Blooming Days Episode 22 Recap
> Blooming Days Recap
Luo Qinglian refused to share the bed, falsely claiming that she wasn't feeling well. He Lianxin found it strange that she had come without being invited, which made Luo Qinglian a bit anxious. She quickly lay down pretending to be unwell, but He Lianxin still noticed the fabric hidden under her blanket. He realized that Luo Qinglian was pretending to be sick, but he mistakenly thought that she was secretly making clothes for him, possibly to surprise him.
Lord An dreamt of a qilin, and after consulting the court diviners, he learned that it was an auspicious sign, symbolizing the conception and birth of his offspring. It meant that a prince who could inherit the throne would be born. Lord An was very pleased, but when he inquired about it, all his sons claimed that their wives were not pregnant. Lord An sent people to investigate in various mansions.
Dongli received the news and quickly reported it to Luo Qinglian. They thought that this would be an excellent opportunity for Luo Qinglian to announce her pregnancy publicly. However, it was not the right moment for Luo Qinglian. In both the Young Master's mansion and the royal palace, the word "greed" was taboo. Perhaps it was a test from heaven. What she needed to do now was to remain calm.
Nan Ruzhen seized this opportunity deliberately, feigning nausea in front of the house manager. While her vomiting alone wouldn't prove anything, a physician's examination confirmed that she was two months pregnant. Lord An was delighted when he heard the news, which surprised He Lianxin. However, he didn't dare to dampen his father's spirits and remained silent.
Many of the other wives doubted Nan Ruzhen's claim of pregnancy, given that she hadn't shared the bed for a long time. So, the legal wife checked the household records. Coincidentally, Luo Qinglian, along with Lady Rong and Lady Rou, arrived at that moment. According to the records, it matched exactly with what the physician had said. However, Lady Rou noticed something unusual about the household records.
In addition to the good news about Nan Ruzhen's pregnancy, Lord An also made a marriage proposal for Yuan Xue. But Yuan Xue had her heart set on Lu Beiyi and didn't want to marry someone she didn't like. Before getting married, she met with Lu Beiyi and knew that he had someone on his mind, but she also had her own feelings. Unfortunately, no one could understand them. Fourth Young Master secretly visited Yuan Xue and gave her some poison to retrieve Lu Beiyi's belongings. Yuan Xue had taken a small box from Lu Beiyi, which was initially filled with wine flasks. However, it had a hidden compartment, containing something related to Fourth Young Master. To get the box back, Fourth Young Master said hurtful things to Yuan Xue, telling her that Lu Beiyi thought she was a dirty person. He also gave her some poison as a way out. As a result, Yuan Xue consumed the poison and fell into a coma while still inside the bridal sedan chair. Lord An was puzzled about why Yuan Xue didn't want to marry and why she didn't make a fuss. He was unaware of Lu Beiyi's unexpected appearance, lifting the sedan chair's curtain and discovering Yuan Xue in critical condition. Yuan Xue was promptly taken back to the royal palace, her life hanging in the balance. This angered Lord An greatly, and he no longer considered her as his daughter. She had acted so irresponsibly that she lost his trust among the officials, which had damaged his reputation. So, he decided not to see Yuan Xue. Lady Zheng, Yuan Xue's mother, begged Lord An from outside, fearing that this might be their final encounter. General Yu also tried to persuade Lord An, but he remained steadfast in his decision. He also scolded He Lianxin, telling him not to call him "father" anymore. He Lianxin realized that his father was furious, and at this moment, he couldn't say much and left.
