Scent of Time (2023) Episode 28

Nov 7, 2023

Hua Qian woke up from the nightmare and didn't know where she was. She stood up and opened the door, and what came into view was the gentleness and leisure of the Jiangnan water town. She couldn't help but smile, put down her guard and looked at her house carefully. There is a letter on the table, which was left to her by the eldest princess. It turned out that the cup of wine that day was not poisonous wine, and the eldest princess did not intend to kill her, but used this method to help her escape Huangcheng and keep the Hua family safe. Although she felt reluctant to give up, Hua Qian was still grateful that things were much better than in her previous life, at least she was alive.

Hua Rongzhou was covered with wounds and found a familiar doctor for treatment. The doctor had an apprentice who was about the same age as him. As an elder, he couldn't help but persuade him to stay away. Too many wounds would scare the girl he liked. Hearing this, Hua Rongzhou couldn't help but proudly said that the girl he fell in love with was not an ordinary girl. Come to think of it, he first met Hua Qian when he was sixteen years old.

The doctor is familiar with Hua Rongzhou because this young man has been here many times. At this time of every month, he always comes here injured. I still remember that the first time he came here, he was dragged here. The man just showed him the Zhong family's talisman and told him to watch for medical treatment and not to reveal the matter. After spending several months together, the doctor couldn't help but feel pity. Hua Rongzhou looked like he was seventeen or eighteen, but there was only pain and despair in his eyes. He didn't understand what had been taken away from such a young man to make him so stubborn.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Hua Rongzhou broke into Zhong's Garden again. But every time, the two brothers Lin Jiang and Lin Han would always defeat him. But as time went by, Hua Rongzhou's martial arts improved a lot, and this time, Lin Han was defeated by him. In the willow trees at night, the doctor was sitting in front of the hall, as if waiting for someone. In the dead of night, Hua Rongzhou finally arrived. The doctor was setting his bones, but he didn't feel any pain and just stared blankly at the moon outside.

On this day, Qian Zhi met Hua Rongzhou and talked to him about Hua Qian. On the day of the banquet, Hua Qian insisted not to let her follow him, and then gave her a shop, returned her bond of sale, and paved all the way back for her. Now that things have come to an end, Qian Zhi is waiting in this shop. If Hua Qian comes back one day, she will have a home to return to. Hua Rongzhou told Qian Zhi to wait carefully, because he believed that one day, he would find Hua Qian.

In order to choose a mistress for Zhongshiyuan, the eldest princess sent letters to all the supervisors, inviting their daughters to stay in Huangcheng. And Meng Yifei's sister is also among them. Hearing this, Meng Yifei was very angry and ran to question Zhong Xiwu. Seeing Zhongxi Wuman's nonchalant look, Meng Yifei didn't care about her dignity and insulted Hua Qian in public. Zhong Xiwu was furious, but seeing Meng Yifei getting more and more crazy, he couldn't bear it and just sent her home. On the day she left Zhongshi Garden, she saw with her own eyes her sister sitting in a sedan chair and being respectfully carried into Zhongshi Garden to take her place.

Here, the neighbor's eldest brother brought another snack. Hua Qian declined in every possible way, but to no avail. By chance, he met Yun Niang who was about to go out, so Hua Qian called her over. Yun Niang saw Hua Qian's dilemma, so she changed direction and came over to talk to Hua Qian. Hua Qian was very happy, pulled Yun Niang into the house, and hastily declined the elder brother. Bai Luo on the side couldn't help laughing when he saw the excitement in front of him.

Everyone gathered around the lake and put river lanterns filled with wishes into the water. Seeing that Yun Niang was unmoved, Hua Qian couldn't help but ask. Yun Niang told Hua Qian that she had asked for too much in her life and got nothing in the end, so she doesn't want anything now. Hua Qian couldn't help but sigh. She suddenly remembered that Yun Niang had never mentioned her past in the more than a year since she moved here. However, Hua Qian was able to detect that Yun Niang knew martial arts.
