Faithful 九义人 Episode 22

Seeing Wu Lian's aggressive behavior, Zhang Rong'er didn't want to endure it anymore, so he took the initiative to propose a divorce. But if the man doesn't agree, how can the woman reconcile easily? Besides, Zhang's mother also knew very well what kind of person Wu Lian was. If she didn't agree to him today, Zhang Rong'er's life would definitely not be easy in the future. Therefore, Zhang's mother planned to give Wu Lian some cold tea from the capital in exchange for his piece of paper and the letter of departure.

Soon, news came from the capital that Wu Lian had become the envoy of Wenxiu Academy. Zhang Rong'er couldn't wait and ordered her maid to pack the dowry she brought from her parents' home, extinguished the candles in the Wu family's ancestral hall, and returned to the Zhang family without stopping. When Meng Wan and others heard about this, they felt it was very strange, so they quickly took a shortcut to stop Zhang Rong'er. Meng Wan stepped forward to explain her intention and invited her to visit Qingshui Temple.

Zhang Ronger didn't want to pay attention to anything about Wu Lian anymore, so she didn't want to look at Meng Wan, let alone accompany her to Qingshui Temple. Meng Wan had no choice but to let Liu Xin forcefully get into the carriage and lead her horse to Qingshui Temple. At Qingshui Temple, Zhang Ronger met Tian Xiaoling, but still refused to admit that he recognized her. Meng Wan took her hand and persuaded her to stay. Maybe today was her chance to cleanse her inner turmoil.

Zhang Rong'er's eyes were wet and she told Meng Wan the truth about that year. Back then, she was half coaxed and half forced to lose her virginity by her cousin. From that day on, her life was in the hands of one person after another. If he is guilty, then all he has suffered over the years has been repaid. Now, she finally has the opportunity to control her own destiny and finally get rid of these old things, so she doesn't want to cause trouble anymore.

Hearing this, Meng Wan couldn't help but feel a little angry. If Zhang Ronger left today, she would just move from the Wu family's side courtyard to the Zhang family's side courtyard, and those girls who were bullied and humiliated in the embroidery building would always linger in her fragile heart. Zhang Ronger put away her tears and told Meng Wan that she had a small ledger in private, which recorded all the dirty things Wu Lian had done.

Wu An quietly followed Zhang Ronger, heard everything she said to Meng Wan, and got the account book before Meng Wan did. In order to lure out the Seven Righteous People, Wu Lian specially set a trap in the study. The one who fell into the trap was Li Chunfeng. Li Chunfeng was captured by Wu Lian, and his body and face were covered with scarlet blood. He begged Wu Lian for mercy, saying that the account book was hidden in his arms.

Wu Lian was always cautious, so he asked Wu An to get it. Sure enough, Li Chunfeng did not intend to truly cooperate. Just when Wu An leaned over, Li Chunfeng suddenly pulled out a small knife, waved it randomly in the air, and then went straight towards Wu Lian. But he was ultimately outnumbered, and was quickly controlled by Wu An, who fell to the ground in pain. Wu Lian obtained the account book and ordered people to beat Li Chunfeng severely. At this moment, Meng Wan arrived in time and warned Wu Lian that it was best to let him and Li Chunfeng go, otherwise Lou Mingzhang would come. But Wu Lian didn't seem to be afraid, and he burned all the ledgers. At the critical moment, Liu Xin arrived in time and rescued Meng Wan and Li Chunfeng.

Li Chunfeng was seriously injured, but he still couldn't escape from Yanyu Xiulou. He took his last breath and told Meng Wan that if Tian Xiaoling still refused to go down the mountain, he must not force her. On the night of Qiqiao Festival, Tian Xiaoling came to the courtyard as agreed, and she saw many shimmering blueprint lanterns. But what waited for him in the end was not his sweetheart, but the news of Li Chunfeng's death.

On this day, everyone stayed at Li Chunfeng's home, clearing his debts during his lifetime, and waiting for Tian Xiaoling to come. But after waiting for a long time, Tian Xiaoling still didn't show up. Instead, Lou Mingzhang sent someone to invite them to his house. Lou Mingzhang told everyone that now that Wu Lian has become the envoy of Wenxiu Academy, even if he finds evidence of his crime, he is beyond his reach. Everyone felt heavy about this meal, but they all knew that Lou Mingzhang's departure was really helpless.

Lou Mingzhang and Mrs. Lou got on the carriage to Beijing with regrets, but Meng Wan had already been waiting at the city gate, planning to stop the carriage and publicly avenge them. Just when she was about to step forward, Tian Xiaoling suddenly appeared in front of Lou Mingzhang's carriage.
