Episode 7 recap: The misunderstanding between Xiao Yao and Tu Shan Jing has been resolved.
Xiao Yao chatted with the elderly Sweet'er, and through Sweet'er's words, Xiao Yao suspected that the reason she and Tu Shan Jing had come to this point was because of her own fault. Xiao Yao stood up and left, rubbing Sweet'er's face, telling her she had done a good job, and that the young master would definitely regret marrying her, and that she and Lao Mu were also very happy.
Sweet'er looked at Xiao Yao, extremely shocked, and softly asked her who she was, but Xiao Yao did not answer, and turned around and left with Xiang Liu. Sweet'er looked at Xiao Yao's back, realizing that this was Sixth Brother, she choked and called out "Sixth Brother", then kneeled down and kowtowed.
Xiao Yao didn't know why Xiang Liu wanted to steal the wedding, and later learned from Xiang Liu's explanation that it was Tu Shan Jing who had hired him, but Xiang Liu did not want money, he only asked Tu Shan Jing to promise to provide 37 years of rations for the Chenrong Militia.
But Tu Shan Jing hoped that Xiang Liu would complete the wedding theft before the wedding, and not let more people know, in order to minimize the damage. However, Xiang Liu said he didn't need Tu Shan Jing to worry about how he would complete the task, he just needed to do it. Xiang Liu promised to let Xiao Yao leave, and told her not to reveal that he was the Phoenix Mansion's, otherwise he would make her heartbroken to death, after all, the curse was still there.
After saying this, he demonstrated it on the spot, and Xiao Yao was heartbroken and unable to stand, collapsing to the ground. It was then that Xiao Yao finally understood the reason why Xiang Liu was unwilling to break the curse. He was plotting against her. Xiang Liu didn't say much, just said he was always like this, and then left, leaving Xiao Yao alone.
Xiao Yao found Yu Xin and asked him to take her to Qingqiu to find Tu Shan Jing. Yu Xin noticed Xiao Yao's extraordinary bearing and decided to take her to Qingqiu. Xiang Liu looked at Xiao Yao's departing back with a relieved expression on his face - the Phoenix Mansion had died, and he would give Xiao Yao a long-term companion.
Hao Ling Jiu Yao unexpectedly visited the Tushanfu, and Jingye, seeing this, quickly conveyed the news to Tu Shan Jing. Knowing of Jiu Yao's arrival, a sense of indescribable joy swelled in Tu Shan Jing's heart, and he hurriedly tidied his appearance, eager to welcome her in the best state. However, when Hao Ling Jiu Yao entered the mansion, a complex emotion welled up in her heart, and the shy feeling of returning home made her regret her impulsiveness and develop the idea of leaving.
She tried to quietly sneak away through the window frame, but accidentally stumbled. In this crucial moment, Tu Shan Jing arrived in time and steadily supported her. Hao Ling Jiu Yao hurriedly explained that she was angered by Xiang Liu's matter and came here impulsively. But Tu Shan Jing seemed not to have fully heard her explanation, and just looked at her tenderly, his eyes filled with gentleness and concern.
He cleverly invited her to stay the night, citing that the night was already deep, and used his magic to make the sky suddenly plummet into a blizzard, as if the whole world was cheering for their reunion. Faced with this scene, Hao Ling Jiu Yao finally agreed to stay, but she also had countless words she wanted to confess. She softly told Tu Shan Jing that she had something to tell him, and upon hearing this, Tu Shan Jing's face blossomed with a gentle smile, responding that he also had a lot on his mind to share with her.
So, on this snowy night, the two hearts quietly drew near, ready to embark on a heartfelt conversation. Xi Yan Qiang Xuan's subordinates noticed that there were frequent carriages entering and leaving the Tushanfu, and Qiang Xuan shrewdly deduced that Hao Ling Jiu Yao must be inside the Tushanfu at this moment, and they were very likely to have been staying in Qingshui Town recently.
So he immediately dispatched his confidant to the Tushanfu to retrieve Hao Ling Jiu Yao, and also sent a team to Qingshui Town to thoroughly investigate Hao Ling Jiu Yao's whereabouts and experiences in the past few days.
Inside the Tu Shan manor, Hao Ling Jiu Yao opened her heart to Tu Shan Jing. She confessed that she had been quietly watching over him all these years, and revealed the true face of Fang Feng Yi Ying, pointing out her hypocrisy, cunning, and deep calculations.
Feeling deeply regretful, Hao Ling Jiu Yao apologized to Tu Shan Jing. She lamented that although she knew Fang Feng Yi Ying would exploit his kindness, she failed to take timely action, instead placing all the responsibility on him. She recalled how they could have overcome the difficulties together, but her own distrust and arrogance had led him to fight alone, eventually falling into a trap.
Tears flowed from Hao Ling Jiu Yao's eyes like a spring. Tu Shan Jing tightly embraced her, comforting her that none of this was her fault, but his own failure to fulfill his promise to her. In their heartfelt confessions, although they regretted that past mistakes could not be undone, their inner turmoil was finally resolved. However, at that moment, Tu Shan Jing suddenly started coughing violently, even coughing up blood, causing great alarm in Hao Ling Jiu Yao.
She quickly checked his pulse and found his injuries were far more serious than imagined. Jing explained that this was due to Tu Shan Jing's long-term pining for Hao Ling Jiu Yao. Tu Shan Jing stopped Jing from further explanation and asked the others to leave, leaving only him and Hao Ling Jiu Yao.
Hao Ling Jiu Yao, pained and self-blaming, embraced Tu Shan Jing and decided to prepare a prescription for him to rest and recover. Tu Shan Jing gratefully accepted her kindness and gifted her the precious Fishscale Purple Cinnabar as a consultation fee. Just as their emotions intertwined, people sent by Xi Yan Qiang Xuan arrived.
Hao Ling Jiu Yao took the Fishscale Purple Cinnabar, her heart filled with mixed emotions. Although reluctant, Tu Shan Jing still smiled and watched her leave with the arrivals. Meanwhile, Xiang Liu's adoptive father was inspecting the food and supplies, curiously inquiring about their source. Xiang Liu spoke evasively, only revealing that West Yan might soon take action, urging them to be prepared.
Seeing this, the adoptive father did not pursue the matter further. When Hao Ling Jiu Yao returned home, her grandfather was furious and questioned her about Fang Weiye. She calmly responded that Fang Weiye had passed away, unwilling to discuss it further. Xi Yan Qiang Xuan skillfully maneuvered the situation, finding a reasonable excuse for Jiu Yao's elopement to appease her grandfather. Between the two, they silently understood the mystery surrounding Fang Weiye and Xiang Liu, yet they discretely kept it a secret.
Alone, Jiu Yao's heart was unsettled, grateful for Qiang Xuan's assistance, yet uncertain about the future. But she knew that as a member of the Hao Ling family, she must face all challenges with strength.
