Lady Revenger Returns From the Fire Episode 12 Recap
> Lady Revenger Returns From the Fire Recap
Ganlutang launched a new product, "Rose Intoxication". After discovering this, Shen Danqing asked Escort Lin to buy a jar of Ganlutang's new product to taste, and found that the flavor of this wine was the same as Danqing Wine Shop's Rose Dew. Connecting it to the farce a few days ago, Shen Danqing guessed that Luo Xueer's real intention was the brewing recipe of Danqing Wine Shop.
Due to Ganlutang's new product, Danqing Wine Shop hadn't made a single sale for several days. Shen Danqing was unwilling to sell the wine at a reduced price, as the more she sold, the more she would lose. Shen Danqing had no choice but to send a message to Shen Zishan, asking him to help contact some large customers. Xu Chengfeng regarded Shen Danqing as a confidante.
As a festival approached, he specifically came to Danqing Wine Shop and ordered two hundred jin of Rose Dew to reward the guards of the General's Mansion. Xu Chengfeng was willing to buy wine from Danqing Wine Shop at a high price because he trusted Shen Danqing's character and ability more. To thank Xu Chengfeng for his patronage, Shen Danqing specifically gave him another kind of wine, brewed separately, to taste.
Ganlutang became profitable again because of the new product "Rose Intoxication". In fact, the profits of just a few days caught up with the total profit of January last year. Luo Xueer was very pleased, and seeing that Danqing Wine Shop's business was bleak, she became even more smug. Luo Xueer went to Danqing Wine Shop to show off, and even asked Shen Danqing to sell her own wine yeast and ingredients, since Ganlutang was now in short supply.
To humiliate Shen Danqing, Luo Xueer even suggested that Ganlutang buy Danqing Wine Shop and have Shen Danqing work at Ganlutang as a wine seller. Shen Danqing could no longer bear it and slapped Luo Xueer. The two exchanged sharp words, neither giving way. Luo Xueer declared that Shen Danqing should wait to be ruined. Luo Xueer resented Shen Danqing even more because she was slapped.
She instructed someone to notify President Xia to prohibit all wine merchants from purchasing wine yeast and ingredients from Danqing Wine Shop. She wanted to make Shen Danqing suffer a total loss. Luo Shuangshuang was unwilling to stay in the manor to recover from her illness. She wanted to return to the Luo family, but was stopped by the servants sent by Luo Xueer, who even locked her directly in the room.
Shen Zishan returned from an escort mission and also brought a large order from Squire Meng from a neighboring county for Danqing Wine Shop. Upon learning of this, Luo Xueer quickly sent people to buy back all the nearby wine yeast and ingredients. She didn't want to give Shen Danqing any chance to recover.
For this, she also arranged for her subordinate to personally take "Rose Intoxication" to see Squire Meng, telling him that Shen Danqing was unable to deliver the goods and that the Luo family was the leading winery in all of Liaocheng. Not only was Luo Xueer willing to sell the wine at a low price, but she was also willing to compensate Squire Meng for the deposit he paid to Danqing Wine Shop.
Soon, Squire Meng's order was snatched away by Luo Xueer. Although Shen Danqing was disappointed, she didn't show any abnormality. The plum rain season arrived, and Xu Chengfeng specifically sent Shen Danqing, who didn't have an umbrella, back to her residence. Although their initial impressions of each other were not good when they first met, they appreciated each other more and more through their daily interactions.
Shen Zishan saw Xu Chengfeng personally escorting his sister home, and seeing how intimate they were, he felt a little jealous. Shen Zishan inquired about his sister's impression of Xu Chengfeng. Only upon hearing Shen Danqing evaluate Xu Chengfeng as a trustworthy close friend did Shen Zishan feel relieved. Xu Chengfeng learned from Tian Hao that Lv Zhu was reporting only irrelevant daily trivial matters to Prince Yi.
He didn't care about these messages and instructed Tian Hao to get along well with Lv Zhu. And Lv Zhu also, at Xu Chengfeng's instruction, specifically came to take care of Tian Hao, who had caught a cold. Although Tian Hao was wary of Lv Zhu's identity as a spy, he also quite enjoyed the feeling of being cared for.
To not give Shen Danqing any chance to catch her breath, Luo Xueer took all the money in the accounts to purchase wine yeast and ingredients. But what she didn't expect was that many customers came for refunds. It turned out that Shen Danqing had seen through Luo Xueer's intentions earlier and deliberately let her steal the Rose Dew recipe. However, Shen Danqing deliberately omitted some steps in the recipe.
The most crucial part of Rose Dew was the storage time. The current plum rain season greatly shortened the wine's storage time, which is why the wine Luo Xueer sold spoiled and customers came knocking. Meanwhile, Luo Xueer also realized that she had been fooled by Shen Danqing. To stabilize the situation, she promised to refund customers for the spoiled wine money three days later.
When Shen Danqing learned that Luo Xueer had promised to refund the customers the wine money, she didn't understand where Luo Xueer would get the money. She instructed Shui Xian to keep a close eye on Luo Xueer's every move. The Omniscient arranged to meet with Shen Zishan and Xu Chengfeng. She wanted to tell them some clues she had found through her investigation.
Shen Zishan and Xu Chengfeng hurried to the inn, only to find that the Omniscient had been assassinated in the room by a poisonous dart. Shen Zishan found that the silver needles that struck the Omniscient were exactly the same as the silver needles that poisoned Shen Danqing back then. He speculated that the person who killed the Omniscient was the same murderer from the Imperial Escort case.
