Ji Yingying suspected that Cheng Fengze’s arrival in Yizhou was no coincidence. On the surface, he seemed interested in business negotiations, but she believed she might uncover some clues. Yang Jinglan, feeling jealous, refused to trust Cheng Fengze and worried that Ji Yingying might get hurt. He warned her not to take unnecessary risks. Ji Yingying reassured him by holding his hand and telling him she would be careful. Grandmother Yang summoned Ji Yingying.

Ji Yingying thought she was going to be scolded, but unexpectedly, Grandmother Yang didn’t mind what had happened. She understood Ji Yingying had been wronged at the banquet and lamented the complex rules of the Yang family. However, she emphasized that this matter concerned the Yang family’s reputation, and Ji Yingying needed to contribute to the family.

Ji Yingying admitted that she was no longer the Feihua Guild’s leader and was frustrated about how to achieve something for the Yang family. Grandmother Yang handed over the management of Yang Jinglan’s shop to Ji Yingying, who was happy to accept the responsibility. Grandmother Yang reminded her to learn the rules and maintain good relationships within the family. Late at night, Yang Erye was drinking on the streets and cursing Ji Yingying.

Suddenly, someone appeared from behind and kidnapped him. When he arrived at a secret location, Yang Erye recognized Cheng Fengze as a foreign merchant and questioned why he had been kidnapped. Cheng Fengze proposed a partnership, offering to help Yang Erye seize the position of the Yang family head. Yang Erye initially wanted to leave but was tempted by Cheng Fengze’s words.

He feared Ji Yingying would take over the Yang family’s business and eventually agreed to cooperate by stealing the Yang family’s merchant list in Chang’an. Cheng Fengze handed the list to Zhao Xiuyuan, instructing him to travel to Chang’an to take over the Yang family’s business. He planned to make everyone purchase Zhao family silk, aiming to bankrupt the Yang family and leave Ji Yingying with no place to turn.

Zhao Xiuyuan imposed a condition: Cheng Fengze must purchase a large quantity of Yang family silk and transport it to Chang’an as leverage to acquire the Yang family business. Cheng Fengze found the condition excessive but agreed, provided Zhao Xiuyuan handed over the Zhao family’s exclusive silk designs. Zhao Xiuyuan began to suspect Cheng Fengze’s true identity, guessing that he intended to dominate Yizhou’s silk industry entirely. Yang Jinglan accompanied Ji Yingying to inspect the shop.

Shopkeeper Sun earnestly introduced the store, and Ji Yingying noticed the outdated silk designs. At that moment, Yang family weaver Liu Bo came to buy silk for his daughter’s wedding dress. Liu Bo tearfully explained that no one was willing to sell to him. Yang Jinglan gave him money and asked Shopkeeper Sun to help Liu Bo select quality silk.

This sparked a new idea for Ji Yingying—to use the outdated silk to create unique accessories that ordinary people could afford. The two went to Sanhua Tower for a meal. Yang Jinglan pretended to still be injured, hoping Ji Yingying would feed him, but Ji Yingying saw through his ploy. Yu Linglong brought fine wine and teased the pair about their affection for each other. Yang Jinglan wanted to have a drink, but Ji Yingying’s disapproving look stopped him.

Ji Yingying decided to acquire more leftover silk and planned to persuade Yang Jingshan and Yang Jinglin to sell it to her. Cheng Fengze quickly procured Sichuan silk, and Zhao Xiuyuan realized his wealth rivaled that of nations. Cheng Fengze gave him a jade pendant as a token to ensure someone would receive him in Chang’an. Zhao Xiuyuan handed over some of the Zhao family’s highly confidential design sketches, promising to give the rest after completing the mission in Chang’an.

He suspected Cheng Fengze had already bribed Yang Erye. Once Zhao Xiuyuan left, Cheng Fengze ordered his subordinates to steal the remaining Zhao family designs. One subordinate hesitated and suggested abandoning the plan, fearing discovery by Yang Jinglan. Ji Yingying shared her idea with Grandmother Yang, who acknowledged its risks but supported her. Yang Jinglan, concerned about Ji Yingying, offered to help her with embroidery. Yang Juxian deliberately passed by and entered to take a look.

Ji Yingying warmly welcomed him. Yang Juxian wanted to contribute and reassured Ji Yingying not to be afraid, as he, as the family head, had a say in matters. However, his words revealed his impatience to understand Yang Jinglan better, feeling unappreciated by him. Ji Yingying stepped in to ease the tension between them. Ji Yingying tried selling her products at the market, and Cheng Fengze showed up, buying one of her handmade pieces.

As more customers arrived, Yang Erye appeared with his men to cause trouble. He accused Ji Yingying of breaking family rules and insisted on taking her accessories. Ji Yingying cleverly responded, leaving Yang Erye speechless and unable to argue back.
