Episode 20 recap: Hua Qian caught Wu Shuo Mo and Mu Yao.
Hua Qian knew that all kinds of feelings would gradually fade away. Just at this moment, Miss Qi deliberately came over to humiliate Hua Qian, wanting everyone to feel as miserable as she did. Miss Qi even mocked Hua Shen, which made Hua Qian very angry. Miss Meng also arrived at this time, pretending to be a good person.
Just then, Zhong Xi Wu came over and asked Miss Meng to leave first as he had something to discuss with Hua Qian. When only the two of them were left, Hua Qian didn't want to have any involvement with Zhong Xi Wu, so she prepared to leave quickly. However, Zhong Xi Wu kept following her and even mentioned that she could visit the Zhai Xin Tower anytime in the future.
Zhong Xi Wu also went to find Miss Qi and asked her not to do anything to harm Hua Qian, but Miss Qi said that both Zhong Xi Wu and herself were pitiful people. Soon after, when Hua Qian returned home, she learned from her subordinates that a Hei Yi Ren (Men in Black) had appeared from the Zhong family. They had been monitoring them and found out that these two guests would be leaving Dong Huang Mountain tomorrow. Hua Qian knew her opportunity had come, so she ordered her people to set up an ambush and find out the true identities of these two Hei Yi Ren (Men in Black).
Hua Qian intentionally wanted to escalate the situation and attract the attention of the officials and soldiers, as the mastermind behind the scenes would be revealed sooner. The two Hei Yi Ren (Men in Black) were eventually surrounded. Hua Qian originally planned to remove their masks, but suddenly remembered that Wu Shuo Mo had said he would return to Dong Huang City, and he also had feelings for Mu Yao. This made her more certain that this person was Wu Shuo Mo.
Hua Qian naturally knew that Mu Yao was the true mastermind behind everything, but Wu Shuo Mo claimed that he was not the one who killed Hua Qian's brother at the banquet. In fact, Mu Yao had already sensed that Zhong Ye Lan's feelings for her were wavering, so she followed Wu Shuo Mo's instructions to test Zhong Ye Lan's feelings near the cliff.
Hua Qian intentionally had Hua Rong Zhou disguise himself as a black man and wander around the courtyard, and she informed Wang Xian Ling about this. Her intention was to prevent any suspicious individuals from approaching the Hua Mansion. Wu Shuo Mo's subordinates quickly found Mu Yao for help. Moreover, Hua Qian had stationed soldiers at the front gate, so others dared not act rashly and had no choice but to seek assistance from Mu Yao.
Mu Yao acknowledged that Wu Shuo Mo had been implicated because of her, and she wouldn't ignore this matter. As Mu Yao looked at her reflection in the mirror, she couldn't understand why she had become the most despised person. Hua Qian didn't expect that they could remain so calm this time. She had originally planned to wait and see. At this moment, Miss Meng sent a letter requesting a meeting with Hua Qian. Hua Qian couldn't repeatedly refuse, so she had to agree.
Hua Qian recalled that on the day she mentioned capturing the Hei Yi Ren (Men in Black), Miss Meng didn't appear very surprised, as if she already knew about it. Miss Meng mentioned the changes in Miss Qi during this period. Miss Meng seemed to be trying to win over Hua Qian, considering that Hua Qian's father still held a high status. Hua Qian pretended not to understand.
Mu Yao sneaked out at night, taking advantage of the darkness. However, Zhong Ye Lan witnessed everything and knew that she was heading to the Hua Mansion. When Hua Qian returned home, Mu Yao was already in her room. Mu Yao asked Hua Qian about someone's whereabouts, and Hua Qian feigned indifference. Surprisingly, Mu Yao came to seek help, so she should have had the appearance of someone seeking assistance.
Hua Qian already knew that Mu Yao and Wu Shuo Mo had joined forces at the banquet. Mu Yao even said that if responsibility needed to be assigned, it should all be directed at her. In truth, Hua Qian had no interest in the relationship between Zhong Ye Lan and Mu Yao. What concerned her was that Mu Yao's testing of Zhong Ye Lan had cost her brother's life.
