> Romance of a Twin Flower Recap
Ning Yuxuan and Ji Man felt that the villagers in the Liu village were simple and honest, and they were happy living there. After drinking too much wine, they went to the seaside to see the moon and played a game of truth or dare. Ning Yuxuan and Ji Man both admitted that they had someone they liked. When Ning Yuxuan confessed that he liked Ji Man first, she responded positively. They kissed and expressed their feelings for each other by the seaside.
The next day, Ning Yuxuan and Ji Man were bidding farewell to the villagers when they unexpectedly noticed a solemn-looking middle-aged woman in the crowd. Ning Yuxuan was convinced that she had something to say to him and followed her home.
The old woman in the village is known as the crazy woman, but Ning Yuxuan believes that she is not crazy, only that no one believes what she says. The old woman tells Ning Yuxuan that all the men who went running ships in Yunzhou in the village should have died, because her son, who had been dependent on her since childhood, sent a letter saying he was going to run ships in Yunzhou. After four years, he only sent one letter back, along with a little bit of silver.
The old woman went to the pier and found someone wearing the wolf tooth necklace that A Gen's father personally put on him. This confirmed that A Gen was killed, and she begged Ning Yuxuan to help deliver a message to the official. Ning Yuxuan immediately revealed his identity and promised to investigate the matter.
Ning Yuxuan heard from the old woman that after Wang Jinyao distributed porridge in the village, A Gen disappeared not long after, and the men who had previously gone out to sea from the village also went missing after Wang Jinyao's porridge distribution. This led Ning Yuxuan to speculate that the secret behind the never-ending killings by the pirates of Haifang was that Wang Jinyao used the heads of commoners as substitutes for the pirate's heads.
Ji Man sympathized greatly with commoners like A Gen and wanted Ning Yuxuan to bring Wang Jinyao to justice and seek justice for the people. Ning Yuxuan naturally shared the same sentiment, and thus, he needed to come up with a plan to lure the snake out of its hole.
Ji Man returned to Hao Xue Tang and was warmly welcomed by Mu Xu, Sang Shen, and Qingyun. Qingyun already knew that Ji Man and Ning Yuxuan had become committed to each other with a kiss at the seaside and asked her to teach her how to control her husband. From Qingyun's words, Ji Man guessed that Qingyun already had someone she was fond of, and although Qingyun was shy, she admitted frankly that she must win over Tao Siwei.
General Nie sent his steward to inquire about Nie Sangyu's whereabouts, and learned that she had already died. He was deeply saddened and couldn't help but shed tears. The villagers had previously mentioned that someone had inquired about the news earlier than them, and General Nie guessed that it must have been Ning Yuxuan. He was very curious about Ji Man's identity now and decided to investigate.
One day, Guihai Yidao in the capital received news from Haifang that Jiman had returned home, which made him very happy and he eagerly looked forward to reuniting with her. Soon it would be the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Haifang's annual silver ship was about to arrive in the capital. Wang Jinyao specially informed Yuan Lang of this news, implying that he understood what he meant. Yuan Lang knew that robbing the silver ship was a serious crime and would result in the punishment of nine generations of one's family. But Wang Jinyao was not concerned, and even reminded Yuan Lang that pirates often roamed the seas near Haifang throughout the year. How could the stolen silver be traced back to them? They could simply hand over a few civilians and brush this matter aside.
When Yuan Lang heard Wang Jinyao's words, he was very dissatisfied with his disregard for human life, but he didn't show it on the surface. He took the lead in charging, while Wang Jinyao sat back and enjoyed the rewards. Expressing his dissatisfaction, Wang Jinyao promised that as long as they robbed the court's silver and removed the part that was given as tribute, the rest would be split 50-50 between the two of them. It was only then that Yuan Lang agreed to cooperate with Wang Jinyao.
When Ji Man learned that Ning Yuxuan was personally escorting the silver, she became very anxious. So she brought the Guihai ship's amulet, Guihai Yidao, which she always carried with her whenever she went out to sea, to ease Ning Yuxuan's worries. Ning Yuxuan was very happy that Ji Man was concerned about his safety, so he put the amulet on his chest.
On the day of departure, Wen Wan disregarded the overall situation and rushed to the pier before the ship set sail to bring some snacks. She boarded the ship under the pretense of a borrowed excuse. Meanwhile, Ji Man still worried about Ning Yuxuan and came to see him off at the pier. Seeing that Ning Yuxuan was wearing the peace talisman, Ji Man felt slightly relieved. She just turned around and walked away, but soon felt uneasy. So, she and Mu Xu secretly boarded the ship and split up to check it.
Mu Xu noticed Wen Wan on the boat and appeared to persuade her to disembark. However, Wen Wan refused, but Ning Yuxuan arrived just in time and ordered her to leave. Under Mu Xu's watchful eyes, Wen Wan reluctantly disembarked. When she learned that Ji Man had not disembarked, she became furious, but the boat had already set sail, so she had no choice but to return home.
Ji Man found someone suddenly coming up from below deck while on the ship. She secretly sneaked in when no one was paying attention and found traces of dripping naphtha on the wooden ladder. She was uncertain and suspicious, but when she looked through the screen and saw what was inside, she was even more shocked and quickly hid.
