Sheng Qingwan Someone like you with fake affection Isn’t even worthy to carry Ruyan’s shoes Sister Brother Yunjie and Madam Hate people like you the most Two-faced liars If you know what’s good for you Just agree to be dismissed Don’t cling to the Marquis Estate Like a mangy dog And be despised by everyone I’ve done nothing wrong I do not agree to the divorce Mother Wouldn’t agree either Oh really? But this divorce letter Was written by Brother Yunjie At Madam’s request What? That’s impossible Why would it be impossible? You don’t still think Madam is Satisfied with you as a daughter-in-law? Isn’t she? She’s just cold by nature But she treats me well Stop flattering yourself If she really liked you Would she have watched As you lived in neglect In the Marquis Estate? And how could she Allow Brother Yunjie To be with me? Sheng Qingwan Let me tell you the truth Mother wanted me To divorce you long ago Is the pregnancy tonic ready? Madam, it’s simmering In the medicine stove Miss Ruyan dislikes bitterness So I had Chun Tao deliver Candied fruit gifted by the palace What? Who did you say you sent it to?

Today In the ancestral hall I shall announce to the ancestors I, Qin Yunjie Am divorcing my wife Even if Madam Truly doesn’t like me I am the rightful wife Entered in the ancestral records You cannot just dismiss me As you please Sheng Qingwan Have some shame Your father Is just a Lowly hunter And now he’s lame Relying on the Marquis Estate’s charity And Brother Yunjie Is the noble heir of the Marquis How can you possibly deserve him? That is not a valid reason for divorce What if You violated one of the seven grounds? The Seven Grounds, huh? Disobedient to in-laws Barren Lewd Jealous Chronic illness Talkative Thief These are the seven grounds Tell me, which one have I committed? You disobey in-laws Jealous and barren Is that not enough? My daughter is not barren Qingwan You haven’t told the heir yet That you’re already carrying His child, have you? What? You’re pregnant too?

You even Gave me the only Jar of preserves Bestowed by the palace Who allowed you To touch my daughter-in-law? That belonged to Qingwan You Weren’t you afraid I’d find the medicine Too bitter to drink? And gave it to me specially? You’re just a maid Who seduced my son How dare you compare yourself To my properly wedded Daughter-in-law Qingwan Do you deserve that? What? I don’t deserve to be compared to Sheng Qingwan? Madam Didn’t you say before That you wanted Brother Yunjie to divorce her And marry me? Yes, Mother Ruyan is now carrying My flesh and blood That is the bloodline of our Qin family How could it be left out? Are you that certain That the child in her womb Is yours? What does Madam mean? Does she know something? Of course Ruyan’s child Can only be mine In my past life Had I not blindly favored This foolish son How could the Marquis’ household Have ended in ruin? All for Liu Ruyan To benefit in the end No matter whose child it is I will not allow you to divorce your wife To marry her Madam I beg you, please save my daughter Please spare her Madam Who is making noise back there? Mother It was a servant Someone come Drag those servants out Please spare her Madam Please, Madam Qingwan truly is carrying The heir’s child No, wait That sounded like My in-law’s voice Mother Just lazy servants I’ve already sent people To drive them to the woodshed Yes, Madam, you must have misheard Yes, Madam, you must have misheard Some servants Just don’t understand rules Huh?

What happened to Qingwan? Madam Qingwan only married into the Marquis’s household Because she admired the heir For the past four years Because the heir did not like her She has always been cautious and reserved Never once doing Anything out of line How could she have betrayed the heir? Madam I know Qingwan is gentle, respectful, and filial She would never betray the heir Stand up and speak Thank you, Madam Madam Please spare Qingwan Don’t take away The child in her womb Take away the child? Who has such audacity To dare remove The legitimate first grandson of the Marquis house?

Of course they are for you I even told the servants To be sure not to get it wrong This Was set aside for my daughter-in-law You are my daughter-in-law Who else could it be but you I thought It was for Liu Ruyan She is just A servant’s daughter How could she Be compared to you Qingwan, remember You are the one and only Heir’s wife in this household Anyone who dares bully you Is going against me And the entire Marquis household Thank you, Mother I should be the one thanking you From now on Mother will be your greatest support If that unfilial son Still refuses to wake up Then let’s just have the grandson and forget the son Qingwan, come Come home with Mother Brother Yunjie If Madam Truly won’t allow you to divorce Then what will happen to me and our child What should we do She She won’t disagree I am after all Her only son But just now— I get it now Mother must be testing me She wants to see My determination and attitude Yes, that must be it Back then When Sheng Qingwan married in Grandmother also Tested her like this Mother Mother must be Following Grandmother’s example That’s why She suddenly Changed her attitude toward you And became so strict She must be Testing our love Qingwan Let’s go offer incense to the ancestors Tell them you are with child now Let’s go Mother You came all this way To pick up Ruyan, didn’t you Mother You came all this way To fetch Ruyan, didn’t you? A girl born of a servant How shameless To think she’s worth me personally coming Mother What do you mean by that? Ruyan Brother Yunjie Stop arguing with Madam Please All these years She has treated me Like her own daughter I’ve always remembered it All these years Even a dog I raised Would know how to be grateful Unlike you A human in appearance, but rotten inside Full of Malice and deceit A belly full of poison Mother, have you gone mad? How could you insult Ruyan like that? My Lord Madam is your elder No matter what she says about me It’s fine Once I marry into this house I will treat Madam Like my own mother Spare me Your self-important thoughts As long as I live You will never Marry my son My daughter-in-law Is Qingwan, and no one else Mother I understand Madam You’ve always favored me And now you’re suddenly harsh Because in your heart You’ve already accepted me as the true daughter-in-law I won’t blame you Instead, I’ll be Even better to you and to the heir I’ll strive to become The woman you want me to be Stop dreaming in broad daylight You’re just Nanny Zhou’s daughter A servant born in this house To the Marquis’ residence You are as insignificant as dust You are not worth Even a shred of my hope Mother I understand. Madam, I will strictly conduct myself as the heir’s wife. I will live up to it. Once your tests are over… I have no interest in wasting words with you. Previously, wherever Yunjie hid you, go back there. Don’t let my daughter-in-law see you again. Mother, Ruyan is pregnant now. Sending her back to the village may be inconvenient. Why not let her stay in my courtyard? Let me make it clear today— Liu Ruyan and her unborn child shall not set foot in this house. Not even half a step. Mother… Mother, no matter how you test Ruyan, she is with child. It is the bloodline of our Qin family. There’s no way I’ll let the Qin bloodline wander outside. And how can you be so sure the child in her belly