Episode 5: Yang Caiwei follows Pan Yue
Pan Yue was too lazy to continue acting and asked Yang Caiwei what happened that day. After realizing that Pan Yue might have found out that Shangguan Zhi had kidnapped her, Yang Caiwei immediately admitted it, but she ran away.
Pan Yue was unwilling to give up because he found Shangguan Zhi’s purse on Yang Caiwei’s body. Pan Yue, who didn’t know about the face-changing incident, thought that Shangguan Zhi had killed Yang Caiwei, but he didn’t know that the real Yang Caiwei was standing in front of him. Yang Caiwei forced herself to calm down, but Pan Yue pressed on step by step.
If she didn’t tell the truth today, he would not let Yang Caiwei leave alive. Pan Yue wanted her to pay for her life. Yang Caiwei was about to jump off the cliff in anger. After being stopped by Pan Yue, the two came to the edge of the cliff.
Yang Caiwei pointed at the corpses and said that they were her trusted subordinates. She wanted them to watch Yang Caiwei to scare her, but she didn’t expect a group of robbers to follow her, robbed everything and pushed them to the bottom of the pit. After she was rescued by Yang Caiwei and heard their story, she no longer obsessed with it.
Yang Caiwei spoke her true feelings through Shangguan Zhi’s mouth. When she went to the Pan family to find Pan Yue, she was turned away and was bullied and ridiculed because of the scar on her face. She thought that the two of them would end up living apart, but she didn’t expect that Pan Yue would come to her ten years later. It was all a misunderstanding and she really wanted to marry Pan Yue.
Zhuo Lanjiang, the young master of Yinyu Tower, returned to Heyang and notified the other three of the four major families that Pan Yue should be disgraced and kicked out of Heyang. Late at night, Yang Caiwei quietly followed Bai Xiaosheng to find Lao Jiangtou and saw her master Yang Caiwei crying.
On the wedding day, someone wanted to kill Lao Jiangtou. He didn’t see his face clearly, but saw that person wearing the groom’s wedding clothes. Lao Jiangtou also brought Yang Caiwei autopsy tools and told her to be careful. Yang Caiwei found her jade pendant and decided to find Yang Caiwei’s identity as soon as possible.
The next morning, someone came to report a case, and the person who reported the case was still Yinyu Tower. Constable Liu was panicked. Sun Zhen sued Pan Yue for murdering his wife, and Yang Caiwei wanted to take the opportunity to add fuel to the fire.
Pan Yue’s face did not change at all, and he promised to give everyone an answer within seven days. Yang Caiwei couldn’t guess Pan Yue’s thoughts, and suggested a public inspection of Yang Caiwei’s body, but Pan Yue said that he had his own arrangements and was confident. Yang Caiwei stared at Pan Yue and accidentally discovered that he had burned a letter, which mentioned Baihua Palace.
Yang Caiwei sneaked into Baihua Palace as a prostitute and came to the box where Pan Yue was. The Green Emperor told Pan Yue that he would not have a good end if he went against Zhuo Lanjiang. Three years ago, Jinshui Tower was destroyed by Yinyu Tower. The Green Emperor asked Pan Yue to meet with the purpose of forming an alliance with him.
If he wanted to make achievements, what could be more prestigious than taking down the four major clans. The Green Emperor was unwilling to be the last, and had long been fed up with the other three families. Pan Yue agreed.
Yang Caiwei witnessed this scene and silently cursed in her heart. However, her heart was in a mess, and her hands were also in a mess. The zither in her hands made a harsh sound, and Pan Yue took the opportunity to take her away.
In the carriage, Yang Caiwei lowered her head with a guilty conscience. Pan Yue warned her not to make trouble anymore. Since Shangguan Lan had kept her, he would protect her. Yang Caiwei agreed verbally, but her actions were no less, but Pan Yue stopped her when he left.
Yang Caiwei accidentally heard about who would win between Pan Yue and Zhuo Lanjiang, so she pretended to be mysterious and went to the gambling house to bet on Zhuo Lanjiang. She also said that there was an inside story, saying that Zhuo Lanjiang had found the burial place of Mrs. Pan, and Yang Caiwei wanted Pan Yue to take her to find the body.
After leaving the gambling house, Yang Caiwei accidentally met Ajiang. Ajiang was the person she rescued from the mass grave. She asked Ajiang to come back alive to see her, but when he came back, Yang Caiwei disappeared. He and Bai Xiaosheng were Yang Caiwei’s only friends in Heyang. Seeing Ajiang drunk and being driven away, Yang Caiwei hurried forward and was even more determined to find out the truth and end it all.
When Pan Yue was about to go out, Yang Caiwei asked someone to find some cucumber pollen and sprinkle it on the horse’s back, and followed along the trail at night. Pan Yue came to a peach forest, where she had said she would be buried.
After Pan Yue left, Yang Caiwei found the tablet he had set up and her well-preserved body.
