The Deliberations of Love Episode 14 Recap

Pei Xun stated that he wanted to settle the matter with Liu Yueqing regarding the broken vase, which was a valuable gift from the Empress Dowager. He mentioned it had a significant value. Liu Yueqing asked Pei Xun how much money he needed, and she would compensate for it. Han Zhen mentioned it was six thousand taels, and Liu Yueqing was surprised that it was such a large sum, thinking that Pei Xun had been waiting for her.

Pei Xun said that if Liu Yueqing wasn't willing to compensate, he would write a letter to her father for him to arbitrate. Liu Yueqing thought of her father's love for money and how he would likely say that his private funds, which were akin to his life, were not to be used to save her.

Pei Xun suggested that if she didn't have the money, she could work in the Eastern Palace, and the money could be deducted from her salary. Liu Yueqing wrote a letter back, saying that if her father didn't help her, her mother would surely intervene. Her father read the letter and reassured her mother that Liu Yueqing would be fine, considering Pei Xun's protective behavior.

Upon receiving her father's response, Liu Yueqing was disheartened to see that he advised her to work diligently in the Eastern Palace and not provoke the Crown Prince. She was dismayed by this development. Pei Xun instructed Han Zhen to arrange a room for Liu Yueqing to rest, which surprised her since she had been trying to distance herself from him.
