[Follow Your Heart]

[Episode 21]

[Jingsheng Hall]

Why are you all at my house?

What happened to my face?

Surprise!

You don't need to wear your mask anymore.

My nose!

I performed

plastic surgery on your nose.

Plastic surgery!

You

You

You

Jiang Xinbai!

Don't think

that you can decide everything for me

just because we've become allies!

Why are you

only scolding me?

Get out!

From now on, we'll stay out of each other's business.

Yan Nanxing.

His nose is fixed,

but he has lost his mind.

All of you, get out!

I don't want to see you!

Could you please

excuse us?

Okay.

Bieli.

Gaya and I hope

you can let go of your obsession

and stop wearing your mask.

Brother.

Gaya is gone.

You should move on,

and so should I.

Mr. Shang,

you're a great hero.

You can definitely pull yourself together.

No matter what happens,

I'll be with you.

Mr. Shang.

Did you stay up all night?

Sai'er.

Go somewhere with me.

Gaya.

This mask

is made of the ore from your hometown.

It carries your love for your hometown.

I buried it here.

It faces your hometown.

When you get homesick,

look into the distance.

I will protect Brother.

Please bless him

and keep him safe.

Gaya.

I'm not coming here again.

I'm moving on.

Lady Gaya,

please bless Mr. Shang.

[Steps Towards Success]

There's no need to clean this place today.

You may leave.

Chancellor.

Why are you here?

I'm here to

You followed me?

Why would I?

Since you knew my name,

you could find out

that I'm a chancellor at the Imperial Academy.

You came here

to make me notice you.

That's not true.

I've seen many people like you,

a calculating social climber.

Just give up.

Although I don't despise you because you're a sl*ve,

it doesn't mean

I'll like you.

This

This is my uniform.

I'm supposed to be here.

You passed out that day.

I took you home to let you rest.

I didn't know you were a chancellor

until we had dinner together.

But I had no other intentions after I found out,

nor did I think too much.

I just thought of the meal

as entertaining a friend

at home.

A friend?

You

consider me a friend?

Yes.

A friend.

Do you know

what kind of friends I need?

What kind of friends do you need?

Only those who can

always stay by my side

and be my people

no matter what happens

can be my friends.

Be your people?

So,

stop saying

that you can be my friend.

It has nothing to do

with whether you're a sl*ve or not.

Suoluo.

Dean Yan.

Dean Yan.

I asked you to clean this place up.

How dare you slack off

and disturb the chancellor?

You asked him to clean this place up?

Yes.

His name is Liu Ruoqian.

He's the sl*ve student the Imperial Academy

made an exception to admit.

He told us

he wanted to work in order to earn tuition.

So, we asked him

to do some physical labor.

However,

as a sl*ve,

you're not qualified to take the imperial exams

and can never be an official.

What's the use of studying

at the Imperial Academy?

Why are you still standing here?

Go away.

Is becoming an official the only purpose of study?

People study to make themselves

upright,

well-mannered, and benevolent.

Dean Yan, as a teacher,

how can you judge your student

based on traditional values?

I didn't mean to humiliate him.

I just wanted

to teach him some rules.

Chancellor.

Dean Yan.

Please don't argue about me.

Since I was a child,

I've heard many humiliating words

like this.

If I cared about these words,

I wouldn't be studying at the Imperial Academy.

Although I'm a sl*ve,

I'm not ashamed of it.

No matter what others say,

it can't hurt me.

I'll take my leave.

Suoluo.

Give some of my salary

to Liu Ruoqian

as his pay.

Don't tell him it's from me.

Just tell him he got a pay rise.

Suoluo.

You are too kind!

-He‘s just a sl*ve

-We're at the Imperial Academy.

Please call me Chancellor.

Yes.

Chancellor.

I brought you some fresh fruit.

No, thanks.

I have something to do.

[Shang Residence]

Although your nose has grown back,

it will take some time

to get your sense of smell back.

It's okay.

I got this.

I will get

Mr. Shang's sense of smell back.

I never owe anyone.

If there's anything you want me to do,

just let me know.

Don't mind if I do.

Actually,

I want you

to find someone for me.

I know who you want to find.

Boss,

you want to find

the boy who saved you, right?

The Inspection Office

is better

at finding people than the Jinwu Guards.

