Episode 8 recap: Zi Chuan Xiu is investigating Yang Ming Hua for treason.
In order to present herself in a better appearance before Zi Chuan Xiu, Zi Chuan Ning hurriedly returned to her room and kept dressing up. Xiao Mei couldn't quite understand Miss's thoughts. Shouldn't today be about Zi Chuan Xiu and Zi Chuan Ning? Why does Zi Chuan Ning seem more excited? However, Zi Chuan Ning didn't think much about it and believed that missing the timing would not be an auspicious moment.
Luo Ming Hai saw someone rushing to deliver a message to Yang Ming Hua and intercepted the message halfway, claiming that he could handle it and cut off the information without Yang Ming Hua's knowledge. In the time it took for a joss stick to burn, Zi Chuan Ning made Xiao Mei look out for Zi Chuan Xiu's return seven or eight times. When Zi Chuan Ning heard that Zi Chuan Xiu had not returned yet, she felt a bit disappointed, thinking that Zi Chuan Xiu might have forgotten about such an important matter today.
Zi Chuan Ning was very happy when she heard that Zi Chuan Xiu had returned. She was looking forward to what Zi Chuan Xiu would remember, but the atmosphere that followed turned icy cold after Zi Chuan Xiu mentioned that he came back today to send his master to Yanzhou. Zi Chuan Xiu's failure to answer correctly, despite Xiao Mei's hint, angered Zi Chuan Ning. Zi Chuan Ning, who had known Zi Chuan Xiu since childhood, knew that he was doing this on purpose. Xiao Mei hinted that Zi Chuan Xiu had promised to accompany Zi Chuan Ning to play the piano today. Now, Zi Chuan Ning was angry and didn't want to pay attention to Zi Chuan Xiu. Zi Chuan Xiu, on the other hand, was also struggling inside. He knew Zi Chuan Ning's feelings for him, but their identities were vastly different, and he didn't dare to entertain thoughts of this beautiful affection.
Zi Chuan Shen Xing pretended to be foolish, hoping to summon Yang Ming Hua to handle the memorial for him. Luo Ming Hai was actually somewhat dissatisfied that Yang Ming Hua was being ordered around like this and wanted to provoke Yang Ming Hua to rebel.
Zi Chuan Ning intentionally bought nice gifts for everyone around her, except for Zi Chuan Xiu. Zi Chuan Xiu felt that he was being treated differently and deliberately threw away many of the gifts he had bought in front of Zi Chuan Ning.
Zi Chuan Xiu believed that he was the most important thing in Zi Chuan Ning's heart and pretended to want to jump off the building to seek Zi Chuan Ning's forgiveness. However, this tactic didn't work, and he felt frustrated. He went to complain to his second brother and also wanted to stay with him for a few days.
Zi Chuan Shen Xing watched Zi Chuan Ning and Zi Chuan Xiu secretly competing with each other, turning a perfectly good family banquet into a chaotic mess.
Stalin knew that Zi Chuan Xiu wasn't actually drunk, but was pretending to be drunk here, indicating that he had something on his mind. Zi Chuan Shen Xing took the opportunity to lock Zi Chuan Xiu up, wanting to test whether Yang Ming Hua had any intentions of rebellion. Luo Ming Hai came to check on Zi Chuan Xiu, but Stalin blocked him. Zi Chuan Xiu, afraid of being exposed, pretended to wake up and dispelled the suspicion. Upon seeing the documents brought by the other party, he knew that tonight wouldn't be easy for him.
Upon hearing that Zi Chuan Xiu had been drowning his sorrows in alcohol lately, Zi Chuan Ning had Xiao Mei call Zi Chuan Xiu back home. Zi Chuan Xiu stated that his anger hadn't subsided and he found Stalin to explain that in order to fulfill the mission and prevent Zi Chuan Ning from calming down too quickly, he had to do something.
Zi Chuan Xiu secretly went to brothels with money borrowed from his second brother to provoke Zi Chuan Ning. During the day, he stole some information, and in the evening, he cross-checked it with Stalin. They discovered that the minerals being mined were somewhat peculiar, indicating that someone might be secretly preparing for a rebellion.
Zi Chuan Ning felt very sad when she learned that Zi Chuan Xiu had gone outside to find women. He spent his days drowning his sorrows at home. Zi Chuan Xiu was surprised to see Zi Chuan Ning drinking heavily when he returned. Zi Chuan Xiu was angry seeing Zi Chuan Ning heavily intoxicated and regretted how he had hurt her so badly in order to carry out his tasks.
Taking advantage of her drunken state, Zi Chuan Ning vented her anger on Zi Chuan Xiu. She was deeply hurt that Zi Chuan Xiu had forgotten their childhood promises and had become someone who made her angry. Zi Chuan Xiu didn't actually dislike Zi Chuan Ning; he confided in her that he actually hated himself.
He was happy to see Zi Chuan Ning again, but he wasn't the same person he used to be, and he couldn't dare to see Zi Chuan Ning every day. Zi Chuan Xiu now deeply understood that he wasn't happy at all after growing up.
