Episode 8 recap: Madam Yao stepped on something and fell down.
Luo Qing Lian said that since He Lian Xin could tolerate Fang Er Ge's inaction, how could he not tolerate Huo Gongzi's death? The past is in the past, no matter how painful it was, and nothing is more important than the future. Ru Hua assured Madam Yao that He Lian Xin still relied on the Mu family and would not neglect her.
Unexpectedly, Madam Yao became even angrier after hearing this. She questioned Ru Hua if He Lian Xin only liked her because of the Mu family. Ru Hua quickly stated that He Lian Xin naturally liked Madam Yao. Madam Yao guessed there was something on the ground, slipped, and fell. Luo Qing Lian told her that everyone knew about her past, and the various households would surely gossip, but they shouldn't pay attention to what they heard.
Luo Qing Lian entered the room and found He Lian Xin there as well. He Lian Xin ordered someone to replace everything in the room, but Luo Qing Lian stopped them. Luo Qing Lian thought He Lian Xin was good to his women, and even the Gongzi's woman had sent a big favor at this time.
He Lian Xin said he didn't understand. Luo Qing Lian said that since He Lian Xin could tolerate Fang Er Ge's inaction, how could he not tolerate Huo Gongzi's death? The past is in the past, no matter how painful it was, and nothing is more important than the future. He wasn't unable to understand, but rather had a far-sighted view.
He Lian Xin ordered Luo Qing Lian to stay here for now and not to leave without his command. Luo Qing Lian thought that He Lian Xin cared for the common people and would be a wise ruler, but Madam Yao was treacherous and cunning, and the Mu family was powerful. Sooner or later, they would harm He Lian Xin.
Luo Qing Lian knew that when He Lian Xin gave her these people, he had a purpose in mind. These people had served many Madams, so Luo Qing Lian asked them to tell her everything the Madams liked. She also wanted to know about the previous incidents in the Wangfu. Dong Li was allowed to go out, and she was instructed to keep an eye on everyone's movements.
Five months passed quickly. The Lord summoned everyone, extremely angry. He said that they collected so much tax revenue every year, but now they only had these IOUs left. The people couldn't produce silver because of the flood in Qu Liang River. The Lord asked who could retrieve the silver, but nobody spoke. Yuan Da Ren thought that the person needed to have a good reputation and time, and the most suitable person was He Lian Xin.
The Lord entrusted this task to He Lian Xin.
The Fourth Young Master was also very happy. If He Lian Xin couldn't handle this matter, it would anger the Lord. If he handled it well, he would offend these ministers. Either way, He Lian Xin wouldn't win. He Lian Xin sent someone to invite Luo Qing Lian, and she followed along. On the way, she encountered Madam Mo and accidentally dropped a step shake.
Madam Mo came to find Madam Yao and mentioned that she saw Luo Qing Lian. As expected, Madam Yao couldn't sit still. Luo Qing Lian arrived and met He Lian Xin, who took her to meet the Lord. The Lord asked Luo Qing Lian if she thought He Lian Xin could handle this matter. Luo Qing Lian said that He Lian Xin could handle it because the Lord was He Lian Xin's father and would definitely not let him fail.
The Lord mentioned that Luo Qing Lian was under house arrest and asked how she was doing. Luo Qing Lian said she was doing fine. The Lord said that fine was different, just like himself. He Lian Xin assured the Lord that he would handle the matter well, recover the owed money, and provide disaster relief to the people.
Madam Yao hurriedly wanted to find Luo Qing Lian. Ru Hua reassured Madam Yao that He Lian Xin still relied on the Mu family, and furthermore, Madam Yao was pregnant. He Lian Xin couldn't possibly not care about her. However, Madam Yao became even angrier after hearing this. She questioned Ru Hua if He Lian Xin only liked her because of the Mu family. Ru Hua quickly said that He Lian Xin naturally liked Madam Yao.
Madam Yao stepped on something on the ground, slipped, and fell. Luo Qing Lian returned to the mansion and was taken by Madam Yao's people. Luo Qing Lian saw Madam Yao holding a child and was also surprised. She didn't expect Madam Yao to have given birth. Madam Yao asked Luo Qing Lian to take a look at the child, and Luo Qing Lian was shocked to find that the child was dead.
Madam Yao blamed Luo Qing Lian for the death of her child and said it was all her fault. Luo Qing Lian insisted that it had nothing to do with her. On the other side, Madam Mo brought the legitimate wife along and mentioned that Madam Yao had stepped on Luo Qing Lian's step shake, and now there was a problem with the child.
Madam Yao had someone silence Luo Qing Lian and kept her confined in this place.
