English transcript reference

Qingyi, Minxian isn't home.

I know.

What did you say to her yesterday?

I said some very harsh things.

Today she's gone. Now everyone is asking about you.

You think I did it too?

I don't think so. But others will.

Because a lot of people heard yesterday.

Right. You were harsh to her yesterday, and today she's gone.

That's too fast. Someone wants to frame me.

Do you know who?

I'm thinking.

First tell me, will Minxian be all right?

I don't know. But this came too fast — I don't believe she's really dead.

Then who will you go to?

Mulan. She must know something.

You're going alone again?

She wants everyone to look at me, so I'll go and look at her.

Qingyi, stop saying frightening things.

I won't. I'll only ask her where Minxian is.

Qingyi found a wedding dress. It's Huo Minxian's, and it's covered in blood.

Huo Minxian is missing, yet this wedding dress is here with you.

You recognized it.

Yesterday I threatened her in front of everyone, and today she disappears. You want everyone to suspect me.

That's only natural. You said those words yourself, and everyone heard them.

Did you arrange the dress? Did you spread the news too?

They only saw what I wanted them to see.

Is the blood real?

The blood is real. Huo Minxian is still alive.

You're using a living person to do this.

You brought steward Li to Nancheng, using a living person to come after me too.

Where is steward Li?

He won't be saying anything anymore.

You did something to him too?

He knew too much, and did too many bad things for the Huo family.

You've finally stopped pretending to be Fang Mulan.

You can go tell the Huo family that I am Ren Susu.

You think I don't dare?

Go ahead and say it. Then everyone will ask why you first threatened Huo Minxian, and then made her disappear.

You put your identity and my suspicion together.

If you reveal my secret, you'll be in more danger yourself.

How much of what you told me before was actually true?

When you're willing to believe, come ask me again.

Qingyi, the Huo family's supplier suddenly won't give us the planes.

None of the five?

Not one. School opens tomorrow — how can we manage with no planes?

The planes are still on the ship. I know whose ship it is.

You have a way?

I once saved that man's life. He wanted to give the planes to me anyway.

Don't tie your marriage and the Huo family together again for my sake.

My marriage is my own affair. But the flight school affects many people.

You plan to give the planes to the flight school?

I got them ready long ago.

Mulan heard. She's also waiting for these five planes, because she has her own plan for the day the flight school opens.

Qingyi, give the planes to Qingyu.

You care this much about my brother?

I'm his fiancée. His success is my success too.

That sounds nice. What you really care about is the opening day, isn't it?

How much do you know?

I know Huo Minxian isn't dead.

I also know you need me to marry her, and need the five planes to appear on time.

You want to use the planes to threaten me?

You taught me. Keep the most important thing in your own hands.

What are your conditions?

Come find me on the ship.

Five planes. I'll pay a higher price if needed — I'll buy them all.

Not for sale.

You called me here just to say "not for sale"?

I want to hear you beg me.

Fine. Qingyi, I beg you, give the planes to Qingyu.

That's not enough.

What else do you want?

Kneel and beg me.

All right.

For Qingyu, you'd throw away your face?

The flight school can let many people learn to fly.

Qingyu spent so much time on it, and suffered so many injuries.

My face isn't as important as it is.

You're willing to kneel, but not willing to say one true word to me.

Which one do you want to hear?

Three years ago, why did you leave without saying goodbye? Why did Huo Mingxi die? What did you come back to do?

Give the planes to Qingyu, and I'll tell you the truth about three years ago.

You're trading with me again.

You use the planes to make me kneel — that's trading too.

I want to see you lose for once.

Now I concede. Why are you still not happy?

Because every time you tell the truth, you first take something of mine.

So you want the truth for free?

I want to know whether a single word we said three years ago was true.

There was. But right now you won't believe it.

Go. I'm not giving you the planes.

Look at the sky! One, two... five planes!

Five planes flew over the flight school. Qingyu can finally open the school.

Qingyi, you delivered the planes after all.

This was always a gift for you.

Then why did you make Mulan come beg you?

I wanted to see how far she'd go for you.

She really was willing to kneel. Did that make you happy?

No. The moment she bowed her head, I wanted her to stand back up.

You want her to lose, but you don't want to see her hurt.

She's the same. She made everyone suspect me, yet insisted the planes help you open the school.

So who won?

The planes arrived, the flight school won. Neither of us won.

She promised to tell you the truth about the past.

I'll make her tell it. But next time, I won't use planes, and I won't make her kneel.

The planes rest at the flight school.

Mulan looks at them, knowing the plan can continue.

Qingyi looks at her, knowing the trade between them isn't over yet.
