Scent of Time (2023) Episode 16

Judging from the time, it is time for the absconding Yaren's adopted daughter to appear. Hua Qian recalled that Zhong Yelan and Mu Yao found Ya Po Qian Po and persuaded her to return to Huangcheng to identify the Hua family. Later, Hua Qian called Hua Rongzhou and asked him to go to the border town to find someone. But when he heard about Huiyang County, a trace of surprise and panic flashed across Hua Rongzhou's face. Even though he didn't want to face that place, he still agreed to Hua Qian.

Hua Qian found the eldest princess and wanted to ask her to allow him to reconcile with Zhong Yelan. The eldest princess was very surprised. She persuaded Hua Qian to calm down first. But Hua Qian couldn't wait any longer and said bluntly that if the eldest princess didn't agree, she would have to ask Zhong Xiwu. The eldest princess had a headache, so she asked Hua Qian to think calmly and then decide to divorce and make the decision for her.

After leaving the door, the chamberlain Gao came up to him and said that Zhong Xiwu was looking for Hua Qian. As soon as Hua Qian entered the door, she was measured by a nanny holding a rope. Zhong Xiwu said bluntly that he planned to make her a new dress, and she could make the decision to divorce herself. However, in Hua Qian's view, Zhong Xiwu was just using himself as an excuse to prepare gifts for Mu Yao. So, she couldn't help but persuade her that even if Mu Yao didn't marry Zhong Yelan as a concubine, according to her temperament, she would never be willing to be a big lady trapped in the inner house, so Zhong Xiwu had better think carefully. Hearing this, Zhong Xiwu's eyes were full of disappointment, and he squeezed his knees tightly with both hands to prevent himself from having an attack.

Later, Hua Qian returned to the Hua family. She bluntly stated that she planned to divorce, and reminded Hua Wenang that the Hua family is now surrounded by enemies, and there are handles everywhere. If time goes by, they will be held in someone's hands and they will not be able to break free. People like Hua Wenang step on countless people just to climb higher. The higher they climb, the more hidden dangers they have. In the end, when they are surrounded on all sides, they will only lose more. Now regarding the Huashen matter, Hua Wenang's request for help from Wumen is just a kind of proof. Hua Wenang couldn't refute, but he was unwilling to give up his power, so he could only change the subject and ask Hua Qian why he had changed. Hua Qian ignored him and continued to persuade him that if his father resigned now, the Hua family would still have a chance to spend the rest of their lives in peace.

Here, Mu Yao has already investigated that although there is no news about the Yaren who originally bought furniture for the Mu family, she had adopted a little girl who was bought and sold by her out of love in the early years and took her as her adopted daughter. Later, she even sent her adopted daughter off to get married privately, so she must have had a deep relationship with her. Today, the adopted daughter Xu lives in the border town. Zhong Yelan was very surprised and planned to follow up on this clue. But when he heard that Hua Qian asked the eldest princess to reconcile today, the joy on his face disappeared instantly.

After returning to the room, Mu Yao was startled by Wu Shuomo who came uninvited. Wu Shuomo told Mu Yao that when she and Zhong Yelan met under the tree that day, she was actually there. He wanted to step forward to help, but Zhong Yelan beat him to it. Mu Yao recalled everything in the past and knew that Wu Shuomo did not lie. They missed it by mistake, and Hua Qian was probably the one who caused it.

When she learned that someone was coming to visit her family, the girl from the Qi family was very happy and ran out in a hurry regardless of the etiquette of ladies. When she saw the supervisor Jin Lin, she almost ran up to him. Fortunately, the maid reminded her and she did not break the rules. When she learned that Jin Lin was planning to get married, the girl from the Qi family felt that all her hopes had been dashed. The future seemed to have suddenly dimmed and she couldn't see the way forward. She tore a piece of paper into pieces, blaming herself for not being able to recognize the person in the first place.
