> A Love Story of Oiled Paper Umbrella Recap
Meng Xizhou was extremely anxious to save Nan Fengyi and tried to transfer all her power to him. She recited a spell she remembered, and sure enough, she was drawn to Nan Fengyi’s side. Nan Fengyi was on the verge of being turned into a puppet spirit by Situ Hanshan, but Meng Xizhou’s actions immediately activated the power within him. Situ Hanshan was blasted far away, looking at Nan Fengyi in shock.
He remarked that Nan Fengyi’s body contained such immense demon power. Nan Fengyi responded that while he possessed demon power, he was nothing like Situ Hanshan. Meng Xizhou and Beigong Shuo stood watching Situ Hanshan when Du Yuelian arrived, ready to capture him. However, Situ Hanshan managed to escape again. Nan Fengyi realized that someone must be backing him. Nan Fengyi picked up Meng Xizhou to take her back, and Beigong Shuo asked about their relationship.
Nan Fengyi replied that they were master and disciple. Beigong Shuo questioned if such closeness was appropriate for a master-disciple relationship, but Nan Fengyi ignored him and left. Back at home, Nan Fengyi asked Meng Xizhou why she went there, knowing it would be dangerous. Meng Xizhou explained that she was so anxious to save him that she didn’t think about the risks. She then asked him why he cared about her but wouldn’t admit it.
She brought up the shoes he had specifically bought for her but lied, claiming they were for his sister. She also mentioned the flatbreads he got for her but pretended they were for the people at the Ministry of Justice. Meng Xizhou asked him directly, “Are you…? ” Before she could finish, Nan Fengyi interrupted, denying her question and quickly leaving. At the door, Nan Fengyi heard Meng Xizhou crying.
Using magic, he froze everything around him and walked back to Meng Xizhou, wiping away her tears. He thanked her for saving him and explained that he wanted their feelings to last longer. He didn’t want Meng Xizhou to lose interest in him so quickly. After saying this, he left. Time returned to normal, and Meng Xizhou touched her face, wondering why her tears were gone.
She decided not to bother with matters of the heart anymore and resolved to focus on her career. Meanwhile, Situ Hanshan went to Lord Li’s residence. Terrified at his arrival, Lord Li immediately stood up, exclaiming that Situ Hanshan was still alive. Situ Hanshan asked him if he had been wishing for his death. Lord Li nervously denied it, but Situ Hanshan, recalling his master’s words, vowed not to disappoint him again and promised to redeem himself.
Lord Li quickly declared that Situ Hanshan had always been his “big brother” and that he would do whatever he said. Situ Hanshan replied that in that case, he should always remain his “big brother. ” As he spoke, he implanted a parasite into Lord Li’s body. After ensuring everything was in order, Huo Xiao and Huo Ting arrived with their men to demand the account book from Lord Li.
Lord Li, unusually compliant, told them it was on the table and let them take it. Lord Li’s subordinates found his behavior strange, as did the officials from the Ministry of Justice, but without any evidence, they left. Back at the palace, Beigong Shuo returned and was scolded by the Emperor for leaving the palace without permission and putting himself in danger. Furious, the Emperor threatened to cancel Beigong Shuo’s coming-of-age ceremony.
The Empress intervened, pleading on his behalf and promising to arrange for a selection of candidates for the Crown Princess in a few days. Beigong Shuo argued that he was still young and mentioned his feelings for Meng Xizhou. He then instructed his attendants, Pingping and Guanguan, to investigate Meng Xizhou’s background. Pingping read out the information they had gathered about Meng Xizhou. Beigong Shuo admired how independent she was, relying on no one but herself.
He also learned that Meng Xizhou lived in the house where Nan Fengyi made umbrellas. Determined to find her, Beigong Shuo planned to leave the palace and went to see the Empress. At that moment, he overheard Lord Li proposing a location to produce tribute umbrellas. Beigong Shuo entered the room and expressed his approval of the idea, suggesting that he could find a local workshop to make the umbrellas.
He mentioned that he had a friend whose family specialized in umbrella-making. The Empress asked if this friend was male or female. Beigong Shuo admitted she was female, and the Empress immediately guessed it was Meng Xizhou. Beigong Shuo then asked if he could leave the palace.
