Because Changpu forcibly occupied the writing desk and refused to hand it over to Lianfang, a fierce quarrel broke out between the two sides. Madam Fu deliberately led Xiao Yuanyi to the scene so she could witness the farce. Seizing the moment, Changpu pretended to faint, catching everyone off guard. When it happened, Cheng Shaoshang was standing near the door, looking around anxiously. As Lianfang was still nowhere to be seen, she couldn’t help but grow suspicious.

It wasn’t until Qingcong came to summon Cheng Shaoshang to Jiuzhui Hall for questioning that she realized something was wrong. Even Cheng Song and Cheng Shaogong were caught off guard. Before they arrived, whether it was Madam Fu or others making accusations, the implication was that Fourth Miss of the Cheng family bullied the weak and feared the strong, behaving arrogantly and seizing Cheng Yang’s desk.

When Xiao Yuanyi questioned them, Cheng Shaogong repeatedly emphasized that the desk was a gift from him to his sister, and it even had the four-headed qilin carved into it, proving his words were true. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable, Madam Fu didn’t wait for Cheng Shaoshang to defend herself and claimed that Lianfang had intentionally flaunted the desk to Cheng Yang to show off that Cheng Shaoshang had two elder brothers supporting her. This accusation displeased the Cheng brothers.

Even the usually calm and steady Cheng Song couldn't hold back and said they should summon Changpu for questioning. Xiao Yuanyi glanced at Qingcong, signaling her subtly. Qingcong lifted her foot to step on Changpu’s face, and Changpu immediately "regained consciousness," no longer pretending to be unconscious. Intimidated by Xiao Yuanyi’s imposing presence, Changpu could only tell the truth, and even the maid Zhuyi in the room could testify.

However, Xiao Yuanyi deliberately protected Cheng Yang, insisting that the maids from both sides were at fault and should be punished. She then said a few comforting words to Cheng Yang in front of everyone. As the tension seemed to ease and the conflict looked like it could be resolved, Cheng Shaoshang still knelt below, let out a bitter laugh as if awakening from a dream, and lamented how ironic today’s events were.

She tilted her head slightly and questioned Lianfang, citing examples and cleverly interpreting others’ words, accusing the second branch of deflecting responsibility. Her sharp questions left Madam Fu and Changpu utterly humiliated. Xiao Yuanyi stopped Cheng Shaoshang from continuing and stated that the matter would not be pursued further.

However, Madam Fu didn’t know when to stop, and perhaps emboldened by her perceived support, continued to complain that Cheng Shaoshang only dared to behave this way because she had her brothers backing her, causing Cheng Yang to suffer. At this point, Sang Shunhua, who had remained silent, could no longer bear it and rebuked Madam Fu for meddling in the household’s internal matters. Originally, Cheng Shaoshang had been waiting for her mother’s punishment.

However, Xiao Yuanyi’s handling of the situation left her dissatisfied. She directly questioned Xiao Yuanyi, asking if she agreed with Madam Fu’s words. If not, then Madam Fu should be punished on the spot for sowing discord within the Cheng family. Xiao Yuanyi was already fed up, but upon hearing Cheng Shaoshang’s relentless reasoning, she became furious and scolded her for being unfilial. As soon as the words left her mouth, Xiao Yuanyi immediately regretted them.

Qingcong and the others were stunned, clearly finding it unbelievable. Cheng Shaoshang knew that although she was the legitimate daughter of the head of the household, her position was precarious. If this matter wasn’t resolved properly today, she might have to live in fear and never regain her footing. Determined, Cheng Shaoshang coldly refuted Madam Fu, stating that Xiao Yuanyi had not reprimanded her simply out of concern for Cheng Yang’s reputation.

Everyone thought her brothers favored her, but wasn’t it Xiao Yuanyi who was biased toward her cousin in the first place? Furious, Xiao Yuanyi wanted to impose strict punishment, but seeing the two brothers pleading for her again, she vented her anger on Cheng Shaogong, scolding him for not giving away both desks, which had led to this mess. Cheng Shaoshang remained upright on her knees without fear, even stating that Xiao Yuanyi should not blame her brother.

Pointing to the desk she used, she declared that her mother had shown no sense of proportion by acting unfairly in the name of justice. The Cheng brothers and Cheng Yang also knelt beside Cheng Shaoshang, willing to be punished in her place. Sang Shunhua, admiring Cheng Shaoshang’s courage, feigned stomach pain and took Xiao Yuanyi away from Jiuzhui Hall. In truth, Sang Shunhua felt that Xiao Yuanyi’s handling of the matter was unfair.

It was clearly Cheng Yang’s maid who made a serious mistake, yet every word of blame was directed at Cheng Shaoshang. Xiao Yuanyi had to admit that she had let her stubbornness get the better of her, was in the wrong, and had lost. She had spoken rashly in a moment of anger. Originally, Xiao Yuanyi had intended to downplay the incident, but the situation only escalated. Sang Shunhua suggested that she step in to resolve it.

As expected, Cheng Shaoshang was willing to give her third aunt face and did not pursue the matter further. She even expressed a desire to go out during the Lantern Festival, which Sang Shunhua readily agreed to. The previously tense atmosphere instantly lifted, and everyone was in good spirits. After the desk dispute, the Lantern Festival arrived. With peace in the land and no wars in the vicinity, the curfew was extended by two hours.

A wide street was opened for the citizens to enjoy the lanterns. The entire Cheng household went out, and Cheng Shaoshang wore a dress given by Sang Shunhua, making her stand out brightly. The Liang brothers had made the necessary arrangements. If anyone showed up tonight with a lantern associated with Xu Jinzhong, they would act immediately. Ling Buyi saw Cheng Shaoshang from the city wall and couldn’t take his eyes off her.

However, at the moment, she was joyfully playing with her brothers. On both sides of the street, various lanterns were displayed, each with a riddle attached. Cheng Shaoshang was dazzled but not particularly interested in solving the riddles. Many people had heard that the great talent of Bailu Mountain, Yuan Shen, had come to join the riddle-solving event, and they gathered under the building in admiration.

He Zhaojun brought Lou Yao along to participate, but he was no match for Yuan Shen. Instead, it was Cheng Shaoshang who knew a bit and could keep up. As expected, Yuan Shen once again topped the riddle board this year. He even posed a new riddle himself. Cheng Shaoshang, aiming to win a bottle of "Thousand Mile Drunk," easily solved it, catching the attention of both Lou Yao and Yuan Shen. Feeling humiliated, He Zhaojun stormed off in anger.

As she nearly fell, she was fortunately caught by the Young Lord Xiao. Ling Buyi had already deduced that Xu Jinzhong’s mysterious backer was connected to Prince Yong. Though Prince Yong had been away from the capital for several months, he was expected to appear tonight at the Tian Family Restaurant. Meanwhile, Lou Yao fell for Cheng Shaoshang at first sight, and Yuan Shen felt the same.

He even tossed her an embroidered ball, but upon hearing that someone had fallen into the water, Cheng Shaoshang threw it back without hesitation. Princess Yuchang had deliberately jumped into the water to attract Ling Buyi’s attention. Cheng Shaoshang noticed the silt in the river and kicked others in to confirm that the water was not deep. Just as Ling Buyi cast her an admiring glance, the Tian Family Restaurant suddenly caught fire. The crowd panicked and scattered. While looking for her father, Cheng Shaoshang nearly got caught in the chaos, but fortunately, Ling Buyi arrived just in time and carried her out of danger in a princess carry before turning and leaving.
