- Greetings, Heir Apparent. - Greetings, Heir Apparent.
Greetings, Heir Apparent.
The bad egg has arrived! The bad egg has arrived!
- Say that again! - The bad egg has arrived! The bad egg has arrived!
Master Heir Apparent.
Our Mister is taking an afternoon nap. Please allow me to send a message.
Afternoon nap? Perfect.
There's no need to send a message.
Yes.
Yuwen Yue!
Yan Xun, did you morph from monkey form?
I just dirtied your blankets.
If worst comes to worst, you could just make Xing'er wash it for you.
Xing'er. She is your main topic, right?
That's right. Where did you hide that little wildcat?
What does that have to do with you?
I am just worried that you're going to dull her little claws.
You're not afraid that her sharp little claws
will severely scratch you to the point where you're unrecognizable?
Of course not! You should be careful.
Mister! Three hours is up.
Your guest is still here!
Mister, can I pass now?
You think you can pass like this?
This is just the second round.
Now, start with eight panther heads.
Yue Qi.
Let her see.
Right now, you can see it clearly, right?
If you pass successfully, you may leave when you pull the chain.
Otherwise, you may return at three in the morning.
Xiaoqi, Xiaoba! Hurry and come help!
- What's wrong? - Sixth Older Sister!
What's wrong, Sixth Older Sister?
- Slowly, slowly! - Older Sister Jin Zhu!
Why would Mister let her sleep with us?
Listen up. This lowly wench offended me.
Mister personally punished her.
Hey, you! Bring her here.
You can't, you can't! No...
Older Sister Jin Zhu, that window is broken.
Wind will come in at night. It's very cold!
Isn't that better then?
A maid servant who got kicked back to the servants' house after crawling into someone else's bed for one night,
it's best for her to clear her head.
My older sister is already hurt and you still want to have the wind blow on her?
You talk too much!
She was beaten too cruelly!
What are you doing? Do it softer.
Go sleep, go sleep!
That Yuwen Yue! He doesn't differentiate between anything!
He beat Older Sister like this!
There is no one good inside the Yuwen family!
That's not right. If a servant did something wrong,
either they get tied up and beaten, or are sent to the Criminal Servant Prison.
What master tortures her until early in the morning?
Isn't this...?
Hurry, hurry! Come here!
Let me tell you. We must take good care of Older Sister.
Perhaps, our futures
and lives have hope!
What does that mean?
You won't get it even if I tell you!
Also, remember! You must not take that wood pearl out again.
Do you understand?
Child, remember. You can only depend on yourself.
If you fall, then pick yourself up.
If one wants to cut off the river, he must block the origin first.
That counts, too?
Why wouldn't it count?
Didn't Mister say that if I got rid of the eight panther heads, I can pull the chain and leave?
I got rid of them already.
Mister wants you to improve your speed, not to become a smart aleck.
Xing'er already knows the basics.
Now, I can deal with arrows coming from all eight directions.
Mister, I took a whole year to master this martial art technique.
Very good. Now, your eyes and hands are fast.
You understand the "how" but you don't understand the "why."
I know what I did wrong.
Continue your punishment tomorrow.

Mister has ordered that you may rest after three incense sticks.
Then does this count as the last round?
Get up.
I was definitely standing as I should.
You attacked me with that red date, so I fell.
You dare to argue back?
You're not allowed to come down.
Sword.
What can you do with such little martial art skills?
I knew you wouldn't amount to anything.
I will only demonstrate once.
Watch carefully!
I must hang in there.
Hang in there!
Can't amount to anything.
Xiaoqi, Xiaoba, hurry and come help!
Hurry up! Move faster!
Sixth Older Sister!
What's wrong?
What's wrong? Why did Mr. Yue beat her up so cruelly again?
Chief Butler Zhu.
Recently, have there been any movements?
Now, Mr. Yue is secretly training that lowly wench, Xing'er, under the guise of punishment.
I do not know the reason for doing that.
Then that means Yuwen Yue has a use for that lowly wench?
Correct!
I understand. Let me think about this carefully.
I think that Xing'er will eventually become trouble for us!
How about we get rid of her before she gets a good foundation?
Find a chance to test her abilities.
Yes, Chief Butler Zhu.
Sister, that Jinzhu kid kept showing off.
- Exactly. - Sixth Older Sister, we missed you so much these days.
Did she bully you two again?
No. She only said a bunch of nonsense.
I love how she talks with vulgarities now.
The more she says it, the more it means she envies us!
That's right! The more jealous she is, the happier I am!
Look at you two now. You look a little like Jin Zhu.
Really?
Sixth Older Sister is praising us for looking like the top maidservant of Household Three!
You guys don't look like the top maidservant, you two look really mean and bitter.
Mean and bitter? There is nothing wrong with that.
Only then will we not be bullied!
Xiaoba is right!
Hey.
