Episode 25 recap: The incident involving Nan Ru Zhen was discovered.
The primary wife explained that she had called everyone together so late because something had happened that couldn't be revealed to outsiders. There is a young master in Gongzi Mansion who is not actually the son of the young master. Nan Ru Zhen's maid came forward and admitted that she had been coerced by Nan Ru Zhen to do such things. He Lian Xin expressed a desire to open up Nan Ru Zhen's heart and see what color it truly is.
The primary wife was surprised to learn that Luo Qing Lian had helped Nan Ru Zhen give birth, and the maid couldn't believe that Luo Qing Lian had forgotten her grudge against killing her own child so quickly. The primary wife stated that no woman would forget such a grudge, and it was impossible for Luo Qing Lian to help Nan Ru Zhen. There must be a reason for her actions.
Nan Ru Zhen and He Lian Xin were together, looking at the child. Nan Ru Zhen mentioned that the child had stayed in the womb for too long, and the doctor had said there might be asthma, but fortunately, the child's condition was still good. Someone came over to inform He Lian Xin that Luo Qing Lian had caught an assassin. He Lian Xin was also very surprised and hurriedly went over.
Nan Ru Zhen also found it strange that Luo Qing Lian was fine, so why would there be an assassin? This time, the assassin was the same woman Luo Qing Lian had encountered before. Luo Qing Lian had learned about his older brother from her. He had always liked playing with knives and swords, while his brother only liked literature and was physically weak. Normally, he would always return home before dark, but on that day, he didn't come back until midnight, heavily injured. He said he had been drugged and abducted on his way home by a woman who had been seducing him. Eventually, he couldn't resist and spent a passionate night with her.
Later, someone pursued his older brother, who faked his death and deceived those people, but he was still fatally injured. The woman said she still remembered the scent of that woman on his brother. Finally, she encountered Luo Qing Lian today and found her, so she came to assassinate her.
E quickly claimed that he had never betrayed He Lian Xin. He Lian Xin noticed that the scent on Luo Qing Lian today was indeed different from before. Dong Li mentioned that Luo Qing Lian had run out of her own scent and had taken another box from the steward. It turned out to be the scent used by Nan Ru Zhen.
In fact, it was all arranged by Luo Qing Lian. The woman said she would do anything to avenge her brother, and Luo Qing Lian had arranged for her to come and assassinate him. The maid informed Nan Ru Zhen that He Lian Xin wanted everyone to come over now.
The primary wife explained that she had called everyone together so late because something had happened that couldn't be revealed to outsiders. There is a young master in the Gongzi Mansion who is not actually the son of the young master. Nan Ru Zhen claimed that he had never betrayed He Lian Xin and wanted to establish a blood relationship with the child. However, the child was too weak and unexpectedly passed away.
He Lian Xin was somewhat moved, but then Li Tang revealed that Nan Ru Zhen had engaged in intimate relations with others in the past. Nan Ru Zhen quickly accused Li Tang of framing him. Nan Ru Zhen's maid came forward and admitted that she had confessed under Nan Ru Zhen's coercion.
Nan Ru Zhen stated that he had done all this to stay by He Lian Xin's side. He Lian Xin expressed a desire to open up Nan Ru Zhen's heart and see its true colors. Luo Qing Lian suggested that although Nan Ru Zhen had wronged He Lian Xin, he had been by He Lian Xin's side for many years. If Nan Ru Zhen were to be executed and the prince found out, he might think He Lian Xin was heartless. It would be better to demote Nan Ru Zhen to a commoner and drive him away.
The others were puzzled, wondering why Luo Qing Lian spared Nan Ru Zhen. Luo Qing Lian explained that he had wanted to get rid of Nan Ru Zhen all these years, but now that he had accomplished it, he didn't feel as happy as he had imagined.
The fourth young master was also very anxious, as he believed that Nan Ru Zhen becoming a father would make him more defiant and less obedient to their authority. The fourth wife reassured him. Someone came and informed them that Nan Ru Zhen had been driven out.
