Hilarious Family 2 Episode 2 Recap
> Hilarious Family 2 Recap
On the day of Landlord Song's wedding, the bride's mother wept bitterly, revealing that Landlord Song was a severe alcoholic who frequently beat his concubines when drunk, leading to the deaths of several. That evening, as Landlord Song prepared to enter the bridal chamber, he lifted the veil only to find Ai Sixi. Ai Sixi, having heard of the landlord's cruelty, had intervened to help the unfortunate bride, Yue, introducing herself as the renowned 'Jin Buhuan'.
Landlord Song then unexpectedly died from poison in his tea, leaving Ai Sixi entangled in a murder accusation. Separately, Jing Kan was initially unwilling to marry Ai Sixi, but under her persistent flattery, he reluctantly agreed. He made it clear, however, that their marriage would be a mere formality. Ai Sixi was delighted, knowing her task to get married would now be completed.
The next day, after her release from prison, Ai Sixi was accompanied by two constables, who ominously brought two coffins. Her mission was to get married by noon, but she couldn't find Jing Kan. Suspecting she was playing tricks, the constables prepared to arrest her. Ai Sixi seized an opportunity and fled, eventually finding Jing Kan being kidnapped by two women. She immediately intervened to help him escape, only to discover that one of the women was Jing Kan's mother.
It turned out Jing Kan was a young master from a wealthy family, and his grandfather had just passed away, prompting his mother to force him home for the funeral. Jing Kan clarified that his real surname was Jing. Meanwhile, Luo Zhusi, the second mistress of the Jing family, and her maid Cuiying, were complaining. Luo Zhusi had learned that the deceased patriarch had not left a will, sparking her ambition to seize the family fortune.
After paying respects at the funeral, Jing Kan, accompanied by Ai Sixi, visited his grandmother, Wei Junyi. Wei Junyi was surprised to hear that her grandson had married and suggested he move into his parents' former courtyard. However, Jing Kan refused, still holding Luo Zhusi responsible for his own mother's death and therefore reluctant to stay at home. The two constables, who had been searching for Ai Sixi, encountered her and Jing Kan.
Seeing that Ai Sixi was married and had completed her task (her deadline being noon), they instructed her to sign and affix her fingerprint to a public notice, announcing her marriage to the world. They also discussed that Magistrate Meng had ordered them to solve Landlord Song's murder within three months and was serious about catching "Jin Buhuan."
Realizing she was the target, Ai Sixi, now wanted for Landlord Song's murder, decided to follow Jing Kan to the Jing family mansion to escape the immediate fallout. As Luo Zhusi and Cuiying were secretly plotting, Ai Sixi unexpectedly passed by their window, startling Luo Zhusi. Ai Sixi was then taken to Jing Kan's room. Her joy was short-lived, however, as Luo Zhusi and Cuiying soon arrived to interrogate her about her relationship with Jing Kan and his whereabouts.
The following day, Wei Junyi and Luo Zhusi summoned Ai Sixi to the main hall to question her about her past with Jing Kan. Ai Sixi inventively fabricated a tragic background for Jing Kan, and inadvertently confirmed that her "inn" was indeed a gambling house, which Luo Zhusi already suspected from a public notice. Luo Zhusi refused to acknowledge Ai Sixi as her daughter-in-law.
However, Wei Junyi was shocked to learn that Ai Sixi had previously physically confronted Luo Zhusi, and surprisingly, she took Ai Sixi’s side to some extent. Feeling thirsty, Ai Sixi wandered off in search of water. While asking a servant for directions, she encountered Xue Muyun, the first mistress of the family, who greeted her warmly. Xue Muyun subtly probed for information about Jing Kan, but Ai Sixi, being genuinely unfamiliar with him, could not provide many details.
Meanwhile, Luo Zhusi continued to vent her frustrations. Wei Junyi sent her personal maid, Lv Jiao E, with a soothing Bird's Nest White Jade Ointment, intending to calm Luo Zhusi down. Seizing the opportunity, Luo Zhusi and Cuiying tried to manipulate Lv Jiao E, attempting to sour her relationship with Ai Sixi.
They reminded Lv Jiao E that Luo Zhusi had once hoped to arrange a marriage between her and Jing Kan, contrasting that with Ai Sixi's current position and trying to convince Lv Jiao E to persuade Wei Junyi to expel Ai Sixi. Ai Sixi, overhearing this, clarified that while she might "seem" like a maid, she was not one.
Lv Jiao E later recounted to Luo Zhusi that Jing Kan had mentioned his marriage to Ai Sixi was "not real" and merely "helping her," further fueling Luo Zhusi's suspicions about Ai Sixi's true intentions within the family.
