Flourished Peony (2025) s01e16 Episode Script

I was only 18 when my husband died.
Since then, I never remarried.
Over the years, I've maintained a fleet, doing trade all over the place.
I've been to foreign places and heard plenty of idle talk.
If it weren't for a pair of eyes that can distinguish truth from fallacy and not fear unconventional judgment,
I wouldn't have survived to this day.
In this world, a woman's life is truly not easy.
We should help and understand each other.
What do you think?
Would you consider becoming my niece-in-law?
Even if you spend all his money and make him work every day, I would be happy to see it.
A woman's destiny is marriage.
Without a family or status, one will ultimately be taken advantage of.
If so, why haven't you remarried?
Because I'm well-off enough to live well on my own
and I'm even able to help many handsome young men.
If you're strong and wealthy enough, naturally, you won't need to depend on anyone.
Otherwise, you still need to find someone worthy of entrusting your life to.
I see.
I still have to work hard on my own.
Mu Dan, my nephew is handsome and clever.
Do you not feel anything for him?
Then tell me, what kind of man do you fancy?
- I think…
- Don't tell me you'll never marry.
I won't believe that.
I think if one day, I find myself unexpectedly in a dire situation
and someone descends from the sky clothed in rosy clouds to my side,
to help me dispel the gloom, perhaps, I would be touched.
But it's not that I need him to rescue me.
Instead I hope this person can understand me better than myself.
Even if I don't say a word, he knows all my likes, dislikes, decisions, and dreams.
No matter what desperate situation I fall into, he can face it with me together.
My nephew is indeed quite far from your expectations.
I also know that this kind of mutual understanding and affection is rare in this world.
So I don't expect it to happen.
[Jiang Residence]
I've clearly rejected Madam Feng and she accepted it.
Madam Feng is persistent. She retreats to advance again.
She's currently coming up with a new plan, my young master wishes to discuss strategies to present a united front.
He is inside.
That's an odd arrangement for a strategy discussion.
Jiang Chang Yang.
If we're just discussing things, why close the door?
Miss He, Young Master said it must be kept confidential.
Jiang Chang Yang, if we're discussing strategies, why have you arranged the room like this?
There's no need for such a big fuss, right?
He Wei Fang!
Jiang Chang Yang?
He Wei Fang!
Don't scare me, Jiang Chang Yang.
He Weifang.
What? What are you doing?
- What happened?
- Let me down, quickly.
- How should I get you down?
- Over over there.
- Pull, pull it.
- This one?
Jiang Chang Yang.
What is all this?
He Wei Fang. Isn't this what you told my aunt?
Your beloved one needs to descend from the heavens in darkness, clothed in rosy clouds.
Are you happy now?
But I was lying.
- What about Chuan Yu then?
- Don't mention that traitor to me.
- What's going on here?
- He Wei Fang, untie me first.
Madam Feng.
Madam Feng, even if Jiang Chang Yang meets all the requirements I've set, it's impossible for me to like him.
Just let us out.
Mu Dan, I've already thoroughly reformed Sui Zhi to meet the standards of your beloved.
I'll give you four hours to listen to his confession.
If you still don't change your mind, I won't force you.
After all, I've prepared both the betrothal gifts and apology gifts.
Miss He, Young Master, I… I sincerely apologize to you both.
How can you be so superficial?
If they really end up married because of this, they would be thanking you.
I've indeed been superficial, Madam.
Sui Zhi, be sure to correct your attitude and behave well.
Otherwise, on returning, you'll continue to kneel before the tablet and face the whip again.
Traitor.
Chuan Yu really is a traitor.
You wanted to face desperate circumstances with another person, right?
So Auntie tried to satisfy you.
Untie me.
With your level of ability, you can't compete with my aunt.
I really overestimated you.
Compensate me.
You can't say that.
I'm already working hard to reject you.
And now, you want to kick down the ladder?
Have you thought about the consequences?
Your auntie hasn't left yet.
Since Young Master Jiang is so fond of me, having no way to repay,
- shall we fulfill Aunt's wish—
- Fine, fine, no compensation.
You little scoundrel. One day a lump of gold will smash you to death.
Thank you for your kind words.
