Zhao Quan finally revealed the truth, leaving the He patriarch in a difficult position. However, when the patriarch subtly mentioned He Zhen's situation, he implied that with this relationship, the merchant guild would fully support the front lines with grain supplies. Zhao Quan realized the old man's intentions. Although he knew that He Zhen had no romantic interest in him, someone else would naturally decline the patriarch's proposal, so Zhao Quan did not refuse.

When He Zhen heard that her father wanted her to accompany the Marquis of Zhennan to deliver grain to the front lines, she was clearly unhappy, knowing that her father was trying to match them up. Despite her strong reluctance, her father's stern demeanor left her no choice but to comply.

To satisfy his personal interests, the He patriarch took the lead in rallying the merchant guild members, with everyone contributing money and effort to quickly load the grain onto the ships. According to the original plan, they were supposed to depart that day. He Zhen initially did not intend to go with Zhao Quan, but at that moment, her brother hurried over, ordering all the ships to halt their departure.

He secretly told He Zhen that the court intended to use the front line battle to eliminate a threat to the Empress Dowager, and they never planned for the soldiers to return victorious. With no proper allocation of supplies, the merchant guild should not get involved in this risky and potentially unprofitable venture. However, He Zhen, grateful for the Prince of Huaiyang's past life-saving grace, felt a strong sense of duty and insisted that the guild's ships set sail immediately.

Zhao Quan had He Zhen's brother silenced, and once the situation was under control, he advised He Zhen to return home and wait for news. However, to ensure the successful delivery of the supplies, He Zhen insisted on accompanying the grain convoy. As the soldiers prepared to go to the front lines, their wives and children cried and pleaded to follow.

At this time, Liu Miantang played a crucial role, calmly analyzing the situation for everyone and advising them not to cause worry for their husbands on the front lines. She assured them that as long as everyone worked together, they would ultimately defeat the invaders. After Liu Miantang's advice, the group calmed down and followed her lead, staying behind to wash clothes, mend garments, and be strong support for their men.

Zhao Quan led the convoy with He Zhen and the grain supplies. When night fell, they set up camp to rest. He Zhen noticed that despite his noble status, Zhao Quan did not behave like an aristocrat. He even administered acupuncture to soldiers who had caught a cold, which made He Zhen realize that Zhao Quan possessed some skills. By the campfire, to distract He Zhen from homesickness, Zhao Quan told ghost stories.

Although He Zhen tried hard to act unafraid, when Zhao Quan said he would continue the story, she was so scared that she ran back to her tent. Liu Miantang set up a camp for the soldiers' families at the rear. To help the elderly, sick, and disabled, she even used her own savings to open a pharmacy, treating those in need for free.

When she encountered impoverished families, she also distributed porridge and cloth, earning unanimous praise from the families at the rear. When the battle wasn't too intense, Cui Xingzhou would rush back to visit Liu Miantang. Seeing how well she managed things at the rear, he felt relieved. After a brief visit, he would return to the front lines. Even though the visits were short, Liu Miantang was content.

One day, three unfamiliar women arrived near Liu Miantang's pharmacy, seemingly arguing with the families. Liu Miantang went out to see what was happening and noticed that their attire was not local. One of the women was pregnant, and she claimed to have the deed to the land, demanding that they leave. The families, however, were unwilling to go; their husbands had fought to drive out these invaders, and now they harbored even more resentment towards the enemy's women.

Seeing the pregnant woman's severe abdominal pain, Liu Miantang called for the nanny to help her into the house and brewed a medicinal soup for her. After drinking the warm medicine, the woman felt much better. Liu Miantang offered her a place to stay for now. The woman introduced herself as Lin Siyue and vowed to repay the favor in the future.

On a cold and dewy night in the wilderness, Zhao Quan worried that He Zhen might be cold, so he specially warmed two flasks of wine and brought them to her. The successful transport of the grain was entirely due to He Zhen's support. Initially, He Zhen didn't pick up the wine cup, so Zhao Quan teased her, asking if she was afraid of being taken advantage of after drinking.

He Zhen then grabbed the cup and drank it in one gulp. However, within minutes, she felt dizzy and weak. She didn't know how much time had passed when she finally woke up, finding herself in a carriage. She was about to curse Zhao Quan but found only a coachman, who said they were on their way back and would soon arrive at Lingquan Town. Meanwhile, Zhao Quan continued escorting the grain to Jinjia Pass.

Cui Xingzhou wanted to tell Liu Miantang the truth to keep her from being too persistent. Just as Cui Xingzhou was about to speak, Zhao Quan arrived for dinner, causing Cui Xingzhou to swallow his words. Seeing Liu Miantang's clear eyes, Cui Xingzhou was unsure what might happen if she learned she had been deceived and used. As the military situation grew urgent, Cui Xingzhou took the drunken Zhao Quan back to camp.

In the camp, Cui Xingzhou confided in Zhao Quan, sharing that his mother frequently complained in her letters that his fiancée was threatening to take her own life at home. Everyone was worried and trying to comfort him. Cui Xingzhou could tell that this was all his aunt's doing. He knew that if he ever married his cousin, the whole family would interfere in his household affairs.
