Episode 19 recap: Chiyue assisted Chunniang in safely giving birth to a child.
Chunniang expressed her dissatisfaction with the ordinary things in the tavern, but Chiyue confronted her and refused to entertain Chunniang. However, Li Yi had ulterior motives and wouldn't have come for nothing. So he persuaded Chunniang with kind words and mediated between her and Chiyue. Chiyue didn't want to drive away customers, so she had Niu Dama find a table for Chunniang to sit at. Chiyue had the waiter bring French fries and tomato sauce, and Chunniang found them delicious. At this moment, Li Yi poured Chunniang a glass of fruit wine, claiming it was the signature wine of Chiyue's tavern and asked Chunniang to taste it.
Chunniang tasted the wine and praised its deliciousness. She quickly remarked that this wine was much better than the wine managed by Li Yi. Li Yi felt a bit embarrassed and quickly poured another glass for Chunniang. Unexpectedly, Chunniang suddenly felt abdominal pain. Li Yi seized this opportunity and had someone capture Chiyue and shut down the tavern. Ji Hong had just finished teaching the children when Niu Dama hurriedly returned and informed him about Chiyue's trouble. He anxiously tried to figure out a solution.
Chunniang had a tendency for premature birth, so Li Yi took the chance to accuse Chiyue in front of the county magistrate, blaming her for Chunniang's premature birth. When the county magistrate learned that Chunniang was currently only exhaling without inhaling, he wanted to execute Chiyue. Seeing the critical situation, Chiyue took the initiative to assist Chunniang in giving birth. After Chiyue's efforts, Chunniang successfully gave birth to a son, bringing great joy to the county magistrate.
Li Yi was bitter to see that his plan had not worked out. He didn't expect that the experienced midwife would discover that Chunniang's premature birth was caused by consuming saffron.
