Episode 14 recap: Ke Shi Zhao deliberately sowed discord between Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei.
Upon learning about the situation, Lao Tai Jun was astonished and remarked that the two of them were trying to kill her. Just as the blind elderly woman was about to reveal who the other person was, she suddenly felt extremely uncomfortable in her throat and quickly drank several sips of tea. At that moment, the elderly woman started coughing up blood and fell victim to a severe poison.
Li Yu Hu accused Xiao Qiao of poisoning her while grabbing her delicate little finger, but Xiao Qiao protested her innocence, claiming that everyone drank the tea she had served. Xiao Qiao even drank all the tea herself in one go. Ke Shi Zhao quickly made an excuse, suggesting that the elderly woman might have been poisoned before their arrival. Although Qi Tian Lei knew it was Ke Shi Zhao's trick, he had no evidence.
Although the blind elderly woman managed to save her life, her voice was permanently damaged, leaving her unable to speak. Qi Tian Lei asked Ji Jing Tang about what had happened before their arrival. Ji Jing Tang recalled that the only strange thing was a child holding the blind elderly woman's hand. After getting on the carriage, the elderly woman felt her hand itching incessantly. Qi Tian Lei investigated and discovered that the blind elderly woman's hand, along with the tea she had consumed, had indeed undergone changes. Qi Tian Lei knew that this was undoubtedly another scheme by Ke Shi Zhao. In order to deceive Ke Shi Zhao, Qi Tian Lei pretended that Xiao Qiao believed the blind elderly woman had died, and Li Yu Hu joined in the act. When Xiao Qiao entered and confirmed that the blind elderly woman had indeed passed away, she felt relieved. Afterwards, she informed Ke Shi Zhao of the two events, and Ke Shi Zhao believed that he could rest easy now that he had taken note of them.
However, Lao Tai Jun was still saddened by the death of the blind old lady, especially since she passed away in the Qi residence. Ke Shi Zhao had been comforting Xiao Qiao, assuring her that now that the person who posed the greatest threat to them had died, they could relax and have peace of mind. However, Ke Shi Zhao also wanted to deliberately sow discord between Qi Tian Lei and his wife, Xiao Qiao. He intentionally brought Yu Xiu Bo, who had a liking for Qi Tian Lei, and suggested that Qi Tian Lei and Yu Xiu Bo were a perfect match. In reality, Ke Shi Zhao could tell that Yu Xiu Bo had feelings for Qi Tian Lei. Yu Xiu Bo even inquired about Li Yu Hu's situation from Ke Shi Zhao. Ke Shi Zhao deliberately claimed that she could help Yu Xiu Bo snatch Qi Tian Lei back, but only by driving a wedge between Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei could he achieve his goal.
Li Yu Hu and Qi Tian Lei performed a game of throwing arrows in front of Lao Tai Jun. Surprisingly, Li Yu Hu hit two arrows in one throw, which delighted Lao Tai Jun, who rewarded him with her own folding fan. Li Yu Hu deliberately showed off in front of Qi Tian Lei. At that moment, Ke Shi Zhao mentioned that Yu Xiu Bo was about to arrive, and Lao Tai Jun mentioned that her grandmother and Yu Xiu Bo's grandmother were old friends. Qi Tian Lei and Yu Xiu Bo were childhood friends as well. Just then, Yu Xiu Bo entered the room, and Li Yu Hu also noticed this elegant and graceful presence of Yu Xiu Bo. Since Yu Xiu Bo's parents had passed away early, she had been taken care of by her grandmother. Lao Tai Jun couldn't help but shed tears when she saw Yu Xiu Bo, and Yu Xiu Bo deliberately brought a gift for Qi Tian Lei. The accessory she brought was a pair, and while Qi Tian Lei hesitated, Li Yu Hu actively helped resolve the situation, which made Qi Tian Lei very happy.
Ke Shi Zhao consistently praised Yu Xiu Bo, and Lao Tai Jun felt great affection for her as well. Lao Tai Jun wanted to find a suitable husband for Yu Xiu Bo, and Yu Xiu Bo stated that she would only marry someone she liked. Later, Yu Xiu Bo showcased her tea-making skills to everyone and invited Lao Tai Jun to taste her tea. Lao Tai Jun was quite satisfied, and Li Yu Hu overheard Yu Xiu Bo suggesting that Qi Tian Lei drink tea and intentionally brought up their childhood memories, which made Li Yu Hu a bit jealous.
When arranging accommodations, Xiao Qiao deliberately mentioned that Qi Tian Lei and Yu Xiu Bo had a good relationship, so she suggested that Yu Xiu Bo stay in Qi Tian Lei's courtyard. Qi Tian Lei didn't respond, but Li Yu Hu readily agreed.
We need to break free from mental constraints. Who says that one must be virtuous and well-behaved to be considered a good daughter? Intentionally making mistakes and causing mischief is not something I desire, but could the heavy rain in Yangzhou be a hint of a destined fate?
Miss Li Yu Hu from the Li family has arrived. Come and witness the special connection that I have unintentionally brought about through a series of fortunate coincidences!
