Les Belles Episode 9 Recap
> Les Belles Recap
In the early morning, Luo Lingyu went to the ancestral hall. Last night, Zhou Yangling had stayed in for her and misled the eldest madam’s spies. Luo Lingyu heard the eldest madam calling for her presence and quickly splashed some water from the basin onto her clothes, pretending to have been kneeling there all night. The eldest madam questioned Luo Lingyu about Lu Xian’s fall into the water.
Since this incident involved her younger sister, Luo Lingyu seemed reluctant to speak about it. At that moment, Lu Chang, who had been playing with Hua’er, rushed in and recounted the entire event. Luo Lingyu also reported the oily substance on the pebbles, explaining that it had been intentionally placed there by the girl who was always causing trouble.
With both eyewitnesses and physical evidence, the girl who had oiled the pebbles knelt and begged for forgiveness, but she was still kicked out by the eldest madam. At first, the eldest madam had forgiven Luo Lingyu, but then another scheming woman took the opportunity to frame her. She told the eldest madam that it wasn’t Luo Lingyu who had been kneeling in the ancestral hall last night and that she had been flirting with Lu Yun.
The eldest madam, who despised women with ulterior motives, immediately ordered Luo Lingyu to be expelled from the Lu family. Lu Yun wanted to intervene, but the eldest madam was even angrier. Luo Lingyu, tears streaming down her face, begged not to implicate Hua’er, and the eldest madam agreed to this request. Outside the Lu residence, Fan Qingchen was waiting. Luo Lingyu, upon hearing Zhou Yangling’s report, was shocked.
Being expelled now would definitely play into Fan Qingchen’s hands, so she knew she couldn’t leave at this moment. She calmed herself down and thought hard about a solution. Fortunately, she still had the Prince of Hengyang as an ally, so she immediately asked Zhou Yangling to help by finding the prince.
Zhou Yangling, uncertain of what to do, followed Luo Lingyu’s instructions and told the Prince of Hengyang that it was Lu Yun who wanted him to come personally to discuss important matters. The prince was somewhat skeptical, but hearing that it was an urgent matter, he rode over. Lu Yun, contemplating how to resolve the situation, decided to ask the elderly matriarch for help.
He explained in detail how he came to know Luo Lingyu, mentioning how she had saved both him, the third young master, and Lu Xian, the second young master. Given that Luo Lingyu had saved their family twice, and that she was also the daughter of a martyr, the matriarch, moved by her background, spoke with the eldest madam to convince her to give Luo Lingyu another chance. Meanwhile, the Prince of Hengyang arrived on horseback.
Zhou Yangling deliberately pushed Fan Qingchen, who had been waiting at the gate of the Lu residence, into the prince’s path. The prince hurriedly pulled the reins to stop, but the horse was startled and began to charge. Seeing that the prince was about to be thrown off, Luo Lingyu rushed to protect him in a dramatic “heroine saving the hero” moment. The Prince of Hengyang was deeply moved, and his feelings for Luo Lingyu grew stronger.
Lu Yun, having already convinced the eldest madam and the matriarch, was just about to go outside to find Luo Lingyu when he saw her standing beside the Prince of Hengyang, looking like a bird nestled close to him. If he didn’t act quickly, it seemed likely that the prince would take her to the palace.
Lu Yun hurried over to remind Luo Lingyu that the matriarch had already agreed she could stay, and Luo Lingyu was pleasantly surprised, thinking it was her younger sister’s doing. The Prince of Hengyang was very impressed with Luo Lingyu and specifically mentioned that there would be a banquet at the palace soon, inviting all his friends and their families to attend. Luo Lingyu understood his meaning but simply nodded and smiled without saying anything.
Initially, the Prince of Hengyang had come because Lu Yun mentioned that there was something important to discuss. The prince then asked what the matter was, and Lu Yun was somewhat taken aback. Luo Lingyu immediately signaled to Lu Yun to step in and save the situation, so Lu Yun had no choice but to welcome the prince into the Lu residence.
