Episode 14 recap: The mother of Jiang Xinbai summoned Yan Nanxing and asked if he was the one who had kidnapped Jiang Xinbai.
Jiang Cuoluo said that in all these years, Jiang Xinbai had never declared war on him, and he was curious about how important Yan Nanxing was to Jiang Xinbai. Jiang Cuoluo mentioned that Jiang Xinbai had gotten engaged in the Hebian region, and the matchmakers were General Nan and the General's wife.
Tong Saier and the others were anxious and didn't know what to do. Bao Fu Ren said these were people from the Yuejiang King's Manor, and they didn't dare offend them, but they were also concerned about Jiang Xinbai.
When Jiang Xinbai's mother asked Yan Nanxing if he was the one who had kidnapped Jiang Xinbai, Yan Nanxing quickly explained that it was all a misunderstanding. Yan Nanxing said he was actually an undercover agent from the Central Capture Bureau, and he had to pretend to kidnap Jiang Xinbai due to the situation at the time.
Jiang Xinbai came and told his mother that if she had any issues, she could just ask him directly. Jiang Xinbai's mother asked about the Ghost Market incident, and Jiang Xinbai explained that there were circumstances at the time, and Yan Nanxing couldn't openly state the suspicions with the suspect present, so he had to pretend to kidnap him.
Jiang Xinbai's mother realized she had misunderstood Yan Nanxing, and they ended up discussing beauty and whitening together happily. Jiang Xinbai came to Jiang Cuoluo and said that if he had any issues, he could come to him directly without involving innocent people, as they were half-brothers, and he didn't want to argue.
Jiang Cuoluo said he was curious about how important Yan Nanxing was to Jiang Xinbai. Jiang Xinbai saw Jiang Cuoluo returning a gift, and expressed concern about what might happen in the next seven days before Jiang Cuoluo's appointment, as the Crown Prince had come of age but there were other princes, and Jiang Cuoluo was still needed.
Jiang Cuoluo and Shang Bielie met, and Jiang Cuoluo mentioned that Jiang Xinbai had gotten engaged in the Hebian region, with General Nan and his wife as the matchmakers, though they weren't sure who the bride was, guessing it might be Yan Nanxing. Shang Bielie only knew that anyone from the Yuejiang King's Manor who wanted to get married had to inform the Emperor, which Jiang Cuoluo was also aware of, feeling that Jiang Xinbai had never considered the family.
Jiang Euonymus told his mother about the matter, and his mother was also very surprised, but felt that it was a good thing for her son to have a wife. She just wanted to know who the other person was and what kind of person they were, but she didn't want to pry. Yan Nanxing came to recommend beauty products to Jiang Qinbai's mother, and Jiang Euonymus mentioned this matter, feeling that Yan Nanxing would be more convenient to inquire about the news.
Jiang Qinbai's mother also thought it was very reasonable, and asked Yan Nanxing to help. When Liu Ruoqian went to fetch water, he was shocked to discover Cao Zhanggui's body in the well. Jiang Qinbai brought people over. They found tea from the teahouse in Cao Zhanggui's mouth. Jiang Qinbai called Liu Ruoqian over to identify the will written by Cao Zhanggui, and Liu Ruoqian said that it was indeed Cao Zhanggui's handwriting, but Cao Zhanggui was not educated, so he should not have been able to write such words.
Because of the matter of Guicao, the emperor rewarded Jiang Qinbai with seven silver wares. The Prime Minister came to congratulate Jiang Qinbai, and Lord Lu said he wanted to invite Jiang Qinbai to dinner, but Jiang Qinbai said he needed to go to the teahouse. The next day at the teahouse, Jiang Qinbai said the tea was indeed good, but he didn't know how it would be in a dead person's mouth. Lord Lu mentioned Jiang Qinbai's father, who had investigated the Guicao matter in the past, and the witness who was originally supposed to come forward had been killed. Jiang Qinbai's father was also implicated in this matter and exiled to Yaozhou. After Jiang Qinbai left, Lord Lu and Lord Li felt that Jiang Qinbai was pointing fingers at them. Lord Li said they wouldn't sell those goods for now. Lord Li's son felt they would lose a lot of money, but Lord Li felt safety was more important.
