Today, Yun Mu unexpectedly gave Su Ruofei two extra hours to rest. Su Ruofei found it hard to believe and worried that he might be up to something. Just then, she noticed the servants pushing a cart full of musical instruments that were about to be thrown away. Su Ruofei quickly stopped them and took the instruments back to her room. She was overjoyed, thinking Yun Mu was wasting valuable items.

In reality, Yun Mu was secretly watching this unfold; he had intentionally arranged for the instruments to be given to Su Ruofei. He remembered seeing her use random objects as instruments and decided to gift her real ones. He also ordered that she be given two hours of rest every day. Ling Lezheng gathered the new musicians and gave them a speech, announcing that one of them would be chosen as the new Grand Musician.

Su Ruoshan was excited, believing she had the best chance. Su Ruofei, frustrated with her handbell practice, thought that no matter how well she mastered it, all it did was produce different rhythms. She suspected Yun Mu was just trying to make things difficult for her. Xiao Qi came to check if Su Ruofei was practicing, but he quickly sensed that an assassin had infiltrated the area.

Su Ruofei snuck back to her room, relieved that an assassin had shown up, thinking no one would be able to keep an eye on her anymore. Just as she said this, a dagger was suddenly placed at her throat. Su Ruofei recognized the assailant as Huang Ying. Under Huang Ying's threat, she was forced to take her to see Jin Shangyu. Jin Shangyu, afraid of harming Su Ruofei, didn’t dare to run.

Huang Ying believed that Jin Shangyu used to like her, but now he was avoiding her. Jin Shangyu tried to persuade Huang Ying to leave quickly. Just then, Yun Mu and his men arrived on patrol and asked if there was anyone in Jin Shangyu’s room. From a single sound, Yun Mu instantly knew Su Ruofei was inside and entered the room without hesitation.

Su Ruofei hid under the bed but was pushed out by Huang Ying, who was also hiding there. Su Ruofei quickly lied, saying that she and Jin Shangyu were studying musical instruments, and even pulled out the pan flute Jin Shangyu had given her. However, she didn’t know how to play it and was about to give herself away, but Jin Shangyu took the flute and played it, covering for her.

Yun Mu pretended to understand and took Su Ruofei away. In truth, Yun Mu knew Huang Ying was still under the bed but spared Jin Shangyu the embarrassment by not exposing her. After they left, Yun Mu exposed Su Ruofei’s lie and demanded she explain everything from the beginning. Su Ruofei honestly recounted being captured by Huang Ying. Yun Mu warned Su Ruofei that if she didn’t practice seriously, her return to the music academy would be delayed.

At her current level, she would only embarrass him and be unworthy of the Grand Musician title, not to mention unfit to be taught by Lady Yaoshan. He angrily called her a piece of rotten wood that couldn’t be carved and pretended to throw her out. Su Ruofei, panicked, apologized and acknowledged her mistakes, even writing a formal letter of commitment.

Yun Mu added a condition: Su Ruofei was not allowed to visit Jin Shangyu at night, and she must refer to him as “sir” instead of calling him by name. Su Ruofei agreed not to visit Jin Shangyu at night but explained that it was Jin Shangyu himself who had asked her to call him by name, so she couldn’t change it. Yun Mu reluctantly agreed, satisfied that she wouldn’t visit Jin Shangyu at night.

He instructed Xiao Qi to carefully store the letter of commitment. Later, when Su Ruofei was about to sleep, she suddenly realized she had been tricked again. In retaliation, she played the suona loudly at Yun Mu, acting as if she were practicing diligently. Annoyed, Yun Mu pushed her out of the room. Su Ruofei decided she needed to steal back her letter of commitment first.

As Su Ruofei was in the middle of stealing the letter, Xiao Qi and Yun Mu entered the room, scaring her into hiding. Yun Mu intentionally told Xiao Qi that a thief had entered the room and that anyone who entered the study would be doomed. He sent Xiao Qi to investigate. As soon as Xiao Qi left, Yun Mu picked up the suona and started playing it near the spot where Su Ruoshan was hiding.

Startled, Su Ruoshan bolted from her hiding place, only to be blocked at the door by Xiao Qi. She realized too late that she had fallen into Yun Mu’s trap again. Yun Mu smugly held up the letter of commitment and reminded her to follow through with what she had promised. Early the next morning, Yun Shang brought Lord Huang to Yun Mu’s residence. Yun Mu deliberately had a large group of people attend to him.

Yun Shang scolded Yun Mu for neglecting important matters and only indulging in food, drink, and entertainment. After they left, Yun Shang reprimanded Lord Huang, saying that with all the women around Yun Mu, there was no way he could be a serious competitor, and it wasn’t worth gathering any information on him. Su Ruoshan came to see Yun Mu, but Yun Mu realized that someone had entered his residence to gather information.

He made an excuse to avoid seeing Su Ruoshan and instead pretended to be affectionate with Su Ruofei for the sake of their performance. Su Ruofei, eager to retrieve her letter of commitment, played along with Yun Mu, successfully fooling the spy. Waiting outside, Su Ruoshan, who didn’t get to see Yun Mu, tried to meet with Su Ruofei but heard from the servants that Su Ruofei seemed to be “busy” with Yun Mu. Disheartened, she left.
