Qu Manting was invited to attend the birthday banquet of the Grand Princess Consort at the Prince Rong's Mansion. After much consideration, she accepted. Xie Xiang went to buy food for Gu Yanzhen, and on the way, she ran into Tan Xiaojun, who couldn't help but tease them about their relationship. The next morning, Xie Xiang got dressed neatly and went out. Gu Yanzhen told her to come back early and bring him back some food.
Xie Xiang borrowed a bicycle from Ji Jin and quietly followed Oda Hiroshi to the Shen residence. Shen Junshan came out shortly after and got into his family's car, heading to the Prince Rong's Mansion with Oda Hiroshi. Qu Manting arrived at the Prince Rong's Mansion early by rickshaw and was furious to see the Prince Rong's butler personally come out to greet Yuan Pingting. The guard asked Qu Manting for her invitation.
She had to admit that she was there to perform opera. The servants of the mansion really treated Qu Manting as an actress and wanted to take her to get ready for makeup. Qu Manting vented all her anger on Xiao Tao, who couldn't stop complaining. Xie Xiang rode her bicycle, following Shen Junshan and Oda Hiroshi's car. As they passed a secluded forest, Shen Junshan suddenly saw a roadblock ahead.
He quickly got out to see what was going on, but unexpectedly, he fell into an ambush. Shen Junshan immediately drew his gun to resist. Seeing this, Xie Xiang jumped off her bike and rushed over to support Shen Junshan. The two of them worked together to fight against the invaders. The birthday banquet officially began. The old Prince and the Grand Princess Consort sat on the high platform.
Pei Shun brought his wife, children, and the elderly to pay respects to the Grand Princess Consort, thanking the old Prince for his support. Pei Shun was formerly a guard at the Prince Rong's Mansion and is now a military commander. The Grand Princess Consort heavily rewarded his family. Yuan Pingting inquired about Qu Manting from Xiao Yang, slandering Qu Manting as Shen Tingbai's mistress. Xiao Yang tried her best to defend Qu Manting but was scolded by Yuan Pingting.
Yuan Pingting forced her to say who was more beautiful. Xiao Yang had no choice but to admit that Yuan Pingting was more beautiful, but Yuan Pingting was relentless, severely pinching Xiao Yang's arm. Qu Manting suddenly burst in and glared at Yuan Pingting. Suddenly, fireworks were set off outside. Xiao Yang quickly went out to check the situation and learned that Cheng Rui Beile had carefully prepared them. The Grand Princess Consort and the old Prince were very pleased.
Just then, Oda Hiroshi suddenly led her people into the Prince Rong's Mansion. Pei Shun quickly stepped forward to stop them. The Japanese samurai immediately fired warning shots, frightening Pei Shun who took a few steps back. Oda Hiroshi had prepared a coffin as a birthday gift for the Grand Princess Consort. The Grand Princess Consort cursed at her and told her to get out.
Oda Hiroshi did not yield at all and boasted about the coffin she had ordered for the Grand Princess Consort. Cheng Rui Beile was furious, grinding his teeth and cursing at Oda Hiroshi. The Grand Princess Consort ordered the mansion's servants to drive her out. Oda Hiroshi threatened Cheng Rui Beile. Qu Manting and Yuan Pingting engaged in a war of words.
Just as she was about to leave, she saw through the crack in the door that the Japanese samurai were killing the servants of the Prince Rong's Mansion one by one. She was terrified and quickly hid back in the room. Yuan Pingting also saw this bloody scene. The two of them were trembling with fear. Oda Hiroshi's subordinates quietly sneaked into the room and finally found the emperor's golden seal in the safe.
The Japanese samurai tiptoed into the room. Qu Manting and Yuan Pingting were so scared they didn't dare to breathe. The samurai heard movement outside and quickly and quietly withdrew. Only then did Qu Manting and Yuan Pingting dare to leave the room. They unintentionally heard the Japanese samurai saying that Oda Hiroshi had completed the mission and that they should quickly withdraw.
Oda Hiroshi publicly listed the Grand Princess Consort's numerous wicked deeds and finally raised a wine glass and poured it on the ground. Knowing that the samurai had succeeded, Oda Hiroshi took her leave. Shen Junshan took Xie Xiang home and helped her bandage her wound. Shen Tingbai thanked Xie Xiang for saving Shen Junshan and was curious why she had followed Oda Hiroshi.
Xie Xiang admitted that she had been following Oda Hiroshi and discovered that she had close ties with the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. Shen Junshan reminded Xie Xiang to be more careful. Oda Hiroshi severely slapped Fujiwara, accusing him of not being supposed to attack Shen Junshan on his own initiative. Fujiwara tried his best to explain but was beaten severely by Oda Hiroshi. Fujiwara advised her not to be blinded by emotions, lest she delay important matters.
Oda Hiroshi forbade him from interfering. The old Prince could not sleep at night. Cheng Rui Beile promised to retrieve the golden seal. The old Prince was heartbroken by Oda Hiroshi. Back then, he had adopted Oda Hiroshi and her mother, but the Grand Princess Consort could not tolerate them and drove them out of the mansion. Qu Manting came to the Shannan Tavern and eagerly told Tan Xiaojun about her experience at the Prince Rong's Mansion.
Qu Manting fantasized about Gu Yanzhen proposing to her and them walking down the aisle together. Tan Xiaojun couldn't help but laugh at her infatuation. Cheng Rui Beile came to find Huo Xiaoyu overnight. Huo Xiaoyu had already guessed the purpose of his visit and refused to help him steal back the golden seal. Cheng Rui Beile had no choice but to leave disappointed.
Huo Xiaoyu told Old Six to have Zha Meng and the others keep a close watch on the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. Guo Shuting came to the Shannan Tavern and brushed past Qu Manting. Guo Shuting was momentarily stunned, feeling that she resembled someone. Qu Manting came to find Guo Shuting with an approval document from Director Wang of the Police Department, wanting to borrow a cadet to be her bodyguard. Guo Shuting flatly refused.
Qu Manting directly barged into the office. Guo Shuting warmly welcomed her and agreed to send a few people to provide her with close protection. Qu Manting chose Xie Xiang, and Guo Shuting readily agreed, casually asking about Qu Manting's family background. Qu Manting invited him to see her performance at Parimo. Xie Xiang and Shen Junshan sat at the same table for dinner. Gu Yanzhen sat beside them, gesturing aggressively at Xie Xiang.
Seeing this, Ji Jin and Zhu Yanlin quickly made excuses to leave. Xie Xiang told Shen Junshan about the stolen golden seal, suspecting that Oda Hiroshi was responsible and that the Japanese who attacked Shen Junshan were also related to Oda Hiroshi. Xie Xiang lamented having no concrete evidence and recounted the details of the incident to Shen Junshan. She had also seen Oda Hiroshi entering and leaving the Japanese Chamber of Commerce. Shen Junshan still did not believe it.
He did not believe that Oda Hiroshi would attack him. Gu Yanzhen watched Xie Xiang and Shen Junshan talking enthusiastically and was so angry that he was itching to fight. Guo Shuting sent someone to call Xie Xiang away. Gu Yanzhen immediately went to argue with Shen Junshan, relentlessly pressing him about whether he liked Xie Xiang, and warning him to stay away from her. Shen Junshan felt that Gu Yanzhen was being unreasonable and ignored him out of spite.
