The lord praised Su Ruofei’s performance endlessly and finally understood why his son was fond of her, but he did not make a decision on the spot about who should be appointed as the Grand Music Master. While Su Ruoshan was drinking with everyone, a maid intentionally spilled meat broth on Su Ruofei. Su Ruofei went to change her clothes and disappeared.

Yun Mu wanted to search for her, but Yun Shang grabbed him and wouldn’t let go, while Jin Shangyu and the others hurriedly went to search for Su Ruoshan. After Su Ruofei vanished, Yun Shang brought up the rumor, suggesting that the claim about Yun Mu being deaf was false. He proposed that they verify it on the spot by having the musicians play, asking Yun Mu to listen, using a screen as a barrier to block Su Ruoshan’s performance.

Su Ruoshan played *The Greenlight Melody*, but Yun Mu had no reaction. The lord and lady believed Yun Mu was just being playful and didn’t think he truly couldn’t hear. Meanwhile, Su Ruofei had been locked in a cellar and realized someone was targeting Yun Mu, which was why she had been confined.

Yun Mu remained silent until Yun Shang pressed further, then he revealed the name of the song, sarcastically remarking that the performer’s skill was far inferior to his mother's. Just as he finished speaking, Su Ruofei and the others arrived at the scene. Together, they managed to rescue Su Ruofei. Outside, Su Ruofei had heard the song and passed messages to Yun Mu using her bell, which allowed him to name the song.

This incident proved everything, and the lord immediately appointed Yun Mu as his Right Hand to assist him in managing state affairs. Everyone knelt in sincere reverence, except for Yun Shang, who stood off to the side, furious. The lord also commanded Yun Shang to assist Yun Mu from then on. Lady Yaoshan awarded Su Ruofei the title of the greatest musician in the land, appointing her as the Grand Music Master.

Su Ruoshan, on the other hand, received only a few silver and gold rewards, leaving her secretly furious at her failure. Su Ruofei made a special request, asking to amend some of the old rules, hoping that anyone with dreams and talent could join, not just those from the official music halls. She wanted private music halls to have the chance to perform as well so that the people of Dongsheng could benefit.

Yun Mu also spoke in support of Su Ruofei, and they eventually gained the lord’s approval. Huang Ying and the others had been waiting for Su Ruofei and Yun Shang to come out. Yun Shang was very grateful that they had rescued Su Ruofei. Huang Ying, who has a keen sense of smell for meat, had found Su Ruofei because the maid had spilled meat broth on her clothes.

After returning home, Su Ruoshan, humiliated by her rewards, furiously denied that she had lost to Su Ruofei. Determined to fight again, she began to provoke Yun Shang into killing Yun Mu, not wanting Yun Mu to admit defeat either. Yun Mu, though expressing his frustration, felt powerless. However, after Su Ruoshan’s persuasion, he eventually regained his resolve, deciding to gather soldiers and launch an attack.

Su Ruoshan believed it was the perfect time, as Yun Mu’s foundation was still weak, and if they sought reinforcements, they would likely be intercepted. Yun Shang promised Su Ruoshan that he could do it, and Su Ruoshan threw herself into Yun Mu’s arms, trusting that he would succeed. Su Ruoshan secretly arranged for people to disguise themselves as musicians from private music halls and infiltrate Fantasy Music Hall to participate in the upcoming celebration.

In reality, they were all Yun Mu’s men, and the boxes containing instruments were actually filled with explosives and weapons. Su Ruofei noticed some unfamiliar faces and questioned Su Ruoshan. Su Ruoshan lied, claiming they were from the private music halls but arrogantly challenged Su Ruofei to check for herself if she didn’t believe her.

Su Ruofei did not check and instead urged Su Ruoshan not to let their parents find out about the tension between them, hoping they could still feel proud of their eldest daughter as before. However, to Su Ruoshan, these words sounded insincere. Su Ruofei talked to Yun Mu about her feelings toward Su Ruoshan. Although Su Ruoshan had harmed her many times, she still couldn’t help but see her as her sister, believing that the love from before was genuine.

The two reminisced about their encounter in the woods, where, after seeing the green light, Yun Mu became deaf. But it was also because of the green light that they escaped the assassination attempt and Yun Mu could still hear Su Ruofei’s music. Perhaps it was fate, and they embraced and kissed, grateful for each other. That night, Su Ruoshan arranged for explosives to be planted under the music stage.

The next day, at Fantasy Music Hall, the lord and lady arrived and announced the abolition of old customs, declaring that from now on, anyone with talent, regardless of their background or appearance, could be admitted. Just as Su Ruofei was about to go on stage to perform, the lord and lady were surrounded by Yun Shang’s men.
