Recently, the Su family frequently visited Liu Miantang’s maternal family, expressing their interest in Qing Ying. Liu Miantang privately investigated and discovered that the Su family’s son was indeed a notorious playboy who had accrued a massive gambling debt at the casino. With no other options left, they thought of marrying Qing Ying to settle the debt with her substantial dowry. Liu Miantang mercilessly warned Mrs. Su not to entertain any more underhanded schemes. Frightened by Liu Miantang’s sternness, Mrs.

Su naturally dared not visit again. Liu Miantang’s second aunt was furious that the marriage arrangement was ruined by her, and she scolded Liu Miantang without holding back. However, Liu Miantang remained unfazed, treating her aunt with courtesy and addressing her as "Aunt" at every turn, leaving her aunt with nothing more to say. While Cui Xingzhou was held as a hostage at the Northern Zhou Prince's Mansion, he was placed under house arrest.

Despite being filled with longing, he continued to write diligently. Late at night, he noticed the spies planted by the prince still closely monitoring his every move, and he mockingly ridiculed the prince’s underhanded tactics. Nevertheless, the prince did not dare to act recklessly. Upon hearing that Cui Xingzhou had a cough, he even arranged for a physician to treat him.

The vassal prince of Northern Zhou finally arrived in the capital and, after meeting with the emperor, not only received rewards but was also promoted. Seeing the potential benefits, other vassal princes began to prepare to offer tribute as well. Upon his return to Northern Zhou, the emperor and the Grand Empress Dowager were greatly impressed by Cui Xingzhou’s role in this matter and decided to reward him.

Cui Xingzhou had always been concerned about the old injury on Liu Miantang’s wrist. Zhao Quan once mentioned a rare medicinal herb called "eagle bone flower," which had excellent healing properties but was extremely rare and hard to obtain, even for a hundred gold pieces. However, Cui Xingzhou was determined and eventually acquired it. He summoned Zhao Quan and instructed him to quickly turn the herb into an ointment and deliver it to Liu Miantang.

Knowing that Liu Miantang would likely refuse his goodwill, Cui Xingzhou implored Zhao Quan to make the trip on his behalf. When Liu Miantang saw Zhao Quan, she did not greet him kindly and even accused him of conspiring with Cui Xingzhou to deceive her while she had amnesia. Zhao Quan repeatedly apologized and presented the medicine as a gesture of sincerity. Liu Miantang believed him and asked how much it cost, saying she would reimburse the full amount.

Zhao Quan could only shake his head helplessly, realizing that Cui Xingzhou’s deep affection would likely be misunderstood once again. Before Zhao Quan left, Cui Xingzhou had instructed him not to mention his name, fearing that Liu Miantang would refuse the medicine, leaving Zhao Quan in a difficult position. Zhao Quan, being the Marquis of Zhen Nan, had visited Liu Miantang’s grandfather’s house, sparking a wave of gossip among the neighbors.

Soon, many matchmakers came calling, and before long, a suitable match was found, leading to a grand wedding for Qing Ying. When Cui Xingzhou heard the news of the Liu family daughter’s marriage from the Northern Zhou Prince's Mansion, he could no longer hold back. He seized the Northern Zhou Prince's precious horse and rushed to stop the wedding.

He boldly blocked the bridal sedan chair and asked Liu Miantang if she had truly decided to get married, offering to take her home if she had any feelings for him. Though his time under house arrest had left him looking haggard, his eyes remained resolute. Liu Miantang, watching from a distance, could not help but tear up. When Cui Xingzhou confirmed that the person in the sedan chair was not Liu Miantang, he finally allowed the procession to pass.

He thought he still had a chance, but a decree from the emperor soon arrived. The Grand Empress Dowager, in recognition of his meritorious service, had decreed that Princess Wu Hua be betrothed to him. With the imperial decree, refusal was not an option. Cui Xingzhou knelt to accept the decree, his hands trembling uncontrollably. Liu Miantang, upon hearing the contents of the decree, left in sorrow.

Returning to his residence, Cui Xingzhou personally wrote a letter to the emperor, expressing his hope that Liu Miantang could be granted to him. The emperor, upon reading the letter, flew into a rage, not only tearing the letter to pieces but also immediately issuing an order, promoting Liu Miantang to the rank of county magistrate with the title of Huaisang.
