Episode 17 recap: Xie Yun saw her brother again.
Xie Yun's maidservant saw the disheveled man's true identity - he was actually Xie Yun's brother. The brother had her give something to Xie Yun, and when Xie Yun went to look, she realized her brother was still alive. The brother had asked to meet her that evening, and Xie Yun was extremely excited.
At this time, Yin Ji was still reviewing documents. After learning that Xie Yun had returned, he did not go out, instead planning to go find Xie Yun. The maidservant was anxiously pacing in the room, and when Yin Ji came in, he found that Xie Yun was not there, but the maidservant said Xie Yun was bathing, which Yin Ji knew was an excuse, but he still wanted to see what Xie Yun was up to.
However, at this moment, Qi Yan came with an urgent matter to find Yin Ji, so Yin Ji had no choice but to leave first. The ceremony of enfeoffment was not yet five days away, and Xie Yun still did not know about this. Qi Yan felt that he needed to tell Xie Yun the situation as soon as possible. Yin Ji was worried that if Xie Yun regained her memory afterwards, she might not be able to accept the consequences.
Yin Ji did not want Xie Yun to suffer, so he would hide it for as long as possible. Xie Yun finally saw the brother she had thought about day and night, and she was deeply saddened by her brother's destitute state.
The brother asked Xie Yun why she had married Yin Ji, when Yin Ji was actually their enemy.
Initially, the Xie family had been required to get close to Yin Ji and investigate the evidence of his rebellion. But then the old lord passed away, and Xie Yun's brother was also arrested. Xie Yun suddenly realized that her father did not commit suicide, but that Yin Ji had colluded with the Xiao family to frame the Xie family. It could be said that the Xie family's current plight was all because of Yin Ji.
During that harrowing moment, as they were being ruthlessly escorted to the execution grounds, they were suddenly attacked. Facing this unexpected crisis, Xie Yun unhesitatingly led her mother in a desperate escape, despite being filled with fear and unease. However, when Xie Yun regained consciousness, the sight before her was heart-wrenching - all her loved ones had perished, and only Yin Ji, holding that crucial video, stood alone at the suffocating scene, as the sole witness to the tragedy.
Naturally, Xie Yun felt that Yin Ji had framed everyone. When her brother returned, everyone was already dead, and only Xie Yun had been brought back. For these three years, Yin Ji's spies had been searching for Xie Yun's brother, forcing him to constantly evade them. But this time, he just happened to see Xie Yun going to her parents' grave, and the brother told her not to take it too seriously, as Yin Ji was simply using her.
