459. I shouldn't treat you this way.Copy !req
460. I'll forget what you did.Copy !req
461. You can't read or write.Copy !req
462. Tell me, who wrote my name for you?Copy !req
463. I can't tell you.Copy !req
464. Don't be afraid. Tell me who wrote it.Copy !req
465. I'll keep your secret about the lanterns.Copy !req
466. Is it the First Mistress?Copy !req
467. Then it must be the Third Mistress.Copy !req
468. The Second Mistress? Zhuoyun?Copy !req
469. Zhuoyun?Copy !req
470. Zhuoyun.Copy !req
471. Who are you mad at now?Copy !req
472. Where did you put my flute?Copy !req
473. I didn't want it to distract you.
I took it away.Copy !req
474. Who gave it to you?Copy !req
475. It belonged to my father.Copy !req
476. Sorry for being suspicious.Copy !req
477. I thought it was one of the boys
at university.Copy !req
478. Where is it? Give it back.Copy !req
479. I had it burnt.Copy !req
480. Burnt?Copy !req
481. It's only a flute.Copy !req
482. I'll tell them to buy
you several good ones.Copy !req
483. I hate nothing more than people
throwing tantrums.Copy !req
484. Why not go to Zhuoyun?Copy !req
485. She always has a smile on.Copy !req
486. I'm going!Copy !req
487. Light the lanterns at the second house!Copy !req
488. Fourth sister!Copy !req
489. Yan'er said you weren't well.Copy !req
490. Are you really sick, or just angry?Copy !req
491. What brought you here?Copy !req
492. Get up and give me a haircut.Copy !req
493. Haircut? I don't know how.Copy !req
494. Ask the other sisters.Copy !req
495. How can they?Copy !req
496. You're better. You went to university.Copy !req
497. I want you to cut my hair.Copy !req
498. Get up! Come!Copy !req
499. Why do you suddenly want a haircut?Copy !req
500. Didn't the Master spend the night
with me last night?Copy !req
501. I told him I was getting old.Copy !req
502. Guess what he said?Copy !req
503. He said I'd look younger with short hair.Copy !req
504. Since he said that,Copy !req
505. I must cut my hair.Copy !req
506. Go ahead, cut!Copy !req
507. I've never done this before.
You may get hurt.Copy !req
508. Don't worry. Go ahead.Copy !req
509. Alright...Copy !req
510. My ear!Copy !req
511. My ear!Copy !req
512. My ear!Copy !req
513. What happened, Second Mistress?Copy !req
514. My ear!Copy !req
515. My ear!Copy !req
516. Go away!Copy !req
517. What are you looking at? Fetch a doctor!Copy !req
518. Third sister, what's so funny?Copy !req
519. If I hated someone,
I'd cut her ear off too.Copy !req
520. I'd cut all of it off.Copy !req
521. You think I did it deliberately?Copy !req
522. Who knows?Copy !req
523. Zhuoyun has a Buddha's face
and a scorpion's heart.Copy !req
524. She's the true wicked one.Copy !req
525. You think I'm against you.Copy !req
526. She's the one I hate most.Copy !req
527. I'm no match for her.Copy !req
528. Perhaps you can do better.Copy !req
529. I thought so when I first saw you.Copy !req
530. Do you know about our giving birth?Copy !req
531. We both became pregnant
about the same time.Copy !req
532. When I was three months along...Copy !req
533. she slepped some medicine into my food.Copy !req
534. I was lucky and didn't have a miscarriage.Copy !req
535. When we were due,Copy !req
536. she wanted to have her baby first...Copy !req
537. and ordered expensive injections
to speed up the delivery.Copy !req
538. She was in great pain.Copy !req
539. In the end, I was lucky...Copy !req
540. and had my boy, Feilan.Copy !req
541. She only had a cheap little girl...Copy !req
542. born three hours after my son.Copy !req
543. You're new here and the Master
isn't tired of you yet.Copy !req
544. But if you don't give him a son...Copy !req
545. there will be hard times ahead.Copy !req
546. You may be a student and
I'm only an opera singer.Copy !req
547. But our fate is the same.Copy !req
548. What happened?Copy !req
549. The Master spent only one night with me...Copy !req
550. and fourth sister already
hates me so much.Copy !req
551. She almost killed me.Copy !req
552. Doctor Gao said the scissors
just missed my artery.Copy !req
553. That serious?Copy !req
554. It's your fault.
You said I'd look younger with a haircut.Copy !req
555. That gave her the idea.Copy !req
556. You sisters shouldn't be like this.Copy !req
557. Alright.
I'll stay with you for a few nights.Copy !req
558. Light the lanterns at the second house!Copy !req
559. The Fourth Mistress is here.Copy !req
