Move. The carriage is coming.
Little trinkets.
You two stay here, okay?
- Don't run off.
- Okay.
Today's vegetables
are not good at all.
Not fresh anymore.
The good ones have
New people are arriving.
How rare to see newcomers here.
Madam, slow down.
Goodness.
Here comes trouble.
What does this family's gentleman do
to have the ability to marry such a beauty?
I heard
he's an outsider who sells porcelain.
They just moved here.
If he goes out to trade,
leaving such a beauty alone at home,
(Cui Mansion)
it won't last long.
Exactly.
You dropped something.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Madam.
It's all your fault for being so loud.
It's just you.
Madam.
Do not engage with those gossiping women.
If you talk more,
they might pry out all
the master's secrets.
You're overthinking it.
I already don't remember much.
Because of that,
you need more peace and quiet.
Physician Zhao said
you have a cranial blockage,
causing your memory loss.
What a sin.
Three years of loving marriage.
You only remember
the day you got married.
This gentleman named Cui Jiu
is wealthy,
and I heard
he's a gentle, elegant,
and handsome
young man.
The master gave up half
of his family fortune
to save you
from death.
He even sold his business in the capital
to come to this small Lingquan Town,
saying he wanted to start anew.
It was just to find a perfect place
for your peace and quiet.
All of this
is for you, Madam.
You must never
let him down in the future.
- Greetings.
- Greetings.
I'm Fangxie.
She's my younger sister Bicao.
We're both from this town
and will serve the madam diligently.
I heard Madam was injured before.
How did you get hurt?
Where are your manners?
How can you ask
upon meeting Madam?
Are my husband's things here?
Yes, they're all here.
Then why do I only see my clothes,
not his?
Doesn't he live here?
Aren't you
overthinking?
Yes.
It's natural to have doubts
since you don't
see the master often,
but since you've married here,
you must follow our rules.
A woman's words
should not be sharp.
Speak less, act more. Quiet and chaste.
This is how you should
I understand.
I wish to rest for a while.
Nanny Li,
please take this painting to the study.
Yes.
My wrists were injured before.
My husband felt sorry
for me, but I'm much better now.
Nanny Li, just do your job.
Yes.
Madam, you rest first.
I'll go prepare some food.
By the way,
the master
will return tonight.
(Cui Jiu.)
Cui Jiu.
Why are you so late?
How is she?
Her tendons are reconnected,
but the damage is severe.
It's hard for her to fully recover.
She has blood clots in her brain.
She seems awake,
but is in a daze,
half-conscious.
Use whatever means necessary
to cure her.
I'll do my best.
Honey.
What did you call me?
Honey.
Dear.
As expected,
Lu Wen has mobilized half of Mount Yang
to search for Liu Miantang.
He really took the bait.
Everyone in Mount Yang knows
Liu Miantang
is Lu Wen's beloved concubine.
Since she went missing
at the water dock nearby,
Lu Wen
will surely take notice.
Six months ago,
I crippled Lu Wen's foundation,
forcing him to lay low.
But after dealing with him for three years,
I know well
that Lu Wen
is a bandit leader,
but he's a man of pride
and loyalty.
Using Liu Miantang
as the right bait,
he will
definitely show up.
We've been battling for three years.
It's a life-and-death struggle.
He is indeed
a rare formidable enemy.
But for the peace of Zhenzhou,
I must clear Mount Yang of bandits,
so the officials criticizing my garrisoning
have no grounds to speak.
It's a pity for Liu Miantang though,
calling you honey.
You're actually her enemy.
Even her crucial dowry is a deception,
a cover-up
by her caring husband.
Shouldn't you reflect on this?
If you hadn't called me Cui Jiu,
would I be in this situation?
Your surname is Cui,
and you rank ninth.
Should I call you Zhang San?
Come on.
But isn't it a coincidence
her memory cut off
just before going to Mount Yang?
She only remembers
marrying Cui Jiu from the capital.
It's even stranger than fiction.
Everything fell into place
so smoothly.
Fine, fine.
If you
have nothing else,
stay away from Lingquan Town.
Why?
Your mom's birthday's coming.
I'm buying some porcelain for her,
and I
can check on the beautiful lady's
pulse.
You,
don't get involved with Liu Miantang.
Fine.
Master.
Dear.
I'm back.
Honey.
How do you like the new house?
It's nice.
That's good.
Have a seat.
I wanted
to travel with you,
but there were some issues
with business,
so I left early.
You've worked hard
for the business.