Why don't you ask Jiang Xinbai to help you?

I don't want him

to worry about this anymore.

So,

I can only ask you for help.

Okay.

Thank you.

Bravo!

Chancellor.

Chancellor.

We meet by chance this time.

I didn't follow you.

I know.

I misjudged you

at the Imperial Academy today.

Don't worry about it.

I really don't mind it.

Chancellor.

Let me take these.

Thank you.

Chancellor.

Someone from the academy told me

you gave me a pay rise.

Thank you.

You deserve it.

Are you going this way too?

I'm carrying these books for you.

Let me walk with you.

Where are you going?

I'm going to the bookstore.

Then I'll go to the bookstore with you.

It's late.

Why isn't he back yet?

Even if he doesn't want to come home for dinner, he should change his dressing.

Ms. Yan.

Where is your lord?

He's been reading the file

on Li Wufang's case

in the file room since noon.

You can go in.

I'll stay out.

Thank you.

You only care

about the case.

Why didn't you go home early to change your dressing?

Sit still.

Let's do it.

What's wrong?

What are you doing?

Taking off your clothes.

How can I change your dressing with your clothes on?

I don't think it's appropriate.

Why are you shy?

I also

changed your dressing at home.

We're not at home after all.

We're at the Inspection Office.

What are you afraid of?

There's no one else here.

Anyway

Anyway

This feels strange.

You're so troublesome.

Okay.

Let's get started.

What now?

Actually,

my wound

has almost healed.

I knew it.

If you don't want to change your dressing,

you should at least take the oral medication.

Luckily,

I was smart.

See? I've prepared it.

Alright.

It hasn't turned cold.

Here.

Let me feed you.

It's not hot anymore.

I'll blow on it for you.

Okay.

It's cooler now.

Wait.

I see.

Is Chief Constable Jiang

afraid

of bitterness?

Who said I'm afraid of bitterness?

Then drink it.

Drink it.

Here.

The bitter taste is gone, right?

♫ Sit with you at night and listen to the wind ♫

Yes.

♫ When the wind flutters, the heart does too ♫

♫ Step by step, no words are spoken ♫

♫ Barged into sight ♫

♫ When did your figure grow hazy? ♫

♫ And how clear is it? ♫

♫ I don't intend to break your heart ♫

♫ Silently fall into my arms ♫

Mr. Yao.

Are you going home?

Yes.

Well,

has Mr. Jiang gone home?

It's very late.

I think he has gone home.

Take a look around and lock the door.

Okay.

You were so stupid.

You went there

just because Li Wufang asked you to?

What else could I do?

Could I watch you get hurt

and do nothing?

What if he was trying to scare you?

What if I was fine?

I couldn't take the risk.

Back then,

when my father was investigating

the Zornia case,

he found

a very important witness.

As long as the witness testified,

he could have removed

the force behind the Zornia.

However,

the night before the witness testified

against the Zornia g*ng,

the witness died.

His whole family was k*lled.

Was the m*rder*r found?

This matter

became my father's lifelong pain.

That witness

had the same surname as you.

His surname was Yan too.

His name was Yan Zhizhong.

Actually

Actually, my surname is not Yan.

My mother said

she named me

after my savior.

His surname was Yan.

Yan Nanxing.

Although

you're not related to Yan Zhizhong,

although you are not my witness

But

whenever I think of

how Li Wufang kidnapped you

and forced me to submit,

whenever I think of

how you almost got hurt

because of me,

whenever I think of

But I trust you.

I believe

you are no longer

the Jiang Xinbai from before.

Now,

you can save the people from danger

and rescue every person in front of you.

You can also protect me.

I will.

Are you hungry?

Let's go home and eat.

I feel so hungry.

Why is the door locked?

Is anyone here?

Is anyone here?

I think it was locked from the outside.

What should we do?

Don't worry.

Tomorrow is the Doors Open Day.

It will open

two hours earlier than usual.

What is the Doors Open Day?

The Inspection Office

has a Doors Open Day

on the 1st and 15th of each month.

We open our doors

and if the common people

have any injustices,

they can come and complain.

Let's make do with it tonight.

Tomorrow,

as soon as

the door opens,

I'll take you to eat something delicious.

Okay.

But

we

I know

you want to protect me,

but I still hope

that if you face any difficulties

you can face it with me in the future.

