《The Willow Boat》E13
Episode 13
With Liu Miantang's gentle company, Cui Xingzhou tasted the sweetness of ordinary life for the first time, and he realized that the feeling of being deeply missed by someone was so warm.He walked far to the south bank and made a vision to Liu Miantang. When the King of Huaiyang returned in triumph, they would be able to welcome the joy of reunion from that horizon.Liu Miantang's heart was moved, but he also asked worriedly about the consequences of losing. Cui Xingzhou's eyes dimmed slightly and he sighed softly: "If that day comes, maybe I can only wrap my body in my shirt and return my soul to my homeland."%
As night fell, Liu Miantang took out the cover of the marriage book that he had sewn by himself and invited Cui Xingzhou to write about the future together.He wanted to refuse because of the night, but he saw that she had already prepared the text and only needed him to copy it.So, he held her tightly in his arms, and by the faint candlelight, he carved their vows word by word.When the rooster crows and Liu Miantang falls asleep peacefully, Cui Xingzhou quietly gets up and embarks on his journey.
When the morning light first came, Liu Miantang woke up. What lay on the table was not the expected marriage letter, but a divorce letter with heart-felt words.Cui Xingzhou couldn't bear her being involved in the war, so he made this decision reluctantly.After Liu Miantang read it, instead of complaining, he quickly called his nanny to prepare for a long trip.The mother-in-law mistakenly thought that she wanted to return to her parents' family, but she saw that she was determined to follow Cui Xingzhou to Qizhou.
On the way, the ambush set by Sun Yun'er was easily resolved by the shadow guards arranged by Cui Xingzhou, and Liu Miantang even went into battle in person, showing off his heroic appearance.Cui Xingzhou came over after hearing the news and changed into a guard's attire. He felt mixed feelings in his heart. He felt Liu Miantang's tenacity but also felt guilty for his arrangement.When the two met, he apologized profusely, but Liu Miantang only blamed him for imitating the King of Huaiyang and giving up so easily.
On the other side, Zhao Quan visited the He family to borrow food and grass, but unexpectedly encountered a misunderstanding.He Zhen's brother mistakenly kidnapped Zhao Quan to his sister's boudoir with the intention of ruining his reputation.Fortunately, the master of the He family returned in time, scolded the traitor, and rescued Zhao Quan.Later, Zhao Quan talked about business with Mr. He, but due to a misunderstanding between the He family and his son, he mistakenly thought that Zhao Quan intended to propose marriage, so he readily agreed and generously waived the fee.Although Zhao Quan was surprised, he went along with the situation. Both parties were very happy, but they didn't know how many mistakes were hidden behind this misunderstanding.
