Li Rong met with Shangguan Ya in the private room, while Pei Wenxuan was bandaging Li Rong's wound nearby. However, when Shangguan Ya suggested that Li Rong consider Su Rongqing, the atmosphere instantly became subtle. Pei Wenxuan, filled with jealousy, strongly refuted Shangguan Ya, but he became angry due to Li Rong's ambiguous attitude.

After Shangguan Ya left, Li Rong noticed Pei Wenxuan's unusual mood and felt a bit confused. Pei Wenxuan admitted that their marriage had complex reasons, but he did not want Li Rong to develop any relationship with Su Rongqing, believing she should live as she wished. To provoke Pei Wenxuan, Li Rong deliberately stated that she could develop feelings for Su Rongqing, leaving Pei Wenxuan speechless.

That evening, the two discussed the contents of the dossier. Although Li Rong did not directly express concern for Pei Wenxuan, she intentionally tried to ease his work pressure. All the testimonies needed to be copied, but the confessions and evidence were stored elsewhere. The only breakthrough came from the Censorate's supervising censor, "Wen Ping," who had received a letter accusing the Qin family of faking a defeat under Yang Ye's command.

Wen Ping, realizing the gravity of the matter, immediately transferred relevant official records from the Ministry of War and found suspicious points. Luo Juan was coerced into confessing by the Ministry of Justice, accusing the Qin family of treason, seemingly to cover up the truth. Li Rong thought it was absurd that they went to such lengths to buy the entire Qin family with a thousand taels of gold.

Thus, the primary task was to find the letter writer and the veterans who participated in the war, verify the authenticity of Yang Ye's letter, and trace the source of the thousand taels of gold. Li Rong instructed Xun Chuan to visit Luo Juan the next day for more clues. Meanwhile, Pei Wenxuan solemnly reminded Li Rong to avoid contact with Su Rongqing temporarily to prevent unnecessary entanglements.

Pei Wenxuan then personally visited Wen Ping, only to be given a hard time by the latter, forcing him to burn the midnight oil to handle the documents. His colleagues, seeing Pei Wenxuan working so hard, felt guilty and decided to stay and work with him. Pei Wenxuan frankly expressed that his greatest wish was for everyone to have a fair chance.

Su Rongqing often thought of Li Rong, which his brother Su Ronghua noticed and encouraged him to speak out bravely. That evening, when Pei Wenxuan returned home, he saw Li Rong sleeping on the couch, and a warm feeling surged in his heart. He suddenly realized that the sense of home he had sought for two lifetimes was like this, having someone waiting after a tiring day. Li Rong, half-awake, reminded Pei Wenxuan not to be angry because of Su Rongqing, but Pei Wenxuan knew he cared deeply for Li Rong and felt that his advantages compared to Su Rongqing were diminishing.

The next day, Su Ronghua arranged a competition with Shangguan Ya. Li Rong, wanting to meet Su Rongqing, dragged Pei Wenxuan to bet on leaves with Su Ronghua. Su Ronghua agreed to arrange a meeting between Li Rong and Su Rongqing at Mingyue Tower if he lost. Li Rong appreciated Pei Wenxuan's help, but Pei Wenxuan secretly hoped she would not go to the meeting.

At that moment, Tong Ye urgently reported to Pei Wenxuan that his wife was seriously ill, but it was actually the Pei family deliberately causing trouble. Pei Wenxuan quickly ordered Tong Ye to inform Li Rong to take people to the Pei residence. As Li Rong was preparing to meet Su Rongqing, Shangguan Ya reminded her to stay gentle to be more pleasing. Meanwhile, Su Ronghua accompanied Su Rongqing to buy a gift for Li Rong, ultimately choosing peonies.

On the other hand, Pei Wenxuan returned to the Pei residence to find his uncles gathered in the hall, and his mother looking troubled. The uncles accused Pei Wenxuan of inciting Li Rong to establish the Supervision Office. Pei Wenxuan firmly responded that if they had any complaints, they should address them directly to the Princess. Under family pressure, Pei's mother had to step forward and persuade Pei Wenxuan to advise the Princess not to interfere too much.

Due to Pei Wenxuan's insistence, the family subjected him to a baseless family law punishment. Originally planning to meet Su Rongqing, Li Rong, upon learning of Pei Wenxuan's plight, immediately led people to break into the Pei residence, giving Pei's uncles a slap in public. She sternly declared that the Pei family's current status was entirely due to Pei Wenxuan's father, and as her husband, no one should disrespect Pei Wenxuan.

Everyone present was intimidated by the Princess's aura and dared not retort. Li Rong sternly warned Pei's mother that if she could not protect her child and fulfill her maternal duties, she should not trouble Pei Wenxuan in the future. After saying this, Li Rong personally helped Pei Wenxuan out while ordering Xun Chuan to punish the servant who whipped Pei Wenxuan by cutting off his hand.
