Qin Feng, devastated by the loss of his wife, decided to leave everything behind and seek refuge in a temple, becoming a monk. After bidding farewell to Jiang Shi, he departed with a heavy heart. Meanwhile, although the case of Shan An Tang was solved, Jiang Shi still appeared troubled. News of Shan An Tang's scandal had spread widely, and many women who had previously sought treatment there were now being mistreated by their in-laws.

Zhen Hang tried to comfort Jiang Shi, but just as they were talking, Yu Qi, feeling jealous, deliberately interrupted them. The group continued their journey and happened to pass by Baiyun Temple. As Baiyun Temple was known to attract many visitors yearly for making wishes, Jiang Shi and Yu Qi also decided to take a look.

At the same time, Jiang Shi's elder sister, Jiang Yi, who was not favored by her in-laws due to only giving birth to a daughter, also came to Baiyun Temple to pray for blessings. To show her sincerity, Jiang Yi climbed the temple stairs on her knees, bowing step by step as she prayed. However, Madam Zhu continued to humiliate her with harsh words. Overwhelmed with sadness and frailty, Jiang Yi eventually fainted.

Seeing his wife collapse, Zhu Ziyu felt heartbroken and rushed up the steps to carry her down. At that moment, Jiang Shi happened to arrive and witnessed the scene. Seeing the Jiang family, Madam Zhu showed obvious disdain and immediately called her son away. On their way back to the Zhu residence, the carriage carrying Jiang Yi and Jiang Shi suddenly veered off toward another path at a fork in the road.

The group realized something was wrong and quickly turned to give chase. Strangely, the coachman suddenly jumped off the carriage midway. Yu Qi, riding on horseback, sprinted after the carriage. However, the horses were already galloping toward the cliff's edge. With no time to spare, Yu Qi quickly drew his sword and slashed the harness rope, separating the carriage from the horses. Still, the carriage's momentum pushed it dangerously close to the cliff.

Just then, Xie Yinlou, the captain of Linshui County's guards, appeared and joined Yu Qi in stopping the carriage, preventing a fatal accident. After getting off the carriage, Jiang Shi recognized Xie Yinlou as someone she had met before. Realizing the situation was suspicious, Jiang Shi deduced that Madam Zhu might have deliberately arranged for Jiang Yi to ride that specific carriage, intending to harm her sister. If not for their timely arrival, Jiang Yi could have lost her life.

Determined to uncover the truth, Yu Qi agreed to investigate the matter with Jiang Shi. Back in Lin'an, Jiang Zhan was practicing martial arts in the courtyard of the Jinwu Guard camp. Xiao Shi, hoping to curry favor with him, approached with a warm attitude, but Jiang Zhan completely ignored her. Meanwhile, Zhen Hang, after returning to Lin'an, remained downcast as his mind was filled with thoughts of Jiang Shi.

On the other hand, Madam Zhu, enraged that her plot had failed, ordered the immediate slaughter of the horse to destroy evidence. However, Jiang Shi arrived just in time to stop her. Determined to investigate, Yu Qi visited the carriage stable and discovered that the coachman was a recent hire, indicating that the plan had been prearranged.

While investigating the accident, Yu Qi also took the opportunity to visit Lord Chu to gather more evidence about the false accusation that had once been made against him. Jiang Shi planned to accompany Jiang Yi to the ancestral tombs for a memorial ceremony. Worried about Jiang Shi's safety, Yu Qi personally volunteered to drive the carriage. Unexpectedly, Zhu Ziyu also insisted on accompanying them.

On the way, Jiang Yi noticed how protective Yu Qi was toward Jiang Shi and began to inquire about their relationship. Embarrassed, Jiang Shi quickly denied any romantic involvement, insisting they were just friends. As they traveled through the countryside, they came across three men harassing a young woman named Qing'er, who had sold herself into servitude to afford her father's burial. Jiang Yi, moved by compassion, offered to take Qing'er in.

However, Jiang Shi was suspicious of Qing'er and insisted on buying her contract, setting her free. Despite being freed, Qing'er claimed she had nowhere else to go and begged Jiang Yi to take her in, even offering to surrender her contract of servitude. Seeing Qing'er's desperate plea, Jiang Yi softened and agreed to take her in. However, Jiang Shi's suspicions deepened, and Yu Qi quietly sent someone to investigate Qing'er's background. Surprisingly, the information collected matched perfectly with Qing'er's story.

Still uneasy, Jiang Shi began to observe Qing'er closely and soon noticed subtle interactions between Zhu Ziyu and Qing'er, suspecting that the two might have some connection. Jiang Shi also believed that Qing'er's true intention was to replace Jiang Yi as Zhu Ziyu's wife. That evening, Zhu Ziyu casually asked Jiang Yi about Xie Yinlou.

He mentioned that rumors had spread about Xie Yinlou having taken a liking to a girl from the Jiang family during his earlier stay, which was why he had remained unmarried all these years. Jiang Yi realized Zhu Ziyu was probing into her past and quickly clarified that Xie Yinlou had remained single due to the loss of his parents. As the flood season began, Jiang Yi planned to take Jiang Shi sightseeing around the city. However, their plans were interrupted when Madam Zhu suddenly summoned Jiang Yi.
