Episode 12 recap: Mu Yao became Zhong Ye Lan's concubine.
However, Hua Qian still refused Wu Shuo Mo and told him to ask Mu Yao directly about her feelings. Afterward, Hua Qian left, but these words left a deep impression on Wu Shuo Mo. In fact, the parrot that belonged to Mu Yao at that time was Wu Shuo Mo's.Mu Yao's former maid handed her a hairpin, and Mu Yao understood its significance immediately upon seeing its damaged state. Mu Yao never expected to become Zhong Ye Lan's minor concubine, but since it was proposed by the eldest princess, Zhong Ye Lan couldn't refuse.
Zhong Ye Lan believed that Hua Qian did this intentionally, but Hua Qian didn't offer much explanation. In fact, Hua Qian was willing to give up her position as the main wife to Zhong Ye Lan, but it wasn't the right time to bring up the topic of separation.
Mu Yao also felt that Hua Qian was humiliating her, but Hua Qian said that if that were the case, it would be easier to bully Mu Yao as a female servant. Hua Shen, in a daze, rushed out and doesn't know what to do now. He went to find Hua Qian, hoping to find a solution.
Hua Qian learned from the nanny that concubines cannot hold ceremonies, and they can't even wear wedding clothes. Hua Qian wanted to arrange a wedding feast for them, which surprised the nanny, but she had to agree. When Hua Shen went to find Hua Qian, he accidentally bumped into Mu Yao. Mu Yao intentionally spilled water on Hua Shen, and initially, Hua Shen wanted to continue talking to Mu Yao, but he was stopped by his subordinates, as their main purpose for coming today was to find Hua Qian.
Hua Shen had been waiting on the side while Hua Qian was busy. Hua Shen started talking about unrelated matters, but Hua Qian immediately knew that his brother wouldn't approach him without a reason. Hua Shen went out for a drink with his best friend, and his friend became interested in a maid. After drinking, Hua Shen directly gave the maid to his friend, but unexpectedly, the maid not only refused but also committed suicide by hitting a pillar.
Hua Shen came today because he was worried that his parents would scold him for this incident, and he even believed that he was not at fault. Hua Qian was very angry and criticized his brother. Then she sent people to drive Hua Shen back home. Initially, Hua Qian thought that the women in his brother's residence were there willingly.
Hua Qian also had Nan Feng inquire whether the female members of the family were willing to leave. If they wanted to leave, she would provide them with money. At first, Hua Shen found his sister's behavior strange, and Hua Qian scolded him again.
Father Hua was still very angry after learning that his son caused a maid to commit suicide. He also agreed to Nan Feng's request. Soon, all the maids in Hua Shen's residence who were willing to leave were taken away from the Hua residence. Mu Yao happened to pass by and witnessed this scene.
Hua Qian learned that the plum blossoms in the backyard were blooming, so she prepared to go and appreciate the flowers. Coincidentally, Mu Yao and Zhong Ye Lan were also there. Zhong Ye Lan accompanied Mu Yao to pick flowers and apologized to her. He expressed that he wouldn't let Mu Yao become a concubine and that he couldn't divorce Hua Qian at the moment. Mu Yao also stated that even if she became a concubine, she was willing to be with Zhong Ye Lan.
Hua Qian originally came to pick flowers but left upon seeing Mu Yao and Zhong Ye Lan together. Mu Yao couldn't hold back her tears as she looked at the hairpin in her hand. Her next step would be to seek revenge. Hua Qian personally arranged a wedding feast for Mu Yao, which surprised the common people. As they were scolding Hua Qian, Hua Qian's mother happened to overhear their words.
In order to save face for her daughter, Hua Qian's mother sent a gift. Today, Hua Shen also came, and Hua Qian warned her brother not to cause her trouble. After Mu Yao dressed up, she wore a hairpin that had been prepared in advance. At that moment, Zhong Xi Wu also arrived, and Hua Qian was happy to see him. Zhong Xi Wu even asked Mu Yao if she had feelings for Zhong Ye Lan, but Hua Qian quickly changed the subject.
Mu Yao packed her belongings, and Hua Qian served her tea. Initially, Hua Qian didn't want Mu Yao to serve her tea, but Zhong Ye Lan said it was the proper etiquette. Hua Qian gave Mu Yao a bracelet, and Zhong Ye Lan directly took Mu Yao away.
Hua Qian was happily having her meal when she noticed her brother, Hua Shen, was missing again. She quickly sent someone to find Hua Shen and bring him back. Hua Shen was already half-drunk and in a daze. At that moment, a woman entered Hua Shen's room, but Hua Shen had already fallen asleep.
Soon, the maids informed Hua Shen that he had barged into Mu Yao's room.
