Wang Kunwu asked Yu Deshui about the causes and consequences of the treason case involving Wei Yunqi. Soon after, Yuan Mo led a group of people to surround Jiang Guanjia and Hua Xiaoniang at the Ruyi Tower. Hua Xiaoniang claimed that she and Jiang Guanjia had been in their room all night and couldn’t have been in two places at once. Yuan Mo brought up the secret passage in the room and the wooden doll found there.

Jiang Guanjia quickly stepped forward to admit that he was responsible for assigning the rooms and that he used the secret passage in Hua Xiaoniang's room to kill Dou Chun. Yuan Mo poured a cup of fresh blood on the ground, causing Jiang Guanjia to start convulsing. Yuan Mo had discovered on the night that Cao Huo was murdered that Jiang Guanjia had a phobia of blood, which was further confirmed now.

Hua Xiaoniang finally broke her silence and admitted that she was the one who actually killed Dou Chun. That night, Dou Chun drank drugged wine and fell into a deep sleep. Hua Xiaoniang then used the secret passage to enter Dou Chun's room and kill him. Hua Xiaoniang admitted that she was the qin player at the Wei residence back then, and Jiang Guanjia was a servant there.

Wei Yunqi had discovered that Dou Chun was involved in a military equipment smuggling case, so he tried to obtain a list through Cao Huo. However, Dou Chun turned against him, tampered with the numbers, and falsely accused Wei Yunqi. Ultimately, Dou Chun killed Wei Yunqi before any report could be made. Originally planning to use Cao Huo to kill Dou Chun, Hua Xiaoniang was forced to implement the secret passage plan when Dou Chun struck first.

No matter what, she finally avenged General Wei. Jiang Guanjia and Hua Xiaoniang asked Yuan Mo to seek justice for the Wei family. Suddenly, Tan Lin arrived with soldiers, explaining that he had been monitoring the case for a long time and then took the two criminals away. During dinner that night, A Shu was upset because Yuan Mo was unwilling to overturn the Wei family’s case. Wang Kunwu also voiced his concerns.

Yuchi Hua was very displeased with Yuan Mo's attitude, so it was likely that they wouldn't receive the reward for solving the case. The next day, A Shu planned to go out with Yuchi Hua to go shopping. When Yuan Mo heard about this, he asked A Shu to help retrieve the reward money. A Shu used a little trick and managed to swindle a bag of silver from Yuan Mo. A Shu encountered Yuchi Hua at the West Market.

Yuchi Hua was still angry at Yuan Mo, so A Shu came up with an idea to help vent her anger. First, she had a large sum of reward money sent to Yuan Mo, an entire chest full of silver coins. Yuchi Hua didn’t allow the servants to help carry it, forcing Yuan Mo to move it inch by inch, exhausting himself completely. Yuchi Hua and A Shu laughed heartily after hearing from Steward Huang about Yuan Mo's miserable state.

When Yuan Mo returned home, he heard from Ji Mingli that Tan Lin had visited the house several times before Dou Chun's incident. Yuan Mo immediately took Wang Kunwu to visit Tan Lin. Tan Lin admitted that he had been a close friend of Wei Yunqi in the past and that he had written a letter exposing Dou Chun, which ultimately led to Wei Yunqi's death.

After Tan Lin voluntarily confessed, Wang Kunwu told Yuan Mo that he had a heart-to-heart conversation with Tan Lin, who strongly hoped that Yuan Mo would help overturn the Wei family’s case. The Honglu Temple awarded Sifang Hall’s West Courtyard with a certificate of merit, and symbolically gave a reason for commendation to the East Courtyard as well. An Xiuyi believed that the East Courtyard didn’t need to accept charity.

Wang Kunwu used the reward money to provide some extra funds for his brothers. Yu Deshui formally invited Yuan Mo to join Sifang Hall, but Yuan Mo was still haunted by the tragic deaths of his parents in the desert and was frustrated by the unjust outcomes of his efforts for justice. Therefore, he only believed in getting paid for his work. A Shu reminded Yuan Mo not to throw wine bottles on the bed. When she looked closer, she found that Yu Deshui had come to visit.
