Recap of The Apothecary Diaries episode 8
The Apothecary Diaries episode 8, titled Wheat Stalks, saw a Maomao being taken to a brothel by a servant girl where a courtesan and her customer had been poisoned. Deducing that tobacco was used as a poison, she managed to save them both. Soon after, her father arrived to help her. During this, Maomao spotted the servant girl trying to kill the customer. Fortunately, she was able to stop the girl.
It was later revealed that the customer was the son of a rich person. He used his reputation to get close to the courtesans in the brothel. He would promise to buy them out, only to later abandon them.
The servant girl's sister was also a victim of the customer's schemes. In addition, the courtesan who got poisoned was also close to the girl. With that, Maomao deduced that it was an attempt at murder. This also solved why Maomao and her father were paid generously for their services.
After a few days, Maomao returned to the palace where she happened to shock a jealous Jinshi by saying something out of context about Lihaku.
What to expect from The Apothecary Diaries episode 9?
The Apothecary Diaries episode 9, titled Suicide or Murder?, will likely see Maomao run into a possible murder case at the palace. However, during the investigation, she is possibly set to run into huge trouble as she could be seen seemingly drowning in the preview video.
As for the case itself, it seems very jarring to every involved, even Jinshi, who is seemingly set to be very concerned.
