A Love Never Lost Episode 28 Recap
> A Love Never Lost Recap
\------------------28----------------- Second Prince was dissatisfied with his current position. Liang Xiang promised that once things settled down, he would speak to the Regent about promoting the Second Prince. Only then did the Second Prince leave. After he left, Yang Kaizhi spoke with Liang Xiang. Like the Second Prince, he was not content with his current post and wanted to move up.
Liang Xiang pointed out a path for him: the key position of commander of the Sixth Division was about to become vacant. With his credentials as a frontier hero, Yang Kaizhi was fully qualified, but he needed someone to support him. That person would be Xiao Erzi's father, King Qing. But to get King Qing to act, money would be necessary.
Yang Kaizhi temporarily left Yu Bugu at the Liang residence and asked Duo Mei to help take care of him. Liang’s mother took one look at the child and immediately adored him. Duo Mei quietly said to Liang Xiang that it was time to give his mother a grandchild. Yang Kaizhi wrote a letter to Shanghai asking Song Baoquan to lend him thirty thousand.
Since Xie Shuhong was heading to Beijing, Song Baoquan went to Song Chen and asked him to have Xie Shuhong deliver the message and the money to Yang Kaizhi. Song Baoquan had only one request for Yang Kaizhi: spend less, accomplish more. As for Song Chen, he could no longer idle away his days—Song Baoquan told him to go join the commercial militia and train as a squad officer.
Wu Tianbai had finished making the bombs and had Xie Shuhong take them to Beijing. Once again, Wu Tianbai and Xie Shuhong had to part. Wu Tianbai didn’t know how to say anything poetic—he only said he missed Yu Bugu, and that he hoped Xie Shuhong could bring the boy back with her from Beijing. Although Yu Bugu was not his biological son, Wu Tianbai had always treated him as his own. Xie Shuhong understood that well.
Besides that, Wu Tianbai had nothing more to say. Xie Shuhong also knew that a man like Wu Tianbai was never truly hers. Carrying the luggage that held the bombs, she wiped her tears and left the electrical shop to return to her residence. No one expected what would happen the next day. A-Xia didn’t take Wu Tianbai’s warnings seriously and placed a boiling kettle, just taken off the stove, directly onto the detonators.
The detonators exploded, killing both A-Xia and Wu Tianbai. Living not far away, Xie Shuhong rushed over when she heard the noise and her eyes reddened as she looked at the scorched building. Yang Kaizhi went to the Liang residence to pick up Yu Bugu and took the child to Zhengyang Gate to meet Xie Shuhong.
Xie Shuhong handed the money to Yang Kaizhi without saying a word about Wu Tianbai, but as soon as Yang Kaizhi stepped out of the room, she held Yu Bugu tightly and cried. Zai Tao had no interest in martial drills and even less in training the Imperial Guards. His passion was solely in horse riding.
So he let Liang Xiang handle the actual responsibilities while he provided assistance from the sidelines, as long as it didn’t require him to use his brain. That evening, Yang Kaizhi finally noticed something was off with Xie Shuhong. Ever since returning from Zhengyang Gate, she had been distracted. Even during the hot pot dinner, she looked downcast, clearly burdened with something. Later that night, Yang Kaizhi called Xie Shuhong out to the courtyard and asked what was wrong.
Xie Shuhong remained silent for a long time before finally revealing that Wu Tianbai had died. Yang Kaizhi stood up in shock—he hadn’t heard a word about it. Xie Shuhong explained that their comrades in Shanghai didn’t want the news to spread, so very few people knew. Her trip to Beijing this time was to fulfill Wu Tianbai’s final wish. Now that her tasks in Beijing were nearly done, she didn’t know what else she could do.
Back when Wu Tianbai gave her missions, she always had a clear direction to work toward. Now that Wu Tianbai was gone, her heart felt empty and her future was full of uncertainty.