is yours? Mother, Ruyan has always been kind and proper. To save me, she even lost her sight. In this world, no one loves me more than she does. Ruyan would never betray me. Fine. Since you’re so certain, I’ve heard that Physician Guo from the Imperial Clinic can verify paternity through blood testing. He can determine if the child is truly yours. So how about inviting him here for a proper test? We absolutely cannot do the test! If we do, everything will be over! Mother, please stop making things hard for Ruyan. I swear— the child she carries is truly of the Qin bloodline. Please believe her. Please. Now the entire Marquis’ manor is under my control. Even that foolish son of yours— I’ve already sent him to the execution stand. The Qin family line ends here. Very well. Since you’re so insistent, then let’s do this— wager your title as heir. If— If the child in her belly is not yours, then I will strip you of your title as heir, and throw both of you out of the Marquis’ house. How about that? What?! Brother Yunjie… Please stop arguing with Madam for my sake. Ruyan… You’ve sacrificed too much for me. There’s no way I’ll abandon you and our child again. Yanyan… No one— no one can separate us. Alright. Brother Yunjie… Just listen to Madam and go back. I’ll be fine on my own. No. How can I leave behind you and my child? Hmph. Have you thought it through? You’re willing to give up your title as heir just for her? I love Ruyan. I absolutely won’t allow her to suffer while carrying my child. You are utterly foolish! Qingwan is the one you married through proper rites! Yet you’re running away from home for a mere concubine?! Mother, I know that you’re testing us on purpose. But Ruyan is gentle and reserved, timid too— she can’t withstand your constant pressure. Brother Yunjie… I understand. Madam only tests me because she values me. This small humiliation—I can bear it. Hmph. What do you think you are? You’re nothing more than the daughter of Nanny Zhou. A mere houseborn servant. And yet you dream of climbing high by seducing your master? Even putting on this pitiful act? Who are you pretending for? I won’t. Madam. I won’t return to the Marquis Manor again. Rest assured. Hmph. Ruyan. Very well. Then, keep up that backbone of yours. Don’t you dare walk out now only to sneak back in later. I won’t. If Ruyan doesn’t return, then I will never return either. Good. Then I’ll cut off your funds. Let’s see how long you can survive outside without any money. This… Qingwan. Let’s go home. Ruyan. Don’t be afraid. Brother Yunjie… Madam suddenly treats Qingwan so well. Could it be that she really doesn’t want me and the child? Don’t worry, Ruyan. My mother gave the preserved fruits to Sheng Qingwan just to put on a show. Think about it. She gave you a hundred estates and a hundred shops. That’s right. Mother must be afraid I can’t pass her test. So she gave me land and shops to make up for it. Don’t overthink it. Come on. Let’s head back home first. Liu Kang. Inform all the banks— no loans to the Heir. At all the manor’s estates, deny entry to the Heir and Liu Ruyan. Yes, Madam. Mother… Isn’t this forcing your son onto a dead end? This is just the beginning. Without showing some teeth, how will he realize his own worth? I’ve already protected my daughter-in-law and grandson. As for that unfilial son— if he insists on staying away, then let him die out there. Sigh. Apologies, Young Lord. Your seal can no longer be exchanged for silver notes. I… Brother Yunjie… What on earth is going on? Shopkeeper. Could you perhaps lend me some small silver notes? Young Lord, I beg you, please don’t make it hard on this old man. It must be my mother… What a head lady the Marquis Manor has. So ruthless. She said no money— and gave no money. I’m her own son! What should we do now… Let’s head back to the estate first. Sigh… We’re going back to the estate? What does that mean? Why won’t you let me in? What are you doing? Yunjie… Ah… That hurts! Young Lord, Ruyan—
(Brother Yunjie) Young Lord, Ruyan! Are you both okay? Guards! Arrest someone! Momo. What on earth is going on? It’s all the Madam’s orders. Madam had Steward Liu send word— no money from any bank for you, and no estate is to take you in either. Young Lord, this is a bit of savings I’ve kept aside. Please take it for now. I get it now… The Madam is doing this to force us back to the manor. Exactly. Mother has cut off all my means of survival— just to force us home. She’s just looking for a way out for herself. Then what are we waiting for? Let’s welcome the Young Lord, the Lady, and the little heir back to the Marquis Manor. Ruyan. I’ll have the servants prepare a room for you right away. And brew some fetal protection medicine. Thank you, Brother Yunjie. You’re so good to me. But… I’m afraid of bitter medicine. Don’t worry. That jar of candied fruit was meant for you anyway. I’ll make sure it gets back to you. Then mother and I will go wash up first. Brother Yunjie, your injury from earlier… Is it okay? Ah… It’s fine, don’t worry. Just a little painful, that’s all. We came back just in time. Today when the Madam returned from the ancestral hall, she had Steward Liu invite Doctor Zhao over. Doctor Zhao— he’s a master in fetal care. Really? Of course. The formula contains rare herbs you see once in a century. I knew it— Becoming the heir’s wife is as good as settled. Of course. You’re carrying the legitimate firstborn grandson of the Qin family. The Marquis Manor values heirs above all. A mother rises in status because of her child. Your blessings are only just beginning. Mother, your blessings are just beginning too. Young Madam, this is the fetal protection medicine Doctor Zhao brewed under Madam’s orders. For you. Please tell my mother— I’ll finish every last drop. Chunxi. Miss Ruyan is back. Quickly bring Miss Ruyan’s fetal protection medicine. But… But the fetal medicine— It was for the Young Madam. Isn’t the Young Madam right here? Since when— Since when did she become the Young Madam? Yo. Some people are really putting on airs now. Sheng Qingwan, you’ve been in the Marquis Manor for four years, and you still don’t know your place? How dare you fight over the fetal tonic meant for the Young Madam? Nanny Zhou, what did you just call me? Sheng… Young Madam. I am the Young Madam of the Marquis Manor. Drinking the tonic my mother-in-law prepared for me— is there a problem? Stop flattering yourself. That medicine was prepared for me by the Madam. You are nothing but a servant’s daughter, a household-born maid. How dare you fight your mistress over tonic? Your days as Young Madam won’t last much longer. The child in Ruyan’s belly is the future little heir of the Manor. The Madam will soon throw you out of this house. That’s right. Do you still dare drink that tonic? It was meant for me. Why wouldn’t I? Chunxi, what are you waiting for? Grab the medicine! The Madam instructed me to personally serve the Young Madam her tonic. I cannot— Chunxi! Everyone knows how the Madam favors Ruyan and despises the Young Madam. Anyone with eyes can see that. Yes, Chunxi. If you take the wrong side today, tomorrow when I become the official Young Madam, you’ll be the first to be caned to death. Hand it over! Miss Ruyan. This… This was really Madam’s instruction. I… I have to obey the Madam. You lowly maid! I’ll have you flogged to death right now! Don’t make things hard for Chunxi. You