> Wise Woman Recap
The Rong family is very extensive, with a total of six branches. The eldest branch, the third branch, and the fourth branch reside in the Rong mansion, while the others have their own residences outside. The matriarch of the Rong family attributes today's reunion to the good fortune brought by Gong Waner. Xue Waner skillfully expresses gratitude to the matriarch while exchanging flirtatious glances with Rong Xiu. Xue Lingyi, witnessing the interaction between Rong Xiu and Xue Waner, becomes angry, especially upon hearing that Xue Waner plans to have the eldest grandson adopted into the general's family. It angers her even more that Rong Xiu and Xue Waner are plotting without informing her.
The Rong matriarch wants to say that Gong Waner is new to the mansion and doesn't understand things, but Gong Waner seizes the opportunity to explain that precisely because she is new and has no existing affiliations, she is competent for the position. The elders of the Rong family decide to entrust matters to Gong Waner. Rong Xiu is somewhat distrustful of Gong Waner, and Xue Lingyi sees Gong Waner pretending to be innocent, shifting all blame onto herself, and gaining Rong Xiu's favor. This angers Xue Lingyi, but she is left speechless.
Gong Waner continues to win people's hearts, temporarily gaining the cooperation of several senior ladies in the branches. However, a conflict arises between the senior ladies of the third and fourth branches over possessions, provoking the matriarch's anger. Xue Lingyi, seeing Gong Waner's schemes succeeding, feels pleased. The Rong matriarch believes that Gong Waner must still be calculating something, as otherwise, the branches wouldn't have fought so disgracefully. Gong Waner, however, pretends to be oblivious and innocent. The Rong matriarch thinks she may have misunderstood Gong Waner.
