To mock Kang Yunhai, Yuan Mo and Shen Bailian gathered many foreign women to create a commotion at the entrance of Yule Hall. Kang Yunhai declared that he would interrogate them one by one and warned that anyone impersonating the princess would implicate their families. The women all fell to their knees begging for mercy. Kang Yunhai demanded that Yuan Mo apologize publicly, and Yuan Mo had no choice but to comply.
An Yuandao reprimanded Yu Deshui for allowing Yuan Mo to act so recklessly, which caused Kang Yunhai to lose his temper. Yu Deshui argued that it was thanks to Yuan Mo’s plan that Kang Yunhai was temporarily subdued. He suggested trying a different approach and using An Xiuyi’s idea to properly entertain A Shilan, neither confirming nor denying her identity.
If Yule Hall investigated further, A Shilan might serve as a balancing force or be blamed for impersonating the princess, which would be of no concern to Dayong. San Niang reported A Shilan’s situation to Kang Yunhai. The White-Clad Guest suddenly appeared and questioned Kang Yunhai about why the plan had failed again and if the inside information had been uncovered. Kang Yunhai revealed Ma Zhiwen, who insisted he had only served the goddess and had not leaked any secrets.
The White-Clad Guest did not listen to the explanation and immediately killed Ma Zhiwen. After A Shilan moved into a luxurious mansion, A Shu boldly moved back into Yuan Mo’s home. Wang Kunwu brought wild pigeons to Yuan Mo’s house to celebrate. After preparing pigeon soup, Wang Kunwu planned to use it to nourish the recently awakened Yuchi Hua. He carried the pot of soup to Yuchi Hua’s residence, and An Xiuyi did the same.
They both ended up being invited inside, only to find a young man, Huo Zian, feeding Yuchi Hua a premium snow lotus seed soup. Huo Zian was Yuchi Hua’s former classmate, from a wealthy family in Changle City that dealt in military supplies. As Huo Zian left, An Xiuyi escorted him out. Yuchi Hua expressed a desire to taste Wang Kunwu’s pigeon soup and praised his cooking skills.
When asked about Wang Kunwu’s confession of love during a moment of delirium, Wang Kunwu remembered Huo Zian’s background and status. He explained that he had been very busy at Sifang Hall and might have been dreaming. After leaving Yuchi Hua’s residence, Wang Kunwu saw the bright lanterns and umbrella shops on the street and suddenly remembered the night he had sheltered from the rain with Yuchi Hua. He regretted that his unfulfilled hopes for romance had to end there.
A Shu visited A Shilan and saw that A Shilan had woven many pieces of fabric, presumably to pass the time. Although A Shilan repeatedly said she had never enjoyed such a luxurious life, A Shu felt indebted and thought that A Shilan had suffered on her behalf. A Shu expressed a desire to ask her uncle to relieve A Shilan of her mission. A Shilan firmly opposed this, saying it would put her uncle in danger.
Yuan Mo took A Shu home and noticed that A Shu seemed worried. Yuan Mo expressed doubts about A Shilan’s motives, but A Shu insisted that Yuan Mo was overthinking and forbade any questioning of A Shilan. That night, the White-Clad Guest secretly appeared in A Shilan’s room. A Shilan assured him that she had fully gained A Shu’s trust and would proceed with the planned actions. The White-Clad Guest promised to fulfill his commitments.
The next morning, when Yuan Mo was preparing for his shift, A Shu, feeling unwell, stayed in bed. After giving some instructions, Yuan Mo went to Sifang Hall for work. A Shu hurriedly got up to retrieve a chess manual and then left. Honglu Temple increased its pressure on Sifang Hall. Yuan Mo and Wang Kunwu bought authentic Yule snacks to visit A Shilan.
During their visit, Yuan Mo suggested that A Shilan take A Shu to meet her uncle in the suburbs when she had time. A Shilan responded that she would arrange it once she was free from surveillance. After they left, Yuan Mo realized A Shilan had lied. A Shu had mentioned that her uncle lived in a bustling market, and A Shilan’s reaction to the suburbs was telling.
Yuan Mo rushed home to inform A Shu, only to find that A Shu was not at home and the chess manual was missing. Yuan Mo suddenly realized that the chess manual had been given to him by Kang Yunhai, revealing that Kang Yunhai was actually A Shu’s uncle. Yuan Mo and A Shu hurried to Yule Hall to find Kang Yunhai, only to be told by the guards that Kang Yunhai was out on business.
A Shu was being followed by the White-Clad Guest’s subordinates at the market. They met in an abandoned house, where A Shu asked to relieve A Shilan of her mission. Kang Yunhai explained that he did not know A Shilan and had not arranged any tasks for her. A Shu finally realized she had been deceived. The White-Clad Guest and his men surrounded the abandoned house. A Shu decided to protect Kang Yunhai’s escape.
