The Double Episode 16 Recap
> The Double Recap
Xiao Heng and Li Jin watched the show from the sidelines. Initially, the common people wanted an explanation from the Ye family. Xue Fangfei's few words silenced them. While the guards insisted there was an issue with Ye's fabrics, Xue Fangfei pressed for the main reason behind the problem.
However, the guards couldn't provide an answer, leaving them speechless. Xue Fangfei mentioned involving her father in the investigation, promising the truth would come out. She discreetly asked Ye Jiaer for money, which she readily agreed to provide. Xue Fangfei decided to buy back the fabrics from the villagers at the original price, securing evidence.
This move garnered villagers' agreement. Li Jin criticized Xue Fangfei's actions, accusing her of injustice toward the Jiang family. Xiao Heng, however, understood her intentions. Xue Fangfei spotted Xiao Heng, finding his intentions inscrutable. Although she couldn't predict his thoughts, she mentioned Xiao Heng's visit to the brothel, prompting his swift explanation. Xue Fangfei then left, leaving everyone in awe due to her actions.
With Xue Fangfei's involvement, the soldiers treated them with respect. Xue Fangfei admitted to Ye Jiaer that her actions were meant to scare Tong Zhiyang. She wasn't afraid and believed their plan would work. Meanwhile, Li Jin approached Tong Zhiyang, suggesting that as long as Ye Mingxuan was in his hands, the Ye family wouldn't cause trouble.
Tong Zhiyang, as the magistrate, intentionally made things difficult for the Ye family. Xue Fangfei confronted Tong Zhiyang about the fabric case. They were joined by Zhi Ran from the Dyeing Bureau, whom Xue Fangfei intended to intimidate. Tong Zhiyang believed they wouldn't uncover anything.
Through the Dyeing Bureau's investigation, they discovered a sweet scent in the fabric, leading to the realization that it was not local. Xue Fangfei visited her third uncle, hinting at a lucrative deal. She knew about his debts and sought his help discreetly.
Disguised, they went to the escort agency, where Xue Fangfei, pretending to be a man, negotiated smoothly. Their secret code made it easier to conduct business. They asked for gyro flowers, hinting at their investigation. When they were asked to leave, Xue Fangfei insisted, leading to a dice game with high stakes.
Despite Xue Fangfei's many losses, she persisted until Xiao Heng arrived. Learning about Xue Fangfei's visit to the black market, Xiao Heng rushed there, setting aside his tasks. Xue Fangfei resisted Biao Ge alone until she collapsed.
However, she continued, and just as Biao Ge was about to win, Xiao Heng intervened. Xiao Heng knew Biao Ge well, as he was once his father's enemy. He challenged Xue Fangfei to roll the dice, and she deliberately disturbed Biao Ge's concentration. In the end, Biao Ge conceded.
