Treasures Around Episode 11 Recap
> Treasures Around Recap
Shan Dandan, while escaping from the pursuing girls, got separated from Pei Pei. Pei Pei anxiously searched for her whereabouts. Fortunately, Shan Shuangshuang found Shan Dandan and protected her. The girls soon ran out of strength and fainted. Su Jue and Pei Pei examined the girls and found no seven-colored thread on the jade pieces, but the symptoms indicated poisoning by a cursed herb. This puzzled them, making them suspect someone had tampered and removed the threads.
Su Jue led a group to the seven-colored thread shop to gather information. The shop owner already knew about the jade poisoning incident but denied any connection to their threads. Just then, Pei Pei noticed someone peeking from outside—it seemed like Cui Liu. When Pei Pei spotted her, she quickly hid. Pei Pei asked the shop owner if they had hired any temporary workers. The owner described someone who looked very much like Cui Liu.
The city lord summoned both the Su and Pei families to answer for the incident. They explained the discovery of the cursed herb, angering the city lord, but he granted them one last day to solve the case, threatening their heads if they failed. That night, the city lord's guards took Pei Qinshi, the head of the Pei family, as a hostage. If they didn't find the clues in time, she would be executed.
The same fate awaited Su Jue, as he was also taken, urging the Su family to solve the case quickly. Despite Wang Zhanggui's offer to substitute, it was refused. Shan Dandan secretly altered the name on the record to hers. Pei Pei tried to stop her but was moved when Shan Dandan expressed her willingness to sacrifice everything for the Pei family and repay the old lady's trust. However, her act was not approved.
Just then, they captured Cui Liu and brought her back. Pei Pei questioned her, demanding the truth. Cui Liu pleaded for mercy, admitting she didn't expect such severe consequences. Cui Liu confessed that out of jealousy towards Shan Dandan, she went to a temple to pray and burn incense, wishing for Shan Dandan to leave Pei Pei. A masked person appeared, promising her wish would come true if she obeyed.
The masked person handed Cui Liu a box and instructed her to work at the seven-colored thread shop and mix the threads into the products. Cui Liu never saw the masked person's face, as they always met at the temple. Shan Dandan devised a plan to lure the masked person out. Su Jue investigated the origin of the seven-colored thread poison, discovering it came from the Western Regions.
However, nine years ago, the cursed herb was also grown in Xiushui City. Su Jue sent people to continue the investigation there. Worried that this might end Su Yuxuan's business, Su Jue arranged for Shan Shuangshuang to take all the money and leave. Shan Shuangshuang reassured him, saying that both Shan Dandan and Su Jue were her greatest concerns, making Su Jue very happy.
Cui Liu went to the temple to meet the masked person, intending to quit due to the escalating situation. The masked person, however, planned to kill Cui Liu to silence her. A Liu, who was ambushed in advance, tried to rescue her but was no match for the masked person. Pei Pei and others then revealed themselves, ready to unmask the culprit. Pei Pei and Shan Dandan had already guessed that the masked person was Tan Qinghe.
Pei Pei analyzed Tan Qinghe's behavior, noting how he always found an excuse to leave whenever they had a clue. Tan Qinghe had also suggested the spice jade idea, making him the prime suspect. The masked person, though outnumbered, was confident and attacked, intending to eliminate them all. Su Jue and his men arrived with evidence, identifying Tan Qinghe as the mastermind.
At a critical moment, the masked person released a swarm of butterflies, whose poisonous gas knocked everyone out, except Shan Shuangshuang. She swiftly attacked the masked person, defeating him despite his martial prowess, and stabbed him in the abdomen, rendering him unconscious. Shan Shuangshuang administered the antidote carried by Tan Qinghe to everyone, reviving them. Surprisingly, the masked person also regained consciousness and attempted to fight again.
Just then, Tan Qinghe arrived with more people, leaving everyone puzzled about the masked person's identity. The masked person removed the mask, revealing he looked exactly like Tan Qinghe. Shan Dandan had suspected Tan Qinghe but couldn't be certain. After various interactions and analyses, she discovered many clues. The masked person was Tan Qinghe's twin brother, Tan Qingbo.
Tan Qinghe pleaded with his brother to stop, but Tan Qingbo insisted on pursuing his own ambitions, refusing to live a life of mediocrity. It turned out that they were both sons of the Xiushui City leader. Tan Qinghe was in Yuncui City as a spy, but now, seeing his brother's lack of ambition, Tan Qingbo was furious. Xiushui City had been oppressed by Yuncui City, and the spice jade business was their chance for revival.
When Yuncui City's lord found out, he imitated and took over their business. Tan Qingbo, frustrated with Tan Qinghe's lack of desire to fight, kidnapped him and impersonated him to execute his plan. Su Jue and Pei Pei urged Tan Qingbo to surrender, promising to plead with the city lord for leniency. Tan Qingbo, however, chose to fight to the death. Tan Qinghe's heartfelt plea for his brother's repentance failed. Just then, Yuncui City's soldiers arrived.
Tan Qingbo, refusing to surrender, took his own life in front of everyone. Shan Dandan, deeply concerned for Tan Qinghe, decided to visit him in a few days, understanding the pain of losing a loved one. Pei Qinshi thanked Shan Dandan, acknowledging how she always helped them avert danger. Shan Dandan was promoted to the second manager of Qi Pei Pavilion and chief jade appraiser.
The city lord praised the Pei family for solving the case, greatly boosting their sales, which now far exceeded the Su family's. This made Shan Dandan very happy.