want the tonic, huh? I’ll drink it right now! What are you doing? Liu Ruyan! Oh no! What just fell? Is this the miracle tonic personally prepared by the Madam for me? You did it on purpose! What are you talking about? I don’t understand. I can’t even see. How could I have done it on purpose? Oh no! Young Madam… I’m sorry! It’s all my fault! But my eyes… I really can’t see! I didn’t mean to, I swear! Please have mercy on me! I know I was wrong! Please don’t hit me, I beg you! Sheng Qingwan! What are you doing? Qin Yunjie, you can’t stand to see her suffer even a little? Is that it? Sheng Qingwan! Stop changing the subject. You know Ruyan lost her sight for me. Why would you still bully her? Why? Yunjie… It’s okay. As long as I have your love, no amount of mistreatment can hurt me. But I won’t let you suffer. Don’t worry, Ruyan. What’s yours— including me— no one can take it away. And they don’t deserve to. Yunjie… Thank you for getting the preserved fruit back. You’re so good to me. Preserved fruit? How did you know? Aren’t you supposed to be blind? What? Are you pretending to be blind? I… I wasn’t… I just smelled the sweetness of the preserves in advance. Sister… Why do you always wrong me? Sheng Qingwan, if you don’t want to be thrown out of the house, then stop stirring up trouble. Looks to me like the blind one here is you. You… Young Master… Miss Ruyan… The Prefect’s sedan has already set off. He’s coming here. Young Master, did you forget? Madam said she would give one hundred shops and one hundred plots of land to Miss Ruyan. The Prefect is coming to witness it. Oh… Right, right, right… Mother wanted it to be formal, so she specially invited someone respectable to witness the deed. Ruyan, as long as you stamp and sign the papers, all of it— everything— will be yours. Really? As long as I stamp it, those 100 shops, and 100 plots of land, will all be mine? Of course. Mother loves you so much. These things— they were meant to be yours. But Madam said… she was giving them to me. Young Madam… Did you really think just because we call you Young Madam… you’re the real mistress of the marquis estate? It’s true. Madam specifically ordered the gift was for the Young Madam. I’m the future Young Madam. Chunxi, can’t you see yet— where the Young Master’s heart lies? I am the future Young Madam. Chunxi, don’t you see yet where the Young Master’s heart lies? Chunxi, stop wasting time with her. Go and check when Madam will be heading to the front hall. Sending Chunxi away— is it just to avoid embarrassment in front of the servants? In that case, pack your things and get out of the estate. Don’t wait for Madam to kick you out and make things even uglier. Since when did you, Nanny Zhou, become the decision-maker of the marquis estate? Hmph. Hasn’t it always been Ruyan and me in charge? Right? Sister, do you think just because I’ve lost my sight, you can bypass me and take over the household? The one who makes decisions here is the managing nanny. You’re just a house-born maid. Watch your words. Once I marry Ruyan, she will be the future Young Madam, of course she can take charge. If not for that ridiculous “daughter-in-law test” game, I would’ve kicked you out long ago. What a bold claim to authority. My mother is still alive. When did it become your turn to rule this household? Ruyan was born and raised in the estate. My mother raised her like half a daughter. Everyone in the estate knows it. Of course my mother approves of her managing this household. Of her being in charge. Young Master, Young Madam, the Prefect has arrived at the gate. Don’t bother pretending anymore. After all, those hundred shops and hundred plots of land are all meant for me. How petty of you. Young Madam, please wait. Lord Prefect— do you still need me here? Lord Prefect— she’s not important. Young Master, this transfer deed is worth tens of thousands in gold. If the Young Madam is not present, how can we proceed? Lord Prefect, does she absolutely have to be here? Yes. Was this my mother’s idea? This matter— must be decided by Madam Qin herself. Could it be my mother wants Qingwan to witness it herself, so that she’ll lose all hope and leave the estate on her own? Yunjie… I’m sure Madam meant no insult. She just wants Sister to understand the stance of the household. So be it. Fine. If I must be present, then I’ll stay. Sister, Madam gifted me a dowry worth ten thousand taels of gold. Don’t take it too hard. After all, in Madam’s heart, you’ll never compare to me. Ruyan, don’t waste words on an outsider. Outsider? Young Madam, how gracious of you. I’m Qin Yunjie’s wife— the rightful Young Madam of the estate. If I made a fuss every time someone called me an outsider, it would only bring shame to the estate. People would say we don’t welcome others. Sheng Qingwan, when did you gain the right to speak for this household? Sheng Qingwan, when did you ever gain the right to represent the Marquis estate? Because I am still the Young Madam. Sister, to welcome me into the household, Mother gave me a hundred shops, a hundred plots of land. And you’ve been married into the estate for four years— what has Mother ever given you? A single jar of preserves. Ruyan… don’t poke at the Young Madam’s sore spot. True. After all, I received Yunjie’s one and only love— and a gift worth ten thousand taels of gold from Madam. I should indeed remain humble. Mother dislikes flashy women. Even if Mother gave you a mountain of gifts— I would still be the Young Madam of the estate, the legal wife of Qin Yunjie. Sheng Qingwan, I know— having you stay here to witness my mother’s love for Ruyan would make you jealous. But— if you didn’t hear it with your own ears, see it with your own eyes, you’d never give up. You’d never be willing to leave. Young Madam, how gracious and tolerant you are. If a person is bitten by a dog, do they bite back? Young Madam, you truly carry the grace of a noble lady. No wonder Madam Qin chose you. Lord Prefect, please don’t praise her so much, lest outsiders think our estate can’t do without her. Our Marquis Estate certainly cannot do without Qingwan. Mother… Madam… In my previous life, it wasn’t until after giving birth that Liu Ruyan’s sight was restored. But looking at her now— so nimble— she doesn’t seem blind at all. Someone must be sent to uncover the truth immediately. Madam Mother, shall we begin? Lord Prefect, all three parties are present. Shall we begin? Ruyan, come quickly, sit beside Mother. What kind of occasion is this? What gives her the right to sit? Mother, we’re here today to sign the transfer deed. Why can’t Ruyan sit? She’s just a maid. What is there to sit for? Stand aside. Ruyan is still pregnant. Ruyan is still pregnant. Granny Zhou, who asked for your opinion here? Mother, on such a joyous occasion, why be so harsh? Brother Yunjie, listen to Mother. I’ll just sit here, it’s fine. It doesn’t matter. Qingwan, come— sit beside Mother. Sheng Qingwan, don’t you realize you’re being used? If Mother truly cared about you, how could she possibly give shops and land worth thousands of gold taels to me instead? Today, I am honored to have invited Lord Prefect to serve as witness for me. I intend to gift one hundred shops of the marquis estate, and one hundred parcels of land, free of charge to my daughter-in-law as her personal property. Madam Qin, you are too kind. Here are your land and title deeds, and