The Double Episode 6 Recap
> The Double Recap
When Jiang Ruoyao woke up, she felt unbearable itching all over her body. Her maid mentioned that Jiang Ruoyao only discovered the problem after wearing the earrings that Xue Fangfei had given her. Xue Fangfei knew that someone must have framed her.
Xue Fangfei pleaded with her father to let everyone leave, assuring him that she could improve Jiang Ruoyao’s condition. Xue Fangfei insisted she had no intention of framing Jiang Ruoyao, knowing full well that Jiang Ruoyao had orchestrated the whole scenario herself. Xiang Qiao even falsely accused Xue Fangfei, claiming she saw Xue Fangfei put the spices in the earrings. Xue Fangfei countered, saying the earrings she gave were of good quality and must have been swapped by someone.
She even had Tong Er follow Xiang Qiao and witnessed Xiang Qiao switching the earrings. If this matter were to be exposed, the suspicion wouldn't fall on Jiang Ruoyao, which was Jiang Ruoyao’s ultimate goal. Jiang Ruoyao was left speechless by Xue Fangfei’s accusations. Xue Fangfei stated that she returned to reclaim what was rightfully hers.
At this moment, Ji Shuran was still fanning the flames. Xue Fangfei opened the door, and Ji Shuran, confident, walked in only for Jiang Ruoyao to claim she was feeling much better, thanks to Xue Fangfei. Jiang Yuanbai, reassured, allowed everyone to leave. Afterward, Jiang Ruoyao scolded her mother for giving bad advice.
Upon hearing about the incident, the grandmother summoned Xue Fangfei to her room. Rumors spread that Xue Fangfei was malicious, but Xue Fangfei explained that her maids were behind everything. The grandmother then ordered the two maids in Xue Fangfei’s courtyard to be apprehended.
Xiang Qiao and Yun Shuang, upon seeing Xue Fangfei return, hastily defended themselves but were taken away nonetheless. Little Jingrui emerged, boasting about how well he handled the situation. The grandmother couldn’t understand why Ji Shuran continued to trouble Xue Fangfei after so many years.
Ji Shuran, still displeased, wanted to mess with Xue Fangfei, feeling overshadowed by her during Jiang Ruoyao’s coming-of-age ceremony. The grandmother decided to assign a new maid, Bai Xue, to Xue Fangfei. Upon seeing Bai Xue’s address, Xue Fangfei asked if she knew a woman named Hai Tang. She needed to find Hai Tang to possibly uncover clues about that night’s events.
Ji Shuran pretended to be considerate in front of her husband, apologizing for the incident involving Xue Fangfei, but her real intention was to quickly find a husband for Xue Fangfei so she wouldn’t compete with Jiang Ruoyao for Zhou Yanbang. Ji Shuran emphasized that Xue Fangfei had never studied at the Zhen Nu Hall, making an early marriage a good idea.
The next day, Jiang Yuanbai discussed marriage with Xue Fangfei. Knowing Ji Shuran was behind it, Xue Fangfei reluctantly agreed, aware that Ji Shuran had ulterior motives for wanting her out of the Jiang family. Soon, Ji Shuran arranged a match with Zhao Qi from the Zhao family, intending to trap Xue Fangfei in a disadvantaged marriage.
Xue Fangfei and Zhao Qi met privately. Zhao Qi, frank and open, mentioned that after marriage, they should have many children, but Xue Fangfei firmly stated she wouldn’t marry him. Zhao Qi criticized Xue Fangfei, thinking she should feel honored. Xue Fangfei retorted, pointing out his crow’s feet and insinuating he had a lover he couldn’t bring home.
This left Zhao Qi speechless. Later, Zhao Qi suggested postponing the marriage, which frustrated Ji Shuran despite her silence. That day’s events passed, but Tong Er worried Ji Shuran wouldn’t give up. Xue Fangfei realized she needed to take action.
Xiao Heng went to the Qin family. With only Lady Qin left at home, Xiao Heng threatened her, and she revealed her husband’s hiding place. However, they found Qin’s father had hanged himself, leaving a confession. With the trail cold, Xiao Heng had to report the situation to the Emperor.
Shen Yurong, now favored by the Emperor, proposed establishing girls’ schools. Princess Wanning invited Shen Yurong for a meal, and he dared not refuse. Wanning suggested that for exams, young men and women could pair up freely, but Shen Yurong quickly rejected the idea, emphasizing the seriousness of the exams. Laughing, Princess Wanning demanded Shen Yurong to kneel.
