Ning Yuxuan remembered that Nie Sangyu liked flowers, so he arranged the yard early in the morning before sending someone to wake her up. At first, Nie Sangyu was unhappy about being woken up so early, but when she saw so many beautiful flowers, she couldn't help but feel happy and asked if Ning Yuxuan had prepared them for her.

Ning Yuxuan was embarrassed to admit it, so he pretended that the new steward had arranged them. However, Nie Sangyu noticed that all the flowers were ones she liked, so she didn't quite believe him and looked at him with meaningful eyes.

Quickly, Ning Yuxuan pointed at the meat on the table and asked Nie Sangyu to taste which one was closest to the Chen Family's taste. Nie Sangyu immediately understood that Ning Yuxuan had taken her words to heart when he remembered that she loved the meat cooked by the Chen Family's chef. She happily tasted the meat and found the right flavor, instructing Ning Yuxuan to use it for future reference.

After enjoying the food, Nie Sangyu remembered she had business to attend to at the Hao Xue Tang, so she quickly left but not before taking the meat with her, leaving Ning Yuxuan amused and happy.

Later, Qin Yixian sent a letter, and Ning Yuxuan asked Gui Bai to read it to him. However, the letter was full of lovey-dovey content and no useful information. Ning Yuxuan found it strange and asked Gui Bai about it, only to find out that Gui Bai had recently realized he had changed a lot and had confided in Qin Yixian about it. Before leaving, Gui Bai reminded Ning Yuxuan that the letter meant he was jealous. Although Ning Yuxuan was annoyed at Gui Bai's meddling, he still remembered his words.

Meanwhile, Nie Sangyu was daydreaming at the Hao Xue Tang when Mu Xu came to report that Ning Yuxuan had arrived. Ning Yuxuan claimed to be on official business and stopped by for a cup of tea, but Nie Sangyu only gave him a small cup. Thinking she was stingy, Ning Yuxuan was surprised when Nie Sangyu started rattling off various prices, paying twenty taels just in ship taxes alone.

Ning Yuxuan remembered that three years ago, he had personally approved a ship tax of two taels per ship. Suspecting something was fishy, he went with Nie Sangyu to investigate at the docks. To avoid alarming anyone, Nie Sangyu went alone to confront the ship owners about collecting twenty taels from her. However, they all said that the tax had always been twenty taels per ship and that they had not collected any extra money.

Secretary Liu was on the pier when he heard a commotion and went to see what was happening. He recognized Nie Sangyu and said that he only collected two taels of silver tax per boat. At that moment, Ning Yuxuan, dressed in official robes, appeared and ordered Gui Bai to seal the account book and investigate. This scared Secretary Liu and made him break out in a cold sweat.

Shen Liancheng's gambling house was closed down, causing him great anger and loss. He blamed Li Ming for not only disrupting his business but also failing to capture Nie Sangyu. Just then, Yuan Lang came to apologize and used two boxes of silver to appease Shen Liancheng's hatred towards him for saving Nie Sangyu.

Gui Bai discovered that although the account book recorded two taels of silver tax per boat, the actual amount was twenty taels. Ning Yuxuan asked Secretary Liu what was going on, but he couldn't explain and claimed that the extra silver was given to the Jiaolong Gang to fight the bandits.

Ning Yuxuan demanded that Secretary Liu take him to the Jiaolong Gang to verify the accounts. When they arrived, Shen Liancheng claimed that the silver was given directly to him on the pier and not recorded in the official accounts. Nie Sangyu immediately checked the accounts as a second-rank imperial edict holder and found that the Jiaolong Gang had only spent 800 taels on fighting bandits, with over 4,000 taels still unused.

Shen Liancheng was frantic, and he pulled out his sword, accusing Ning Yuxuan of breaking the rules. Ning Yuxuan challenged him, asking if he wanted to kill him. Shen Liancheng didn't have the courage to do so and watched as Ning Yuxuan left with the silver.

Yuan Lang joined the Jiaolong Gang and found Huang Han, a former member of the Tea Association, to help eliminate traitors and restore justice to the Tea Association.

Gui Bai discovered that Shen Liancheng's men were up to something and reported it to Ning Yuxuan. He ordered Gui Bai to keep an eye on those men, who were at the Shui Yan Ju. Nie Sangyu disguised herself as a man and went to the Shui Yan Ju, exposing the fake and inferior face cream of an unscrupulous merchant and gaining the favor of Shui Niangzi. She invited her to the Ting Shui Ge but found out that the two people there were intending to rob the returning sailors. They thought that Nie Sangyu had overheard their conversation and tried to kill her. Gui Bai, who had already noticed the two, intercepted them and caught the hidden weapon aimed at Shui Niangzi at a critical moment.
