Jiang Shi came to the meeting, but to her surprise, the person she met was Du Er. The moment she saw him, Jiang Shi intended to leave, but Du Er grabbed her arm to stop her. Long Dan, who was secretly watching, saw Jiang Shi making contact with someone from the Nightingale Sect and became convinced that Jiang Shi was the Saintess of Nanwu. Without hesitation, he drew his bow and aimed an arrow at Jiang Shi.

At the same time, Du Er noticed Long Dan's movement, and when Jiang Shi turned around and saw Yu Qi on the other side aiming a bow at her, memories of her past life surged back. It was also Yu Qi who had shot her with an arrow in her previous life. Overwhelmed with sorrow, Jiang Shi froze.

However, just as Long Dan was about to release the arrow, Yu Qi grabbed the injured arrow from Long Dan, forbidding him from harming Jiang Shi. Seizing the opportunity, Du Er knocked Jiang Shi unconscious and carried her away. Seeing this, Yu Qi immediately chased after them and instructed Long Dan to return to the Capital Command to summon reinforcements. When Jiang Shi woke up, she found herself alone with Du Er.

Du Er voluntarily revealed his surname was Du, hoping to gain Jiang Shi's trust and make her confess her identity. However, Jiang Shi immediately guessed Du Er's true identity, which greatly surprised him. He had never expected Jiang Shi to figure it out so quickly. Not wanting Du Er to risk his life, Jiang Shi offered a plan to rescue Sang Qi, who had been captured.

Meanwhile, Yu Qi had also infiltrated the inner courtyard and was engaged in a fierce battle with the Nightingale Sect's guards, suffering injuries in the process. Du Er noticed Yu Qi's presence and quickly put a knife to Jiang Shi's neck, threatening Yu Qi to surrender. During the scuffle, Du Er attempted to shoot Yu Qi with a crossbow, but Jiang Shi took the opportunity to break free.

She used her hairpin to subdue Du Er without hurting him and even urged him to escape before it was too late. Yu Qi was deeply concerned about Jiang Shi’s well-being. As he tried to take her away, he inadvertently discovered a hidden box beneath the floorboards. The box bore the emblem of the Nightingale Sect. Soon after, the Capital Command raided the Nightingale Sect’s stronghold, arresting everyone inside, including the court official, Assistant Minister of Rites, Zhou Yi.

Yu Qi later questioned Jiang Shi about why she was meeting with Du Er. Jiang Shi hesitated, unwilling to reveal too much, merely stating that Du Er intercepted her letter, prompting the meeting. Mistakenly believing that Jiang Shi had arranged a meeting with another man, Yu Qi became furious with jealousy. Unable to contain his anger, he shouted at Jiang Shi.

Hurt by his misunderstanding, Jiang Shi angrily confessed that the person she truly wanted to meet was none other than Yu Qi. Hearing this, Yu Qi finally understood, and the tension between them eased. They embraced each other, their affection undeniable. Outside the window, A Man and Long Dan witnessed the heartfelt reunion. On the other side, due to Madam Xiao’s manipulations, Jiang Anmou was left with no choice but to agree to marry Jiang Qiao off to the Xiao family.

Despite Jiang Qiao kneeling and begging her father, Jiang Anmou remained resolute. Devastated, Jiang Qiao fell into despair, refusing to eat or drink. Seizing the moment, Madam Xiao brought Jiang Pei over, hoping to use sweet words to persuade Jiang Pei to comfort Jiang Qiao. However, Jiang Pei, having long seen through Madam Xiao’s deceit, refused to comply. Yet, Madam Xiao’s maid, Madam Li, persistently followed Jiang Pei around, trying to explain on Madam Xiao’s behalf.

Coincidentally, Jiang Qiao witnessed this scene and mistakenly believed that Jiang Pei had sided with Madam Xiao, causing her to grow distant and cold toward her sister. Meanwhile, Yu Qi and Jiang Shi opened the hidden box they found in the Nightingale Sect’s base. It turned out to contain a pile of contract papers. These contracts were gambling debts owed to Du Er’s casino. The people who owed large sums were coerced into completing certain tasks to clear their debts.

Among them was a contract signed by Zhou Yi, the Assistant Minister of Rites. Additionally, they found a letter written in the Nanwu language, detailing a plan to cause turmoil during the Mid-Autumn hunting event. This letter led Yu Qi to suspect that the Nightingale Sect planned to assassinate someone during the hunt. Jiang Shi, recalling the past life, remembered that it was during the Mid-Autumn hunting event when the emperor suddenly died.

In her previous life, the official news stated that the emperor died of illness, but the truth seemed far darker. Jiang Shi then recalled that during the hunt, there was a moment of "Heaven's Dog Devouring the Sun," which matched the date mentioned in the letter. Desperate to escape her arranged marriage, Jiang Qiao attempted to run away from home. However, Madam Xiao had already anticipated this move and had her servants keep a close watch.

As soon as Jiang Qiao tried to escape, she was caught and brought before the entire family. Madam Xiao also gathered everyone, including the Jiang Matriarch and the second branch, to expose Jiang Qiao’s "rebellious behavior. " When Jiang Qiao confessed to trying to run away, she also brought up the issue of the family seal. The Jiang Matriarch immediately recalled that on the day Madam Xiao visited her, the family seal had gone missing.

It suddenly dawned on her that Madam Xiao must have stolen it to seal the marriage agreement without consent. Realizing this, the Jiang Matriarch, in an attempt to remove herself from the dispute, transferred the household’s authority to the second branch and withdrew from the matter entirely.
