Episode 7 recap: Luo Shen Yuan's Secret Assistance to Luo Yi Ning
In Episode 7, late at night, Luo Shen Yuan leads Luo Yi Ning into a hidden cave. There, Luo Yi Ning carefully tends to Luo Shen Yuan's wounds while asking about the troubles he faced during the day. Luo Shen Yuan slowly reveals that he was deeply taught by his mentor, Chen Jiu Heng, in his youth. Now that his mentor has met with misfortune, he vows to uncover the truth and seek justice on his behalf.
Luo Yi Ning, while not opposed to his desire for revenge, makes it clear that if this matter endangers the Luo family, she will not stand by idly. Luo Shen Yuan firmly promises to act cautiously and ensure that no innocent people are harmed.
The next morning, Luo Yi Ning returns to the Luo residence. Instead of being welcomed by her father's concern, she faces a stern reprimand from Luo Cheng Zhang, who scolds her for staying out all night, claiming it reflects poorly on the family’s reputation. Luo Yi Ning explains that she lost her way in the woods and was unable to return. Luo Cheng Zhang is clearly skeptical and is about to lash out when Luo Shen Yuan arrives just in time to confirm her story.
Though the others are reluctant, they cannot contest Luo Shen Yuan's testimony. However, Luo Cheng Zhang remains furious and wants to punish both of them by making them kneel in the ancestral hall. Fortunately, Lin Hai Ru intervenes, and the situation calms down.
Soon after, the family receives distressing news: their grandmother's old illness has resurfaced, and her condition is critical. The doctors are at a loss for a solution, but they mention that Doctor Du from the palace might offer a glimmer of hope. Hearing this, Luo Shen Yuan is reminded that Doctor Du is searching for a rare herb. He decides to head into the city immediately to seek Doctor Du's help, especially since he has just acquired a piece of ambergris.
Meanwhile, Luo Yi Ning anxiously waits outside Doctor Du's residence until nightfall, when Doctor Du's apprentice comes out to inform her that the doctor has been overworked and is currently unable to treat anyone.
Feeling helpless, Luo Yi Ning leaves a maid to relay messages while she resolutely stays outside Doctor Du's residence, vowing to wait until the doctor regains his strength.
At the same time, Luo Shen Yuan finds Doctor Du, presents the ambergris, and pleads for his assistance in saving their grandmother. Touched by his sincerity and recognizing the ambergris as a precious medicine, Doctor Du agrees to accompany Luo Shen Yuan back to the Luo residence.
After a tense treatment, the grandmother’s condition stabilizes, bringing relief to everyone. However, Luo Yi Ning remains on high alert. She suspects that the assassination attempt at Yuanjing Pavilion is connected to her stepmother. Although she lacks solid evidence, she warns her stepmother, saying, "Those who do evil will ultimately be punished," advising her to tread carefully.
As night falls, Luo Yi Ning keeps vigil by her grandmother's bedside, her mind racing with thoughts. She is acutely aware of the undercurrents within the Luo residence and the lurking dangers. To prevent any further mishaps, she instructs her maid to closely monitor her stepmother and her maid, Bi Yi. She senses that after the conspiracy was exposed during the day, her stepmother will be eager to eliminate any evidence.
Both Luo Yi Ning and Luo Shen Yuan are fighting on different fronts, each working hard toward their respective goals. They understand that only by unveiling the layers of mystery can the truth be revealed to the world.
