Young Mistress
Where is my mom?
Inside the room
Young Mistress, you're the best
They've all gone
Only you come back
I'll go and see my mom
Mom
Mistress, Mistress
Mom
I just knew it. What happened?
We're wronged
We're wronged
How did Master die?
They say he died of a sudden illness in the jail
Master used to be very healthy
How could he fall ill all of a sudden?
Then, what about his funeral affairs?
All done
This fast?
Master Weiwu said Master died of no clear reason
We'd better make it low-key
So we finished it secretly
Young Mistress
Chunxing
Young Mistress. Thank God, you are back!
Maids and servants who have conscience
ran away secretly
Those with no conscience
took as much as they could from the house and ran away
Only servants in Wu Pin's room didn't leave
Young Mistress, we've been waiting for you
Young Mistress, you're not going to leave, are you?
I
Master was just angry at that time
Please don't leave
But I
Look what a mess it is
Mistress is ill
We need a leader
Mistress, Yang Zhihuan comes to say goodbye
These people have no conscience
They earned a lot of money when Master was alive
When Master passed away
They all come to resign
Let me scold him
Lian'er, never mind
His life will be hard, too
Let me talk to him
Steward Yang
Young Mistress
You want to leave?
To be frank
as Master is not with us any more
I should stay here and support
But I'm 50 years old
After such a crisis
I'm really downhearted
so I only want to go home and live a simple and quiet life
I hope that Young Mistress can understand me
Steward Young
Everything was fine when I left
How did it turn out like this?
What exactly happened?
Young Mistress, do you remember Shen Yuesheng?
Is he
the Elder Young Master of Shen Family who died in the warehouse of the Eastern Courtyard?
After Shen Yuesheng's death
Master and I
found a bag of dragon's blood in the warehouse
but it turned out to be a bag of dyed rosin
At that time, the Imperial Envoy was about to arrive
Master ordered me
to hide the fake dragon's blood at once
Who will know that
this bag of fake dragon's blood
would become the evidence of Master's cheating?
Where did the fake dragon's blood come from?
I don't know
Master and I thought
maybe Shen Yuesheng wanted to frame the Eastern Courtyard
But Shen Yuesheng's death was curious
So we didn't figure it out
With only one bag of fake dragon's blood, Master was convicted?
And with Hu Zhicun's testimony
Why was it related to Hu Family?
In order to make plasters at that time
Master particularly bought a batch of dragon's blood
from Gu Yue Crude Medicine Shop
And the fake dragon's blood
was in a bag of Gu Yue Crude Medicine Shop
Then that's Hu Family cheating
But Hu Zhicun framed Master
He said that Master asked him
to replace the dragon's blood with rosin
Master asked him?
It's impossible!
That's right
I've been in the Eastern Courtyard since I was 16 years old
I started from being an apprentice
I can guarantee with my life
Master never cheated or conducted illegal transactions
Not even once
Steward Yang
you should testify for Master
Young Mistress
even I was hurt like this
I didn't speak one ill word of Master
But Manager Tong
Master had treated him so well
But he testified for Hu Zhicun
Young Mistress, Young Mistress
Where are you going?
The court trial begins!
The court trial begins!
Who beat the drum?
It's you
I'm Zhou Ying. My family is unjustly wronged
Please help me
Do you know that
after beating the drum
you have to be hit by a plank for 20 times before the case is accepted?
I do
Then how dare you to beat the drum?
I want to sue
even if I'll be hit by the plank
Think twice
It's even hard for a man
to bear the 20 times of plank-hitting
If I can't wipe out the injustice for the Eastern Courtyard
it will hurt me much more than that
Are you referring to the military supply case?
Yes
Wu Weiwen cheated to profiteer
The evidence is irrefutable
When Wu Weiwen was alive
he treated honesty as the most important thing
At first when we discussed about the order
I suggested
replacing dragon's blood
with azalea leaves that were weaker in effect
I was scolded by him
How would he use
useless rosin to replace dragon's blood?
But Wu Weiwen admitted it by signing his name
He must be forced
How do you explain that
Wu Weiwen instigated Yang Zhihuan to hide the proof?
