Love and Destiny (宸汐缘)

Why did you bring me here?

Wait a minute.

Take this.

Take it!

I told you to take it!

I'm warning you, I'm a government official.

You must know that the crime of abducting an official is serious--

Stop with your nonsense! If I tell you to take it, then take it.

Start.

Sta...

Start what?

- Cook porridge. - Cook...?

You... especially abducted me here to help you...

cook porridge?

Why else?

Let me remind you that "a warrior can be killed but not insulted".

With you playing me like this today,

I will never cook that porridge, even if you beat me to death!

If you don't cook this porridge well today,

don't you ever think of leaving.

No. Try again!

Spicy, spicy!

That was so spicy!

You can leave.

You're free.

Leave!

Leave!

Qingyao!

Can I come in?

Come in.

You're awake.

Is your head still painful?

I feel much better.

That's good.

You are...

I... tried a lot of times,

but failed. This one is probably acceptable.

I initially wanted to let that...

Nothing. Have a try.

- You made this? - Yes.

You surely are hungry. Have a try.

How is it?

If it's very bad, stop eating.

Give it to me. I'll make another one.

How about I make some more?

Qingyao, I especially asked the cook to teach me today.

The porridge today is surely--

Are you okay?

This one's not bad.

- Yes. - Okay. Okay.

- Second Young Mistress. - What delicious food is there today?

Second Young Mistress.

How come it's all vegetables again?

Right now, the Crown Prince is gravely ill.

The palace has given orders that everyone must eat vegetables only

to pray for blessings for the Crown Prince. At such a time, who would dare to sell meat?

Yes.

What does the Crown Prince being gravely ill have anything to do with us commoners?

Second Young Mistress, you cannot casually say such words.

If this gets out, you will be punished!

Uncle Song!

I, Zhan'er, greet Uncle Song.

No need for such formalities. Your Aunt misses you a lot.

She keeps nagging that you and your sister haven't visited her for chats for a long time.

It's my fault. I should have frequently visited Aunt.

It's just that I heard that Brother Song is back

and is studying at home. I was afraid to disturb him.

No need to be afraid. No need to be afraid to disturb him!

- Cheng'en. - Brother Lin.

Why are you here?

Of course it's because I have things to discuss with you.

Where is A'Mo?

Inside our house.

She most likely is reading medical books again.

Come, please go inside.

Brother Lin, after you.

What?

Cheng'en, did you say it wrong?

It was not wrong. I indeed am here to propose marriage to A'Mo,

on behalf of my son Ziyu.

But A'Mo...

Brother Lin, we have known each other for so many years.

How could I not know about your family's situation?

I saw A'Mo grow up.

I clearly know about her problem.

As the common saying goes, "in choosing a wife, choose an able one".

Although A'Mo can't talk nor hear,

what's precious about her is she has a kind temperament, is beautiful on the outside and wise inside.

My wife and I like her a lot.

You are not doing this because of that past incident, right?

You indeed saved my family before,

but this matter isn't because of that.

I really like A'Mo.

You also know that my son may be a bookworm from studying too much,

but he's filial and obedient.

Once A'Mo enters our home, we surely will treat her very well.

Brother Lin, is it that you can't bear to part with A'Mo,

or do you feel that my son Ziyu isn't worthy of having her?

Why must you say it that way?

Although I dote on A'Mo, I know myself well.

This child is, after all, a disabled person.

Ziyu will seek achievement and fame in the future. I'm worried that A'Mo...

will impede him.

He can go after his achievement and fame. What does that have to do with A'Mo?

Stop being too long-winded. Just give me an answer if you agree or not. Why worry so much?

A'Mo's fate isn't good.

Since little, she has been a child with a hard life.

For her to be married into your Song Family

is a good choice for a home for the rest of her life.

Thank you very much.

Brother Lin, you have raised a good daughter.

It should be me thanking you.

Don't worry. My Song Family will surely not treat A'Mo unfairly.

Once you agree, I will immediately go back to make preparations.

Okay.

I will listen to you.

Old Madam.

Lord Song has left. Master is on his way back here.

Did you hear what he discussed with Lord Song?

I heard them saying that the matter would be set as such.

It seems that in a few days, there will be betrothal gifts sent here.

Really? You didn't hear it wrong?

I didn't hear it wrong.

Congratulations, Second Young Mistress.

That Young Lord Song is really a handsome and talented lad.

You can't find a second one in the whole Wei County!

Xiao Ju, don't casually say things like that.

Mother.

What matter is making you all so happy?

Stop beating around the bush.

We all know about it.

You all know?

Xiao Ju heard it.

The date has been set.

The betrothal gifts will be arriving.

Moreover, I also sincerely like that child

from the Song Family.

Yes.

I really never knew that Cheng'en has never forgotten

that joke I made years ago.

His son is quite outstanding in terms of

character, looks, literary skills, and scholarly knowledge.

We also saw him grow up. We know everything about him.

Cheng'en and his wife are gentle, and easy to get along with.

Once our child gets married off to them, she won't be bullied.

This is really a good marriage match.

Of course.

Song Cheng'en's son has good looks and character,

but our Zhan'er is not bad too.

She's worthy of being paired with him. This is called

"a talented man paired with a beauty", a perfect match.

- Zhan'er? - Yes.

Mother, it's not Zhan'er.

- This— - What?

- It's not Zhan'er? - Impossible.

If it's not Zhan'er,

who else could it be?

Mother.

A'Mo, come with me.

The one that the Song Family wants to marry is A'Mo.

What?

Impossible!

I understand now. You all got it wrong.

She is deaf and mute. How could the Song Family want her?

Is that how you speak of your own older sister?

I don't believe it!

How could the Song Family like her?

"In marrying a wife, choose an able one." The Song Family thinks

that A'Mo is kind and filial.

Why can't it be possible?

Impossible. I don't believe it!

Senior Deity, do not be mad.

This is not my fault. Whatever Ling Xi has to go through in her mortal trials

has been predestined. It has nothing to do with me.

I have no intention of blaming you.

Senior Deity, I recently learned that the beast Huodou locked inside Demon Tower

has regained all of his five senses.

I suspect that Ling Xi losing her hearing

might have been the doing of Huodou.

That Huodou was once the ride of the ancient deity, God of Fire Zhurong.

Seventy-thousand years ago, in the battle at the Southern Wilderness,

God of Fire Zhurong got surrounded by the army of the Demon Lord while Huodou deserted the battlefield.

It was even you who personally captured him.

Afterward, his five senses were taken by Immortal Lord of Universal Turn, he was sent to the Demon Tower as its guard.

That Huodou beast started to go wild a few days ago and was subdued by Yuantong.

He has now been rid of his guard post and locked in here.

Wait for me here.

Yes.

God of War, God of War! That criminal immortal Huodou is up there.

Get lost!

Yes. Yes. I will get lost now.

God of War, just call me anytime you need anything.

That woman said

Zhurong will die soon. Is that true?

He is already dead.

He died quite cleanly.

But me?
