Jun Jiu Ling Episode 7 Recap
> Jun Jiu Ling Recap
Picking up from the final round of the pitch-pot game, Miss Jun stunned everyone at Jinyun Restaurant, especially Zhu Zan, by flawlessly landing all her arrows with a technique called "The Heavenly Maids Scattering Blossoms." Zhu Zan was particularly shocked, as this move was created by and should be known only to Princess Jiuling. Ning Yunzhao graciously admitted defeat, his admiration for Miss Jun growing even deeper.
After her victory, Miss Jun returned to her private room, where a suspicious servant offered her drugged tea. As she began to question him, Zhu Zan arrived. The servant tried to flee but was promptly knocked unconscious by Zhu Zan. Meanwhile, Ning Yunyan, who had orchestrated the trap, grew impatient downstairs. She had convinced Lin Jin'er to check on the room, but moments after Lin Jin'er entered, a scream was heard.
She then emerged, disheveled, with a burly man, who had been drugged instead of Miss Jun. Just then, Miss Jun and Liu'er appeared from a back entrance. Seeing this, Chen Qi loudly accused Ning Yunyan of having her own evil plan backfire, and the crowd turned on her, condemning her viciousness. Amidst the chaos, as Zhu Zan was intently observing Miss Jun, an assassin sent by Song Yunping lunged at her. Zhu Zan swiftly shielded her, sustaining a minor injury.
Before the situation could be resolved, the Arm Moral Department, led by Jiang Baihu, stormed the restaurant. Zhu Zan and Zhang Baotang were forced to hide. In the aftermath, Ning Yunzhao apologized to Miss Jun for his sister's actions. He then confronted Ning Yunyan, who remained unrepentant, blaming Miss Jun for setting her up. Ning Yunzhao rebuked her for her stubbornness and for ruining Miss Lin's life.
As this unfolded, Zhu Zan tried again to ask Miss Jun about the "Heavenly Maids" technique, but their conversation was cut short by the encroaching soldiers. Jiang Baihu, acting on secret orders from the Emperor, commanded everyone to gather downstairs and leave in an orderly fashion. Realizing the soldiers were there for Zhu Zan, Miss Jun signaled Liu'er to spill a box of silver, creating a chaotic scramble.
Zhang Baotang urged Zhu Zan to escape, but Zhu Zan refused, unwilling to implicate Miss Jun. As Jiang Baihu grew suspicious of Miss Jun's composure, Chen Qi, who knew the restaurant's secret passages, hid Zhu Zan and Zhang Baotang in a hidden compartment, revealing that his family were the original owners. Later that evening, Ning Yunzhao visited the Fang Mansion.
He confessed to Miss Jun that he believed she had orchestrated their encounters at the lantern festival and the pitch-pot game out of affection for him. Miss Jun gently corrected him, clarifying that their meetings were coincidences and that she had long since moved on from their broken engagement. To signify their parting, she offered him a pear instead of tea. Zhu Zan, who had overheard the entire conversation, emerged after Ning Yunzhao left.
He informed her that he had sent Zhang Baotang to investigate the assassins, suspecting they were the same people framing the Fang family. He once more pressed her about her knowledge of Princess Jiuling's techniques. Miss Jun deflected, claiming only that she learned many things from spending her days with the princess. Unable to get a confession, Zhu Zan instructed her to meet him at the accounting office the next day.
There, they examined the Deshengchang account books and discovered that records from the third year of the Taiyan era—a period of high income—were suspiciously missing. Zhu Zan then showed her the pattern from a seal, asking if she had seen it. Though inwardly startled, she feigned ignorance. Zhu Zan explained its connection to his investigation and asked her to notify him if she ever saw it.
Following the rejection, Ning Yunzhao told his mother he wanted to arrange Ning Yunyan's marriage before he left for the capital in three days, as a lesson for her to mature. Miss Jun understood this was his way of delivering justice on her behalf. Meanwhile, Ms. Cao arranged for a doctor to examine Fang Chengyu, reinforcing the public impression that he was gravely ill before the wedding.
During a meal, when asked about her wedding attire, Miss Jun's casual confirmation that it fit drew a scornful remark from Jinxiu. Miss Jun then asked for the doctor to prescribe a strength-supplementing tonic for Fang Chengyu to ensure he could get through the ceremony, a request Jinxiu maliciously misinterpreted as being for their wedding night. As she prepared for the wedding, Miss Jun reflected on her three engagements, none of which were truly her own, and wondered if she would ever have one that was.
