> The Ingenious One Recap

Yun Xiang spent his days drowning his sorrows in alcohol. When he woke up one morning, he discovered that he had damaged a model, leaving him feeling frustrated and disappointed. Liu Gongquan heard rumors that the official escort had found Yun Xiang and was about to inquire about his whereabouts. However, Yun Xiang suddenly changed the subject and said that the Tang family's old estate had been unsealed, and he hoped to be put in charge of its disposal.

However, Liu Gongquan was skeptical of what Yun Xiang said, as he appeared drunk and incoherent. Princess Mingzhu stepped in and pretended to scold Yun Xiang, saying that he was acting like a drunkard despite being a member of Yun Tai. Yun Xiang understood what Princess Mingzhu meant and revealed that the official escort had been tied up in the eastern suburbs of Nan Du City, not far from Yun Port.

Yun Xiang then called on Su Mingyu and others to discuss the situation. Mo Bufan discovered that Yun Xiang's antics were all part of a scheme to gain control of the Tang family's assets. Su Mingyu praised Yun Xiang for being clever enough to plan ahead and counterattack against Tang Xiao in their earlier gambling match. The situation had only escalated due to government interference.

However, Su Mingyu and Mo Bufan were both members of the Chamber of Commerce. They feared that if they openly seized the Tang family's assets, they would invite criticism from the public. Yun Xiang proposed a solution, requiring Su Mingyu and Mo Bufan to work together to put on a show. Just then, Ke Menglan brought over a pot of sweet soup that she had personally cooked. Knowing that Yun Xiang was heartbroken, Mo Bufan purposely praised the soup's sweetness to make Yun Xiang uncomfortable.

Liu Gongquan captured and interrogated the officials who were transporting the goods, asking one of them to confess the truth of the case. The person claimed that they were ambushed and drugged, and when they woke up, they found that the official silver was missing. They had no choice but to join the pirates with their cargo. According to the officials, there was a toxic gas with a fishy smell on the day of the incident. Liu Gongquan suspected that it was Ling Yuan's Dragon Scale Fragrance.

Under Yun Xiang's plan, Su Mingyu held a meeting to list Tang Xiao's numerous crimes. She mentioned that he was missing and worried that his assets would be idle if they were not unsealed. Mo Bufan took the opportunity to propose accepting the Tang family business. Anyone interested could join him in purchasing the assets. Everyone thought it was a losing deal, but in the end, Mo Bufan and Su Mingyu teamed up to legally transfer the Tang family assets to Mo Bufan's name.

Through this incident, Mo Bufan thought that Su Mingyu had improved a lot. He had learned from Yun Xiang's essence: to be worldly-wise and hold virtuous thoughts. However, Mo Bufan had some suspicions about the Qian Men. He approached Yun Xiang and revealed that he was sent by his master to monitor Yun Xiang's movements. But because of their close relationship, he did not disclose the truth. Later, he never received any reply from Yun Tai, and he was afraid that the master had already discovered everything.

Moreover, Mo Bufan felt that Yun Tai was not the same as before. In the past, the court regarded Yun Tai as a big threat and chased and cleansed him all the way. But at that time, the previous heads of the Qian Men did not hide their true identities from their people. In contrast, now that the relationship between the court and the Qian Men has eased, the current head of the Qian Men is more secretive in his actions, which makes people uneasy. Mo Bufan suspected that Ling Yuan was not stealing the Qian Men's techniques but was secretly taught by someone from within the Qian Men, intentionally blurring the boundaries between the two schools. Yun Xiang seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Kou Yan knew that Kou Yuanjie wanted to become the leader of the sect and promised him that he could step down if he could get close to him within a few moves. Kou Yuanjie's martial arts skills were clearly no match for Kou Yan, and because she had made him lose face in front of Nan Gongfang, he harbored resentment and killed a confidant who had followed Kou Yan for many years for no reason.

At this time, Shu Yanan and Nan Gongfang were riding in the same carriage back to the capital. Through conversation, she learned that his target this time was to deal with the three most powerful families in the capital, which were the Su family, Guanghui Village, and Yun Tai Yun Xiang. Nan Gongfang deliberately inquired about Yun Xiang's style of doing things from Shu Yanan to analyze his next move. For the sake of the interests of the sect, Shu Yanan had no choice but to cooperate fully.

Yun Xiang was still decadent, often getting drunk, and asked why Liu Gongquan had not yet carried out their third deal. Liu Gongquan did not understand why Yun Xiang wanted to use the power of the government to deal with Ling Yuan. Yun Xiang took out a model of the Luo Family Village gate plaque he had made himself and talked about the bloody case at Luo Family Village. This made Liu Gongquan somewhat moved and lamented that Yun Xiang's talent was a waste not being used by the government.

Therefore, Liu Gongquan took on the third deal and was willing to thoroughly investigate the truth of the Luo Family Village case on behalf of Yun Xiang. He also expressed that if he ever needed Yun Xiang's help in the future, he hoped that Yun Xiang would have to give his full support. Later, the two arrived at the government dungeon and happened to see the officials stopping Yue Wu from biting his tongue to commit suicide.

Jin Biao and Tian Hu continued to take care of the children at Jishan Hall. Tian Hu noticed that Jin Biao's wrist was injured and took the initiative to apply medicine for him. They both had affection for each other. That night, Jin Biao returned to Liansheng Lane and saw Yun Xiang heavily drunk. Although he did not understand what had happened between him and Shu Yanan, he still tried to persuade him to take care of himself. Jin Biao confided in Yun Xiang and expressed that he no longer wanted to live the life of a swordsman and only wanted to cherish the present.
