To help Yin Zheng train Li Wei, Yuan Ying specially compiled a document. But Song Wu thought it was a divorce letter and tore it up without a word. Yuan Ying wasn’t angry. Instead, she gently asked Song Wu to piece the document back together. Faced with the gentle yet imposing Yuan Ying, Song Wu lost her usual willfulness and aggressiveness, obediently picked up the fragments, and prepared to paste them back together.

Although Yuan Ying was strict with herself, Li Wei understood that she truly wanted to nurture her. To Li Wei, Yuan Ying was a wise and reasonable superior. Hao Jia couldn’t help but sigh, whether it was working or getting married, it seemed difficult to find someone worthy of entrusting one’s life to—especially as a concubine, one would suffer even more grievances.

But Li Wei didn’t quite understand why the Prince must always be pleased, or why women in Xinchuan could only rely on their husbands and live by their moods. She actually felt that someone like Yuan Ying, if not confined by the deep inner residence, would have already made great achievements. Although Yuan Ying had no hostility toward Li Wei, her maid Pomegranate had selfish intentions.

While Li Wei and Hao Jia were having a heartfelt conversation, she was eavesdropping nearby, only to be caught by Jade Vase. After Yuan Ying learned of this, she reasoned with Pomegranate and moved her with emotion, finally making her realize her mistake. Just as Yuan Ying was about to take Pomegranate to apologize to Li Wei, she unexpectedly ran into her bringing Jade Vase. Both sides were sincere and offered their apologies.

Yuan Ying managed all household affairs, even the meals of Li Wei and Yin Zheng. That night, Yin Zheng was so hungry that he quietly went to the kitchen to find something to eat, only to run into Li Wei. Li Wei slid the pastries beside her toward Yin Zheng, signaling for him to have some too. Yin Zheng felt a bit embarrassed and carefully pushed the plate back, suggesting Li Wei eat more.

The two pushed back and forth, and the atmosphere gradually became subtle. Just then, a noise came from outside, and the two hurriedly hid behind a cabinet. Sure enough, it was Yuan Ying who came in, and the two shrank into a corner in fright. Smart as she was, Yuan Ying clearly knew they were there, but she said nothing, only smiled knowingly and left. Seeing Yuan Ying walk away, Yin Zheng and Li Wei finally relaxed.

But they soon realized that in their rush to hide, they were now extremely close—so close they could clearly feel each other’s warm breath. Although the matter in Jinchuan had been resolved, the urgent task at hand was still to raise the remaining silver debt. To this end, Yin Zheng proposed on the court to promote commerce to stimulate the economy.

The court was in an uproar, but Lord Xinchuan thought it was a viable approach and ordered Yin Zheng to draft a proposal. Loyal as always, Yin Zheng even pulled Yin An into the matter, allowing him to return home and live there. Opening the night market was a major event and couldn’t be done hastily. Yin Zheng and Li Wei went to the streets to gather merchants’ opinions. Unexpectedly, they ran into Yin Song.

Yin Song stopped his carriage and mocked Yin Zheng. Li Wei couldn’t stand it and retorted. Indeed, Yuan Ying was a great teacher—though Li Wei wasn’t well-educated, she didn’t back down when faced with Yin Song’s provocation, instead reasoning with him until he left. Yin Zheng looked at her with new admiration and gave her a thumbs-up. Yin Zheng sent invitations to all his brothers, inviting them to his housewarming banquet.

To give him a hard time, Yin Song refused to attend and hinted that other ministers should not associate with Yin Zheng. Soon, the day of the banquet arrived. The new residence was lively, but no guests showed up even after a long wait. In fact, the sisters all wanted to come, but the Princes were afraid of Yin Song.
