Blooming Days Episode 17 Recap
> Blooming Days Recap
Luo Qinglian's child didn't survive; he passed away. She knelt at He Lianxin's doorstep, holding the child. When He Lianxin woke up and learned about what happened the previous night, he was also deeply saddened. However, Luo Qinglian held a grudge against him for saying that he wasn't worthy of being a mother. He Lianxin explained that it was just an angry remark and that he genuinely cared for Luo Qinglian. But she had lost all hope in him, believing he had been insincere. He Lianxin, in frustration, questioned if Luo Qinglian's feelings for Lu Beiyi were genuine, and in a fit of anger, Luo Qinglian decided to sever all ties with He Lianxin. She took off the ring and threw it, causing it to hit a stone pillar and break in two. Then she fainted.
When Luo Qinglian regained consciousness, she asked He Lianxin to demote her to a commoner and let her move to another residence, and He Lianxin agreed. Yigongzi was very surprised to learn about this, as he hadn't expected He Lianxin to agree so easily. After all, Luo Qinglian still had a significant role in front of Lord An, and this decision would be hard to explain to Lord An.
Before leaving, both Lady Rong and Lady Rou came to see her off. Although Luo Qinglian had lost all hope, Lady Rou reminded her that this wasn't an accident; it was a conspiracy by Nan Ruzhen. However, Lady Rou didn't know the exact methods used by Nan Ruzhen. She mentioned that to find justice, one would have to seek it themselves. Luo Qinglian noted Lady Rou's words, determined to live and seek revenge for her deceased child.
Zhan Yu received a box of items from her master. Her older brother was also given a small official position by their master. This way, their family would have a better life. Zhan Yu knew that she didn't have much time left, but she had no regrets about trading her life for her family's honor.
Lord An learned about Luo Qinglian losing her child and being expelled. He asked He Lianxin for an explanation. Lord An was well aware of He Lianxin's actions the previous night, but He Lianxin hadn't restricted anyone from coming in or going out. Lord An brought the information about Zhan Yu falsely relaying orders to him. She chose to take her own life but left a note shifting the blame to the eldest son, also writing that she killed Luo Qinglian's unborn child. The eldest son had no knowledge of these events and didn't even know Zhan Yu. He realized that the fourth son had framed him, but no matter how he explained, Lord An refused to believe him.
To protect the eldest son, Yuan Baili stepped up and took the blame for him. Seeing the situation unfold, Lord An understood that the matter was more complicated. He decided to imprison the eldest son temporarily, while Yuan Baili's fate would be discussed later. The incident brought He Lianxin's attention to the fourth son. Afterward, Lord An found Yuan Baili to have a drink. Yuan Baili had been by Lord An's side for many years. He had once helped Lord An leave the capital and had been his right-hand man after they arrived in Qu Liang. Lord An thanked him for taking the blame for the eldest son, but Yuan Baili refused, unwilling to tarnish his own reputation because of the eldest son.
Yuan Baili felt that he was in his twilight years and that his only wish was for the eldest son to be safe. He hoped that Lord An would bestow a heavy punishment on him. Lord An had a drink and then left. When Luo Qinglian arrived at the Southern Suburb Residence, she found that the door had been broken, knowing it was the work of Mu Haiyao. The house she was assigned was particularly run-down, and Dongli couldn't bear to see her in such conditions.
