Scent of Time (2023) Episode 29

Nov 7, 2023

Yun Niang told Hua Qian that she had been married before, but her life was not satisfactory. After the miscarriage of her first child, Yun Niang was no longer able to have children. Her husband used this excuse to take in many concubines. Those concubines relied on their husband's favor to facilitate Yun Niang to boss her around. The clothes Yun Niang had to wash piled up like a mountain every day. Over time, the frostbite on her hands healed and then cracked, turning into calluses on her hands. She originally wanted to join her mother's family, but in the end she was not tolerated by her mother's family and had to come out to make a living on her own.

Hua Qian felt very distressed after hearing what happened to Yun Niang. She apologized to Yun Niang, saying that she didn't mean to reveal her scars, but she had suffered too many betrayals in the past, so she was always suspicious. Yun Niang just smiled and said she didn't care. Hua Qian suddenly felt stuffy in her heart, and only the light of the lanterns in front of her made her feel at ease. Simply, Hua Qian stood up and wrote an inscription and sent the lantern into the water. Yun Niang looked at the lamp, her eyes not leaving for a long time, as if she wanted to remember its appearance. Then, this red paper filled with Hua Qian's blessings appeared in front of Zhong Xiwu.

On the fifth day of every month, Hua Rongzhou comes again. In the past two years, Hua Rongzhou has never been absent. Because Zhong Xiwu had promised him that as long as he defeated the Lin Jiang brothers, he would tell him about Hua Qian. This time, Hua Rongzhou did it. But Zhong Xiwu just told him that Hua Qian was dead. Hua Rongzhou couldn't believe it, but right now he didn't have any clues about Hua Qian. Despite this, he will continue to look for Hua Qian until he grows old.

Seeing Hua Rongzhou's persistence, Zhong Xiwu was a little envious. Hua Rongzhou can openly and honestly explore Hua Qian's whereabouts. He is the person Hua Qian wants to wait for. However, as the head of the family, he can only secretly know Hua Qian's life through his eyes, like a mouse hiding in the dark. Greedily stealing the sunshine that does not belong to you. He sighed softly and told Hua Rongzhou about Hua Qian's whereabouts. After Hua Rongzhou left, Zhong Xiwu burned all the letters sent by Yun Niang, as if to say goodbye to the past and completely let go of his obsession with Hua Qian.

On this day, Hua Qian went to find Yun Niang, but she had disappeared. Without Yun Niang's company, Hua Qian could only carry a lantern and walk alone. But at some point, a "tail" followed behind him. Hua Qian was so frightened that he quickened his pace, but the "tail" showed no intention of stopping. Hua Qian had no choice but to take out the bracelet given to him by Hua Rongzhou, intending to fight to the death with the "tail" behind him. She was fully prepared, but she was pleasantly surprised to find that this "tail" was actually Hua Rongzhou. Only then did a hanging heart fall. When we met again after a long absence, thousands of words merged into a tight hug.

As happy as Hua Qian was Hua Rongzhou's appearance, there was Xu Ming. Feeling depressed about being chased by Bai Luo, Xu Ming went to Hua Rongzhou and asked him to teach him a Kung Fu that Bai Luo couldn't catch up with. Hua Qian had a headache from the quarrel between the two people, but she really felt lively. She liked this kind of liveliness. But the excitement didn't last long. From Bai Luo's mother, Hua Qian heard something deep in her heart that she never dared to mention - the Hua family. She didn't want to go home and take a look, but now that she was dead, there was no way she could return to the troubled Huangcheng.

Hua Qian sometimes wondered what his father was thinking as he watched her collect evidence of his crime. But she knew that her father never blamed her. But precisely because of this, Hua Qian felt more and more guilty and helpless. Not knowing how to deal with such a mood, Hua Qian sat in the yard until the moon rose. Hua Rongzhou also sat aside and accompanied him quietly. After thinking for a whole day, Hua Qian finally figured it out. The place that I had always wanted to escape from was the warmest.

On this day, Hua Qian was doing laundry by the river as usual, when a familiar face suddenly appeared in front of him. Hua Rongzhou came over and motioned to Hua Qian to meet Zhong Xiwu. From Zhong Xiwu's words, Hua Qian learned that his parents had been properly settled and they had returned to their hometown. Everything seemed to be getting better, and Hua Qian couldn't help but smile on her face. After Zhong Xiwu left, Hua Qian asked Hua Rongzhou to deliver a bowl of longevity noodles for him. This is a bowl of noodles that Zhong Xiwu has always dreamed of, but this time, he is no longer obsessed with it. He let Hua Qian go, and he also let himself go.
