Hua Qian thought about the upcoming events and couldn't help but laugh. In the past, the two senior brothers would have competed for Mu Yao. But now, the story was deviating from the script as Zhong Xiwu didn't actively pursue Mu Yao. Instead, he invited Hua Qian to play a tune as well. Hua Qian vehemently refused, narrowly avoiding this situation. However, Zhong Xiwu persisted, curious about the birthday gift she had prepared for Zhong Yelan. In front of everyone's eyes, Hua Qian couldn't admit she had no gift, so she had to cook a bowl of longevity noodles herself.

Later in the night, Zhong Xiwu hadn't left yet and was having a conversation with Zhong Yelan in the courtyard. Zhong Xiwu mentioned that recently, there were people trying to gather information about the secrets of the Jia Yin Dream-Returning Elixir and the techniques used to make it. It made him uneasy. The Jia Yin Dream-Returning Elixir was always personally made by the two senior brothers and had never been seen by outsiders. It was a secret formula passed down in the Zhong family, so it was normal for people to be curious. Moreover, even the talented people from the Ge family, known for their forgery skills, couldn't replicate it.

Hua Qian sighed nearby, and Zhong Xiwu's expression changed, darkening suddenly. Then, he put on a smile again, asking Zhong Yelan to bring a map to study. Once Zhong Yelan left, Zhong Xiwu questioned Hua Qian about her true identity. Hua Qian pinched her hand and calmly explained that she was indeed Hua Qian. She gave a convincing explanation of the changes before and after her marriage, leaving no room for doubts. To make her explanation more persuasive, Hua Qian even talked quite affectionately about her relationship with Zhong Yelan.

Simultaneously, Zhong Yelan warned Mu Yao to be careful, suggesting she should hide her true intentions. If Zhong Xiwu found out her real identity, there would only be one outcome – expulsion from the city. Mu Yao was taken aback by this, not expecting that in Zhong Yelan's eyes, she was seen as someone who was attaching herself so casually. Zhong Yelan also seemed surprised and walked away without looking back.

When Zhong Yelan returned, he heard Hua Qian's confession. In the serene moonlight, his delighted expression was evident. Hua Qian turned to look at Zhong Yelan, blushing, and hurriedly went into the room, asking Qian Zhi to close the door. Early the next morning, Hua Qian quickly packed her things and returned to her parents' home. However, her sudden return caused a commotion as it was considered unfavorable for both the Zhong and Hua families. So, Hua Wenang insisted on her eating dinner and then returning immediately.

Hua Qian sat in front of the mirror, lost in thought about recent events. She couldn't understand why her parents were so concerned about her relationship with Zhong Yelan and why they were so afraid of discord between them. After this experience, she understood one thing: no matter what happened, it was better to rely on herself rather than on others. Sitting there all night, she decided to take charge of managing the household by looking into account books the next morning.

In another part of the story, Wu Shuomou, the young master of the Wu family, sneaked into Mu Yao's room with the intention of taking her away. They had met coincidentally in the past, and Wu Shuomou had sought refuge in Mu Yao's room to escape his pursuers. When he learned about the situation with the Mu family, Wu Shuomou decided to take her with him. However, before Mu Yao returned home, an arrow shot directly into his arm, causing him to lose consciousness, and he escaped through the window.

After settling Mu Yao, Zhong Yelan hurried to Hua Qian's room to check on her. The two of them hadn't seen each other for several days since the previous birthday banquet. Zhong Yelan had to express his thoughts. He first apologized for his earlier coldness and promised to treat her better in the future. After all, he had tarnished her reputation when he was drunk that time. Hua Qian wasn't sure how to explain the situation, as she was the one who had masterminded it in the first place, and it wasn't Zhong Yelan's fault. However, she couldn't reveal the truth at this moment.
