Episode 7 recap: The Eagle Falcon Gang misled Guo Da Lu.
The Eagle Falcon Gang misled Guo Da Lu.Lin Tai Ping didn't understand the good intentions of the sect leaders and was determined to have his father break off the marriage contract. He was also shocked by the idea of having Hong Niang Zi teach Yu Ling Long virtues and proper conduct. Lu Shang Long Wang insisted that "those who are close to vermilion will be stained red, and those who are close to ink will be stained black," suggesting that the method could be worth a try.
Just then, Yu Ling Long arrived, and Lu Shang Long Wang seized the opportunity to leave. Lin Tai Ping then began talking to Yu Ling Long about Hong Niang Zi, but to his surprise, Yu Ling Long expressed a strong dislike for Hong Niang Zi as soon as she heard the name. She criticized Hong Niang Zi for her affected behavior and stated that it would be impossible for her to learn from her. Seeing this, Lin Tai Ping quickly changed his tone and claimed that Wang Dong wanted Yu Ling Long to teach Hong Niang Zi. Yu Ling Long was delighted to hear this and vowed to change Hong Niang Zi's detestable character. Lin Tai Ping was completely taken aback by Yu Ling Long's words but considered the matter settled.
Yu Ling Long and Lin Tai Ping set off for the Red Sect's district, accompanied by Yan Qi and Guo Da Lu. However, on the way, Guo Da Lu discovered that someone was carrying his wanted poster and conducting investigations. Guo Da Lu immediately panicked and tried to pull Yan Qi away, but Yan Qi refused to leave, so Guo Da Lu ran away alone.
After arriving at the Red Sect's district, Yu Ling Long assumed the role of a teacher when she met Hong Niang Zi. Yan Qi, who was nearby, couldn't figure out who was teaching whom anymore. Hong Niang Zi sensed Yu Ling Long's condescending attitude but, as a teacher, didn't argue with her. It was only when Yu Ling Long stated that she came to correct Hong Niang Zi's character that Hong Niang Zi truly understood Yu Ling Long's purpose. She then stopped being polite and showed Yu Ling Long a lesson. Apart from excelling in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, Hong Niang Zi was also skilled in martial arts. After demonstrating her abilities to everyone, she gave Yu Ling Long a real shock. Yu Ling Long quickly realized what had happened and ran away. The atmosphere became awkward, and everyone left. Wang Dong apologized to Hong Niang Zi, but she didn't mind, as she knew there were many people like Yu Ling Long who saw her in the same way, including the three sect leaders.
Guo Da Lu lay in bed recalling recent events, and soon Lin Tai Ping returned. Guo Da Lu said he had to leave, without giving specific reasons, only mentioning that it shouldn't implicate the Prosperous Manor. To his surprise, Lin Tai Ping didn't react at all. When Guo Da Lu approached him, he noticed that Lin Tai Ping was already asleep. Guo Da Lu couldn't wait any longer, so he took his bundle and left. Although he felt reluctant, he had to clear his name as soon as possible. However, not long after Guo Da Lu left, he encountered officials who were searching for him. Guo Da Lu patiently explained, hoping for understanding. What Guo Da Lu didn't know was that the officials were members of the Eagle Falcon Gang. They vaguely hinted to Guo Da Lu that a considerable amount of silver had recently been brought into the Prosperous Manor. This raised Guo Da Lu's suspicions, so he decided to return to the manor. Unbeknownst to him, Nan Gong Chou was secretly observing everything. After Guo Da Lu discovered the box of silver in the storehouse, he changed his mind and took his bundle back. Nan Gong Chou, however, couldn't understand what Guo Da Lu was up to.
Yu Ling Long was completely won over by Hong Niang Zi, so she took the initiative to find her and inquire about how to make someone she likes fall in love with her. Hong Niang Zi humbly taught Yu Ling Long, emphasizing the importance of giving and making efforts. Yu Ling Long seemed to understand something! On the other hand, Guo Da Lu was unwilling to believe that the three sect leaders he had always respected could do such a thing. Yan Qi was curious about what he was thinking and approached him. When Yan Qi heard about it, he thought Guo Da Lu was referring to his father since Nan Gong Chou had always targeted Guo Da Lu. So Yan Qi took Guo Da Lu to see the records at the Prosperous Manor, where Guo Da Lu finally understood the true origin of the silver.
After Yu Ling Long returned from Hong Niang Zi, she specially made steamed buns and porridge for Lin Tai Ping. However, Lin Tai Ping was too afraid to eat them, so Lu Shang Long Wang ended up eating them instead.
Guo Da Lu went to report his investigation results to the "officials," who were astonished by the thoroughness of Guo Da Lu's investigation. They could only guide Guo Da Lu to go back and interrogate Lao Sun to truly uncover the truth. That night, Guo Da Lu set off. Nan Gong Chou, who had never trusted Guo Da Lu, deliberately had Yan Qi keep an eye on him. Unexpectedly, they encountered Lu Shang Long Wang, who had come out to get water. All of this was because of those steamed buns and porridge!