560. Fourth sister, you've come.Copy !req
561. Second sister!Copy !req
562. Do sit down.Copy !req
563. How are you doing?Copy !req
564. Doctor Gao said it wasn't serious.Copy !req
565. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean it to happen.Copy !req
566. Who said you did?Copy !req
567. We sisters are friends.Copy !req
568. Don't think about it.Copy !req
569. It's funny. I should thank you.Copy !req
570. If not for you...Copy !req
571. the Master wouldn't have
stayed with me.Copy !req
572. Softer, Aunt Cao.Copy !req
573. If you're alright, I'll be going.Copy !req
574. I won't see you to the door.Copy !req
575. Yan'er!Copy !req
576. Yan'er!Copy !req
577. What is it, Fourth Mistress?Copy !req
578. Where were you?Copy !req
579. Come massage my feet.Copy !req
580. I don't know how.Copy !req
581. You do as I say.Copy !req
582. Softer.Copy !req
583. I said softer.Copy !req
584. I said I didn't know how.Copy !req
585. If you're able, get Aunt Cao to come.Copy !req
586. Leave it!Copy !req
587. "If I'm able"...
You just wait and see what I can do!Copy !req
588. She's really pregnant?Copy !req
589. Yes,Copy !req
590. Fourth Mistress hasn't been
looking well lately.Copy !req
591. Congratulations, Master.
You'll have another son.Copy !req
592. According to custom, from today...Copy !req
593. the lanterns in this house...Copy !req
594. will be lit day and night.Copy !req
595. Yes, day and night.
As a symbol of longevity.Copy !req
596. Go light the lanterns!Copy !req
597. Fourth Mistress,
drink this lotus seed soup.Copy !req
598. Aunt Cao,Copy !req
599. someone said I couldn't
get you to serve me.Copy !req
600. Who said this about our Fourth Mistress?Copy !req
601. You're very precious to us now.Copy !req
602. Call me anytime and I'll come.Copy !req
603. First Mistress, I'm bringing the
Fourth Mistress her food.Copy !req
604. Big sister,Copy !req
605. did you do this when you were
pregnant with master Feipu?Copy !req
606. Why don't you eat?Copy !req
607. Third sister is truly a singer.Copy !req
608. Even her laughter sounds like music.Copy !req
609. But that's nothing.Copy !req
610. If fourth sister has a son...Copy !req
611. someone will be very unhappy.Copy !req
612. All of this food can't shut
both of you up!Copy !req
613. Master asks the Second Mistress...Copy !req
614. to go to the fourth house after lunch.Copy !req
615. Why?Copy !req
616. The Fourth Mistress isn't feeling well.Copy !req
617. Master wants you to give
her a back massage.Copy !req
618. She knows I can massage?Copy !req
619. Of course the master told her.Copy !req
620. It's the Master's idea?Copy !req
621. It's his order.Copy !req
622. Second sister, you must go.Copy !req
623. Show us how you take good
care of the Master.Copy !req
624. If fourth sister feels better,Copy !req
625. won't the Master be pleased?Copy !req
626. Feeling better?Copy !req
627. Much better.Copy !req
628. Softer, second sister.Copy !req
629. Right, just like this.Copy !req
630. It can't be! Are you sure it's blood?Copy !req
631. It looks like it.Copy !req
632. Yan'er!Copy !req
633. Yes, Fourth Mistress.Copy !req
634. What are you up to?Copy !req
635. Have you seen my white pants?Copy !req
636. I washed them.Copy !req
637. Washed them?Copy !req
638. "How happily they dance
and sing in the sky!"Copy !req
639. "Lush are the mountain flowers
and the trees high and low!"Copy !req
640. "Locked in a golden cage I pine away."Copy !req
641. "Let me return to the forest to
sing my carefree songs!"Copy !req
642. Good, the next poem.Copy !req

crows cry under the frosty sky."Copy !req

maples sadly lie."Copy !req

to visit the Fourth Mistress.Copy !req
656. Yes, Master.Copy !req
657. Doctor Gao has finished?Copy !req
658. Finished.Copy !req
659. Thank you, doctor.Copy !req
660. Where is the Master? I must speak to him.Copy !req
661. Please follow me.Copy !req

680. Go, leave us alone.Copy !req
681. Is anything wrong with Songlian?Copy !req
682. Master,
the Fourth Mistress isn't pregnant.Copy !req
683. What? Is it true?Copy !req
684. I checked carefully.Copy !req
685. She isn't pregnant.Copy !req
686. You're trying to cheat me?Copy !req
687. Tell me, why did you lie?Copy !req
688. Don't you know we've rules in this family?Copy !req
689. Rules we've been following...Copy !req
690. for many generations!Copy !req
691. How dare you!Copy !req
692. - Cover the lanterns!