the registry from the capital office. If everything looks correct, please place your seal, then your fingerprint. All done. Young Madam, it’s your turn. Brother Yunjie, double-check for me. I just had the seal engraved— there’s no issue, right? No issue. Lord Prefect, I just need to place the seal and my fingerprint, and it’s done, right? I just need to place the seal, and then my fingerprint, and it’s done, right? Young Master, Ruyan can’t see. In a moment, please guide her on where to place her fingerprint and where to stamp. Of course. Come. Ruyan, in a moment, wherever I tell you to stamp, just stamp there. I know, Brother Yunjie. Even though I can’t see, I can still handle a seal and a fingerprint. Come. Ruyan. Could I have misunderstood? Did Madam Qin actually mean to gift it to the future young madam? Mother… I just remembered I haven’t taken my medicine. I’ll head back and drink it. Wait. The transfer is paused. We’ll resume once the Young Madam returns. Mother, must you really have me witness this personally? I want you to personally complete it. Fine. I’ll leave once she’s done stamping. Sheng Qingwan, this thorn in your heart— I’ll make sure it’s driven deep into your soul. You failed to keep a man’s heart, and your mother-in-law’s affection, too. Come, Ruyan. Stamp here. Mother, what are you doing? Madam… I haven’t even finished stamping and signing. What are you stamping? What fingerprint? Are you the Young Madam of this house? Madam… The shops and estates worth ten thousand taels— aren’t they meant for me? How could the marquis estate’s precious property be given to an outsider? From the beginning, I always intended to give them to my good daughter-in-law— Sheng Qingwan. Give it to her? How could you? Madam, I am carrying the first heir of this house. I am the future Young Madam. The first heir, is it? Perfect. The Prefect here is quite familiar with Director Guo from the Imperial Clinic. Why not have the Prefect introduce you? Let Director Guo confirm the identity of the child you’re carrying. How about that? Madam, must you push me like this? How am I pushing you? I’m merely asking you to prove the child’s bloodline. That counts as pushing? Madam, I know you’re deliberately testing me. But if you keep being this aggressive, then even if you gift me these properties, I won’t take them. I refuse to be humiliated. You really think you’re that important. Mother, Ruyan has a gentle nature— can’t you stop pressuring her so harshly? Qin Yunjie, do you really think I’m testing her? Aren’t you? Mother, if you truly want a grandchild, then give the deeds to Ruyan. Otherwise, if she gets truly angry, you’ll regret it too late. You— Ruyan, don’t be afraid. I’ll stand by you. With your love and support, I want nothing else. Mother, you’ve gone too far. If you truly offend Ruyan and she walks away, what you lose won’t just be a grandson. You’ll lose your only son too. Qin Yunjie, get out of my sight now. Liu Kang, stop Qin Yunjie and Liu Ruyan. Don’t let them delay important business with Qingwan. Yes, Madam. Qingwan, come. Stamp your seal. Mother, using my seal— isn’t that inappropriate? Why would it be? Qingwan, remember— Men lie. Money doesn’t. A man can betray you. But wealth won’t. Come. Stamp your seal. Press your fingerprint. Mother, are you out of your mind? You really want Sheng Qingwan to stamp? Just because you’re mad at us? If she really stamps it, you’ll have to redo the whole transfer— and the Prefect will have to come all over again! Sheng Qingwan, you should know— these things don’t belong to you. Sheng Qingwan, you’ve held onto the title of Young Madam for four years. And now what— you still want to hold onto her property too? Ignore them. Stamp. Ignore them. Stamp it. Sheng Qingwan— I dare you to stamp it. Sheng Qingwan— You actually stamped it? A hundred thousand taels of gold—gone. All gone. Sheng Qingwan— Do you really love taking what belongs to others? You stole my childhood sweetheart, my position as the Young Madam— and now even my inheritance? Holding it doesn’t burn your hands? Where do you get the nerve to claim these things as yours? Old Madam, you’ve gone too far today. Ruyan, it’s my mother who went too far. One day, she’ll be the one begging us. Exactly. The Qin family has only one heir. And the child in my belly is that heir. Dream on. Liu Kang— get these two noisy pests out of my sight. No! Nanny Zhou— do you want to leave with them too? No… Old Madam— this old servant will follow you to the end. Young Master, please leave. Old Madam Qin— remember this: we’re not being driven out today. We’re walking out on our own. Even if you come begging someday, we won’t come back. Save it. Now get out. Cut the crap. Get out, both of you! Madam Qin, you’re being too ruthless. Don’t come to regret it. Ruyan, let’s go. Madam Qin, one day it won’t just be a hundred shops and a hundred plots of land that can buy my forgiveness. That’s my daughter—so bold! Someone finally needs to put Madam Xue in her place. You— a housemaid’s daughter, a slave born into servitude. I pitied you— returned your contract of servitude back to your family. And now you have the audacity to expect someone like me— a third-rank titled lady— to apologize to you? It’s true— my status is not worth mentioning. But Madam Qin, your only son, your only grandson— they’re both on my side. What do you have left to fight with? This white lotus you’ve been hiding for over a decade— Finally showing your true colors. I used to never fight or compete. But now— the little heir is about to be born. If I still don’t fight for what rightfully belongs to me, then I’m failing my son. The only one you can fool is that foolish man. Aside from that fool, if you can swindle even a single coin from the Marquis estate, I’ll consider it my loss. Madam Qin, the harsher your words now, the harder the slap in the face later. You better think carefully. Ruyan, am I wrong? The little heir is about to be born. As the father, you can’t let him be treated unfairly. Ruyan, I promised you— from now on, you, me, and the baby in your belly— we’ll face everything together. Then back off now. Then step back right now. Please. Madam Qin, if you can’t offer more than 100,000 taels of gold in compensation, I absolutely won’t return to the Marquis estate. You’d better prepare for no one to care for you in your old age. How dare you! Liu Ruyan, is that how you speak to your elders? What? Struck a nerve? Let me tell you— it’s too late now. If you can’t offer ten times the compensation, I will not consider marrying into the Marquis estate again. Madam Qin, don’t blame Ruyan. Blame yourself. You insisted on using tests to humiliate her. If this unfilial son is beyond saving, then I don’t want him anymore. Back then, I shouldn’t have helped him regain his sight. What? So Yunji regaining his vision was because of Qingwan? Liukang, kick these two out of here! Wait! We’re leaving of our own accord today— not because you’re driving us out. We’ll be waiting for your regret. Touch Ruyan once and see what happens. Ruyan, let’s go. Just a servant’s daughter, and yet she dares to point at me and bark! Just a mere servant’s daughter, and she dares to point at me and shout? Mother, don’t get too upset. It’s not worth it. Qingwan, thank goodness you’re here. Lord Prefect, the documents have all been sealed. Please review them. Everything looks good. Crown