Jiang Xuening’s pupils shrank at Lady Meng’s words. Her father quickly scolded Meng and advised Jiang Xuening to speak cautiously in the future. Jiang Xuening said nothing further and left. Looking at herself in the mirror, she remembered how in the previous life she had learned of Jiang Xuehui and Shen Jie’s encounter, then impersonated her to become empress, only to end up in ruin. Perhaps Lady Meng was right—maybe it was her personality that led to such an ending.

This time, Jiang Xuening clearly wanted to change, so why was everyone still pushing her toward the same path? Would Yan Lin and Zhang Zhe still meet the same fates? The Xue family extended their influence into the marquis’ manor, enraging Xie Wei. Only then did he remember that Zhou Yinzhi was the coachman who had entered the capital with Jiang Xuening years ago. Yan Lin brought Zhou Yinzhi to meet with his father.

Jiang Xuening’s expression darkened, and Zhou Yinzhi was clearly uneasy. After Yan Lin left midway, Zhou Yinzhi asked Jiang Xuening for advice. To him, this was a dead end—how could he escape? He had stopped looking for the marquis’s seal and notes, but the Xue family was pressing hard. Zhou Yinzhi tried to brush them off but stumbled upon a major secret: he found evidence belonging to Prince Pingnan in the Yan residence.

Zhou Yinzhi didn’t report it, knowing that even if things succeeded, he would be discarded. Jiang Xuening warned him not to leak the letter and to tell Yan Lin everything—he was old enough to face the truth. Xie Wei made a sudden visit, suggesting a barbecue picnic with Yan Lin. Though surprised, Yan Lin couldn’t refuse. Thus, Xie Wei, Jiang Xuening, Yan Lin, and Zhou Yinzhi sat together—a scene that made Jiang Xuening extremely anxious.

She couldn’t understand Xie Wei’s intentions. Zhou Yinzhi excused himself and slipped away. Jiang Xuening joked with Yan Lin, and Xie Wei scolded them. Furious, Jiang Xuening drank quite a bit. Xie Wei claimed he had business with Jiang Xuening’s father and volunteered to escort her home. He saw through her act, and Jiang Xuening quickly explained that she had nothing to do with Zhou Yinzhi’s actions and had already persuaded him.

Xie Wei warned her not to interfere again, or she’d be unable to protect herself. Jiang Xuening dared to ask about his relationship with Yan Lin—perhaps Xie Wei’s secret was related to the Yan family. Suddenly, an arrow struck their carriage. Xie Wei jumped out after identifying the shooter and had Jiang Xuening sent home. Following Jiang Xuening’s advice, Zhou Yinzhi confessed everything to Yan Lin, who immediately confronted his father.

Yan’s father revealed that Yan Lin’s cousin Xue Dingfei was not dead—he was in Prince Pingnan’s hands. The letter from Prince Pingnan confirmed it. Yan Lin was shocked, realizing this could shake the emperor’s trust. But the letter had fallen into their hands, becoming leverage. Xue Dingfei was the son of Yan’s father’s sister. On her deathbed, she had tried to speak but couldn’t.

To the world, Xue Dingfei died protecting the emperor, but in truth, a seven-year-old child had been sacrificed. Was that fair? Yan’s father decided it was time for Yan Lin to know everything. Xie Wei’s true identity was Xue Dingfei. He met alone with Gong Yicheng, Prince Pingnan’s strategist. Gong Yicheng had sent the assassins before and wouldn’t let Xie Wei return easily, but the capital was Xie Wei’s domain—he had no fear.

Meanwhile, Jiang Xuening heard Yan Lin was unwell and rushed to the marquis’ residence. Yan Lin was drunk in his room. He had believed that nothing in life could shake him, but had forgotten how unpredictable life could be. Now everyone knew about Jiang Xuening’s close relationship with him—if the Yan family fell, what would happen to her? Jiang Xuening was touched. Yan Lin didn’t ask how she knew; instead, he worried about her well-being.

Yan Lin understood no one could stay carefree forever. Jiang Xuening held his hand—they would weather this together. Yan Lin was still the vibrant young marquis. The Xue family’s silk boat capsized. For years, they had used the canal system to form private cliques. This couldn’t be exposed—they had to suppress the matter. Xie Wei understood that Prince Pingnan wanted to use the Xue family to eliminate the Yan family, making them too occupied to deal with others.

You Fangyin was learning business with Xu Wenying, who treated her well. She was doing it for Jiang Xuening. Just as You Fangyin left, Lü Xian came to buy silk from Xu Wenying, only to be frustrated that a girl had bought it all just the day before. Zhou Baoying and Fang Miao brought pastries to Jiang Xuening, but she didn’t like sweet snacks and seemed a bit gloomy.
