The Double 墨雨云间 Episode 8

Xiao Heng hugged Li Lian, but Li Jing didn't want to cause trouble and found an excuse to leave. Li Lian couldn't help but insulted Xiao Heng, who was just a dog working for the Holy Sage. Li Jing warned him not to provoke Xiao Heng.

Meng Hongjin from General Xuanwei's family yelled that Ye Shijie from Luyang's Ye family damaged her famous painting and asked him to pay a huge sum of money. Ye Shijie thought it was blackmail and refused, so Meng Hongjin shouted to take him to see the official. Xiao Heng was attracted by the sound in the teahouse and recognized Ye Shijie as Xue Fangfei's cousin, feeling that there was something good to watch.

Ye Shijie was caught by the men called by Meng Hongjin. Xue Fangfei ignored Jiang Jingrui's obstruction and stood up from the crowd. She snatched the painting from Meng Hongjin's hand and looked at it carefully. She pointed out in public that the painting was fake. She saw that the scroll was not silk and the seal did not belong to Unique to the previous dynasty. Everyone was surprised, and Jiang Jingrui agreed. Meng Hongjin knew she was in the wrong and didn't want to argue anymore, so she asked Ye Shijie to pay five taels of gold to give up.

Ye Shijie thought this was blackmail and wanted to take Meng Hongjin to the Yamen to reason, but Meng Hongjin bit him back and acted like a rogue, and everyone sided with Ye Shijie. Xue Fangfei acted as peacemaker, thinking that she would spend money to buy the painting to calm Ye Shijie's anger, and in turn comfort Meng Hongjin. Ye Shijie said that Xue Fangfei was nosy, while Jiang Ruoyao looked on and mocked Xue Fangfei for being sensational, but Zhou Yanbang praised her for her greatness and wanted to win over Xue Fangfei to form a team with him.

Li Lian was angry, thinking that Xue Fangfei had ruined his good deeds. He originally wanted to use Meng Hongjin to embarrass Ye Shijie, so that he could pretend to stand up and help and make Ye Shijie grateful to him. After seeing this, Xiao Heng invited Xue Fangfei to go upstairs for tea. Xue Fangfei was a little angry. Xiao Heng saw through Xue Fangfei's identity and deliberately called her nickname Ali. He told her stories to remind her that the road ahead was dangerous and asked her to think clearly before leaving. Xue Fangfei wanted to be fair and said that her matter had nothing to do with Xiao Heng. Xiao Heng responded that the fate of the two of them might be the same.

After Xue Fangfei returned home, Bai Xue informed her to go to Mrs. Jiang. As expected, it was Jiang Ruoyao who complained and told Ji Shuran about the famous painting. Ji Shuran hinted that Xue Fangfei should not be allowed to go to Mingyi Hall, thinking that her behavior during the day would affect the relationship between Jiang Yunbai and the Li family. Mrs. Jiang didn't want to get involved in this matter, but she still wanted to hear Xue Fangfei's explanation.

Xue Fangfei admitted that her action was not well thought out, and she just happened to know that the famous painting was fake. She wanted to take this opportunity to silence the public and let Jiang Yunbai and her reputation be resurfaced. Ji Shuran originally wanted to keep Xue Fangfei by her side for training, but Xue Fangfei's response made Mrs. Jiang feel that she understood the righteousness. Jiang Jingrui suddenly appeared to testify, helped Xue Fangfei speak, and told Xiao Heng about inviting her to tea, and the matter came to an end.

Li Lian approached Ye Shijie privately and asked him to form a team with him, and was not in a hurry for him to reply. Zhou Yanbang stopped Xue Fangfei during class and wanted to invite her to form a team with him. Before Xue Fangfei could refuse, Jiang Jingrui came out to help him talk, sarcastically sarcastically holding the food in the bowl and thinking about the food in the pot. This scene was seen by Jiang Ruoyao.

Liu Xu was impressed by Xue Fangfei's behavior and wanted to get to know her again. Xue Fangfei took the initiative to suggest that she form a team with him. Liu Xu was particularly happy when she heard that Ye Shijie might join. Xue Fangfei asked Ye Shijie to form a team with her, but Ye Shijie was deeply resentful of her childhood behavior. Xue Fangfei learned about the situation from Tong'er beforehand and explained to Ye Shijie that she was deceived by Ji Shuran and had to confront Mrs. Ye. The two resolved their misunderstanding. Ye Shijie learned that he was almost taken advantage of by Li Lian and others, and decided to join Xue Fangfei's team.

Jiang Yunbai was deeply pleased with Xue Fangfei's behavior. He did not expect Xue Fangfei to be so courageous. Ji Shuran said a few more words about Xue Fangfei's fault. Jiang Yunbai thought she was worrying too much.

Liu Xu was very happy when she found out about Ye Shijie's successful joining. Jiang Jingrui asked around and found that there were only four of them who had not formed a team yet. When they learned that Liu Xu had joined, the two looked down on each other. When Ye Shijie appeared, Liuxu instantly became gentle. Meng Hongjin led others to sow discord between them, thinking that Xue Fangfei and others would hinder Ye Shijie.

The two sides argued endlessly, and Meng Hongjin proposed a bet for the New Year's Examination. If he lost, Ye Shijie would kneel down. Ye Shijie agreed, and Jiang Jingrui got involved, and the bet became bigger and bigger, even including Li Lian and others. Li Lian asked Xue Fangfei to go back to the Virgin Hall on her own if she lost, and Xue Fangfei agreed to the bet.
