Episode 8 recap: Pei Xing Jian saved someone and was seen by Liu Li.
Madam Yang praised Liu Li, acknowledging her competent handling of the situation, which prevented Madam Yang from holding Pei Xing Jian accountable. Lu Jin Niang was also very grateful to Liu Li for avenging her sister. In fact, this time Liu Li helped Pei Xing Jian resolve a long-standing worry. After these matters were settled, Liu Li hurriedly prepared to go to Xizhou to find Pei Xing Jian. No matter what, she was determined to accompany him on the journey.
In reality, both of them missed each other. Pei Xing Jian believed that his actions were for the good of the other person. However, he underestimated his position in Liu Li's heart. They had gone through many trials and tribulations, so it was extremely difficult for them to consider parting ways. Pei Xing Jian would often drown his sorrows in alcohol, thinking that getting drunk would temporarily help him forget his longing. However, the more he drank, the more sober he felt.
During a rest break in Xizhou, Liu Li's adoptive sister from Yunwei Cliff came to accompany her, accompanying her on the journey. At that moment, in Yunwei Chibi, a woman in red was just thrown out of the door. The man in front of her had no intention of letting her go. The woman's name was Ah Hong, and even if she was the last one standing, she refused to give up on killing him. As a result, the dagger in Ah Hong's hand flew into the room, narrowly missing Xizhou Sima Cai Yong's body. Seeing that he was unharmed, Cai Yong, along with his brother-in-law Wang Jun Meng, instructed all the soldiers to sit down.
Just as Ah Hong was about to be killed, unexpectedly, Pei Xing Jian intervened and saved her. Upon learning that Pei Xing Jian was from the government, Ah Hong quickly put on a smiling face, but Pei Xing Jian didn't care about the identity of the other person at all. As soon as Pei Xing Jian entered, Cai Yong noticed him.
Pei Xing Jian only requested a simple meal, but when it was served, it was very meager. A Cheng complained about it, and coincidentally, they saw Cai Yong, who was drinking. Cai Yong carried himself with great refinement, and the food on his table was clearly different from the others. Pei Xing Jian speculated that the other person must have a significant background.
Ah Hong was locked up in the stable. In order to escape successfully, she quietly took out a sickle and planned to use it to cut the ropes that bound her. Only then could she make a smooth escape.
After Ah Hong was thrown out, she was determined not to give up on killing the other person. However, due to her severe injuries, she was no match for her opponent. At this moment, Ah Hong prepared to draw her sword and kill the villain, but unexpectedly, Pei Xing Jian went out again to stop her.
Pei Xing Jian's intention was to save Ah Hong. Ah Hong initially wanted to end her own life, but Pei Xing Jian repeatedly intervened and saved her. Just at that moment, to Pei Xing Jian's surprise, Liu Li arrived. However, when Liu Li entered and witnessed Pei Xing Jian saving another woman, she naturally felt very uncomfortable. So she didn't admit that she was Liu Li and instead claimed that Pei Xing Jian had mistaken her identity.
Pei Xing Jian overheard the maidservants gossiping at the door, criticizing his behavior today as inappropriate. Pei Xing Jian originally wanted to explain to Liu Li, but he was taken away. In the evening, there was a song and dance performance at the inn. Pei Xing Jian became angry because Liu Li ignored him. Just then, he happened to see Ah Hong and Pei Xing Jian having a meal together. In addition, the fragrance of the letter Pei Xing Jian left on the table for his estranged wife made Liu Li feel very uncomfortable, so she went back to her room directly.
She had originally come with the sole purpose of finding Pei Xing Jian, but seeing this scene as soon as she arrived, she felt extremely upset. Pei Xing Jian still went upstairs, wanting to explain things to Liu Li. He prepared the food that Liu Li liked the most, knowing that she must not have had a proper meal after a long journey. However, Liu Li only asked him to leave the food and then left herself. Wang Jun Meng was quietly observing everything at the door and informed Cai Yong of the situation.
Wang Jun Meng also knew that this Mi Da Lang was not a good person and often harassed married women. Pei Xing Jian took the initiative to apologize to Liu Li, thinking that he was doing it for her own good. However, it only hurt Liu Li more. Early the next morning, Pei Xing Jian intended to leave with Liu Li, but he learned that she had already left early in the morning with the merchant caravan.