Don't bear everything

or make decisions

all by yourself.

You should at least tell me.

Okay?

Okay?

I'm talking to you.

Are you asleep?

Don't pretend to be asleep.

I'm not gullible.

Are you really asleep?

You're injured

and you still worked so hard.

You must be tired.

Why are you so pretty?

[Guangyu Hall]

Zhiyi,

you can't sleep at all

for so many nights.

This can't do.

It breaks my heart to see it.

How about

we call an imperial physician for a checkup?

What checkup?

When I entered the palace yesterday,

Her Majesty told me

that half a month ago,

Xinbai and Shang Bieli

were both called by His Majesty.

His Majesty even lost his temper.

I wonder

what happened.

Just thinking about it makes me nervous.

It hurts.

I didn't do anything.

It still hurts.

Okay, it's my fault.

Don't worry.

It's been a long time since then.

It will be fine.

Being with a king is like being with a tiger.

You know how Xinbai is.

Since childhood,

he only tells us the good news.

We don't even know

what happened.

We can't help at all.

How about

I go to the Inspection Office

and ask what happened?

No.

It's been so many days

and he hasn't even come to see me.

Why would you go to see him?

Don't go.

Fine.

I won't go.

Is today

the Inspection Office's Doors Open Day?

Don’t move. It’s not done yet.

I'm going to report my son

and say my son is unfilial

and shows off at home.

So early?

I'm done.

You need to look proper.

It's not done yet.

I won't. I'll just be improper.

My lord.

My lord?

My lord,

why did you two sleep here?

Don't

tell anyone.

It's too late.

Right? Look.

Yes.

I can explain.

Shut up.

Speak up.

Speak up.

Speak up.

Mr. Jiang,

what's going on

between you and Ms. Yan?

Are you two

together?

Is the rumor true?

We have to face

what we must face.

Zhiyi!

Don't be angry.

Zhiyi.

Let go!

Yan Nanxing.

It's okay.

No matter what happens,

we'll face it together.

I

Didn't she leave the capital?

Were you hiding her

these days?

Yes.

During this period,

Yan Nanxing

has been living in my house.

She is a traveler,

but she's been freeloading off of you.

What else

have you two done?

We even—

We reconciled and patched things up.

I want to talk to Yan Nanxing alone.

Get out.

Will you be okay?

Sure.

Have a good chat.

Don't worry.

I won't do anything stupid.

Go.

You're not leaving?

She almost discovered me.

This girl

is quite similar to your mother.

She's smart,

gentle,

and kind.

Right, Mr. Yan?

Name your price.

What price?

How much money do you need to leave Xinbai?

I didn't expect

such cliched words

would come from

the princess.

So tacky.

You're too shy to do it?

Fine.

I'll name the price for you.

One hundred taels of gold

is enough for you to live a good life.

As long as you leave,

I'll pay you immediately.

What is this?

You said you would give me 100 taels of gold,

but I don't see anything yet.

I'm different.

I'm a woman of my word.

I'll give it to you now.

Since I promised you,

I will reward you with gold

as long as you leave.

If you give me 100 taels of gold,

I'll give you 100 taels of gold

and one copper coin.

If you give me 1,000 taels of gold,

I'll give you 1,000 taels of gold

and one copper coin.

You!

I'll always give more than you.

Why are they speaking nonsense?

Are they going to fight?

Let them spill their hearts out.

Wait for them to

release their emotions.

After that,

everything will be doable.

That makes sense.

Let's listen more.

You're a traitor.

I treated you as my best friend,

but you seduced my son

and cheated me of my feelings.

How did I lie to you?

I met your son

before I met you.

How did I lie?

You!

What?

You said I was your close friend.

I'm not good enough for you.

You are heartless.

They're fighting.

When did I ever look down on you?

Never.

You say you don't mind,

but your feelings are honest.

I'm your best friend when I say nice things.

I'm heartless when I don't.

You're such a wicked mother-in-law.

Wicked

Wicked mother-in-law?

Wicked mother-in-law!

Okay.

I'll be the wicked mother-in-law.

You hit me?

Wait a bit more.

I'm so worried.

Just wait.

Okay.

Yan Nanxing!

Hurry up!

Let go!

Let go!

-Enough, Yan Nanxing.