Princess, you truly have a good mother-in-law. Then I shall take my leave. Thank you, Lord Prefect. I also think Mother is the best mother-in-law in the world. Qingwan, you’re like a daughter to me. Of course I care for you. Nanny Zhou, see the Lord Prefect out. Yes, Madam. My Lord, this way, please. Farewell. Qingwan, tell me— about Yunji’s eyes. Qingwan, tell me, about Yunji’s eyes. It’s nothing. You misheard me. Qingwan, the Marquis’ family has only one heir per generation. And the marquis passed away early. In this marquis household, it’s just you and me now. If there’s anything, just tell Mother. Mother will stand up for you. Mother, actually, back then when Yunji was poisoned in both eyes, I was the one who saved him. When he was injured while on assignment in Mobei, I was the one who found him, and I took care of him. I never knew you were the one who saved Yunji. Mother, do you truly believe I was the one who saved him, not Liu Ruyan? I cared for him for months. To help him see again, see this world, I went to beg a shaman, who transferred the poison into my body. What? You had the poison transferred to yourself? Then your eyes… Maybe it’s because of my unique constitution. I can still see. But… I developed a heart condition. What? Whenever the seasons change, I feel as if something is churning in my chest, the pain is unbearable. It can last the entire night. I don’t even know if it’ll affect the baby I’m carrying. Qingwan… I had no idea you’ve endured so much pain over the years. Mother… I’ll send for the imperial physician right away to treat you. Trust me, Mother. Of course I believe you. But Yunji doesn’t believe me. He’s never believed me. Qingwan… How about… you divorce him? Mother… I… Looks like you still can’t let go of Yunji. Then how about we give him one last chance? As long as he can break it off with that Liu Ruyan… Mother, I just want to know— the one he truly loves, is it Yanyan… or his childhood sweetheart, Liu Ruyan? No matter who he loves, if he refuses to return to the marquis manor, then I’ll consider him dead to me. Now that you have a child in your belly, you and I, as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, can raise another together. Qingwan. You’re pregnant now. Go and get some rest. I’ll go right away to find the best doctor to treat you. Liukang. Take my name card and invite Doctor Tan to check the pulse of the heir’s wife. Forget it. Doctor Tan has a strange temper. He says the patient’s first visit must be made in person. Escort the heir’s wife yourself to visit him personally. Yes, Madam. Also, go investigate when the heir had his accident in the desert— who was the one caring for him. Understood, Madam. How much is it? You bought the tangerine candied hawthorn. He still remembers I only love tangerines, not hawthorn. Ruyan, look— guess what I bought you? Yunji… You gave her my favorite thing. Do you care more about me— or about her? I don’t want street-stall trash! You’re the heir of a noble house, not a beggar on the street! I don’t want it. Street-stall trash? You’re the heir of a noble house, not some beggar on the street. Ruyan… Back in the desert, you were the one always craving candied hawthorn from the capital. That’s why I bought it for you. But things are different now. We have a child on the way. How can we just eat random street food like this? Ruyan… Qin Yunji. Let me tell you— I can suffer with you, I can follow you without name or title. But I will never let our child be born into a life of instability. Ruyan, I understand. Today it was my mother who went too far. I don’t care about the shops and land from the marquis estate. I just want to hold my ground. If you want me to change my mind, then compensate me tenfold. Fine—it’s all yours. Ruyan… In the Qin family, we pass down the line through only sons. I’m my mother’s only son. All our land, shops, and titles will one day be mine— and our child’s. Then give them to me now. My mother’s still angry. I can’t get hold of them just yet. Then come find me when you can. Ruyan, where are you going? None of your business. Come find me when you have 100,000 taels of gold. Sheng Qingwan. Why are you here? Go home. My mother sent you, didn’t she? I knew it. My mother may have a sharp tongue, but she has a soft heart. Ruyan… What now? I knew it— my mother was just being petty. We can return to the marquis manor now. Too late for regrets now. Too late? Then what will it take for you to come back? Two conditions. First, you divorce Sheng Qingwan immediately. Second, your mother must personally bring 100,000 taels of gold and beg me to marry into the marquis family. Agreed. I agree to everything. I’ll go back right now and tell my mother this great news. What was I even hoping for? The Yunji from the desert— in my heart, he’s already dead. Sheng Qingwan. How dare you let this heir get soaked! It was Liu Ruyan who made you stand in the rain. I came to hold an umbrella for you. You came to hold an umbrella? Then why are you standing there? Because I realized— you no longer need it. Playing hard to get? Playing hard to get? Playing hard to get? You’re overthinking it. I just feel that the old me was pitiful and hateful. Clinging to something that didn’t belong to me— of course I was detestable. Wait. Where are you going? Qin Yunji, from now on we’re done for good. Sheng Qingwan! Don’t think that doing this will soften my heart. Even if you die in the rain, I won’t spare you a glance! The Young Master has returned! Young Master! Why are you so soaked? I’ll have Chuntao make a bowl of ginger soup for the Young Master right away. Nanny Zhou. Go on with your work. Yes, sir. Stop right there. Did I say you could leave? Mother. You’ve had enough of playing matriarch these days, right? Can you stop your childish tests? I really don’t understand— how did I end up as your son? Enough! Can you stop using emotional blackmail to force me to obey you? You— You— You— Mother, have you lost your mind? I’m your only child, the sole bloodline of the Qin family! What are you doing? What am I doing? Since you can’t understand words, as your mother, I’ll beat some sense into you! How dare you favor a concubine! How dare you bully Qingwan! Qingwan is still pregnant! And you snatched her umbrella? Letting a young woman walk home alone in the rain? