Yang Jinglan stayed awake all night, watching as Ji Yingying woke up. Grandmother Yang arranged for the maids, including Jin Xiu, to serve them. Ji Yingying personally helped Yang Jinglan dress. Yang Jinglan told Ji Yingying not to mind the Yang family’s rules, saying the most important matter now was to rescue Ji Xu-shi. Ji Yingying went to the boatman again to gather information, as Yang Jinglan needed to rest at home. Zhuge Hong accompanied Ji Yingying.

The boatman was impatient, complaining about bloodstains soaking into the wooden deck that needed cleaning. Ji Yingying urged him to recall the events of that night. Reluctantly, and for the sake of money, the boatman revealed that Li Feng had stepped out for fresh air and that he vaguely heard an argument, but he didn’t witness Ji Xu-shi committing murder. Ji Yingying found incense ash on the boat and learned that the incense burner had disappeared after the incident.

Zhuge Hong presented the evidence, and Ji Yingying noticed that the stains on the clothing were not blood but dye. She began to suspect that Li Feng was the real murderer and that Magistrate Meng was deliberately avoiding a thorough investigation. Yang Jinglan pretended to act as a judge during a mock trial to help Ji Yingying organize her thoughts. Ji Yingying raised three points of suspicion, and Yang Jinglan assisted her in deducing logical evidence.

On the day of the trial, Ji Yingying presented evidence to Magistrate Meng for review, including the incense ash, which was found to contain traces of datura. Magistrate Meng dismissed it, claiming her words lacked proof. Following Yang Jinglan’s instructions, Zhuge Hong testified that the incense ash came from the boat and hinted that someone orchestrated the murder. Ji Yingying then produced the outer garment.

Although Magistrate Meng deliberately avoided clarifying the matter, the crowd saw that the garment bore a mix of dye and blood. Ji Yingying retraced the entire case and identified Li Feng as the real culprit. Li Feng denied it, accusing Ji Yingying of slandering him. Magistrate Meng, after glancing at Zhao Xiuyuan in the crowd, hastily moved to convict Ji Xu-shi. Ji Yingying countered by presenting a witness—the boatman—who testified that Li Feng was the murderer.

The boatman admitted he initially stayed silent to avoid trouble. Panicking, Li Feng confessed under pressure, claiming he was coerced by a man in black into committing the crime. He inadvertently revealed everything. Magistrate Meng was in a dilemma, torn between offending the Niu family and the Yang family. Learning that Zhao Xiuyuan had already left, he prioritized public opinion and finally convicted Li Feng, releasing Ji Xu-shi. Ji Yingying and her brother personally brought Ji Xu-shi home.

Ji Xu-shi, upon hearing that Ji Yingying had married into the Yang family, felt guilty for burdening her. However, Ji Yingying assured her that she didn’t feel wronged and confessed she had long admired Yang Jinglan. Ji Xu-shi accepted Yang Jinglan, blessed their union, and was genuinely happy for them. Ji Yingying suggested that Ji Xu-shi go to Jiangnan with her brother, but Ji Xu-shi suspected she wanted to face risks alone. Yang Jinglan personally visited Ji Xu-shi.

Ji Yingying, worried about his health, anxiously wanted to open the door, but Ji Xu-shi reminded her to remain composed. Ji Yaoting deliberately tested Yang Jinglan, who had no answers to his questions but promised to respect and care for Ji Yingying, allowing her to be herself. Ji Xu-shi was satisfied and apologized for almost disrupting their fate. She personally handed Ji Yingying over to Yang Jinglan.

Zhuge Hong delivered wedding gifts in the name of the Crown Prince, granting Ji Yingying much respect. Yang Jinglan, determined not to mistreat her, ensured no one would gossip about them. Yang Jinglan escorted Ji Yingying back to the Yang residence. Sitting together in the carriage, their hands accidentally brushed. As Yang Jinglan leaned in to kiss her, the carriage jolted, interrupting the moment. The two exchanged awkward glances, visibly embarrassed.

Yang Jinglan kept staring at Ji Yingying, who blushed and urged him to start a conversation. Yang Jinglan began talking about his relationship with the Crown Prince, revealing that both of them were disciples of Shen Jingguan. To uncover the truth behind Shen Jingguan’s death and expose the mastermind in Yizhou, he had personally requested this mission.
