Treasures Around Episode 2 Recap

Pei Pei directly dragged Shan Dandan to Pei Qin, accusing her of being a spy for Suyuxuan and insisting that she worked for them. Pei Qin demanded evidence from Pei Pei, but he didn't dare mention his visit to the art gallery that day. Without evidence, Pei Qin insisted on keeping Shan Dandan and arranged for her to participate in the jade appraisal work. If she performed well, she could stay and participate in the Jade Competition.
Just as Pei Pei was about to object, his mother interrupted, stating that if he didn't want Shan Dandan to go, he would have to replace her in the competition. Unable to respond, Pei Pei turned and left. Back in her room, Pei Qin secretly shed tears. The reason Pei Pei refused to participate in the Jade Competition was that his father, Pei Chufeng, forbade him from competing when he was alive.
Pei Qin explained that Pei Chufeng did so for the greater good, but her son wouldn't listen. Now, the family needed a trustworthy person, as Pei Qin suspected an insider at Qipei Pavilion. She had taken a liking to Shan Dandan, hoping she hadn't misjudged her. Pei Qin thought that since Pei Pei disliked Shan Dandan, placing her with him might motivate him to get back on his feet.
If Shan Dandan could spur Pei Pei to recover, she would have made a significant contribution. Shan Dandan insisted on working everywhere in the room, cleaning here and there, severely disrupting Pei Pei's routine. Frustrated, Pei Pei offered to pay Shan Dandan double the amount to leave, but she had no intention of leaving and didn't care about the money.
Pei Pei tried to find a problem to drive her away, but his follower, A Liu, found the place spotless with no faults to point out. Pei Pei mocked Shan Dandan's name, but she retorted by mocking his, leaving Pei Pei speechless. He decided to bide his time, confident he would eventually find a reason to make Shan Dandan leave.
Pei Qin arranged for Manager Hao to take Shan Dandan to Qipei Pavilion to learn jade appraisal and participate in the competition. However, the old manager believed this was an automatic team formation and left Shan Dandan to find someone willing to team up with her. Shan Dandan approached several people, but they all treated her with hostility. Desperate, she decided to seek a breakthrough from the jade sales side, with A Liu silently following her.
Shan Dandan went to the front desk to help but was scolded by Manager Hao, who said that if she helped with the work, everyone else would face unemployment. At that moment, a couple walked in, with the man wanting the woman to buy jade there, only to be mocked for wanting outdated items. The man quickly took the woman to Suyuxuan. Shan Dandan had an idea.
If she could help Qipei Pavilion turn the tide, it would definitely be better than Suyuxuan. She went to investigate outside Suyuxuan and discovered that Qipei Pavilion's new styles were already being sold there. She sought out Shan Shuangshuang for more information. Meanwhile, A Liu, who was following Shan Dandan, saw the beautiful Shan Shuangshuang and developed a one-sided infatuation, nearly losing track of Shan Dandan.
After returning to the mansion, Shan Dandan checked the leftover food in the kitchen and learned about Pei Pei's preferences. She used this information to mock Cui Liu for being an incompetent maid. This incident slightly changed Pei Pei's view of Shan Dandan, though he didn't realize it himself. Shan Dandan proposed a new idea of intertwining two jade bracelets. However, the craftsman willing to help her wasn't skilled enough, resulting in significant material loss.
Shan Dandan's request for additional competition funds was rejected by Manager Hao and mocked by Pei Pei for wasting their family's money. Just as Shan Dandan was worrying about money, Pei Qin called her over to play mahjong, promising to share the winnings if she helped. Shan Dandan happily agreed and helped win 200 taels. Seeing this, Pei Pei became even more upset.
A Liu suggested Pei Pei use his looks to charm her, reminding him that Pei Qin despised sycophants. Pei Pei decided to show her that she had misjudged Shan Dandan, potentially driving her away. Cui Liu angrily informed Shan Dandan that she had to serve Pei Pei while he bathed, as Pei Pei had specifically requested her.
