Wang Kunwu directly told Yuchi Hua that he also had feelings for her. However, since he had not yet avenged his great grievance, he could not focus on romantic matters. Yuchi Hua believed that seeking revenge on the white-clad stranger and developing their relationship were not mutually exclusive. She even offered to help capture the white-clad stranger.

Wang Kunwu suggested that Yuchi Hua should find someone who cared more about her than he did, rather than wasting her feelings on someone dangerous. An Xiuyi, who had been eavesdropping on their conversation, learned of Wang Kunwu's thoughts and asked Lin Susu to book the best terrace spot at Zui Xian Lou. The next morning, Yuchi Hua went to Wang Kunwu’s desk to clean it and reassured him to focus on capturing the white-clad stranger.

Despite her concern that he might die during his quest for revenge, she promised to ensure his safety. Wang Kunwu was both amused and exasperated. An Xiuyi presented an invitation to Zui Xian Lou. Yuchi Hua was preoccupied with eating, and An Xiuyi finally confessed his feelings. Yuchi Hua found it amusing; they had grown up together as close friends, and their relationship was not romantic.

An Xiuyi explained that they were well-matched in terms of social standing and positions, and there was no one more suitable. Yuchi Hua asked An Xiuyi to treat her as a lover and embrace and kiss her. An Xiuyi felt uncomfortable, and Yuchi Hua remarked that An Xiuyi was merely pretending to be mature and didn’t truly understand love. The white-clad stranger secretly infiltrated Yule Pavilion and informed Kang Yunhai that A Shu was the person Long Taqi was seeking.

Kang Yunhai did not believe him, recalling that a previous attempt to rescue Xiao E had been futile. The white-clad stranger revealed that he had received a confidential letter from Long Taqi, prompting Kang Yunhai to decide to investigate immediately. After breakfast, Yuan Mo and A Shu reluctantly went to work. A Shu planned to go shopping, but she was followed discreetly by Kang Yunhai’s subordinates, San Niang and Si Niang.

They passed by a shoe store where the shopkeeper’s wife accidentally spilled water on A Shu’s shoes. The shopkeeper’s wife was very enthusiastic and insisted on having A Shu choose a new pair of shoes. A Shu felt uncomfortable about having her shoes replaced by someone else, so the shopkeeper’s wife waited outside. While changing shoes, A Shu noticed a pair of smaller-sized shoes nearby and sensed something was off, as the shopkeeper’s wife was taller than her.

A Shu quickly found an excuse to leave, but the shopkeeper’s wife grabbed her arm and became serious. San Niang and Si Niang burst into the store, and both sides focused on A Shu. Yuan Mo suddenly arrived with officials to check the register, allowing A Shu to escape. In the evening, Yuan Mo prepared hot water for A Shu to wash her feet.

A Shu resisted, stating that a woman should not reveal her feet in front of a man. The next day, during an inspection, Yuan Mo returned to the shoe store to check the register. The shopkeeper’s wife had been replaced, and when asked about the previous day’s events, the new shopkeeper’s wife said the store had been closed.

Yuan Mo recalled the tall shopkeeper’s wife’s nervous demeanor and the sudden departure of Kang Yunhai’s subordinates, suspecting that both Yule Pavilion and the white-clad stranger were searching for A Shu. Yuan Mo shared his suspicions with Wang Kunwu. Given the coincidences, Wang Kunwu had no choice but to be suspicious but hoped to clarify things with someone from Yule Pavilion. Yuchi Hua mentioned that she had tracked Ma Zhiwen and had a discreet method to find out more.

Late at night, Ma Zhiwen visited a diviner's residence. Yuan Mo and Wang Kunwu had bribed the diviner in advance. Ma Zhiwen indeed inquired about A Shu’s identity and whether she was the princess of Yule Pavilion. The diviner suggested not to investigate A Shu further, warning that it would bring misfortune. Ma Zhiwen fully believed this and left all his money with the diviner to rid himself of bad luck.

After Ma Zhiwen left the diviner’s residence, Wang Kunwu asked Yuan Mo to continue watching for any red-butterfly tattoos on A Shu’s ankles. Yuan Mo suggested that they first ensure A Shu’s safety. Wang Kunwu felt it was necessary to report to Yu Deshui. Back home, Yuan Mo inquired about the red-butterfly tattoo. A Shu recounted the difficulties she faced fleeing to Dayong. As they drank and talked, Yuan Mo soon fell unconscious.

While Yuan Mo was unconscious, A Shu revealed that she was indeed the princess of Yule Pavilion and that the white-clad stranger had targeted her, so she could not stay at Yuan Mo’s home. Yu Deshui informed An Yuandao of A Shu’s identity, and An Yuandao insisted on ensuring A Shu’s safety to prevent Long Taqi from taking rash actions.