It was the only choice he had at that time
Hu Zhicun admitted that
Wu Weiwen instigated him
to replace dragon's blood with rosin. How do you explain it?
Hu Zhicun was trying to frame him
Manager Tong of Longevity Hall also admitted that
Wu Weiwen instigated Hu Zhicun to cheat
It's under the duress
How dare you!
Magistrate
please check Steward Yang's hands and you will know
Zhou Ying
I tell you
Even if Wu Weiwen hadn't died
the death penalty would have been awaiting
Now only a part of the property is confiscated
all people of the Eastern Courtyard are released
It's already the lightest punishment
What else do you want?
Do you want Lady Zheng to be exiled
other family members to be involved
and the Wu Family to lose the houses?
Zhou Ying
considering your efforts in delivering porridge
I won't punish you for beating the drum
But the military supply order is over
If you do anything hastily again
I won't let you get away with it next time
The court is adjourned!
Magistrate
I haven't finished
Let go of me
Magistrate, Magistrate
Let go of me
Let go of me
Wang Shijun?
Follow me
Where are we going?
Wang Shijun
What are you doing?
Are you OK?
I'm OK
Don't be so hasty in the future
Why do you bring me here?
Someone asked me to give it to you
What is it?
The seal of Shiyi Hall?
Master let me give it to you
Master?
Isn't Master dead?
After driving you away
Master found me
He gave it to me and told me
when the military supply case was completely over
if he was still alive
then I gave the seal back to him
If he was not
then I should give it to you
Master also let me wait for you
at Young Master's tomb
He said you would be there
The house in Gaoling was also arranged by Master
During the past one month
all the cost for you and Uncle Si
was arranged by Master
Get out now!
Get out!
At once!
Get out!
So driving me away
was actually a performance for the outsiders
I think so
He foresaw that
this case might be extremely dangerous
so he drove me out of the Eastern Courtyard
If the whole family was implicated
at least I could be excluded
His being mean to be
was actually protecting me
He not only wanted to protect you
Whom else?
And your baby
What?
I am pregnant?
Wu Pin, we have a baby
Wu Pin, we have a baby
Mom, I'm back
Xing, have you had your dinner?
I haven't had my lunch yet
Hurry! Go and heat some dishes
How tired you are!
Those managers really treat you as a salesman
Don't worry
I'll send them a message tomorrow
Mom, please don't
I let them do that
But you're a Young Master of the Shen Family
Being a Young Master of Shen Family is not interesting
Then what is interesting?
King of Salesmen in Jingyang
Mom, is there any hot tea? I want to drink some hot tea
OK, OK, OK. Wait!
I'll let someone get some for you
In a minute
Master, why are you back?
Didn't you say you were not coming back?
Have you had your dinner?
Yes
Xing's inside
Don't scold him
What is he doing here?
I'm his mother. He came here to see me
Look at him
You're the one to blame
Why is that?
Ever since you scolded him last time
he has been working really hard
He runs errands
and go back home being exhausted every day
He even fell asleep when he was eating sometimes
He runs errands?
Yes
The managers of the tea shop, crude medicine shop, native cloth shop
fur shop and rice shop
made him bustle around
There used to be five salesmen
but there are only three now
They said Xing could do two persons' work
Why didn't I know?
Xing told them not to tell you
Did you find that
during the past one month
he has become thinner?
He has got tanned
and wounds all over his body
Master
Master, Mistress
Boss Du from Long Sheng He is here
Let's go
He may catch a cold sleeping in this way
Find him a quilt
Are you saying you want to go to Beijing
and give Young Prince a kowtow in person?
Yes
If it weren't for the help of Young Prince
to redress the injustice for my family
the wrong wouldn't have been righted
This great kindness
I must give a kowtow in person
Giving a kowtow is not necessary
As long as you're grateful
there will be a lot of chances
Young Prince is from the imperial family
I'm only an ordinary man
I don't dare to disturb Young Prince in the future
Do you mean
you want to break up with Young Prince?
