Episode 44 recap: San Jie recounted the past.
Li Ruo Yi and Feng Yi Lun returned to meet San Jie, and Li Ruo Yi wanted to know about their past. San Jie started telling the story. At that ball, San Jie was very upset because she felt that she had always treated Li Ruo Yi as her own sister, but Li Ruo Yi ended up taking the man she liked, Mr. Li, away from her.
Miss Min was also very surprised and said that she had no idea that San Jie liked Mr. Lin. San Jie thought that Miss Min was pretending not to know, even though she knew everything, and she even let Mrs. Li come and say those things to San Jie. Miss Min said she genuinely didn't know and admitted that she had feelings for Mr. Li, but she never considered being with him. There was a significant gap between them, but San Jie couldn't accept that.
The next day, San Jie wrote a letter to Miss Min, confessing that she didn't have the courage to express herself and blamed Miss Min for everything. San Jie realized that she shouldn't have said those things and that Miss Min would always be her sister. San Jie left and told Miss Min to bravely pursue her own happiness. Later, Miss Min came to find San Jie and said that she had encountered some trouble, and those people wouldn't let her go. She entrusted her child to San Jie.
Miss Min asked San Jie to send the child to an orphanage first and then bring them back later. San Jie thought it would be better to raise the child herself, but Miss Min was worried that those people might come after them and advised sending the child away for a few years. San Jie sent Feng Yi Lun away at that time but later brought him back, and they have been relying on each other ever since.
San Jie mentioned that Mrs. Li had been looking for them for two years initially, but when they disappeared, she gave up. Later, when the bust incident happened, San Jie wanted Feng Yi Lun to acknowledge his ancestry, but she couldn't bear to do it, so she kept it a secret. Now it seems like fate has brought them together. Li Ruo Yi expressed sympathy for San Jie's struggles.
Many years ago, Miao Axiu and Mr. Lin had already colluded with each other. Mr. Lin believed that once the master had a child, his heart softened, and he wanted to accumulate virtue for the child. He wanted to launder their business, but legitimate business didn't make any money. They, the brothers, had to eat and drink somehow. Miao Axiu asked Mr. Lin how his pharmaceutical research was going. Mr. Lin said it was almost done because he wanted to come and take a look. Mr. Lin brought him over, and now there are people testing the drug, which indeed can make people addicted.
Feng Yi Lun's father believed that when they developed the Lijia faction back then, it was to overthrow the Qing government and allow the people to live a good life. Now they couldn't go against the original intention and harm the people. Feng Yi Lun's father called Mr. Lin over and said that Ah Gui had already confessed. He didn't expect Mr. Lin to dare to smuggle women to Nanyang and engage in drug production. Was there anything he wouldn't dare to do?
Mr. Lin quickly stated that he hadn't done those things and that someone was slandering him. Feng Yi Lun's father said that he knew what he had done, and dared he let him continue the investigation? Feng Yi Lun's father had someone beat up Mr. Lin and said that he had suppressed the news in the newspaper. He told Mr. Lin to think carefully here.
Miao Axiu came over to administer medicine to Mr. Lin and said that the master didn't even consider them. He felt that if the master laundered the business, they would be done for, so they had to take the initiative. Mr. Lin thought that the master had many martial arts experts around him, and they couldn't do anything against him. Miao Axiu said that the master had vulnerabilities when he was alone, and Mr. Lin found it reasonable.
Feng Yi Lun's father went to buy something and was blocked by a group of people in the alley.