I'm fine.
You're still recovering.
Traveling must be
tiring for you.
The tea isn't good,
but do have some
to soothe your throat.
Alright.
Zhang.
You keep telling me we're a loving couple.
What loving couple talks like this,
so politely?
Is something going on with you lately?
No, dear.
What could I possibly be hiding from you?
We are a loving couple.
Stop with that.
Well.
Listen to me.
Well. Explain yourself.
Nanny Li said
the backyard walls are connected.
It's indeed noisy.
Yes.
Tomorrow, find a craftsman
to build a partition.
It'll be fine.
Is your hand better?
Much better.
I take the medicine
from the physician every day.
That's good.
Have you remembered anything?
No worries.
Rest for a few more days.
Then you can go out
and take a walk
to see if there's
anything we need.
You can buy anything
as you please.
What's this?
My dowry.
You spent all your fortune
to cure me.
Now,
I can't even remember our past.
My clumsiness is clear to you.
I feel guilty
and grateful.
We are
husband and wife.
No need for this.
As long as it helps you,
I'm full
of joy.
You used to hug me after every argument.
Now,
you don't even bother.
Dear, don't cry. Come here.
Let me hug my dear wife.
Thank you, dear.
Master.
Shall we dine now?
- Sure.
- Sure.
Yes.
I'm starving
after traveling all day.
Pardon me.
It's fine.
You've improved my appetite.
I mean your behavior.
It's indeed more tasty this way.
The new goods at the dock
need checking and transporting.
I won't be back for a few days.
I've been
embroidering the cloak for days.
Lingquan Town may be in Jiangnan,
but it gets chilly at night.
Take it with you.
Merchants shouldn't wear
crane patterns.
They're eagles.
It feels warm.
Put it on for me.
Alright.
It's not well-embroidered.
You make it look good.
Dear,
are you trying to strangle me?
Physician Zhao said I'm much better,
but my hands are still weak.
It's pretty good.
Glad you remember
your family's martial arts from escorting.
What's the use of remembering
if I can't practice?
If nothing had happened,
I could help
with your business.
But now, the escort agency
has declined,
and I'm useless.
Dear,
I'll
What's this?
Jiangnan's Scent Store's scented powder.
For me?
Of course.
Use it tomorrow
when you dress up.
Don't be sad.
Don't you like it?
I do.
But we need
to save money.
This powder box,
decorated with raden and pearls,
looks expensive.
And this house.
It's hard to go from luxury to thrift. Right?
Dear,
I must go.
Honey,
I heard there are bandits
around the city outskirts.
Be careful.
Alright.
How much is this dangling hairpin?
One guan.
The jade on it is real,
right?
Only one guan?
I misspoke.
One tael of gold.
We're short on money.
Better not to spend recklessly.
Thank you.
You take this.
Okay. It's definitely sweet.
That one is nice too.
I want one like that.
- Is it right to shop like this?
- Why leave?
I mean.
Didn't my husband open a new shop?
I should visit there first.
Nanny Li, where is the shop?
Well,
the master has taken care of everything.
Madam,
don't worry about it.
I'm not worried.
I just want to see the shop
my husband chose.
It's renovating.
All the more reason to go.
I'll give some money,
so the workers will be more diligent.
If they slack off,
I'll scold them for my husband.
The yin-yang balance is off.
- What's wrong?
- Too much yang.
Nanny Li,
why do you look so troubled?
Nothing.
It's
Is something wrong with the shop?
No!
No.
Then was someone injured?
We don't have a shop.
Didn't you just say it was under construction?
What a sin.
What's going on?
What's wrong with the shop?
The master hasn't
secured the shop yet.
Madam, don't ask anymore.
The master
didn't want you to know,
to avoid worrying you.
My husband has been here so long
and still hasn't secured the shop.
How will the business run?
What a sin.
- Look at you all.
- I…
Madam.
My brothers didn't bring money.
The gentleman in the carriage, please
give us some.
(Cui Mansion)
Does Lord Huaiyang have such a big belly?
Zhenzhou County is the richest.
With daily feasts of meat and wine,
of course, his belly's big.
Nonsense. Our Lord Huaiyang in Zhenzhou
is from a family of military generals.
He trains hard daily.
He must be strong.
My nanny is great at roasting chestnuts.
Do you want to try some?
Take them all up the mountain!
- Okay.
- Let's go.
Back to the mountain.
- Let's go.
- Go.
Lord Huaiyang.
By the way, Mrs. Cui,
we haven't seen your husband.
