Nothing Gold Can Stay
Episode 5
Mr. Bai, you should know the purpose of my visit.
Shen Yue Sheng.
Even though Mr. Zhao released me...
...Shen Family believes that Wu Family killed Shen Yue Sheng.
In order to prove our innocence and...
...redress the injustice for Shen Yue Sheng...
...I came to inquire about Shen Yue Sheng's cause of death.
Young Master Yue Sheng was stabbed with a knife in his head.
What kind of knife? -That knife is very special.
How special?
Wait. Bring me brush and ink. -Yes, Young Master Pin.
I've been a legal advisor for more than 10 years.
But, I've never seen a weapon like this.
This should be a western dagger.
No wonder then.
Who in Jingyang might own a dagger like this?
Merchants in Jingyang...
...do business with people across the country.
But, I've never heard of anyone who has dealings with westerners.
Who do you suspect?
I still find Wu Family most suspicious.
If the corpse was found elsewhere...
...Wu Family would be the biggest suspect.
But, the corpse was found in Wu Family's warehouse...
...right when the imperial commissioner was visiting.
This actually proves that Wu Family...
...wasn't aware of Shen Yue Sheng's death.
Setting that aside, was Shen Yue Sheng...
...on bad terms with anyone?
Perhaps he was on bad terms with Wu Family.
I believe the culprit killed Shen Yue Sheng...
...to frame Wu Family.
Father, I talked to Mr. Bai.
There is a clue. But, I have no idea.
Let's set this matter aside for now.
By the way...
...Shen Family is holding Shen Yue Sheng's funeral.
Tell Yang to attend the funeral.
I'll go.
YOU?
In terms of status...
...I'm more suitable than Housekeeper Yang.
No. Shen Family hates you to the core now.
That's why I should go and show everyone that...
...I'm not afraid because I've a clear conscience.
Wu Pin.
You only consider your own feelings.
You never consider the feelings of others.
Prior to this, you swallowed your pride...
...to collaborate with Shen Family out of goodwill.
What happened in the end? Shen Family had their own plan.
There was a problem with the goods...
...and Wu Family almost got dragged into the trouble.
Yes, your intention is good.
But, will Shen Si Hai appreciate it?
They might even think that you are there to show off.
Father, that's Shen Family's problem.
I need to play my pad.
No. Now, Shen Family and Wu Family...
...are not just competitors.
They see us as their enemy now.
They might hurt you.
Maybe I can resolve the problem by attending the funeral.
You're too simple-minded.
His son is dead.
Mourning can't solve the problem.
But, if I don't go, it'll reflect badly on Wu Family.
I'd rather be criticised than let you take the risk.
Father, no matter how dissatisfied they are...
...they can't hurt me in broad daylight...
...in front of everyone.
Human heads are complicated.
He's not as honourable as you.
You'll be the one treated unfairly.
Enough. Don't go.
My poor grandson.
Brother Yue Sheng, don't worry. I'll surely avenge you.
Yue Sheng.
Chun Xing, have you packed the things for Zhou Ying?
Yes. -Let me check.
Give me a minute. Xiao Ou.
Young Master Pin, as you instructed...
...I prepared all her favourite things.
These are the thick clothes.
"Tea tribute"? Is this a famous tea?
Young Master Pin, if you like Zhou Ying...
...why don't you let her stay?
Let her go. She doesn't belong here.
Why are you leaving before finishing the course?
Something came up at home. I must leave.
I thought you haven't found your father yet.
How do you survive out there?
Don't worry. With what I learnt from these lessons...
...I'm sure I can make a decent living as an accountant.
Will people accept you? -Of course.
Take care. -Alright.
Zhou Ying, when will we meet again?
There are things that don't change in this world.
Fate will bring us together again.
Zhou Ying, I wish you don't have to leave too.
Don't pretend. You can't wait to see me gone.
Without me, you'll be the No. 1 here.
I've changed. -I know what you did.
You were the one who told the teacher that...
...I charged them for the homework.
I'm sorry. Back then, I really wanted to oust you.
How come you changed your mind then?