Boss Du, I definitely don't mean that
That's good
Since I can't present myself before Young Prince
then
here is this token of my regard
Please help me give it to Young Prince
A person like Young Prince
will care about such little amount of money?
Well
could you please tell me what I should do?
Shen Sihai
you're so lucky
Young Prince doesn't need your gratitude
and he has a reward for you
Military supply order?
That's right
Military supply orders used to be monopolized by the Eastern Courtyard of the Wu Family
Now the Eastern Courtyard doesn't exist any more
but it has to be finished by someone
Boss Shen, are you interested?
Young Prince has helped me complete the revenge
I'm so grateful
Now I'm granted with this reward
I'm afraid I can't repay his kindness
Boss Shen
if you really want to repay the kindness of Young Prince
that's very simple
You complete the military supply order
70% of the profits shall go to the Shen Family
and the rest 30% to Long Sheng He
Boss Shen
this order will come every year
At present, it only includes crude medicine
but in the future there will be horses, cloth
even army provisions
Think about it
Why could Wu Weiwen be the richest person in Jingyang?
Wasn't it because of the military supply orders?
Now the same opportunity appears in front of you
Boss Shen, it's up to you
Shen Sihai
is so grateful to Young Prince
Baishi
for being promoted to the Magistrate of Xi'an this time
you should thank Minister Li
Your recommendation must have also helped a lot
No need to thank me
If it weren't for Zuo's people
with your contribution to relieving the people in disaster-stricken areas
you should be promoted to Magistrate of Xi'an last time
Tea, please
After Zuo's death
they won't stir up troubles any more
I hope the political situation of Shaanxi
can be refreshed from now on
Baishi
You're still so naive
Think carefully
In Shaanxi, who came to take positions
below the Provincial Governor?
All Young Prince's people
In Shaanxi
I'm afraid that you're still fighting alone
No matter how complicated the situation is
Baishi will always be brave and will never shrink back
There is one person that you need to pay attention to
Boss Du from Long Sheng He
Du Mingli
He is of an impressive background
very impressive
Stop
Stop
Miss, it's done
Lower the sedan
Gu Yue Crude Medicine Shop is unlocked
Yes
What about Hu Zhicun, back at home?
Ever since Hu Zhicun knew that
Wu Weiwen didn't frame him
he had been protesting for Wu Weiwen
and had asked for changing his confession
If it weren't for me
Young Prince would have killed him long before
Then keep him in prison
That's what Young Prince meant
Let's go
Go
Master, you were treated so unjustly!
Really unjustly!
Master
you were treated so unjustly!
So unjustly!
According to the rules established by the forefathers of the Wu Family
the one who has the seal of Shiyi Hall
is the Patriarch of the Wu Family
in charge of the Eastern, Western, Southern and Central Courtyards
Patriarch
No, it's not right
That's what Master meant
No, no, no
I don't have the ability
And
the three uncles
won't obey my orders
Master must have given the seal to you
for a reason
As for the three uncles
with the seal of Shiyi Hall
you don't need to worry that they won't obey you
You were treated so unjustly!
Why did this happen?
Why?
Master
Dad, I'm back
Now that you gave the seal to me
I'll take it
I don't know whether I can make it or not
But whether I can or can't
I'll do it
for your trust
and for my baby
What did you say?
Mom, the Eastern Courtyard has an heir
Really?
Master, did you hear that? Master
Master, did you hear that?
The Eastern Courtyard of the Wu Family has an heir!
What a blessing!
How do you feel?
Much better
Great
Dad
I'm not a scourge
I know
I've experienced a lot
I know
Dad
Auntie Zhang
Dad
I'm going back to the Eastern Courtyard
The Eastern Courtyard has nothing now
I'm the only one who can support it
If I leave
the Eastern Courtyard will really decline
Wu Pin will never be in peace for it
Before Wu Weiwen died
he gave this to me
He asked me to be the Patriarch of the Wu Family
You?
the Patriarch of the Wu Family?
How could it be possible?
For his trust
I can't leave
Are you insane?
