The Scent Of Time 为有暗香来 Episode 20

After going out, Hua Qian met Qi Ruxin. Qi Ruxin learned that Hua Qian and Zhong Yelan had reconciled, and despite being in Zhong's garden at the moment, she actually laughed at Hua Qian and even made rude remarks to the deceased Hua Shen. Hua Qian couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and pinched Qi Ruxin's neck, warning her not to slander her brother at will, otherwise he wouldn't mind making her speechless for the rest of her life. When the two were confronting each other, Ms. Meng suddenly arrived and broke the deadlock.

Hua Qian didn't know what suddenly occurred to her, so she accepted Miss Meng's wish and went back to the courtyard with her to chat. On the way, Hua Qian revealed that the target of the assassins was actually him. Hearing this, Miss Meng was not surprised at all, and even praised Hua Qian for being such a beautiful girl. Hua Qian was about to ask more questions when Zhong Xiwu suddenly came over. After Miss Meng walked away, Zhong Xiwu continued to express his feelings to Hua Qian straightforwardly, with unconcealable joy on his face.

Hua Qian didn't want to get entangled with him, so he bowed and said goodbye. But Zhong Xiwu didn't intend to leave at all, and shamelessly followed Hua Qian. Hua Qian had no choice but to remind Zhong Xiwu again that she and him were not consensual. Zhong Xiwu didn't seem to hear Hua Qian's rejection at all, and kept saying to himself that as long as she looked back, he would wait for her. After suffering so many changes, Zhong Xiwu was like a spring breeze at this moment, only gently blowing away the haze on her head, without making her feel the slightest chill. How could Hua Qian's heart remain unshaken. But Hua Qian, who had died once, would not allow himself to make a wrong step. She tried her best to control her hot heart and said goodbye to Zhong Xiwu coldly, saying she didn't need it.

After several days of follow-up investigation, Hua Qian finally found out Wu Shuomo's whereabouts. Knowing that he had been exploring Donghuang Mountain recently, Hua Qian couldn't help laughing. Unexpectedly, his escape route would not change in his next life. On this day, Hua Qian had been waiting at Donghuang Mountain for a long time, waiting for Wu Shuomo to fall into a trap. I don’t know how long I waited, but Wu Shuomo finally arrived. At present, people inside and outside Huangcheng are looking for assassins. Wu Shuomo naturally does not dare to act rashly. In addition, he was injured and was quickly caught by Hua Qian.

Hua Qian showed his previous vicious attitude, and it didn't take long for Wu Shuomo to tell the truth obediently. Wu Shuomo told Hua Qian that it was not him who killed Hua Shen at the banquet that day, and he didn't know who it was. It turns out that Wu Shuomo once went to Mu Yao and said that whether he was unwilling to reconcile or finally reconciled, Zhong Yelan's original intention was Hua Qian and not her. Seeing that Mu Yao still refused to believe it, Wu Shuomo made a bet with her and planned the assassination. But Wu Shuomo himself didn't expect that other forces would be mixed among his people.

After returning to Huazhai, Hua Qian directed and acted by himself, asking Hua Rongzhou to pretend to be an assassin, causing trouble in Huazhai. Later, Hua Qian used this as an excuse to borrow many people from Magistrate Wang. But after waiting for several days, the group still didn't come. It happened that Miss Meng sent a greeting card again, so Hua Qian simply went out for a walk. Hua Qian deliberately revealed to Miss Meng that he had captured a fugitive a few days ago. There was no change in Miss Meng's face, but she mentioned Qi Ruxin.

Mu Yao learned that Wu Shuomo had been captured by Hua Qian, and came to Huazhai at night to look for Hua Qian. She told Hua Qian that everything was done by herself and had nothing to do with Wu Shuomo. But Hua Qian knew clearly that Wu Shuomo was inextricably linked to the banquet, assassination, and kidnapping of Luo Ya. Seeing that Mu Yao was still stubborn, Hua Qian couldn't help scolding her, couldn't she live without Zhong Yelan? If you really want an answer, why not ask.
