Scent of Time (2023) Episode 2

Oct 16, 2023

Huaman is no longer the eldest lady of the Hua family, but has become the first-class maid of the Zhong family. She mentioned Mu Yunping who was thrown into prison, implying that Hua Qian sent a message to the Hua family and pursued victory so that the Mu family would never be able to turn over. Before Huaman finished speaking, Hua Qian slammed the table and blamed Huaman for talking about the Mu family's affairs. Besides, the Hua family had nothing to do with this matter. Hearing this, Na Huaman was confused for a while, then seemed to understand something, and then seemed to laugh at Hua Qian for being too careful. He smiled and said that everything had been taken care of here.

Hua Qian had a headache, and suddenly understood why the Hua family lost. Hua Qian directly exposed Hua Man, saying that when she entered the Zhong Family Garden, she was not sent by the Hua family to spread the news, but she jumped in on her own initiative. Hua Man was so angry that he ignored the current relationship of superiority and inferiority and accused Hua Qian of crossing the river and burning the bridge. Hua Qian pretended to be innocent, and then continued talking slowly. Hua Man wanted to enter Zhong's Garden, but he just coveted Zhong Xiwu. As soon as she finished speaking, she walked out.

As soon as he returned to the living room, Zhong Yelan ran over anxiously, took Hua Qian's hand and asked her if she was okay. Hua Qian shook his head and said nothing. At this time, the eldest princess's personal maid leaned slightly closer to the eldest princess, as if she was talking to her about something. The eldest princess then smiled and joked about the newlyweds. Hua Qian suddenly understood that the eldest princess had already known about falling into the water. The reason why she did not expose Hua Man was just to test her.

The eldest princess called Hua Qian to her side and gave Hua Qian the jade bracelet given to her by the late emperor in front of everyone. Everyone present was shocked. Even Hua Qian himself did not expect this. After everyone left, the eldest princess stroked her empty wrist and couldn't help but sigh, it turned out that there were times when she couldn't see clearly. Hua Qian was also lost in thought. She was stroking the jade bracelet and was filled with emotions.

When she returned to Zhongfu, night had fallen, and Hua Qian felt sore all over her body. She just wanted to get rid of the burden on her body and have a good sleep. But the wet nurse was reluctant and insisted on letting Hua Qian deliver dinner to Zhong Yelan no matter what. Hua Qian was impatient and had no choice but to do as he was told. Zhong Yelan looked a little apologetic and said frankly that he was busy with official duties recently and was afraid that he wouldn't be able to accompany her. Hua Qian didn't care and immediately stood up to leave. This caught Zhong Yelan off guard, and he began to think about something in his heart. He called the housekeeper Ji Dong and asked him to send the housekeeper's talisman and account book to Hua Qian. Hua Qian originally wanted to refuse, but seeing what Butler Ji wanted, this was indeed Zhong Yelan's instruction, so she had no choice but to accept.

On the day of returning home, the Zhongfu guards suddenly came to report that Mu Yao had escaped. Zhong Yelan's expression changed drastically, but he immediately tried his best to control his inner restlessness, for fear that Hua Qian on the side would see something strange. But as everyone knows, Hua Qian already knew what happened. Instead of being left in the middle by Zhong Yelan like before, it would be better to take the initiative to let Zhong Yelan go. When he pleads guilty in the future, maybe he will still miss today's old relationship. With this in mind, Hua Qian told Zhong Yelan very calmly that if there was anything important, just deal with it first.

The beggar Hua Rongzhou was chased by a businessman and stopped Hua Qian's carriage. In the past, Hua Qian would not have meddle in other people's business, but now she only hopes that her good deeds today will protect her in the future. So, she personally negotiated with the businessman and rescued Hua Rongzhou. At this time, a pair of eyes were watching her every move. Seeing her being so kind to a stranger, Zhong Xiwu upstairs unconsciously showed a playful smile. Hua Qian noticed the fiery eyes upstairs, turned around, saluted, and then got into the carriage.

Finally arriving in Washington, Hua Qian suddenly felt as if her heart had stopped beating. She seemed to still be able to smell the rust coming from her father's neck. But now, his father and mother are standing in front of him alive, and Hua Qian has mixed feelings in his heart. In order to avoid making the same mistake again, Hua Qian hurriedly interceded for the Mu family in front of his father, hoping that his father would not do anything wrong. Hua Wenang was very surprised. He thought that Hua Qian had many ideas to bring down the Mu family. He reminded Hua Qian that to cut the grass, you need to get rid of the roots.
