Episode 5 recap: Liuli swiftly reformed the backyard.
However, it turns out that Liuli had already prepared everything. She even mentioned that they were originally planning to visit Lady Lu's grave today, and she also asked Yunu to come along. Liuli was not a petty person and didn't mind these things. She even said that in the future, she would go to pay respects with Pei Xing Jian.
Lady Lu had a very unjust death due to the pressure from her family. She was forced to take her own life, and her unborn child also tragically perished. On their way back, Liuli intentionally brought up the matter of Yunu's contract of indenture. They arrived at the Hedong Manor and handed over the contract to Princess Dachang, intending to turn the tables on her.
At first, Yunu was very surprised. After all, her contract was in the hands of the eldest princess. Why was it now in Pei Xing Jian's manor? In fact, Liuli and Pei Xing Jian wanted to use this method to send Yunu back, and Princess Dachang had no choice but to accept it.
Princess Dachang was furious. She actually knew that the contract was fake but didn't dare to reveal that the real contract was still in her possession. After all, she had intentionally used the pretext of the contract to keep Yunu in her manor. The eldest princess was extremely angry. She had always been the one scheming against others, but she hadn't expected others to see through her schemes.
On the way back, Liuli was very happy that Pei Xing Jian came up with this plan. Pei Xing Jian said that he had long suspected Yunu's ulterior motives. She wanted to sow discord between them as a means to fight for the family's inheritance. That's why Pei Xing Jian never gave Yunu any opportunities. Yunu could only leave dejectedly.
Pei Xing Jian was also very grateful that Liuli trusted him wholeheartedly. There was no longer any estrangement between them as a couple. Liuli could now use the matter of the contract to threaten Yunu. Yunu secretly overheard Liuli's plan to go out today and decided to take advantage of Liuli's absence to seduce Pei Xing Jian while he was bathing. However, this was a deliberate trap set by Liuli. Liuli intentionally said that she had given Yunu numerous chances, but Yunu showed no signs of repentance. Later, Pei Xing Jian's subordinate found half of a land deed in the room, and Liuli immediately guessed that it was the favor the eldest princess had given to Yunu.
Liuli deliberately threatened Yunu, saying that she would send her to the palace. Yunu became completely frightened and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy. She promised to leave Chang'an City far behind in the future. Liuli agreed to this and even said that if Yunu genuinely repented, it would be considered as repayment to herself. Liuli successfully drove away Princess Dachang's spy through this method, and Pei Xing Jian was very happy to have such an intelligent wife.
However, when Princess Dachang learned about this, she was furious. She didn't expect Yunu to voluntarily seek release from the county government and easily leave. Nevertheless, Princess Dachang decided not to let Liuli off easily. Liuli would often personally cook delicious food for Pei Xing Jian in the kitchen. Pei Xing Jian also told her that he planned to entrust the family property in Luoyang to Liuli to manage. Liuli and Pei Xing Jian were also discussing the emperor's intention to make Wu Zhaoyi the empress, but they didn't know whether this would ultimately be good or bad.
After learning that Princess Dachang had set up an ambush, Liuli continued with her plan to deliver clothes to the General's wife, using it as an excuse to inform her about Princess Dachang intentionally planning an ambush. She also chose the day before their visit to the temple because only by entering the temple could Liuli truly be recognized as Pei Xing Jian's wife. Thus, Princess Dachang wanted to use this relationship to suppress Liuli.
Despite this, Liuli still attended the ambush. During the meal, Princess Dachang insincerely apologized to Liuli and then mentioned the matter of managing the Pei family's industry. Finally, she emphasized that this industry had no connection with other families, essentially trying to elevate Liuli's position and cause everyone to have opinions about her.
