Anning was curious about Leiting and Jasmine's past. Leiting told her, and after learning the truth, she felt uncomfortable and became fixated on it, hanging her head and ignoring Leiting. Leiting was very anxious and asked Liao Qian to talk to Anning. After Liao Qian's words, Anning suddenly understood and regained her smile. Liao Qian had someone make her some tranquilizing soup, and Anning wanted Leiting to feed her. Leiting was overjoyed, relieved that he wasn't being blamed, and fed Anning the tranquilizing soup spoonful by spoonful.
Thunder: "Drink more, honey, be good..."
An Ning: "Hehe..."
Liao Qian: "An Ning's smile has a magical power that can touch people's hearts."
An Ning: "Hehe, thank you, Liao Shen, hehe..."
Liao Qian: "Don't stand on ceremony with me, my good brother and wife. As long as you two are good and don't quarrel or get angry, I can live a few more days."
Lei Ting: "What kind of talk is that? I want to grow old with An Ning. You come with us and live to be a hundred years old together."
Liao Qian: "I'll definitely age faster than you, so that people can tell at a glance that I'm your older brother."
Thunder: "You've always been my brother. Even if others don't care, you're still my brother."
Liao Qian's words echoed in An Ning's mind again and again: the person has passed away, what's the point of dwelling on the past? Punishing yourself for someone else's mistakes is the most worthless thing.
Lei Ting knew that Liao Qian would be able to persuade An Ning, and sure enough, after finishing the soup, An Ning hugged Lei Ting tightly and wouldn't let go, showing off their affection in front of Liao Qian and Allen.
An Ning: "Thunder!"
Thunder: "My baby..."
Allen: "Oh my god, you two are so close!"
Liao Qian: "Once I recover, we'll be closer than they are..."
Allen: "Okay..."
Both pairs of birds were holding hands with their partners and wouldn't let go, and the red-crowned cranes on the rooftop were also following suit, seeking out their partners and showing affection.
Thunder: "Seriously, what do you want for lunch? Let Allen cook for us himself..."
An Ning: "Hehe, I want to eat boiled cabbage..."
Thunder: "Allen, do you know how to cook a dish served at state banquets, called Boiled Cabbage in Clear Broth?"
Allen: "I haven't heard of that, I won't... but Hans probably will. He just made an appointment with me, and knowing you're here, he's coming to apologize."
Thunder: "News's matter has nothing to do with him, so why should he apologize!"
Liao Qian: "Hans is a very thoughtful person. After all, he was the one who brought Newt here. He feels bad about it, so let him come in and cook us a meal!"
Thunder: "Alright, let him in..."
Allen sent M to greet Hans. M walked out the door with a trembling expression, and Thunder glanced at M's back with great vigilance.
Liao Qian: "Thunder, M, what's wrong? Did you spot the problem?"
Lei Ting: "I have a question. Haiyang met Anyang when he was waiting for us to return to the courtyard in the morning. The timing was so good. When we left, you two were still asleep. M said a few words to me at the door before we left."
Liao Qian: "You suspect that M leaked the news of your return home to Haiyang?"
Allen: "M? Could it be her? I don't want it to be her!"
Thunder: "I'm just guessing. Besides News, the only other people who can get close to you and me are M..."
Allen: "She treats me like family, how could she betray me?"
Allen didn't believe M had betrayed him, and he was even less willing to suspect M. Liao Qian noticed Allen's worries and offered him a way out.
Liao Qian: "I've been staying here for a few days now. M is always meticulous and tactful in everything she does. I think you're overthinking it..."
Lei Ting: "Ocean once gave Anning a bunch of tulips. The day before Ocean came, Anning saw a patch of tulips in bud in the castle's flower room."
Allen: "Tulips? I don't like tulips. Why are there tulips in my flower room? When did you find them?"
Lei Ting: "The day Liao Qian was discharged from the hospital! I don't know if she's still around now."
Allen: "M, what exactly did you do behind my back?"
Allen clenched his fingers, and Liao Qian helped him loosen them. Allen had inspected the lights last night and found they were all defective. This meant that M had embezzled Hertz Castle's money and hadn't followed Allen's instructions, almost causing Thunder and Anning to get hurt. Allen still didn't want to believe it was M, and Liao Qian didn't want to believe it was M either. But since the incident had happened, there had to be a solution. Keeping someone like that around might be a disaster.
Anning: "There are many ways to get information about us, Thunder. Maybe we're overthinking it; it might not be M..."
Thunder: "I'm a little unsure too. Okay, as long as it doesn't hurt us, there's nothing wrong with buying and selling information."
As Lei Ting was speaking, Hans shuffled in, carrying a box anxiously, his face radiating worry and apology. Upon entering, he heard Lei Ting say that the news about the sale was nothing, and Hans, who hadn't been holding his head high, lowered it even further.
Anning: "Mr. Hans... what's wrong..."
Anning cast a worried glance at Hans, and tears welled up in his eyes. His body trembled slightly, and he almost lost his grip on the box. Thunder and Allen quickly supported him. Only when Hans felt that so many people cared about him did he raise his guilty face.
Hans: "Sorry... Anning, I'm sorry, it was my oversight... I apologize for the harm I caused you."
Anning: "It's not your fault, Mr. Hans. Get up quickly. Leiting, help Mr. Hans sit down here."
Thunder and Allen helped Hans up, and Hans presented the box, which Anning accepted, signifying that she had forgiven Hans.
Anning: "This is not your fault, Hans. You don't need to apologize for it. It's News' fault."
Hans: "In the end, I brought him to your side. Don't worry, you won't see him again."
