Liu Miantang personally packed her husband's luggage, carefully preparing gold, silver, and both thick and thin clothes. The two of them bid each other farewell with tears in their eyes, finding it difficult to part. Liu Miantang comforted Cui Xingzhou, urging him to return as soon as he finished his studies. She promised that she would continue managing the shop and wait for his return. Cui Xingzhou, worried that she might feel lonely, suggested that she visit her mother's home.

Even when it was time for him to leave, they found it hard to say goodbye. Cui Xingzhou knew that this might be the last time they saw each other, as he was about to get married and could no longer allow himself to let Liu Miantang down. He Zhen happened to be near Liu Miantang's home and was about to share her newfound peace of mind with her friend when she suddenly saw Liu Miantang bidding farewell to Cui Xingzhou.

He Zhen had met Cui Xingzhou in person and knew that he was the Prince of Huaiyang. She began to feel jealous of Liu Miantang, believing that she had been deceived by her from the very beginning. Upon returning to the prince's residence, Cui Xingzhou's future in-laws congratulated him and made arrangements for the wedding preparations. Cui Xingzhou felt bitter, as he didn't like his cousin, yet was forced to marry her and face a long life together.

Everyone noticed Cui Xingzhou's melancholy and mistakenly thought he was missing his fiancée. Shi Xueji happened to encounter Lu Wen on the street. Lu Wen noticed that all the items she had purchased were for her sister, with nothing for herself. Feeling pity, he accompanied Shi Xueji for a while. When he saw her lingering gaze at a pastry shop, he asked if she liked sweets.

Shi Xueji politely replied that her family had taught her not to indulge in snacks from small shops. However, Lu Wen happened to pick up a bundle that had fallen from Shi Xueji, revealing a few sweet pastries inside. He smiled and later ordered his servants to buy the most expensive fabric at the time as a gift for her. Shi Xueji was very impressed by him.

While the entire Huaiyang Prince’s residence was busy preparing for the wedding, the imperial uncle arrived at night to announce an imperial edict. The Empress Dowager appointed Cui Xingzhou as a general and ordered him to go to the border to fight within a month. The Empress Dowager had considered that if Cui Xingzhou refused the order, she would use the charge of treason to exterminate the entire Huaiyang Prince’s family, thus eliminating a major threat.

The imperial uncle specifically asked Cui Xingzhou if he accepted the edict, and Cui Xingzhou readily agreed. Lian Binglan's family also received the news. They guessed that the Empress Dowager intended to be ruthless, as the border was dangerous, and countless soldiers never returned. To secure a better future for Lian Binglan, her mother deliberately spread rumors that her daughter had contracted rubella and was gravely ill.

The Prince of Huaiyang's wife had originally wanted to hold the wedding before her son went to war, but the family members who went to investigate confirmed that Lian Binglan was indeed bedridden. Just a few days ago, Lian Binglan had been full of energy, greeting everyone, and now she was suddenly seriously ill. Cui Xingzhou naturally understood the truth behind this.

He told his mother that since the mountains were high and the waters far, they couldn't predict when he would return, so it was best not to affect his cousin's future. With that, he wrote a letter of divorce. The merchant guild also learned that the Prince of Huaiyang was recruiting soldiers and would soon go to the border to fight. They discussed the recruitment, noting that most would likely die in vain, causing fear among the people.

Liu Miantang overheard and couldn't help but worry that her husband might be drafted. Given his frail health, he had never even killed a chicken. When He Zhen heard of Liu Miantang's worries, she mocked her for being hypocritical before storming off angrily. Liu Miantang was very surprised by He Zhen's change in behavior.

Liu Miantang was deeply concerned about Cui Xingzhou and was urging the nanny to prepare luggage for her to go up the mountain and see him in person to ensure he was safe. The nanny strongly discouraged her. Just as Liu Miantang began to wonder why the nanny wasn’t worried, Cui Xingzhou returned home! Liu Miantang was overjoyed and, hearing that Cui Xingzhou was craving crab fried rice, she immediately went to make it.

Under the moonlight, they ate together and chatted, with Liu Miantang expressing her worries while Cui Xingzhou gently comforted her, telling her not to overthink things.