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs? I knew it—Sheng Qingwan, that woman is sowing discord! She’s just afraid I’ll divorce her, so she cozies up to you to win your favor! Mother, can’t you see that? Qingwan is such a good girl! And yet you still let her down! All those years of studying— did they all go into a dog’s stomach? Can’t you even tell a fake white lotus from the real? You’ve really disappointed me. Mother, if you say one more word, I will never return to the marquis’ manor. The situation is different now. I have more choices than just you. My daughter-in-law is carrying my precious grandson. This household— come back if you want, or don’t. Mother, since you want to hold a grandson so badly, then prepare one hundred thousand taels of gold, and personally beg Ruyan to return. Otherwise, don’t even dream of ever holding a grandson again. The one in Liu Ruyan’s belly— you cherish that one yourself. The one in Qingwan’s belly, that’s my precious grandson, the true young heir of our marquis’ manor. Fine. Mother. If you’re not afraid of the marquis’ manor becoming a laughingstock to the world, then go ahead and look after Sheng Qingwan and that precious baby in her belly. You— You brat! You— You think you’ve grown wings now, huh? Daring to speak to your mother like that? Mother— I’ll beat you to death! Sheng Qingwan is not carrying my child! Are you crazy? Guards! Young Master. A few months ago, you did in fact enter the lady’s chambers. And you left behind this jade pendant. Yanyan. My husband… It was while I was sunning the bedding for Lady Qingwan today that I found the jade pendant in the bed. Even if the child in Sheng Qingwan’s belly is mine, the one in Ruyan’s belly is mine too. Mother, you can’t favor one and neglect the other. Besides, you clearly prefer Ruyan more. That fondness for Liu Ruyan was just for show. It’s Qingwan whom I truly love. Right now, my daughter-in-law got soaked in the rain and is feeling unwell. Go keep her company. I should comfort her? I got soaked too! Why isn’t she coming to comfort me? Then remember this from now on: Caring for your wife is your duty as a husband! Ruyan is still waiting for me to pick her up. But with Mother still trying to test me, I have to obey for now. Fine. I promise you. Let me tell you— If you can’t appease Qingwan, then forget about being the heir of the marquis’ manor. I’ll appease her. She— She endured all kinds of hardship from Grandmother just to marry me. She loved me so much— if I just give her a slightly nicer attitude, she’ll instantly come running back to me. If you know how much Qingwan loves you, how could you still hurt her like this? What exactly are you thinking? Running after some wild weed out there? Have you had it too good for too long? You have fine rice at home and don’t eat it, and you go chew on coarse grains outside? Mother— Why do you have to speak so harshly now? You never used to talk to me like this. This… This Sheng Qingwan— she’s put a spell on you! Son— you’re the one who’s been cursed! If you listen to your mother, our marquis’ household will prosper forever! But if you insist on staying with Liu Ruyan, then our household will face utter ruin! Oh Mother, stop believing those nonsense superstitions from street fortune tellers. As for Liu Ruyan— I’m marrying her for sure. Stop right there! Sheng Qingwan, listen to me— I’ve never loved you! I married you because it was Grandmother’s dying wish! You, as my wife— I absolutely do not want anymore! You little brat! Still talking nonsense? I’ll beat you to death! Mother— A forced relationship brings no happiness. Qin Yunji, let’s get divorced. What? You want a divorce? Qin Yunji. Let’s divorce. I’ll leave the Marquis’ Manor. I don’t agree to the divorce. Sheng Qingwan, don’t think that playing hard to get will make me see you any differently. Sheng Qingwan, you really know how to act in front of my mother, huh? If I stamp this divorce paper, will you find an excuse not to go through with it? I’ve already put my fingerprint on it. Sheng Qingwan, what trick are you playing now? To let you go, and also to free myself. Qingwan, if you’ve truly given up on this man, and want a divorce, I won’t stop you. Mother, if that’s how you feel, then I’ll stamp it. Hold on. Wait. If you’re really going to divorce, then let me draft the divorce document. Please. I want to transfer all the Marquis Manor’s assets to the child in Qingwan’s belly. What? As for you, you’ll leave the manor with nothing. Mother, I’m the one who is your only child! The sole heir of the Qin family! You want to give all of the Qin family’s assets, even the hereditary title, to the child in her womb? My son is useless. I’ll transfer my personal assets to my future grandchild. What’s wrong with that? But I’m still your only child! Your only one! You don’t have to be. I’ve finally seen through it— you only take from me. If I were in danger, would you even care if I lived? You’re my mother— how could I not care about you? If you want to throw your life away, I won’t stop you. If you want to leave with nothing and chase after another woman, then go ahead. If she’s willing to follow you faithfully even when you’re penniless,then I must be blind. Mother. Qingwan. What on earth are you playing at? Didn’t you want a divorce? We’re fulfilling your wish for love. I’ll draft a new divorce agreement for you. I don’t agree! Why not? If I leave with nothing, without 100,000 gold taels, Ruyan won’t marry me. So we must not divorce. I’m the Heir of the Marquis House, the only Qin bloodline. If anyone leaves, it’ll be Sheng Qingwan. I… will never walk away with nothing. It’s not up to you now. It’s my daughter-in-law Qingwan who doesn’t want you. Fine then, Sheng Qingwan, why didn’t I see before how scheming you really are? Retreat to advance, manipulating my mother. Qin Yunjie, to be unloved is a sin. I have nothing more to say to you. Feeling wronged now? Do you even know Ruyan is pregnant right now? She’s alone out there, no one taking care of her. Her grievances are a hundred, a thousand times greater than yours. How much you care for her is none of my concern. Save your words— they mean nothing to me. Liu Kang. Where is Liu Ruyan? Madam, after separating from the young master, Liu Ruyan got into a carriage and went to Yinfeng Residence in the east of the city. That place belongs to the second son of the Jing’an Count’s manor, Li Xuan. It’s where he keeps his mistress. Anyone can ask around and find that out. Qin Yunjie, you’d better listen carefully now. This… That’s impossible. Ruyan hates those kinds of lewd places the most. How could she possibly go with Li Xuan? Impossible! You must be mistaken. Absolutely impossible! My Lord, Liu Ruyan is currently at Yinfeng Residence, and Young Master Li is there too. You may send someone to verify. I speak not a word of falsehood. How is that possible? How could Ruyan like Li Xuan? No way! Absolutely not! This is just the beginning— and you already can’t take it? Qingwan. Let’s go. We’re leaving. Tell Mother— what did that Doctor Tan tell you the other day? What are you still standing there for? Waiting for a silver reward? Someone! Guards! Go, go! Go to Yinfeng Residence in the east of the city. Investigate for me— did Ruyan go there? Now go! Divine Physician Tan, what brings you here? It was the young madam— she saved my cat today. I’ve decided to personally visit the Marquis Manor and treat her heart condition before I take my leave. That’s wonderful! Wait! What is it? This is the heir. He seems… physically unwell. What nonsense are you talking? Divine Physician Tan, please check my son’s pulse! Quickly, I beg you! My Lord, a few days ago— were you injured? Yes, why? *sighs* My Lord, your foundation has been damaged. You are now infertile. What? Impossible! How could I— How could I be infertile?! Divine Physician Tan, do you want to check again, perhaps? Could it be a mistake? *sighs* I’ve practiced medicine for decades— my reputation is renowned across the land. How could I be mistaken? My Lord, let me ask you— a few days ago, were you injured down there? It hurt at the time— but afterward it was just a bit bruised. What are you doing? Ah— it hurts! Exactly. At the time, it hurt a little— but then it stopped, so I ignored it. Divine Physician Tan, please save my son! *sighs* This condition has no cure. There’s nothing more I can do. What? I’m still young, how can I be infertile already? Divine