[English subtitles are available] [Follow Your Heart] [Episode 18] Boss. Boss! Boss. Why’s the princess here? Well… Since you’d decided against the marriage, why did you mock her? I didn’t. Sai’er. With Ruoqian, kindly ask the customers to leave. Tell them we’re closing early as I’m sick. Okay. I’ll go now. Go. So you purposely bullied her? Pei Yaoyao… I’m sorry. We’re closing early today. Come again next time. How dare you call her ugly? You… Look at you now. Are you fit to be one of the Jiangs? This is not an ordinary blind date. It concerns your prospects and future. Don’t you know your situation’s precarious? Without Grand Councilor Pei’s protection, how can you stay safe? Mr. Pei might not dare help me too. What’s more, he has to give up his precious daughter. You’re too willful. You’ve been stubborn in Heman once. Your first marriage was reckless. I didn’t pursue it. No matter what, I must make sure your second marriage doesn’t go wrong. You offended all the officials with your Zornia investigation. I tried to persuade you, but you didn’t listen. I know that with my power, I can’t protect you. You can only let Mr. Pei protect you through marriage. I don’t want my marriage to be tied down by interests. Such a burdensome marriage can’t protect me at all. How? My father was exiled and killed. His marriage failed to protect him. I was careless with my words. When will you become sensible? You… [Fanhou Street] Mr. Li. Our shop’s about to be ruined by the constables. Your father’s nonchalant about it. What… What should we do? I’m not his real son. Though my mom had me in an affair, my grandfather’s a high-ranking official. What can Li Jun do? He has to accept being a cuckold. I have to tell Lord Lu about this, so he can support you. Support? I’m a maternal grandson. All these years, my grandfather left the dirty work to me, while his dear grandson Lu Bo’an is studying in Imperial Academy to become a pillar of the country. In times of peace, all is just and fair. When the Lu family’s endangered, I’ll be the one abandoned. Who is sneaking around? What’s going on? Boss. Someone was eavesdropping. Get them. Yes. [Closed] Why did you ask Sai’er to call me over at this late hour? There’s someone to meet. Mr. Jiang. How have you been? General Nan. You sure are something. I searched everywhere, only for you to be hiding under my nose. He’s a general after all. Is this how you treat guests from afar? He’s a fugitive. I’m willing to take him in and hide him. What’s wrong with doing some work in return? If you’re concerned, you can do it for him. Wipe them clean. -An imperial criminal?
-An imperial criminal? Lower your voice. Don’t get implicated. If you took him in, he mustn’t be rotten. Even if he is an imperial criminal, he must be wronged. We trust you, Boss. You really trust me so much? Of course. I’ll always trust you. In that case, Keep it a secret, okay? Rumor has it that you went to the South. I was still guessing which of the six Southern countries you could be in. I started the rumor… to be inconspicuous and sneak back to the capital. Why didn’t you come look for me? Why should I trust a man who can’t keep his word? What do you mean? What do you think? Explain my crime first before convicting me. You said you’d keep investigating in the capital. But not long after you left, Heman’s magistrate and lieutenant were replaced. They soon became allies with Gongye and Tumen, gaining greater momentum. They even framed me for embezzlement, forcing me to run away. You should know they were sent by the Ministry of Personnel. The Ministry of Personnel assigns officials to their posts. What? Are you suspecting me? At first, I did. Then why are you looking for me now? I know you solved the Ghost Market’s Zornia case, eliminating a Zornia cartel in the capital. Just because the magistrate and lieutenant were recommended by Li Jun, you suspect he and even the entire Ministry of Personnel are overseeing the Zornia business? As those two started framing me, Li Jun went to His Majesty to complain about me. Is that just a coincidence? Over the years, all officials were sent to Heman through the Ministry of Personnel. They’re sealing off a path. I want to meet His Majesty, but I haven’t found a chance. You’re now a guilty official who’s running away. Without evidence, it’s just nonsense. His Majesty will only punish you. It’s not the right time to meet him. I know you’re also watching the Li family. How did you know? We met when I was undercover in the Lis’ casino to get evidence. You didn’t expose me then. I guess you hoped I’d find something. Somewhat. Come on, I bet you just didn’t recognize him. So… what’ve you found out? I’m only cleared of half of my suspicions of you. I’ll tell you when they are all cleared. Fine. I want to go see Bieli first. I know you two had a misunderstanding, so I didn’t go to him, in case I’d add fuel to the fire. You can’t see him now. Why? He might be related to the Zornia case. Some Jinwu Guards are dealing with Zornia. Impossible! She saw