Today the Princess visited the Empress to arrange for Pan Yue’s return to the capital. Pan Yue needed to finish matters at the county office before meeting Qing Di in the capital. Soon, he received the imperial edict ordering his return, bringing joy to everyone, who quickly organized a banquet to bid farewell to Pan Yue and Yang Caiwei.

Chief Liu was especially grateful to Pan Yue—before his arrival, their days were muddled and aimless, but everything had changed since he came. Pan Yue expressed that Heyang was still their home and urged them to continue upholding justice. With everything behind them, Pan Yue and Yang Caiwei had found peace. Yang Caiwei even unearthed the jade pendant she had once buried, which matched Pan Yue's—now they formed a pair. Zhuo Lanjiang received word from Hongfu Restaurant and went there alone.

Bai Xiaosheng, worried about his safety, followed in secret but was discovered by Zhuo Lanjiang. He drew his sword to threaten her not to follow him again, but a crowd of onlookers rushed forward to scold him. Zhuo Lanjiang looked helpless as Bai Xiaosheng quickly explained they knew each other. Zhuo Lanjiang caused a scene at the pawnshop every day until he finally met the man his father had called a brother—but he wasn’t the real mastermind.

Zhuo Lanjiang wanted to understand who his father had truly served. The man told him to kill the person next to him, and then he would be allowed to meet the real boss. Pan Yue and Yang Caiwei returned to the capital. Seeing the familiar yet unfamiliar roads, Yang Caiwei felt overwhelmed—it was the same path she had taken with her parents when they left the capital.

On the road, an official came to escort Pan Yue into the palace, so he asked Aze to take Yang Caiwei home first. Back at the Shangguan household, Shangguan Lan showed great concern for his sister, but Yang Caiwei felt uncomfortable. He brought back the dog once raised by Shangguan Zhi, which terrified Yang Caiwei, though Ling Er stepped in to ease the situation. Shangguan Lan asked how things were between her and Pan Yue.

Seeing his sister's happiness, he felt content—no matter what, he wanted her to be the happiest bride in the world. Yang Caiwei felt deeply guilty. If only he knew that his sister had already died, how heartbroken would he be? What could she do to make up for it? Pan Yue entered the palace to greet the Empress and the Princess. Unexpectedly, the Empress planned to arrange a marriage between him and the Princess.

Pan Yue had no time to object and was forced to agree. His father didn’t want him to keep investigating—the marriage would ensure a bright future. The Empress ordered the Ministry of Rites to prepare the wedding, filling the entire month with events. In Shangguan Zhi’s room, Yang Caiwei saw paintings of herself and Pan Yue everywhere and felt helpless. She realized that Ling Er had been helping her all along.

Ling Er admitted she had known Yang Caiwei wasn’t Shangguan Zhi ever since she awoke after the incident and started behaving differently, especially after discovering Yang Caiwei’s forensic tools. But she had never thought of telling anyone—after all, life under Shangguan Zhi had been full of fear, while this current lady was a good person. Touched, Yang Caiwei asked her to stop calling her "miss"—they would be sisters from now on.

Shangguan Lan arranged a lavish meal for Yang Caiwei, and she ate until her belly bulged. Still, there was no word from Pan Yue. Just then, he sent a message asking her to meet at Fengya Courtyard. Eager, she prepared to leave at once, but Ling Er stopped her, warning that being seen by acquaintances would invite trouble.

At Fengya Courtyard, Yang Caiwei ran into Shangguan Zhi’s archrival, Sima Xuan, who dragged her in to drink tea and deliberately revealed that Pan Yue and the Princess would marry on the fifteenth of next month. Yang Caiwei was shocked. Faced with Sima Xuan and others’ mocking, Yang Caiwei retorted without hesitation.

When Sima Xuan brought out flower pollen, Yang Caiwei saw through it immediately and pretended to spill it on Sima Xuan’s face, who ended up with a swollen bee-stung face. Just then, the Princess arrived. It turned out the meeting had been arranged by the Princess—not Pan Yue. He had even told the Princess Yang Caiwei’s true identity. The Princess admitted she had personal reasons for helping Pan Yue—she genuinely wanted him to be her husband. Now, if Yang Caiwei didn’t let go, she would have to drink the cup of poison before her.
