Episode 6 recap: Ji Chu tried to probe Hua Qing Ge's identity.
While Hua Qing Ge was sleeping, she suddenly saw a strange figure in the room, which scared her and made her scream loudly. She wanted to go out but found that the door was already closed and she couldn't open it no matter what. At that moment, Ji Chu was outside the door. He heard the noise from the room, but he wasn't surprised and thought it was normal.
Although the author knew the whole plot, she was still very scared. She suspected that Ji Chu was intentionally testing her. Hua Qing Ge didn't make any sound, and Ji Chu thought she might have been frightened and passed out, so he prepared to go in and check. Just as Ji Chu entered, the door closed, and Hua Qing Ge, who originally wanted to pretend to be a ghost to play a trick on Ji Chu, was discovered.
Ji Chu also mentioned the case of Wu Xue Ji (舞雪姬) and felt that Hua Qing Ge seemed to know a lot about him. Hua Qing Ge didn't know how to explain. Then Ji Chu asked her directly if she was Hua Qing Ge. Hua Qing Ge deliberately acted ignorant, but Ji Chu had already sensed that something was wrong with her identity. Since Hua Qing Ge wanted to continue pretending, Ji Chu decided to play along.
The next day, as soon as Hua Qing Ge went out, she met Ji Chu. Reluctantly, she pretended to be obedient. Ji Chu called for the steward, Song, to discipline Hua Qing Ge. At first, Hua Qing Ge thought she just needed to say a few nice words, but Song didn't fall for it at all. He even made her climb onto the rafters to clean. Initially, Hua Qing Ge was unwilling, but Song insisted, so she reluctantly agreed and spent eight hours a day on the rafters.
Ji Wan Er is still very worried about her eldest brother, Ji Yun. Since Ji Chu got married, she has never seen her sister-in-law, Hua Qing Ge, in the mansion. She had hoped that they could still play together like they did when they were children, but it seems that everyone is drifting apart.
However, Ji Wan Er wishes they could go back to the past. She noticed a chessboard nearby and went to study it. Seeing the opponent's chess game was quite sharp, she deliberately removed two chess pieces. At that moment, Gong Ye Qi also arrived and saw Ji Wan Er deliberately altering their chess game, but he didn't expose her.
At that moment, Ji Chu arrived, and Ji Wan Er continued to ask who the other person was. Ji Chu simply said it was someone unimportant. Ji Wan Er came this time to meet her sister-in-law, but Ji Chu didn't give a direct answer and only said there would be opportunities in the future. However, Ji Wan Er insisted that her sister-in-law was Hua Qing Ge, but Ji Chu remained cold and indifferent. Ji Wan Er felt that her third brother was completely different from when they were children. Feeling heartbroken, Ji Wan Er left directly, but she would never give up. After all, they must repair the bond they had in their childhood.
As for Gong Ye Qi, Ji Wan Er decided to get to know him better. Perhaps he would know why Ji Chu's attitude had changed. When Gong Ye Qi was gathering medicine in the evening, he suddenly remembered Ji Wan Er and couldn't help but smile. Ji Yun came to find Ji Wan Er because he learned that she had met Ji Chu at the mansion yesterday. He wanted to know who she encountered at the mansion yesterday. Ji Wan Er hesitated in her response. After learning that Ji Wan Er was going to the mansion, he asked her to take care of Hua Qing Ge, who is now known as Xiao Qing.
Ji Wan Er went to the room to find Hua Qing Ge and discovered her on the roof. But upon receiving Ji Wan Er's command, Hua Qing Ge finally came down from the roof. Ji Wan Er started to doubt Hua Qing Ge's identity and proceeded to ask who she really was.