I later on realised that you are quite a nice person.
Besides...
Can you forgive me?
I've already forgiven you. In fact, I need to thank you.
If you didn't complain...
...I wouldn't become an official apprentice.
I'm glad then. -Zhou Ying.
Take this. -What is this?
This is my address.
Feel free to find me if you have any problem.
Alright.
I wish these future business owners...
...a great and wealthy future.
I need to go. Farewell.
Turn it around and dry it.
Chun Xing. -Zhou Ying.
Where's the young master? I came to say goodbye to him.
He went out early in the morning.
When will he be back? -He said he will be right back.
Alright. I'll wait for him.
Are you leaving today?
Where are you going? -Me?
I'll go to nearby places to look for my father...
...before I head to the grassland.
When I'm bored of the grassland, I'll go to the east for the sea.
I'm so envious of you. You're so free.
Why don't you join me?
That won't do.
I'll guide you. What are you afraid of?
Zhou Ying, you're not like us.
Why?
I don't know. You're just different.
Whenever I close my eyes...
...I see Yue Sheng.
But, you haven't slept for 2 days. At this rate...
Don't worry.
I won't collapse.
Else...
...no one can suppofl this family.
Xing Er has been helping out with everything.
He's much more mature now.
I hope so.
Master, Wu Pin came to mourn.
What is he doing here? How dare he come to us!
Oust him! -Go.
Let him in. -My dear!
I'd like to listen to...
...what he has to say.
Brother Yue Sheng, you know best that...
...the murderer isn't me...
...or anyone in Wu Family's household.
But, I'm very guilty.
If I didn't invite you to complete this order together...
...you wouldn't be killed.
I hereby...
...swear to you sincerely that...
...I will find the murderer and avenge you.
Please guide us...
...in identifying the murderer.
Yue Sheng.
Yue Sheng!
Young Masher Xmg Y“!
Wu Pin came and even brought...
...an elegiac couplet for Young Master Yue Sheng.
How dare he come to us! Kill him!
Wu Pin! How dare you come after killing our young master!
What nonsense are you saying?
Be careful.
Here you go. -That's a lot.
I only need a few clothes.
The young master instructed me to prepare all these for you.
Just accept it.
I feel bad enough. I can't take his things.
I'm leaving.
Don't you want to wait for him?
I waited 4 hours. I can't afford to wait any longer.
When the young master comes back, tell him that...
...I've left and that I'll always remember him.
Also, I'll remember what he said to me.
Stop! -Who are you people?
Young Master Pin, watch out! -Stop!
Young Master Pin!
Young master, someone is coming! -Run!
After them!
Young Master Pin! -Young Master Pin!
Ms. Zhou? -Are you calling me?
Yes. The master instructed me to prepare a horse carriage...
...and give you a ride.
Thank you, Young Master Pin. -Do we depart now?
Let's go.
Open the door! -Open the door!
Open the door! -Hurry!
Young Master Pin.
Ms. Zhou!
You didn't see the faces of those three?
Do they have any special characteristic?
No, sir.
But, one of them called their leader "young master".
Sir, I bit their leader.
At where? -Here.
Young Masher Xmg Y“ You...
You all...
What happened? Who bit you?
It's alright. I'm fine. - Don't move. Let me see.
It's alright. -I'll get some medicine.
That's unnecessary. - Young Master Xing Yi!
The master wants to see you. -Alright.
Throw this away. -Yes.
Father, how may I help you?
After leaving our residence...
...Wu Pin was attacked in the city.
His life is hanging by a thread now.
So, he's still alive.
Are you the culprit?
Brother Yue Sheng, are you here?
I'm talking to you.
Xing Er, what are you doing? Why are you so stupid?
Why are you so stupid? - Mr. Zhao has arrived!
Shen Xing Yi.
Mr. Zhao, what brought you over?
You are guilty of injuring the innocent.
I have come to arrest you.
You got the wrong person.
We'll know after the trial.
No! -Let go!
Please stop! Let go!
Mr. Zhao, have we offended you in any way?
Mr. Shen, I'm just doing my job.
