Jiang Zhi's unexpected arrival forced Yan Nanxing to close early. Jiang Xinbai was too willful, and no matter what, Jiang Zhi wanted to ensure his second marriage. He had offended many people by investigating the Zornia herb within the court, and if anything happened in the future, she wouldn't be able to protect him, so she needed Lord Pei's help.

However, Jiang Xinbai retorted that his father had also gotten into trouble and was exiled, and his marriage didn't save him! Hearing this, Jiang Zhi furiously slapped him, startling Yan Nanxing from a distance. Jiang Zhi left disappointed, and Jiang Xinbai's eyes reddened. Yan Nanxing approached to comfort him but couldn't find the right words. At Li Wufang's house, Nan Jifeng, disguised as a servant, secretly listened to Li Wufang. After being discovered, he sought out Yan Nanxing.

Yan Nanxing sent Tong Saier to summon him late at night, and the two finally met. Jiang Xinbai had been searching for him, not realizing he was hiding right under his nose. Yan Nanxing took in Nan Jifeng and warned Liu Ruoqian and Tong Saier to keep it a secret. Nan Jifeng spread rumors that he had fled to the southern six states to mislead others.

He didn't tell Jiang Xinbai because the monitoring room suspected Jiang Xinbai's involvement and sent people to He Man. However, he later realized it might have been the work of Lord Li and the Ministry of Personnel. Nan Jifeng wanted to meet the Emperor but couldn't find an opportunity. While undercover at the Li house, Jiang Xinbai had seen him but didn't recognize him.

Nan Jifeng wanted to see Shang Bieli, but Jiang Xinbai said Shang Bieli might be involved with the Zornia herb, though Nan Jifeng trusted him deeply, considering him a brother-in-arms. Yan Nanxing also advised Nan Jifeng to keep his identity hidden for now. Nan Jifeng wanted to stay at her place, but both Yan Nanxing and Jiang Xinbai refused. Yan Nanxing suggested that he stay at Yuejiang Palace, as Jiang Zhi would never betray Jiang Xinbai.

Upon arriving at Yuejiang Palace, Jiang Zhi agreed to keep Nan Jifeng safe. Jiang Xinbai told Jiang Zhi not to let Jiang Suoluo or Grandfather know, especially Jiang Suoluo, as she was friends with Shang Bieli. However, Jiang Suoluo was eavesdropping and burst in, angrily declaring that as Shang Bieli's friend, she wouldn't betray him and could distinguish between right and wrong. Mother and son soon reconciled, and Jiang Xinbai and Jiang Zhi made up quickly. Today was Gaya's birthday.

Nan Jifeng set up an altar to pay respects. Seeing this, Jiang Suoluo brought him two jars of good wine. While Nan Jifeng was drunk, Jiang Suoluo tried to probe about Jiang Xinbai's marriage in He Man. Nan Jifeng, unguarded, revealed everything, and Jiang Zhi overheard. Yan Nanxing and Jiang Xinbai knelt in the hall as Jiang Zhi scolded them and then drove everyone out except for Yan Nanxing.

Jiang Xinbai knew this was Jiang Suoluo's doing and argued with her outside. Jiang Zhi ordered Yan Nanxing to close Hua Xiangrong and leave the capital. Yan Nanxing resisted, and Jiang Xinbai rushed in to stop the situation, but Jiang Zhi didn't relent, saying she had a hundred ways to make Yan Nanxing close Hua Xiangrong and leave the capital. Jiang Zhi sent a group of men to cause trouble at Hua Xiangrong, forcing Yan Nanxing to comply.

Hearing this, Jiang Zhi was furious and had Jiang Suoluo handle the matter. Jiang Suoluo bought the building and Hua Xiangrong, demanding Yan Nanxing move out within a day. Although angry, Yan Nanxing could only curse a few times. Liu Ruoqian wrote three complaints to file, while Tong Saier wanted to sneak into Yuejiang Palace immediately. Yan Nanxing gave them money to sustain themselves for a while, promising to reopen Hua Xiangrong.

Jiang Xinbai rushed over upon hearing the news, urging her to stay at his place temporarily, promising to give her an explanation after this period. Days passed without any news from Yan Nanxing, making Jiang Zhi somewhat disappointed. Jiang Suoluo hoped Jiang Zhi would fulfill one request: to arrange a meeting between Shang Bieli and Nan Jifeng.

Nan Jifeng told Shang Bieli that Jiang Xinbai was not the one who killed Gaya and asked if he had indeed dealt with the Zornia herb. Shang Bieli was furious and said he would investigate if anyone in the Jinwu Guard was involved with the Zornia herb, but for now, Nan Jifeng had to go with him. Even though Hua Xiangrong was closed, Yan Nanxing continued to maintain her clientele.

Despite Jiang Xinbai's offer to support her, Yan Nanxing didn't take it seriously. Yao Qianshu reported that Shang Bieli had taken Nan Jifeng away, prompting Jiang Xinbai to visit the Hanlin Department at night. Worried, Yan Nanxing secretly followed him. Jiang Xinbai didn't understand why Jiang Suoluo was helping outsiders, while Jiang Suoluo claimed she was worried Yan Nanxing would badmouth Yuejiang Palace. But to Jiang Xinbai, he could trust Yan Nanxing unconditionally.

Jiang Xinbai and Jiang Suoluo had a big argument, leaving Jiang Xinbai deeply disappointed in her.
