Love and Destiny (宸汐缘)

- A'Mo? - Father, are you going out?

Look at this weather, there's thunder and lightning.

I was worried about you being in the mountains alone gathering herbs.

I was about to go find you.

Come, give me the herb basket.

No need.

Then let's go back now.

What's wrong? What's wrong with your leg?

It's nothing. It's nothing.

You have to be careful in the future.

Let's go.

Are you cold?

Why aren't you going inside?

Father, do you have something on your mind?

It's actually not a big issue.

The Song Family sent the marriage proposal yesterday.

I'm thinking that you're about to get married.

I am...

a bit reluctant to marry you off.

I'm not worried much about Aunt and Uncle Song,

I'm just worried about this future son-in-law of mine.

He has left home for a long time after all.

Has his temperament changed?

I also heard

his chess and martial arts skills are all very good.

But why does a scholar need to practice martial arts?

How is his temper?

Will he bully you?

Moreover, he will take the Imperial civil examination.

What if he passes?

If he gets sent to be an official someplace else,

won't it be hard for me to see you again?

Why didn't I think of this?

If you are married off alone,

what if someone bullies you,

and I'm not with you?

I saw Young Lord Song today.

You two met?

Then what impression do you have of him?

He can understand sign language.

Really?

Then it means he is sincere toward you!

Then I won't need to worry about you anymore.

Come, come.

Before you get married, let's practice some more.

Look at the shape of my mouth.

Daddy.

Dad.

Yes, use force!

- Daddy! - Dad.

Right! Daddy.

- Daddy. - Daddy.

Husband.

- Hus... - Hus...

- Husband. - Husband.

Hus...

Hus! Hus!

Hus.

- Husband. - Husband.

Housekeeper Yu.

Housekeeper Song, you are here.

Is First Young Miss Lin home?

- Yes, yes. Please, this way. - Okay.

First Young Miss.

Come with me.

A'Mo.

This is Housekeeper Song.

First Young Miss.

My Master knows that tomorrow is your birthday.

He especially ordered me to deliver your birthday present.

These are fabrics that were specially bought in the capital.

Hope you will like them.

So beautiful!

What's great about fabrics from the capital?

Can my Lin Family not afford to buy one?

The fabrics of this dress of mine were all bought from the capital.

There's nothing rare about this.

Second Young Miss.

This is also the kind intention of Lord Song.

Our First Young Miss is thanking you.

First Young Miss, no need to be so courteous.

My Master said that our two families will be one soon.

We should have more interactions like this in the future.

Yes.

Then, I won't disturb you anymore.

I'll take my leave.

Please.

Please stay.

Take care then.

Come.

I thought it would be very delicious! It's just so-so.

This must have been stored for a long time.

Why are you looking at me? It's really not that good.

You don't believe me? Taste it.

See? Even she herself isn't willing to.

A rotten fabric and a snack that has been stored

for who knows how long were able to fool you.

You even bowed with hands held in front to him.

You are really so afraid of not getting married off.

What? You don't like to hear it?

Don't think that the Song Family really likes you.

I heard from my mother

that the Song Family owed our father for saving them.

Uncle Song is just repaying it.

Understand?

I also heard that their son was unwilling to return.

His father had to drag him back from the capital after sending several letters to him.

He is also against this wedding.

Or else, how come he still hasn't visited our house

after returning for quite some time?

That's more like it.

He's not dumb. Who will want to marry a deaf and mute woman as a wife?

You think you will have good days when you marry into their family?

I'm not done speaking!

The Young Lord of the Song family is outstanding in terms of looks and scholarly knowledge.

He must be very arrogant.

There are so many great ladies around. Maybe after a few days of being married to him,

you will be starting to take in concubines for him!

Second Young Miss.

First Young Miss can't hear you.

So what?

I just wanted to say it!

I also heard that their son was unwilling to return.

His father had to drag him back from the capital

after sending several letters to him.

He is also against this wedding.

Or else, how come he still hasn't visited our house

after returning for quite some time?

Who will want to marry a deaf and mute woman as a wife?

You think you will have good days when you marry into their family?

Come.

Tomorrow is A'Mo's birthday.

Without realizing it, she has already grown into a young lady.

Yes.

I still remember A'Mo being just this tall years ago.

In a blink of an eye, she's getting married.

Housekeeper Yu.

Remember to cook A'Mo some longevity noodles tomorrow.

Yes.

A'Mo is about to be married off soon.

This is her last birthday in this house.

Thank you, Grandmother.

Eat.

Eat. Come.

Look at the path.

First Young Miss is already asleep.

It will be her birthday tomorrow.

This peach tree will probably be blossoming again.

Do you still need to ask? It's as if you never saw it.

Every year, during First Young Miss's birthday, this tree will flower.

It's very accurate.

This peach tree being filled with flowers

is really so pretty to look at.

First Young Miss sits beneath this tree for a whole day.

The people in town all say that First Young Miss

is an auspicious person being protected by fairies.

What a pity this will be the last birthday that First Miss will spend in this house.

Once she's married off to the Song Family,

don't know if she will still have a chance to see this peach tree blossom?

Let's go.

What kind of person is he?

I keep feeling that he's not like what Little Sister described.

If he was indeed like that, would he like me?

I can just take one step at a time.

Little peach tree,

I will be married off soon.

In the future, I will not be living in this house.

Once I leave, will you still blossom?

Little peach tree,

I don't know about others,

but you surely like me.

Am I right?

Am I right?

Am I right?

First Young Miss, you're up.

Housekeeper Yu was the one who made these longevity noodles.

A very generous amount of ingredients were used. It must be very delicious.

First Young Miss, quickly eat it while it's hot.

Your father went to the Medicine Bureau.

He will be back soon.

You...

You are...giving me this?

I am not hungry.

Mother, today is my birthday.

This is my last birthday in this house.

Mother, I know that you don't like me.

In growing up, I have never done anything that you liked.

I...

I...

It's not that I don't like you.

But I was given birth by you.

I should be filial to you.

I couldn't hear upon birth.

I can't have chats with you and even caused you to be laughed at by others,

be disliked by Grandmother. It's all my fault.

I'm going to be married soon.

I can't frequently practice my filial duties by your side anymore.
