Episode 22 recap: Liu Ruoqian defended Jiang Suoluo.
Jiang Suoluo felt like he was never in Liu Ruoqian's eyes, and Shang Bieli felt that this kind of struggle seemed meaningless. Jiang Suoluo was also unhappy, feeling that maybe in Shang Bieli's eyes, he was just like a child, only capable of willfulness. The people from the Hanlin Academy believed that women should obey their fathers and should not come out to show themselves, and Liu Ruoqian stepped forward to refute this.
Yan Nanxing took out a coin and said that no matter how much money Jiang Xinbai's mother gave her, she could give Jiang Xinbai's mother more and still have an extra coin, which made Jiang Xinbai's mother very angry. Jiang Xinbai and Yan Qingyun waited outside, and Yan Qingyun was also very worried, not knowing what would happen inside. Jiang Xinbai said that they should just let his mother and Yan Nanxing argue, and then they would have said what was on their minds and everything would be fine.
Sure enough, Jiang Xinbai's mother and Yan Nanxing started arguing inside. Jiang Xinbai's mother said that she had treated Yan Nanxing as a friend, but she didn't expect Yan Nanxing to seduce her son. Yan Nanxing said that she had thought the mother was a person of great justice, but she turned out to be an evil mother-in-law who broke up a couple. Not only did they argue, but they also got into a physical fight. Jiang Xinbai and Yan Qingyun hurried in and pulled them apart.
After going back, Jiang Xinbai's mother felt that she was not actually that kind of person. Shang Bieli and Jiang Suoluo met, and Jiang Suoluo asked who had fixed Shang Bieli's nose, and Shang Bieli could only say it was Yan Nanxing. Jiang Suoluo was also very upset about this. Shang Bieli said that previously Jiang Xinbai had saved him, so now he and Jiang Xinbai were no longer enemies.
Jiang Suoluo became even more unhappy, feeling that as long as there was anything involving Jiang Xinbai, he would always be an outsider. Jiang Suoluo felt that he was never in Liu Ruoqian's eyes, Shang Bieli felt that this kind of struggle seemed meaningless, and Jiang Suoluo was also very unhappy, feeling that maybe in Shang Bieli's eyes, he was just like a child, only capable of willfulness.
Jiang Suoluo said that no matter what others thought, his friendship with Shang Bieli would never change. Mr. Cui from the Hanlin Academy believed that women should obey their fathers and should not come out to show themselves, and Liu Ruoqian stepped forward to refute this. Liu Ruoqian said that the emperor was benevolent and just, without distinction between men and women.
Mr. Cui discovered that Liu Ruoqian was of slave origin and mocked him, but Liu Ruoqian stated that even slaves could enter the Hanlin Academy and become officials, as the Emperor had said. Mr. Cui did not dare to argue against the Emperor's words.
Shang Bielie told Jiang Xinbai about what he had discovered, that the grandson of Lord Lu was making forged paintings. Jiang Xinbai mentioned the recent actions of the Ministry of Personnel, who were originally planning to send people to the River Barbarians but ended up going to Tingzhou instead, suggesting Tingzhou was the more important place.
Jiang Xinbai and the others did not want to leave the capital, but the Southern General offered to go and take a look. Today, a farewell banquet for a teacher was held at the prince's manor, and Jiang Xinbai wanted to go back to take a look, asking Yan Biqing to wait for him as he had something to discuss.
Yan Biqing told Jiang Xinbai's mother that he and Jiang Shuolv had become engaged, hoping the mother would approve. The mother was very upset, but did not say anything in front of others. She later called Jiang Shuolv and scolded him, feeling he was too frivolous. Jiang Shuolv said Yan Biqing had helped him a lot, and the mother asked if he liked Yan Biqing, to which Jiang Shuolv replied no. The mother said no one could force Jiang Shuolv to marry if he did not want to.
Jiang Xinbai felt Jiang Shuolv did not need to do this to spite him. Jiang Shuolv said he did not want to be lectured by Jiang Xinbai anymore. Jiang Xinbai returned and told Yan Nanxing that it was a full moon tonight, and he wanted to see Yan Nanxing transform, but Yan Nanxing did not transform that night.
Jiang Xinbai's mother came and unexpectedly saw Yan Nanxing.