Yes.
What
is he like?
My husband
is a simple merchant from the capital.
Don't come closer!
I'll k*ll him if you do.
Don't come closer!
I'm Huang Gui.
Greetings, Lord Huaiyang.
Please spare my life.
My nanny always says
my husband is honest
and a bit shy
but very kind
and compassionate.
Down.
Up.
Down.
Up.
- Down.
- I'll speak.
I'll speak.
I'll tell you.
My teams
left Mount Yang
and went to the markets
in Qingzhou and Zhenzhou.
What for?
To find someone.
He treats me sincerely.
He didn't leave me
during my hardest times.
He won't deceive me.
My husband loves and respects me.
In short, he's a reliable man.
These are
what your nanny told you?
What do you think?
I?
- Have you heard?
- Pretty.
- Lord Huaiyang set up another ambush.
- Yes.
Caught a few people from Mount Yang.
Did they catch the one named Lu?
Lu is clever.
Not so easy to catch.
I heard Lu robs the rich
to help the poor.
He's helped many unfortunate people.
Really? Is that true?
What are you doing?
- Sorry, Miss.
- It's fine.
Nanny Li.
Give me a pack of this.
This one? Okay.
I made her show herself
- to lure the enemy out.
- Come again.
Anyone around her could be
Lu Wen's informant.
She's such a good woman,
but her hand tendons were cut.
I had to lie that she was hurt by bandits.
Who has such a grudge?
It's too cruel.
Good thing you saved her.
I saved and treated her
to get equal value in return.
Submitting to bandits,
she doesn't deserve these benefits.
Didn't you investigate her?
Her background is clean.
Three years ago, on her wedding day,
she was kidnapped.
She stayed at Mount Yang for three years.
She is
no ordinary woman.
She
is Lu Wen's concubine.
You can believe she lost her memory,
but you can't guarantee
she won't remember something
due to a trigger.
(Wanted)
(Zhang Xi fled to Zhenzhou with a reward
of 30 taels of gold for his capture.)
Nanny Li.
Yes.
This street is bustling.
It's a good place to set up shop.
There's an agency at the corner.
Could you ask about it?
And check the prices
of the shops.
But
you're still injured.
Is it safe alone?
I won't go far.
I'll just be around here.
Yes, it's not very peaceful.
Yes.
(Wanted)
Tan.
My Lady.
I finally found you.
Please sit.
When I heard you were injured,
I rushed here
immediately.
(Miantang's Journal)
(The lady is at the Cui Mansion?)
Wasn't she?
Not what?
I only know
three years ago,
on her wedding day,
she was kidnapped.
By bandits?
My Lady,
do you
really not remember anything?
I have only
vague impressions about you.
How old am I?
What kind of person am I?
What have I done in my life?
It's all fragmented.
Tan,
where have you been all these years?
Remember.
Two years ago,
you left Cui Mansion in the capital
and married to Dongzhou.
After you married into the Cui family,
a year later,
you arranged my marriage
to your cousin in Dongzhou.
On my wedding day,
my maidservant
was named Tan.
Where is she?
She reached marriageable age,
so you found her a match.
She married
in Dongzhou.
You're twenty-two this year
and grew up in the yard
of Beizhou Escort Agency.
You knew in martial arts,
but you've always been
gentle, kind, well-mannered,
and sensible to me.
Really?
Really.
But later,
your father, Magistrate Liu,
was forced into a political dispute
and died unjustly in prison.
Your mother's health also deteriorated.
Master Qiao feared you'd be implicated,
so he arranged the marriage
with the Cui family.
I was sent to serve you.
On the way to the wedding,
were we attacked by bandits?
Tan, what's wrong?
Bandits.
Today, I'm just
after money.
Let the cops know.
Tell the master
the bride was kidnapped.
Miss, you must be mistaken.
The wedding procession
went smoothly.
There were no bandits.
So I just
smoothly married Cui Jiu?
At first, you feared
you were marrying the wrong person,
and didn't speak much on the way.
But after you married Mr. Cui,
you found
Mr. Cui to be honorable.
He never questioned your background
and was always ambitious.
Most importantly,
he treated you well.
In your letters, you said
he moved
to Lingquan Town for you.
I wasn't surprised.
Then I must have remembered wrong.
Such a loss.
What a sin.
Madam.
How did it go?
I asked almost the entire street.
None
meet your price.
How about the one by the river?
We can negotiate.
That one?
They saw you lingering before,
so they're holding out
for a higher price.
