Just as Cheng Shaoshang deduced, if the theory of cause and effect hinted at the location, then the cause must be the two thousand pieces of fine copper. The group discovered Cheng Shi at the copper mine in Tongniu County. After five days of rest and care from Xiao Yuanyi, his health gradually improved, and she also came to understand the full story. Back then, Yan Zhong and Cheng Shi discussed how to handle the two thousand fine copper pieces.
To prevent the military supplies from being looted if Tongniu County fell, Cheng Shi suggested hiding them outside the city. However, they were ambushed midway—Yan Zhong’s entire family was killed, and Cheng Shi escaped with his life, eventually collapsing in the grass. When Cheng Shi woke and saw Lou Ben, he didn’t suspect a thing. Instead, he was deceived by Lou Ben and had to hide in the mine, hoping to clear his name as soon as possible.
As he was speaking, Old Madam Cheng burst into the room crying, both distressed for her eldest son and unable to resist her nagging. Xiao Yuanyi calmed Mother’s emotions, and this harmonious scene between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left Cheng Shi astonished. The Lou Ben case had finally concluded. The Lou family elders condemned Grand Preceptor Lou for obstructing the younger generation’s future, leading to disaster.
Yet Grand Preceptor Lou shifted all the blame onto his wife, resulting in disgrace and estrangement from his family. He was ultimately sent back to his wife's family home. As for the Second Branch, after enduring great grief, they decided to relocate the entire household to Hua County. Cheng Shaoshang personally went to see Lou Yao off, accompanied by Ling Buyi, and felt remorse for the recent events.
Though Lou Yao was understanding, witnessing his brother die before his eyes made it difficult to move on. For now, he didn’t know how to face Cheng Shaoshang, and it would take time to heal. After Lou Yao boarded the carriage, He Zhaojun came to bid farewell to Cheng Shaoshang. She no longer had the willful, spoiled air of her younger days—her gaze was confident and resilient, with no trace of darkness.
Her words were heartfelt advice, and she said that if they met again, she would treat her to wine and meat. Since Lou Ben’s death, Cheng Shaoshang hadn’t seen Wang Yanji. Later, she heard that Wang Yanji had drowned herself in the river out of love. The river ran fast that night, and the Lou family guards went in after her but couldn’t save her. To this day, both mother and child were missing, their bodies never recovered.
Cheng Shaoshang felt deeply sorrowful—after all, Wang Yanji had helped her many times and, apart from Lou Yao, had been the kindest to her. Moved by these events, Cheng Shaoshang warned Ling Buyi to remember that she never sought wealth or power—only peace and happiness. They must never stray or make mistakes, for there would be no turning back.
Ling Buyi was momentarily stunned, seemingly harboring a secret, but ultimately said nothing and instead took her to visit his mother at the Xinghua Villa. Huo Junhua personally made almond cakes for Ling Buyi and called him by his childhood nickname. Cheng Shaoshang, wanting to give the mother and son some time alone, left with Cui You. Although Huo Junhua seemed full of spirit, in truth, she was at the end of her strength.
As the early-born daughter of the Huo matriarch, she had been frail since childhood and cherished. After giving birth to Ling Buyi and surviving a life-threatening ordeal, she had been left weak for years. Not only Huo Junhua, but Ling Buyi himself had been a premature baby, unlike the other Huo children. Cui You vaguely recalled that General Huo’s youngest son and Ling Buyi were of similar age, very close, and resembled each other.
Ling Yi had even mistaken Huo Wushang for Ling Buyi several times. In fact, while Huo Wushang and Ling Buyi looked alike, their personalities were completely different. As a child, Ling Buyi was lively and active and loved almond cakes. Huo Wushang, on the other hand, was quiet and well-mannered, fond of reading and calligraphy, but couldn’t eat almond cakes—doing so would give him rashes.
On the way back, Ling Buyi suddenly developed a fever and rash, eventually fainting against Cheng Shaoshang. Fortunately, they returned in time, and after the doctor’s treatment, he was out of danger. The Liang brothers were curious why Cheng Shaoshang left without waiting for Ling Buyi to wake up and guessed she might be angry at him for not taking care of his health.
As they spoke, Ling Buyi struggled out of bed despite his discomfort, led his men, and dragged Peng Kun from the Court of Judicial Review to the Northern Army prison. There, he subjected him to brutal torture, forcing him to reveal the truth behind the Lonely City case. Peng Kun showed no remorse, declaring that he and his soldiers had fought many battles, only for the Old Prince of Qian’an to reap the rewards.
He added that the young Prince of Qian’an deserved death for his incompetence and that General Huo’s death was just bad luck. Ling Buyi was furious. Though he didn’t kill Peng Kun, he had plenty of ways to make his life worse than death. That night, Cheng Shaoshang tossed and turned, haunted by all that had happened, and a bold theory suddenly came to mind. At that moment, Empress Xuan came to talk.
Since the Lou family’s entire clan had been dismissed from office and even the Crown Prince was implicated, Cheng Shaoshang felt a bit guilty. But Empress Xuan didn’t blame her—on the contrary, she chatted about Ling Buyi’s childhood. The next morning, Wang Ling ran crying into Changqiu Palace, begging Cheng Shaoshang to spare her husband so their child wouldn’t be fatherless. Cheng Shaoshang couldn’t understand—Peng Kun was wicked and disloyal. How could Wang Jin still care for him?
Unexpectedly, Wang Jin’s deep affection for Peng Kun was beyond imagination. Seeing Cheng Shaoshang unmoved, Wang Jin became disheartened and, before leaving, warned her to see Ling Buyi’s true nature—he was the most unfathomable and terrifying man.
