When Cao Weng was practicing, he noticed Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng had arrived. He closed his eyes and said the window was sealed, and he was willing to surrender to avoid making things difficult for the prefect. Su Wuming smiled and said Cao Weng was being too modest. If he truly wanted to escape, how could such guards stop him?

He further pointed out that Cao Weng pleaded guilty without knowing the truth, fearing this would let the real culprit go free. Cao Xiaoxiao insisted that she did not kill anyone. Su Wuming gazed at Cao Weng, feeling his inner remorse and helplessness, knowing deeply that although his children had erred, it was all out of a desire to protect their father.

Cao Weng gave a bitter smile, stating that he was not a muddled person and had long suspected Duobao was not his biological son. However, because of his purity and kindness, which strongly resembled his long-deceased eldest son, he felt love and pity for him. Lu Lingfeng felt puzzled upon hearing this.

Cao Weng continued to recount past events: he and Situ Mei fell in love at first sight, promising to grow old together, and the following year, they welcomed their beloved son. However, fate played tricks; his wife and son passed away one after another, leaving him alone to this day. Cao Weng revealed that he had once dreamed of his eldest son, who told him that Duobao was actually his reincarnation, simple in character, and most similar to himself.

Therefore, he could never bring himself to harm Duobao. Su Wuming added that although Cao Xiaoxiao had once intended to kill Duobao, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to do it at the crucial moment, revealing her inner struggle and conflict. Upon hearing this, Cao Weng's eyes snapped open, a mixture of anger and confusion. He desperately wanted to know the real murderer of Duobao. Xue Huan, standing by, secretly admired him.

Although his master's strategy didn't directly reveal the real culprit, it was still extraordinary. Fei Jishi was having a terrible headache. His carefully designed plan seemed not to have worked; the case had become even more convoluted, as if it had returned to the starting point. He thought to himself, even Di Gong's two highly skilled disciples found it tricky; this case was indeed difficult.

At this moment, Lu Lingfeng suddenly remembered Saisai had mentioned Di Gong's authority and his disciples' extraordinary abilities. He exchanged a smile with Su Wuming; it seemed both had simultaneously thought of some crucial clue. Seeing this, Fei Jishi was full of doubt. He saw Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng looking solemn, seemingly communicating without words.

On the other side, everyone speculated that the secret between Cao Yin and Li Chi was accidentally learned by the child, unaware that Su Wuming and Lu Lingfeng had quietly arrived. Lu Lingfeng arranged for Pei Xijun to accompany Saisai as a precaution against the unexpected. Afterwards, everyone searched for Li Chi. They saw him looking triumphant and confidently declaring that he had not broken the law and was about to be released.

Fei Jishi revealed the news of Cao Yin's pregnancy at the right time, causing an uproar. Su Wuming went deep into the place where Li Chi handled cases and unexpectedly discovered the poison used in the crime. The case seemed to have taken a turn. The prefect immediately held court to hear the case, and Li Chi showed fear on his face. Unexpectedly, Cao Yin actually confessed her husband's crime in court, adding a new variable to the case.

Su Wuming cleverly guided Cao Weng, letting Cao Yin learn the truth that Li Chi was keeping a wife and concubines outside. Besides being shocked, Cao Yin felt even more heartbroken and disappointed. She had thought everything her husband did was for the child, never expecting it was for greed of the Cao family's property. She had originally planned to hide the truth for the sake of the child, but she didn't expect Li Chi to be so ruthless.

He Keke's kind gesture unexpectedly allowed Su Wuming to uncover the truth about Li Chi swapping Duobao's food. Although Duobao had passed away, the records he left behind became the key to solving the case, revealing a miscarriage of justice that Li Chi had wrongly judged, leaving the prefect full of regret. Duobao's words foreshadowed that the Great Tang was gradually discarding old habits and moving towards openness. Cao Weng even led everyone, courageously breaking from convention.

Saisai, holding her uncle's dream, enthusiastically introduced the beauty of Dunhuang. Lu Lingfeng and Su Wuming and their group traveled west, and what they saw and heard was moving. Su Wuming had a premonition that Lu Lingfeng would face a difficult choice. Everyone decided to go to the capital together. Lu Lingfeng vowed to fight for the Great Tang dynasty. The capital was experiencing surging changes, and the princess was even more eager for her son's return, willing to do anything to protect him completely.
