Bai Minmin realized that the play on stage was telling the story of her and Zhang Huaiyu. It was a birthday gift from Zhang Huaiyu, and Bai Minmin was delighted. But then news reached the capital claiming that Zhang Huaiyu had been killed in Lingzhou. Bai Minmin waited for a day, only to have Lu Ting confirm the truth—she was heartbroken.

As Shu Jingran and Yun Yi were preparing to meet up with Jiang Xu, they received word that news of Zhang Huaiyu’s death had already reached the capital. Jiang Xu and Ming Tan’s carriage was ambushed on the road. Jiang Xu fought the assassins alone and warned Ming Tan to stay in the carriage no matter what. As more and more attackers arrived, Yun Yi and the others arrived just in time to help.

In the chaos, Jiang Xu was injured while protecting Ming Tan. When Shu Jingran saw Yun Yi nearly killed, he charged in recklessly and was stabbed in the back. Ming Tingyuan, protecting them in secret, helped them escape danger, but Yun Yi was captured by Hai Shen’s men. Jiang Xu sent people to rescue her. He believed Yun Yi’s life wasn’t in danger for now, but she would likely suffer.

Shu Jingran was so anxious he was pacing in circles, blaming himself for never having learned martial arts—now he couldn’t even protect the one he wanted to protect. In a moment of recklessness, he tried to go rescue her alone but was stopped by Jiang Xu. Their friendship nearly shattered, and Ming Tan quickly stepped in to mediate, reminding them that the greater the crisis, the more they needed to keep calm. Jiang Xu decided to enter Lingzhou overnight.

On that freezing cold night, a firefly landed on Yun Yi’s nose. Bound at the feet, Yun Yi recalled that night and smiled. Jiang Xu was angry at Shu Jingran—for a friend of many years to still doubt him was deeply hurtful. Ming Tan quickly played peacemaker between Jiang Xu and Shu Jingran. In the carriage, Jiang Xu kept complaining, while Shu Jingran admitted his earlier impulsiveness.

After a night, the carriage reached the outskirts of Lingzhou but was stopped by soldiers demanding a bribe to allow entry. After entering Lingzhou, Jiang Xu, Ming Tan, and Shu Jingran discovered that the Su family ruled Lingzhou with unchecked power, and corrupt individuals were everywhere. Ming Tan urged Jiang Xu and Shu Jingran to investigate Yun Yi’s whereabouts as quickly as possible. She felt she would only slow them down, and each should focus on what they do best.

Though Jiang Xu was worried, he agreed for the sake of Ming Tan’s safety. The troublemakers Jiang Xu had just dealt with showed up again to stir up trouble in a teahouse. A certain Lord Zhang had also ruled carelessly in court. Without a word, Jiang Xu beat them all up. Shu Jingran, well-versed in the Da Xian officials’ records, caused Lord Zhang to realize who he was dealing with and promptly withdrew his arrogance.

Su Wenchun’s daughter Su Er Rong and her husband Yu Bozhong rushed to greet Jiang Xu and Shu Jingran. Upon entering the Su residence, they first dealt with the gate soldiers and the troublemakers. Su Wenchun, upon hearing the news, wrote to Su Er Rong, instructing the couple to treat the guests well. Since hearing the news of Zhang Huaiyu’s death, Bai Minmin had been in constant sorrow.

She even closed Wentaoge and grew despondent whenever she thought of her past with Zhang Huaiyu. But then she remembered how Zhang Huaiyu had entrusted Wentaoge to her, and she resolved to make it even more outstanding. Since it had been entrusted to her, she had to guard it well. Ming Tan disguised herself as Miss He and swaggered into Lingzhou. The city was full of treasures, and she was determined to enjoy shopping around.

To host Jiang Xu properly, Su Er Rong brought out many fine goods. In her eyes, what men valued most were either wealth or women—she assumed Jiang Xu was no different.
