Scent of Time (2023) Episode 12

Oct 23, 2023

Hua Qian persuaded Wu Shuomo that if he really liked Mu Yao, he should ask her about her feelings. If Muyao also has her in his heart, then no one can stop him from taking her away. Here, the eldest princess sent someone to send a box of jewelry to Mu Yao to congratulate her on marrying into Zhongzhai as she wished. Mu Yao was very confused and didn't know why the eldest princess was doing this.

After Gao Chamberlain left, Zhong Yelan asked Hua Qian why she went to Zhong's Garden yesterday and why the eldest princess sent someone to the house to take Mu Yao as a concubine today. Hua Qian was very confused. She just followed his wishes, so where could he have any reason to be angry. Seeing that Zhong Yelan had no intention of calming down, Hua Qian asked him, but felt that Mu Yao had been wronged by the identity of the young lady. If this was the case, he could give up his position as the eldest lady.

As soon as Zhong Yelan left, Mu Yao came to ask Hua Qian if he felt that by giving him the status of a concubine, he would be able to suppress himself better in the future. Hua Qian was speechless for a moment and asked, which one is easier to bully, the envoy or the young lady. Seeing that Mu Yao still refused to believe her good intentions, Hua Qian was unwilling to argue with her anymore. After returning to the room, Hua Qian looked through the books, trying to prepare a grand wedding for Zhong Yelan and Mu Yao. But the wet nurse told her that there was no wedding or wedding clothes in the concubine's room, and the sedan she was sitting in could only be entered from the side door. After passing through the door, she had to serve tea to the eldest lady. However, the wedding banquet can be organized.

Hua Shen gave a concubine to someone, but the girl refused to live or die, and finally committed suicide by hitting a pillar. Hua Shen didn't know what to do, so he had to go to Zhongzhai to ask Hua Qian for advice. Hearing this, Hua Qian was furious and accused Hua Shen of becoming so bold and reckless. Hua Shen wanted to explain something more, so Hua Qian shouted to Hua Rongzhou and asked him to summon Nanfeng. Hua Qian asked Nanfeng to go back to Hua Shen's mansion for him and ask the girls in Huashen's backyard. If they were willing to leave, he would ensure that they had no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Hearing this, Hua Shen couldn't sit still and felt that Hua Qian was making a fuss. Those girls were just slaves and could naturally be left to their own devices. Hua Qian was so angry that she almost trembled. She pinched her hand tightly and let her anger subside a little. But she really couldn't bear that Hua Shen treated human life so little, because she knew deeply how painful it was for those who were treated as nothing. But Hua Shen still didn't take it seriously, and felt very wronged and his sister blamed him. Hua Qian couldn't bear it anymore, so she asked Nanfeng to take Hua Shen back and told her father on her behalf that if she didn't discipline Hua Shen properly, she couldn't imagine the consequences.

Zhong Yelan apologized to Mu Yao, saying that Hua Qianhui had made a mistake and he had no knowledge of the concubine. Mu Yao didn't take it seriously and even bluntly stated that she was willing to become his concubine. Zhong Yelan was very happy and held Mu Yao's hand tightly. Hua Qian, who was going out to relax, saw the scene in front of him. His heart was not disturbed and he turned around and went to another place.

On the wedding day, seeing the smile on Hua Qian's face, Zhong Xiwu couldn't help but ask, was Zhong Yelan completely gone from her heart? Hua Qian felt guilty and lowered his head to show that he was overthinking. Zhong Xiwu didn't know what he was thinking, and nodded slightly. After those red tapes were over, Zhong Yelan took Mu Yao back to the room in front of Hua Qian. The banquet started soon, and Hua Qian was much happier than anyone present. But after a while, such happy mood was quickly dissipated by Hua Shen.

Hua Shen was drinking heavily, so Hua Qian sent Cuizhu to remind him not to cause trouble. Hua Shen just waved his hand to Cuizhu, and then fell asleep. After a long time, news came that Hua Shen had gone to Mu Yao's room at some unknown time. When Mu Yao arrived, they saw Hua Shen lying unconscious on the ground, and Mu Yao huddled in the corner of the bed with disheveled clothes. There was only a female envoy beside her.
