Romance of a Twin Flower 春闺梦里人 Episode 21

Ji Man drank a lot of wine and went out to play with Ning Yuxuan by the river. Ji Man said that he knew a game, playing rock-paper-scissors with Ning Yuxuan, the loser had to choose to drink a glass of wine, or tell the truth, and Ning Yuxuan agreed. Ning Yuxuan won a game and asked Jiman if he liked someone, Jiman said yes, Ning Yuxuan asked who she was, Jiman said that this is already the second question.

Ji Man won a game and asked Ning Yuxuan if he liked anyone, Ning Yuxuan also said yes, Ji Man asked him who he liked, Ning Yuxuan said that this is also the second question. Ji Man said that there will be another round and he won Ning Yuxuan again, saying that Ning Yuxuan can talk this time. Ning Yuxuan said it was Ji Man. Ji Man asked if he was confessing his love to him, Ning Yuxuan said yes, and kissed Ji Man. Ji Man asked him when he fell in love with him, and Ning Yuxuan said that it was already the third question.

The next day Ning Yuxuan and Jiman were about to go back, and people from the village came to see them off, saying that they were good people. The two came to find the old woman they met before. The old woman said they were not good people, but everyone in the village thought she was crazy. Ning Yuxuan said that the old woman was not crazy, but no one believed what she said.

The old woman said that most of the men in the village have gone to sea, but her son Agen is a dutiful son, so in order not to worry her, he never goes to sea. That day, Agen said that he was going to work, but he didn’t come back at night. Later, Agen wrote a letter and came back, saying that he had gone to sea and had a good life on the boat. However, the old woman only received that letter. No more news.

The old woman said that Boss Wang’s men came to give porridge before Agen left, and there were many men who ran away in the village, but none of the group that left after Boss Wang’s men came to give porridge came back. The old woman hoped that they could help her find out the whereabouts of A Gen, at least to know whether it was dead or alive. Ji Man assured them that they would definitely find out.

When Ning Yuxuan and Ji Man went back, both of them had already thought about it. Ning Yuxuan said that every time there was a major case that shocked the court, there would be pirates who would come forward to confess their guilt. Maybe these people were arrested and pretended to be pirates. Ji Man didn't expect Boss Wang to do such an outrageous thing.

Boss Wang came to Yuan Lang and said that there was a big event recently. Haifang wanted to cooperate with Yuan Lang because every August 15th is the day when Haifang transports old silver to Beijing. Yuan Lang said that this is a serious crime that implicates the nine clans. Boss Wang said that this is all the old silver robbed by pirates and has nothing to do with them. Yuan Lang felt that it was inappropriate for Boss Wang to sit back and enjoy the benefits. Boss Wang said that if they got rid of those above, they would get a 50-50 share. Shen Liancheng didn't get so much before, so Yuan Lang agreed.

Ning Yuxuan cooperated with Boss Wang to transport the old silver to Beijing. Wen Wan took some things to Ning Yuxuan and said to help him put them on the boat first. Ji Man came to see Ning Yuxuan off, feeling a little uneasy, and boarded the boat with Clover, saying that he wanted to see if there was anything suspicious. Clover found that Wen Wan did not disembark, followed her secretly, and saw Wen Wan come to deliver food to Ning Yuxuan.

Ji Man found traces of gunpowder in the cabin, and found it strange. Ning Yuxuan asked why Alfalfa was here, and Alfalfa said that she was here to invite Wen Wan to disembark, and Ning Yuxuan told Wen Wan to follow her quickly. Wen Wan got off the boat and found that the boat had left, but Ji Man didn't get off, thinking that they did it on purpose, but when things turned out like this, Wen Wan had no choice but to go back home first.

Boss Wang called Ning Yuxuan over and said to play chess with him. Ning Yuxuan talked about the pirates. Boss Wang said that Yuan Lang and Ji Man were old acquaintances. The pirates should have nothing to do with him. Boss Wang felt that Ning Yuxuan was going to lose in this corner, but Ning Yuxuan said that the outcome was still undecided.
