Episode 24 recap: Luo Qing Lian gave birth to a son.
The maid informed Luo Qing Lian that she saw Li Tang with Nan Ru Zhen. Luo Qing Lian didn't think much of it, but the maid mentioned that the person beside Li Tang is Nan Ru Zhen's companion. Luo Qing Lian mentioned that Li Tang had previously promised to be loyal to her, but now he couldn't control himself. In that case, she decided to break his legs.
Nan Ru Zhen was surprised to learn that Luo Qing Lian was pregnant. Dong Li thought it would have been better if Luo Qing Lian hadn't saved him today because it exposed her pregnancy. However, Luo Qing Lian believed it was still worth it. Although she would have to be cautious in the future, she gained leverage to use against Nan Ru Zhen.
When Miss Er returned, Li Tang accidentally bumped into her while sweeping the floor. Miss Er became furious and Li Tang explained that he had been absent-minded lately because his pet dog had recently died. He insisted that it was not intentional. Miss Er felt that Li Tang's explanation made her seem heartless and indifferent, as if she were worse than an animal.
Miss Er couldn't believe that Li Tang, a servant, could be so arrogant. She urged Luo Qing Lian to punish him severely, or else her parents would mistakenly believe that Luo Qing Lian was living a good life and become worried. Luo Qing Lian decided to make Li Tang kneel down and apologize.
As it started to rain outside, other people pleaded for mercy on behalf of Li Tang. However, Luo Qing Lian refused to let him off the hook until he pleaded for forgiveness. Miss Er was pleased to hear this. Li Tang felt that he had always been loyal because Luo Qing Lian treated them well, but now he realized that he could never compare to Luo Qing Lian's biological sister.
Nan Ru Zhen also became aware of the situation and instructed his people to get close to Li Tang. The maid informed Luo Qing Lian that she saw Li Tang with Nan Ru Zhen. Luo Qing Lian didn't think much of it, but the maid mentioned that the person beside Li Tang is Nan Ru Zhen's companion.
Li Tang arrived at Nan Ru Zhen's place, and Nan Ru Zhen asked him to bring out what Luo Qing Lian had with her. Li Tang handed over a wine flask to Nan Ru Zhen, who accidentally slipped and fell. Fortunately, Li Tang caught Nan Ru Zhen and prevented her from getting hurt.
Nan Ru Zhen believed that they were playing a trick on him, but if that were the case, they would have gone to great lengths to get rid of his child. He didn't expect Li Tang to actually save him. Dong Li saw Li Tang coming to Nan Ru Zhen's place while Luo Qing Lian waited there for Li Tang's return.
Luo Qing Lian mentioned that Li Tang had previously promised to be loyal to her, but now he couldn't control himself. In that case, she decided to break his legs. Nan Ru Zhen arrived and said that he would take Li Tang away. Nan Ru Zhen claimed that Li Tang had taken something belonging to Luo Qing Lian and asked her to think it through. Luo Qing Lian didn't stop Nan Ru Zhen.
Suddenly, Luo Qing Lian went into labor. He Lian Xin and the others also arrived, and He Lian Xin was extremely anxious. The principal wife believed that Luo Qing Lian was already full-term in her pregnancy and there was a doctor present, so everything would be fine. The prince also arrived, deeply worried.
Luo Qing Lian gave birth to a son, and the prince was overjoyed. He named the child He Nan Zhao and expressed his intention to have the child sent to the palace at the age of three for him to personally raise. He Lian Xin frequently visited Luo Qing Lian to see the child. Someone came and said that Nan Ru Zhen was experiencing complications and was about to give birth.
Luo Qing Lian wanted to go and have a look with He Lian Xin. However, He Lian Xin felt that it hadn't been long since Luo Qing Lian gave birth and that she should rest properly here. Suddenly, the midwife fainted, and there was no one to assist Nan Ru Zhen with the delivery.
Luo Qing Lian came forward and offered to help. She assisted Nan Ru Zhen in giving birth to a son. He Lian Xin urged Luo Qing Lian to quickly go back and rest. Lady Rong expressed surprise at what Luo Qing Lian had done. Luo Qing Lian explained that when she saw the child today, her speculation was confirmed. She wanted Nan Ru Zhen's child to be born so that they could proceed to the next step.
