Episode 7 recap: Xie Yun was humiliated by Yin Ji.
Because Xie Yun was wearing very little clothing, the men downstairs kept pointing and staring at her, and Yin Ji's fists were already clenched. In the end, it was Qi Yan who rescued Xie Yun, and Xie Yun fainted and fell onto Yin Ji, causing Yin Ji to cough up fresh blood.Yin Ji went downstairs and viciously beat up all the people who had mocked Xie Yun. Xie Yun was listless in the room, and the maid had wanted to make her something to eat, but Xie Yun still refused. What happened last night had also kept Yin Ji awake all day, and it was his emotional turmoil that led to his current state.
The steward also revealed that Xie Yun had had a high fever all night last night. In fact, Yin Ji was also wondering if he had been too harsh. As long as Xie Yun had just explained herself, no matter what the reason was, even if it was to deceive him, he would have believed her. But Xie Yun ultimately said nothing.
Because of what Yin Ji had done to her last night, Xie Yun didn't say a single word tonight. The maid pleaded with Qi Yan to quickly take Xie Yun away, as she was truly pitiful. Angered, Qi Yan went to the main hall and beat up Yin Ji, and Yin Ji also fought back against Qi Yan. Qi Yan said that Yin Ji had once promised to protect Xie Yun well, but every time Yin Ji said he had his own plans, in the end it was Xie Yun who suffered.
This time, Yin Ji had truly hurt Xie Yun too severely.
When Xie Yun went out, she saw Xiao Baobao, who had brought some pastries, just to taunt Xie Yun. Xie Yun stated that her relationship with Yin Ji had run its course. Xiao Baobao asked Xie Yun if she loved Yin Ji, and also said that there was a secret room in Yin Ji's study, and perhaps Xie Yun's family members' whereabouts were there.
In the evening, Xie Yun went to the study alone and successfully found the secret room in Yin Ji's room. She went down the stairs of the secret room, and inside were all letters. It turned out that Yin Ji had been imitating Xie Yun's brother's handwriting, and the letters he had sent to his mother and brother were all here.
Xie Yun completely broke down. Not a single one of her family's letters had been sent out, and Yin Ji could mock her and even let others humiliate her, but she couldn't understand why he had to lie to her and give her these non-existent hopes. Xiao Baobao had deliberately tried to sow discord between them. Xiao Baobao said she had also accidentally discovered this, and didn't expect that Yin Ji had gone to such lengths to keep Xie Yun. Xie Yun even had Xiao Baobao let her out, so that no one would be an eyesore in the manor from then on.
Xiao Baobao agreed, but she demanded that Xie Yun kneel down and perform a grand salute to her. Xie Yun didn't hesitate and immediately knelt on the ground begging Xiao Baobao. With Xiao Baobao's help, Xie Yun finally left the manor. The first thing she did was return to her own home. But now the house was empty and in ruins.
Xie Yun recalled the happy times when her family was together and she had bought gifts for her mother. All of that could never be reclaimed. As she walked to the pond, she saw three piles of withered grass, and Xie Yun had already guessed that her family members were buried there.