- What did you say, Master?Copy !req
693. Cover the lanterns!Copy !req
694. Cover the lanterns!Copy !req
695. Yan'er...Copy !req
696. Why did Doctor Gao come all of a sudden?Copy !req
697. Where are my white pants?Copy !req
698. I'll fetch them.Copy !req
699. A servant secretly
lighting lanterns in her room!Copy !req
700. Who let you put lanterns here?Copy !req
701. Who do you think you are?Copy !req
702. Have you no respect for the mistresses?Copy !req
703. Does this family have rules or not?Copy !req
704. Stop making a scene!Copy !req
705. Don't act like one of the servants.Copy !req
706. No, this is one of your rules.Copy !req
707. Rules are rules,Copy !req
708. but everyone can make mistakes.Copy !req
709. Let me remind you that they've
just covered your lanterns.Copy !req
710. But I am still a mistress.Copy !req
711. Mistresses are mistresses!
Maids are maids!Copy !req
712. Big sister, the Master is away...Copy !req
713. In front of everyone here...Copy !req
714. you be the judge.Copy !req
715. I broke a rule and they
covered my lanterns.Copy !req
716. What happens if a servant breaks the rule?Copy !req
717. Follow the old custom!Copy !req
718. The First Mistress said...Copy !req
719. you could get up if you apologized.Copy !req
720. Why do this?Copy !req
721. Have her drink this hot ginger tea.Copy !req
722. It'll make her sweat.Copy !req
723. Has the doctor come?Copy !req
724. He came several times
but she isn't improving.Copy !req
725. The Master's back.Copy !req
726. Said to send her to the hospital.Copy !req
727. Who could tell the Fourth Mistress
would be so vicious?Copy !req
728. Yan'er shouldn't have made her angry.Copy !req
729. - Housekeeper.
