The Rise of Ning Episode 11 Recap
> The Rise of Ning Recap
The grandmother instructed Luo Chengzhang to make the decision. In front of their ancestors’ memorial tablets, Luo Chengzhang announced that Qiao Yuechan would be punished with fifty lashes and then sent to work on the family estate. Ever since Luo Shenyuan was injured at Yuanjing Pavilion and then sustained additional wounds from his fight with the intruder at Yixin Studio, his old injuries worsened, and he nearly succumbed to illness.
Fortunately, Lin Mao, who had a knack for working with medicinal herbs, was quietly brought in by Luo Shenyuan's subordinates. Lin Mao used a special wound medicine he had developed, and Luo Shenyuan eventually regained consciousness. Although Luo Yining won against the concubine this time, she narrowly escaped a dangerous situation herself. Her grandmother punished her by having her reflect on her actions in the ancestral hall, asking if she realized her mistake.
Earlier, the concubine had fiercely argued and even overturned much of Luo Yining's evidence. It was only thanks to Luo Yining's thorough preparations that she was able to escape the crisis. Despite the risks she faced, Luo Yining admitted that she had no regrets. After the grandmother left, Luo Shenyuan visited Luo Yining in the ancestral hall.
Her face was pale, but she stubbornly insisted that clearing her mother’s name was her only goal, and she was willing to make sacrifices for it. Even if given the choice again, she would never submit. Luo Shenyuan admired her tenacity, but as he was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of her collapsing. Touching her forehead, Luo Shenyuan found it burning hot. He immediately carried her back to her room.
Hearing the news, the grandmother hurried over and ordered someone to fetch the best doctor in the city. Luo Shenyuan wanted to leave when the grandmother arrived, but Luo Yining was holding tightly onto his clothes, making him feel a bit awkward. The grandmother told him to go back. The doctor diagnosed her with a cold, so the grandmother ordered more blankets to be placed on Luo Yining to help with her high fever.
However, Luo Shenyuan remembered that Doctor Du had once told him that Luo Yining’s weak health stemmed from an illness she had since birth. If they wanted to cure her completely, they would need to know the exact recipe of the medicine her mother drank during labor. He stopped the grandmother's plan, explaining that adding more blankets wouldn’t help Luo Yining, as her body wouldn't be able to release the heat, and her fever wouldn’t break.
Luo Shenyuan insisted on removing some blankets and even swore to the grandmother that if he couldn’t lower Luo Yining’s fever, he would accept any punishment. After a night of careful nursing from Luo Shenyuan, Luo Yining’s fever finally broke, and her condition improved. Cheng Lang returned to report to his uncle, Lu Jiaxue.
He mentioned that he had met the seventh girl of the Luo family, whose paper-cutting skills were excellent, but he wasn’t sure if she was the “Meimei” girl his uncle had been searching for. Lu Jiaxue remarked that this young woman seemed intriguing and planned to find time to meet her in person. As Qiao Yuechan was sent to labor on the family estate, Lin Hairu went to her old room to audit the accounts.
Several boxes of gold, silver, and jewelry were found, along with many land deeds and store certificates. Qiao Yuechan had come from a poor background, so how could she possess so many deeds and jewels? Lin Hairu checked the account books and discovered that Qiao Yuechan had sold off all of Luo Yining’s mother’s jewelry and secretly kept the money for herself.
Lin Mao, while preparing medicine for Luo Shenyuan, was also persuaded by him to make a health tonic for Luo Yining. Although Luo Shenyuan paid for all the medicines, he pleaded with Lin Mao not to reveal that he had requested the tonic for Luo Yining. When Lin Mao delivered the medicine, he noticed Luo Yining’s maid bringing over a bowl of Huangqi Peony Soup.
Since Luo Yining didn’t like drinking the tonic, Lin Mao casually poured it into a nearby potted plant, remarking that the Huangqi Peony Soup had mild properties and was very beneficial to plant growth. The next day, during a meal with her grandmother, Lin Hairu had the servants bring Luo Yining more Huangqi Peony Soup, thinking it would be good for her cold recovery. Luo Yining playfully poured the tonic into the nearby potted plant.
Seeing her mischievous behavior, her grandmother commented that she looked just like her mother back then—her mother also didn’t like drinking that tonic and had poured it into a potted begonia, which soon died afterward. Luo Yining was surprised. Lin Mao had assured her that the tonic had mild properties and wouldn’t harm plants, so how had it killed the begonia?
