Episode 8
Liu Miantang's appreciation for Cui Xingzhou has deepened recently. After learning about his hidden medical condition, she even put more effort into dressing up and striving to improve herself both internally and externally.The night the two slept together, she carefully prepared a set of sultry pajamas. Her skin was like snow, and she looked even more elegant against the delicate fabric.She took the initiative to show off this “secret beauty”, which made Cui Xingzhou feel disturbed, but he resisted the impulse and quietly left the room with a lot of thoughts.
At the same time, Cui Xingzhou learned that his old enemy Ziyu was missing, was hiding in Qingzhou, and had close contacts with the powerful minister Shi Yikuan.With the fire of revenge burning, he decided to use Liu Miantang as bait to lay a dragnet.Therefore, he proposed to take Liu Miantang and his party to Qingzhou. On the surface, it was a trip, but in fact, it was a secret. He wanted to take this opportunity to get close to Shi Yikuan and expand the porcelain trade route.
Liu Miantang knew nothing about Cui Xingzhou's plan and only thought about the future of the porcelain workshop.She took a few treasures with her and embarked on a journey to Qingzhou with great expectations.Cui Xingzhou secretly arranged for Liu Miantang to go first while he observed the movement in the dark.As expected, Liu Miantang attracted Ziyu's attention as soon as he arrived in Qingzhou.
In an antique shop, Liu Miantang fell in love with an exquisite chessboard at first sight, but regretfully gave up because the price was high and it was already reserved.As everyone knows, all this is Tzuyu's careful arrangement.He quietly canceled the reservation just to meet Liu Miantang again.Upon seeing this, Cui Xingzhou knew that Ziyu had taken the bait, so he deliberately took Liu Miantang around the market to attract Ziyu to show up.
Finally, in a chance encounter, Cui Xingzhou and Tzuyu confront each other.Liu Miantang felt inexplicably familiar and kind to Ziyu, but he could not remember the past.When the two were playing chess, Liu Miantang's chess skills coincided with Ziyu's, which gave her a splitting headache, and the door to memory seemed about to open.Cui Xingzhou took the opportunity to win and left with Liu Miantang, but he was full of doubts about the relationship between Liu Miantang and Ziyu.
On the way home, Cui Xingzhou secretly sent someone to explore Liu Miantang's memory clues, and Liu Miantang also eagerly asked her mother to confirm her past with Ziyu.In order to find out what he was talking about, Mammy deliberately made up a lie, saying that Ziyu was Liu Miantang's former lover.Liu Miantang was confused after hearing this, but Cui Xingzhou comforted her in time, saying that the two had no real relationship, which made her feel a little relieved.
