Lady Sour (Vinegar Wife / 醋娘子 / Chuk Leung Ji)

I've been totally obedient, but Aunt Sheung keeps giving me a hard time.

She's jealous of you. She doesn't even know what men smell like.

But I wouldn't scare my husband away like you did.

Aunt Sheung?

What are you doing here? You're not welcome here.

You, go look after the shop.

How can you be so heartless?

The Chin family has hired so many servants. Why ask my daughter to look after the shop?

Your daughter insisted on marrying into our family.

She must follow our family rules.

As her aunt-in-law, I ordered her to look after the shop.

She shouldn't have left.

Ordered?

It's not worth arguing.

Look at you. You've got wrinkles and dark circles under your eyes.

Ask Madam Cho to give you a beauty treatment.

My skin feels much smoother after the treatment.

But she's a swindler, isn't she?

I'm known for my magic hands.

If you dare lie down, I'll give you a treatment for free.

I'm a reasonable person.

If the treatment is good, I'll definitely pay full price.

I'm just worried your stuff isn't good enough.

Everything Madam Cho uses is of high quality.

I've tried them all. They really work.

You want to do it or not? Lie down, OK?

I'll just sit up.

Aunt Sheung, never sit up while having a beauty treatment.

Your face will be covered in anti-wrinkle cream.

If you don't lie down, your skin will start to sag.

Go back to the shop.

Yes, Aunt Sheung.

Hey, what's with the burning sensation? Are you trying to trick me?

This is great stuff. It will make your skin soft and silky.

You'd better be right.

Of course, Miss Sheung. Alright. Close your eyes and take a rest.

I'm going to boil some water and wash your face later.

Hmm.

Oh, you're back already?

Hey, my shoulders are so tight. Give me a massage, OK?

Hey, not the head, shoulders.

Right. Harder please.

You didn't eat anything? Harder.

That's good.

You sure know how to give a great massage.

Harder.

Wow! That feels good!

Good, huh?

Help!

Is that Aunt Sheung's voice?

What has Mom done this time?

Why are you standing in my way?

No! Mo Tai-long pushed me to the ground!

He pushed you to the ground?

I get it! You were standing guard for him!

I didn't!

Then why don't you go catch him to prove you're innocent?

What's going on?

There must be some misunderstanding!

Misunderstanding? I was molested and she was an accomplice!

No one knew I was here except you! I'm going to report you now!

You even got my handkerchief? Just admit you were an accomplice!

Wait! Try to be reasonable and listen to me!

You can tell the judge about it!

Hey!

If it's taken to court,

Ching-ching won't be able to stand in the Chin family!

Mom, let's go! Ching-ching...

Justice prevails...

Court!

Miss Chin, you just filed a charge against Madam Chin and Mo Tai-long

for conspiring together to sexually assault you. What's your evidence?

Your Honour, everyone knows Mo Tai-long admires my beauty.

He just molested me at Yat Lo Inn!

Luckily I was smart enough to save my maidenhood!

Seemingly my niece-in-law has nothing to do with Mo Tai-long,

but in fact they conspired with each other to harm me!

She's such an evil woman!

A while ago, she used pineapple to harm her husband...

Stop saying things that aren't true!

To make our whole family live in fear, there's nothing you wouldn't do!

Your Honour, she never really liked me.

Earlier on, she purposely ruined a painting I had kept for years.

I treated her like family.

I even taught her how to make vinegar, but she repaid my kindness with evil.

What's more...

Your Honour, obviously she's after our family's wealth!

Why must you distort the truth?

Stop calling yourself a victim! Stop saying you're being schemed!

Your Honour, please don't overlook the obvious!

I told her to go back to the shop, but she turned back. Why?

She was standing guard for Mo Tai-long so that he could molest me!

She even helped him get away with it!

No, Your Honour! Mo Tai-long pushed me to the ground!

I got a bruise from that! Look!

You're trying to find excuses!

You're making false accusations!

You're evil!

You're delusional!

You...

Quiet!

Let's go!

Move over...

Go! Kneel down!

Ouch!

