Episode 6
After the meal, Liu Miantang was slightly disturbed by the incident of frying rice with too much oil. She asked about the fried rice with crab roe to test Cui Xingzhou's feelings. Unexpectedly, she received a cold response and left the table sadly.As night fell, she mustered up the courage to confess her true feelings to Cui Xingzhou on the bed, saying that she had been reluctant to marry in the past. Although she was grateful for his deep affection, she still had a hard knot in her heart and was willing to choose between divorce or maintaining the status quo.The two of them stayed silent all night and slept in separate rooms.
On the other side, the chief rudder of the Chamber of Commerce visited the palace with his beloved daughter He Zhen. When He Zhen saw Cui Xingzhou, the scene of the hero saving the beauty in the past was vivid in his mind, and ripples in his heart arose again.Cui Xingzhou took advantage of his power to cleverly arrange transportation matters for the Chamber of Commerce, using tax cuts as a inducement, and the chief helmsman agreed.Liu Miantang learned of this news and made a smart plan to buy the only way for the Chamber of Commerce to pass by, forcing the Chamber of Commerce to accept him as a member.
Cui Xingzhou cared about Liu Miantang, and when he heard the news of his illness, he returned home urgently, but unexpectedly saw that he was pretending to be ill and was planning for the Chamber of Commerce.When she first joined the Chamber of Commerce, Liu Miantang encountered contempt, and the gifts given by her family members turned out to be a laughing stock. She was puzzled, so she returned home to investigate and found that Cui Xingzhou had secretly purchased many treasures, and her doubts gradually dissipated.In order to find out the truth, she followed her quietly, but Cui Xingzhou understood her intention and cleverly arranged to go to the chess court to create an illusion, making Liu Miantang mistakenly think that he relied on flattery for a living.
The misunderstanding was resolved, Liu Miantang advised Cui Xingzhou with heartfelt words not to forget his original intention, to stay away from the secular world, and promised that he would not need to worry about family matters.Cui Xingzhou accepted the teachings sincerely, and the two of them were relieved. That night, Liu Miantang took the initiative to move the bedding to the study, slept together on the bed, and reconciled.
