Believe in Love Episode 6 Recap
> Believe in Love Recap
Hua Yinan spent a restless night, replaying the image of Lu Yue'er suggesting he take Su Tang as a concubine. Lu Yue'er, on the other hand, slept soundly. The next morning, Lu Yue'er was startled awake by Nanny Jiang, who was there to begin her training as the Island Lord's wife. The training was difficult for Lu Yue'er, including memorizing fifteen taboos for using chopsticks.
She lamented how hard it was to be the Island Lord's wife, but resolved to remember everything so she wouldn't disappoint Hua Yinan. Hua Yinan secretly watched Lu Yue'er's diligent efforts and was pleased. Lu Yue'er noticed Hua Yinan was avoiding her and consulted Xiao Yi, expressing confusion about her feelings. She felt safe around him, but when he ignored her, she felt empty and lonely. Seeing him with other women made her feel depressed and unhappy.
Xiao Yi concluded that Lu Yue'er had fallen for Hua Yinan and advised her to make amends by creating origami mandarin ducks, a local custom to express affection. On her way back to the Island Lord's Mansion, a gambler bumped into Lu Yue'er and called out her mother's name, Yun Wan Xi. When Lu Yue'er tried to question him, he denied knowing her mother and quickly fled, leaving Lu Yue'er puzzled.
Hua Yinan had gathered doctors to consult on Lu Yue'er's heart condition. They reported her condition was unprecedented and they could only offer medicine to strengthen her heart and prolong her life, not a full cure, which disheartened Hua Yinan. Later, Hua Yinan watched Lu Yue'er sleeping and vowed to protect her for the rest of his life, regardless of whether she loved him. She stirred, caught his hand in her sleep, and apologized for giving away his mother's hairpin.
Hua Yinan confessed he was upset not just about the hairpin but also about her apparent lack of feelings for him. He would wait until she truly loved him and sleep in the wing room until then. Lu Yue'er then showed him the pair of paper mandarin ducks she had folded, revealing her cut and blistered hands. Hua Yinan was touched by her dedication and asked her to call him "Husband."
The next morning, Nanny Jiang checked the bedsheets for signs of consummation at Hua Yuman's instruction. Finding none, Hua Yuman confronted Lu Yue'er, questioning if she had been with another man before marriage. Lu Yue'er denied it and explained that she and Hua Yinan had not consummated their marriage. Hua Yuman speculated that Lu Yue'er was too thin and fragile to interest Hua Yinan. Recalling Hua Yinan's promise to wait, Lu Yue'er couldn't reveal the true reason.
Hua Yuman instructed Nanny Jiang to teach Lu Yue'er how to make a nourishing lamb and ginseng soup, which was known to improve blood circulation and boost male virility. Lu Yue'er diligently learned the recipe, understanding the implications for carrying on the family line. Lu Yue'er prepared the soup and fed it to Hua Yinan, who playfully accused her of causing trouble but accepted her efforts and embraced her.
Su Tang arrived to deliver a report and felt a pang of discomfort at the intimate scene. Lu Yue'er also felt a familiar stuffiness in her chest when she noticed the interaction between Hua Yinan and Su Tang. Su Tang reported that the Imperial Court had praised their recent tribute dishes, acknowledging Hua Yinan's talent and rewarding the chefs and stewards involved. That night, Lu Yue'er dressed seductively and performed a clumsy dance for Hua Yinan.
He was surprised and asked who had taught her to be so enticing. Lu Yue'er confessed she was just trying to please him. Hua Yinan reassured her that she didn't need to try so hard and that she was the only one in his heart. As they grew closer, Lu Yue'er remembered her "main task" of bearing children. However, their intimate moment was interrupted when Hua Yinan suddenly had a nosebleed.
Panicked, Lu Yue'er screamed for a physician, alarming the entire mansion, including Hua Yuman. The physician diagnosed it as excessive internal heat. After Lu Yue'er left, Hua Yuman questioned Hua Yinan's sexual orientation, mentioning rumors of homosexuals in the Capital. Hua Yinan dismissed her speculations. Later, Hua Yinan tried to withdraw 10,000 taels from the bank to reward his soldiers but was refused by Master Wang.
He discovered that his late father's will stipulated that after Hua Yinan and Lu Yue'er's marriage, all private funds would be managed by Lu Yue'er, requiring her signature for any withdrawals. To obtain her signature, Hua Yinan presented Lu Yue'er with premium snacks from Floral House, explaining its elaborate organizational structure, and revealed his intention to hand over all financial management of the Island Lord's Mansion to her. Lu Yue'er was astonished to see a bank note for 50,000 taels and quickly refused the daunting responsibility.