- Yes, Master.Copy !req
730. Get her good medicine.
Never mind the money.Copy !req
731. Or people will say we let our servant die.Copy !req
732. Yes, Master.Copy !req
733. Light the lanterns at the second house!Copy !req
734. Fourth sister,
what are you doing here so early?Copy !req
735. I've come to listen to third sister sing.Copy !req
736. You sing so well.Copy !req
737. Good or bad, it's all playacting.Copy !req
738. If you play well, you fool the others.Copy !req
739. If you play badly,
you can only fool yourself.Copy !req
740. If you can't even fool yourself,Copy !req
741. you can fool the ghosts.Copy !req
742. People breathe, ghosts cannot.
That's the only difference.Copy !req
743. People are ghosts, and ghosts are people.Copy !req
744. Don't mind me for saying this...Copy !req
745. but you shouldn't have made
such a fuss about Yan'er.Copy !req
746. She's only dreaming of
becoming a mistress.Copy !req
747. She's only scapegoat.
I was after someone else.Copy !req
748. Yes, she's only a maid.Copy !req
749. Someone is behind her.Copy !req
750. Look how pleased Zhuoyun was last night.Copy !req
751. She thinks she's so smart.
I'll take care of her soon!Copy !req
752. Light the lanterns, blow out the lanterns,
cover the lanterns.Copy !req
753. What do I care?Copy !req
754. What do people amount to in this house?Copy !req
755. They're like dogs, cats or rats.Copy !req
756. But certainly not people.Copy !req
757. Isn't it better to hang
yourself in that room?Copy !req
758. Don't talk about dying.Copy !req
759. Why think about what people are like?
Just go on living.Copy !req
760. Don't be so unhappy.Copy !req
761. Look at me. I always keep myself amused.Copy !req
762. Of course you're happy.Copy !req
763. You've got Doctor Gao.Copy !req
764. What do you mean by that?Copy !req
765. Nothing.Copy !req
766. I should thank him for coming to see me.Copy !req
767. Don't joke about this.Copy !req
768. If you tell anyone,Copy !req
769. you'll have me to deal with.Copy !req
770. To be honest, I'm meeting him soon.Copy !req
771. What can they do to me?Copy !req
772. Fourth Mistress...Copy !req
773. You frightened me.Copy !req
774. I thought nobody was here.Copy !req
775. Master said I'd be your maid from now on.Copy !req
776. I may be old, but I'm experienced.Copy !req
777. Not like those young girls.Copy !req
778. Get me some wine.Copy !req
779. What? I didn't hear you.Copy !req
780. Bring me some wine. Today's my brithday.Copy !req
781. Your birthday?Copy !req
782. How old are you?Copy !req
783. Twenty.Copy !req
784. Why didn't you say so earlier?Copy !req
785. I'll get the wine.Copy !req
786. The wine is here.Copy !req
787. Why are you looking at me that way?Copy !req
788. Yan'er is dead.Copy !req
789. She died in the hospital.Copy !req
790. When?Copy !req
791. I don't know.Copy !req
792. They said she died calling your name.Copy !req
793. Why? Did she think I killed her?Copy !req
794. I'm only repeating what they said.Copy !req
795. She can't blame you. It's her destiny.Copy !req
796. Where is she now?Copy !req
797. Her family took the body
back to the village.Copy !req
798. They were all crying. It was very sad.Copy !req
799. Why cry?Copy !req
800. It's better dead than alive and suffering.Copy !req
801. She's lucky to have died.Copy !req
802. Fourth Mistress, stop drinking!
You're drunk!Copy !req
803. I'm happy today. It's my birthday.Copy !req
804. My twentieth birthday.Copy !req
805. Young master, you're back?Copy !req
806. Please talk to the Fourth Mistress.Copy !req
807. She's drunk!Copy !req
808. You're back, young master.Copy !req
809. Why are you drinking?Copy !req
810. Sit down.Copy !req
811. I'm celebrating my birthday.Copy !req
812. Have a drink. Congratulate me.Copy !req
813. Alright, I'll have some.Copy !req
814. May you live to be 99.Copy !req
815. Nonsense! I don't want to live that long.Copy !req
816. Save such wishes for your father.Copy !req
817. I heard what happened.Copy !req
818. You're so foolish.Copy !req
819. How long could you lie
about being pregnant?Copy !req
820. Foolish? I'm not foolish.Copy !req
821. I had it planned. At first it was a lie.Copy !req
822. But if the Master stayed with me,Copy !req
823. soon it would be true.Copy !req
824. I was planning this,
but they were plotting against me.Copy !req
825. Everyone is plotting against each other.Copy !req
826. What is the meaning of all this?Copy !req
827. This is from Yunnan.Copy !req
828. Take it as your birthday gift.Copy !req
829. Only women give this to men.Copy !req
830. Not the other way around.Copy !req
831. Don't want it? Never mind.
Someone gave it to me.Copy !req
832. Hypocrite! Which woman gave it to you?Copy !req
833. If I take it, won't my hands be soiled?Copy !req
834. I was just fooling. Wasn't really
going to let you have it.Copy !req
835. Fooling? I'm used to being fooled.Copy !req
836. Everyone is fooling me.Copy !req
837. And now you?Copy !req
838. Get out! Get out of here!Copy !req
839. Feipu!Copy !req
840. I'm going.Copy !req
841. Master! Master!Copy !req
842. Fourth Mistress, please stop!Copy !req
843. Why is she drinking?Copy !req
844. She wants to drink.Copy !req
845. Ask the first Mistress for
medicine to sober her up!Copy !req
846. Don't go to that old witch!Copy !req
847. See how crazy you look!Copy !req
848. People will laugh!Copy !req
849. What is there to laugh at?Copy !req
850. The Master likes you.Copy !req
851. Meishan has gone to meet
her good-looking doctor.Copy !req
852. What do I have? I've nothing! Nothing!Copy !req
853. Where is Meishan?Copy !req
854. She's meeting the good-looking doctor.Copy !req
855. What do I have? Nothing!Copy !req
856. When did the Third Mistress go out?Copy !req
857. I don't know.Copy !req
858. What am I afraid of? Nothing!Copy !req
859. Big sister!Copy !req
860. The medicine is here. Make her drink it.Copy !req
861. I won't! I'm not drunk!Copy !req

turned the house upside down!Copy !req
868. Fourth sister, are you sober now?Copy !req
869. I'm glad you told me yesterday.Copy !req
870. Or there would be such a scandal!Copy !req
871. It's cold here. Go back to your room.Copy !req
872. What happened?Copy !req
873. The Third Mistress and Doctor Gao
were in a hotel in town.Copy !req
874. When the Second Mistress
had the door opened...Copy !req
875. they were still in bed.Copy !req
876. Such sin!Copy !req
877. Did the Second Mistress say I told her?Copy !req
878. You told her when you
were drunk yesterday.Copy !req
879. I was so shocked.Copy !req
880. I said it?Copy !req
881. You did.Copy !req
882. I wondered why you told her.Copy !req
883. Is it that you hate the doctor?Copy !req
884. You drank a lot yesterday.
You can't remember.Copy !req
885. What will happen to the Third sister?Copy !req
886. They've gone to fetch the Master.Copy !req