What's all this clanging and banging?
You told Auntie that your beloved needs to understand all your likes, dislikes, and decisions.
She tortured me severely and forced it out of me. What could I do?
How do you know I like to drink osmanthus wine?
[Likes to drink osmanthus wine]
And that I like to eat dried fish?
[Likes to eat dried fish]
You've invited me to eat it several times. My taste buds haven't gone bad.
My foot is eight and a half inches long.
You know this too?
I've never seen anyone with feet bigger than yours. Naturally, it's hard to forget.
Your aunt probably wants us to share our preferences.
I never expected Jiang Sui Zhi to actually be afraid of cockroaches.
[Afraid of cockroaches]
That's not true. She's making it up.
Then do you know that cockroaches are edible?
Once we're out, I'll cook you a full insect feast.
If you have the guts, eat it all.
Let me see. What else would Jiang Changyang be afraid of?
- Don't look.
- Didn't you say she made it up?
If so, what are you afraid of? Why pull them down? Let me see.
Why are you afraid? I want to see what's written.
You can't look.
Jiang Chang Yang wet the bed when he was little.
♫ If the heart were like frost, how much of the past would it freeze? ♫
♫ Falling into your gaze, melting and flowing with you ♫
♫ If love were like frost, can these countless miles of stormy weather ♫
♫ see clear skies again? ♫
[Bright Energy Dispels Doubt and Increases Luck]
I'm full.
Sit down.
Last night's atmosphere was so good, but how come Mu Dan hasn't agreed to you yet?
She's different from other women. She's not interested in those flashy ornaments.
Auntie, please don't make things worse. Just let us be.
I think you're just too stubborn.
The people who surround you on a daily basis are women from pleasure places.
Mu Dan is capable and intelligent. Of course, she's different from them.
You ought to be more tolerant and gentle, behave better.
What? Are you expecting her to please you?
Before you came, Auntie, she was trying to please me because of my lechery.
I think your previous actions are exactly the reason
why she doesn't dare to talk to you about private relationship matters.
- Madam.
- What is the traitor doing here this early in the morning?
Did Mu Dan accept the apology gift?
She's so stingy. She wouldn't say no to free money.
Yes, Miss He has accepted the items. She has asked me to pass on her regards.
Did she say anything else?
When I was there, Miss He's shop seemed to be in some kind of trouble.
She hurried out and said nothing else.
Trouble?
That's good. That's the perfect opportunity for you to show your merit.
Indeed, a woman's heart is the most venomous.
Fellow residents, neighbors, you must stand up for me!
Floral Haven's shopkeeper,
she brings tough luck to husbands, yet she still comes out to do business in public.
You've caused my husband to be sick and bedridden! You must compensate for my husband!
Such nonsense could be charged with the crime of slander! That's punishable by caning!
It's not nonsense! Ever since I bought this incense powder from Floral Haven,
every time I get close to my husband, he gets dizzy and disoriented.
His limbs go weak. It's very strange!
Later, after consulting a geomancer, I came to know that the incense powder from Floral Haven
is tainted with malevolent energy and has overcome my husband!
[Floral Haven]
Why would you speak of others in such a way?
Your husband has fallen ill, instead of seeking a doctor, you found a practitioner of arcane arts.
Do you have a guilty conscience? Shall I have a doctor visit your home and take a look?
I-I, of course, I sought out a doctor first.
But he couldn't discern any issue, that's why I turned to a geomancer!
Geomancer, can you figure out what exactly is the problem with her?
This woman is destined to the Seven Killings, bringing calamity and malevolence.
And recently she's even been possessed by evil spirits,
drawing on the fortune and prosperity of her neighbors to increase her own wealth.
She's actually a demon!
- And to think we trusted her so much.
- It's all trickery.
Malicious slander! You're spreading rumors and defamation!
I'll make you pay for your wild claims!
Da Fu, don't fall for his trickery. If we injure them, it would be our fault instead.
But we can't let them make a scene.
I advise the shopkeeper to quickly kneel down and let me expel the evil spirit within you.
Otherwise, you'll bring harm to all around. That's truly a sinful act.
Fine, in my entire life, I've indeed never encountered any evil spirits.