If you really become the Patriarch of the Wu Family
you'd be trapped in here
and can never leave
Dad, I've already been unable to leave now
Why?
I'm pregnant
I want to give birth to him
raise him
and let him take over the Eastern Courtyard
to revitalize it
In the future
I will pass the seal to him
Dad
please stay. Don't leave
I stay here?
To be a widow with you?
No way
If I stay
I'm doing it for my grandson
Dad, you will be a great grandfather
Is this real?
I can't tell
It's real
Why is it in your hands?
Master passed it to me
Hasn't my brother driven you away?
Why would he give the seal to you?
Driving me away
was actually protecting me
and my baby
Baby?
Is it Wu Pin's?
Weishuang
This is huge. I need to make it clear
Did my eldest brother give it to you in person?
Master gave it to me
He asked me to give the seal to Young Mistress
when everything was over
There are so many people in the Eastern Courtyard
Why did he give it to you?
Dad didn't know how the military supply order would end
He was afraid that the person he entrusted with the seal might also be implicated
Wang Shijun was an apprentice
He doesn't belong to the Eastern Courtyard
Considering that he was an old friend of mine and had a mature mind
so he chose him
That's what eldest brother would do
You won't doubt it any more, do you?
What are you going to do?
According to the rules of the Wu Family
the person who has the seal
is the Patriarch of the Wu Family
So I think
Don't even think about it
Even if all members of the Wu Family die
a woman
can't be the Patriarch
Uncle Weiquan
don't you recognize the seal?
I recognize it
but I don't recognize you
Me?
What's wrong with me?
Aren't I a daughter-in-law of the Eastern Courtyard?
The way you entered the Eastern Courtyard
is known to us all
You destroyed the Eastern Courtyard
but you're not allowed to destroy the Middle Courtyard
Brothers
I don't care what you think of it
But if this woman becomes the Patriarch
we Middle Courtyard will be the first one to oppose it
See you
Uncle Weiwu
Uncle Weishuang
please say something
During the past decades
the Patriarchs of the Wu Family have always been
talented people with high credit
Zhou Ying
with your current qualification and ability
even if you have the seal of Shiyi Hall
I'm afraid it's hard to convince the crowd
So you mean?
I mean
we can discuss it later
Zhou Ying
the Western Courtyard is very busy with the business
I've got to go
In the future, if nothing important happens
I won't come to Liuchuan Hall any more
Niece
Don't be sad
Even if Uncle Weiwu and me are willing to recognize you
it's still useless
Why?
When our eldest brother was alive
the four courtyards of the Wu Family can be held together
Now our eldest brother is dead
The four courtyards of the Wu Family have split up
The seal of Shiyi Hall
is only a useless stone now
How come?
Take care of yourselves
According to the rules of the forefathers
no contract can take effect
without being stamped by the Shiyi Hall seal
even if both parties
have affixed their names and fingerprints
Do you remember?
Before Master drove you away
he broke off with the three masters
in the same way
Master was using the same way
to protect his three brothers
He announced at the same time
all the native cloth traders would belong to Master Weiwu
70% shares of Sanyuan Pawn Shop
was transferred to Master Weishuang
and that all the money owed by Master Weiquan
were written off
He wrote the contract
but he didn't get them sealed
That means
all the traders, shares and money
still belong to the Eastern Courtyard
Yes
If we have these three things
we don't need to worry about the livelihood in the future
When Master was alive
these three people
visited the Eastern Courtyard very often
Now Master just passed away
They turned against us
What kind of brothers are they?
They have their own concerns
First, they are afraid that they will get implicated by the case
Second, they are afraid that we'll be a burden to them
So they stay away from us as far as they could
Besides being ungrateful
they even ignore the rules of the forefathers
Mom, this is the fickleness of the world
I've seen much of it
Master
it's useless
to give us the seal
Who said it's useless?
I think
it can be used as paperweight
If a thief comes in
I can use it as a brick
We can also put it under the table to make it level
It can also be used to collect debts
I can give up being the Patriarch of the Wu Family
but the money of the Eastern Courtyard
I must get it back
