Scent of Time (2023) Episode 7

By chance, Hua Rongzhou entered the Zhong family and became a guard. Because of his handsome appearance, many maids of the Zhong family were very fond of him. Cuizhu, the maid in Hua Qian's courtyard, liked him very much and asked Hua Qian several times to summon Hua Rongzhou into the courtyard. Hua Qian had no choice but to agree.

Zhong Xiwu asked Magistrate Wang whether all the Ge family members who escaped at the beginning were now arrested. After all, the Ge family also declined because of the Zhong family, so it is inevitable that there will be some revenge in the heart. Magistrate Wang hurriedly explained the situation, saying that there had been very little news about the Ge family recently. Maybe they were frightened and hid secretly.

At this time, Hua Qian was suffering from a headache, and there were many subsequent accidents. With his current body and bones, he might not be able to withstand the ancestor worship ceremony. So she exercised in the courtyard every day, sometimes skipping rope, sometimes playing shuttlecock with the maids, and she was as happy as a child. The wet nurse dared not speak out in anger, so she could only shout, "It's inappropriate." In the end, Hua Qian still went his own way. Hua Rongzhou outside the hospital was happy to see Hua Qian like this. He couldn't help but chuckle when he saw her making the wet nurse so angry that she beat her chest and back.

On the day of the ancestor worship ceremony, Hua Qian couldn't help but look forward to what would happen next. According to her past memories, Wu Shuomo would pretend to be a member of the Ge family and lead a group of men in black to cause trouble. In order to save Zhong Yelan, Mu Yao did not hesitate to put himself in danger and used a sharp arrow. Hua Qian couldn't help but get excited when she thought of this. Because this time, she wanted to steal Mu Yao's life-saving grace. But the ceremony was about to end, Hua Qian looked around, still unable to wait for the hidden arrow. While he was thinking, a sharp arrow flew from nowhere and pierced the table in front of Zhong Xiwu. Then, a group of masked men in black flew down from the eaves, asking the Zhong family to quickly hand over the Ge Jiaxiang prescription.

The scene was in chaos, Hua Qian hurriedly hid in the distance and observed everything, waiting for the arrow to stab Zhong Yelan. But someone who didn't have eyesight actually walked towards Hua Qian with a knife in his hand. Fortunately, Hua Rongzhou appeared in time and saved her. Hua Qian originally wanted to ask the name of the guard in front of him and repay him in the future, but before the other person could finish speaking, the sharp arrow ran straight towards Zhong Yelan.

Hua Qian hurried over and pushed Mu Yao away. I thought to myself, if you want to save someone, you can just push them away, why bother blocking the arrow with your body. Thinking like this, Mu Yao was pushed far away, and Hua Qian turned around and planned to push Zhong Yelan away. But Zhong Yelan was so powerful that Hua Qian couldn't push him. So Hua Qian was surprised to be hit by an arrow. Fortunately, his heart was not hurt, and Hua Qian was not in fear of his life.

After lying there for an unknown amount of time, Hua Qian finally woke up. She felt her mouth was dry and she hurriedly called Qian Zhi's name. Hearing the noise, Zhong Yelan hurried in and asked Hua Qian to take a good rest. But Hua Qian felt that it would be too late if he didn't tell the truth, so he tried his best to spit out a few words from his dry mouth. She bluntly said that the little girl in the ancestral hall was not her, but Mu Yao, and the mistake that day was not made by Zhong Yelan, but was deliberately designed by herself. And she just hopes that the crime is not as bad as that of her family. Hearing these words, Zhong Yelan felt mixed emotions and walked out of the room angrily. Seeing this, Qian Zhi was worried that Hua Qian would be ignored again in the future, but Hua Qian felt relieved.

Since returning to two years ago, Hua Qian has always smelled a strange aroma. But after asking for a week, no one knew about this fragrance, and no one smelled it like her. Because she is now weak, this fragrance is even more unpleasant to her, causing her to fall into a nightmare. In her dream, all the events of those two years were vivid in her mind, but there was always a familiar yet unfamiliar voice calling her name. In a daze, Hua Qian saw Zhong Xiwu's face, and couldn't help but said in disgust, "I can't live peacefully in my dreams." Unexpectedly, the Zhong Xiwu in front of him was really a real living person. After listening to her words, he couldn't help but joke that he turned out to be so annoying.

Zhong Xiwu asked about the ancestor worship ceremony and wondered why she could be so calm and decisive. Hua Qian thought that Zhong Xiwu was doubting himself, so regardless of his physical weakness, he stood up and knelt down, saying bluntly that if he really wanted to design something, how could he put himself in the situation and risk his own life. Besides, he brought the doctor here today, and it was already clear that his injuries were not fake. Listening to Hua Qian's words, Zhong Xiwu's eyes flashed with panic.