it too. He’s too close to the Li family. I’ve to be wary of him. Evidence aside, what you saw might not be true either. Even if you put the evidence in front of me, I’d still believe him. Why do you trust him so much? We have a deep brotherly bond. We’ve experienced near-death situations together. But people change. Sometimes, trust can’t be explained. But I only believe in evidence. General Nan. You’re guilty now. If Commander Shang knows what happened to you and wants to avenge you, we can’t stop him. Right now, you should hide for a while before we make plans. Then I’ll have to disturb you for a while, Dr. Yan. Y-You want to stay here? My… My place is very shabby. I don’t mind. I do. Her home’s too far away. It inconveniences your investigation in the capital. Then I’ll stay at your place. No way. I’m not used to living with others. Where should I live then? How about… he stays in Yuejiang’s Residence? Your mother won’t betray you. Besides, no one would dare search Yuejiang’s Residence. Right? But my mother and I just had a fight. There’s no grudge between mother and son. Look. It’s a good chance to make up with her. That’s a good idea. You sure accept help readily. It’s settled then. [Yuejiang’s Residence] General Nan, don’t worry. I will protect you. Thank you, Your Highness. Thank you, Mother. Don’t thank me. It’s not for your sake. But we’re hiding an imperial criminal. General Nan. I hope you won’t go out and don’t wander around inside. Don’t move unless necessary. Yes. Mother. Try to keep this from Grandpa and Suoluo. Especially Suoluo. She’s friends with Shang Bieli. If he knows about this, with how impulsive he is, he might cause trouble. Yes, Your Highness. The less trouble, the better. It saves us trouble. Okay, I’ll listen to you. I won’t tell her. How can family members… keep secrets from each other? Greetings, Mother. Mother. Even Dr. Yan, an outsider, knows about it, but you can’t tell me, your daughter? Suoluo. Be discerning about what you say. General Nan is Mr. Shang’s brother, so he’s my friend. I won’t betray him. Also, when it comes to my family’s safety and interests, I’ve always been discerning. Don’t worry. Your sister knows what to do. It’s all your fault. If you didn’t mess up the blind date, Mr. Pei could’ve helped us think of a way to hide him. Mother. I know you worked hard to arrange it for me. But because I’m in danger, I’d rather risk my life than get others involved. Are you confused? What do you mean? I’m setting up a shield for you. Mother. You are my shield. For my mother, I’ll also protect myself. In my heart, you’re always my shield and my weakness. Forget it. Let’s not mention that now. Just for now. Don’t think I’m annoying. In this world, only I’d worry about your marriage. And Nanxing. She’s been worried sick for you. Thank her now. I… I will repay her. Sure. All right. Go back now. We’ll leave now. Leave it to me. Go. Let’s go. How do you want to repay me? How do you want me to repay you? I’ll think about it. Gaya. Today is your birthday. I’m here to talk to you. I miss you so much. What’s General Nan doing? Your Grace. Today is Lady Gaya’s birthday. He asked us to set up an altar. I’m on my way to report it to Princess. Okay. Gaya. Why didn’t you wait for me? How are you doing over there? -Wait for me…
-General Nan. My condolences, General. Actually, I’d often heard about you from Shang. I’ve admired you for a long time. By the way, I should thank you. Thank me? For what? You and your wife officiated my brother’s wedding in Heman. They received you and your wife’s kindness. Of course I should thank you. You… know about it? Of course. He’s my brother. How could I not know? What’s wrong with you? You know he’s a fugitive. Why didn’t you stop him? How dare he set up an altar in my residence? Summoning ghosts and gods? If someone’s summoned here, who’d pay for it? But I feel sorry for Nanxing for having to keep it a secret. In the future, our family must make it up to her. Gaya once said Yan Nanxing and Jiang Xinbai will have three marriages. We’ve held the first one for them. The second and third ones depend on their fates. What did you say? Get up! What did you say? Who has three marriages with whom? Xinbai’s bride in Heman is Yan Nanxing? Is it Blossom Beauty’s Yan Nanxing? Say something! You dare to get married but not admit it? No wonder… You’re always so indifferent, but you treat her so well. And you! You’re always so fussy, but you can do anything for him. You newlyweds sure share a strong bond! That’s not it! Back then, we got married to solve the case. We just held a ceremony. Nothing else! W-W-What she s-said is quite true. Shut up! Mother. You shut up too! Don’t interfere when I’m talking! Get out! All of you, get out! Yan Nanxing. Stay here. I’ll be outside. If anything happens, just call me at the door. You went to great lengths to put on this show. Are you satisfied? You three are already in costume. Do you blame me for asking for a show? Suoluo. You two, stop arguing. It’s all my fault. -Shut up!
