Untouchable Lovers Episode 31 Recap
> Untouchable Lovers Recap
Liu Chuyu's hand had just touched the old woman's foot when she knew she had been deceived. How could an old person's foot be so soft? Liu Chuyu overturned the old woman with a shove. Unexpectedly, the old woman was very agile, performing a somersault and landing steadily. She then casually took off her headscarf, revealing Huo Xuan's bright and heroic face. Huo Xuan invited Liu Chuyu for a drink.
Liu Chuyu's impression of her was very different from what she had imagined. As they drank, they were chatting happily, but then Rong Zhi was suddenly mentioned, and Huo Xuan's tone became a little off. If Wang Ze hadn't repeatedly coughed to signal her, Huo Xuan might have said who knows what. Rong Zhi searched for a long time before he found the restaurant. Hearing that Liu Chuyu was drinking with Huo Xuan, he was very anxious.
When he rushed in, the room was empty. Huo Xuan had already taken Liu Chuyu and left through the window as soon as she received news of Rong Zhi's arrival. Huo Xuan and Liu Chuyu sat on the rooftop, enjoying their wine and conversing happily.
Looking at the children playing joyfully not far away, Huo Xuan told Liu Chuyu that this was why she insisted on going to the battlefield; she hoped the common people could live in peace and contentment. Liu Chuyu admired Huo Xuan's heroic spirit, that of a woman who was no less capable than a man. Liu Chuyu felt that if Huo Xuan were a man, she would definitely fall in love with her.
Huo Xuan burst into laughter upon hearing this. The two of them enjoyed the breeze with the bright moon overhead, and inadvertently drank too much wine. When Qing Yue came out of the restaurant with Wang Ze after having eaten and drunk her fill, she saw Liu Chuyu and Huo Xuan staggering along, supporting each other in their drunken state. Wang Ze took Huo Xuan back. Liu Chuyu, swaying unsteadily, seemed to see Rong Zhi.
Rong Zhi wanted to take her home, but she struggled free, not wanting to go back. She had no home here at all. When she was wronged, she wanted to explain, but she knew that no one would listen. She had traveled thousands of miles to marry into Da Wei, and Rong Zhi was her husband, yet he didn't believe her. Who else could she rely on? She was truly so wronged and so sad.
Rong Zhi had never known that he had made Liu Chuyu suffer so much. He hurried forward and tightly embraced the sobbing Liu Chuyu, feeling heartbroken and self-reproachful. In Kang Wangfu, Le Yun accidentally discovered a portrait of Huo Xuan tucked inside a book by Tuoba Yun. She looked exactly like Huo Xuan, but she couldn't ride horses or shoot arrows.
When she realized that she might just be Huo Xuan's substitute, the words from the maid earlier about her being the Prince Kang's sole favorite seemed like a joke. Le Yun tightly gripped the hairpin in her hand, her fingers bleeding as if she didn't even notice, because it couldn't compare to the pain in her heart.
As soon as Huo Xuan returned, Le Yun noticed that the people in the residence were looking at her strangely, and Qi Heng continued to mock her relentlessly. Meanwhile, Tuoba Yun was at Huo Xuan's residence. Huo Xuan had returned to Pingcheng wounded, and Tuoba Yun, worried about her, specifically brought a doctor to treat her. However, Huo Xuan was very unappreciative. Tuoba Yun genuinely wanted to be kind to her, but she disliked seeing him.
Tuoba Yun didn't get angry; he left the doctor and departed himself. At the same time, Liu Chuyu had been suffering from a terrible headache since she woke up early in the morning, a typical hangover. The thought of getting drunk in front of Huo Xuan last night made her head ache even more; it was truly too impolite. Liu Chuyu thought of the children at Hong Xiu's place. After getting ready, she hurried to the outskirts.
She saw Hong Xiu worrying about the children's livelihood, and after learning that Hong Xiu danced in a tea house opera troupe, she taught her a very popular dance. Rong Zhi went to look for Liu Chuyu. After arriving at the tea house, he didn't see the person he wanted to meet. Instead, he was attacked by a white-robed masked assailant who suddenly appeared. The tea house instantly descended into chaos.
Liu Chuyu entered from outside and her heart immediately rose into her throat when she saw this scene. The white-robed assassin was Tian Rujing, who had suddenly appeared in Da Wei a few days ago. He had come, firstly, to take Liu Chuyu back, and secondly, to kill Rong Zhi. Seeing that the situation today made it impossible to kill Rong Zhi immediately, Tian Rujing took advantage of the chaos and carried Liu Chuyu away.
In the peach grove where cherry blossoms fell in profusion, Liu Chuyu woke up, feeling dazed. She was surprised to see Tian Rujing. She wanted to go back, and Tian Rujing didn't stop her, but he was certain that if she returned unharmed, it would inevitably arouse suspicion from others, Rong Zhi included. Tian Rujing wanted Liu Chuyu to see Rong Zhi's true colors as soon as possible.
Although Liu Chuyu disagreed with Tian Rujing, she couldn't help but feel uneasy. After she returned, the first thing Rong Zhi asked her upon seeing her was how she got back. Liu Chuyu suddenly remembered Tian Rujing's words, and indeed, Rong Zhi didn't believe her. Her heart suddenly turned cold, and she felt very uncomfortable. In fact, Rong Zhi still cared for Liu Chuyu.
After he came out of Danfeng Xuan, he instructed Shen Yu to conceal the true news of Liu Chuyu's return to the residence, publicly announcing that Liu Chuyu had been rescued by Shen Yu and his men. Ma Xueyun heard that Liu Chuyu had actually returned, and felt indignant in her heart. She had news spread, claiming that Liu Chuyu had been defiled by the assassin. Such rumors quickly spread throughout Pingcheng.
Tuoba Yun guessed that Rong Zhi's 'backyard was on fire' (meaning trouble at home) and seized the opportunity to set a trap for Rong Zhi. Just as Tuoba Hong's birthday was approaching, Tuoba Yun secretly killed Tuoba Hong's favorite pearl fish, which were kept in Rong Zhi's fish pond. Huo Xuan heard the rumors about Liu Chuyu and the assassin on the street and rushed to Rong Zhi's residence.
Regarding the originator of the rumors, Rong Zhi guessed it was Tuoba Yun. However, based on Huo Xuan's understanding of Tuoba Yun, this didn't seem like his style. In fact, Huo Xuan knew that Rong Zhi had already figured out who was behind it, but simply chose not to say it. At this moment, Shen Yu suddenly came to report that all the pearl fish in the pond had died.
Pearl fish, also known as longevity fish, were Tuoba Hong's favorite. This clearly indicated that someone wanted to cause trouble for Rong Zhi before Tuoba Hong's birthday feast. Furthermore, many precious fish fry were also raised in the pond and were affected this time. These fish fry were the residence's largest source of income; without them, it would likely be difficult to manage various expenditures in the court next year.
Rong Zhi instructed Shen Yu to thoroughly investigate the pearl fish incident, while he himself went to see Ma Xueyun. He truly couldn't understand Ma Xueyun now; she would actually defame Liu Chuyu's reputation out of jealousy.
