Yu Qi was eavesdropping on Jiang Shi and Zhen Hang’s conversation when Jiang Shi caught him. Feeling slightly awkward, Yu Qi was nevertheless pleased to hear that Jiang Shi had no romantic feelings for Zhen Hang. However, he was shocked to learn that the crabapple flowers Jiang Shi had gifted him for his housewarming had been returned. Suddenly, he realized that it was likely a mistake made by Long Dan.

Seizing the opportunity, Yu Qi took Jiang Shi’s hand, trying to draw them closer. He lied, saying the flowers were returned because he wanted Jiang Shi to check the soil, as it was a bit loose. Jiang Shi did not resist and let Yu Qi hold her hand.

Yu Qi admitted that he wasn’t actually taking a break today—his main purpose was to use the excuse of teaching Jiang Zhan horseback riding to ask Jiang Shi if she was facing any difficulties. He thought Jiang Shi’s belief in predicting the future through dreams was unrealistic, but Jiang Shi insisted her dreams felt very real.

Yu Qi believed that keeping Jiang Zhan locked up at home was not a solution; instead, it would only make Jiang Zhan more eager to sneak out. He suggested that they take turns following Jiang Zhan whenever he went out. Zhen Hang returned home and told his mother about Jiang Shi rejecting him. Upon hearing this, Madam Zhen felt it was a pity to give up on such a good girl and was unwilling to accept it.

Zhen Hang reassured his mother that he would not give up and would find a way to win Jiang Shi’s heart. That night, when Jiang Shi returned home, she enthusiastically tended to the crabapple flowers Yu Qi had brought back. As she worked, she unexpectedly found a rolled-up piece of paper hidden in the soil.

It turned out that when Long Dan delivered the flowers, he had intentionally placed a scroll inside, asking Yu Qi to write a poem before burying it in the soil. Upon reading the words on the scroll, Jiang Shi was deeply moved. Jiang Shi’s shop had been renovated, but no customers came to buy anything. Even when products were sold at half price, people still ignored them.

After some investigation, she discovered that an influential figure had spread word forbidding anyone from purchasing items from her store. Jiang Zhan wanted to ask his friends for help, but Jiang Shi firmly opposed the idea, believing that his so-called friends were useless. This led to a misunderstanding—Jiang Zhan thought his sister was looking down on him. While drinking alone, he ran into Zhang Sheng, one of his drinking buddies.

Zhang Sheng egged him on, urging him to do something astonishing to prove himself to Jiang Shi. Seeing that Jiang Zhan had taken the bait, Zhang Sheng rushed to find Ji Chongyi. It turned out that Ji Chongyi had orchestrated this entire scheme, using Zhang Sheng to manipulate Jiang Zhan.

Zhang Sheng then led Jiang Zhan to meet an important “client,” only to bring him straight to Cui Mingyue’s location, where Ji Chongyi and Cao Xingxing were also present on the boat. Cui Mingyue had three large jars of wine brought out and forced Jiang Zhan to drink them all, promising that if he finished, she would let Jiang Shi go. Realizing that Jiang Zhan was missing, Jiang Shi immediately sought out Yu Qi and searched for him everywhere.

Meanwhile, Cui Mingyue ordered her men to beat Jiang Zhan viciously. Her subordinates struck him with brutal force, even frightening Ji Chongyi and Cao Xingxing. Under the relentless abuse, Jiang Zhan eventually passed out. Seeing him lifeless, Cui Mingyue instructed her men to throw him into the river. Jiang Shi finally tracked down Cui Mingyue’s location and overheard the conversations, learning that her brother had been murdered. Overcome with grief and rage, she set the place on fire.

Yu Qi arrived just in time and found Jiang Shi. Guessing that she had set the fire, he proactively offered to testify on her behalf and arranged for them to stay together for the night. In the end, only Cui Mingyue and Ji Chongyi survived the fire. However, Cui Mingyue was left with permanent scars, and Ji Chongyi’s legs were beyond recovery.

At this moment, the Grand Princess sent people to fetch Ji Chongyi, but Qiao Niang, seeing through the Grand Princess’s intentions to use Ji Chongyi as a scapegoat, adamantly refused to let him go. The families of all the drowned children gathered by the river, searching for their loved ones, but there was still no sign of Jiang Zhan. Jiang Ancheng waited by the lake, anxiously hoping for news of his son.

As time passed with no updates, he became increasingly grief-stricken and remorseful, blaming himself for failing as a father. The entire household was devastated by their loss. Many people began pointing fingers at the Grand Princess, knowing that Cui Mingyue was responsible for their sons' deaths. Zhang Sheng’s father, who was a follower of Prince Qi, was heartbroken over his son’s unexplained death. Seeking justice, he turned to Prince Qi for help, hoping to file charges against the Grand Princess.
