《The Willow Boat》E17
Episode 17
Liu Miantang's thoughts drifted back to the past. She quietly insinuated Cui Xingzhou and asked about every detail of her trip to Zhenzhou last year. Cui Xingzhou responded with fictitious stories. Liu Miantang's heart was clear but she did not reveal it.At the same time, Qiu Linxian was like a shadow in the dark night, silently watching Liu Miantang's every move.She took the pills in advance, held the wine glass in hand, and went to find Li's mother. Her words were full of gratitude for her past care.On the other side, in the prefect's mansion, Cui Xingzhou was invited to a banquet. He used his affair with the Rongbu to smuggle iron ore as bait to test the prefect's reaction. The prefect changed his face and became vague when he heard the words.Cui Xingzhou lied that A Gu Fan had revealed everything, but in fact he laid a trap.The Yamen servant took the opportunity to assassinate A Gu Fan, but he resisted vigorously.When the prefect heard A Gu Fan's confession, he was frightened, but Cui Xingzhou pressed forward step by step, demanding a confrontation in person, implying that there might be suspicion of silence.The general intervened, but the prefect saw that the situation was not good and fled into the backyard on the grounds of physical discomfort. He urgently ordered his wife to pack up her belongings and tried to escape, but he suddenly fell ill and died.Zhao Quan later discovered that there was poison hidden in the prefect's cup. The truth was revealed, and the mastermind behind the scenes was really eager to get rid of it.
In the dead of night, Liu Miantang stepped into the Pingyuan Escort Bureau, and the laughter and laughter with his brothers in the past seemed to still be in his ears.She recalled the deal with the old wolf master, forged her identity, and even gave her uncle the name Qiu Linxian.The sudden appearance of Mrs. Zhao interrupted her thoughts, and she welcomed her return with joy, but she did not expect that the bloody night would come quietly.Assassins poured in like a tide, and Zhao Po fell in a pool of blood. Liu Miantang witnessed this and was immediately rescued by the tide.The assassin's search was unsuccessful and no trace of Qiu Linxian could be found.Liu Miantang woke up in the box, and the memory fragments were pieced together one by one. She recognized the hands that pushed her into the cliff, and hatred surged into her heart.She finally recalled that the change in her past marriage was actually a scene directed by her uncle, just to help her escape the shackles of fate.She changed her name to Lu Wen and used the name of her concubine to plot secretly.And the shadow that assassinated Cui Xingzhou three years ago was actually herself.
Cui Xingzhou led everyone to the escort office, only to see devastation, the building was empty, and the account books were missing.An umbrella on the threshold was very similar to the one used by Liu Miantang, which made him suspicious.On the way home, he saw Mrs. Li lying drunk, while Liu Miantang was busy in the kitchen, preparing sobering soup for him.Faced with the “accident” umbrella, Liu Miantang downplayed it and resolved the embarrassment on the grounds that it was common in the market.In the dead of night, the two of them slept on the same bed. Liu Miantang induced Cui Xingzhou to recall the past. Although he made up a beautiful past, he could not hide his guilt.Liu Miantang's eyes were filled with tears, and she was moved by the fictitious happiness, but in fact, her heart was as sharp as a knife.Sitting alone in the study, she wrote quickly, trying to sort out the intricate clues. She already knew in her heart that Cui Xingzhou and her were enemies rather than friends, but now they are married, and their fate is unpredictable.
