A Splendid Match

No one put me up to it. It was all my decision alone.

From beginning to end— you knew nothing about this.

No matter where you are— even if you end up before the Shuntian Prefecture—

you must say, that from start to finish you knew absolutely nothing.

Lan, but I— No "buts."

If you die, what will become of me? Mother.

Think of me—please, think of me.

She's lying! Lying?

She plotted against the Madam and it was all because of you, wasn't it?

And you dare claim you knew nothing about any of this?

They committed such utterly villainous acts and yet you claim to know nothing?

How utterly foolish can you be?

Sixty strokes. Make every stroke count. Lord Gu.

Send her to the estate as well when it's over. A moment, Lord Gu.

She nearly drove the Madam to her death. And her punishment is merely confinement?

Those words you just spoke— do you even believe them yourself?

they have been tampering with the Madam's medicine.

All this time Concubine Song— how could she possibly know nothing?

In judgment and in household governance one cannot rely on mere supposition.

even the Shuntian Prefecture could only rule the same way.

then I will go now and search Concubine Song's quarters.

I refuse to believe I won't find something. Qingpu—and Nanny Zhou— we're leaving.

Lord Gu, you mustn't! Sixty strokes will be the death of Nanny Zhou! Lord Gu

I beg you, Lord Gu! Can't bear to part with Nanny Zhou?
