Destiny of Love Episode 10 Recap
> Destiny of Love Recap
In the kitchen, Jiufeng was roasting sweet potatoes for Chuntao. After being busy for so many days, the two finally had some leisure time. Jiufeng offered the roasted sweet potatoes to Chuntao first to try. Their masters' relationship was growing deeper, and even the servants were benefiting from it. Qiao Manman was still anxious about what to do if she couldn’t cure Fu Chengjin’s leg.
Chuntao suggested having A Li Ya check his pulse and diagnose him, since A Li Ya was a renowned physician from their homeland. Qiao Manman felt the maid had a point. Her own limited medical knowledge was hardly enough to succeed, so she first went to Wanshifang to sound out her uncle. After gaining his approval, Qiao Manman planned to convince Fu Chengjin to listen to her. Fu Chengjin saw how Qiao Manman worried about his leg day after day.
When he heard that she was trying to invite a famed physician for him, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse. At Wanshifang, Qiao Manman’s uncle, Ji Mo, and A Li Ya were all busy cleaning the room in preparation for the distinguished guest’s arrival. As the appointed time approached, her uncle and Ji Mo grew increasingly nervous, their legs trembling uncontrollably. By dusk, as night fell, Qiao Manman brought Fu Chengjin to Wanshifang for treatment.
When her uncle opened the door, he deliberately addressed Qiao Manman as “Princess,” clearly a prearranged act. A Li Ya carefully diagnosed Fu Chengjin and found his meridians were clear and unobstructed, yet he still couldn’t walk. She suggested Qiao Manman prepare more lotus plumules, as the sprouts from lotus seeds could serve as an excellent medicinal primer.
A Li Ya only intended for the lotus seeds to help calm the mind and ease desire, but to Qiao Manman, it was like grasping at a life-saving straw. She began scouring the area every day for fresh autumn lotus seeds, rising early and returning late, never once slacking. Fu Yunnuo asked his men about Qiao Manman’s recent activities. When he heard she had been busy picking lotus pods, he ordered his men to assist in the search.
Once he received word, he invited Qiao Manman to a lotus pond he had recently discovered. The lotus leaves were lush and green, glistening with water droplets, and the scenery was picturesque. Qiao Manman marveled at nature’s beauty while anxiously picking the fresh lotus pods. Fu Yunnuo, intoxicated by the sight of the beauty beside him and the refreshing fragrance of lotus flowers all around, felt completely content—wishing time would freeze in that moment.
As they finished picking the lotus pods, it began to rain. Fu Yunnuo quickly used his own robe to shield Qiao Manman from the wind and rain, worried she would get wet. The imperial consort heard that Fu Yunnuo had personally shielded Qiao Manman from the rain with his own clothing and was somewhat displeased. She felt that Qiao Manman was overstepping, becoming too close with her brother-in-law.
However, remembering that the Emperor would soon inspect Qiao Manman’s treatment results, she decided to endure it for now. Ji Mo’s private school was holding an event. Summoning great courage, he invited A Li Ya to accompany him. Although A Li Ya agreed with a seemingly annoyed expression, she was secretly overjoyed. She had always seen Ji Mo as a bookworm, but now he finally seemed to be showing some initiative.
