Cui Xingzhou, finding himself with nothing to do, instructed his subordinates to inquire about Liu Miantang's recent situation. When he heard that her maternal grandfather was preparing to sell the escort agency, he specifically ordered his subordinates to pay extra attention and report Liu Miantang's whereabouts to him daily. He even bribed the cooking granny who looked after Liu Miantang, instructing her to ask him if she couldn't find something Liu Miantang wanted to eat.

When he heard that Liu Miantang wanted to eat Wujiang vinegar, Cui Xingzhou personally had his servants search several places to find it and personally delivered it to the cooking granny. When Liu Miantang saw the familiar Wujiang vinegar, she became very suspicious. This product was only widely produced in Qingzhou, so she deliberately asked the cooking granny to make roast goose the next day.

Cui Xingzhou quickly received the news and, in order to provide Liu Miantang with the finest goose meat, specially had his subordinates borrow a black-maned goose from the Northern Zhou Prince's Mansion. That evening, Liu Miantang, her grandfather, and her aunt ate happily. Everyone marveled at the goose's firm and especially delicious meat, asking Liu Miantang if she had spent a lot to buy it.

The cooking granny was very surprised, saying it only cost a hundred coins, which even Liu Miantang’s grandfather couldn't believe. He had run escort businesses for decades and had seen all kinds of delicacies and rare beasts. This kind of item would surely cost several taels of silver.

Hearing that it only cost a mere hundred coins, her grandfather decided to go back the next day and buy another one, and Cui Xingzhou indeed went back to the Northern Zhou Prince's Mansion to "borrow" another. Liu Miantang personally went to see the person who sold the goose the previous day and immediately recognized him as one of Cui Xingzhou's shadow guards.

The guard was quite embarrassed, and Liu Miantang compensated the price difference for the goose and instructed the shadow guard to convey a message to Cui Xingzhou: since the two of them no longer had any relationship, it would be best not to bother her anymore. Liu Miantang secretly bought the escort agency. The silver she had saved up in the past finally came in handy.

Now that her aunt was eager to buy the agency to accumulate wealth, she simply decided that it was better to keep the wealth within the family. That evening, she told her grandfather that she had bought the escort agency. Her grandfather, although he admired Liu Miantang's courage and spirit, still felt that it was proper for a woman to marry early. When the shadow guard returned, he conveyed Liu Miantang's message.

Cui Xingzhou, unwilling to give up, found out the date of the escort agency's reopening and boldly walked into the agency. Liu Miantang, aware of Cui Xingzhou's intentions, deliberately referred to her cousin as her "husband" to make Cui Xingzhou back off. As a result, Cui Xingzhou was gloomy for several days, and whenever he heard words with the character "marry" in them, he would get a severe headache, scaring his guards into silence.

Cui Xingzhou secretly investigated Liu Miantang's so-called "husband" and, after discovering he was a fake, devised another plan. He went to the escort agency himself, claiming he needed an escort. The item to be escorted was none other than himself. As it was a business, Liu Miantang could not refuse a paying customer and agreed to ensure his safety. During the day, Cui Xingzhou wandered around the market with his little escorts.

When he saw a vendor selling candied hawthorns, he specifically bought a skewer and ordered Liu Miantang to hold it. This gesture was familiar to Liu Miantang, as Cui Xingzhou and she had shared a skewer of candied hawthorns together in Qingzhou. Liu Miantang made no effort to hide her disdain for Cui Xingzhou and reminded him that she was just an escort and had no obligation to listen to his idle chatter.

In the afternoon, on a whim, Cui Xingzhou rode out to the countryside with Liu Miantang protecting him by his side. The two of them rode until they reached the border. Cui Xingzhou asked Liu Miantang if she would agree to reconcile, but Liu Miantang rode past the boundary marker, indicating to Cui Xingzhou that not only were their identities now vastly different, but she was also free and unrestrained, bound by nothing.

Cui Xingzhou, however, had a mission and many concerns. Cui Xingzhou deliberately followed closely behind her, demonstrating that although he was a hostage, he feared no restraints and was determined to prove his resolve through action. The Northern Zhou Prince, upon hearing that Cui Xingzhou had crossed the border, was naturally frightened and immediately ordered his guards to apprehend him.

When Cui Xingzhou was brought back, he made no effort to hide his past with Liu Miantang, even claiming that Liu Miantang was his little wife from Qingzhou. The Northern Zhou Prince, of course, did not believe him. How could the esteemed King of Huaiyang be interested in an ordinary woman? Fearing that Cui Xingzhou might cross the border again, the Northern Zhou Prince placed him under house arrest in the prince's mansion.
