The Rise of Ning Episode 26 Recap
> The Rise of Ning Recap
Chen Lan was eager to seize the opportunity to connect with the Princess. Now that her daughter had fallen into the water and rumors were spreading, she only wanted to marry her daughter off as quickly as possible. However, Luo Yixiu refused, as she did not like Han Zhao. Shortly after, Luo Yining arrived. Chen Lan asked her to chat with her sister while she went to visit the Old Madam of the Luo family.
Luo Yining discreetly sent Luo Yixiu’s maid away, and then brought Lin Mao to see her. Upon seeing each other, Luo Yixiu and Lin Mao immediately embraced, for they were truly in love. Luo Yixiu complained that she did not like Han Zhao, and Lin Mao wanted to take her away immediately. Luo Yining stopped them, advising against rash actions.
She told them they needed to think things through carefully, reminding them that Lin Hairu was still in the Luo residence and they would need to face her in the future. Luo Yining reassured Luo Yixiu not to worry, promising to find a way to help them. Chen Lan then brought Luo Yixiu and Lin Mao to meet with Han Zhao. Han Zhao could see that the two had deep feelings for each other.
Being a soft-hearted person, he agreed not to force anything since Luo Yixiu didn’t like him and agreed to follow through with what they had discussed. Sure enough, not long after, Chen Lan took Luo Yixiu to visit the Princess. During the visit, she intentionally brought up the incident of Luo Yixiu falling into the water. Han Zhao was also present, and he deliberately mentioned that it wasn’t him who saved Luo Yixiu that day, but rather Lin Mao.
Chen Lan was caught off guard, despite knowing that it was Han Zhao who saved her daughter, but now he was denying it. Back at the Luo residence, Chen Lan slapped Luo Yixiu and completely locked her up. Meanwhile, Luo Yining received a report from her subordinates, informing her that Qiao Yuechan’s illness had worsened.
Luo Yining still had unanswered questions in her heart, so she set off for the countryside estate to ask Qiao Yuechan if she had known about Minglan’s early death. However, Qiao Yuechan, disheartened by her son’s failure to pass the imperial exams and filled with despair, was stricken with anger and showed no kindness to Luo Yining when she arrived. She didn’t reveal the truth to Luo Yining either. Chen Lan's informant secretly reported Luo Yining's visit to the estate.
Fearing that Luo Yining might uncover the truth of the past, Chen Lan ordered her informant to poison Qiao Yuechan. That very day, Qiao Yuechan died under suspicious circumstances. After Qiao Yuechan’s death, word quickly spread to the Luo family. Luo Yilian immediately suspected Luo Yining and, without bothering to find out the details, ran to Luo Yining’s courtyard and began hurling insults. Luo Chengzhang was surprised by the situation.
Even though Qiao Yuechan had once mistreated Luo Yining, it didn’t seem like Luo Yining was someone who would resort to underhanded tactics. He ordered his subordinates to keep the news contained and not report it to the authorities until the truth had been investigated. Seeing that no stir was caused, Chen Lan kidnapped the parents of Xuezhi, the maid serving Luo Yining, and forced her to go to the authorities to falsely accuse Luo Yining of murder.
Xuezhi had no choice but to comply, and soon the officials arrived at the Luo residence and arrested Luo Yining. That night, Luo Yixiu overheard the news of Luo Yining’s arrest. She sneaked out of her room, intending to ask her mother what had happened. Suddenly, she saw her nanny rushing sneakily toward her mother’s room. Out of curiosity, Luo Yixiu eavesdropped by the window and heard her mother ordering her servants to kill Luo Yining in prison. Horrified, Luo Yixiu ran to inform Lin Mao that very night.
