That night, after attending to Ning Que, Sangsang meticulously tidied the House of Calligraphy. Believing Mo Shanshan was the perfect woman for Ning Que, she resolved to leave. The next morning, before dawn, Sangsang quietly packed her belongings and departed. She went to the inn where Mo Shanshan was staying and found her writing in the snow. Overwhelmed by Mo Shanshan's perfection, Sangsang praised everything about her, from her hair and eyes to her clothes and handwriting.
After Mo Shanshan gifted her a beautiful handkerchief, Sangsang humbly asked her to become their family's "young mistress" before running off, leaving a pleased Mo Shanshan behind. Sangsang then went to the Grand Secretary's Mansion, announcing to Zeng Jing and his overjoyed wife that she was moving in, but asked them not to tell anyone where she was. Ning Que awoke and repeatedly called for Sangsang, expecting her to fetch his new robe or prepare breakfast, but received no reply.
Initially, he dismissed it, assuming she had simply gone out for groceries. However, as the day progressed and the house remained cold and empty with no food or hot water, he grew increasingly frustrated. He went to get money for food, only to discover half of his silver notes missing. Realizing something was seriously amiss, he rushed to Qi Si of the Yulong Gang, asking for help to find Sangsang.
He then went to the Princess's Mansion, where Princess Li Yu informed him that Sangsang was at Zeng Jing's mansion, subtly implying Ning Que had been too preoccupied with "the Book-Addict girl from Dahe" to care for his own maid. Ning Que immediately stormed over to the Grand Secretary's Mansion. Zeng Jing confirmed Sangsang was indeed his daughter and expressed profound gratitude to Ning Que for saving her life and raising her.
Despite this, Ning Que demanded to take Sangsang home, asserting his legal right as her household head and threatening to sue them. Zeng Jing's wife firmly refused, stating Sangsang had served him long enough. Ning Que escalated, reminding them of his status as the Sage's direct disciple, Mr. Thirteen of the Academy, a guest of honor in the Imperial Study, and a friend of the Princess.
He threatened to expose any corruption in Zeng Jing's household and warned them of his ruthlessness by citing his actions at Shubi Lake and the fate of Prince Long Qing. Finally, he threatened to burn down their mansion. At this point, Sangsang intervened, telling Zeng Jing and his wife not to fear Ning Que and promising to enlist "Second Brother" (Jun Mo) to deal with him if he followed through on his threat.
Annoyed by her newfound confidence, Ning Que chided her about her new clothes and how she still seemed out of place. He then sternly asked Zeng Jing and his wife to leave for a private conversation. Alone, Ning Que insisted she come home, but Sangsang adamantly refused, declaring she simply "didn't like it" and "wasn't happy."
When Ning Que claimed he had raised her, Sangsang defiantly retorted that she had been the one taking care of him, doing laundry and cooking, since he was eight, and reminded him that it was her idea to sell his calligraphy, which brought them wealth. Ning Que conceded that he would eventually marry, but struggled to explain how he still wanted them to "live together for the rest of our lives."
Seizing the moment, Sangsang called her parents back and inquired about eligible, unmarried sons of ministers. Zeng Jing confirmed several prominent families had inquired about her. Sangsang defiantly declared she would get married. Ning Que furiously forbade it, claiming she was too young. Sangsang countered that she was over sixteen and could legally marry.
In response to Ning Que’s jibe that she was "black and thin," Sangsang proudly listed her assets: daughter of the Grand Secretary, friend of the Princess, disciple of the High Priest of Light, and owner of ten thousand taels of silver. Still, Ning Que forbade her marriage and angrily sent her parents away again. Ning Que calmed down and attempted to negotiate.
He confessed to liking Mo Shanshan, attempting to justify it by reminding Sangsang that she herself had said Mo Shanshan was a good person. Sangsang, however, stated simply that she didn't like him liking someone else. Realizing Sangsang had grown up, Ning Que pleaded with her to return, lamenting that he couldn't sleep or eat properly without her and even giving her specific instructions on how to cook eggs.
Sangsang firmly refused, and Ning Que, defeated, promised to return the next day. As he walked away, Sangsang broke down and cried. Back at the House of Calligraphy, the loneliness was unbearable, making Ning Que wonder how Sangsang had endured months alone in the wilderness. The next morning, he went to the inn and saw Mo Shanshan writing, but didn't disturb her. Instead, he went to the river to vent his frustrations at the stones.
Chen Pipi appeared, mocking him for cursing at rocks over a "little black maid." He informed Ning Que that his situation had caused a major rift at the Academy, with Eldest Brother Li Manman and Second Brother Jun Mo fiercely arguing. Li Manman supported Ning Que marrying Mo Shanshan or other suitable ladies. Jun Mo, however, declared that Ning Que was inseparable from Sangsang and that if a marriage were to be arranged, he would "prefer Sangsang."
