The Apothecary Diaries episode 16 recap
In The Apothecary Diaries episode 16, Jinshi confides in Maomao about a mysterious inheritance involving an imperial palace blacksmith.
The blacksmith, who possessed a secret metalworking technique, left distinct legacies for his three sons: the eldest received the metal workshop, the middle son obtained a cabinet, and the youngest inherited a fishbowl. The blacksmith's final request was for the brothers to gather for a tea party in the workshop, sparking Maomao's interest in investigating.
Accompanied by Basen, Maomao visits the blacksmith's workshop, where she observes a locked cabinet with a peculiar fishbowl inherited by the youngest son.
Through keen deduction, Maomao utilizes sunlight focused on the fishbowl to melt the lock's jamming material, revealing a key mold and the blacksmith's metalworking secret. Despite initial disagreements among the brothers, they reconcile, realizing the puzzle's purpose was to foster unity.
The episode transitions to a discussion between Lord Lakan and Jinshi. Lakan discloses that the two eldest brothers lacked talent in metalwork and had abandoned the craft.
The family business roles are reassigned: the eldest son handles paperwork, the middle son manages client relations, and the youngest focuses on metalwork. Lakan commends this arrangement, emphasizing each son's specialization.
Jinshi attempts to revisit a previous conversation with Lakan about reducing a courtesan's cost, but Lakan deflects the inquiry. The episode concludes with Jinshi asking Maomao to do his makeup, introducing a potential shift in their relationship dynamics. The narrative seamlessly blends familial intrigue, mystery-solving, and character development, culminating in a well-rounded and engaging storyline.
The Apothecary Diaries episode 17: What to expect?
The Apothecary Diaries episode 17 will deliver a rather slice-of-life-like episode mainly focused around Jinshi and Maomao's stroll throughout the city while also revealing the actual way of reducing the worth of a courtesan that was teased in episode 16.
