Scent of Time (2023) Episode 8

Oct 18, 2023

Seeing Hua Qian's aggrieved yet determined eyes, Zhong Xiwu regretted what he had just said and hurriedly stood up to help her. The moment his hand fell, Hua Qian had already stood up, supporting Qian Zhi beside her. A trace of disappointment flashed in Zhong Xiwu's eyes, and he hurriedly retracted his hand, but paused in mid-air. Later, Mu Yao came over and called Zhong Yelan to call Zhong Xiwu to the front hall for a chat.

Hua Qian doesn't understand why some people can easily win the love and trust of others, and fall in love at first sight with just one glance; while some people, after all their efforts, get hostility and speculation, and no matter how hard they try, they can't. Make others change their minds. She pressed her hand tightly against her injured heart and slowly closed her eyes. Those slender hands rose and fell with her breathing, making it clear that the thin woman on the bed was still a living person.

The people in the courtyard were all people who wanted to follow the trend. When they learned that Zhong Yelan and Hua Qian were at odds, they decided to quit. Hua Qian looked at the messy yard and just leaned gently against the door, not knowing what she was thinking. However, these days, Hua Qian has received a lot of treasures from Hua Shen - gold and silver jewelry. But she was a little confused as to why her brother was sending these things all day long but no one was there. It wasn't until the female envoy told her that she learned that she had completely lost her name in Zhong Yelan's heart.

Hua Shen and Mrs. Hua's wife came to Zhong's house, but they were stopped by Zhong Yelan. I don't know what they said. The Zhong's mother and son never dared to come again. Hua Qian was angry and immediately got up to look for Zhong Yelan, but was blocked by Mu Yao. She walked forward slowly, held Mu Yao's hand, and said frankly that she didn't dare to go over there, but she really didn't have any evil intentions towards her now. Mu Yao was shaken, but Zhong Yelan's cold voice of thanks came from inside. Hua Qian caressed her heart, and then solemnly announced to the people inside that she would invite herself to leave.

When going back, Hua Qian caught a glimpse of a familiar face. After taking a closer look, he discovered that it was the young man who saved him during the ancestor worship ceremony that day. This time, she finally heard the other party's name - Hua Rongzhou. Facing his savior, Hua Qian felt warm in his heart. She gently patted Hua Rongzhou on the shoulder and encouraged him to work hard in the future. Hua Rongzhou was flattered and felt dizzy for a moment.

Ever since Hua Qian proposed reconciliation, Zhong Yelan has been restless. He suddenly couldn't see clearly in his heart what kind of feelings he had for Hua Qian. Hua Qian, on the other hand, was taking a bath and drinking tea leisurely, feeling very comfortable. She always recalled Hua Rongzhou and wondered why he was so good-looking and had the same surname as her. When she saw the wet nurse coming in, she curiously inquired whether her father had an illegitimate child outside. The wet nurse was so frightened that she almost spilled the medicine soup and said frankly that Hua Du Guan had always been a gentleman. Hua Qian felt bored and had to lie down and rest. But she couldn't fall asleep after tossing and turning, so she got up and packed away the jewelry in the room, planning to pawn it tomorrow to save some money. While he was happily searching, he didn't know when Zhong Yelan walked in.

Zhong Yelan asked Hua Qian if he saved him at the ancestor worship ceremony that day just to balance the merits and demerits and then leave Zhongzhai conveniently. Hua Qian was speechless for a moment, then covered her chest and explained that she was deeply in love, but now she knew her past mistakes, so she corrected them in time. Unexpectedly, Zhong Yelan missed the point, saying that since Hua Qian was so affectionate, he was not an ungrateful person, so he simply continued to support her as an idler. Before Hua Qian could refuse, Zhong Yelan blew out the candle and left the room. But Zhong Yelan was really stingy. After returning, he reduced the manpower, money, and supplies in Huaqian's yard on the grounds of lack of manpower and saving money. Fortunately, Hua Qian still has a natal family who loves her and has strong financial resources.
