Blooming Days Episode 4 Recap
> Blooming Days Recap
Lord An agreed to He Lianxin's request, but he emphasized that Luo Qinglian should be made a concubine, not treated as a servant. This pleased He Lianxin greatly. Before returning home, he went to meet Lu Beiyi, who was drowning his sorrows in alcohol. Lu Beiyi wanted to redeem himself and avoid a life of servitude, and He Lianxin offered to help, surprising Lu Beiyi.
Luo Qinglian was tied up and placed in a sedan chair, which was carried into He Lianxin's courtyard. She had no intention of staying there, so as soon as she stepped out of the sedan chair, she removed her head covering. Mu Haiyao considered her to be disrespectful and wanted to punish her. He Lianxin's other wives, secondary wives, and maidservants watched, with some supporting Mu Haiyao's decision and others choosing to remain silent. Fortunately, He Lianxin's legitimate wife, Fang Huairui, arrived in time to prevent Luo Qinglian from being punished. Unlike Mu Haiyao, Fang Huairui was kind and gentle. Combined with her status as the legitimate wife, the other wives dared not go against her.
Mu Haiyao wanted to instigate a rebellion against Luo Qinglian being made a concubine, but they were interrupted by the arrival of He Lianxin and Lord An's attendant. The attendant read Lord An's decree, and since it was his wish, the other wives didn't dare to oppose it further. In the evening, He Lianxin went to Luo Qinglian's room. He knew whom she was thinking about, so he took her to see Lu Beiyi, who was cleaning horse dung. When Lu Beiyi accidentally made a mess, the steward ordered him to pick it up with his hands. Seeing this, Luo Qinglian was filled with sorrow.
He Lianxin had intentionally arranged for Lu Beiyi to work at his residence to keep Luo Qinglian in check, but as long as Lu Beiyi cooperated, He Lianxin would help him escape servitude when the opportunity arose. The Crown Prince came to the residence to celebrate the promotion of the fourth prince to a higher title. However, the fourth prince heard about the promotion, and this time it was the third prince who was promoted. He was an idle person who hadn't accomplished anything, which surprised He Lianchu. He suspected that Luo Qinglian was behind this. When He Lianchu was worried, his attendant Song An informed him that he had a fellow townsman working as a maidservant in He Lianxin's residence, living unhappily. He suggested that they could make use of her. He Lianchu found this proposal reasonable.
He Lianxin sent someone to Luo Qinglian's family to arrange for a maidservant. Dongli was chosen to go to He Lianxin's residence. Upon arriving, she saved Luo Qinglian from a staged accident involving a flowerpot placed in their path. Luo Qinglian was glad that Dongli was there to accompany her, as she now had someone she could trust at the residence. As for the flowerpot incident, she had an inkling of Mu Haiyao's intentions, but she didn't explain and simply admitted her fear of cats, which was why she accidentally pushed it over, resulting in the death of the cat. She asked Lady Fang Huairui to punish her. Fang Huairui was moved by Luo Qinglian's candor and decided not to punish her. Mu Haiyao was surprised by Luo Qinglian's admission that she had killed the cat.
In the evening, Luo Qinglian planned to escape. However, Huier suddenly rushed in, wanting to take her to confront their father and have him punish her. Huier remembered what Luo Qinglian had told her before, and she realized that Luo Qinglian was not to blame. Thus, she chose to believe Luo Qinglian. Since Luo Qinglian was not responsible for the cat's death, it had to be Mu Haiyao. Huier went to confront Mu Haiyao, who was in a hurry to catch Luo Qinglian. She pushed Huier, and Huier accidentally hit her head on a cabinet, resulting in her death. Mu Haiyao panicked, and one of her maids wanted to frame Luo Qinglian for this. She convinced Mu Haiyao to go after Luo Qinglian while she placed Huier's body in Luo Qinglian's room.
