Episode 25 recap: Pei Xing Jian was framed, and Liu Li schemed and plotted.
Although Ai Chong Yu's father felt that he had done his best this time, he didn't achieve the expected results. After Liu Li's transformation, the fabrics were showcased beautifully, and the common people came to learn. Zhang Min Niang still looked down on Yun Yi for being rude. Just at that moment, Ai Chong Yu arrived. Yun Yi deliberately acted very friendly towards Ai Chong Yu, even serving him tea and water. Zhang Min Niang felt uneasy seeing this and didn't expect Ai Chong Yu to actually drink the glass of water poured by Yun Yi.
Afterward, Liu Li also became curious about why Ai Chong Yu drank Yun Yi's water. In fact, Ai Chong Yu often admired Yun Yi for living freely. Yun Yi even intentionally mentioned in front of Zhang Min Niang that she liked Ai Chong Yu, but Zhang Min Niang didn't dare show her feelings.
When Liu Li was about to go home, she noticed a large crowd of common people gathered at her doorstep. Kind-hearted people told her that a heavily injured person had entered their house. Liu Li reassured the common people and returned home. By then, the person had been beaten by Yun Yi and was covered in blood. Yun Yi informed her that Tang Jun had slaughtered the Shang Trading Company and hoped to inform Ai Chong Yu about it as soon as possible. Liu Li saw the person's condition and knew he wasn't deceiving them, so she invited him into the room.
The person turned out to be a general who had discovered a lone surviving little girl in a farmhouse. However, two Tang soldiers suddenly stormed in and took the girl away. The general managed to reach the military camp, where he met Pei Xing Jian and informed him about the whole situation. Only after Pei Xing Jian instructed him to find Liu Li in Xi Zhou and through her, contact Ai Chong Yu, did he send the case back to Chang'an. In just a few days, the food supply had already dropped to less than half. Liu Li also called Han Si to help her treat the wounds and found that it was only a minor injury to the nose, with no serious harm elsewhere.
Liu Li knew that Pei Xing Jian must be facing difficulties at the moment, so she planned to help him through the general. Soon, it was heard that a dozen armored men had arrived at the Ai family. Pei Xing Jian immediately knew it was Su Nan Jin. Su Nan Jin was now reversing the situation and claimed that the person hiding in Pei Xing Jian's house was a rebel, urging Ai Chong Yu and his group to arrest them quickly.
Just then, Ai Chong Yu received Liu Li's message asking him to meet. Liu Li also told Han Si that if Mi Da Lang, who had just been rescued, were taken away by Su Nan Jin, he would be gone forever. Liu Li instructed Han Si to make Mi Da Lang's situation appear as bad as possible.
Naturally, Ai Chong Yu wanted to help Liu Li, but he still sought his father's approval. After receiving his father's consent, Ai Chong Yu hurried to find Liu Li.
Afterward, Liu Li brought out Mi Da Lang to show to Ai Chong Yu and told him the situation. At this point, only Ai Chong Yu could help them. Liu Li said she had come up with a plan and could guarantee that the recent events would not implicate the Ai family. Ai Chong Yu learned that Liu Li wanted to send a letter back to Chang'an and offered his assistance. Liu Li trusted Ai Chong Yu very much. Su Nan Jin had been waiting for Ai Chong Yu to return and investigate the spy situation. Ai Chong Yu confessed everything, leaving Su Nan Jin with nothing to say in the face of the truth.
Ai Chong Yu was very angry because Su Nan Jin had killed many people to achieve his goals. Initially, Su Nan Jin tried to defend himself, but in the end, he admitted to it. Ai Chong Yu left in anger. Later, Ai Chong Yu knelt in front of the idol. Su Nan Jin continued to make excuses, but Ai Chong Yu didn't want to become someone who had killed countless people like Su Nan Jin. They had only wanted to benefit the people in Xi Zhou and didn't expect their actions to cost people their lives.
Liu Li deliberately called an old lady to treat Mi Da Lang, and Han Si mentioned that Mi Da Lang's condition was getting worse. Mi Da Lang appeared dazed. At this time, the guards came in and said they would silence Mi Da Lang. However, they didn't dare to act since Liu Li was present.
Moreover, Mi Da Lang's condition was very poor, so he couldn't be taken back. But at this moment, Su Nan Jin deliberately claimed that Mi Da Lang carried many crimes on his back and that they needed to take him back for interrogation. Liu Li asked him to provide evidence, but Su Nan Jin couldn't produce any. Unexpectedly, Su Nan Jin took out a talisman, but Liu Li wasn't afraid. She even mentioned that forcing others into prostitution was just an excuse and speculated that Mi Da Lang might have seen something he shouldn't have and was being silenced. Su Nan Jin had no way to refute her.
