Joy of Life (庆余年)

Then let's shut down the place for now.

You will pacify them.

When I return to the capital officially, I'll release them.

All right.

Oh, and there's a girl surnamed Jin in the establishment.

Take special care of her and return her indenture to her.

How are you going to answer to my sister-in-law?

You're shutting down

such a lucrative business just like this?

I dare not continue. - There are actually things you dare not do?

Some lines I dare not cross.

Fine, then.

If so, I won't make you stay.

You should return to the convoy as soon as possible.

Don't delay their return to the capital.

I'll head back right now.

Your Highness, as for Mrs. Teng and her son,

please send your men to look after them for now.

You don't need to worry about that.

What about Cheng Ze?

Do you intend to... - I'll get to the bottom of it.

I'm glad to hear that.

We'll receive news from Shijia Town soon.

Let's cut our chatter.

Let's do something huge

once you return to the capital officially.

Your Highness, take care.

Xian,

I have to tell you this.

The crown prince and Prince Cheng Ze can compete all they like.

We shouldn't interfere.

It can cause us to be executed.

Even so, you won't be the one getting executed.

It's not okay no matter who is getting executed.

When news of your death got to the capital,

the entire capital went bonkers.

Do you know how many people sent gifts to our family?

You should stop causing trouble for us.

Return all those gifts to them once I'm officially revived.

They don't want that.

Why not?

My Lord, think about it.

If you're not dead,

who dares to take their gifts back?

If you're alive,

the sensible ones will send you another batch of gifts.

You're not cut out to be an official.

This is stupid.

I beg to differ.

This is the officialdom in the capital.

Relationships and wisdom are vital.

Enough. Seal off the building.

I've told you what I need to tell you. Let's go.

Xian, wait!

You're not done yet!

There's this guy over here. What should we do with him?

You can act accordingly. - Me?

You were the one who gave him a karate chop.

Isn't it obvious?

Do you want him to witness the ugly quarrel between his brothers?

You do act like an elder brother now.

You're my elder brother. You need to side with me.

What should I do?

Stay at home after this.

Do not leave the house before my return.

All right. - Don't tell anyone about this incident.

Understood.

Don't worry. Everything'll be fine.

Wait for my return. - I'll wait for your return.

Take care, Young Master.

It's tough to make money nowadays.

Wasn't I supposed to be lying there?

Si Zhe?

Si Zhe?

Why were you asleep?

My body might be still growing. That's why I was sleepy.

That's not right.

Why do I remember that someone

struck my neck from somewhere?

After that, I was lying here.

That's impossible!

Did you say someone gave you a karate chop over there

and you fell unconscious?

I think so.

That's impossible.

Listen. I don't know what's wrong with you today.

When you first came, you went to the bed.

You said you were exhausted and that you wanted to take a nap.

I think you had a dream just now.

I had a dream, huh?

Si Zhe, what happened to your eye?

A donkey kicked me.

Donkey? You actually have a donkey?

No. I dreamt about it.

I dreamt that a donkey kicked me in the eye.

Your dream is pretty lively, huh?

Yeah. There were even two dogs fighting in my dream.

Okay, then. Let's continue.

Let's enjoy some songs.

Cousin, listen to me.

Let's stop for today.

You should head back and rest. - But why?

Our mental state has been quite poor lately, right?

We had many dreams.

I dreamt that a donkey kicked me in the eye.

You dreamt that Fan Xian knocked you out, right?

Fan Xian?

A crook. You dreamt that a crook knocked you out, right?

I think we should rest for today.

My Lord.

I can't find them.

But...

Where exactly did they go?

Say, where could they go

if Prince Cheng Ze didn't capture them?

How are your relationships in the capital?

Although I've been away for six months,

at most, I might've gotten some debts.

My family members should've been fine.

My Lord, you should return to the convoy first.

I'm sorry that I can't join you.

I have to find them. - I'll join you.

My Lord, you should leave. If not, you won't make it in time.

It's fine. Your family members are more important.

Dear?

You were inside the house?

Where's Ba Ba?

Why are you avoiding me?

I'm trying to wipe your sweat away.

Look at how anxious you are.

We were inside the house.

I was coaxing her to sleep.

If so, how come I didn't see you two?

How did you two vanish out of the blue?

We were taken somewhere.

What does that mean?

For our safety. - Safety?

Who did it? - Who else?

Is it Chen Ping Ping?

That's right.

President Chen told me to relay a message to you.

Teng Zi Jing's wife and son have been released.

President Chen will help them to settle down in Danzhou.

He asked you

if you wanted to see them before their departure.

No need for that.

The further I stay away from them, the safer they are.

He suggested you return to the convoy as soon as possible.

What exactly is he up to?

President Chen said

that you might be wary of him

after your trip to Northern Qi.

He said he didn't need to explain himself.

Sometimes, words are pointless.

You can only tell

how he treated you by his actions

instead of his words.

Can you figure him out, then?

No one in the world can figure President Chen out.

Dear, please take care of Ba Ba.

Lord Fan and I have to return to the convoy.

Lord Fan, where are you right now?

We've almost arrived at the capital.

I won't be able to keep the secret if you don't come back soon.

Did you see that?

That person speaks to Fan Xian's ashes every day.

Although I can't hear him,

his loyalty

is truly impressive.

Where exactly are you?

You're making me anxious here.

All right.

They'll arrive at the capital soon.

Seems like Fan Xian's death is confirmed.

Let's go. Let's report this to His Highness.

He didn't leave his room for several days?

Yes. I had to deliver his meals to him.

Is he sick?

He still has a huge appetite.

We even prepared some delicious yogurt with fruits for him.

It didn't seem like he was sick.

Is there anyone else in his room?

No.

That's hard to say.

At his age,

he's capable of anything.

Give it to me. You may leave.

Yes, Madam.

Mother, why don't you come inside?

I'm here to deliver yogurt to you.

You can check under the bed as well.

There's a cabinet over there.

There's no one here, right? - If so, why didn't you leave your room?

You don't do this usually.

He didn't allow me to go out.

Who?

No one. It's me. I don't want to go outside.

But why?

Did you get yourself in trouble?

Stop asking. Anyway, I just can't leave the room.
