Feud Episode 13 Recap
> Feud Recap
After Li Qingyue brought Meng Chi back to life, the servants in the residence had seen that Meng Chi’s leg was already broken and he was on the verge of death. Only after Li Qingyue was left alone in the room did Meng Chi revive, so the servants began to gossip, suspecting that Li Qingyue either practiced witchcraft or wasn’t human at all, but a demon.
Because she altered someone’s fate at will, Li Qingyue suffered severe backlash and was seriously injured. Bai Jiusi fed Li Qingyue medicine while scolding her for meddling in mortal affairs so recklessly. He also used a formation to conceal Li Qingyue’s divine power, preventing the Heavenly Emissary from detecting her. The two remained deeply in love. Meanwhile, Meng Chi, who had been brought back to life, diligently worked every day. Their sweet life continued day by day.
As time passed, Meng Chi gradually grew up, still working hard and faithfully serving Bai Jiusi and Li Qingyue. In the blink of an eye, twenty years had passed. Bai Jiusi believed it was time for Meng Chi to leave, as he would eventually discover their secret of immortality. Li Qingyue had genuine feelings for Meng Chi. After all, they had lived together for twenty years, and she felt reluctant to part with him.
However, in order to successfully pass the tribulation without being discovered, she resolutely decided to send Meng Chi away and gave him a large sum of money. Meng Chi was also unwilling to leave Li Qingyue. He knelt and begged her to let him stay, but Li Qingyue had already made up her mind. Meng Chi remained on his knees, and Li Qingyue began to waver.
Yet Bai Jiusi understood that if Meng Chi stayed, he would uncover their secret and cause their tribulation to fail. He repeatedly urged Li Qingyue not to give in. In the end, Li Qingyue couldn’t bear it out of concern for Meng Chi’s health. Seeing Meng Chi kneeling without rising, she decided to leave with Bai Jiusi and entrusted the residence to Meng Chi, promoting him to steward.
Grateful beyond words, Meng Chi devotedly guarded the residence for Li Qingyue and never left until the end of his days. When a new group of servants entered the residence, Meng Chi, though aged and frail, still earnestly taught them how to do their tasks. Even when his own son held an official post, Meng Chi was willing to remain by Li Qingyue’s side as a steward. Later, Meng Chi’s grandson, who had become an official, was sentenced to death.
That night, Meng Chi silently came to the courtyard of Bai Jiusi and Li Qingyue to beg for her help. He already knew that Li Qingyue was not an ordinary mortal and believed that if she intervened, she would surely succeed. However, since Li Qingyue had already broken the heavenly rules once to save Meng Chi and interfered with mortal fate, she could no longer help again.
Meng Chi understood this and said no more, while Li Qingyue quietly returned to her room. The next morning, a heavy rain poured down. Bai Jiusi learned from the servants that Meng Chi had passed away. Li Qingyue was arranging flowers in her room when she heard a new steward had arrived. Only then did she realize Meng Chi had left. She couldn’t help but feel a pang of sorrow.
While reminiscing about Meng Chi, she came across a letter from his grandson. At the execution ground, Meng Zhangqin was shackled, and the supervising official was reading out the imperial decree for his execution. Meng Zhangqin remained unfazed, and the crowd watching cried out for justice, clearly recognizing him as a good official. Just as the execution was about to proceed, everyone suddenly froze as if time itself had stopped. Meng Zhangqin was bewildered, not knowing what had happened.
Li Qingyue suddenly appeared—she ultimately couldn’t hold back and saved Meng Chi’s grandson, Meng Zhangqin. After rescuing Meng Zhangqin, Li Qingyue was once again seriously injured for altering fate without permission. When Meng Zhangqin saw her collapse, he quickly carried her away. That night, by the river, Li Qingyue meditated to heal while Meng Zhangqin roasted rabbit meat.
Because he was an upright official unwilling to collude with corrupt ones, he was framed and no longer wished to return to court. Instead, he wanted to follow Li Qingyue and learn cultivation. When a great drought struck, many refugees fled to the north. Upon seeing the wealthy bullying the refugees, Meng Zhangqin couldn’t help but step in.
