Du Yangxi observed Yan Zimei's eloquence and carefree personality, and he felt that Yan Zimei might be a good person to befriend. However, during the banquet, after becoming drunk, Yan Zimei suddenly revealed an old matter. He claimed that he had secretly pledged his life to Madam Li's daughter, but due to fate, their love had never been able to come to fruition.

Now that he had heard that Madam Li’s daughter, Shou Hua, had become a widow, he had come to Bianjing to seek her out, unaware that Du Yangxi had already become Shou Hua's second husband. Upon hearing this, Du Yangxi personally informed Chai An and Fan Lianghan, saying that he wanted a wife with whom he could grow old together, sharing life and death.

If Shou Hua had truly become involved with someone else or had transferred her affections, then she would not be the person he sought. Chai An and Fan Lianghan, hearing how deeply Du Yangxi felt about his wife, grew concerned that if they didn’t investigate thoroughly, things might end poorly. Meanwhile, Fu Hui and Kang Ning learned about Yan Zimei from their husbands and rushed to warn Shou Hua. However, Shou Hua remained calm and unapologetic.

She assured them that she was upright in her actions and had nothing to fear from Du Yangxi’s investigation. Afterward, the three sons-in-law formed an alliance and had Chai An’s servant, Deqing, follow Yan Zimei. They discovered that Yan Zimei was preparing a pair of gold armlets to gift to his old lover. Back at her residence, Shou Hua thought back to when she was young and had noticed a man spying on her from outside her door.

She suspected that this man might have been connected to Yan Zimei in some way. At this moment, Yang Yapo came to discuss the rough work of the maidservants with Shou Hua. Shou Hua didn’t suspect anything and didn’t mention Yan Zimei’s matter to Du Yangxi, which led Du Yangxi to become suspicious. Late at night, Du Yangxi noticed that Shou Hua was wearing a pair of armlets, which shocked him and planted the seeds of doubt in his heart.

The next morning, he couldn’t wait to stop Yang Yapo and question her. Yang Yapo, who had come to report on the search for servants, deliberately dropped a handkerchief in front of Du Yangxi. The handkerchief was identical to the one Yan Zimei had shown earlier, and it was embroidered with a poem about the "gold armlets. "Du Yangxi saw this and was furious.

He stormed into Shou Hua’s room, threw ink on her artwork, ripped her clothes, and even threatened to divorce her. Chun Lai, who had been outside, was terrified and ran back to the Li family to inform them. Madam Li was enraged that her daughter had been wronged and immediately wanted to confront Du Yangxi. However, after a moment’s thought, she realized that if they truly broke off the relationship, the families might never reconcile.

By nightfall, Du Yangxi personally went to Madam Li’s house to announce his intention to divorce Shou Hua. However, he was surrounded by Madam Li’s four daughters and the maidservants, who questioned him. Du Yangxi explained everything, but he refused to reveal the real reason for wanting to divorce, doing so only to spare Shou Hua’s dignity. Chai An did not believe Du Yangxi’s hasty decision and suspected that there might be something he was hiding.

Du Yangxi deliberately sent the naïve Fan Lianghan away and confided in Chai An that he and Shou Hua were pretending to play a trick. While Madam Li was away on business, Yang Yapo came again. Madam Li asked her directly why she was helping an outsider deceive her. Yang Yapo hurriedly spoke on Yan Zimei’s behalf, describing him as a sincere man who was trying to match Shou Hua with him and arranging for them to meet in secret.

On the day of the Grand Temple Fair at the Xian Guo Temple, Madam Li took her daughters to attend, leaving Shou Hua behind. Yan Zimei personally came to meet Shou Hua, using sweet words to try to win her over. Shou Hua pretended to agree and said she was willing to settle the engagement with Yan Zimei. Yan Zimei, delighted, revealed everything—how he had deceived Du Yangxi and made him believe that he had given Shou Hua the armlets.

At this moment, Madam Li ordered the coachman to turn the carriage around and head back. The sisters were puzzled, but they saw that Madam Li’s expression was grave, and they could tell that something was amiss. When Shou Hua learned that Yan Zimei was already married, she pretended to be angry and scolded him.

Yan Zimei explained that his wife was still in his hometown, and if Shou Hua followed him to his post, she would naturally become his wife. As soon as he finished speaking, Shou Hua threw a cup of tea at him. Du Yangxi, Chai An, and the others, who had been waiting behind the screen and outside, entered and each punched him in the face.

Everyone interrogated Yang Yapo, who then confessed everything, revealing the plot between her and Yan Zimei. It turned out that Du Yangxi had already suspected Yan Zimei’s scheme and had secretly teamed up with Shou Hua to trap him. Since this matter involved the reputation of the "Tan Hua" wife, they decided to punish Yan Zimei without reporting him to the authorities. Madam Li, knowing the full story, was pleased with the actions of her sons-in-law.

However, Chai An and Du Yangxi were furious at Fan Lianghan for betraying their alliance for the sake of his wife. The three sons-in-law argued fiercely at home, but luckily, each wife took her husband home. Kang Ning even ordered Chai An off the carriage, and he could only laugh bitterly in resignation.