-Stop fighting!

Zhiyi!

Why are you fighting?

You are the princess.

What are you doing?

Are you helping me or her?

It has nothing to do with me.

Zhiyi.

Can't sleep?

What's wrong?

I'm angry.

Actually,

I’ve been thinking of Yan Nanxing

every day,

but she said those things about me.

What did she say?

She said I only listen to what I want to hear.

She said I'm arrogant.

She said I'm unreasonable.

She even said I'm a wicked mother-in-law.

I'm not a wicked mother-in-law,

right?

Why aren't you saying anything?

I'm not that kind of person, am I?

You're not usually like this.

But

you care more about the people and things

around Xinbai.

Your concern makes you anxious,

so

you treat Yan Nanxing

a bit more strictly.

Look,

so many people

saw Xinbai and Yan Nanxing

together today

and you made a scene too.

Who knows what the people

are saying

about this now?

What should I do?

I was just angry.

I couldn't help it.

Don't cry.

It's okay.

At most, those ignorant people

will say

that Blossom Beauty closed

because you abused your power

and bullied a commoner.

But it's okay.

How about this?

Yan Nanxing is living with Xinbai

because she has nowhere to stay.

In my opinion,

you should let Yan Nanxing reopen Blossom Beauty.

Suoluo told me already.

Xinbai has taken the title deed.

How come even Suoluo

is biased

toward her brother now?

That's good.

It's sibling love,

right?

Fine.

Blossom Beauty can reopen,

but Yan Nanxing

can never be my daughter-in-law.

Why?

You don't understand.

When Xinbai

went on a blind date with Ms. Pei,

I asked Yan Nanxing to be the matchmaker.

If Pei Linfu

realizes that Xinbai

brought his ex-wife

on a date with his daughter

and made up in the end,

he might get angry and treat Xinbai badly.

Then what should we do?

It's that complicated?

Yes, it's that complicated.

Let's put Pei Linfu aside.

Yan Nanxing herself

is a troublemaker.

Xinbai is already treading on thin ice.

I can't let him be harmed by her.

So,

I must break them up

and be a wicked mother-in-law.

Why is love

so hard?

It's as hard as flying in the sky.

I ask the world,

what is love?

I just—

All right.

Stop talking.

Just remember one thing.

Keep an eye on Blossom Beauty.

If anything happens,

tell me immediately.

I'll keep an eye on her.

What happened to your face?

Who hit you?

Let me see.

Why is it so red?

Is it five fingerprints?

Yes.

Stretch out your hand and check.

Compare it.

Isn't the size just right?

It wasn't me.

You're playing dumb.

You haven't eaten anything all day.

Eat some first.

These drumsticks and scallion pancakes

are all your favorites.

I didn't come to save you in time

because I wanted to give you two some space

to

vent your anger

and be honest with each other.

What trick is this?

To be honest,

it's good that you two

made a scene like this.

How is it good?

First,

for the sake of the people,

my mother won't target you anymore.

Second,

since everyone knows

about our relationship now,

Yuejiang's Residence

won't ignore it either.

Li Wufang

already has his eyes on you.

This means

the people behind him

will be after you too.

I'm afraid

I won't be able to

protect you by myself anymore.

So,

you wanted us to make up

and make it public

so I can be

protected by Yuejiang's Residence?

Then

is there

any other reason?

What other reasons do you think

there could be?

You

are so weird.

How would I know?

You're so smart.

How could you not know?

I'm not smart.

You have to tell me.

What is this?

Blossom Beauty can reopen.

Now that I'm your Boss,

no one

will dare to kick you out again.

How did you get it?

I have my own ways.

When Li Wufang

arrested me that day,

was this

the important thing that you wanted to

talk to me about?

Well

Well, thank you.

What do you mean "well, thank you"?

You're still unhappy?

Wait.

Look what this is.

What is this now?

I got the title deed

of your residence too.

You

You

really

can do anything you want.

No, Yan Nanxing.

I'm not—

I'm not kicking you out.

Enough. Stop it.

If you think

you like living here,

of course you can stay.

No need.

I don't like it here.

Anyway, you gave me

the title and land deeds.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow,

I'll move back.

No, Yan Nanxing.

You haven't eaten yet.

Thank you.

Yan Nanxing!