Come here.
What do you want?
Wash these clothes and dry them before dinner tonight.
Tomorrow morning, send it to my room.
Those don't look like Mister's clothes.
Are you blind? How could these be his clothes?
They're mine.
- Yours? Why should our Sixth Older Sister wash your clothes? - That's right!
Do you have a right to talk as a lowly wench?
You really think you're a master here?
Yue Qi!
Save me!
Yue Qi! Yue Qi, save me, Yue Qi!
Yue Qi! Hurry and help me! Hurry and let me down!
Making a big fuss out of nothing. What happened?
Big problem. The big problem is...
Hurry up and let me down!
Mister wants to drink tea and there is no one to prepare it!
Hurry and go prepare then!
Yes!
Hey!
Let's go.
Let's go!
That's what happened. Xing'er is able to manage herself quite well under Jin Zhu's attacks.
It looks like her suffering was not in vain.
Did I train her only for self-protection?
Mister, there is something I must say.
Don't you think it's weird? Xing'er's progress is too fast.
This makes no sense. Unless, it's...
Unless what?
Unless she had strict training when she was young.
And she had very good training in the basics.
I have allowed Yue Spies to continue digging into Xing'er's past.
She isn't a big threat right now.
To ensure that you can use Xing'er as a weapon sooner,
don't you think you should push her harder?
This way, you can uncover her potential even more.
[Qingshan House]
Come here.
You.
Go get a pair of scissors.
Yes.
Master.
Silver bells?
Xing'er's silver bells are much prettier than Older Sister Jin Zhu's!
Jin Zhu, clean out your room. It's now Miss Xing'er's.
No.
I was sent over by the grand madam of Household Three! No one can take my room!
This is Qingshan House. Xing'er is Mister's personal maidservant.
Put yourself in the appropriate position. Don't step over your boundaries.
From now on, only silver bells can clean Mister's library.
Xing'er is the only one who can enter Mister's bedroom.
Do you hear?
You can all leave.
That Xing'er is not a regular girl!
- She managed to seduce the Young Master. - Exactly!
Stop right there.
Did you all hear about it?
In the future, treat that Xing'er
- a little better. - Yes.
Young Master, is this your definition of "making it harder"?
I thought you were going to torture Miss Xing'er and force her to reveal her ultimate limit.
But why do you only give her good things?
The biggest pressure is giving her so much good luck that she cannot handle it,
and then to have her feel everyone's jealousy and envy.
Look at her! She really thinks she's so amazing now!
She doesn't even know who she is.
She is quite talented to seduce Mr. Yue.
Who knows what she did behind the scenes?
Excuse me, where is the honey?
Who can tell me where the honey is?
Ignore her.
- Let me get you a chair. - Thank you.
Who broke this stool?
The cut is so smooth. It was clearly cut by a knife.
All of you were in this house all day. Don't say you don't know.
We really don't know. It is very busy everyday. Who has time to brake a stool?
All right. It's okay if you don't know. I will not pursue the matter.
But there is something I want to say to you all.
Miss Xing'er, your identity has changed now that you've climbed into Mr. Yue's bed,
but you broke that stool.
Later, if our supervisor asks about it, we must speak the truth.
We are all servants. No one is higher or lower in rank than anyone else.
I'm here because I just want my younger sisters and I to have a good life.
I will not bully you all for no reason.
But it's best if you don't provoke me.
It is not easy to bully me either.
Where there's a lot of women, gossip follows closely.
Bullying and playing dirty tricks,
is common in a slave room.
But I must advise you all.
In this big house, it's hard for each of us to survive.
Instead of fighting with each other, why not watch each other's back
and help each other instead?
We were wrong, Miss Xing'er.
Where each thing should be, what work each person should do,
if you all understand this, I would only understand it better.
From now on, I will serve by Mr. Yue's side. I will see you all often.
Making things easy for others is making things easy for yourself.
I think all of you should understand that logic, right?
Ugh, how noisy.
So it was Miss Xing'er acting high and mighty here.
Older Sister Jin Zhu.
What? You just became a silver bell and now you're already starting to teach others a lesson?
How would I have the guts to do that, Older Sister Jin Zhu?
It's just that I am now Mr. Yue's personal maidservant.
So I just came here to say hello to everyone.
All right. They do not know the rules and didn't prepare a gift for you.
But that's okay. I prepared one for you.
Normally, servants like us cannot eat something this nice.
Oh, that's right.
You grew up in the grasslands. I heard you even think rats are delicious.
Naturally, you have never eaten such a delicious snack before.
Why don't you bring this back to your little sisters so that they can try something new?
Take it as my present to you.
What's wrong? Don't tell me that you are mad.
I'm telling you, don't greed for more after getting better treatment!
Or should I teach you some more rules?
Older Sister Jin Zhu, rules need to be taught by those who understand them.
I don't think you have that right yet.
