Liu Miantang had always dreamed of crafting unique porcelain, and after much effort, she finally succeeded. Overjoyed, she immediately took her newly crafted porcelain to the trade association. However, He Erlang from the association made an excuse about being ill and refused to see her. Disheartened, Liu Miantang returned home, only to learn that Cui Xingzhou had received some accusations against her porcelain.

The accusations claimed that Liu Miantang was trying to take advantage of loopholes and was obstructing the trade route for the tribute. These accusations made Cui Xingzhou uneasy, as he was fully aware of Liu Miantang's actions and knew there was nothing improper about them. Angered, he dismissed the accusing official, telling him to investigate thoroughly before making any further complaints.

At home, Liu Miantang overheard the trade association members accusing her, and she angrily insisted that Cui Xingzhou arrange for her to meet the Prince of Huaiyang so she could explain the situation herself. This made Cui Xingzhou even more anxious. Given that he was only pretending to be her husband, taking Liu Miantang to the Prince's residence would only cause more trouble. Despite Cui Xingzhou’s repeated explanations, Liu Miantang remained determined to proceed with her plan.

Left with no other option, Cui Xingzhou reluctantly made arrangements, instructing his guards to tell Liu Miantang that he was in the military camp when they arrived. However, when Liu Miantang and Cui Xingzhou arrived at the Prince of Huaiyang’s residence, they saw dozens of trade association members kneeling at the gate. They were all petitioning the prince to punish the newly arrived Liu Miantang, accusing her of obstructing the royal merchants' route.

Seeing the large number of visitors, Liu Miantang realized it wouldn’t be wise to confront them directly. She ordered the bearers to turn back, deciding to visit another day. Liu Miantang didn’t sit idly by. First, she heard that a well-known association member surnamed Jia was fond of famous paintings. To win him over, she bought a painting called *Tong Qu Tu*. As expected, Mr. Jia admired the painting and negotiated with the previous buyer.

Using her persuasive skills, Liu Miantang quickly convinced Mr. Jia, discreetly allowing his ship to pass. Having benefited from Liu Miantang, Mr. Jia naturally began to support her. Other members of the trade association noticed that Mr. Jia’s ship had set off early and, unable to contain their impatience, proactively sought out Liu Miantang. This caused a complete breakdown of trust within the association.

The association’s leader had been recuperating from illness, but upon hearing about his son's misdeeds in the past few days, he became furious. He blamed his son for opposing Liu Miantang and ordered him to ensure that Liu Miantang was allowed to attend the next meeting. Liu Miantang dressed up and confidently went to the trade association meeting, bringing along her latest crafted pieces. The association's leaders were secretly impressed by what they saw.

As Liu Miantang was leaving, He Zhen caught up with her, congratulating her on achieving her goal and praising her excellent porcelain craftsmanship. He Erlang, feeling wronged by his father, ran to Liu Miantang’s house and started cursing at the door. Coincidentally, Cui Xingzhou was also home. He instructed the nanny to open the door, and after He Erlang entered the courtyard, the door was shut tightly. Cui Xingzhou bluntly reminded He Erlang not to cause trouble.

Never having met the prince, He Erlang naturally assumed that Cui Xingzhou was just Liu Miantang’s husband and spoke rudely. But when Cui Xingzhou twisted He Erlang’s arm, causing him to cry out in pain, and Liu Miantang showed no sign of backing down, He Erlang left in disgrace. Liu Miantang successfully joined the trade association, and her business flourished.

With more free time on her hands, Liu Miantang personally prepared a crab roe feast for Cui Xingzhou as a token of gratitude. Tasting Liu Miantang’s cooking for the first time, Cui Xingzhou couldn’t stop praising her. Liu Miantang had once told the nanny in the kitchen that crab roe rice was something one cooked for the person they held dear. It seemed that Liu Miantang had finally started to care for Cui Xingzhou.