I'll stand right here and see what this evil spirit you speak of looks like.
Let me reveal my true form then. Come on!
This demon is using your body to absorb others' fortunes.
It harms others, it's normal for you to be unaware.
I will now perform a ritual to drive out the demon within you.
You'll naturally thank me for it. Come on.
[Floral Haven]
- It's smoking.
- Reveal your true form immediately!
The smoke in your hand must be caused by the flint you smeared in advance, right?
Do you dare show your hand to everyone?
With death knocking at your door, you still spout bewitching nonsense.
Evil spirit, reveal your true form immediately! Break.
Broken! It's broken!
What on earth is this?
- Ren! Ren!
- Ren. What happened?
- What's wrong?
- Quickly save him!
- How come he's vomiting blood?
Everyone, come take a look quickly. This demon is too vicious.
In order to remain in her physical body, she uses her helper to withstand my magic.
Shopkeeper, your murderous aura is strong. If you come any closer, he won't live much longer.
Drop the act. What kind of drug did you give my assistant?
I'm telling you, if anything happens to him, I won't let you off!
- Slandering!
- Da Fu, find a doctor. Go, quickly.
You've cursed my husband with illness and now you've struck down your own assistant.
I'm afraid it won't be many days before all the people in Floral Haven are cursed to death by you!
Quickly, carry him away!
- What are you doing? Don't touch him!
- Don't touch him!
By obstructing like this, you're going to cost his life!
- Right.
- Saving him is what's important.
- Geomancer, save me!
- Get back.
Geomancer, save me! Geomancer.
Ever since I came to Floral Haven, my health has declined day by day.
Just now, when the bronze mirror shattered, as if in a trance,
I saw a demon attacking me, then I lost consciousness.
Geomancer, you must save me! Geomancer, take me with you!
Rest assured, I will definitely save you. Come on, take him away.
Did you hear that? You can't come to Floral Haven! Stay away!
- I didn't lie.
- A life is at stake.
I'll let you go for now today. If the shopkeeper still has a conscience,
please close your shop. Don't further torment the neighbors!
Evil spirit.
My Lady, you can't seem to get pregnant. Could it be because our shop is right next to this Floral Haven?
Let's leave now. Don't get contaminated by the evil aura.
- Let's go.
- Hurry up.
♫ The world builds high walls around me ♫
♫ People say I overestimate myself ♫
♫ Born of humble, insignificant, with nowhere to lean on ♫
Madam, I don't believe a single word of what the Geomancer said.
I will always follow you.
Mu Dan, what are we going to do?
♫ Ah, don't sigh over the fact fate is unpredictable ♫
Alright then. Since the flower guild looks down on women doing business so much,
don't blame us for following suit.
Mother, this jade bracelet is so pretty. It suits me very well.
If you like it, let's buy it.
You're the best, Mother.
Lian'er.
I actually bought a special peony plant to show you, Auntie.
Unfortunately, you came too late and the blooming season is over.
So I can only find another way to show filial respect.
This color isn't pretty. It's too old-fashioned.
If you really wanted to show respect, after eating breakfast, you should've gone to save the beauty.
Shopkeeper, none of your jingling hairpins can match my auntie's beauty.
- Bring out the best if there's any better.
- Yes.
Why are you still using this? Haven't you heard?
The Floral Haven shopkeeper is fated with an evil presence. It led to the death of three husbands.
And now she's even possessed by evil spirits. The things she sells are all tainted with evil aura.
If used for too long, at the least, it can lead to marital discord.
At worst, it can bring about misfortune and serious sickness.
Is that true? You can't just talk nonsense.
It's absolutely true. The renowned geomancer Master Zhang has just gone there to exorcise evil.
But the demon was too powerful. A worker from Floral Haven vomited blood on the spot.
That's unlucky.
Gullibly believing in ignorant words, spreading rumors and damaging reputations,
such behavior doesn't befit a noble's household.
We're just chatting privately. It's nothing serious.
I didn't know the Floral Envoy was here. We apologize for disturbing you.
We'll leave right away. Let's go.
Using such means against a woman, it's really despicable.
The rumors are getting worse.
This is a good opportunity. What are you waiting for?
