Flourished Peony 国色芳华 Episode 6

He Weifang rode home as fast as she could, thinking of how good her father had been to her before she got married, and suddenly she felt hope ahead. However, she did not expect that Liu Shen's men had arrived at He's house before her, and reprimanded her for talking back to her mother-in-law and not serving her husband, and even took the case to court. She wanted a divorce, but she never mentioned that the Liu family had treated her harshly and had misappropriated her dowry without her permission. He's father didn't know the truth and mistakenly thought that Mudan had run away from home at night, so he agreed to look for her with the Liu family. He Weifang knew that she already had a home and could not return, so she took advantage of the time when no one was around, left some money behind, and rode her horse to the edge of the cliff, carrying the peony on her back. Later, the people sent by Liu Shen found a hairpin belonging to He Weifang on the edge of the cliff and thought that she had fallen off the cliff and died. Liu Chang didn't believe it and speculated that it was his father Liu Shen who forced He Weifang to death.

From childhood to adulthood, Liu Chang had never disobeyed his father. From food, clothing, housing and transportation to major life events such as making friends and getting married, he followed his father's arrangements. However, this time, he was determined not to be his father's puppet anymore and vowed that he would never marry the county magistrate even if he died. host. Liu Shen was furious and beat Liu Chang with a stick, but Liu Chang held back and refused to let go. Mrs. Liu loved her son so much that she cried and advised Liu Chang to marry the county lady. Liu Shen was so angry that he fell to the ground with a red face. He said angrily that if Liu Chang had not been so willful and angered King Ning, the Liu family would not have been exiled to Luoyang. This marriage with the county lady was the only chance for the Liu family to make a comeback. . When Liu Chang was mentioned about this, he was moved. Liu Shen immediately arranged for someone to go to Chang'an to propose marriage. Liu Chang finally stopped refusing harshly.

Having said that, He Weifang did not fall off the cliff. She deliberately left the hairpin on the edge of the cliff to disrupt the sight of those who were pursuing her, so that the Liu family would no longer track her whereabouts. She found a commoner's home in the mountains, changed into coarse clothes, and paid someone to secretly bring her to Chang'an. He Weifang's mother had left her a property in Chang'an called Fangyuan, but when she went to knock on the door she found out that there was no senior housekeeper here and the servants did not recognize her as the owner. In order to gain a foothold in Chang'an, He Weifang looked for work in shops everywhere, but many shops did not dare to hire someone like her who had no household registration.

One day, He Weifang saw a woman working in a large tavern and asked her if she needed help. The woman refused her offer, but the owner kindly asked her to work in the store and said that if He Weifang was willing to mortgage the jade abacus to him, He, he could ask the government to help He Weifang get a household registration. He Weifang was not stupid, she asked the owner to write a receipt. Wu Niang was full of hostility towards He Weifang. She deliberately bumped into her, causing a bowl to break. She also slandered He Weifang for being dishonest and stealing money. He Weifang argued with her and the owner Wang Qing chose to believe He Weifang. At night, He Weifang always felt that Wang Qing and his wife were up to something, but for now she decided to make money first and pay more attention to Wang Qing and his wife.

Jiang Changyang captured Chu Dalang, the leader of Qingzheng Society, who was hiding in Chang'an, and gave Chu Dalang Dabei's letter. The next day, he asked Chu Dalang to meet Dabei at Kaiyuan Temple. Chu Dalang finally agreed to join Jiang Changyang's Under your command. With this group of aspiring people, Jiang Changyang will have eyes and ears in Xishi in the future, making it much easier for him to act. Half a month passed in a blink of an eye, and there was no settlement on the household registration matter that Wang Qing promised. He even wanted to get his hands on He Weifang, saying that he could divorce Wu Niang and make He Weifang the principal wife, and that the property would belong to the two of them in the future. He Weifang flatly refused and was then beaten to death by Wang Qing. Forced by Wang Qing's fists and brutality, He Weifang had to compromise and agree.
