

That's true.

I envy you too.

Living freely like a cloud or a crane.

Completely free.

I used to think

that someone like you

would be untainted by corruption.

Pure and noble.

Could it be

that I have disappointed you?

No,

I just realized

the higher the position,

the more one cares about the greater good,

the more they have to deal with complex and dangerous matters.

Over time,

one might lose control over their own actions.

You're joking.

These are all my responsibilities.

There's no such thing as inside or outside responsibilities.

It's just that a few people

are willing to take on the responsibility themselves.

Lord

It's getting late.

You should rest early.

Even though it's for the master

if we really let that shameless cat get what it wants

wouldn't that be too easy on him

You are toying with me
