Faithful 九义人 Episode 16

Seven years later, Meng Wan cut out every stamen of the fallen plum blossom painting, feeling mixed emotions in her heart. And Li Chunfeng also saw a familiar name-Tian Xiaoling. Meng Wan saw that his expression was abnormal and asked him if he recognized this person. Li Chunfeng did not answer, but twisted the fallen plum blossom picture into a ball and planned to leave. It happened that Feng Da and Liu Xin arrived at this time and stopped him. At this point, Li Chunfeng had no choice but to announce the truth.

During the Qiao Qiao Festival that year, Li Chunfeng gave Tian Xiaoling a rabbit lantern and watched her return to Yanyu Embroidery Building with his own eyes. But after that day, Tian Xiaoling seemed to disappear from the world, and no trace of her could be found. In this way, Li Chunfeng searched for her for seven years, carrying the rabbit lantern that Tian Xiaoling had said he would accept later. Unexpectedly, the next information I found about her was on this map of falling plum blossoms.

As a result, several people used their respective expertise to finally find Tian Xiaoling's parents and learned the truth about the Tian family's overnight move. Seven years ago, when Ru Lan sued Wu Lian, the Tian family's parents planned to take their daughter home, but Tian Xiaoling refused. I don’t know how long it took, but Grandma Chen from Xiulou took the initiative to ask the Tian family to take her daughter back, saying that Tian Xiaoling was entangled with her foreign husband and her personal ethics were lacking. But when Tian's father arrived, Tian Xiaoling was already unconscious and thinking about committing suicide every day. Helpless, the Tian family had no choice but to move to the capital. For Tian's father, no matter how reasonable what Granny Chen said, he believed that the daughter he gave birth to would not do such a thing.

Just when she passed by Qingshui Temple outside Huaizhou City, Tian Xiaoling made up her mind to stay there. Qingshui Temple did not accept male pilgrims, so Meng Wan went there in person and informed her of his experiences over the years and his revenge plan. But after saying a lot, all that was left was "There is no more Tian Xiaoling in the world." Seeing Meng Wan's persistence, the host told her that when Tian Xiaoling first entered the nunnery, she had nightmares every night, and he also learned about her experience through a letter from her. The host admired Meng Wan's bravery, but also reminded her that not everyone wants to revisit the past.

Meng Wan thought for a long time and didn't say much else. She just reminded the host that a man might come to the door in the near future and asked her to show some mercy. That night, Li Chunfeng really slipped into Qingshui Temple, carrying the old but still bright rabbit lantern. But Tian Xiaoling, who had made the promise at the beginning, did not want to see him. It wasn't until Li Chunfeng left that Tian Xiaoling dared to go out and stared at the rabbit lantern in a daze.

Wu Lian personally visited Xu Mansion and said that Yanyu Embroidery House had produced a batch of new embroidery samples and specially sent them to Mrs. Xu to see. Meng Wan went up to him and thanked Wu Lian very politely. Wu Lian bluntly said that this was just a courtesy. She sent a gift to Yanyu Xiulou, and she was expected to return the gift. With that said, he walked towards the box he brought and took out a piece of Yanyu embroidery.

Meng Wan only glanced at it and recognized that it was his own embroidery from back then. Fear, worry, and confusion were all on her face like needle threads passing through thin fabric, leaving only a little color. Then, she calmly took the embroidery and put it on the table beside her without any care. But Wu Lian still refused to give up, saying bluntly that Mrs. Xu's real name was Meng Wan, and she had studied embroidery at Yanyu Embroidery House.

He originally thought that he could use this to drive a wedge between Meng Wan and his wife. Unexpectedly, Xu Zhiyang knew all about Meng Wan's background and didn't even mind. Wu Lian looked at the two people playing the piano and the harp in harmony, and felt mixed emotions in his heart, so he had to say goodbye. But on the way out, Wu Lian took advantage of the fact that there was no one around and wanted to bully Meng Wan. Fortunately, this time, Meng Wan has a group of friends behind him.