Mo Tai-long, Miss Chin is suing you

for conspiring with Madam Chin to sexually assault her.

Is that the truth?

Your Honour, I couldn't hold it in. I lost control and molested Miss Chin.

It has nothing to do with Madam Chin. We didn't conspire.

Your Honour, you don't believe him, do you?

Mo Tai-long stole my handkerchief a while ago. It was found in her possession.

They're probably having an affair.

You...

Your Honour, Madam Chin knew I stole it, so she asked me to return it.

Miss Chin, you're the only one I love! No other women can get me excited!

You're crazy! Get away from me!

The truth has come out. Here's the verdict.

Mo Tai-long, you attempted to sexually assault Miss Chin Sheung.

You are hereby ordered to stay 100 steps away from Miss Chin from today onwards.

Also, you'll be paraded through the streets with a board saying "voyeur" for ten days

for rehabilitation purposes.

Get up.

Miss Chin! Get up!

Come!

The case is closed.

Wait, Your Honour, what about the other convict?

That's enough. This case has nothing to do with Madam Chin.

You're just chasing the wind and catching the shadows.

That means there are shadows!

Perhaps she's not the mastermind, but she's definitely the instigator.

Aunt Sheung, you accused me of having an affair!

You keep pushing me into a corner!

Your Honour, please do me justice!

Your Honour!

I didn't expect my first day would be so tough.

The two of you are family, right? I hereby order the two of you

to apologise to each other and forget the whole thing.

Your Honour, my aunt-in-law wasn't being fair!

If I apologise, it'll be like admitting I tried to harm her! I refuse to apologise!

Your Honour, see? She still won't apologise! There's no way I'll apologise to her!

Since you refuse to apologise, just remain kneeling until you're willing to apologise!

Stop!

Grandma.

Old Madam looks so pale. She needs to rest.

It's alright. Keep going.

Yes, Grandma.

Who do you think will speak first?

Ching-ching, because Chin Sheung is very stubborn.

But Ching-ching's knees are pretty strong.

Your Honour, it's been an hour, but they still...

Just keep waiting and see who will speak first.

Her Highness is here!

My Lord, I heard my daughter had a dispute with my granddaughter-in-law.

Did you find out what happened?

The dispute has been resolved. It was a misunderstanding.

If that's the case, Your Honour, why are they kneeling in front of you?

Your Highness, they had a dispute, so I asked them to apologise to each other.

If they don't compromise, they will set the worst example for Yau Tak Town.

I must handle this case impartially.

I agree with what you said. Their dispute concerns mainly my family.

Please let me take them home and teach them a lesson.

Your Highness, I'm afraid I can't do that.

Once taken to court, this is no longer a private matter.

Also, if they're willing to apologise, I won’t be harsh on them.

Your Highness, why don't you go home first?

I'm not going anywhere.

Mom!

Grandma!

Miss Chin, Madam Chin, will you apologise to each other?

Apologise... Don't apologise...

Honey, why don't you apologise first?

We can talk about it later. You know I'm on your side.

Honey, I can compromise over many things, but this time I didn't do anything wrong.

I just can’t apologise for nothing.

Right! That's my daughter!

Quiet! Your Highness, looks like they wont apologise to each other anytime soon.

Why don't you go home and rest?

I want to stay here.

Mom!

Grandma!

Old Madam!

I apologise! I caused this misunderstanding. It's all my fault. Aunt Sheung, I'm sorry.

I admit I didn't think this through. I'm sorry. Your Honour, is that alright now?

It's good both of you have apologised. Your Highness, you've taught them well.

Court adjourned!

Kneel down! Help Ching-ching up!

Sure. Get up first.

Sheung-sheung, Mo Tai-long molesting you was a serious matter!

Why didn't you talk to me and your brother before making the final decision?

Sorry, Mom.

You should know you're a decent woman of noble birth.

How could you behave like the lower class?

You don't get mocked for this incident, I do.

Remember, don't ever do that again.

Yes, I'll remember that.

Get up.

Grandma, I...

It's fine. You're not of the same surname.

If I make you kneel, people will say I'm harsh on my granddaughter-in-law.