If she can't handle it, she'll come to me. Why should I be so eager?
It's as if I don't believe in her abilities.
Whether she seeks you out is her decision.
But whether or not to take the initiative to help reveals your intentions.
I thought you wanted to show your respect to me.
- Go on.
- Okay, okay.
I'll send Chuan Yu to ask around, alright?
You made the rule. Knock before entering.
You encountered such slander. Not only is your complexion usual, but it's even cheerful.
Could you really be a demon?
This shows that Floral Haven's business is good, obstructing others' path to wealth. Such things are inevitable.
If I get upset about it, I'm giving the rumormongers an advantage.
My aunt really should see this heartless and unfeeling manner of yours.
She forced me to help. Otherwise, I wouldn't bother with this trivial matter.
Yes, yes, I know. The Floral Envoy is busy with noble matters.
If not for being lazy and gluttonous, how would you deign to visit me?
I will keep this favor on Madam Feng's account.
Has the sly flower merchant thought of a way to solve the issue?
I've already set up the stage. Now, all that's missing is someone like you,
a famous actor capable of bewitching people's hearts.
I should have named you Jiang the Bold.
You dare to have the grand Floral Envoy be your actor.
You're acting every day anyway. It won't matter this one time.
Besides, my money is your money, after all.
Speak up, what's your plan?
If the evil spirits can possess someone, they can be exorcised.
Since the other side can bribe a geomancer, why can't I?
Besides Young Master Jiang, I'll also invite another person with upright reputation to take action.
At that time, we'll attack from both sides, ensuring there'll be no concerns.
Who else do you plan to get?
[Cao's Flower Shop]
These are all recently acquired goods.
Young Master Jiang, why didn't you say anything in advance, then I could've cleared out other guests?
Please, browse away.
Young Master Jiang. If there's anything you fancy, I'll immediately send someone to deliver it to your mansion.
- Brother Jiang.
- Brother Jiang.
- Young Master!
- Brother Jiang!
- Young Master.
- What are you waiting for? Get a doctor!
- Alright.
- Young Master, Young Master!
[Floral Haven]
What happened to the Floral Envoy?
Jiang Residence had just bought herbaceous peonies from Floral Haven,
and my lord started coughing up blood and getting weak today. It must be your doing!
Geomancer, hurry and expel the evil spirits!
Alright.
Could it be karma?
I had heard that Floral Haven was haunted by a malevolent spirit.
How strange indeed. The shopkeeper doesn't have a trace of malevolent aura.
But instead, there's an increase of an auspicious aura!
- Auspicious?
- An auspicious aura.
Impossible. Then why has young master fallen gravely ill for no reason?
- Even the imperial physician was at his wit's end.
- Do not worry.
Let me calculate carefully.
Indeed, Young Master Jiang has been harmed by evil aura.
But this evil aura originates from the sachet at Young Master Jiang's waist.
- This, this isn't from our shop.
- The sachet?
- This isn't ours.
- This isn't.
Presumably, the shopkeeper often did good deeds in the past,
so this demon couldn't harbor evil aura in her body to grow stronger.
Moreover, during these past few days, there has been a great shift in the celestial patterns,
so the demon had no means to cause trouble here and has left!
Where did it go then? Allow me to calculate carefully.
This demon takes delight in the vitality of living beings and enjoys the essence of plants.
- Now it's at the largest flower shop in the eastern part of the city!
- What?
In the East Market, the guild master's Cao's flower house is the most prosperous one. Could it be…
This sachet of mine was actually bought there!
See? It all adds up!
Quickly! Da Fu, Sheng Yi, hurry, hurry.
Ladies and gentlemen, due to the matter of the evil spirit before, I feared implicating everyone
so I fasted and meditated in silence for three days to make a batch of brocade sachets.
I had the master from Kaiyuan Temple bless them.
I'll gift this item to Young Master Jiang. I hope Young Master Jiang can recover soon.
Wait a moment.
Geomancer.
I have examined it, and this item truly can
ward off evil and bring fortune.
Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen.
[Warding Off Evil, Prosperity Sachet]
Floral Haven has invited a master to rearrange the feng shui
and asked Kaiyuan Temple to bless these prosperity sachets with activating charms and blessings!