Physician, is there really no other way? Any healer, when faced with this situation, can only admit defeat. Then what hope is there for the rest of my life? However, My Lord, don’t be too discouraged. Although you can’t have children, it doesn’t affect… function. Besides, the Lady Consort is carrying a male heir. The Marquis household will still have a young heir to inherit the title. That should bring you some comfort. Thank you, Divine Physician. That child in Sheng Qingwan’s belly— who knows where it came from? Only my daughter’s child is a true golden treasure. Everything in the Marquis household will soon belong to my daughter! What is that you’re serving? Replying to the Young Lord, this was prescribed by Divine Physician Tan for the Lady Consort’s heart condition. She has a heart condition? Yes. Four years ago, after the Lady Consort returned from Mobei, she developed a heart ailment. Nonsense! When did she ever go to Mobei? Get out! Snowy Qingwan, feelings adrift like scrolls, Camel bells fade far, love lingers on. When we reunite, hand in hand, We’ll look back at the Milky Way, fading into lonely smoke. Sound familiar? You wrote that? Well, it certainly wasn’t Liu Ruyan. Nonsense! That poem was written by Ruyan herself! That poem only has a first half. If you say I didn’t write it, why not have your precious childhood sweetheart recite the second half? Sheng Qingwan, first you had Chunxi mention Mobei on purpose to lure me here, then you showed me the poem you stole. You really are calculating. Think whatever you want. So this is what it feels like not to love anymore. No matter how many knives he throws, I saw it with my own eyes. Not only was Miss Liu at Yinfeng Residence, even Young Master Li entered, and never came back out. This… How is that possible? In Ruyan’s world, there’s only me. I trusted her so deeply, how could she possibly be involved with such a playboy? Seems like Ruyan has hidden much from me. Madam, I received a pigeon dispatch from Mobei. Four years ago, the Lady Consort did go to Mobei. This was drawn by an artist there— a portrait of the Young Lord and Lady Consort. It really is Qingwan. Yunji is so blind. If only he had trusted Qingwan even a little, he wouldn’t have been deceived for so long by another woman. There’s one more thing I found. Speak. The day after the Young Lord left for Mobei, Liu Ruyan was taken to Yinfeng Residence by Young Master Li. Such a shameless, fickle woman! I must let Yunji see her true face with his own eyes. Liukang. Go. Go bring the Young Lord here. Yes, madam. Mother. Yunji… Go bring Ruyan back. Mother, I knew it— you were just testing Ruyan. But, what changed your mind? Things are different now. You can’t have children. And Ruyan— she’s pregnant with your child. But Ruyan has a condition. What condition? She wants one hundred thousand taels of gold, and for you to beg her personally. Only then will she return. She wants one hundred thousand taels of gold, and for you to personally beg her. Only then will she return. Very well. I’m heading to the palace tomorrow anyway for the Empress Dowager’s flower banquet. Perfect timing— I’ll bring back the Eastern Sea luminous pearl she bestows upon me. I’ll hand it to Ruyan personally. Really? Not only that— your father’s Marquis title, you haven’t even inherited it yet. This time I’ll request the decree to pass it directly to your wife’s unborn child. That’s wonderful! I’ll go tell Ruyan right away. Go on, then. Living this life again, I must change the fate of the Marquis manor. As for this son… looks like he’s truly useless. From now on, I’ll properly raise the little heir in Qingwan’s belly. It’s been so long already. That person… Could it be he can’t come up with a hundred thousand taels? What’s there to worry about? Qin Yunjì has always seen you as his savior. Besides, he thinks the child in your belly is his. That man won’t abandon you. You really do know him best, darling. Ruyan… Are you in there? We’re about to see the light at the end of the tunnel— please don’t break my heart now. Good news, good news! Mother, Ruyan! Just now, the Madam said tomorrow she’ll attend the Empress Dowager’s flower banquet and ask her to grant you the tribute East Sea Night Pearls. Really? Not only that— the Madam also said she will directly petition to pass on the marquis title of the marquis estate to the child in your belly, the young heir. That’s wonderful! Looks like I’ve passed the test. Hahahaha! The Loyal and Brave Marquis Estate— will soon be entirely ours. You don’t know— the Madam is panicking now. Qin Yunjì has been injured, and is now infertile. The child in your belly, is the Qin family’s eleventh generation— and the only heir. Infertile? Then I must protect this golden treasure in my belly! A hundred thousand taels of gold and a pair of night pearls— that’s not enough! Right— what I want is the entire Marquis Estate! Ruyan— the marquis estate will soon be ours. All of this— we owe it to Qin Yunjì, that deeply devoted fool! Hahahahaha! He should be on his way to the inn now. I’ll go back and wait— for the hundred thousand taels of gold and the night pearls. But… if Ruyan isn’t in there, and I’ve misunderstood her, will it break her heart? But… If Ruyan isn’t in there, and I’ve wronged her, will it break her heart? Good for you, Liu Ruyan… Just how many more things are you hiding from me? Yan’er— Quick, drink it while it’s hot. While you weren’t home, those tonics— that Shen Qingwan almost drank all of them already. Chunxi— That medicine was prepared for Qingwan by Mother. If there’s one bowl missing, how will you explain that? Miss Liu, please give it back to me. It’s just a bowl of tonic. You make it sound like I’m desperate to drink it. My lord— how could you act like this? Ruyan finally gathered the courage to return and see you. Didn’t you say you’d give her all the valuables in the house? And now you scold her— just for drinking a bit of tonic? Granny Zhou— those tonics were bought by my mother. If you have a problem with that, I can call my mother here, and you can ask her yourself. Fine then. Qin Yunjing, did you take the wrong medicine today? I’m Ruyan’s biological mother, how could you speak to me like that? Alright, Mother. You go ahead and tend to your matters. I’ll just say a few words to Yunjing and then I’ll go. My lord, if you truly want to marry Ruyan, then don’t act like some high-and-mighty master. Ruyan is not Shen Qingwan, you can’t just order her around. I never realized Granny Zhou had such an attitude. Mother, why is Liu Ruyan here? I asked her to come. Qingwan, don’t you want to find out whether she’s really blind or just pretending? What do you mean? Shh— The fox’s tail will always show itself eventually. Let’s just watch and see. If you have something to say, just say it. Brother Yunjing, are you mad at me? What I said before, about needing 100,000 taels of gold to marry me— I was just testing you on purpose. I’m not mad at you. Ruyan, I know you’re kind-hearted. But I need you to tell me— what exactly is your relationship with the second son of the Marquis of Jin’an? What exactly is your relationship with the second son of the Marquis of Jin’an? The second son of the Marquis of Jin’an? Who’s that? I don’t know him. Brother Yunjing, why are you asking this? It’s nothing. None of that matters. What matters is— I can finally marry you. I’m so happy. Why