The Rise of Ning Episode 30 Recap
> The Rise of Ning Recap
Lu Jiaxue helped Luo Yining attract business, but she resisted strongly, showing no gratitude. Lu Jiaxue’s subordinates suggested that he should clarify the events that led Luo Yining to fall off the cliff years ago. Helpless, Lu Jiaxue felt that since Luo Yining refused to acknowledge his identity, it would be nearly impossible to get a chance to explain things to her. Back then, it was Song Ziyun who acted on her own and pushed Luo Yining off the cliff.
Lu Jiaxue came up with an idea to release Song Ziyun from prison to see if she would seek out Luo Yining, which might force Luo Yining to acknowledge the truth. Lu Jiaxue agreed to this plan. Previously, the Luo family had arranged a marriage between the Luo and Liu families, but Chen Lan disapproved, feeling the Liu family wasn’t a good match. However, since Chen Lan was imprisoned, many people began avoiding Luo Yiyu.
At this time, Young Master Liu showed no disdain and even sent his mother to the Luo family to arrange the engagement. During hardship, true feelings were revealed; Luo Yiyu, who once ignored Young Master Liu, finally saw his noble character and accepted his proposal. Chen Lan was convicted and sentenced to exile at the frontier. At her departure, Luo Yiyu, Luo Yixiu, and their brother came to bid her farewell, tearfully urging their mother to stay strong.
The Duke of Ying arrived at Luo Yining’s shop with numerous treasures to protect her safety, accompanied by a team of skilled guards. The shop was soon filled with boxes. Luo Yining politely declined, saying she didn’t need these items and that her maids already knew some martial arts. However, the Duke insisted, saying it was only right that he fulfilled his daughter’s needs to her satisfaction.
Just then, Lin Hairu arrived, and while Luo Yining was away, the Duke discreetly bribed Lin Hairu, asking about Luo Yining’s preferences—what styles of clothing she liked and the kind of jewelry she favored. Hearing Lin Hairu’s suggestions, the Duke had someone record them so he could prepare another set immediately. Luo Shenyuan attended the imperial examination and unexpectedly took the top honor. The announcement arrived at the Luo family, filling everyone with joy.
Luo Shenyuan, who had often been looked down upon, had succeeded in the top three, and now his position as Chief Justice was even higher than Luo Chengzhang’s. In the midst of the crowd, Luo Yining looked at Luo Shenyuan, feeling deeply moved. Now dressed in the vibrant red robes of the highest-ranking scholar, he was beaming. Luo Yining’s eyes welled up with happiness for him.
Spotting her in the crowd, Luo Shenyuan dismounted his horse and walked directly to Luo Yining, smiling at her. Envious looks from young women around them seemed to pierce through Luo Yining, who felt embarrassed and called out "Third Brother" to remind him to restrain himself. That evening, Luo Yining visited Luo Shenyuan at the Luo residence, finding him still honoring the memory of his wrongfully deceased master.
Concerned, Luo Yining urged Luo Shenyuan to be extra cautious in his new role. Song Ziyun kidnapped Luo Yining, resenting her for capturing Lu Jiaxue’s heart, and blamed her for the downfall of the Song family. Luo Yining explained that this was due to Lu Jiaxue, who sought power from the beginning. The downfall of the Song family was also due to his desire for influence.
Song Ziyun, unwilling to believe her, attempted to stab Luo Yining, but Lu Jiaxue arrived just in time. Realizing that Song Ziyun was acting on Lu Jiaxue’s orders, Luo Yining knew there was no point in denying her identity as his “sister” anymore, as Lu Jiaxue had overheard everything. Determined to take her away, Lu Jiaxue confined her in a sedan chair.
Fortunately, Luo Shenyuan received word and rode ahead to block Lu Jiaxue’s path, standing as her brother to bring Luo Yining back. Now that Luo Yining held the title of the Duke of Ying’s daughter, Lu Jiaxue dared not act impulsively. As the New Year approached, the Duke of Ying came to Luo Yining’s shop, hoping to take her back to the Duke’s residence for the celebration. Seeing her father nervously sweating, Luo Yining agreed.
