The Double 墨雨云间 Episode 26

Xiao Heng realized that the will-o'-the-wisp was man-made and that the person who set himself on fire was instigated by others, so he asked Wen Ji and others to investigate what the deceased had in common. On the day when the Jiang family worshiped their ancestors, Jiang Yunbai took his family members there to worship. Before leaving, Xue Fangfei suddenly walked up to the ancestor worship platform alone, wanting to kowtow to Ye Zhenzhen and thank her daughter Jiang Li for her kindness to her. Jiang Yunxing and his wife deliberately fanned the flames, accusing Xue Fangfei of not being able to worship as a female family member, which would bring disaster to the Jiang family. Jiang Yunbai did not reprimand, but Yang yelled that she was breaking the ancestral rules. Ji Shuran stepped forward to stop her and forcibly pulled Xue Fangfei to prevent her from worshiping.

A crazy woman suddenly came out, pushed Ji Shuran away, and kept shouting "Yue'er". Ji Shuran slapped her and the servants pulled her away, but she kept looking at Xue Fangfei. After everyone left, Jiang Jingrui praised Xue Fangfei for being great. Xue Fangfei was curious about the crazy woman and learned that she was Aunt Hu. According to Jiang Jingrui, the concubine Hu was pregnant before the main wife, and Mrs. Jiang did not allow the child to stay. It was Ye Zhenzhen who repeatedly requested to keep the child. The child was born named Jiang Yue, and Ye Zhenzhen and Aunt Hu got along well until Ji Shuran appeared after Ye Zhenzhen passed away. Jiang Yue accidentally drowned while playing by the lake, which made Aunt Hu go crazy. Ji Shuran locked her in the woodshed, and then Mrs. Jiang arranged her in the ancestor worship gallery.

Xue Fangfei felt strange. She told Tong'er about this and thought that Aunt Hu was pretending to be crazy and Tong'er didn't notice. The two got into the carriage while chatting. The carriage driver gave Jiang Ruoyao a hint in the distance and took him to a remote forest, deliberately claiming that the carriage was broken down. Xue Fangfei and Tong'er had no choice but to get out of the car, and happened to see Jiang Ruoyao's carriage. Jiang Ruoyao only let Xue Fangfei get on.

In the car, Jiang Ruoyao accused Xue Fangfei of taking everything from her. Xue Fangfei retorted that when she came back, she only wanted something that would belong to Jiang Li. The suffering she suffered in the Virgin Hall was millions of times that of Jiang Ruoyao. Jiang Ruoyao still didn't believe it and blamed Xue Fangfei for her marriage to Zhou Yanbang. Suddenly, the carriage stopped, and someone threatened Xue Fangfei with a knife to get out of the car and lead her into an abandoned cabin. Zhou Yanbang appeared from the house and stared at Xue Fangfei fiercely. Xue Fangfei wanted to escape, but was knocked unconscious and tied up by Zhou Yanbang.

Jiang Ruoyao had a dispute with Zhou Yanbang. She originally thought that Zhou Yanbang was going to elope with her, but she didn't expect that he was going to kill Xue Fangfei. Jiang Ruoyao was scared and wanted to find someone, but was knocked unconscious by Zhou Yanbang. Xue Fangfei woke up and heard the conversation between the two. Zhou Yanbang knocked Jiang Ruoyao unconscious and went into the house to vent his anger. He believed that Xue Fangfei had harmed him and wanted to tarnish her reputation before brutally killing her.

Seeing Jiang Ruoyao wake up, Xue Fangfei deliberately delayed time and asked Zhou Yanbang if he liked Jiang Ruoyao. Zhou Yanbang laughed at Jiang Ruoyao for being stupid and easy to fool. If it weren't for her status as the prime minister's daughter, he wouldn't have taken a liking to her at all. Jiang Ruoyao heard this and when Zhou Yanbang was about to attack Xue Fangfei, Jiang Ruoyao attacked from behind and injured Zhou Yanbang with a stone.

When Jiang Ruoyao saw Zhou Yanbang fainted, she thought she had accidentally killed someone and was so frightened that she was at a loss. Xue Fangfei woke her up and asked her to go home quickly with him. Jiang Yu'e followed here all the way and took Zhou Yanbang home. Seeing that her son had been injured, Zhou's mother found out that Xue Fangfei had done it, and went to the Jiang family angrily.

Jiang Yunbai called Xue Fangfei to ask about the situation. Xue Fangfei only talked about Zhou Yanbang's violation, but did not say that Jiang Ruoyao set up herself. Zhou's mother refused to let go, thinking that Xue Fangfei was the murderer. Xue Fangfei asked Jiang Ruoyao to testify, and Ji Shuran called her to pretend not to know. When Jiang Yunbai asked her again, Jiang Ruoyao chose to remain silent. Xue Fangfei gave her a chance to speak. After struggling internally, Jiang Ruoyao finally confessed and confirmed that what Xue Fangfei said was true. She also said that she accidentally injured Zhou Yanbang. Zhou's mother asked Jiang Yunbai to make the decision for Zhou Yanbang, and Jiang Yunbai protected Xue Fangfei.

Ye Shijie rushed to Jiang's house immediately after hearing about this, but Xue Fangfei had already gone out. Xiao Heng learned that Xue Fangfei had an accident and sent someone to invite her over to dinner to celebrate her win. Xue Fangfei knew that Xiao Heng knew her whereabouts, so she jokingly changed places with him to see the bigger world. Xue Fangfei felt sleepy after drinking a glass of wine and fell asleep directly at Xiao Heng's place. Xiao Heng sat aside and watched her in a trance. The whole day passed in a flash. When Xue Fangfei woke up, Xiao Heng gave her a whistle. As long as she blew it, someone would protect her.
