> Resúmenes de Treasure at Dawn
Yingying, now Feng Qianli's master, instructed him to locate the Mountain-shaped Jade and the Water-shaped Jade. Feng Qianli expressed apprehension, warning that investigating these deeply involved artifacts could bring ruin upon the Hearsay-capturing Pavilion. Yingying, however, dismissed his fears, emphasizing her strong bond with Fu Sheng and his companions. She explained that in the current tumultuous state of Xichuan, finding these items was crucial for the Hearsay-capturing Pavilion's survival, representing their "silver lining."
Feng Qianli acknowledged her reasoning and agreed to diligently search for the jade, promising to report his findings directly to Fu Sheng and his group. Wen Yu, the City Lord, had collapsed at the Golden Bloom Banquet. Fu Sheng quickly identified the source of the City Lord's severe headache: an old arrow wound on the back of his neck, which had healed incompletely, leaving behind residual iron slag that caused pus and blood to accumulate, putting pressure on his brain.
Wen Jue offered to assist during the surgery, citing her experience, but Fu Sheng gently declined, explaining that her emotional state as the patient's daughter might hinder the delicate procedure. Wen Jue, despite her anxiety, placed her full trust in Fu Sheng. During the operation, after successfully cleaning the pus and blood, Fu Sheng discovered that the remaining iron slag was dangerously intertwined with the main vein.
Removing it directly risked a catastrophic hemorrhage, but leaving it would lead to a painful recurrence of the illness, potentially endangering the City Lord's life. He relayed this critical dilemma to Wen Jue, who, after a moment of intense consideration and despite Wen Jiu's verbal threats, resolutely instructed Fu Sheng to proceed, reiterating her faith in him. As the surgery continued, the City Lord experienced profuse bleeding, which standard hemostatic medicines failed to control.
In a desperate measure, Fu Sheng decided to use Moxa to cauterize the multiple bleeding veins with an open flame. This unconventional method again drew fierce opposition from Wen Jiu, who accused Fu Sheng of recklessness and threatened him. However, Wen Jue’s unwavering trust prevailed, and Fu Sheng, with Gu Tian's assistance in holding the patient steady, performed the risky procedure successfully.
Afterward, Fu Sheng assured Wen Jue that the iron slag had been safely removed, and the City Lord was out of danger, only requiring a period of recuperation. A humbled Wen Jiu apologized to Fu Sheng, offering his full support in the future. Fu Sheng, downplaying his heroic efforts, reminded them to give the City Lord pain medication and ensure he maintained a light diet with no meat during his recovery.
In the wake of his failed scheme and public disgrace, Li Zhizhuo, despite his denials, found himself cornered. Sun Siming, seizing the opportunity, approached him, expressing his unwavering loyalty and offering his full support. While outwardly accepting Sun Siming's pledge of allegiance, Li Zhizhuo secretly harbored deep mistrust.
He acknowledged Sun Siming as the only person he could rely on, having promoted him himself, but inwardly, he feared Sun Siming's cunning nature and worried that he might eventually fall victim to his machinations. Wen Jue, still unaccustomed to nursing her father, lovingly but clumsily offered him hot porridge directly from the pot. Wen Yu, despite being scalded on his upper jaw, was deeply moved by his daughter’s sincere care, affectionately calling her his "caring daughter."
He reassured her it was alright, even though he secretly wished to rest. Afterwards, Wen Yu expressed his frustration to Wen Jiu, hinting at their tacit understanding of the current political situation, while Wen Jiu advised him to focus on recuperating calmly. That evening, a servant from Chunyun House delivered an invitation from Yingying to Gu Tian, inviting him to a banquet at Chunyun House the following day at noon.
Gu Tian, intrigued yet cautious, speculated it might be a trap but decided to attend, prepared to "risk his life to please a beauty." The next day, Wen Jue arrived to fulfill her promise, offering to open a clinic for Fu Sheng.
