Blooming Days Episode 24 Recap
> Blooming Days Recap
Lan'er's disposition changed significantly, as she proactively cared for Luo Qinglian and wanted to forget the past, reconciling with her sister. He Lianxin naturally learned about Luo Qinglian's pregnancy. Although he complained that she had kept it from him, he was ultimately happy because they were having another child.
Li Tang, preoccupied with grief over his pet, Little Black's death, accidentally scattered soil on Lan'er's foot while cleaning up the mess from a broken vase. Lan'er scolded him, and Li Tang began to argue back. Surprisingly, Luo Qinglian punished a servant for the first time, making Li Tang kneel until she gave the order for him to stand.
Later that evening, it started raining, but Li Tang continued to kneel without begging for forgiveness. Luo Qinglian didn't show any intention of letting him stand, and Dongli and Zhiyue watched with sympathy. Zhiyue secretly brought food to Li Tang, thinking it was at Luo Qinglian's request. When Li Tang learned that Luo Qinglian and Lan'er were already resting, he was very upset, feeling that his loyalty couldn't compare to the deep bond between the sisters.
Song Daqi noticed Li Tang's punishment and informed South Ru Zhen. South Ru Zhen needed a trustworthy servant, and she saw this as an opportunity to expedite Luo Qinglian's downfall. Song Daqi intentionally invited Li Tang for a drink, and Li Tang ended up saying some things he shouldn't have, including criticisms of Luo Qinglian and South Ru Zhen. South Ru Zhen believed Li Tang shouldn't have criticized her and suspected it might not be an act, so she bribed Song Daqi to bring Li Tang to meet her.
Li Tang went with Song Daqi to see South Ru Zhen, and Zhiyue witnessed this. She reported it to Luo Qinglian, who believed that Li Tang was loyal and wouldn't betray her. She pretended to remain calm and waited for Li Tang to return. South Ru Zhen produced poems that Li Tang had written before, showing that he had aspirations. In the past, talented individuals had been recommended for government positions, and as long as Li Tang served her well, she promised to help him obtain an official position.
Li Tang did indeed help South Ru Zhen. He secretly took the box Yuan Xue had given to Luo Qinglian, which only contained a wine flask. Nevertheless, since it was what Lady Si needed, South Ru Zhen considered it a successful task. When Li Tang returned to Lianwei Residence, he found Luo Qinglian standing in the courtyard. To his surprise, Luo Qinglian appeared to have betrayed him. He thought she was going to have someone beat him, but South Ru Zhen insisted on taking him away. Ultimately, Li Tang left with South Ru Zhen.
On the day of Luo Qinglian's delivery, everyone was tense, and even Lord An personally visited the mansion. This time, Luo Qinglian gave birth to a baby boy. Lord An was overjoyed and held his grandson, naming him He Nanzhao. He also granted a favor to the child: when he turned three, he would enter the royal palace, where Lord An would personally teach him. This was unprecedented, and some of the other wives weren't pleased, especially the main wife and South Ru Zhen, whose faces turned dark. Only Lady Rong and Lady Rou genuinely felt happy for Luo Qinglian, knowing the challenges she had faced to bring her child into the world. Lord An reminded He Lianxin that it was time to promote Luo Qinglian because the position of the side wife had been vacant for a long time.
South Ru Zhen accidentally discovered a mechanism in the box, revealing a leather map inside. She couldn't understand it but knew it was Lady Si's weakness. She informed her maid to reply to Lady Si, saying the item hadn't been obtained yet and to be patient. During South Ru Zhen's childbirth, the midwife fainted, and everyone feared the worst. However, Luo Qinglian arrived to assist her, and South Ru Zhen successfully delivered her child. Unfortunately, Luo Qinglian fainted in the process. He Lianxin, deeply concerned for Luo Qinglian, continued to care for her and paid no attention to South Ru Zhen. Lady Rong had not expected Luo Qinglian to react this way. Luo Qinglian had to ensure that South Ru Zhen's child was born for the events to proceed as planned. They guessed that South Ru Zhen had been complacent for too long and should now taste some bitterness.
