According to the requirements of the sect leader, Mo Bufan had to report Yun Xiang's whereabouts to him every once in a while. This time, when Mo Bufan was writing the letter, he hesitated for a long time. Kang Qiao was puzzled. Normally, Mo Bufan was very prudent in his actions, so why did he hesitate repeatedly when writing to the sect leader? Mo Bufan felt that Yun Xiang was eager for revenge. He followed Yun Xiang to find the mastermind behind the scenes and found that the situation was very complicated. The person behind Tang Xiao was either an official in the court or a follower of Ling Yuan. He couldn't afford to offend people from either side. If he told the sect leader, it would definitely hinder Yun Xiang's plan. Mo Bufan felt sorry and decided to temporarily conceal Yun Xiang's movements from the sect leader.

In the morning, someone claiming to be from the Liansheng alley came to deliver the silver as a gift to Tang Xiao. Kang Qiao personally went to receive it, but strangely, this time it was whole boxes of silver ingots instead of silver notes. Kang Qiao asked why it wasn't silver notes, but the other side claimed they didn't have time to exchange and directly exchanged them for silver notes at the silver shop. The explanation seemed reasonable, so Kang Qiao accepted the silver and ordered it to be carried to the warehouse. On the way, he passed by Mo Bufan, who saw several servants carrying many boxes of silver and felt that something was wrong. He opened one of the boxes and saw "National Treasury" written on the bottom of the silver ingots. Mo Bufan was anxious, realizing that something big was about to happen!

As expected, someone reported that there were many soldiers outside. Mo Bufan immediately sent Kang Qiao to find Yun Xiang for help. As soon as Kang Qiao left, the soldiers took Mo Bufan and all his servants away. In court, the officials didn't even allow Mo Bufan to defend himself. He was beaten severely with a plank, and it was clear that someone had already arranged things with the officials in advance.

Yun Xiang was passing by Mo Bufan's bank in the early morning when he noticed that the door was sealed with a strip of paper. When he returned to Liansheng Lane, Kang Qiao immediately told Yun Xiang what had happened that morning. The most crucial witness now was Tang Xiao. In the morning, when Kang Qiao arrived, he had secretly entered Tang's mansion and took away Tang Xiao's body along with the bodies of several women from the dungeon. Yun Xiang agreed with Kang Qiao's plan, that if the officials investigated the case, they would likely conclude that Tang Xiao had framed Mo Bufan. To avoid being charged, they needed to find Tang Xiao. If Tang Xiao were found dead, it would be considered that Mo Bufan had killed him to cover up the crime. Yun Xiang told Tang Xiao to be calm and he would try to find a solution.

Shu Yanan saw Yun Xiang drinking from a wine pot and sensed that something was wrong. She advised him not to drink too much. The situation this time was beyond Yun Xiang's expectations. He couldn't decide who the real culprit was. He murmured that Shu Yanan was the only person he trusted by his side.

As soon as Yun Xiang left the room, Shu Yanan saw a familiar figure. It was someone from Ling Yuan's side. Shu Yanan secretly met with him. It turned out that Shu Yanan was the young lady of Ling Yuan. She came to Nan Du originally to catch the minions of the Night Owl. Unexpectedly, she met Yun Xiang and found out that he had a grudge to settle. Anyway, she could use him to reduce the power of the Night Owl. Shu Yanan decided to get close to Yun Xiang.

After a while, Su Huairou arrived. She first came to see Menglan and gave her the jade bracelet that had been passed down in the Su family, admitting that she was the daughter-in-law of the Su family. Then, in front of everyone, she gave the account book of the Su family's silk factory to Su Mingyu, asking him to take over the family's business in the future. Su Mingyu was very surprised by his sister's decision. He thought it was too sudden to give him the family business, but Su Huairou smiled and told him not to worry, she had already found a good teacher for him.

Su Huairou went to see Yun Xiang and told him a secret. Fifteen years ago, someone came to the Su family overnight and presented a clever plan to Su Huairou's father. They intentionally leaked the news that the court was going to close down maritime trade, and also brought a petition signed by over a hundred officials calling for the closure of maritime trade, which they showed to the Su family. The visitor had a distinguished identity and brought news of the sea closure. The Su family's patriarch naturally believed it, so the news quickly spread and soon after, official rumors of the sea closure were heard.

Yun Xiang listened to Su Huairou's explanation and he knew that there might be other motives behind the sea ban, but it could not prove that the massacre of 300 lives in Luo Jiazhuang had nothing to do with Su's family. Su Huairou came prepared and she brought two big gifts for Yun Xiang today. The first was to help Yun Xiang rescue Mr. Mo from Guanghui Village, and the second was to make Su Mingyu the leader of Nan Du.

Su Huairou intentionally sent away her younger brother and confided in Yun Xiang that she had transferred all of Su family's assets to her brother's name. Su Mingyu was young and lacked experience, and his strategic thinking and courage were inferior to others. Yun Xiang could help Su Mingyu manage the family business, but if he coveted the Su family's assets, he could take them over. Su Huairou came with sincerity, but Yun Xiang didn't understand how remote Luo's Manor was related to Ling Yuan. Su Huairou only knew this much and urged Yun Xiang to focus on the present situation, there might be a chance.

Su Huairou is leaving and she entrusted the Su family's industries to Su Mingyu and Menglan. Before leaving, she instructed Su Mingyu to be cautious in everything, and thanked Yun Xiang before leaving with Qian Rong from Nan Du. On the way, the sunset illuminated her sedan chair, and the afterglow shone on Su Huairou. She confessed that she used to enjoy watching the sunrise when she was young, but now she only likes the scenes after the sunset.