However, Fu Sheng, who was receiving acupuncture from Gu Tian for his heavy snoring, firmly rejected the offer, stating that his singular focus in Xichuan was to uncover the secrets behind the Treasure of the Sealed Book, and he saw Li Zhizhuo as his only current lead. Frustrated by his perceived ingratitude, Wen Jue, asserting ownership over the inn, had it swiftly converted into a bustling clinic named "Wenfu Hall," effectively changing Fu Sheng's living situation.
She insisted he work there. Gu Tian arrived at Chunyun House for the banquet. Yingying greeted him, expressing gratitude for his past kindness and assistance, including protecting her from Chairman Song and caring for her after she accidentally injured him. They shared their difficult pasts: Gu Tian spoke of his orphaned childhood, learning acrobatics through hardship and theft.
Yingying, in turn, revealed her early life of begging with Hulu and eventually selling herself to Chunyun House as an entertainer to afford Hulu's medical expenses, hoping to eventually redeem her freedom. Gu Tian admired her resilience and integrity in such a morally ambiguous environment. Following their heartfelt conversation, they shared a musical performance—Gu Tian playing and Yingying singing a song about the strength of ordinary people—which culminated in a passionate kiss.
During their embrace, Gu Tian discovered a distinct horseshoe-shaped mark on Yingying's neck. This mark immediately stirred his suspicion, as he recalled seeing the same symbol on the black-clad figures at Lin's Mansion. Sensing his sudden shift in demeanor, Yingying quickly departed. Returning to Fu Sheng, Gu Tian found that Wen Jue had already transformed their inn into "Wenfu Hall."
He teased Fu Sheng about Wen Jue's obvious affection, then conveyed his suspicion about Yingying possibly being "Breakwall" due to the horseshoe-shaped mark he observed on her. Fu Sheng was alarmed, fearing Yingying might be targeting their jade plate and that their cover could be blown. Deciding to gather more information, Gu Tian visited Hulu. Hulu, unaware of the underlying concerns, openly shared his past with Gu Tian.
He recounted being an orphan, raised by Yingying, who in turn was adopted but became homeless after her foster parents died. Gu Tian then located Yingying at her old, dilapidated family residence. Confronted by Gu Tian, Yingying confessed, revealing the horseshoe-shaped mark on her shoulder was a "slave brand," a symbol of the lowest social status in the Xihuang region.
She recounted her traumatic past: abducted by the Zhang Hu couple, branded, and subjected to abuse by their cook, Wang Song, who used food as leverage. Gu Tian offered her comfort, asserting his protection. Yingying then disclosed her true identity: she was not "Breakwall" but the secret leader of the Hearsay-capturing Pavilion.
She detailed her extraordinary journey from a ten-year-old detective in the slums to becoming the top courtesan at Chunyun House, all while secretly building her vast intelligence network with three thousand detectives. Gu Tian acknowledged the immense suffering she must have endured to achieve such a position. Later, Gu Tian brought Yingying to Fu Sheng and Wen Jue, revealing her leadership of the Hearsay-capturing Pavilion.
Yingying admitted her deception but assured them of her benevolent intentions and her admiration for their genuine camaraderie. Wen Jue, deferring to Fu Sheng as the owner of the jade, left the decision of accepting Yingying to him. Fu Sheng readily agreed, seeing it as an advantage to have a reliable ally from the Hearsay-capturing Pavilion in their quest for the treasure. Wen Jue also welcomed Yingying, extending her protection over her and expressing fondness for Hulu.
They decided to formally establish themselves as the "treasure-hunting squad in Xichuan," with Wen Jue as their captain, promising to cover all their expenses. Yingying, eager to contribute, offered the full resources of her three thousand detectives to help locate the remaining two pieces of jade, especially since Li Zhizhuo was also searching for them. Amidst this new alliance, Fu Sheng and Wen Jue continued their quirky friendship.
Fu Sheng, after some playful banter with Wen Jue about the odd group they formed in the clinic, expressed his long-held desire to acquire a cadaver for a heart transplant study, which elicited a surprised suggestion from Wen Jue for him to experiment on himself instead.
