Episode 14 recap: Pei Xing Jian learned that Sanjie had also brought the hemp paper but was stopped by Guo Chongyu
He hurried over, and fortunately, Sanjie was able to leave smoothly with Pei Xing Jian's intervention After returning to the residence, Pei Xing Jian took Sanjie to the backyard At that time, Luli was leading her colleagues in printing This was actually a clever idea devised by Luli Otherwise, it would have been difficult for Pei Xing Jian to achieve such smooth progress
After Pei Xing Jian sold the copied scriptures, he made a considerable amount of money. Luli wanted Sanjie to claim that it was all her idea, but Pei Xing Jian noticed that Luli's hands were covered in ink, so he quickly took her back to the room to clean up. Pei Xing Jian still cared deeply for Luli. Just as they were about to leave, they learned that a stack of newly printed scriptures had been taken. However, everyone present objected to Pei Xing Jian taking charge. Pei Xing Jian recalled the guards that Guo Chongyu had placed in his production process and concluded that Guo Chongyu would soon become aware of this matter.
Pei Xing Jian speculated that the other party must have extraordinary lightness skills and would be able to evade everyone's sight. Soon enough, Guo Chongyu did find out about it and informed Wang Jun Meng. Wang Jun Meng was impressed by the quality of the writing, and Guo Chongyu quickly deduced that the scriptures were printed, not handwritten. Now Pei Xing Jian's biggest concern was that Guo Chongyu's investigation would uncover Luli's true identity. However, Luli was not worried at all, as she had already come up with a way to handle it.
Guo Chongyu called San Niang over, and she indeed saw the Buddhist scriptures in Guo Chongyu's hands. Guo Chongyu pretended to seek San Niang's knowledge of how to copy the scriptures and even tempted her with money. San Niang claimed that it was all Luli's idea, and Guo Chongyu had no choice but to let her go for now. In reality, Luli would eventually reveal the method to Guo Chongyu, as dispelling his suspicions was inevitable.
Wang Jun Meng still summoned Luli to the residence, and San Niang accepted Guo Chongyu's hundred pieces of gold. Luli also revealed the method to Guo Chongyu. Guo Chongyu, however, never expected that Luli was deliberately pretending. It was a very simple matter. Afterward, she left without hesitation. Although Guo Chongyu was furious inside, he dared not show it and pretended to be completely unsurprised.
The person who betrayed Pei Xing Jian naturally wouldn't be kept around. Pei Xing Jian even mentioned that this person would face a calamity. If there was one, he should reveal everything to Pei Xing Jian. However, even so, the other party still refused to believe what Pei Xing Jian said. In the evening, he still wanted to climb over the wall as before. As a result, he was pranked by the oil barrel that Pei Xing Jian had prepared in advance. He climbed over the wall and landed directly in the barrel, and when he tried to escape, he was intentionally shot in the buttocks with a sword. Now everyone believed even more in what Pei Xing Jian had said. But the injured guard, Bai San, still didn't let up with his words. Pei Xing Jian claimed that he kindly suggested Bai San to go back and recuperate, but it ended up like this.
Jing Niang called Luli over to paint, and Jing Niang also changed her usual attire. After Luli's makeover, she indeed looked much more beautiful. Jing Niang now liked Luli even more and said she would take her out to have fun tomorrow. She also rewarded Luli with many things, which made Luli quite happy. Wang Jun Meng went to play chess with Pei Xing Jian, and he actually learned that recently Pei Xing Jian had been helping a girl named Liu find her cousin. Pei Xing Jian deliberately made it seem like it was just a small favor, purposely letting Wang Jun Meng know about it.
After Wang Jun Meng returned home, Jing Niang kept showing off her appearance to him. At first, Wang Jun Meng was restless, but later Jing Niang stated that she didn't mind what they did to Pei Xing Jian personally, but she wouldn't allow anyone to harm Luli. Wang Jun Meng originally wanted to explain, but he was ultimately driven out of the room by Jing Niang.
