Follow Your Heart Episode 19 Recap

Jiang Xinbai found that Yan Nanxing had still followed him out and felt somewhat reproachful, but Yan Nanxing was genuinely worried about him. Jiang Xinbai's gaze gradually softened. Back home, Yan Nanxing tried to resolve the conflict between Jiang Xinbai and Jiang Suoluo. For her, family was most important, and everything else was secondary. Despite Jiang Xinbai's family always causing her grievances, she still spoke up for them.
However, Yan Nanxing didn't feel aggrieved; she was well-fed, warmly clothed, and living well now. Yan Nanxing took Jiang Xinbai out to relax, having previously paid the Persian witch to cheer him up. But when she brought Jiang Xinbai there, the Persian witch suggested they get married, which unexpectedly lifted Jiang Xinbai's spirits. Yan Nanxing mistakenly thought he was unhappy. Jiang Xinbai, hiding his smile, asked her if her feelings for her little brother were of gratitude or affection.
Yan Nanxing quickly clarified that it was gratitude. They played around in the ghost market, but were witnessed by Li Wufang. Shang Bieli brought people to the Twelve Music House to search for the Zornia herb and encountered Tong Saier, who was working odd jobs there. Tong Saier claimed she could smell the Zornia herb; her nose was very sharp!
Li Wufang was nervous, not expecting Tong Saier to actually find the Zornia herb, which made Li Wufang furious and injured Li Wufang. Someone in the Jinwu Guard had touched the Zornia herb, but Shang Bieli only discovered it today and was very frustrated.
Tong Saier said she needed to find another odd job, but Shang Bieli wanted her to stay at his residence to work, which she flatly refused because she didn't get along with Jiang Xinbai, which would trouble Yan Nanxing. Shang Bieli simply used the peach wood chip she gave him, asking Tong Saier to fulfill his first wish and stay. Tong Saier stayed at Shang Bieli's residence, but he didn't expect her to be so unpredictable, causing him much trouble.
The Twelve Music House was shut down, and Lord Li and Lord Lu decided to let Li Wufang take the fall. Shang Bieli decided to report the Zornia herb issue to the emperor. Nan Jifeng remembered Jiang Xinbai saying that it wasn't the right time to report to the emperor, but Shang Bieli wouldn't listen and insisted on going alone to see the emperor. As soon as Shang Bieli left, Nan Jifeng ran to Jiang Xinbai to ask for help.
In the palace, Li Wufang and Lord Li were already accusing Shang Bieli in front of the emperor, and Shang Bieli was furious but had no evidence to refute. At this moment, Jiang Xinbai also received the message to enter the palace to meet the emperor, who ordered him to make Shang Bieli confess within an hour, or he would be killed.
The emperor suspected that Shang Bieli and Nan Jifeng were colluding, so Jiang Xinbai secretly brought Nan Jifeng into the palace to see Shang Bieli. Their lives were now intertwined, and Jiang Xinbai couldn't afford any mistakes in the interrogation. Previously, the Ministry of War's compensation was too little, and the Jinwu Guard had many casualties. Shang Bieli had taken money from Lord Li and Lord Lu to support his brothers, so they were certain Shang Bieli wouldn't speak.
Shang Bieli confessed the truth to Jiang Xinbai and Nan Jifeng. In a moment of desperation, Jiang Xinbai thought of a way and told the emperor that Shang Bieli and Nan Jifeng had set up a sting operation to catch a bigger fish. The emperor, however, challenged Jiang Xinbai. Shang Bieli and Nan Jifeng quickly pleaded for leniency.
Jiang Xinbai knew the emperor didn't really want their lives; he wanted them to uncover the truth within a month or face execution. Leaving the palace, Shang Bieli reluctantly apologized to Jiang Xinbai, who naturally didn't hold it against him. Returning home, Shang Bieli found Tong Saier feeling guilty for not doing anything right. Shang Bieli asked her to cook a meal, and despite the food looking unappealing, it tasted quite good.
Tong Saier inadvertently learned that Shang Bieli had lost his sense of smell, which made her a bit sad. Jiang Xinbai returned home to find Yan Nanxing asleep on the table with a meal prepared. Jiang Xinbai felt very warm; it was nice to have someone cook and wait for him to come home. Shang Bieli and Jiang Xinbai successfully left the palace.
Lord Lu and Lord Li decided to move their business outside the capital to avoid any further mistakes. Li Wufang was very worried that Jiang Xinbai would discover his private dealings and resolved to kill Jiang Xinbai.
