> Weaving a Tale of Love Recap
Xue Xu suddenly broke into the warehouse, ordering Pei Xingjian to be arrested. Pei Xingjian repeatedly argued that he was only there to find his own belongings and hadn't touched the goods in the boxes at all. Xue Xu paid no attention, producing Kudi Liuli's complaint, and intended to punish Pei Xingjian by suspending him from school for self-reflection. Pei Xingjian was furious, grinding his teeth.
He went directly to Kudi Liuli's house to confront her, but after knocking for a long time, no one opened the door. Cao Wu passed by, learned that he was looking for a painter, and took him to the Hu Merchants Conference to find Kudi Liuli. The Hu Merchants Conference was bustling and crowded with people. Merchants from all over gathered there, unwilling to miss the annual opportunity to make a fortune.
The conference attracted dyeing shops from across the country to participate, and representatives from each shop tightly held their sample garments for the competition. Kudi Liuli and Ni weaved through the crowd. She inadvertently saw Pei Xingjian. Before Kudi Liuli could react, Pei Xingjian acupunctured her from behind. Kudi Liuli was unable to move. She hurled insults at Pei Xingjian.
Pei Xingjian was already furious because she had filed a false complaint against him, and now he was even more enraged. He exposed Kudi Liuli face-to-face, saying she was vicious, and that her beloved lover had just died, yet she was out seeking pleasure. Kudi Liuli worried about her identity being exposed and made an excuse to go to the restroom.
Ni vouched for her with Ruyi Dyeing Shop as a guarantee, and only then did Pei Xingjian release her acupoint. Kudi Liuli wanted to go to the restroom, only to realize she was carrying her sample garment for the competition on her back. She asked a child by the roadside to help look after it. Pei Xingjian then rushed over, snatched the package, and begged Kudi Liuli to withdraw the complaint. Kudi Liuli flatly refused.
Just then, a Hu merchant stopped Kudi Liuli, claiming to be the organizer of the Hu Merchants Conference, and asked to take Kudi Liuli's sample garment for registration. Kudi Liuli believed him and handed the sample garment to the Hu merchant. Pei Xingjian instantly saw that the Hu merchant was a swindler. He mocked Kudi Liuli sarcastically, telling her to withdraw the complaint, and then promised to help her retrieve the sample garment.
Kudi Liuli didn't believe him; she wanted to go backstage herself to confirm. The Hu Merchants Conference officially began. Emcee Cao Lushan announced the start of the competition for the garment-making group. Ruyi Dyeing Shop was ranked tenth. Ni waited anxiously for Kudi Liuli, who didn't come, so she begged Cao Lushan to postpone Ruyi Dyeing Shop's turn. Shanhu absolutely refused. Kudi Liuli rushed back, and only then did Ni realize the sample garment had been swindled away.
Kudi Liuli was burning with anxiety, hoping Pei Xingjian would find the sample garment as soon as possible. Cao Dyeing Shop made a grand entrance. Their sample garments were elegant and magnificent, an eye-opener that won the favor of the merchants. The next one was Ruyi Dyeing Shop. Pei Xingjian was late in appearing, so Kudi Liuli had no choice but to apply to withdraw from the competition.
Pei Xingjian searched carefully through the crowd and finally found the Hu merchant who had impersonated the organizer. He snatched the sample garment back from him and delivered it to Kudi Liuli on time. Ni was overjoyed and quickly hung up the sample garment for display. Kudi Liuli thanked Pei Xingjian for his strong support. Pei Xingjian asked her to withdraw the complaint, but Kudi Liuli flatly refused. Ni hung up the Flower cage skirt.
A breeze blew, and the skirt swayed like flowers. Cao and Shanhu scoffed at this, ridiculing Ni's dress as too cheap and not refined enough for such a grand occasion. Kudi Liuli was defiant; she personally changed into the Flower cage skirt and displayed it. She danced gracefully on stage, becoming even more beautiful and exquisite. Immediately, thunderous applause erupted below the stage. People couldn't help but cheer and acclaim. Pei Xingjian was also stunned by Kudi Liuli's beauty.
When the performance ended, the applause from the audience was ceaseless. Kudi Liuli stood on stage and saw Pei Xingjian quietly leaving in the distance. She felt a deep sense of loss. Kudi Liuli returned to the exhibition stand and saw that Pei Xingjian had left a sculpture of a dancing Hu woman. Her heart was filled with joy.
That night, Ni was so excited remembering how the Flower cage skirt had shone brightly at the Hu Merchants Conference that she couldn't sleep. The more Kudi Liuli thought about it, the more she felt that Pei Xingjian was a good person, and she worried that she had wrongly blamed him. Chamberlain Pan sent men to brutally interrogate Shun. He was beaten to a pulp but refused to reveal Xiaodouzi's whereabouts.
Zhuo Jinniang brought Deng Qiniang to the prison and used both soft and hard tactics on Shun, forcing him to disclose Xiaodouzi's whereabouts. Shun only admitted that Xiaodouzi had left the palace but didn't know her exact location. Zhuo Jinniang relentlessly questioned who Xiaodouzi learned garment-making from. Shun confessed that Sun Decheng had picked up Xiaodouzi from outside the palace and he genuinely didn't know where she had learned her craft.
Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan closely monitored the activities at the School of the Four Gates warehouse. They saw Xue Xu escorting a batch of goods to the warehouse late at night. Li Ming arrived shortly after. Pei Xingjian and Pei Yan looked down from the rooftop and saw that the boxes contained armor. According to Tang Dynasty law, privately hoarding armor was a capital offense. Pei Xingjian suspected Li Ming of having rebellious intentions.
