Lost Track of Time 覆流年 Episode 21

Although Lu Anran kept saying that she didn't care about Mu Chuan, she did not dare to look directly at Mu Chuan. Facing Mu Chuan's eagerness for an answer, Lu Anran had no choice but to tell Mu Chuan that she only treated Mu Chuan as a confidant, and the person she truly loved was Mu Ze. If Mu Chuan misunderstood her feelings before, Lu Anran was deeply sorry. . Lu Anran said that she really understood her intentions when she was buried alive by Lu Xinran, so she was willing to join the Qing Palace.

Mu Chuan looked at Lu Anran who was leaving, still carrying the bracelet he had given her, dragged his seriously ill body on horseback to catch up with Lu Anran's carriage and questioned her, why did Lu Anran still carry the bracelet if she didn't have him in her heart, and Lu Anran wanted to let Mu Chuan t be completely heartbroken, so she threw the bracelet away, which made Mu Chuan even more disappointed.

Seeing that Lingxi was gloomy, Dan Qing persuaded Lingxi not to be angry with the young lady, but Lingxi said that she didn't, but she felt sorry for Lu Anran. Lu Anran was someone she wanted to serve for the rest of her life. She was also going to cook red bean soup to make Lu Anran happier. Dan Qing praised Lingxi for being sensible, and told Lingxi that the reason why Lu Anran liked Mu Chuan but chose not to stay with him was because she had more important things to do in her heart.

Mu Chuan took a drink to relieve his worries. Mu Ze came to visit his sick brother. Looking at his lonely and decadent face, he didn't know how to relieve Mu Chuan. After all, Mu Chuan never thought about why Lu Anran chose to marry his second brother and to be his concubine.

Lu Anran accidentally discovered that the vines that Mu Chuan personally planted in Lu Mansion's courtyard had died. She was very sad, and she felt even more sorry for her relationship with Mu Chuan, so she turned back to the place where she threw the bracelet in the daytime and wanted to retrieve it. In order to teach Lu Anran a lesson, Xiao Jingque came to Lu Mansion late at night, but could not find Lu Anran, so she planned to destroy the arrangement of Lu Mansion and the grape vines in the courtyard. ILingxi  was trying to protect the grape vines and Xiao Jinggue accidentally pushed LIngxi where she ended up hitting her head on a rock and died.  Lu Anran finally retrieved the bracelet, but when she returned to the Lu residence, she found that Lingxi had died tragically. Because of the marriage, Lu Anran was unable to place Lingxi in a mourning hall, so she could only instruct the servants to bury Lingxi, while she lay on the grape trellis for the next night. Accompanying Lingxi who has passed away.

Lu Anran was already deeply saddened, but Mu Ze thought that Lu Anran used the death of the dowry maid to make plan's against him, and said that no matter what, Lu Anran would marry into Prince Qing's mansion tomorrow. When Mu Chuan learned of Lingxi's death, he bought zongzi candy and came to Lu's house. He accidentally heard Lu Anran blame herself for plotted for Lu Xinran to marry instead of herself, but ignored Lingxi's feelings from beginning, which made her feel wronged. Mu Chuan left angrily, completely misunderstanding Lu Anran's words.

All things are born from the right way, just like a long river, if something blocks its direction, it will inevitably find another way, but in any case, it will never stop. No matter the past or present, it seemed that Lu Anran could not change the fate of the people around her.

Mu Chuan asked Mu Ze to let him take Lu Anran into the Qing palace, and Mu Ze agreed to his request. Lu Anran, dressed in red, was greeted by Mu Chuan out of the door of Lu Mansion. In order to break his own thoughts, Mu Chuan asked Lu Anran whether she was going from Sucheng to Hanjing, and even concocted Lu Xinran's affair, whether it was just to protect the Lu family and whether he was included in all Lu Anran's plots back then. Dongqing asked herself if she wanted Xuechanzi to prepare for marriage. Lu Anran did not deny the three questions. Seeing that Lu Anran did not regret stepping into the Qing Palace, Mu Chuan was completely heartbroken.
