> Legend of the Female General Recap
Yingxiang reported to Chu Zhao that when she secretly snuck into Sun Ling's room, she found that Xiao Jue had also entered the secret chamber. Chu Zhao speculated that Xiao Jue was likely after the tax ledgers of the Yezhou Garrison, after all, Xiao Jue had no means of knowing about the financial dealings between Xu Jingfu and Sun Xiangfu.
Ding Yi repeatedly tested He Yan to see if she was truly blind, and then replaced the perfumed sachet on He Yan's clothes. He Yan knew that the perfumed sachet must be poisoned, and Ding Yi wanted to harm not only her, but also Xiao Jue. He Yan quickly ran out and bumped into Xiao Jue, guessing that Ding Yi was still monitoring nearby, she had to quietly remind Xiao Jue that the perfumed sachet on her was poisoned.
He Yan played along with the plan, pulling Xiao Jue into the water. Xiao Jue held her up by the waist. The poisoned perfumed sachet plan failed again. Sun Xiangfu was furious and gnashed his teeth in hatred at the slippery He Yan. Ding Yi became suspicious, everything was too coincidental, he suspected that He Yan was faking blindness. After falling into the water, He Yan took a bath. She still had to pretend to be blind.
Xiao Jue helped her with her belt and draped an outer garment over her. That night, He Yan put on night clothes and eavesdropped on Ding Yi and Sun Xiangfu's conversation on the rooftop, discovering that Ding Yi wanted to attack her. After being discovered, He Yan fled and unexpectedly met Xiao Jue, who was also wearing night clothes.
As soon as they exchanged blows, they recognized each other and quickly separated to avoid being tracked by the Sun Mansion's servants. Xiao Jue returned to his room and sat in the bathtub to bathe. He Yan then also burst in and was exposed by Xiao Jue for faking blindness. Before she could explain, Ding Yi came chasing.
In a moment of desperation, He Yan held her breath and hid in the bathtub, sharing the same tub with a bare-chested Xiao Jue. Ding Yi checked and found He Yan was not in her room. Xiao Jue found an excuse to send Ding Yi away. Xiao Jue did not dwell much on He Yan faking blindness. He Yan reminded him not to be ungrateful just because she had recovered.
After realizing that Ding Yi wanted to kill Xiao Jue, He Yan decided to take action against Ding Yi, both for revenge and to protect Xiao Jue. She did not know that Xiao Jue was also eavesdropping on the rooftop at the time, learning that Ding Yi was sent by He Rufei to kill him, wondering why He Rufei wanted to kill him, and what role He Yan played in all of this.
At the same time, Yingxiang told Chu Zhao what had just happened at the Sun Mansion. He Yan actively sought out Ding Yi for revenge. She lifted her veil, no longer worried that Ding Yi would know she was impersonating Cheng Lisu. The two fought. He Yan's skill was far superior to Ding Yi's.
She led Ding Yi to a gloomy Buddhist hall, a place where the Sun family father and son suppressed restless spirits, and also Ding Yi's burial ground. After an intense struggle, He Yan stabbed Ding Yi blind. Ding Yi suffered in torment and was finally slit in the throat by He Yan. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jue was also there and heard He Yan say she wanted to take Ding Yi's life, which made him suspect her identity.
He Yan feigned ignorance, but Xiao Jue directly called her Miss He. Liu Buwang had previously created a fake household registration for He Yan, and also provided double protection in case her fake registration was discovered. He Yan used this to temporarily alleviate Xiao Jue's suspicion. In her fight with Ding Yi, He Yan also sustained injuries. The wound was on her back, and she asked Xiao Jue to help her apply medicine.
Regarding her insistence on joining the Jiuqi Camp, He Yan's reasons were flawless. Xiao Jue did not believe her and threatened He Yan, saying that if she did not tell the truth, she would have to leave the Yezhou Garrison. Feinu was responsible for disposing of and burying Ding Yi's body, but unexpectedly discovered multiple female bodies in the Buddhist hall.
The Sun family father and son abducted women from Yezhou City, tortured them to death, and then buried their bodies here. This was also why there had been multiple cases of missing women in Yezhou City, with their whereabouts unknown.
