Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds Episode 2 Recap
> Dawn Amidst Hidden Clouds Recap
A young Lou Mingye was drinking medicine, but he found it too bitter and didn’t want to continue. Leng Qingyao tricked him into swallowing it. Lou Mingye’s father then asked him to go play with Leng Qingyao, as he had matters to discuss with her father. However, shortly afterward, Lou Mingye returned to find his father dead on the ground. He suspected that Leng Qingyao’s father might have been involved.
Fang Tingge reminded him that his reason for coming here was to find Leng Qingyao and uncover the truth from those years ago. He asked why they were now involved in the matter of Wu You San. Lou Mingye explained that what happened back then was also related to Wu You San, and it might not be a coincidence that Lan Che got caught up in this.
Lan Che led Xiao Dao, Xiao Luo, and others to cause a scene at Chen Rusong’s residence. In reality, Lan Che wanted to enter the Chen household to investigate, but Madame Chen wouldn’t allow her entry, so Lan Che gathered people at the entrance, demanding repayment from Madame Chen. When Lou Mingye arrived at the gate and saw the scene, he commented to Fang Tingge that Lan Che had quite the persistence.
Then he approached the gate, declaring it was a Dali Temple investigation and requesting they open the door. Naturally, Lan Che followed him inside. Lou Mingye instructed Fang Tingge to guard outside, where Xiao Dao and Xiao Luo also remained. They initiated a conversation with Fang Tingge, asking about the Chen residence. Fang Tingge wasn’t interested in talking, and Xiao Luo asked if Dali Temple agents were all so taciturn.
Fang Tingge replied that he knew what could be said and what couldn’t. Xiao Luo remarked that her lady, Lan Che, and Lou Mingye had already crossed paths twice in such a short time, believing it to be fate. Fang Tingge started to say, “If it weren’t for Lan Che being…,” but stopped, realizing it was something he shouldn’t reveal, so he immediately fell silent.
Inside, Lou Mingye and Lan Che met with Madame Chen and asked if she was aware of Chen Rusong’s shady activities. Madame Chen claimed ignorance, and Lan Che commented to Lou Mingye on how cleanly she was distancing herself from Chen Rusong. When a maid inquired when Chen Rusong’s body could be retrieved, Lan Che responded that this matter was now up to her to decide.
Lou Mingye and Lan Che asked if anyone knew about Chen Rusong’s connections, but everyone claimed ignorance. As Lou Mingye and Lan Che were about to leave, they noticed Madame Chen naturally accepting a handkerchief passed by the steward. Lan Che remarked that such an action could only come from close familiarity, joking that Chen Rusong’s head was a field of green (implying he was being cheated on).
Lan Che then asked Lou Mingye to return Granny Wang’s property deed that Chen Rusong had taken, but Lou Mingye teased her, saying she’d have to become his sidekick if she wanted it back. Lan Che refused, but upon returning to her pharmacy, she was punished by her master, who warned her to stay away from Lou Mingye. Just then, Granny Wang’s grandson, Xiao Guazi, arrived, calling for Lan Che, saying his grandmother was unwell again.
Lan Che rushed to see Granny Wang, only to find her using Wu You San once more. Seeing her like this, Lan Che became even more determined to retrieve the deed, even though her master had repeatedly warned her to avoid Lou Mingye. Nonetheless, she went to find him, agreeing to be his sidekick if he would give her the deed.
Lou Mingye instructed Assistant Minister Xu to search Chen Rusong’s belongings for the property deed, but it was nowhere to be found. Fang Tingge then informed Lou Mingye that there was trouble at Granny Wang’s house, prompting him to rush over. He found a group preparing to tear down her home, claiming they were doing so on the orders of Hu Zhi, the deed’s owner.
When they threatened to report to the Dali Temple if anyone tried to stop them, Lan Che realized they didn’t recognize Lou Mingye, which she thought would work in her favor. She pointed to Lou Mingye, stating that “this gentleman” was willing to pay ten times the price for the property. With that, Granny Wang’s property was saved.
Xiao Guazi asked Lou Mingye if he liked Lan Che, since his grandmother had told him people only spend money for someone they like. Lan Che returned with two skewers of candied hawthorns, handing one to Xiao Guazi. Lou Mingye thought the other was for him, but she gave it to Xiao Guazi as well. Lou Mingye then demanded that Lan Che repay him for the money he had just spent on the property.
Meanwhile, Madame Chen met with Hu Ming, Chen Rusong’s upper connection, to trade some account books, and Lou Mingye rushed to the scene.
