Are all of you here?
I'm on a tight schedule today,
so instead of facing you all one at a time,
why don't I take you all on at one go?
Have you all brought those items from home?
Do you understand the rules?
Understand!
Does anyone still have questions?
Say.
That... I-I forgot to bring it with me.
Get lost!
All right.
Lord Jin has won!
Move your meat stall three steps to the left
so it won't block the vegetable booth.
I agreed on the bet, and I have accepted my loss.
Lord Jin has won!
Stop hitting your child. If you persist, you'll be hit instead.
Lord Jin has won!
Go home and spend more time with your wife and kids!
Lord Jin has won again!
- Pay back the debts you owe over the next few days. - Lord Jin won again!
Go home earlier to cook.
- Find someone and get married soon. - Lord Jin wins!
- Don't let your mother worry about you anymore. - He wins! He wins!
Teach the students well.
Old Man Zhang Won.
I agreed on the bet, and I have accepted my loss.
Lord Jin, you let me win. (T/N A polite saying after winning a game.)
Go ahead. What's wrong?
Lord Jin, please help me open up a treasure chest that was handed down to me by my family.
A treasure chest!
So that was your predicament.
You should've told me earlier so I could open it up for you.
Now I've been embarrassed in front of so many people.
I'll go back home with you later to open it.
There's no need, there's no need. It's here.
That must be it. Over here, over here!
No, no.
It's here.
I-It's here.
Okay.
I'll open it up for you.
Let me borrow your hairpin.
It's been opened so easily?
Let me see.
It's empty.
Where's your treasure?
I said... I was referring to the family treasure chest that was handed down to me.
Okay, then put the treasure chest away safely.
Lord Jin, your reputation for lock picking is certainly well deserved.
- "Practice makes perfect." - What?
Lord Jin, you're actually...
You can't go around mouthing off like that.
If that Devil General were to overhear you, he'd think I was a thief and lock me up.
How could anyone lock you up, Lord Jin?
That's right.
That's right.
If anyone asks any questions, I was never here.
Don't let him get away!
- Lord Jin! - He's run away!
Lord Jin, don't go!
Move aside!
Stop right there!
Move aside! Move aside!
Stop right there! Stop running!
Move aside! Move aside!
Stop right there! Stop running!
That's amazing!
- Stop right there! - Stop right there!
Move aside! Move aside!
Is it that difficult?
Stop there!
Stop right there!
Did I get it in?
Lord Jin, run!
Run? Go ahead and run!
Really?
I-
Lord Jin!
The young miss of the Rui Royal Manor is indeed an outstanding beauty.
The third miss is certainly devastatingly beautiful.
and is so lovable and docile.

The Emperor is bestowing marriage this time based on the portraits.
But why is little Jin the only one having her portraits painted?
Her mother was only a servant who washed feet.
If she hadn't taken advantage of Father while he was drunk,
why would we end up with a sister that doesn't do much and runs around wild.
Everything she has in the manor, be it food or clothing, cannot be compared to even my highest ranked servants.
How could she claim to be related to us?
I'm afraid they'll smear our manor's reputation as they're living there in that bungalow.
Elder Sister, do not fret.
It was my servant who led the Painter to his room.
and made sure he painted my Third Older Sister
as beautiful as flowers and precious jade.
You've made her look slightly chubbier.
This... It's better for her to look more ample. It's better for her to look more ample.
Okay.
You can also go down.
Yes.
Why're you still smiling?
You are dismissed.
The imperial edict has arrived!
We just sent out the portrait, and the imperial edict has already arrived?
Aren't they moving a little too quickly?
Why're you still smiling?
Stop smiling!
By the grace of God,
the emperor proclaimed:
It is said that the young ladies of Rui Royal Manor are virtuous, generous,
gentle, kind-hearted and outstandingly beautiful.
Upon hearing this, I am very pleased.
Lord Yongning reached his twenties this year,
it is time for him to get married.
A worthy woman should be chosen.
According the seniority order,
the second Miss Shen still haven't been betrothed
and is worthy to be called a match made in Heaven with Lord Yongning.
In order to see a couple come together,
you have specially been betrothed to Lord Yongning as his imperial concubine.
Everything will be done according to protocols for a princess.
The Board of Rites and head of Board of Astronomy will be in charge.
The blessed time has been chosen. You will depart tomorrow.
And you should marry as soon as you arrive.
So decrees the Emperor.
Chu Xiuming.
Lord Yongning.
The Devil General!
Father always loved Zi'er the best.
You can't force me to that devilish living hell!
Isn't it letting me forfeit my whole life ?
It's true, Your Highness. You always loved Zi'er the most.
I believe, you won't have the heart to
let her be devastated by that tyrant, right?
- My Lord. - What does a married women like you know?
If I refuse this, it's defying an imperial order!
It's a crime worth being decapitated!
Father, why are you yelling at Mother?
Mother is just being caring.
She feels sorry for the girl forced into marrying far away from home.
Jin'Er, it's mother who spoke too much.
Father. I heard the wet nurses of the palace saying
that at that time, second sister was born around the same time as the third sister.
When third sister was born, because of an inborn weakness,
she still isn't on the genealogical record.
It's chaotic at the time the children were being born.
It's unclear who was born first, right?
It's true, Your Majesty.
After Eldest sister married,
the Rui royal family didn't have any more daughters of the formal wife.
To the emperor, as long as it's a daughter of the Rui royal family, it should be fine.
According to the family order, I wasn't the second child.
Father, you always said I am pure, because I'm still young.
Thinking like this...
Perhaps Shen Jin is the second daughter!
You pretend all day long to be the girl of a wealthy family, you didn't learn anything good.
You're an expert at malicious attacks!
Jin'er. My Lord.
On the day she was born, Jin'er really came after the second miss.
Your Majesty, I remember clearly,
Jin'er was born first.
Moreover, the portrait that was sent to the palace today was of Jin'er!
Since things are like this,
this wedding alliance is extremely important to the Rui Royal Manor.
No matter which daughter has to marry,
My Lord will be thankful on behalf of all Rui Royal Manor,
and will send her to get married in style.
Good.
She's right.
Let's do it her way.
Then, let's marry Jin'er off.
My Lord!
Thank you, my Lord!
Thank you, Father.
I-
I won't marry!
If you don't then who will?
Jin'er. Jin'er, come back.
- Miss! -Jin'er, come back!
Because Shen Jin was weak at birth, she wasn't registered in the family book.
My Lord always remembered it.
Now he dares to open the ancestral hall right before the wedding,
he wants to formally add Shen Jin's name and birth date on record.
Consort Chen, why are you not cooperating?
Even though Jin'er's Eight Characters (T/N One's birth year, month, day and hour used for fortune-telling.)
weren't formally registered,
but the family has our own record.
I will be direct with you,
Today, you need to give us your thumb print whether you want to or not. (T/N Thumb print is used as a personal seal)
You'd better cooperate.
I'm not going to send to my daughter to a living hell.
You're still so stubborn. Do it.
Stamp it, quickly!