-Shut up! Yan Nanxing. I order you to close down Blossom Beauty and get out of the capital! Why? I didn’t come here for Jiang Xinbai but for my own affairs. I don’t care. I’m the Princess of Yuejiang. Even if I abuse my power to punish you, what can you do? This is unfair. Marriage is between two people. You’ve let your dear son off, but you’re finding fault with me. How dare you talk back? Guards! Kick her out! Mother! Be it the Heman wedding or keeping it from you, I did it all on my own. It’s unrelated to Yan Nanxing. Jiang Xinbai. Listen carefully. Your marriage concerns the whole family. You can’t be willful. Tie her up! Yes. Don’t you dare! A country has its laws. A family has its rules. She didn’t break the law. She also divorced me long ago, so she need not abide by our family’s rules. Fine. I’ll show you a 100 ways to make her close down her shop and get out of the capital! What’s wrong? Do you not receive male customers? Who said that? Today, we’ll only receive male customers. Sai’er, Ruoqian, let’s show these customers our hospitality. -Okay!
-Okay! I’m really sorry, everyone. Here. This is a small token of appreciation. Take it back to use it. Thank you. Sorry for the trouble. Next time, we’ll serve you well. Okay, thank you. This is for you. I’m really sorry. Next time… What’s wrong? Nothing. See you next time. I’ll give you a 50% discount. Be gentle! Ouch! Be gentle! Is this how you serve customers? I’ll report you! If you aren’t satisfied with our service, you don’t have to pay. If you’re here to make a scene, I’ll have to report you to the Inspection Office. I remember. You smashed so many things in my shop just now. Ruoqian. You’re familiar with our dynasty’s law. Tell us. How long will they be detained for smashing things? 70 days. 70? Still wanna make a scene? Move! Move aside! What are you looking at? Stop looking. Remember to return our basket! I’m so mad! My head’s about to explode! You know what? She bullied my men! Suoluo. Listen. Use whatever method you can so Yan Nanxing can’t gain a foothold in the capital and gets out of here. The sooner, the better. I know you’re resourceful. Don’t tell me you can’t. You can, right? Don’t worry, Mother. You must get it done. Leave it to me. Okay. You’ll be satisfied. This fan’s useless. I’m so hot. I’m so angry! I’ve bought this house. Please move out in a day. Here’s the compensation fee. Fine. I still have Blossom Beauty. I’ve also bought Blossom Beauty. Please move out of it in a day too. You’re Imperial Academy’s chancellor, yet you resort to such dirty tricks. Ms. Yan. I’ve already told you that since you’re my brother’s friend, you aren’t my friend. If you aren’t my friend, you’re my enemy. You chose it yourself. Luckily, I chose to be friends with your brother. He’s stubborn, but he isn’t indiscriminate and spiteful like you. As an outsider, you have no right to compare us. If I can’t stay here, I’ll find someplace else. With money, I won’t have trouble finding a place. I’m afraid no one here would dare be your landlord. Ms. Yan. The world is vast. Why don’t you go somewhere else? Don’t you worry about me. This is still my home today. Your Grace, I won’t send you off. Take your time to pack up. I forgot. There are many people in the capital lately. The inns are all full. It won’t be easy to find a place. Bullying with your power! One bad apple spoils the bunch! That’s the situation. We’ll be closed for the time being. Not necessarily, Boss. I’ve written three petitions. Report this to the Ministry of Revenue. [To: Ministry of Revenue
From: Liu Ruoqian] Report this to the Ministry of Personnel. [To: Ministry of Personnel
From: Liu Ruoqian] And this one [To: His Majesty
From: Liu Ruoqian] can be presented to His Majesty. Although I haven’t figured out how I’d get it to His Majesty, we can’t sit back and do nothing and let these nobles bully us. Ruoqian. This is too troublesome. Boss. Let’s take the efficient route. Tonight, I’ll sneak into Duke’s residence. With this blade on the Princess’ neck, she’ll stop messing with us. Boss. Sai’er, Ruoqian. These are your salaries for this and next month. Keep it well. It’s enough for a while. Wait, Boss. We haven’t worked for it yet. How can we accept it? Take it back. Yes. We can’t accept this money. Take it. Just take it. Don’t look down on me. Do I give in that easily? Spend this money slowly. In a few days, you’d have to return to work. I’ll reopen Blossom Beauty. Then where’d you be at these days? Where are you going? Me? I have money. I won’t have trouble finding a place. [Closed] I know everything. Did you find a place to go? If you won’t answer, it means no. Come home with me. Why? Yan Nanxing. For my mother and sister’s bullying, I’ll make it up to you. Hide in my residence first so my mother won’t come to you again. Leave