Episode 13 recap: Lady Yao warns Luo Qing Lian.
He Lian Xin claims to have given Lv Bei Yi three chances to pursue the woman he desires, but Lv Bei Yi has given up each time. He Lian Xin is determined to obtain Luo Qing Lian for himself. Lv Bei Yi asks if this is the condition for becoming his strategist, to which He Lian Xin responds that ambition and women are both personal pursuits, unrelated to Lv Bei Yi's resignation.
Lady Yao acknowledges that Luo Qing Lian has made a significant move, but as long as her brother is present, the young master will not harm her. He Lian Xin seeks out the Fourth Young Master and shares the information she has gathered. She discovers that the Fourth Young Master has obtained many items that should have been given to the prince, and she has also captured the person responsible for killing Lord Li. However, she has not informed the prince of these matters.
Upon learning of Lady Yao's decline, the Fourth Madam realizes that she was not mistaken before—Luo Qing Lian is truly formidable. The Fourth Madam believes she has no way out now. He Lian Xin approaches Lv Bei Yi and agrees to let him be her strategist.
He Lian Xin reiterates that she has given Lv Bei Yi three chances to obtain the woman he desires, but he has given up each time. She is determined to get Luo Qing Lian. Lv Bei Yi asks if this is the condition for becoming his strategist, and He Lian Xin states that ambition and women are personal pursuits they will both have, unrelated to Lv Bei Yi's resignation.
Lady Yao is about to leave but insists on waiting here, expressing her certainty that He Lian Xin will come back to see her. He Lian Xin brings Lv Bei Yi along and declares that Lv Bei Yi is now her strategist, requesting that they not mention the past events again.
Lady Yao laments that her child has had no mother since birth and hopes He Lian Xin will visit the child frequently. Unexpectedly, He Lian Xin entrusts the child to Lady Mo for upbringing. Lady Yao requests Luo Qing Lian to accompany her, and He Lian Xin agrees.
He Lian Xin is unaware of Lady Yao's intentions but knows she won't act without purpose. Lady Yao asserts that Luo Qing Lian has made a significant move, but as long as her brother is present, the young master will not harm her. Lady Yao pushes Luo Qing Lian off the carriage, but He Lian Xin saves her and brings her back.
Lv Bei Yi checked on Luo Qing Lian and reassured her that she was fine, just frightened. He Lian Xin wiped Luo Qing Lian's face, but Luo Qing Lian accidentally called out Lv Bei Yi's name, which greatly upset He Lian Xin.
In reality, Lady Yao did it intentionally, wanting to forever plant a thorn in He Lian Xin's heart. Lady Yao had previously told Luo Qing Lian that He Lian Xin never cared about anyone and would never free Lv Bei Yi from his lowly status.
When Luo Qing Lian woke up, she asked He Lian Xin if it was true, expressing her desire to hear it directly from He Lian Xin. He Lian Xin confirmed it, making Luo Qing Lian very unhappy and wanting to leave He Lian Xin.
He Lian Xin admitted that she was never a noble person and that Luo Qing Lian was now her servant, so she should behave accordingly and serve her intimately tonight. The legitimate wife believed that from today onwards, Luo Qing Lian truly belonged to the Young Master's residence. No one knew what Luo Qing Lian would become in the future.
Lv Bei Yi saw Luo Qing Lian coming out and felt great pain in his heart. He Lian Xin had someone bring a cloak for Luo Qing Lian. Lv Bei Yi approached He Lian Xin with a sword, and He Lian Xin told him to stab her. If he could do it, she would let him go, but if he couldn't, he would have no further connection to her and Luo Qing Lian.
However, Lv Bei Yi still couldn't bring himself to stab her. Luo Qing Lian initially wanted to go to He Lian Xin but was intercepted by the Seventh Young Master. The Seventh Young Master explained that the cloak Luo Qing Lian was wearing had significant meaning. He Lian Xin's biological mother, Lady De, was raised by Lady Yi since childhood. She was only brought back by Lady De when she was nine years old, but Lady De only cared for her younger son and had no affection for her elder son who didn't grow up by her side.
Once, when He Lian Xin received a reward from her father, it was a cloak. However, He Lian Hua wanted the cloak, so Lady De gave it to him, and Lady Yi personally made an identical one for He Lian Xin.