In order to compensate for the loss of the neighbors, I'm willing to give away these sachets for free!
And the remaining sachets will be sold as usual!
I also hope that everyone can support us generously.
Geomancer, is Floral Haven free from trouble now?
Yes, indeed! The shopkeeper has gone to great lengths.
This 'Hundred Fortunes Picture' matches the shopkeeper's destiny perfectly.
The shop is a place of hidden blessings, wealth and can bring prosperity to the home.
Everyone is welcome to visit in great numbers.
You'll certainly be filled with good fortune. No need to worry anymore!
Good, good!
Wait a moment!
After wearing this sachet, I feel a lot better!
And my limbs no longer feel as heavy as they did before.
How great is that? Look, look!
Thank you for gifting me this item.
Young Master Jiang, you're welcome.
From now on, all flowers for the Jiang Residence will be bought from Floral Haven.
If anyone in my mansion wishes to buy incense powder for their wives, they should also come to Floral Haven!
Yes, Sir!
Thank you, Young Master Jiang. I will surely cultivate them with care and won't disappoint you.
What a shoddy flower guild, all show and no substance.
- Get this filthy thing far away from me.
- Yes, Sir!
Come on. Everybody, prosperity sachets are available to all the neighbors!
- Here, here.
-Da Fu, quickly distribute to everyone.
- Here, take one.
If you wish to buy a sachet, you may also enter the store. Come, this way, please.
- Please, inside.
- This way, please. Take your time, there's plenty.
- Come on, come on in.
- This way, please.
Come on, please come inside.
Take it easy, there's enough for everyone. It's full of good fortune.
Come, everyone, this way, please.
- The teacher's lecture today was truly interesting.
- Indeed.
Thanks to the fragrance of the sachets, I didn't feel sleepy today.
Yes, indeed.
[Imperial Academy]
It's full of fragrance.
Thank you, Cousin, for giving my sachet in advance to those few talented scholars.
Now they've passed the exam I've also overcome the difficulty.
We're flesh and blood relatives. There's no need for such formality.
Seeing you establish yourself in Chang'an now brings me great comfort.
I've heard that the sachets from Floral Haven are particularly effective.
In the Imperial Academy entrance exam, students who wore the sachets all got selected.
I've also heard that the Floral Envoy who wore this sachet got healed of all ailments.
- And moreover, at the casino, he won for three days and nights straight.
- Is that so?
- Let's go buy one too. Let's go.
- Let's go, let's go.
[Floral Haven]
- Take care.
- Thank you.
- Hello, which one would you like? This sachet is for changing luck.
- Okay, thank you.
Miss, how much is this one?
Cao Yu Ying lifted a stone and dropped it on his own foot.
Now, not a single person goes to his shop.
This is karma. Truly satisfying.
Now the whole of Chang'an knows about our Floral Haven.
This time, a misfortune turned into a blessing. It's also something I never expected.
We've not only gained male customers, but also expanded our business into spices and sachets.
It seems that our Floral Have branch will open very soon.
- Come on, cheers.
- Come on.
Cheers!
I've consulted medical books to specially prepare this ointment.
The hair nourished by this will not only be black, but also retain a long-lasting fragrance.
You're really thoughtful.
I know that Jiang Chang Yang helped me because you spoke up for me in private.
I'm very grateful.
Madam, you are about to embark on a journey. I have specially selected three plants of rare and famous peonies.
Madam, you must keep them.
With people taking meticulous care of them, by next spring, they'll be able to bloom.
You're considerate in every aspect, lovable and sensible.
You're a great match for our Sui Zhi.
Madam, please stop joking with me.
I'm not worthy of the Floral Envoy.
I've always been reluctant for him to be some Floral Envoy.
If he has a family he wants to protect, perhaps then he can settle down, change his way of life.
Mu Dan, do you want to reconsider?
If you marry him, there'll be no in-laws to serve, and Sui Zhi ignores rules.
In the days to come, he'll surely let you do as you please.
He can't let go of his parents' old affairs.
With this knot in his heart, I'm afraid he won't get married.
Did Sui Zhi actually disclose such private matters to you?
So, you should know.
