Scent of Time (2023) Episode 25

Nov 1, 2023

Zhong Yelan didn't understand, since Zhong Xiwu was worried about the Meng family monopolizing power, why he wasn't worried that he would be like the Meng family. Zhong Xiwu couldn't help laughing. If Zhong Yelan had such an idea, he would have been fully capable of seizing power when he succeeded as the head of the family. Hearing this answer, Zhong Yelan was very satisfied. The relationship between the two brothers had never changed. Naturally, Zhong Yelan would not refuse Zhong Xiwu's request.

After Hua Shen died, the guilt in her heart made Hua Qian never dare to visit her mother. But there was no hatred between mother and daughter overnight. When there was no trouble at the moment, Hua Qian went to the courtyard to visit her mother. Hua's mother turned gray overnight and knew that she should not blame Hua Qian for Hua Shen's death. The mother and daughter hugged each other tightly, tears welling up in their eyes. After that, Hua Qian always stayed with her parents, and the family of three enjoyed themselves so happily. However, as the banquet on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year in Zhongshi Garden approached, this happiness also dissipated.

Worried that her mother would lose control of her mood, Hua Qian specifically asked her to stay at home that day. Hua Wenang agreed very much and said that after the banquet, he would resign from the post of governor. Hua Qian took the opportunity to ask whether his father had a personal relationship with Wu Shuomo. Hua Wenang made no bones about it and said that he got the low-quality agarwood fragrance recipe from Wu Shuomo. He also knew that Wu Shuomo took in the Ge family who had fled. Hua Qian was shocked. She recalled that in her previous life, there was no such thing. She couldn't help but sneer. Her father had really kept this matter secret. He had already taken advantage of Wu Shuomo, and no matter how arrogant he was, he would not reveal it.

After learning everything about the Mu family from his father, Hua Qian suddenly felt relieved. She couldn't help but laugh at herself. After trying it all over again, God had dug such a big hole for her. Then, she called Hua Rongzhou and asked him to set off immediately tomorrow to find a place to stay in a small southern town. Hua Rongzhou was worried that Hua Qian was going to take him away, so he refused to go. In order to let him leave with peace of mind, Hua Qian made all his requests in detail and promised that he would keep his promise. At some point, an inexplicable aroma came over again. The strange thing is that Hua Rongzhou actually smelled it, and it was emanating from Hua Qian. But even if she was close to Hua Qian, Qian Zhi couldn't smell anything.

On the day of the banquet, Hua Qian called Meng Yifei out and sent the female envoy away. Hua Qian didn't want to make excuses with her anymore, and said frankly that she knew her ambitions. Meng Yifei stopped pretending and openly broke up with Hua Qian. But after all, she was no match for Hua Qian. No matter how hard she tried, she was still stepped on by Hua Qian. Meng Yifei still refused to admit defeat and even shamelessly mentioned Huashen. Her brother's death was like a thorn in Hua Qian's heart. The murderer Meng Yifei actually mentioned her brother's name openly. How could Hua Qian care about anything? He was so angry that he pushed her against the rocks. The rocks scratched Meng Yifei's face, and blood flowed for a while.

The guard whispered something into Zhong Xiwu's ear, and his eyes turned towards Hua Qian. Hua Qian managed not to hide it, raised her head and glared back. Zhong Xiwu seemed to sigh, and then asked the guard to go down. After Hua Qian told her father a few words, she got up and knelt down in front of the hall and confessed in public. The case of Mu Yunping a year ago was actually framed intentionally by the Hua family. Mu Yao stood up quickly and said frankly that the past had been settled, hinting Hua Qian not to mention it again. But Hua Wenang suddenly stood up and admitted the crime of framing.

Hua Qian was filled with confusion, and it wasn't until Zhong Xiwu walked up to her and praised her for her righteousness in annihilating her relatives that she suddenly understood what was going on. Afterwards, she quickly stated that her father had always been sympathetic to Mu Yunping and had not known about it from beginning to end. It was actually because she was jealous of Mu Yao and had Zhong Yelan. Hearing these words, Hua Wen looked up to the sky and screamed, then knelt down next to Hua Qian and took all the blame on himself. At this time, Hua Qian realized that everything he did after his rebirth was seen by his father. Hua Qian couldn't help but think of the way his brother blocked the sword for him. He didn't want to watch his relatives leave him, so he planned to argue for his father again. But her father blocked her mouth. When Zhong Xiwu saw this, he quickly ordered someone to take Hua Wenang away.
