Episode 18 recap: Chun Ban Xia found a wallet, Lu Bu Ping and Li Teng Yun made up.
Lu Bu Ping was cleaning the courtyard when Du Ru Yu came and asked him to gather everyone in the front yard, saying that there was a guest coming. When Lu Bu Ping went to call Pei Lan, he found her embroidering. He guessed that she was embroidering for him and felt extremely happy. Everyone gathered in the front yard, not knowing which guest Du Ru Yu was welcoming, making it feel so ceremonial.
The door opened, and Li Teng Yun, covered in bandages and limping, came in with great emotion. Jin Rong asked Ban Xia what he was doing, and Ban Xia said he was giving his last words. But Ling asked what they were up to, and Ban Xia replied that it was end-of-life care. Li Teng Yun moved into Chun Fu like this. He couldn't forget his good feelings towards Pei Lan and proposed that Pei Lan accompany him to Xishan to appreciate the flowers. Pei Lan initially disagreed, but Li Teng Yun immediately pretended to feel dizzy.
Du Ru Yu had no choice but to instruct Pei Lan not to work today and accompany Li Teng Yun to Xishan to appreciate the flowers. Lu Bu Ping was very worried, so Pei Lan let him come along. The three of them arrived at Xishan, and Lu Bu Ping and Li Teng Yun constantly glared at each other, with a constant antagonistic atmosphere. Pei Lan was caught in the middle and felt very troubled. She originally wanted to express her attitude to Li Teng Yun, but she didn't have that kind of intention at all. However, whenever Pei Lan spoke, Li Teng Yun claimed to feel dizzy, leaving Pei Lan with no chance to speak.
In the courtyard, Ban Xia found a purse with twenty taels of silver inside. The purse was embroidered with the characters "Stinky Stinky." Jin Rong and Ling saw it and both claimed it was theirs. Ban Xia knew that neither of them was the owner of the purse, so she took it to Du Ru Yu and concluded that it must belong to the master of the front yard. After hearing Jin Rong and Ling's suggestions, Du Ru Yu believed that since they had bought the house, the money should belong to their family.
Ban Xia strongly disagreed with her idea. She found a mediator, Xiao Xiao, and made a public statement. However, Ban Xia discovered that Xiao Xiao and Jin Rong were colluding to privately divide the money, so she took back the purse and kept it herself, feeling uneasy. Li Yun and Lu Bu Ping kept arguing in Xishan, and while Pei Lan was away, Lu Bu Ping exposed that Li Teng Yun was faking his illness. Suddenly, Li Teng Yun collapsed on the ground and stopped breathing.
Lu Bu Ping was scared and quickly left to find a senior martial brother to treat Li Teng Yun. After Lu Bu Ping left, Li Teng Yun became spirited. He and Pei Lan walked in the sea of flowers, feeling incredibly relaxed and content. Pei Lan noticed that he was continuously nosebleeding and reminded him to go back and let the senior martial brother take a look.
Li Teng Yun sent Pei Lan away and sprinkled flower petals on the grass. He unpacked his bundle and took out a flower basket, preparing to set up the scene to confess his feelings to Pei Lan. Lu Bu Ping, furious at his deception, saw this and got angry. At that moment, the three ruffians that Lu Bu Ping had encountered earlier spotted him and insisted on settling the score.
Lu Bu Ping urged Li Teng Yun to quickly take Pei Lan and leave, but Li Teng Yun, being valiant, refused to leave Lu Bu Ping alone. So the two rivals joined forces and confronted the ruffians together. With their combined efforts, they managed to drive away the ruffians, but both of them got injured in the process. Through this cooperation, they developed admiration for each other's righteousness, and their antagonism towards one another ceased.
Li Teng Yun admitted that he was overestimating himself in competing with Lu Bu Ping for Pei Lan, but he couldn't accept it, especially since he was going to die soon. Guo Zhen Sheng came to diagnose Li Teng Yun's pulse and found that his pulse had stabilized and passed the critical period. Curiously, he asked Li Teng Yun what he had experienced. Lu Bu Ping said that he had been hit on the head with a stick today.
Seeing Li Teng Yun continuously nosebleeding, Guo Zhen Sheng suddenly realized that the stagnant blood in Li Teng Yun's brain had been discharged. When Li Teng Yun heard that he wouldn't die, he was both shocked and delighted. Since everyone saw that he was no longer in danger, they dispersed and went about their own business.
Only Jin Rong came to tell him to go back and inform Shi Zi that he would attend Lady Wu's tasting event tomorrow and ask him to find a way to support him. Lu Bu Ping had been searching for his purse all along, and Guo Zhen Sheng asked him what the purse looked like. Lu Bu Ping said it had his nickname, "Stinky Stinky," written on it.
In the middle of the night, someone came to Chun Fu and knocked on the door. Ban Xia got up to open the door and saw a handsome young man standing outside.
The members of the Chun family may appear noisy and often have disagreements, finding each other irritating at times. However, when it comes to important matters, they know how to distinguish and handle them.
On Pelan's birthday, although in the morning no one showed any signs of what was different about today compared to other days, they all returned in the evening for the birthday banquet.
Even Ke Ling, who is usually not at home, came back early with Si Huangzi.
It turns out that they all remembered, they remembered each special moment of these important family members. The eldest sister gave a purse, not just any ordinary one, but personally embroidered on it.
The third sister gave a flower vase with beautiful wishes, hoping that her older sister would be beautiful and not always revolving around the kitchen.
The fourth sister gave a peach tree, although it was actually a cherry tree, but she remembered that her older sister liked peaches and also recalled some past memories when she was so young, about their father and their older sister.
Mother Ruyu took off her grandmother's heirloom jade bracelet and gave it to Pelan. She knew that her second daughter had the softest temperament and she was afraid that she would be bullied in the future. Giving the jade bracelet was Ruyu's warm love, thinking of leaving her a precious item for protection, something that could help her in times of distress.
Therefore, everyone loves Pelan. Although they may boss her around on ordinary days, as Pelan said, if even family members have to be polite with each other, wouldn't that be strange?
Do you know why Si Huang Zi likes Ke Ling? Si Huang Zi is from the palace, and you must have seen palace intrigue dramas, right? The palace is filled with people who are constantly scheming. I often see comments in the barrage questioning why Si Huang Zi likes a woman like Ke Ling.
But from Si Huang Zi's perspective, his affection for the fourth sister is entirely normal.