His usual grins and banter are all just a facade.
He harbors a lot of pain in his heart.
Why is that? Is it because of his parents?
When the right moment comes, he'll tell you.
Mu Dan, even if you don't like Sui Zhi,
could you, when he's lonely and in sorrow, spend more time with him?
Over the years, he has been truly too lonely.
Madam, I'm afraid I can't fulfill your request.
Actually, I deceived you.
Jiang Chang Yang doesn't like me at all.
The reason we put on this act is to make you give up pressuring him to marry.
Plus Plus, I've received money for it.
I'm sorry, Madam.
You came to nourish my hair today. Did you also get paid for that?
No, no. You've been so kind to me, Madam.
It's my way of showing respect to you, Madam. It has nothing to do with Jiang Chang Yang.
Good girl. I haven't misjudged you.
I watched him grow up.
And I wouldn't misread his thoughts.
Where is the Jade Terrace?
Madam departs today, and the flowers have been moved onto the carriage.
Young Master, Madam.
It's not a courtesy to steal gifts back.
This plant isn't easy to care for. It'll be a loss if it dies.
Better to leave it with me, and next spring, you can admire its unmatched beauty again, Auntie.
But I heard that Mu Dan cares deeply about this flower.
If you can't bear to part with it, just say so.
I can't bear to part with you, my dear aunt.
I want to use it as a hook to make you come back and see me more.
Okay, a kind person grants other people's wishes.
For the grand wedding of my beloved nephew, I'll definitely come back.
[Prince Ning Residence]
My family and I were only able to move back to Chang'an thanks to your thoughtful arrangements, Your Highness.
I'm deeply grateful.
I will certainly work diligently for you in the future.
Come on, get up and speak.
Thank you, Your Highness.
Chang'an is different from Luoyang.
The Minister of the Imperial Treasury is in charge of finances, goods, the two capitals and four markets.
This position was envied by everyone, but I overcame all objections and left it to you.
Minister Liu, do not disappoint me.
Stand up and speak. We're catching up.
Don't bother with the formalities.
Everyone knows that this position of mine is made of gold.
You have cultivated me with great effort. I must bear the weight.
Please rest assured, Your Highness.
[Only With Great Virtue Can One Take Charge]
Your Highness, before my trip, the officials of Luoyang entrusted me to bring gifts.
Please take a look, Your Highness.
This is presented by officials from the Chen family clan.
The rest is presented by officials of other surnames.
So many land deeds. Most of Luoyang's land is here, isn't it?
Those officials obtained so many fiefdoms. Did they occupy the lands of the common people?
If so, I'm afraid it may tarnish your esteemed reputation, Your Highness.
All under heaven is the king's land. Don't worry about the lowly people.
Everyone even felt this chest was too small to contain the heartfelt devotion to His Highness.
Gold and silver are trivial matters. The unity of the gentry is the most important.
His Majesty has a soft spot for flattery, wishing to fulfill the dying wish of Minister Xu.
But how can children of common families compete with the glory of great scholarly families?
Your Highness is absolutely right.
The hundreds of officials of Luoyang will certainly share your heart and virtue.
You Zhen has a good eye indeed.
Zi Shu, with your guidance, will surely become a pillar of strength soon.
That's right.
It's your first visit. I've also prepared a modest gift.
A'Ci.
Here.
This one is called a Fulin dog. It's a tribute from foreign lands.
There are only two of them in the palace of His Majesty.
I've heard that Master Liu is very fond of dogs.
This dog is my gift to you!
Thank you, Your Highness.
I shall take good care of it.
Good, good.
Stop!
Madam, we've arrived.
It's the sachets from this shop here
that will make one's official career prosperous and wealthy.
What's the matter, Madam?
Look in the mirror. Do you see the difference?
I-Isn't that the young madam?
But… I thought she died.
This matter must not be known to others.
Go to the office immediately and ask the master to come home.
- Say there are important matters to discuss at home. Hurry back to the residence.
- Yes.
Crimson-purple seedlings are expensive.
Unexpectedly, I found several wild ones today.
If I take them back and graft them together with the Lovely Pair, they'll surely produce beautiful flowers.
Help! Help!
Help me!
Help!
Help!
