Cui Shijiu was gravely injured by Zheng Shiyuan. The Zheng residence was already surrounded by Zhang Jinran’s guards, leaving Zheng Shiyuan with no way out. Despite this, he took Cui Shijiu hostage in a desperate attempt to escape. Yan Zijing deliberately distracted Zheng Shiyuan, giving Duan Wu the opportunity to shoot an arrow through Zheng Shiyuan’s arm. Cui Shijiu seized the moment, retrieved the dagger, and stabbed Zheng Shiyuan in the neck, killing him on the spot.

From Zheng Shiyuan’s inner pocket, Zhang Jinran found a ledger documenting years of collusion between the prince, the Zheng family, and the Cui family, along with their involvement in numerous crimes alongside the Li Long bandits. Yuchi Wuyi, as the leader of the Li Long bandits, was undeniably guilty. Zhang Jinran and Yan Zijing discussed their next steps and decided to go to the prince's residence at dawn to arrest Yuchi Wuyi.

Fearing exposure of his crimes, the prince poisoned Yuchi Wuyi. Despite Yuchi Wuyi’s caution, he fell victim to the poison, rendering his arms and legs completely powerless. The prince demanded that Yuchi Wuyi hand over the Blood Pearl and reveal the treasure’s location. Yuchi Wuyi knew that once he complied, he would lose all value and face immediate death. When Zhang Jinran arrived with evidence to arrest Yuchi Wuyi, Kang Ju desperately pleaded with him to obtain the antidote first.

Yan Zijing was experiencing intermittent blindness, and without the antidote, it would be too late to save him. In the prison cell, Yuchi Wuyi negotiated with Zhang Jinran, offering the antidote in exchange for his release. Zhang Jinran hesitated, but Yan Zijing stepped forward, firmly warning against releasing Yuchi Wuyi. He argued that Yuchi Wuyi’s heinous crimes and countless murders made him deserving of death. Letting him go would be akin to unleashing a tiger back into the wild.

Kang Ju was devastated. He knew Yuchi Wuyi held the antidote, but Yan Zijing remained resolute, unwilling to compromise. Yan Zijing reassured Kang Ju, stating that every day he had lived was dedicated to avenging his Yan clan. Now that his goal was achieved, he could die without regrets. As the Laba Festival approached, Duan Wu and her sisters from Mingjing Terrace began cooking beans to prepare Laba porridge. Kang Ju suggested renaming this year’s porridge to “Longevity Porridge.

” Duan Wu gazed up at the night sky, where the moon was obscured by dark clouds, sensing that something significant might happen. Whenever she looked at Yan Zijing, she felt there were secrets he was withholding, but out of understanding, she chose not to press him. Yuchi Wuyi had confessed, and Zhang Jinran led the effort to arrest the prince, bringing him back to the capital for trial.

Before leaving, Zhang Jinran visited Mingjing Terrace to bid farewell to Yan Zijing. At the time, Laba porridge was being distributed. Zhang Jinran vowed to seek justice for the Yan clan in the capital, then clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, wishing Yan Zijing health and happiness. Yan Zijing nodded in silent acknowledgment. Having gone through so much together, Zhang Jinran and Yan Zijing had become allies, bound by mutual admiration.

Cui Shijiu’s injuries began to heal, and she also came to Mingjing Terrace to enjoy some Laba porridge. Now that Zheng Zhiheng’s death had been avenged, Cui Shijiu reflected on the value of life. She and Duan Wu started discussing their visions for the future. Cui Shijiu expressed her desire to become the head of a jewelry guild.

Ever since she was a child, she had proven herself the equal of any man, and now she wanted to demonstrate her abilities and advocate for gender equality. Duan Wu, on the other hand, dreamed of delving deeper into jewelry design and development. She aspired to expand the business, open up international trade routes, and let more people worldwide know about Mingjing Terrace.
