After the imperial decree for the marriage was issued, Jiang Ancheng strongly opposed his daughter marrying Yu Qi. He was afraid that once she married into the imperial family, there would be no turning back, and he worried that she might suffer grievances. However, the entire Jiang family saw Jiang Shi's marriage to Yu Qi as a great honor and wholeheartedly supported it.

Upon hearing about the imperial decree, Cui Mingyue became despondent, realizing that once the decree was issued, Jiang Shi would officially become Princess Consort Yan, and she would never have the chance to marry Yu Qi in this lifetime. When Jiang Shi learned of her father's objections, she personally tried to persuade him, even expressing that she had feelings for Yu Qi.

Meanwhile, Yu Qi sat in the courtyard, contemplating everything Jiang Shi would need, while Longdan was busy tidying up and grumbling about how Yu Qi should hire more maids. The Yan Prince’s residence was too large, and cleaning it daily was an exhausting task. Jiang Ancheng hung up his late wife's portrait, eyes brimming with tears, as he confided in her about Jiang Shi’s upcoming marriage, reminiscing about their sweet moments together.

That night, while Jiang Shi was sleeping in her room, she suddenly coughed up blood. The next morning, A’Man reported Jiang Shi’s condition to Jiang Ancheng and the Jiang Matriarch, stating that her health had sharply declined after drinking the ginger soup sent by Madam Xiao. It turned out that the previous night, Nanny Li had drenched Jiang Shi with water, and Madam Xiao, feigning concern, had deliberately sent over a bowl of ginger soup.

Jiang Ancheng and Jiang Zhan angrily confronted Madam Xiao, demanding to know what kind of poison she had used. However, Madam Xiao vehemently denied any wrongdoing and, to prove her innocence, even drank the ginger soup herself. She then played the victim, seeking sympathy from the Jiang Matriarch, and took the opportunity to have A’Man arrested under false pretenses.

Although Jiang Ancheng and Jiang Zhan wanted to save A’Man, the Jiang Matriarch insisted on punishing her, believing that a mere maid had no right to slander her master. A physician was called to examine Jiang Shi, but he found no discernible illness. This made everyone recall how Jiang Shi’s mother had suffered from a similar unexplained condition, ultimately wasting away.

Madam Xiao falsely claimed that Jiang Shi had been born with this illness and even blamed A’Man for failing to care for her properly. Fearing that Jiang Shi was being framed, Jiang Zhan brought Lu Chuchu to watch over her, then went to find Yu Qi. Lu Chuchu meticulously inspected Jiang Shi’s room. When Jiang Shi felt unwell and tried to call for help, the household servants ignored her, and Nanny Li remained indifferent.

When Nanny Li mocked Lu Chuchu with biting sarcasm, Lu Chuchu drew a knife to intimidate her, forcing her to comply. Yu Qi arrived and was deeply alarmed by Jiang Shi’s condition. He wanted to summon an imperial physician, but Lu Chuchu warned him that the doctors sent so far were all incompetent and incapable of diagnosing the illness. At that moment, Yu Qi recalled his past vow to protect Jiang Shi.

Yet now, with her life hanging by a thread, he felt utterly helpless, filled with guilt. Just then, Jiang Shi woke up and realized that she had been poisoned. She urged Yu Qi to find Snake Addiction Grass immediately. Without hesitation, Yu Qi braved the stormy night, scaling a cliff to search for the herb. After Jiang Shi drank the medicine, her condition improved.

Yu Qi wanted to inform everyone of her recovery, but Jiang Shi suspected that Madam Xiao was behind the poisoning. To lure the culprit out, she decided to continue pretending to be gravely ill. Upon hearing that Yu Qi had found an antidote, Madam Xiao panicked and plotted to poison Jiang Shi again. She instructed Fangqin, Nanny Li’s niece, who served the Jiang Matriarch, to drug the Matriarch first.

Then, she led a group of people to Jiang Shi’s courtyard under the pretense of searching for a lost gold bracelet. Madam Xiao deliberately knocked over Jiang Shi’s medicine, but at that moment, Jiang Shi stepped out of her room. Once the truth was revealed, both Nanny Li and Fangqin were punished. The Jiang Matriarch rebuked Jiang Shi for using her own health to set a trap, causing unrest throughout the household.

Only then did Jiang Shi explain that she had been poisoned, not ill. Jiang Ancheng became even more furious and directly accused Madam Xiao, asking if she had used the same method to harm Jiang Shi’s mother years ago. The members of the main Jiang household were enraged upon learning this and condemned Madam Xiao, but she continued to deny everything.
