Youthful Glory Episode 27 Recap
> Youthful Glory Recap
Su Wenchun and Su Er Rong were father and daughter in name only, with no legal ties remaining between them. Over the years, Su Wenchun had also never personally intervened or given others leverage against him. When Su Wenchun learned that the Su family had been seized by the Imperial Guards and that Su Er Rong had already been escorted to the capital, he flew into a rage. However, he still had another matter to attend to.
Gao Chen suddenly brought people to Wen Tao Pavilion to cause trouble. Not only did he hurl insults at Bai Minmin, but the flunkies with him even laid hands on her. Just then, Zhang Huaiyu suddenly appeared and kicked the group out, leaving only Gao Chen behind. The servants, seeing this, hurriedly carried Gao Chen away in a sedan chair. With tears in her eyes, Bai Minmin stared at Zhang Huaiyu, then stormed out of Wen Tao Pavilion in anger. Zhang Huaiyu immediately chased after her. Bai Minmin, filled with resentment and grievance, handed him the key. From the time news of his death had reached her until their return to the capital, Zhang Huaiyu hadn’t sent a single letter. She had guarded Wen Tao Pavilion for him all this time, living in constant fear—was that still not enough?
Zhang Huaiyu quickly explained that he had written many letters, but his subordinates had refused to send them out for fear of revealing his whereabouts. He had also been injured and had to go into hiding to recover. Without another word, Zhang Huaiyu pulled Bai Minmin into his arms and declared he would stay with her for life. Tomorrow, he would wear the imperial-bestowed purple-gold robe to formally propose marriage at the Duke of Chang's residence. Bai Minmin scolded him for being shameless, but in her heart, she was willing.
Ming Tan had racked her brains to plan a surprise, but Jiang Xu had already learned about it from the secret guards and even asked someone to prepare a fine zither. Ming Tan played for him a piece she had composed two years earlier, and Jiang Xu could only think how beautiful his wife was. Shu Jingran and Yun Yi, seeing that the time was right, lit the fireworks Ming Tan had specially prepared. The fireworks here were particularly dazzling. Shu Jingran asked Yun Yi if she ever envisioned the future. Yun Yi hadn’t, because this very moment was already the best of times.
It was the first Mid-Autumn Festival Ming Tan spent with Jiang Xu. Knowing he might miss his parents, she hoped he could find happiness. Jiang Xu was deeply moved. Over the years, others had treated him well, but only Ming Tan truly wished for his happiness.
After a night of passion, Jiang Xu left early to handle affairs. Ming Tan reluctantly let him go, reminding him to return soon. A corrupt official had confessed that the mastermind of the case was Liu Mo, Assistant Minister of Revenue. Liu Mo also confessed and was imprisoned awaiting trial. The Emperor learned of Liu Mo’s background—he was the son of a scout once involved in the death of Prince Minzong. Late at night, the Emperor visited the prison to persuade Liu Mo not to take the blame for someone else. He explained that there was more to his father’s case. Although delaying a military order was a capital offense, his father had claimed he mysteriously lost consciousness for half a day at the courier station. The case had gone cold, but someone else must have been behind the delay.
Liu Mo became emotionally agitated and finally realized that Su Wenchun was the true instigator behind everything.
While in prison, Liu Mo sent word that he wanted to see Su Wenchun. Su Wenchun sent someone in his stead, saying it was time they formally said goodbye after so many years. Liu Mo hadn’t expected that the visitor would be Big Brother Si—the very man who had once provided him with food and money so he could study and train in martial arts. Back then it was an order, and now it was another order to see him off. Liu Mo remained grateful, but he had guessed that this man had also silenced his father.
