Blooming Days Episode 5 Recap
> Blooming Days Recap
The legitimate wife held Huier's lifeless body, grieving and crying, and He Lianxin arrived at the scene. Huier was their only son, and he was gone. The legitimate wife couldn't accept this outcome and believed that Luo Qinglian had killed Huier. She demanded that Luo Qinglian be executed, but He Lianxin stopped her and had someone take her back to her room to rest.
Mu Haiyao and her maidservant, Lan'er, acted together and successfully shifted suspicion onto Luo Qinglian. He Lianxin believed that Huier had blocked the escape of Luo Qinglian and Lu Beiyi, so he took action. He decided to sink the two of them into the Unxi Pool. His attendants reminded him to remember Lord An's words, and He Lianxin didn't want to let Luo Qinglian pay with her life so easily for Huier's death. Luo Qinglian requested He Lianxin's permission to investigate the murderer, promising that if she couldn't find the culprit, she would be buried with Huier.
He Lianxin had Lu Beiyi locked up and deprived him of food and water until Luo Qinglian found the truth. Luo Qinglian went to see the legitimate wife, but she was unwilling to see her. Luo Qinglian knelt outside the door, expressing that everyone saw Huier as a privileged child, but she believed that Huier was very unfortunate, deprived of his parents' love and ordinary childhood happiness, and no one genuinely cared for him. Luo Qinglian questioned whether the legitimate wife, as Huier's mother, would want to see her child die unjustly.
The legitimate wife allowed Luo Qinglian to enter the room. With the legitimate wife's help, Luo Qinglian gained the authority to question the servants. She only asked if Lan'er was Mu Haiyao's personal maidservant and then let her go. However, she kept Ru Hua for two hours. Mu Haiyao was worried about Ru Hua making a mistake, so she went to find her. Fortunately, Ru Hua arrived in time; otherwise, she might have revealed the truth. Mu Haiyao had Ru Hua taken away to interrogate her. Even when Luo Qinglian tried to intervene, Mu Haiyao ignored her.
Dongli felt that they were so close to discovering the murderer, but Luo Qinglian told her that she had already found out. She had no hope that Ru Hua would confess. She was waiting for the person behind the scenes, who couldn't sit still. It turned out to be Mu Haiyao. Luo Qinglian went to see Rong Bu, asking if she had seen anything that night. Rong Bu claimed that she hadn't. Luo Qinglian knew that Rong Bu must have seen something but didn't want to say. She chose not to press the issue.
On the day of Huier's burial, Luo Qinglian had Dongli hide under the coffin to speak as Huier. She hoped to catch Mu Haiyao off guard and see her reaction. Mu Haiyao panicked, and the legitimate wife noticed. He Lianxin also observed this but didn't say anything. They decided to proceed with Huier's burial.
Afterward, at Song An's request, Lan'er put poison in Luo Qinglian's teapot. Luo Qinglian brought the legitimate wife to her room and made sure she was the only one who drank the water. Later, she took the legitimate wife to see another maidservant, Lady Rong, hoping that she would tell the truth about what she saw that night. When Lady Rong was hesitant, the legitimate wife threatened to use torture. To protect Lady Rong, Luo Qinglian asked the legitimate wife for time to persuade her. Eventually, Lady Rong revealed that someone had carried a sack into Luo Qinglian's room that night. The sack was about the size of a child, but it was dark, and she couldn't identify the person. Luo Qinglian fell ill from the poison, and the doctor believed there was no chance of recovery. She hoped that Lady Rong would go to find Lu Beiyi. Lu Beiyi had not eaten or drunk anything for several days, and he was also in critical condition. In an effort to save Luo Qinglian, Lady Rong risked her life to bring Lu Beiyi water. After Lu Beiyi regained consciousness, he shared the method to save Luo Qinglian with Lady Rong.
