Weaving a Tale of Love Episode 43 Recap
> Weaving a Tale of Love Recap
Outside, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with wind and rain lashing down. Kudi Liuli's heart was filled with mixed emotions. Deng Qiniang saw the lights on at Kudi Liuli's residence at the foot of the mountain and guessed that Pei Xingjian was staying there tonight. Pei Xingjian looked up at the flickering lights of the dressing tower on the mountain. He and Kudi Liuli gazed at each other from afar in this way.
Due to the continuous strong winds and heavy rains for several days, the floodwaters from the mountain rushed down directly to the foot of the mountain. Kudi Liuli quickly called everyone to beat iron basins to warn the people down the mountain. She was intent on going down the mountain to save Pei Xingjian. Deng Qiniang desperately tried to stop her. Kudi Liuli descended the mountain through the heavy rain. Suddenly, her foot slipped, and she almost fell.
Fortunately, Pei Xingjian arrived in time to catch her. The two excitedly embraced tightly. Seeing this scene, Deng Qiniang advised Pei Xingjian to take Kudi Liuli and leave for a distant land. Zhaoyi and Li Zhi woke up in a daze and found that the mountain flood had already entered the bedchamber. Li Zhi learned that Pei Xingjian was not in his room and concluded that he had eloped with Kudi Liuli. Unexpectedly, Pei Xingjian rushed to the rescue.
Kudi Liuli lit charcoal on the mountain to guide them. Li Zhi was deeply moved and quickly moved Zhaoyi and his entourage up the mountain. The flood was surging fiercely. Pei Xingjian held Li Zhi's hand tightly, personally Escorting him up the mountain. After Li Zhi safely escaped danger, he pondered repeatedly and decided to let go of Kudi Liuli. Li Zhi specifically called Kudi Liuli to reward her for her merits.
Kudi Liuli had no worries about food or clothing and needed no rewards. Li Zhi had long guessed she would say this, and he felt particularly lost. He couldn't help but recall the scene of the three of them enjoying drinks and conversation in the Eastern Palace, but now, things had changed, and people were no longer the same.
Li Zhi clearly felt that both Pei Xingjian and Kudi Liuli treated him with more formality as subjects to a ruler and less as friends. Li Zhi hesitated and decided to withdraw the rewards for Kudi Liuli. Kudi Liuli firmly refused to comply. Li Zhi had no choice but to agree to let her leave the palace to see the person she loved most. Kudi Liuli was overjoyed and quickly knelt to express her gratitude.
Li Zhi regretted that he could not protect Kudi Liuli in the future. He bestowed upon her many gold and silver ornaments and gave her countless admonitions and instructions, hoping for her safety and happiness. Zhaoyi, hearing this from outside the door, revealed a knowing smile and then quietly slipped away. Finally, Li Zhi returned the jade pendant to Kudi Liuli. Kudi Liuli came to bid farewell to Zhaoyi. Zhaoyi wished her and Pei Xingjian happiness.
The palace maids and eunuchs all thanked Kudi Liuli for saving their lives. Li Zhi stood on the terrace of the grand hall, watching Kudi Liuli's retreating figure. His heart was filled with mixed emotions. He regretted that the three of them could never return to the past. Li Zhi sincerely wished Kudi Liuli and Pei Xingjian a happy life. Kudi Liuli walked out of the imperial palace and saw Pei Xingjian waiting for her in the distance.
The two couldn't help but embrace affectionately. Pei Xingjian swore to marry her, never to be separated for an entire lifetime. Kudi Liuli gladly agreed. Pei Xingjian claimed to be the notorious rare jinx of Chang'an city and worried that their path of love would not be so smooth. Kudi Liuli only wanted to be with him and was not afraid of any hardship. Pei Xingjian took Kudi Liuli to meet Su Dingfang and his wife.
Su Dingfang was also happy for them and promised to help them arrange the wedding. Madam Yu asked Kudi Liuli to stay at her house first to avoid unnecessary trouble. Kudi Liuli wanted to stay at her uncle Silang's house. Su Dingfang had no choice but to tell the truth of the matter: Pei Xingjian's deceased wife, Lu Qiniang, was brutally forced to death by the Pei clan and Hedong Mansion. Kudi Liuli was immediately stunned.
It turned out that Pei Xingjian's grandfather and great-grandfather were bosom friends. The great-grandfather bestowed noble titles and land upon the Pei family. Linhai Princess married into the Pei family of Hedong Mansion. She wanted to exclusively control Pei Xingjian's ancestral property. After Pei Xingjian married Lu Qiniang, Linhai Princess outwardly recognized Lu Qiniang as her adopted daughter and let her manage the Pei family's accounts, but she secretly manipulated things behind the scenes, then accused Lu Qiniang of mismanagement.
Lu Qiniang died of depression. Linhai Princess then spread rumors everywhere that Pei Xingjian was a rare jinx, causing him to be unable to remarry for many years. Linhai Princess learned that Pei Xingjian had taken a girl to Su Dingfang's house and guessed he went to Su Dingfang for support. Linhai Princess decided to target Kudi Liuli. She absolutely could not let Pei Xingjian marry successfully. Kudi Liuli learned the truth of the matter, and she was not afraid. Madam Yu immediately decided to recognize Kudi Liuli as her goddaughter and marry her off gloriously. Kudi Liuli was deeply grateful to her.
