Xiang Qiao had already received a lot of gifts, which made Yun Shuang quite jealous. Xue Fangfei just placed some fresh flowers in the courtyard. When Ji Shuran found out, she deliberately had Nanny Sun spread the word about the Jiang family's second daughter being extravagant and wasteful.

Shen Yurong also visited Jiang's father to express his gratitude. Ji Shuran sent the finest pastries to Shen Yurong and handed over the invitation for the coming-of-age ceremony next month. Just as Shen Yurong was about to leave, he caught a glimpse of Xue Fangfei's back, which seemed very similar to his wife's. However, by the time Xue Fangfei turned around, Shen Yurong had already left.

Xue Fangfei gave a jade bracelet to Xiang Qiao and asked her to look after the flowers in the house. She was trying to find out who had just visited. When she learned it was Shen Yurong, her hand shook, spilling the tea everywhere. To everyone else, Shen Yurong was a devoted man, now highly favored by the emperor. Tong Er, seeing the situation, quickly called Xiang Qiao out, and Xue Fangfei's tears began to flow uncontrollably.

That night, Xue Fangfei remembered the family feast she had thought she was attending. She had been unwilling to drink, but at Shen Yurong's mother's insistence, she had to. Little did she know the wine was drugged. When she woke up, an unfamiliar man lay on top of her, disheveled.

Initially, Xue Fangfei thought it was a trap set by Shen Yurong's mother and daughter, but she didn't expect that Shen Yurong knew all along and even buried her alive himself. Xue Fangfei's father and brother were implicated as well. But evil must be punished. Xue Fangfei vowed to attend the coming-of-age ceremony, inquiring about Jiang Li's ceremony.

Tong Er revealed there had been no proper ceremony. Xue Fangfei decided to restore Jiang Li's rightful status in the Jiang family. By appearing at the ceremony, she would solidify her identity as the legitimate daughter.

Xiang Qiao cut some chrysanthemums, and Tong Er deliberately took her to a sunny place to dry them, intending to send her away. Xiang Qiao continuously gave orders to Tong Er. When Jiang's father arrived, Xiang Qiao tried to impress him but ended up making things worse and got scolded.

Seeing the chrysanthemum wine, Jiang's father was reminded of Jiang Li's mother, who used to make chrysanthemum tea for him under a tree. He entered the courtyard and found it sparsely decorated with chrysanthemums. Tong Er took the two maids away.

Xue Fangfei deliberately asked her father to stay for tea, and when he touched her, she acted very frightened, telling him she was beaten whenever she didn't finish her work at the chastity hall. Xue Fangfei aimed to gain her father's sympathy and gave him a pair of embroidered insoles. When he returned to his room, he told Ji Shuran about it. Ji Shuran pretended to be very upset and sad.

Xue Fangfei expressed her fear of being seen by others, and Jiang's father decided to let her attend the coming-of-age ceremony. Ji Shuran didn't want Xue Fangfei to attend, but now that Jiang's father had spoken, she couldn't refuse. Yun Shuang and Xiang Qiao were harshly scolded.

Xiang Qiao quickly handed over the items Xue Fangfei had given her to Ji Shuran, but even so, Yun Shuang and Xiang Qiao became enemies, disliking each other. Xue Fangfei's appeal to Jiang's father resulted in her receiving many things from the household.

Someone deliberately threw a turtle on the ground, frightening Tong Er, who quickly ran over. On the roof beam stood a person, and Tong Er had told Xue Fangfei before, so she knew it was her second uncle's son, Xiao Rui Rui, a name given by Jiang Li.

Xiao Rui Rui recognized Xue Fangfei as Jiang Li. From Xiao Rui Rui, Xue Fangfei learned that Jiang Li had an engagement with Zhou Yanbang, but Jiang Ruoyao had intervened, preventing them from seeing each other for a long time.

Yun Shuang and Xiang Qiao always wanted to follow Xue Fangfei. Xue Fangfei deliberately bribed Yun Shuang with silver, but Xiang Qiao snatched it. On her way out, Xiang Qiao even tripped. Xue Fangfei went out to buy something, and Zhou Yanbang happened to come by.

He noticed chrysanthemum petals on Xue Fangfei's hair and quickly reminded her. Just then, Jiang Ruoyao came out and hugged Zhou Yanbang. Xue Fangfei asked Tong Er to help her redeem Jiang Ruoyao's belongings from the pawnshop and went to buy gifts for Jiang Ruoyao, seeing Shen Yurong's handwriting.

However, when Tong Er went to redeem the items, she was told that Xiao Heng had already bought them. Xue Fangfei decided to meet Xiao Heng and clearly stated she was there to retrieve the jade pendant, a memento from her mother that her father had entrusted to her before leaving.

She had to get it back. Years ago, when Shen Yurong was in poor health and had to take an exam, Xue Fangfei had reluctantly thrown away the jade pendant. Although Xue Fangfei didn't reveal her identity, Xiao Heng had long suspected that the current Jiang Li was not the real Jiang Li.

Xiao Heng used the jade pendant to threaten Xue Fangfei into revealing Young Master Qin's whereabouts, but Xue Fangfei said she didn't know. However, she remembered that when she was kidnapped by Young Master Qin, she saw dirt on his hands, suggesting he might be hiding in the backyard of the chastity hall.