I'll pay you 10 times of what Wu Wei Wen paid you!
Shen Si Hai! If you dare to spout nonsense again...
...I'll arrest you as well!
Mr. Zhao! Our young master is innocent!
Mr. Zhao, my eldest son just got murdered!
Yet, instead of investigating the murder...
...you arrested my second son! You...
Where is justice?
Shen Xing Yi, why did you injure Wu Pin?
Mr. Zhao, I don't know what you're talking about.
You led your two servants to attack Wu Pin at Shaniu Alley.
Sir, I've been burning incense and paper money...
...for my brother at home.
I really didn't go to Shaniu Alley.
Speak. How do you explain this injury?
This one? I accidentally hurt myself...
...when I knocked the candlestick over...
...while burning incense for my brother.
Young Master Xing Yi, you are very sly.
I'm telling the truth, sir.
Mr. Zhao.
If you have the witness and evidence...
...you can convict me right away.
But, if you don't have any evidence, free me at once!
I will find the evidence.
Ms. Yong Mei!
Where are your manners?
Why are you still studying a copybook here?
What happened? -Young Master Wu Pin...
...is in a bad shape!
Brother Wu Pin? -He got beaten up.
He's quite severely injured.
When did it happen? -Today.
Ms. Yong Mei, don't go yet.
I heard of a famous physician by the surname of Dong in Luoyang.
His great grandfather was an imperial physician.
Send someone to hire him at all cost.
Alright. I'll go at once.
Father, I heard Brother Wu Pin is injured.
Don't worry. I sent someone to hire a famous physician.
I'm going to visit Wu Family now.
I'll go with you.
You can't go. -Why?
You're engaged to Wu Pin.
You can't meet your fiance before the wedding.
But... -Be a good girl.
Just wait at home if you want the best for him.
Physician Sun, is he alright?
Let's talk over here.
If the young master can survive the next few days...
...I can make him regain consciousness.
Yang.
Let Physician Sun write the prescription in the reading room.
Physician Sun, please proceed to the reading room.
My dear, the physician said that...
...Wu Pin can recover.
Didn't you hear the line before that?
That's only if he can survive the next few days.
In other words, he might die in a few days.
My dear.
Master, Master Wei Wu and Master Wei Quan came.
Brother Wei Wen. Sister Zheng. -You came.
How is he today?
The same old. -What did the physician say?
Brother Wei Wen, I heard of an old scholar in Xi'an...
...who doesn't agree to treat someone easily,..
...but is capable of bringing the dead back to life.
His surname is Sun and lives at Yangliu Hill.
Yes. -He's writing a prescription.
What did he say?
We've to leave it to god.
Brother Wei Wen, have you asked the master?
Who?
Master.
Master, Mr. Hu brought us a famous physician from Luoyang.
Invite them over. -Yes.
The master is back!
Father, how is Brother Wu Pin doing?
Father, what is the situation?
Even Physician Dong can't do anything to help.
Wu Pin will most likely die.
Father, I beg of you.
Please save him. Please think of something.
It's pointless to beg me.
You can only beg god.
How's the young master?
I thought they hired a famous physician from Luoyang.
Yes. He already took 3 sets of medicine.
Yet, he's still unconscious.
It's been one whole day.
I'll take a look.
Go.
Young Master Pin.
Young Master Pin, it's me, Zhou Ying.
I came to see you.
Wake up.
Young Master Pin.
God, I beg of you.
Please let the young master regain consciousness.
I fooled and tricked so many people.
Yet, I'm still perfectly fine.
Young Master Pin is such a good person.
How can you do this to him?
Hurry up. Let him regain consciousness.
I beg of you.
Young Master Pin.
Goddess of Mercy.
Please save Brother Wu Pin.
I don't mind exchanging my years...
...for Brother Wu Pin's life.
Goddess of Mercy, I beg of you.
The physician treating Wu Pin said that he is still alive...
...but in a critical condition.
It's most probably Shen Family's deed.
Zhao Bai Shi already arrested Shen Xing Yi.
Boss, where is the imperial commissioner...
...who came to investigate the case of the military supply?
