His Majesty truly underestimated Su Wenchun—this man is cunning and calculating to the extreme. Even though Su Er Rong was involved in a major smuggling case, her father managed to come out completely unscathed. That said, Su Wenchun’s power is already waning, and Su Er Rong will not escape a sentence of execution. Enraged and frustrated, Su Wenchun furiously ordered his subordinates to carry out a secret task.

At that moment, Gao Chen arrived at Wentao Pavilion with a group of arrogant dandies, aggressively looking for trouble with Bai Minmin, and even slandering Zhang Huaiyu, whose fate was still unknown. Just as the situation reached a critical point, Zhang Huaiyu appeared in time and saved Bai Minmin. The servants quickly carried the injured Gao Chen away. Watching Bai Minmin storm off in anger, Zhang Huaiyu hurried after her and sincerely apologized.

It was only then that Bai Minmin finally gathered the courage to express her feelings. Over the past few months, she had been worried and thinking about him every day. When she received news of his death, it felt like a knife through her heart, and she lost all hope. Now that he had returned safely, her heart was filled with a mix of love and resentment.

Zhang Huaiyu embraced Bai Minmin tightly and solemnly promised to persuade his family soon and formally come to her home to propose. Jiang Xu carefully selected a peerless guqin as a gift for Ming Tan. At that time, the two of them were beneath the bright moon in the pavilion, talking and laughing, enjoying a harmonious moment to the sound of beautiful music.

Meanwhile, Yun Yi, according to Ming Tan’s arrangement, set off fireworks at the right time—it was a gift she had prepared specifically for Jiang Xu. Watching the dazzling fireworks bloom in the sky, Shu Jingran felt sentimental. Rather than worrying about the uncertain future, he decided it was better to cherish the rare moments with Yun Yi now.

After a strict investigation by the Court of Judicial Review, the bribed officials had confessed, and the main culprit turned out to be Liu Mo, the Assistant Minister of Revenue. His Majesty was shocked that Su Wenchun had pushed Liu Mo out to take the blame. As he read the confession, Liu Mo calmly stepped forward and admitted guilt. At that moment, Su Wenchun secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, following orders from the General of Dingbei, the Ministry of Revenue conducted a deep investigation into Liu Mo’s background. It turned out he was from Qingzhou, but after thorough inquiries, no family with the surname Liu could be found. His Majesty might recall that years ago, Prince Minzong and the Dingbei Army died on the battlefield because reinforcements never arrived.

The scout was held responsible—it was he who delayed delivering the military report, leading to the bloodshed of countless soldiers. The scout later committed suicide, and Liu Mo was his son. Afterward, he followed his mother to the capital and took her surname. That night, the Emperor disguised himself and secretly visited the prison. Liu Mo was caught off guard by this favor.

His Majesty knew Liu Mo was taking the blame for someone else and had verified that he wasn’t a greedy man, so he deduced that Liu Mo was doing it for revenge. He revealed that the scout Yan Changrong’s death had hidden truths. Fifteen years ago, delaying military intelligence was indeed a capital offense, but Yan Changrong had presented evidence he was drugged and slept through half the day. He later hanged himself in prison.

Liu Mo immediately realized his father had been silenced and that someone had used him. It dawned on him like a sudden awakening: he had served Su Wenchun loyally for years, only to realize Su Wenchun had long known his identity and used it for his own gain. All those years of planning had been based on treating an enemy like a father.

Su Wenchun sent someone in his place to visit Liu Mo and persuade him not to cause trouble before his death. Liu Mo immediately recognized the man—it was Brother Si. As a child, Liu Mo never had a full meal, let alone access to schooling. It was Brother Si who had secretly funded his education and taught him how to conduct himself. Liu Mo had believed Brother Si to be long dead, but now he appeared safe and sound.

Brother Si explained that he had come to see Liu Mo off one last time. Remembering the kindness of the past, Liu Mo ate the food without hesitation and expressed deep gratitude. But suspicion crept in: why had Su Wenchun chosen him from so many orphans? Why was Brother Si so willing to serve under Su Wenchun? Could it be that Yan Changrong had been killed by Brother Si?

Seeing the man's nervous and uneasy expression, Liu Mo confirmed it was indeed Brother Si who had silenced his father. Brother Si admitted that deserting the army had been a capital offense, and if not for Su Wenchun’s help, he would’ve died while fleeing.
