Episode 37 recap: Liu Li gave birth to a son for Pei Xing Jian.
After Liu Li returned home, she asked Pei Xing Jian to give her the remaining transmission symbol. She had put a lot of effort into making an identical one and deceived everyone. Pei Xing Jian looked at Liu Li affectionately. Soon, the imperial court sent a new provincial governor, hoping to restore order in the Western Province, and Pei Xing Jian was promoted.
What Dai Chongyu wanted to know most now was how to deal with Su Nanjin and his son. This matter had been handed over to the chief steward. Su Nanjin walked past them, still stubbornly refusing to speak, and the events of the past month or two had left a lasting impression on them. When Pei Xing Jian looked at Su Nanjin like this, he couldn't help but think of the soldiers who had died in vain.
Pei Xing Jian still found these things somewhat strange. After all, Chief Steward Gao didn't even eat a meal and was ready to leave with the Su family father and son. Liu Li had told Madam Liu about today's events and expressed that Madam Liu would definitely investigate thoroughly. At this moment, Chief Steward Gao led the Su family father and son to continue on their way. However, at this moment, a masked person suddenly appeared and blocked their path. The person's intentions were clear: to kill Su Nanjin and Su Zhenghai. An arrow shot directly into Su Zhenghai's chest, and he immediately spat out blood. The assailant then took out a knife and ended Su Nanjin's life.
Two years later, Dai Chongyu's father passed away due to illness. Dai Chongyu was transferred back to Chang'an, while Pei Xing Jian governed with competence and was deeply loved by the people.
Zhang Min Niang also became a nun to cleanse herself from her sins. Pei Xing Jian had been away from home for a long time, and now Liu Li's pregnancy was showing. Their focus now was to warmly welcome the arrival of their child.
Dai Chongyu had to return to Chang'an, which worried Jing Niang about Yun Yi. Yun Yi knew she couldn't leave with Dai Chongyu, even though they loved each other. They were inevitably facing separation. Yun Yi personally made a garment as a gift for Dai Chongyu and said that after seeing him off, she would also leave. She mentioned that she had only made this garment for him in her entire life and would never make one for anyone else. Yun Yi asked Dai Chongyu to always remember her, and it deeply saddened him because he truly loved Yun Yi and couldn't bear to see her leave.
Dai Chongyu, feeling upset, went to drink with Pei Xing Jian. Pei Xing Jian knew that Dai Chongyu was troubled by Yun Yi's situation, so all Pei Xing Jian could do was to comfort him. Pei Xing Jian reminisced about the day they first met in the Western Province. Initially, Pei Xing Jian never expected to become such good friends with Dai Chongyu. The memories were vivid— they had arguments and schemes between them. But now, they could sit together, have heartfelt conversations, and drink together. They hoped to be lifelong friends. They talked about various aspects of life, and meeting such a good brother in their lifetime was already enough.
Soon, Liu Li also gave birth to a son for Pei Xing Jian, bringing him great joy. After finishing his tasks, Pei Xing Jian hurried home to see his child. He also bought a gift for his son. The two embraced each other, and Liu Li accompanied their son as he grew up. Yun Yi would also come to spend time with them when she had the chance. Yun Yi actually wanted to be by Dai Chongyu's side, but she knew she couldn't be with him. Sometimes, she envied Liu Li and her husband. Despite enduring numerous hardships, they managed to be together, and that was enough.
Pei Xing Jian held his son in his arms, looking at his wife beside him. The memories flooded back— they had laughter and tears, and it was not easy for them to finally find happiness together. Now, they needed to return home, but they were also reluctant to leave this place that held special meaning for them.
