Cheng Fengze realized something was wrong, but before he could confront Ning Dai, he rushed back to the courtyard on horseback. Ning Dai, jealous of Ji Yingying, feared that Cheng Fengze would be ruined because of her. Du Yan, harboring resentment toward Ji Yingying, collaborated with Ning Dai to lure Cheng Fengze away and sent assassins to kill Ji Yingying.

Du Yan knew Ji Yingying was Cheng Fengze's weakness and planned to eliminate her while striking a blow at Cheng Fengze. The assassins broke into the courtyard, killing everyone they encountered. Ji Yingying hid in a water jar but was discovered, chased, and knocked to the ground. Cheng Fengze arrived just in time, locking Ji Yingying inside a room to face the assassins alone. Ji Yingying heard the sounds of fighting outside and tried to open the door but couldn't.

Cheng Fengze was injured and stabbed, and the assassins forced their way into the room. Ji Yingying cried out his name as Cheng Fengze, using his last bit of strength, apologized to her. Ning Dai and her men arrived and dealt with the assassins. Before dying, Cheng Fengze pleaded with Ning Dai to protect Ji Yingying and help her return home. Following Cheng Fengze's wishes, Chi Hu escorted the craftsmen back to Yizhou.

Ji Yingying erected a memorial tablet for Cheng Fengze and scattered flower seeds in the courtyard before leaving, hoping to bring peace to his spirit. Ning Dai, regretful of her actions, wept as she paid her respects to Cheng Fengze. Ji Yaoting and others delivered brocade garments to General Niu, with Yu Linglong insisting on accompanying him. They were blindfolded and taken to General Niu’s location.

After trying on the garments, General Niu claimed they were unsuitable and asked Yu Linglong to come closer for inspection. Knowing Yang Jinglan would come that night, General Niu decided to set a trap. Meanwhile, Yang Jinglan eliminated guards along the way, searching for General Niu’s hideout. When Ji Yaoting realized their plan had been discovered, he stopped hiding his intentions and accused General Niu of ruining Yizhou’s brocade industry, vowing to seek justice.

He threw oil onto the brocade garments and set them on fire, using the flames to signal Yang Jinglan. General Niu ordered his men to fire arrows, and Ji Yaoting was struck twice but managed to stand. Yu Linglong fought back but was struck by General Niu, coughing up blood. Yang Jinglan, seeing the firelight, arrived in time to stop the archers. General Niu, waiting for him, commanded his soldiers to kill Yang Jinglan.

Yang Jinglan and Yu Linglong fought the soldiers, persuading them to abandon their weapons to spare their families. The soldiers, seeking self-preservation, fled. Furious, General Niu berated them as useless and prepared to fight himself. Yang Jinglan vowed to seek justice for the deceased, leading to a fierce battle. Overpowered, Yang Jinglan was knocked down by General Niu. Yu Linglong fought alone but was fatally wounded. Seeing this, Ji Yaoting rushed to hold Yu Linglong in his arms.

She urged him to live well and promised to meet again when the flowers bloomed next year. With those words, she died with tears in her eyes, leaving Ji Yaoting to cry out in grief. Yang Jinglan, despite being gravely injured, fought General Niu with all his strength. Enraged, Ji Yaoting scattered flaming brocade to obscure General Niu’s vision, giving Yang Jinglan the chance to kill him.

Ji Yingying, traveling with the craftsmen, saw Yang Jinglan waiting for them at the bridge. Yizhou regained its peace. At the Brocade Bureau, Yang Jinglan paid his final respects to Shen Jingguan and Zhuge Hong before departing. Before leaving, he entrusted the Brocade Bureau guards to protect Yizhou’s prosperity. Yang Jinglan promised Ji Yingying a wedding and invited Gao Fang to attend. Gao Fang, preferring a life of freedom, left after gifting a jar of wine.

The Yang residence buzzed with excitement as Yang Jinglan tried on his wedding attire. Yang Juxian offered him a shop to manage, but Yang Jinglan, mentioning Ji Yingying, expressed his desire to resign from the Brocade Bureau and support her instead. Ji Yingying, while trying on her wedding dress, discussed business matters with Zhu Xiaoniang. Ji Yaoting brought a hairpin prepared in advance by Yu Linglong. Meanwhile, Chen Sanlang, awkward in expressing his feelings, showed interest in Mulan.

Jiang Liulang excitedly announced he would soon be a father, making Sang Shisi envious. Yang Jinglan arrived early, eager to marry Ji Yingying. Just then, news came that the Crown Prince had arrived. The Crown Prince issued an imperial decree, appointing Ji Yingying as the Lady of Silkworms and summoning her to the capital. The Crown Prince officiated their marriage, allowing the wedding to proceed on the same day.

After everything, Ji Yingying reflected on her journey, finally bringing justice to the brocade industry, avenging her father, and establishing a unique trade in brocade.
