Episode 14 recap: Pei Wen Xuan returned home and unfortunately faced family discipline.
Shang Guan Ya was still telling Li Rong how she and Su Rong Qing could cultivate feelings for each other, while Pei Wen Xuan was standing nearby feeling very jealous, and even constantly arguing with Shang Guan Ya. Li Rong didn't know what to say.Li Rong felt that what Shang Guan Ya said made a lot of sense. In fact, they should sometimes find a middleman to communicate, so that it would be easier to carry out the work of the Ministry of Justice. Pei Wen Xuan didn't want Li Rong and Su Rong Qing to be together, after all, it couldn't be confirmed yet that Li Rong liked Su Rong Qing, but Li Rong deliberately said that feelings could be cultivated, just to irritate Pei Wen Xuan.
Li Rong always felt that Pei Wen Xuan's mood was not right today, and Pei Wen Xuan also told Li Rong not to hurt himself because of these matters. Pei Wen Xuan was worried that Su Rong Qing would definitely implicate him at the court session the next day. Li Rong didn't verbally express concern for Pei Wen Xuan, but his words and actions were intended to reduce Pei Wen Xuan's workload.
Now all the testimonies need to be transcribed, and the testimonies at that time were obtained through severe punishment of the witnesses, which could be considered forced confessions. A thousand taels of gold wanted to buy the whole Qin family, and they now need to find the people who participated in the battle back then. In short, Pei Wen Xuan just didn't want Li Rong to have anything to do with Su Rong Qing anymore.
Pei Wen Xuan went to see his superior, and Pei Wen Xuan's biggest ideal was to give everyone a fair chance. Su Rong Qing still thought of Li Rong from time to time, and Su Rong Hua came to chat with his brother Su Rong Qing. In fact, Su Rong Qing could see that his brother had someone he liked, but he hadn't said it yet, and Su Rong Qing also told his brother that if he had someone he liked, he could tell him.
Pei Wen Xuan learned that Li Rong was in a bad mood and prepared to go in and persuade him, but he just happened to see Li Rong falling asleep while looking at the files. Li Rong was still too tired now, and Pei Wen Xuan found that whether in the past or now, what he longed for was the feeling of having someone to accompany him when he returned home.
Li Rong had been waiting for Pei Wen Xuan to come back, and when Li Rong saw Pei Wen Xuan come back, he could finally rest assured. Li Rong also said that Pei Wen Xuan should not get angry because of Su Rong Qing in the future, and at the same time said that he should try with Su Rong Qing, but he was also angry, and Pei Wen Xuan didn't know what was wrong with him.
Su Rong Hua went to see Shang Guan Ya, and Shang Guan Ya and Su Rong Hua made a bet. Shang Guan Ya wanted Su Rong Hua to get his brother to come out, as Li Rong still had something to say to Su Rong Qing.
In the end, the two decided to settle the score with a game of leaf cards, but Shang Guan Ya still lost. As a result, Shang Guan Ya had to dress up in women's clothes to show Li Rong. Li Rong also made Pei Wen Xuan and Su Rong Hua bet, and if Pei Wen Xuan lost, he would have to have a meal with Shang Guan Ya. Su Rong Hua readily agreed.
Shang Guan Ya was dealing the cards nearby, and Pei Wen Xuan agreed to the bet. If he lost, Su Rong Hua would have to invite Su Rong Qing out tonight. Afterwards, Li Rong also praised Pei Wen Xuan nearby.
The next morning, when Pei Wen Xuan was preparing to go to the court, an subordinate informed him that his mother was seriously ill. The subordinate told Pei Wen Xuan that someone must be deliberately creating trouble, so he should wait at the palace gate. When Li Rong came out, he should tell her to come find him quickly and bring some troops.
After getting dressed up, Li Rong prepared to meet Su Rong Qing. Shang Guan Ya said that Li Rong's aura was too powerful, as they had originally wanted Li Rong to act like a weak woman, but Li Rong was not accustomed to that. Su Rong Qing was going to meet Li Rong and had specially gone out to buy her a gift.
Originally, Su Rong Hua suggested buying jewelry, but Su Rong Qing felt that was not quite right, so he decided to buy flowers instead. When Pei Wen Xuan returned home, he saw his mother hesitating nearby. The family elders wanted to criticize Pei Wen Xuan for instigating Li Rong to establish the Supervisory Department. Pei Wen Xuan directly told his uncle that if they had any dissatisfaction with him, they could just tell him directly.
The mother also stood up and told her son to go back and persuade Li Rong not to be an enemy of the noble families. The Qin family's case should also not be continued. Pei Wen Xuan naturally would not easily give up. Pei Wen Xuan's mother was very emotional, and he knew that it was definitely his uncles who had given his mother this idea.
Pei Wen Xuan was beaten up for refusing to admit wrongdoing. Li Rong was originally going to meet Su Rong Qing, but after learning that Pei Wen Xuan had been called back home, she directly came to the Pei Mansion. At this time, Pei Wen Xuan was already covered in wounds. When Li Rong saw the injured Pei Wen Xuan, she also became very angry and directly hit Pei Wen Xuan's uncle.
Li Rong's attitude was also very clear - the Pei family had only reached their current position because of Pei Wen Xuan's father. If Pei Wen Xuan had not married her, perhaps he would still be a minor official. Li Rong gave them a stern warning. The uncle said that Li Rong was impolite, but Li Rong gave everyone a warning. Afterwards, she supported the injured Pei Wen Xuan and left.
