Qin Shengyi didn’t question things earlier because she was worried she might say the wrong thing and disrupt Mudan’s plans. Mudan quickly corrected her, emphasizing that they were equal partners in business, and that she should ask directly if she had any doubts. In Qin Shengyi’s eyes, Mudan’s literacy and business skills suggested she must be the daughter of a wealthy family.

However, Mudan didn’t reveal much about her background and instead changed the subject, asking Qin Shengyi what she would do if money were no longer an issue in the future. Qin Shengyi didn’t know, so Mudan suggested she learn to read and write, so she could help with bookkeeping. Qin Shengyi readily agreed. Next door, the Jiang residence was filled with nightly revelry. Mudan was only worried that the precious “Qiongtai Yulu” plant wouldn’t get damaged in the chaos.

The following day, Mudan went to the Jiang residence and encountered an open warehouse event. Chuan Yu, a guard, explained that the officials queuing outside were there to offer gifts to replenish the Jiang residence’s storerooms. Among them was Sima Feng, who brought a massive piece of red coral. However, Chuan Yu dismissed his offering as lacking sincerity, stating that Jiang Zhangyang would not meet him.

Sima Feng insisted on an explanation, so Chuan Yu took him to the backyard, where an even larger and more exquisite piece of red coral—more than twice the size of his—stood. Sima Feng was so shocked that he nearly lost his footing. Inspector Yin lavished Jiang Zhangyang with compliments and presented him with a basket of priceless pearls, whimsically named “Magpie Eggs.

” In return, Jiang Zhangyang gifted him a cricket, known as the “Unbeaten General,” claiming it was a gift from the emperor. Mudan, curious, asked if the Jiang residence would host another warehouse event on the fifteenth of next month.

Chuan Yu explained that the fifteenth marked the “Relocation Day,” which didn’t involve moving houses but rather transferring items within the storerooms—moving things from the left side to the right, and from the right to the back, to make space for more. He Weifang, ever shrewd, realized Jiang Zhangyang was deliberately creating the illusion of extravagance and indulgence to conceal something more important. However, she suspected Chuan Yu might be feeding her information to spread these rumors and mislead others.

When Jiang Zhangyang asked if she wasn’t curious about what he was truly hiding, Mudan quickly responded that she didn’t want to know. Jiang Zhangyang said no more and informed her that the Qiongtai Yulu plant was in the study. Meanwhile, Liu Zishu accompanied Princess Jia to Jia Erlang’s home for a drinking party.

Liu Zishu boasted about the refined and elegant painting he had gifted, only to find that Jia Erlang’s home was filled with works by Wu Hua Sheng, a renowned artist. Moreover, Jia Erlang’s father was close friends with Wu Hua Sheng and could easily invite him to create a live painting. Liu Zishu wanted to discuss canal management strategies with Jia Erlang, but as a member of an aristocratic family, Jia Erlang was only interested in indulging himself.

At Jia’s residence, two servants praised the clever woman selling dwarf peonies, marveling that she had made it possible for ordinary families to afford such flowers. Overhearing this, Liu Zishu wondered if the mysterious flower seller could be He Weifang. Feeling stifled by the extravagance of the gathering, Liu Zishu left early and instructed Qiushi to visit the flower market. Mudan, at the flower market, witnessed a con artist deliberately injure an old man’s donkey.

The scammer then demanded an exorbitant sum as compensation, claiming the donkey had startled him and caused him to drop a rare and expensive “Gunpowder Golden Peony. ” Using her wit, Mudan exposed the scam. The con artist fled with some money, while Mudan kept the potted peony. When Liu Zishu arrived at the market, he saw Qin Shengyi at the flower stall and realized she wasn’t He Weifang, leaving him disappointed.

However, fate soon brought him face-to-face with Mudan again. This time, Liu Zishu confessed his feelings to her. Mudan firmly declared that the only emotion she had left for him was hatred. He Weifang took the Gunpowder Golden Peony back home, intending to carefully nurture it until it bloomed so she could sell it at a high price. Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhangyang’s friend, San Lang, suddenly appeared and accidentally damaged the plant.

Mudan and San Lang signed a written agreement: if she could restore the peony and make it bloom, San Lang would pay whatever price she set. However, if the flower didn’t bloom, he would only compensate her at the price of an ordinary flower. Elsewhere, Wang Qing grew envious of Qin Shengyi’s thriving flower stall. He pretended to seek reconciliation, but Mudan arrived just in time to stop him.