He left Jingyang.
Did he discover anything?
I don't know. I heard he wouldn't reveal anything.
Another day has passed.
Will the young master die?
What are you saying? He's a blessed person.
He'll be fine. -But, the physician said...
...if he doesn't wake up in 3-5 days...
...he'll never regain consciousness.
Really?
Remember everything I told you.
Who are they?
They are Master Wei Shuang, his wife and Young Master Wu Yu.
Zhou Ying, you've been to many places...
...and seen many things.
Why don't you try and save the young master?
I'm thinking.
My nephew, why aren't you waking up?
Didn't they say that you'll get better in a few days?
Why are you in this state?
My nephew.
Sister Zheng.
Wu Pin. -Brother Wei Shuang.
You made your sister-in-law cry again.
Brother Wei Wen, I'm sad.
Sister Zheng, don't cry.
Let's sit over there. Come.
Come. -Go.
Xia Lian, go and get a warm towel for your mistress.
Yes. -Dong Mei.
Get a soft cushion.
Serve tea. Don't just stand there and watch.
Sister Zheng, don't cry. -Brother Wei Wen.
Don't cry. -What do you plan to do next?
Brother Wei Quan knows a very experienced physician.
I don't know if it's true. But, I told him to bring that man over.
We can only try our best now.
My poor nephew. -Enough.
Wu Yu. -Mother.
Don't go back today.
L---
Stay and accompany your uncle and aunt...
"especially your aunt who has always doted on you.
Your cousin is in such a bad shape.
You need to take care of your aunt...
...like how you take care of me and your father. Understand?
Yes, mother. -No thanks.
Brother Wei Wen, I'm afraid Wu Pin...
...won't regain consciousness so soon.
Why don't you let Wu Yu stay and let him run errands for you?
You need someone to lend you a hand at times.
No thanks. -Don't worry, Brother Wei Wen.
Wu Yu, you'll stay in the east mansion...
...to take care of your uncle and aunt.
You can run errands and help out.
Right. -Yes, father.
Brother Wei Wen, just instruct Wu Yu...
...if you need any help.
Just treat him as your own son.
Don't be shy.
Don't worry. I'm here for you. Come.
Shen Xing Yi.
We found this among the rubbish your family discarded.
How do you explain yourself now?
What's the meaning of this?
You wore this when you attacked Wu Pin.
There are over 30 men in Shen Family's household.
How do you prove that this is my clothes?
Even if it's mine, what does that prove?
Do you accuse everyone wearing black clothes...
...just because the culprits were in black?
Look at it carefully. There's Wu Pin's blood...
...and the bite mark on it.
Zhao Bai Shi, I'm so impressed.
How do you prove that this is Wu Pin's blood?
I have ways to make you confess.
Guards! Spank him!
It's just a spanking.
I won't admit it even if you behead me!
Zhao Bai Shi! Do whatever you want!
But, I won't plead guilty!
How stubborn! We shall see if you can take this!
Spank him!
Brother Wei Wen.
Tomorrow morning...
...I will pay a visit to Hu Family.
He's here. Make it fast. -Alright.
Make it fast.
Xing Er.
Father. -Come here, Xing Er.
Come here. -Father, why are you here?
Did Zhao Bai Shi have you spanked?
He had me spanked 20 times.
But, don't worry. I didn't admit anything.
He can't do anything as long as I don't plead guilty.
Xing Er.
You...
Why are you burning?
Father, is Wu Pin dead?
Xing Er, hang in there.
I'll bring you some medicine immediately.
Hang in there. -I'm fine, father.
Brother Yue Sheng is here with me.
What are you saying? -I saw Brother Yue Sheng.
He told me that he's going out for business.
Xing Er, are you delirious because of fever?
Xing Er, hang in there. It's alright. Don't be afraid.
Hang in there, alright? - Enough, Mr. Shen.
You need to leave now. -I beg of you.
Let me say a few more words to Xing Er.
I'll get into trouble if someone finds out.
Let go of me! Xing Er, hang in there!
I'll save you! Hang in there, Xing Er!
