Synopsis:
TY felt that CY has changed since coming back this time. After meeting XY and able to rest well at night, she obviously looked and felt better. NN and CY became closer after she protected her during the recent abduction attempt. She brought along the divorced letters and asked CY if she is going ahead with it and to check with XY. She feels that even if a couple is always at loggerheads, true feelings will still surface in times of distress. NN questioned about the lack of security on that day, especially at critical spots. CY also remembered that XY was not himself that day and suspected that she might have been used as a bait though CY refused to think of XY as a selfish guy. NN felt otherwise as it was obviously a plan by XY, CY decided to confront XY about it rather than guessing. XY was worshipping General Xue Yishan, who was seriously injured during the conquest in the West and died of illness thereafter. During one of the battles, both XY’s parents perished in defeat and thus not hailed as heroes. CY comforted XY that he has fulfilled their ambitions, and if not for him the residents of the South would still be in danger from the West. When ask about his brother, XY said he was a palace guard who perished in a fire 6 months ago to protect the royal ancestor tablets in a temple. Since his parents’ death his brother doubled up as his father and he was devastated that he died as he was his closest relative. Seeing XY in this state, CY could not bring her to ask him about the incident. CY then went to visit XY’s aunt who was still not awake. Thinking back she suddenly understood that XY loves her as he jumped of the cliff after her. All these years she had been living an abnormal life and because of XY she was able sleep well and feel normal again. Even though something was amiss that day, she refused to doubt XY unless he admits it himself. NN heard from LJ that XY indeed used CY as a bait and went to confront XY, asking him how he can bear to put CY in danger and that he has changed. After which XY immediately went himself to find CY to explain that he was behind it and cannot revealed yet why he did it. He would be at her disposal once things come to an end. NN at this moment took XY out for a walk. XT’s aunt then woke up, accused XY of ill-treating her niece-in-law and want him to bring CY back at all cost. She was aware that CY stayed by her side all this while. That evening, XY waited at the door for CY to return but ran away upon seeing her come back. CY could smell that he was there though. She knew that she could not sleep with XY anymore so ask TY to collect the bedding from XY’s room. XY decided to send the bedding personally and saw CY trying to hang herself when he opened the door.
