Blossom Episode 29 Recap
> Blossom Recap
Song Han used Miao Ansu's kindheartedness and deliberately acted in front of her. He prepared a few bowls of soup, claiming that it was something a mother-in-law would make for her daughter-in-law. Since his mother had already passed away, he made it himself. He even set up a memorial tablet for Song Yichun and offered his respects. His sincere words made him seem like someone deeply emotional and dutiful.
Miao Ansu, moved by his devotion, suggested placing the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall for worship. When Chen Qushui and Sulan heard about this, they rushed over to stop it. After all, Song Yichun was a convicted criminal, and worshipping her alongside the family would bring disgrace to the Song clan. They cursed Song Han, calling him a child born of shame, unworthy of being in the ancestral hall.
With Su Yan's instigation, Miao Ansu, feeling for Song Han, ordered Sulan to be punished with family discipline. Sulan, being highly skilled in martial arts, managed to resist, but when the Empress's name was invoked, Sulan did not dare fight back and submitted to the punishment. Dou Zhao arrived upon hearing the commotion and took the opportunity to strike Su Yan for her insolence. Unexpectedly, Song Han slapped Dou Zhao, pretending to take all the blame upon himself.
This further triggered Miao Ansu's compassion for Song Han. She turned against Dou Zhao, accusing her of not treating her as a true sister but merely pitying her. She even questioned why Dou Zhao allowed a maidservant to insult them as beasts. Dou Zhao was so angered that she fainted. Fortunately, Song Mo arrived in time to catch Dou Zhao and, holding her in his arms, sternly rebuked everyone for their actions against Dou Zhao.
He quickly summoned Lu Yuanpan to attend to Dou Zhao's health. Dou Zhao, already in poor health and struggling with fertility, surprisingly became pregnant this time, bringing joy to both her and Song Mo. Despite this, Song Mo worried about her health and suggested that she consider giving up the pregnancy. However, Dou Zhao insisted on keeping the child and had already picked a name for the baby. Song Mo, touched by Dou Zhao's resolve, cherished her even more deeply.
Dou Zhao went to the temple to pray for blessings and happened to overhear Miao Ansu praying for reconciliation between them and for Dou Zhao's good health. Remembering their long-standing sisterly bond, Dou Zhao decided not to hold a grudge. She intended to warn Miao Ansu about Song Han’s true nature to prevent her from being deceived.
Unexpectedly, Song Han arrived and gently draped a cloak over Miao Ansu’s shoulders, worried that she might catch a cold, and quickly sent her back. In private, Dou Zhao directly confronted Song Han, revealing that she had seen through his facade and intentions. She warned him not to betray Miao Ansu’s love and trust and to restrain his behavior, or else she would not let him go unpunished.
Song Han, unbothered, retorted that Dou Zhao was not the ultimate authority and could not control everything. If she overstepped, she might hurt herself in the process. Watching Song Han leave, Dou Zhao called him stubborn and incorrigible. Just then, someone reported that Qixia had awakened. Dou Zhao hurried over to see her. Ji Yong had treated Qixia with acupuncture, ensuring her recovery.
Dou Zhao decided to keep Qixia in her service, and Ji Yong volunteered to teach her the "Thirteen Ghost Needles" technique. When Dou Zhao asked if Ji Yong had anything else to say, he cryptically stated that today’s lesson would be the last. Dou Zhao uncovered Prince Qing's schemes, believing he would go to great lengths to keep Ji Yong.
Ji Yong, realizing he could not hide the truth from Dou Zhao, took her to a cave where fragments of a mirror lay scattered. This was the place where Dou Zhao and Ji Yong had first met. Ji Yong expressed his ambition to rebuild the kingdom and put someone he truly trusted on the throne.
Dou Zhao deduced that the chaos caused by the bandits entering the city was also Ji Yong’s doing and condemned him for treating human lives as expendable. She asked if he also disregarded her life. Ji Yong admitted he would never let Dou Zhao die or sacrifice herself for the pawns in his game. Dou Zhao questioned who among her inner circle was loyal to Prince Qing, but Ji Yong refused to answer.
Enraged by Ji Yong’s actions, Dou Zhao severed ties with him, but suddenly she fainted. Ji Yong panicked and tried to help her, but Song Mo arrived just in time, carrying Dou Zhao. He also noticed that Ji Yong had laid an ambush there, intending to take his life, yet he still chose to appear. Ji Yong stopped his men from attacking, allowing Dou Zhao and Song Mo to leave.
He warned Song Mo that his end was near and advised him to write a divorce letter so as not to implicate Dou Zhao. Meanwhile, Miao Ansu saw Song Han asleep and tried to cover him with a blanket. Startled, Song Han instinctively grabbed a sword and injured her neck. Realizing it was Miao Ansu, he was filled with regret and immediately apologized, holding her and calling for a doctor.
Miao Ansu stopped him and comforted him instead, letting him rest his head on her lap while calming his emotions. Song Han clung tightly to her, murmuring for his mother, deepening Miao Ansu’s compassion for him. The next morning, Song Han woke to find Miao Ansu asleep. He gently cradled her in his arms, his heart aching at the sight of her neck wound. Unable to resist, he kissed her.
Miao Ansu woke up and responded to his kiss, leading to their first intimate night together since their marriage. When Miao Ansu returned to her family, she discovered her brother Ping’an had been recklessly taking on debts and seeking money for business ventures. Believing he lacked the talent for business, she refused, only to be scolded by her parents. They reminded her that the family businesses were merely entrusted to her care and belonged to Ping’an.
They even pushed her to the ground. Unbeknownst to them, Song Han, who had been hiding in the shadows, witnessed everything but chose to leave quietly. Later, Song Han deliberately took Ping’an to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion and introduced him to the courtesan Hua Kui. When Ping’an encountered Dong Qi competing for the same woman, he angrily started a fight. During their altercation, Dong Qi pushed Ping’an down the stairs.
At that moment, Miao Ansu, embroidering at home, pricked her finger and saw blood, feeling an inexplicable sense of unease. Soon after, servants carried Ping’an’s lifeless body home, leaving Miao Ansu grief-stricken. Standing in the snow, Song Han held an umbrella over Miao Ansu as snowflakes fell. Suddenly, she fainted. When she awoke, Song Han apologized for arriving too late but assured her that he had caught the culprit.
Miao Ansu, consumed by sorrow, lamented that Ping’an was her only brother. Meanwhile, her father suffered a stroke, and her mother fainted multiple times. Song Han embraced Miao Ansu, promising to take care of her, even if she had no one else in the future.
