Episode 3 recap: Coral was beaten and forced to ingest a mute drug.
Coral went out to damage Liuli's reputation, wanting everyone to know that Liuli was secretly meeting someone while her husband was away. They wanted to frame Liuli for it. They also presented the painting Liuli had just made as evidence, even though Liuli hadn't written anything on it. It was intentionally done by the Princess. Coral deliberately ran to the front yard and told Princess Zhang and all the women that Liuli was having a secret meeting with another man. Soon, they all followed him there.
Coral intentionally claimed to have seen them in disheveled clothes, but when Liuli deliberately questioned him, she found inconsistencies in Coral's words. The maidservant also helped Liuli cover up the lies, and other maidservants who witnessed the truth spoke up. However, Coral kept trying to argue, but even the man's wife believed that it was all a deliberate setup. The wife of the Crown Prince instructed Coral to apologize and explained the situation to the Princess, who became very angry. She didn't expect her elaborate plan to backfire, and all the servants suffered as a result.
Coral was awakened by a bucket of cold water thrown by the Princess in the middle of the night. Coral pleaded with the Princess for another chance, but the Princess remained very angry and had Coral taken out to receive punishment according to the family's rules. The Crown Prince's wife was also punished. In fact, Liuli had been keeping an eye on the Hedong Residence. She had just found out that there had been many visits from doctors recently. So Pei Xing Jian prepared to go and meet his father-in-law.
At this time, Coral's mother learned about the suffering her daughter had endured and wanted to visit her, but she was restrained by her husband at home. Pei Xing Jian deliberately went there to find out the situation and happened to hear Coral's mother crying for help in the courtyard. Pei Xing Jian intended to go and see what was happening.
Coral's mother said that her daughter was definitely being instigated, and she didn't even have the chance to see her daughter now. After scolding her, Pei Xing Jian left. After all, they wanted to frame Liuli, but Liuli didn't fall for it. If she had fallen for it, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Pei Xing Jian and Liuli learned upon returning home that the Crown Prince's wife had come, accompanied by several concubines. They informed Princess Dachang and requested a written divorce letter for Coral. From now on, Coral and the Hedong Residence would have no relationship. In the end, Liuli's father agreed as well, after all, he wanted his daughter to live a good life. The Princess even intentionally beat Coral half to death, planning for her to die at Liuli's residence. Coral's mother naturally refused to let it go and waited for their own family to create chaos. Then everyone would believe that this matter had nothing to do with the Hedong Residence.
Little did they know that Pei Xing Jian had made preparations in advance and had called a doctor to treat Coral. The doctor informed them that Coral's condition was very severe and it seemed that she had been drugged and couldn't speak. Once this drug was taken, Coral would never be able to speak again. When Coral learned about this, she became extremely distraught. When the Princess learned that their little trick had been exposed by Liuli and Pei Xing Jian, she became very angry. Their plan to frame Liuli had once again failed.
The Princess was unwilling to give up and began thinking of other ways. In the end, Coral passed away. It was almost impossible to blame Liuli because Liuli's father had witnessed everything. Liuli still thought of Coral at night. Even if Coral was hateful, she was still her sister, and Liuli couldn't help but feel a bit reluctant in her heart.
