After Zhou Yanbang woke up with a head injury, he found himself unable to move. Jiang Yuanxing and his wife came to the Zhou family to take Jiang Yue home, but she insisted on staying to take care of Zhou Yanbang, thinking about becoming the matriarch of the Zhou family in the future. Jiang Yuanxing and his wife left sadly.

Jiang Yue stared at Zhou Yanbang, remembering how he had beaten her before, and smiled as she said she would stay and accompany him, keeping him alive. Madam Qi and her son came to the Jiang family to propose marriage, promising to hold a grand wedding for Jiang Ruoyao. Jiang Ruoyao dressed up and came to meet the Qi family. Young Master Qi immediately liked her, but Jiang Ruoyao treated him coldly.

Ji Shuran warmly organized the wedding plans, promising the Qi family to hold the ceremony soon. As the Qi family was about to leave, Jiang Ruoyao suddenly stood up and said she did not agree to the marriage. This incident reached Jiang Yuanbai, who blamed Jiang Ruoyao for embarrassing the Qi family and making Ji Shuran look bad. Jiang Ruoyao argued that she was right, dissatisfied with Ji Shuran's arrangements, and wanted to make her own decisions.

Ji Shuran was heartbroken, feeling that the good match she found was ruined by Jiang Ruoyao. Jiang Ruoyao felt wronged, believing that Ji Shuran had never considered her feelings and had controlled her all her life. Now she didn't want to continue like this. Jiang Yuanbai was angry with Jiang Ruoyao for contradicting Ji Shuran, but the old madam persuaded him to let it go.

After returning to her room, Ji Shuran angrily questioned Jiang Ruoyao, thinking her actions were influenced by Xue Fangfei. Jiang Ruoyao denied it, stating that Xue Fangfei was not as bad as Ji Shuran claimed and that she just wanted to live her own life. She planned to ask Jiang Yuanbai for permission to travel and study. Ji Shuran disagreed, and they argued. In a fit of anger, Ji Shuran slapped Jiang Ruoyao.

Jiang Ruoyao mentioned Jiang Yue's incident, accusing Ji Shuran of harming others for her own future. Madam Sun, sensing trouble, advised Jiang Ruoyao to apologize, but Jiang Ruoyao refused, leading to her being grounded by Ji Shuran. Xue Fangfei went to the Jiang family ancestral hall with Tong Er to visit Concubine Hu, finding her being bullied by the maids and living in extremely poor conditions.

Unable to tolerate it, Xue Fangfei scolded the maids and asked Tong Er to teach them a lesson. After the maids left, Xue Fangfei hoped that Concubine Hu would stop pretending to be crazy and share her story about Jiang Yue. Seeing Concubine Hu's distrust, Xue Fangfei recounted Jiang Li's miserable life in the Zhen Women's Hall, declaring that her return was to punish those who had harmed Jiang Li.

Concubine Hu finally spoke, revealing that Jiang Yue's death was no accident. She claimed that after Ji Shuran married into the Jiang family, she always felt something was off about her. Unexpectedly, during a children's playtime, Ji Shuran pushed Jiang Yue, causing her to hit a rockery and die instantly. She then instructed Madam Sun to cover it up as an accident. Her maid Dai Qin witnessed the incident. To save her life, Concubine Hu pretended to be mad.

Ji Shuran visited Ji Yanlin, who blamed her for not being ruthless enough and straining his relationship with the Qi family. Ji Shuran recalled being forced by Ji Yanlin to leave Liu Wencai and being told to marry a fool from the Marquis' family. To avoid this, Ji Yanlin coerced her into poisoning her good friend Ye Zhenzhen, taking her place in the Jiang family as the main wife.

Ji Yanlin begged for forgiveness, and Ji Shuran, feeling soft-hearted, went to the Taipu Temple to kneel and apologize to Liu Wencai on Ji Yanlin's behalf. Liu Wencai was ungrateful, intending to take this opportunity for revenge. He recounted his tale of survival, being saved by a Taoist priest and enduring various hardships before being recognized by Princess Wanning, which allowed him to enter the Taipu Temple and rise to the inner court. Xue'er found out the whereabouts of Hai Tang.

Xue Fangfei learned that Hai Tang's face had been scarred by a knife, recalling how Hai Tang had tried to rescue her when she was bound and locked in the Shen family's woodshed. Xue Fangfei had asked Hai Tang to deliver a message to Xue Zhao, after which she never heard from her again.

Ji Shuran instructed Madam Sun to drug Jiang Ruoyao, then pretended to be heartbroken in front of Jiang Yuanbai, claiming Jiang Ruoyao was possessed and hoping he would invite the Taipu Master to exorcise the evil spirits. The old madam, knowing the truth, did not intervene, wanting to see what would happen.

Jiang Jingrui, alarmed, rushed to tell Xue Fangfei about this. Xue Fangfei knew that Ji Shuran's real target was herself, so she prepared to confront the supposed evil spirit head-on.