did you lie? Ruyan, you’re becoming more and more like a stranger to me. I’m happy too. But— before my mother returns, let me send you back first. As you wish, Brother Yunjing. Then I’ll head back to the inn and wait for the Madam to fetch me personally. Tomorrow, your dream will come true. My lord. The Madam asked you to check the outfit for tomorrow’s palace visit. You go ahead first. Brother Yunjing, I’ll have Chunxi escort me back. Alright. Chunxi. Hey. Mother? What are you doing here? Hmph. I told you, but you didn’t believe me. In a moment, you’ll see it for yourself. Stop. Isn’t this the vase from my mother’s room? How dare you touch my mother’s things? Miss Ruyan, I thought you couldn’t see? Miss Ruyan, I thought you couldn’t see? You servant, You are not in a position to question the future princess. The Madam ordered it moved. I had no idea. She must be getting senile. This vase is my mother’s favorite. How dare she touch it? Put the vase back. But this was ordered by the Madam. So what if she is the Madam? Soon, I will be the princess. And in my belly is the marquis family’s only heir. From now on, she will live at my mercy. That’s right. Qin Yunjing is infertile now. He’ll never have another son. From now on, he and his mother will have to rely on us. We mother and daughter hold the power. I’d like to see how Yunjing and I will live under your mercy. Madam. Madam. Since you’re here, perfect timing. Return my mother’s vase to her. Ridiculous. This vase was a gift from the palace to me as a Third Rank titled lady. How could it possibly belong to your nanny Zhou? Madam, stop pretending. Aren’t you going to the palace to beg for the luminous pearl for me? Why cling to this vase? How dare you. I beg for the pearl for you? What, isn’t that true? Right now, your entire marquis house depends on the little heir in my belly to carry on your family line. Liu Ruyan, Listen to what you said— do you even sound human? At this point, you can’t even be bothered to pretend anymore? That’s right. All these years I’ve lived in the marquis household, carefully and cautiously, doing everything to please you. And what did I get in return? Your so-called tests, constant humiliation. Well, I’m done pretending now. Mother, go take your vase back. It belongs to the marquis household. Let’s see who dares stop me. Madam, forgive me for speaking out of turn, but times have changed. The young master is now infertile. The only one you can count on is my daughter and the child she carries with Qin blood. Give it to me. Go on, keep acting proud. You must really want your bloodline to end. I’m so furious I could die! Qin Yunjing, look at her. This is the woman you adore, your beloved. Give it to me. Enough, Mother. Let’s go. Leaving the vase here is fine. After all, this whole household will be ours sooner or later. Ruyan’s right. Madam, my daughter is at the inn waiting for you to come beg her. Hmph. I’m so angry I could die! So angry! Keep dreaming your sweet dreams! Mother… No matter how wrong Ruyan may be, still— she’s carrying my child. You still think that child is yours? And you still think this child is yours? Mother, what do you mean? Young Master, this is a server from Wangjiang Inn. Waiter, tell the Young Master what you saw at the inn four months ago. Replying to the Young Master— that day, I was working in the shop. I saw you drunk, and Miss Liu helped you into a private room. But… But Miss Liu came out shortly after. Then Young Master Li took her into the room next door. They— They were in there for over half an hour before coming out. Miss Liu then went back into your private room. Then you brought her out of the inn. Are you lying? I wouldn’t dare lie. The manager was there too. He saw everything as well. Young Master, after Miss Liu left the manor, she didn’t go to the inn. Instead, she got into Young Master Li’s carriage. Is that true? Is that really true? I loved Ruyan so deeply, and she betrayed me? Is this what you call a loving relationship? Mother, you tell me— Chunxi, show the painting to the Young Master. Yanyan… It was you… This painting came from Mobei, sent by carrier pigeon across a thousand miles. Yunjie, look closely. The one who saved you, stayed with you, protected you, and promised you a lifetime, who was it really? And who did you end up betraying? Qingwan… It really was you. Young Master, on the second day after you left for Mobei, Liu Ruyan went straight to Yinfengju to mess around with Young Master Li. I was blind… I couldn’t see the truth. I mistook a stone for a gem. It should have been me who was blind. Qingwan… I’m sorry. It was my fault. The one I love is you. It’s you, Yanyan. I don’t love you anymore. Qingwan… I’m sorry. Let’s start over again. I will surely make it up to you. After all, you’re carrying my child. Do you know how I feel hearing these words from you? What? Nothing. No sadness, no joy. What I used to long for day and night, now feels like it’s worth nothing. Qin Yunjie, I will never want you again. I won’t want you anymore. Qingwan… You’re still mad at me, aren’t you? It’s okay, I can wait for you. You must hate Liu Ruyan. I’ll catch her and make her apologize to you. Qing… Qingwan, wait for me! Brother… You… Still have money to drink? Well, not bad… Still got a bit of charm. You… Who are you people? Brother… Let’s talk this out, okay? Young Master Li, don’t tell me you think you can just not pay your gambling debts to us? Young Master Li, you don’t actually think you can just skip out on your gambling debts, do you? N-no… I’ll pay, I swear I will! You will pay the money, but today, you’ll also leave your right hand behind. Ruyan! Stop! Stop! We have money! We do! But you’ll have to wait until tomorrow! We don’t have it today, but we will tomorrow! The Marquis Manor… Tomorrow, the old madam herself will come with 100,000 taels of gold to beg me to marry into the manor! Why should I believe you? Right! She’s my mother! She’s the head maid of the manor! She can vouch for me! Y-yes, yes, yes! Fine. Then I’ll give you one more day. If you don’t pay tomorrow… I’ll cut off all six of your hands and feet! N-no, no! No need to wait! Brother Yunjì, he is my husband. He’ll pay my debts. Liu Ruyan, why should I pay your man’s debts? Brother Yunjì, I know you’re still angry about what happened at the manor today, but have you forgotten? In my belly, there’s still our child. Liu Ruyan, the child in your womb, is it really mine, or his? Brother Yunjì, let me explain… I… in Mobei… I saved you in Mobei! Then tell me, what’s the second half of the poem? I… I was too nervous and forgot. Liu Ruyan, you truly disgust me. You two, their debts have nothing to do with my manor. Do as you wish. Young Master! Qingwan, where are you going? Good, you’re here. This is the divorce letter. From now on, we’ll go our separate ways— you your road, and I mine, each seeking our own happiness. Qingwan, I won’t allow you to leave. You know it, the one I’ve truly loved has always been you. I’ve made up my mind. No. Qingwan, you may divorce me, but you can’t leave. Mother… The one who should leave is Qin Yunjì. Qingwan, let’s just live our lives together, raise little Shìzǐ ourselves. Come. Give that to Mother. Come home with me. Mother… Qingwan… Mother… Qingwan… Mother… Qingwan… Are you two really abandoning me? Yes. We have little Shìzǐ now. It’s too late. Everything is too late now.
