The Rise of Ning Episode 6 Recap
> The Rise of Ning Recap
Lin Mao was temporarily staying with the eldest sister. Since he had already been paid, he found life at the Luo residence quite boring. Luo Yining approached Lin Mao, telling him that Luo Shenyuan was also a fun young man in the household. She mentioned that Luo Shenyuan often found all kinds of entertainment, and if Lin Mao spent time with him, he was sure to have fun every day.
Simple-minded Lin Mao believed her and swore not to tell anyone that it was Luo Yining who had told him this. Soon after, he began frequently seeking out Luo Shenyuan for amusement. One day, Lin Mao saw Luo Shenyuan heading to Liuhe Tavern and quickly greeted him, hoping to join in on the food and drinks. Luo Shenyuan, upon hearing that Lin Mao was Lin Hairu's younger brother, naturally didn’t dare to be impolite.
He ordered several bottles of fine wine and summoned two beautiful women to accompany them. With beauties by his side and good wine in hand, Lin Mao unknowingly drank himself into a stupor! Luo Shenyuan had the women accompany Lin Mao while he went into another room to inquire about the recent investigation on Li Yinglong.
His subordinates reported that Li Yinglong had been frequenting Yuanjing Pavilion and had been searching for a rare medicinal herb called "Longyan Incense," which seemed to be intended for the Imperial Consort's medicine. That night, Lin Mao staggered home drunk and was scolded by Lin Hairu, so he didn't dare to go out for a while. The next day, Luo Yining asked Lin Mao what he had been up to the previous day.
When she heard that he had gone with Luo Shenyuan to Liuhe Tavern, she was quite surprised. Luo Shenyuan was usually a low-key person who didn’t like drawing attention—why would he go to a place like Liuhe Tavern? Soon after, Luo Yining heard from her maid that Luo Shenyuan had gone to Yuanjing Pavilion. The place was bustling with activity that day, as the Shen family had invited an opera troupe to perform, and all the guests were prominent officials.
Luo Yining was puzzled as to why Luo Shenyuan had gone there when her sixth sister came to invite her to join in on the excitement at Yuanjing Pavilion. At Yuanjing Pavilion, Luo Yining began looking for Luo Shenyuan. The sixth young lady told her that one of the guests was the famous local handsome man, Cheng Lang, whose looks captivated many young women. Luo Yining overheard that Cheng Lang had an uncle named Lu Jiaxue, which startled her.
Her face turned pale, and she quickly found an excuse to leave. Lu Jiaxue had once caused her to fall off a cliff, and it was a miracle she survived. Thinking of Lu Jiaxue, Luo Yining's heart began to race. She needed to leave. Yuanjing Pavilion was quite large, and as she walked, Luo Yining got lost.
In fact, when she and the sixth young lady had arrived, Lin Yuexian had already hired assassins, instructing them to find an opportunity to kill Luo Yining. Several assassins closed in on Luo Yining, and just when it seemed she would be captured, she remembered the powder in her pocket. Quickly, she threw it at the assassins and fled.
On the other side of Yuanjing Pavilion, Li Yinglong knelt before Lu Jiaxue, begging for his life and revealing that the testimony about Sun Chengwu was hidden at the Luo residence. Lu Jiaxue was unmoved and ordered his men to leave no loose ends. Luo Shenyuan, who had been listening in the shadows, immediately brought his men to save Li Yinglong. However, Lu Jiaxue had many skilled fighters with him, and Luo Shenyuan personally engaged in a fight with him.
Their martial skills were evenly matched. After Li Yinglong managed to escape, Luo Shenyuan quickly led his men in retreat. Luo Shenyuan noticed Luo Yining observing from the shadows and immediately grabbed her, pulling her along to escape. However, because he was injured and they were being pursued, it became difficult for them to get away. Luo Shenyuan urged Luo Yining to leave quickly, warning her that if she didn’t, the Luo family could be implicated.
Luo Yining had already fled, but when she saw how much blood Luo Shenyuan was losing from his wound, she hurried back to help him. Late that night, Madam Luo was anxious as Luo Yining had not returned home. Lin Hairu wanted to take people to Yuanjing Pavilion to look for her, but Qiao Xiaoniang mentioned that assassins had attacked Yuanjing Pavilion that day, and it was not safe to enter.
Lin Hairu, having learned the general situation from Luo Yixiu, suspected that their stepmother was involved. After everyone left, Lin Hairu secretly brought a few maids to their stepmother’s courtyard. She closed the door and began questioning their stepmother, demanding to know where Luo Yining was being kept.