the rest to me. Why should you make it up to me? You did nothing wrong. Besides, we’re not related. If someone sees me in your home, it’ll complicate things. Yan Nanxing. I’ve been busy with the Zornia case. I didn’t take care of your conflict with my mother. I’m sorry. Just lie low at my place for a while. After this period, I’ll give you an explanation. Well… if I’m living there for free, am I under your care? Yes. [Blossom Beauty] We haven’t heard from Yan Nanxing these days. She must’ve left the capital. Has she really left? Isn’t this what you want? Yes. My heart’s at ease now. Mother. I helped you chase away Yan Nanxing. So, you must promise me one thing. What is it? Nan Jifeng. N-No. Suoluo. Why did you ask me here today? To see someone. Brother? Brother! Bieli? I won’t disturb your reunion. Brother. Does Mr. Jiang know about your visit? He doesn’t need to. Brother, I’ll take you away. But now, I’m… Brother, he killed… Why do you still trust him? Gaya did die by Jiang Xinbai’s weapon. But he didn’t kill her. Gaya only committed suicide to escape conviction to protect me. So that was what happened? Bieli. I heard from Mr. Jiang that you’re close to Li Jun’s family and that there are Jinwu Guards dealing with Zornia. Be honest. Is that true? It’s just slander. I saw with my own eyes that he had a meal with Lu Dingzhao and Li Jun. What was that about? Brother. Do you trust me? Of course I do. Then come with me. As for Jinwu Guards dealing with Zornia, I’ll conduct an investigation. Let’s consider other matters in the long run. Suoluo. I’ll take him away. If Jiang Xinbai gives you a hard time, ask him to come to me. I can handle something so trivial. However, you must hide General Nan well. Don’t let anyone know his whereabouts, including me. You two must decide carefully when’s the best time to let His Majesty know that General Nan’s in the capital. Got it. Thank you. Delicious. Not bad, right? I said I’ll take care of you. Why are you still working outside? I had to deliver goods to some regular customers. Blossom Beauty’s closed, but I’ve to maintain my customer base. Didn’t I tell you not to go out for a while? What if Mother finds out you’re still in the capital? Those regulars won’t betray me. Don’t worry. I won’t cause us any trouble. Have some bamboo shoots. Eat more. Here. My lord. S-Should I hide? It’s Yao. He knows you’re here. What’s wrong? The guards of Yuejiang’s Residence reported that Shang Bieli took Nan Jifeng away. Where to? Our men lost them. Did Suoluo bring Shang Bieli home? Keep eating. Don’t go out. [Imperial Academy] Xinbai, it’s late. What brings you here? Where’s Nan Jifeng? I don’t know. Jiang Suoluo. Why are you doing this? To you, the Zornia case comes first. I understand that. But is Yan Nanxing more important than our family now? I had no choice. What does Nan Jifeng leaving have to do with Yan Nanxing? Of course it’s related. She and Mother are in a fight. What if she spouts nonsense outside about us hiding an imperial criminal? You keep everything from me. Even Yan Nanxing knows more than me. Yan Nanxing will never hurt anyone for her own selfish reasons. Why are you so sure she won’t betray us? Just because she was once your woman? Yes. Because she’s my woman. I trust her. I’m afraid you’re blinded by love. Things only turned out like this as you offended Mother for her. So you couldn’t tell right from wrong and drove her away? That was Mother’s order. As a child, it’s natural to share their parents’ burdens. It’s filial piety. But if our parents are in the wrong, we should point out the mistakes instead of letting them be a laughingstock by defending their so-called dignity. This is the real filial piety. You have your reasons and I have my reasons. Your reasons? Let’s put aside Yan Nanxing. You asked Shang Bieli to take away Nan Jifeng. Ruling out your suspicion of Yan Nanxing, what logic warrants that? I told you. This is the best-case scenario for General Nan and our family. I have a clear conscience. A clear conscience? Suoluo. You always say I’m the one endangering our family. But have you ever thought about how your actions are really trapping our family in injustice? Benevolence, justice, loyalty, bravery. This is our ancestral motto. The Jiangs have earned great military merits for generations. It’s not for honor but for the country and the people. As a Jiang descendant, if you only care about our family’s safety and interests, you’ll truly be letting our ancestors down. Be it investigating Zornia or saving Nan Jifeng, I’ve lived up to our ancestral motto. But what about you? What have you done? To think you’re Imperial Academy’s chancellor. Suoluo. You’ve really let me down. His Majesty conferred the title on me. It’s not up to you whether I deserve it or not. I have work to do. Goodbye.