If I may speak frankly,
Madam,
this isn't something you should worry about.
Since I invested my dowry,
my husband's business
is also my business.
The Cui family spent so much money on me.
I should repay the favor
and earn it back.
Madam, you have a kind heart.
Li, you jerk.
Stealing my business again?
- You shameless fool.
- Don't shout.
I've given you so many chances.
- How many chances?
- I tell you.
You're utterly shameless now.
You know that?
- Madam.
- I'll beat you.
Be careful. Let's avoid trouble.
Let's go back.
Let the villagers
speak about it.
Nanny Li,
do we have any old, coarse
cloth clothes at home?
Of course not.
Madam, what do you want to do?
(Lord Huaiyang Mansion)
Manager Li.
(Sunshine and Blessings)
My Lord, you're meticulous.
The deployment in Lingquan Town
is flawless.
Even the locals
won't find our men
suspicious.
What about her?
In my opinion,
Madam
Liu shows
no signs of recovering her memory
and won't get suspicious at all.
What does she do
when I'm not around?
She seems
to have fully accepted her new identity,
keeping herself very busy,
determined to help you
her husband, Cui Jiu,
to find a thriving shop
to revive the family business.
I put her on the street.
Instead of colluding with the enemy,
she's helping me in business.
What would you like to eat?
We're not here to buy buns.
We're here to talk business.
Talk business?
What business?
Shopkeeper,
I want to buy your shop.
You want to buy my shop.
For what business?
We deal in funeral goods.
Our house is nearby,
so we want
a shop on this street.
We'll hang two elegy characters on both sides
and place a painting
of "Riding Crane to Heaven" in the center,
with paper boys on horses
to attract neighbors.
Isn't that bad luck for the street?
I don't have much capital,
so your small, used shop
is suitable.
If you offer a sincere price,
I'll decide for my husband today
to buy the shop.
After signing the contract,
it'll be done.
(Funeral)
Turning a bun shop into a funeral shop
is really unlucky.
Indeed.
(Sun's Fried Cakes)
Sir, have a bite.
Have a bite.
No, no.
Miss.
Have a fried cake.
Li,
you sold your shop to a funeral business.
It scared away
my customers.
I'm sincerely wanting
to buy your shop.
The feng shui master said
this corner is lucky for my husband.
Sincere?
Your price
sounds like a joke.
Right.
A shop next to a funeral store
is unlucky.
You may struggle
to sell it
in the future.
My Lord, 70 taels.
Seventy taels for two shops.
Alright, alright.
- Please sit down.
- The lowest price.
No need, My Lord.
Got a new kiln at a low price.
Hired some experienced craftsmen
from porcelain factories.
She stayed at the kiln
asking for everything.
She's fully committed.
So,
she seems gentle,
but her actions
are decisive,
and she handles
social matters very well.
Indeed.
Lu Wen is
a meticulous person.
His concubine
wouldn't be ordinary either.
In my opinion,
Liu
is very capable.
Let her manage
these shops,
so she can
show herself publicly.
Yes.
Also,
give her more money.
I don't want to hear in the future
that she has to bow and scrape
for business
or for anyone.
My Lord,
do you have sympathy?
Young lady,
where are you going?
I haven't
Oh, my.
Did she just glare at me?
My master
is Chen Tu, the nephew
of the garrison here.
If you follow him,
you'll live a good life.
You're being rude.
Young lady.
This little lady
has quite a spirit.
- Where's it?
- The sedan chair?
It's in the alley.
Fangxie.
Wait for me here.
Madam.
Wait here for me.
Alright.
Young lady.
Young lady.
You remind me
of a saying,
"Meeting as if old friends."
How warm.
Ouch, ouch, ouch.
Sir, sir.
Over there.
Watch this. Don't come over.
Now, this hairpin
is piercing his neck
at a vital point.
A bit deeper,
and it will k*ll him.
Shrew!
Let our master go.
No one in this town
or all of Zhenzhou dares to touch our master.
I'm new here,
but I've heard
Lord Huaiyang is strict and fair,
correcting official misconduct
in his jurisdiction.
What?
Even he can't control your master?
My Lord,
a shadow guard reports
Liu just was forced to show martial arts
and fended off three th*gs alone,
using quite vicious methods.
Isn't her hand still injured? Could it be
Has she contacted anyone
or exchanged glances
with someone?
When Liu walks down the street,
every man is giving her looks.
Even women glance at her twice.
Why?
Is she very beautiful?
