The City Lord opened the jade piece sent earlier by Su Yu's uncle and found it identical to Pei Pei's jade fan, shocking everyone present. Su Yu was also surprised, as the spy had initially taken the Jade Linglong design. However, his uncle had anticipated Pei Pei's change of theme and had switched it to a jade fan in advance, proving the old are still wise.

Su Yu seized the opportunity to tell the City Lord that the jade fan was his creation, but it went missing before the competition, so he had presented the pre-made fan as a birthday gift. This insinuated that Pei Pei had stolen his design to compete. Despite Pei Pei and Shan Dandan's efforts to explain, no one believed them.

The City Lord accused Pei Pei of plagiarism and banned Qipei Pavilion from the Jade Competition forever, leading the crowd to criticize Qipei Pavilion harshly. Many Qipei Pavilion shareholders, upon learning of the scandal, demanded their investment back and removed all the jade pieces from the store. The Pei family was left in a dire state. Madam Pei urged everyone not to lose heart, believing they could start anew with confidence.

She planned to investigate the internal mole but did not blame Pei Pei or Shan Dandan for their excellent performance at the competition. She asked everyone to leave, except Pei Pei, for a private conversation. Madam Pei believed Pei Pei's ability to carve again was a success and told him not to worry about the competition or Su Yu's tricks. She had faith in Pei Pei and Shan Dandan's potential to revive Qipei Pavilion.

Pei Pei and Shan Dandan found Hongyan at a teahouse and questioned her about leaking secrets. Although Hongyan felt guilty for not being able to help Pei Pei as a jade beauty, she denied leaking the jade fan's design. Pei Pei trusted her, suspecting another mole. Despite winning the Jade Competition, Su Yu was not pleased, as Pei Pei's craftsmanship still made him jealous.

Shan Shuangshuang also felt uneasy about Pei Pei's skills and decided to invite Su Yu for a drink to discuss the missing Phoenix Crown further. Since Shan Dandan and Pei Pei became close, Cuiliu resented Shan Dandan even more and often took opportunities to trouble her. Shan Dandan, however, was not easy to bully and argued with Cuiliu. Cuiliu had a plan, instructing Shan Dandan to throw away some unwanted jade scraps.

Shan Dandan, reluctant to waste them, kept the scraps to take home. Cuiliu then accused her of theft and brought her to Madam Pei for punishment. Madam Pei questioned Shan Dandan's choice of stealing scraps instead of valuable items. Shan Dandan explained that it was Pei Pei's idea to repurpose the scraps for jewelry, which she planned to sell. Madam Pei appreciated Shan Dandan's idea, praising her for thinking creatively about making jewelry for both nobles and commoners.

Cuiliu's plan backfired, helping Shan Dandan instead. Early the next morning, Shan Dandan prepared a meal for Pei Pei, while Cuiliu tried to ingratiate herself by bringing him tea, only to receive a cold response. In front of all the servants, Pei Pei supported Shan Dandan, declaring she could do as she pleased and spend money freely. This made Shan Dandan even more confident.

Shan Dandan shared her idea of repurposing jade scraps with her sister, Shan Shuangshuang, who agreed and offered to help with designs. They decided to keep it a secret from Su Yu due to the strained relationship between the Su and Pei families. Upon returning to the Su household, Shan Shuangshuang visited Manager Wang, Su Yu's uncle, suspecting he was behind Pei Pei's failure at the competition.

However, Manager Wang believed that despite their setback, the Pei family wouldn't easily collapse due to their vast assets. A Liu gave Shan Dandan a doll, which Cuiliu saw and used to accuse Shan Dandan of having an affair with A Liu, betraying Pei Pei. Coincidentally, Pei Pei overheard and clarified that he had asked A Liu to give the doll to Shan Dandan, scolding Cuiliu for her unreasonable hatred.

Cuiliu quickly tried to cover up, claiming she bore no grudge against Shan Dandan and even offering her a gift. When Cuiliu's gift turned out to be poisoned lipstick, Pei Pei forced her to apply it herself. Terrified, Cuiliu confessed her wrongdoing. Enraged, Pei Pei expelled Cuiliu from the household, vowing never to rehire her.
