Zhao Shen-shi deliberately provoked Zhao Xiuyuan, urging him to take Ji Yingying back from Yang Jinglan and make her fall in love with him again. Meanwhile, Cheng Fengze visited the Yu family and noticed the members of the Feihua Association were in high spirits. He learned that Manager Qian from Tubo was negotiating a business deal and had offered to pay three times the price to purchase the Liubo brocade.

Ji Yingying escorted Manager Qian out, and he gave Cheng Fengze a quick glance. Everyone was concerned about this order, but Ji Yingying explained that she had already turned it down. Sang Shisi and the others felt it was a shame and blamed Yu Shu for not stopping her. Yu Shu defended the decision, explaining that although the deal was attractive, the client demanded it be completed in a very short time.

If something went wrong, the Feihua Association wouldn’t be able to bear the massive compensation. Ji Yingying reassured them, saying that the association was developing steadily and there was no need to take unnecessary risks. Sang Shisi noticed the gloomy atmosphere and announced he would treat everyone to a meal at Sanhua Tower in five days. However, the others, still preoccupied with the canceled order, paid no attention to the upcoming gathering.

Cheng Fengze, curious about the date, asked about its significance, but Sang Shisi was too disheartened to explain. Ji Yingying learned that a guest had arrived at her home, only to discover it was her aunt. She and Ji Gui returned home and greeted her aunt loudly, only to be scolded for lacking proper manners. During the meal, her aunt criticized her speech and reminded her to follow etiquette.

Later, Ji Yingying overheard her aunt talking and realized her uncle, Li Feng, was once again trying to curry favor with the family. She felt he was insincere. Ji Yaoting defended their aunt, saying she had willingly helped their family during difficult times. Ji Xu-shi envied the fact that her sister-in-law's children were already married. The aunt brought gifts, giving Ji Yaoting a jade hairpin and Ji Yingying a belt, wishing they could pass them on to their future partners.

Summoning his courage, Ji Yaoting gave the jade hairpin to Yu Linglong and confessed his feelings, revealing that he had admired her for three years. However, Yu Linglong explained that she valued her freedom and didn’t want to endure another heartbreak. Disheartened, Ji Yaoting returned home. Ji Yingying, noticing his troubled expression, learned that Yu Linglong had rejected him. She believed Yu Linglong was protecting herself, but Ji Yaoting felt he hadn’t done enough.

Despite this, he vowed not to give up and to prove himself through his actions. Five days later, Sang Shisi had made arrangements, and everyone had gathered, presenting him with lanterns to celebrate his birthday. Cheng Fengze showed up uninvited but had sent an invitation in advance this time. He asked Ji Yingying if she considered him a friend. Ji Yingying plucked a flower petal and advised him to be sincere.

Zhao Xiuyuan offered Cheng Fengze a deal, proposing benefits in exchange for cooperation. Cheng Fengze suggested buying shares in the Zhao family’s brocade business and promised to help Zhao Xiuyuan win Ji Yingying’s favor. Meanwhile, Ji Yingying’s aunt observed her friends and warned her not to marry hastily. Ji Yingying dismissed her concerns, insisting she didn’t want her aunt speaking ill of her friends behind their backs.

She expressed her desire to achieve something meaningful rather than dwelling on romantic matters. Feeling hurt, her aunt accused her of being ungrateful and threatened to return home. Suddenly, someone arrived at the Ji residence, claiming that Li Feng had racked up gambling debts and that Ji Xu-shi needed to gather money, or else her daughter would be sold into servitude. Ji Xu-shi was panicked, unsure where to find the funds.

Ji Xu-shi suggested reporting the matter to the authorities, but her sister-in-law refused, fearing the scandal would ruin her daughter’s marriage prospects. She instead asked the Feihua Association for financial assistance. Faced with the dilemma, Ji Yingying decided to reconsider Manager Qian’s order. To her surprise, everyone actively helped with preparations. Ji Yingying asked Sang Shisi to investigate Manager Qian’s true identity. When they approached Sanhua Tower, they found Cheng Fengze waiting.

He offered to lend money to Ji Yingying to help her through the crisis, though she didn’t fully trust him. Ji Yingying tested Manager Qian and confirmed that he was indeed from Tubo. She then signed a deal to purchase a large quantity of raw silk. Ji Yaoting worried the plan was too risky, but Ji Yingying, determined to help her aunt, decided to take the gamble.

Meanwhile, Yang Jinglan investigated the Bai family and discovered that the Cangjin Pavilion housed both Shu brocade and Liubo brocade. Ning Dai, disguised as a thief, attempted to capture Yang Jinglan. However, Yang Jinglan had prepared for this and revealed that his companions would expose to the world that the Bai royal family was secretly hoarding Shu brocade.
