Episode 4 recap: Mu Yao insisted on staying at Zhong Estate to investigate the truth.
Zhong Xi Wu was ready to punish Hua Shen, so he sent people to intercept Hua Shen. Hua Shen was still very arrogant and sent his own servant to protect himself, but the servant was defeated. Hua Shen was scared and hurriedly asked the servant to protect himself. Soon Hua Qian also learned that her brother was causing trouble outside, when she learned about it, she went to intercept her brother. At first, Hua Shen thought his sister came specially to help him, but Hua Qian said she didn't come to help her brother. However, at this time, Hua Rong Zhou came out to scold the person who blamed Hua Qian, but he was still defeated.
Hua Qian came up with an idea and asked someone to send both sides and Hua Shen to the yamen together. Hua Qian thanked Hua Rong Zhou. However, at this time he was already injured all over his body. The other side hurriedly apologized to Hua Qian, Hua Qian asked the girl what to do with her, the girl said as long as Hua Shen did not pester her anymore. Hua Qian then asked the servant to take his brother back.
However, Hua Qian always felt that the two martial arts people who fought fake battles with her brother were not ordinary. But when she looked up, Zhong Xi Wu had already hidden. Hua Qian originally wanted Qian Zhi to follow these two people, but she did not expect Zhong Xi Wu to take the initiative to greet Hua Qian and ask Hua Qian to send him home. Hua Qian recalled that she had directly refused before, but this time she couldn't refuse. She then invited Zhong Xi Wu onto the carriage.
The two of them did not speak along the way. Hua Qian did not know what to say, after all, she was also a sister-in-law, and it would be inappropriate for her to speak first. Soon the Zhong Estate arrived, Zhong Xi Wu got off the car, and Hua Qian sighed in relief. After returning, Hua Qian was still thinking about the two martial arts people who pestered her brother. She was worried that it was because her choice had changed and people had changed too.
Taking advantage of the fact that there were still two months before the ancestral commemoration ceremony, she should start preparing from now on. When eating, Zhong Ye Lan also came over and personally served food to Hua Qian. Hua Qian was a bit aloof towards Zhong Ye Lan. Zhong Ye Lan also said that he would treat Hua Qian well in the future, but Hua Qian was taken aback and Zhong Ye Lan's approach was rejected.
Hua Qian knew that Zhong Ye Lan's heart had never been on her, and she had no need to repeat the same mistakes. Mu Yao told Zhong Ye Lan that he stayed behind just to investigate the truth of the matter. Zhong Ye Lan also said that Hua Qian was his wife, Mu Yao also said to give him three months, if he couldn't find out that this matter was related to Hua Qian, he would naturally leave and never come back.
In fact, the reason why Hua Qian kept waiting for the ancestral commemoration ceremony was because the ancestral commemoration ceremony was the opportunity for Zhong Ye Lan and Mu Yao to get together and pledge their love. This time, she wanted to change them in order to redeem herself.
Zhong Ye Lan thought Hua Qian was angry, so he gave an ancient guqin to Hua Qian. Hua Qian simply thanked him and asked her subordinates to put it away in her room.
In fact, Hua Qian liked looking at fine antiques and would be reluctant to part with them, but this time she endured it. These days, Zhong Ye Lan had sent many things through people, but Hua Qian only simply said to put them in the warehouse, with a very cold attitude overall. In the end, Zhong Ye Lan decided to visit Hua Qian personally and brought her favorite sweets.
Hua Qian's attitude towards Zhong Ye Lan was also polite but detached. Zhong Ye Lan originally wanted to accompany Hua Qian out for a walk, but Hua Qian wanted to refuse at first. Unable to reject Zhong Ye Lan's repeated requests, she could only say she was going to see The eldest princess.
Hua Qian went to see The eldest princess, which surprised her. At this time, Zhong Xi Wu also came. The eldest princess also told her son not to eat too many sweets or he would get sick.
At this point, a subordinate came to report on spice matters, which was actually just an excuse to see Zhong Xi Wu. As soon as Zhong Xi Wu came, the whole courtyard became lively. The eldest princess originally wanted Hua Man to come and ask questions, originally planning to let her go when she saw Zhong Xi Wu come, but Zhong Xi Wu had Hua Man come in instead. After some probing by Hua Qian, she found that her father had indeed abandoned Hua Man as an unwanted daughter, and deliberately causing a scene in public also meant everyone would know they would have no private relationship.
What Hua Qian needed to do now was to get The eldest princess to see her in a new light, and also to get The eldest princess's help speaking for her in the future. After learning that Zhong Ye Lan had been at home these days, Hua Qian went to the Zhong Estate every day to avoid Zhong Ye Lan. The attitude of the lady of the house also changed towards the sweet-talking Hua Qian.
At first, the lady of the house thought Hua Qian wanted Zhong Ye Lan to accompany her more, but Hua Qian said she wanted Zhong Ye Lan to focus on his career. At this time, the palace sent lychees, which Zhong Xi Wu actually liked to eat, so the empress dowager specially sent people to deliver them.
The maid Ya Xiang wanted to get close to Zhong Xi Wu, so in order to resolve conflicts, The eldest princess asked Hua Qian to send them over. Before leaving, Zhong Xi Wu asked Hua Qian if she would check the account books, which recorded Hua Shen's private use of funds.
