The Sword and The Brocade (Jin Xin Si Yu / 锦心似玉)

=The Sword and the Brocade=

=Episode 1=

Your Ladyship.

Shiyi is just a kid.

She knows nothing.

She didn't mean to break

Yuanniang's hairpin.

Mother. - Please spare Shiyi.

Your Ladyship.

She really didn't mean to break

Yuanniang's hairpin.

Your Ladyship.

She didn't mean to do that.

Please spare Shiyi, Your Ladyship.

Spare Shiyi, please.

Shiyi.

Shiyi.

Shiyi.

I'm begging you.

Just apologize, won't you?

Apologize to Her Ladyship.

Will you please do that?

Shiyi.

Stop the flogging, please.

Yuanniang is the daughter of Lord Luo's wife.

Shiyi is the daughter of Lord Luo's concubine.

They are of different status.

The younger ones must respect the elder ones.

That's the rule.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

What's wrong?

What's the matter, Shiyi?

Mother.

Did you have a nightmare?

It's alright. It's alright.

You're fine.

I'm with you.

Don't be afraid.

We need to hurry up with our journey tomorrow.

Sleep early.

Come on.

You're getting more and more proficient.

Master Jian

has not wasted her energy training you.

Do you remember this?

It's the first piece of embroidery

you made and gave me three years ago

when you just learned how to embroider.

I've been carrying it with me all this time.

Years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Mother, when I've finished this piece of embroidery,

you'll have something new to carry with you.

Alright.

The Luo Family has been ignoring us

over the past three years.

It doesn't even pay us the monthly sum sometimes.

If Lady Shiyi hadn't been selling her embroidery works,

we would have starved to death in Yuhang.

On a side note, Her Ladyship has summoned us

back to the capital out of the blue.

I wonder what kind of fortune awaits us.

Mother, don't worry.

I won't let you suffer anymore.

My Lord.

Proper arrangements have been made at Yunlai Inn.

My Lord.

Will those two fugitives really go there?

That place is a secret lair of the Fujian pirates.

Jiang Huai and Liu Yong

intend to flee to Fujian.

They need help from Yunlai Inn.

Forgive us for our dereliction of duty.

What's done is done.

Pointing fingers is useless at this stage.

Now we must capture the fugitives

and take them to the capital

as soon as possible.

Yes.

It's getting late.

Dongqing.

Let's find an inn and settle down for the night.

Take a look. Take a look.

Welcome.

Come in, please.

Be careful.

Tea is here.

What would you like to have?

Crap.

That's their code word.

New guests have arrived.

Miss, our inn is full.

You can move ahead

and find another inn a street away.

Please move ahead.

But you have an empty table there.

Madam, let's go there.

Mother.

It's getting late.

Let's find another inn to spend the night.

But...

How about...

What are you doing?!

Jiang Huai, let her go or you will die.

Interesting.

You, the government force, will subject us

to a fate crueler than death if you capture us.

Let us go or we'll kill her right now.

Let her go.

Let her go.

Shiyi.

Shiyi.

My Lady.

Chief. Let's ride the horses.

Cross the bridge.

Shiyi.

Be careful.

My Lady.

My Lord.

My Lord.

Come on.

Shiyi. - My Lady.

Shiyi.

Shiyi.

Move.

Chief, what should we do now?

Tell them to get out of our way,

or I'll kill her right now.

Shiyi. - My Lady.

My Lady.

My Lady.

Watch out, My Lady.

Don't injure her.

Capture them.

Hurry up and capture them.

Young Master, something seems to have happened.

Young Master, someone has fallen into the water.

I'll go help.

Young Master.

Shiyi.

You got us so worried.

Shiyi.

My Lady, you're finally awake.

How are you feeling?

I'm alright.

Be careful.

Where am I?

You're in the inn.

Thank goodness, a kind young man

saved you earlier.

Because you tried to save me,

you were held hostage by the criminals.

If you were killed, I'd lose the will to live.

Mother, it's over now.

Rest at ease.

I wonder what kind of official that man is.

I've never seen

an official act with such a disregard for human life.

They released the arrows when you were

still held hostage by the criminals.

If that arrow had hit a little off the mark,

you would be...

That man is cold and ruthless.

But if he hadn't acted with decisiveness,

I wouldn't have come through.

Alright. Alright.

Drink the ginger soup now.

Warm yourself up.

I failed to protect the innocent hostage

and almost injured her.

If you hadn't arrived in time,

I'd have made a grave mistake.

It was not entirely your fault.

But

why didn't you let me

explain the situation to them?

You got injured for saving her,

yet they only remember the arrow you shot.

You're getting blamed wrongly.

They were endangered and frightened

because we failed to carry out the operation.

It's fortunate enough that they are safe.

My Lord, the other pirate Liu Yong

escaped amid the chaos.

We haven't found him yet.

Pass my order to the nearby county governments:

assist us in searching for the pirate.

Yes, My Lord.

Don't worry, My Lord.

Liu Yong won't get away.

You and I both know