Don't think that you have protection just because you're by Mr. Yue's side.
Let's just wait and see.
Okay.
Heir Apparent.
The spring breeze feels so good, but you want to stay in your room and grow moldy?
Heir Apparent, what nice nonsense are you up to now?
What is nice nonsense?
This is me preparing to have a really good time.
Zhao Xifeng just came back from He Dao with his father.
We all set a date to go play horse polo and everyone is going.
But I heard that they didn't invite Yuwen Huai.
Don't tell anyone that I told you.
The Zhao and Wei families prepared the best food.
Let me tell you. If you don't go,
this time, you will regret it for an entire spring!
If I go,
you and that delicious food would regret it.
You mean, you will go. Right?
That's right. There is one more thing. Call your little wildcat out, too.
Let her have some fun with us. Release her and let her see the world.
In the future, she will be of more use to you.
Why?
"Why?"
A little maidservant! Look at how careful you're being!
All right, I can give you my father's treasured horse.
I will take away Xing'er, have her cheer for me.
You're not taking her, you're not borrowing her.
I do not want the horse. I will not accept it.
You won't take it?
All right, you—! You won't take it?
I treat you as my best friend in Chang'an City! You won't take it?
How is that possible? Her progress is too fast.
Why did you come here again?
It's such a nice day. There is nice scenery in your Qingshan House.
I don't want to miss it.

I deserve to die!
You reacted too slowly. Your skills are too poor.
- Hurry and wipe my clothes dry. - Yes.
It seems like I have not punished you enough.
Mister, I do not understand why you keep punishing me.
You really don't understand? Because you are my personal bedchamber maidservant.
Making you hang wooden buckets on yourself is so that
when carrying water and brewing tea, you can do so in one breath and with less shaking. Making you jump constantly,
it is to make your body more agile and actions more beautiful.
The flying stone punishment is to make your hands and eyes fast. That way, you
will not look so stupid nor become an easy target.
Xing'er understands.
Understand what?
You thought of everything. You have put in a lot of effort for me.
Are your words true?
Of course!
I am very grateful to you, Mister.
I'm tired of seeing you play petty tricks.
You can leave!
Yes.
It's been three days. When do you intend to move out?
Aren't I here waiting to clean things up for you?
What is this?
That is not my stuff. How would I know what it is?
Don't think that I don't know. Dirty-minded, wanton prostitution.
I never would have thought of it.
You lowly wench, you've thought of having a lover.
What kind of evidence do you have to prove that it is mine?
I got it from your bag.
Besides,
this sort of obscene object would only be kept around by an obscene person.
Naturally, a person like you who grew up on the grasslands is crass
and doesn't know how to feel shame.
Instead of playing so many little tricks, why not use your brain?
Based on your situation now, do you think you can still move me?
The grand madam of the Household Three sent me here precisely because Mister is so young.
Female slaves must remain pure and be pushed away from lust.
If I find out anything, that person will be immediately sent to the manor of Household Three's grand madam,
and there, they shall be beaten to death.
Fine. I will go tell the Chief Butler and see how he deals with you.
Oh no! Older Sister Jin Zhu, your stuff fell!
Jing Xiaoliu! Watch your words! Don't go overboard!
The green hill could not be hidden, the river runs east.
Jin Zhu, there are some words I will only say once, and some warnings I will only give once.
Those who suit their actions to the time are wise. Next time if you want to frame me again,
I advise you, use your brain first. Don't appear to be a gorgeous pig.
Right now,
- please get lost! - You—!
Could that masked woman be Jin Zhu?
Mr. Huai!
Mr. Huai! That Xing'er is big trouble!
I cannot get rid of her!
I beg you, please find a solution to get rid of her.
What a useless and troublesome wench.
Once the time to make a move arrives,
I will eradicate them all!
Go back quickly. Wait for my order.
Yes.
Do you still have the human skin gloves?
- Yes! - Hide them well.
If you lose them, I will rip your skin off.
I'll make it into gloves.
Wait.
If your identity is revealed, watch your little life!
You can leave.
Could the human skin gloves be in her hands?
What are you looking for?
I lost something recently. I came to look for it.
What is it?
It's nothing important.
Go look. I want to see what you're looking for.
Forget it. I thought about it carefully, and there's no need to search.
You have lived here for so many days already. Who knows if that thing is still here?
Let's just say that I'm showing kindness and gave it to a beggar.
She's feeling guilty from her crime. Older Brother Linxi's death
must have something to do with her!
Mister, we have discovered that Xing'er came to the Jing house three years ago.
It's said that she's the illegitimate daughter of the Jings' father.
As to where she lived before and who raised her,
no one knows about it. Do you still remember
that one year ago,
Luo He was killed and her daughter fell into the water and went missing?
Perhaps, I have overthought things.
But Xing'er's martial arts skills are improving too quickly. It's unthinkable.
