When Shen Zhiyi appeared before everyone, Xie Wei looked astonished. Xue Shu ordered people to hold Jiang Xuening down and even smashed the handful of soil that Shen Zhiyi had given her. Jiang Xuening stared fixedly at the soil scattered on the ground; the whip lashes on her body were the same pain Shen Zhiyi had felt when leaving her homeland. After the scene dispersed, Xie Wei learned that Jiang Xuening hadn’t come out.

Xue Shu had vented her anger and said she’d let Jiang Xuening go if she begged for mercy. At that moment, Xie Wei arrived and Xue Shu finally spared Jiang Xuening. Trembling, Jiang Xuening gathered the soil into a box, tears falling from her eyes. Seeing Jiang Xuening in such a state made Xie Wei furious, but he was also concerned about her health. He quickly picked her up and placed her in the carriage.

Jiang Xuening clutched the box tightly—it was the last thing Shen Zhiyi had left her. She couldn’t save anyone, couldn’t protect anyone, and in the end, she was just a pitiful clown. Xie Wei tried to comfort her, promising that he would help her reclaim the dignity she had lost today. As for Shen Zhiyi, she would definitely return. Hearing that Jiang Xuening had not returned, her father was about to lead people out to search.

Outside the mansion, Xie Wei’s carriage had already arrived. Jiang Xuening had fallen asleep, and as Xie Wei carried her down, he couldn't help but kiss her—just as her father arrived to scold his daughter and saw it. Zhou Yinzhi, searching through records, was discovered by the Xue family. Duke Xue pressured him to reveal the person behind the scenes, and Zhou Yinzhi immediately gave up Xie Wei.

The next day after court, Jiang Xuening’s father found Xie Wei and reminded him that as her teacher, he should mind his conduct. But Xie Wei pretended not to understand. He insisted that he wouldn’t let worldly norms restrain him, enraging Jiang Xuening’s father. Xie Wei planned to transfer Yan Lin’s father out of Huangzhou. With Duke Xue possibly plotting rebellion, he had no choice but to provoke things.

Lü Xian noticed something was off with Xie Wei’s mood—he didn’t expect that Xie Wei had kissed Jiang Xuening the night before. But sadly, Jiang Xuening had no feelings for him. Jiang Xuening’s spirits improved, and her father immediately brought up the topic of marriage. However, Jiang Xuening had no one in mind and no desire to marry. She just wished to leave the capital and return home after Jiang Xuehui got married.

Jiang Xuening said she had offended many in the palace due to her recklessness. If she stayed, she would only bring disaster to the family. She pleaded for her father’s approval. He refused to let anything from Xie Wei into the house, leaving Xie Wei helpless. Tomorrow would be Shen Jie’s wedding. Madam Meng called for Jiang Xuehui. Jiang Xuehui wore Wan Niang’s bracelet.

Over the years, Madam Meng had treated her like a daughter and had sewn her wedding gown by hand. Originally, she had hoped Jiang Xuehui would marry in that gown, but now she was to be the side consort of Prince Linzi, and the palace would provide her attire. The gown would be kept as a token of their mother-daughter bond. At Shen Jie’s wedding, both Xie Wei and Zhang Zhe were present.

The Empress Dowager had ordered that Jiang Xuehui and her attendants could only leave after the wedding ceremony. Starving, Jiang Xuehui suffered stomach pain, but Su Shangyi brought a meal box prepared by Jiang Xuening and a love knot from Shen Jie. He feared getting too close would bring trouble to Jiang Xuehui, but his feelings had never changed.

At the banquet, Jiang Xuening’s father saw Xie Wei and immediately brought up choosing a husband for Jiang Xuening, even asking about Zhang Zhe. Xie Wei couldn’t help but interrupt, making her father even more furious. He had also brought Jiang Xuening, but she withdrew from the banquet to drink alone. In the past life, she had married Shen Jie in Jiang Xuehui’s place. Now, she felt a sense of melancholy.

Shen Jie suddenly appeared—Jiang Xuening thought that at least their fate was now settled. Shen Jie and Fang Miao completed their wedding rites. Jiang Xuening’s father was full of sorrow. Jiang Xuening left alone, with Xie Wei hurrying after her. Jiang Xuening suddenly said she no longer wanted to fight with the Xue family and planned to leave the capital, startling Xie Wei.
