After Xu Muchen met with Liu Wenchu, Wu Zhao came to report that the assassins who attacked Miss Hu yesterday were the same group as before, but their target for this assassination was someone else. Given that the assassins carried a portrait of Liu Rong, Xu Muchen speculated that the forces behind them were taking their anger out on Liu Rong because of him.

To ensure Liu Rong's safety, Xu Muchen decided to divorce her, and deliberately treated her coldly to create a misunderstanding, making her mistakenly believe he was having an affair with Hu Shanshan. Liu Rong was both angry and sad because of this, so she ran to the embroidery workshop to confide in her senior brothers and sisters, only to discover that her master, Yu Luo Cha, was also there.

Liu Rong refused to hand over the jade pendant to Yu Luo Cha, making the excuse that the jade pendant had not yet been found. Yu Luo Cha, worried that Duke Su would harm Liu Rong, gave her another task – to assassinate Xu Muchen. Mo Yan saw Liu Rong's affection for Xu Muchen and suggested that Qin Mumu do it on her behalf.

However, Yu Luo Cha insisted that Liu Rong do it herself, intending to save her through Xu Muchen's death. Now that Lu Rongchang had confessed that the mastermind was Duke Su, Gongyang Maocai was preparing to go to Taizhou to investigate the case and specifically came to bid farewell to Xu Muchen. Xu Muchen said he would go himself, stating frankly that the case was related to his father's wrongful conviction.

Hearing this, Gongyang Maocai no longer insisted, only reminding Xu Muchen that although he would investigate the case, the credit would belong to him. The two exchanged a smile. After Liu Rong returned to the Xu residence, she was in deep internal struggle facing the poison her master had given her. After much internal conflict, Liu Rong ultimately couldn't bring herself to harm Xu Muchen and resolutely threw the poison into the fire.

At this moment, Xu Muchen proactively came to find Liu Rong, pretending he didn't want to wrong Hu Shanshan by making her a concubine and intended to write a divorce letter to divorce Liu Rong. Liu Rong endured the pain and agreed. Soon, the news of Xu Muchen divorcing his wife quickly spread through the streets and alleys of the capital, and it became widely known that Liu Rong was no longer the young lady of the Xu residence.

Duke Su felt this matter was suspicious, suspecting that Xu Muchen did it deliberately to protect Liu Rong, and still wanted to put Liu Rong to death. Qin Mumu was furious upon hearing the news and hurried back to the embroidery workshop to report to Yu Luo Cha, planning to bring her junior sister back to her side.

However, Yu Luo Cha, using the excuse of picking someone up from the Xu residence, engaged in a fierce fight with Xu Muchen. Xu Muchen disregarded Liu Rong's pleas and killed Yu Luo Cha in front of her, leaving her heartbroken. Facing this scene, Xu Muchen showed no trace of mercy.

Instead, he sternly warned Liu Rong that he spared her life today out of consideration for their past feelings, but if they met again in the future, he would show no quarter. This scene was coincidentally witnessed by Duke Su Houde's spy. The Emperor approved Xu Muchen's trip to Taizhou to investigate the Moon Star Grass case. To avoid alerting the enemy, he decided, with Liu Wenchu's help, to go to Taizhou disguised as Mr. Liu, a merchant.

Meanwhile, Madam Xu had recognized Hu Shanshan as her foster daughter and personally saw Xu Muchen off before he departed, stating that she would select a good marriage for Hu Shanshan so that she could marry off gloriously as the second young lady of the Xu residence. --- On the other side, Qin Mumu and Mo Yan were preparing to set off for Taizhou to avenge Yu Luo Cha and asked Liu Rong to go with them.

Just as the three were preparing to leave the embroidery workshop, Gongyang Maocai suddenly appeared before them. Qin Mumu confessed everything to Gongyang Maocai, believing that the great difference in their statuses meant they were destined not to be together. However, Gongyang Maocai did not want to lose Qin Mumu and resolutely decided to resign from his official post. Subsequently, the three arrived in Taizhou and checked into an inn.

Liu Rong sensed that Qin Mumu was not in a good mood, so she didn't want to disturb her and went for a walk alone on the street. Xu Muchen, under the guise of Mr. Liu, met with Mr. Li. His speech and demeanor were flawless, leaving Mr. Li completely convinced and leading him to promise to introduce him to Young Master Zhao of the Zhao family.
