Fang Xiaoqiao, after inspecting the situation, informed Ke Shizhao that the key to the secret chamber was the golden hairpin in Grandma's possession. Ke Shizhao asked Fang Xiaoqiao to help obtain the golden hairpin, even if it meant pressuring her to poison Grandma.
Qi Tianlei told Li Yuhu that intellectuals tend to do wicked things worse than anyone else, and Ke Shizhao was one of those who had read corrupting books. Li Yuhu speculated whether those unsavory characters were influenced by such books, wondering if Qi Tianlei's intelligence was a result of reading uplifting literature. Qi Tianlei expressed that maintaining virtuous thoughts and staying true to oneself required great courage and perseverance. Therefore, the rich offspring should avoid extravagance, as it could easily lead to evil thoughts.
While the managers of the fourteen businesses were in the mansion, Grandma warned them not to harbor personal interests or engage in scheming while working in the Qi residence. Despite her age, Grandma claimed to see things clearly. Aware of both good and evil within the Qi family, Grandma expressed her understanding. However, before finishing her warning, Grandma had a sudden breathlessness episode. Qi Tianlei quickly asked Xiao Xi to bring Liu Ruoqian for a medical consultation. After Liu Ruoqian examined Grandma's pulse, he diagnosed her with a stroke. He assured that the condition was treatable and prescribed some medicine for Grandma.
Afterward, the first and second Madams took turns staying with Grandma. Fang Xiaoqiao had no chance to get close to Grandma, let alone obtain the golden hairpin. Ke Shizhao instructed Fang Xiaoqiao to find a way to distract the two Madams and gave her poison to put into Grandma's soup. This way, they could acquire the golden hairpin and the treasures. Under Ke Shizhao's influence, Fang Xiaoqiao reluctantly decided to poison Grandma, but she struggled to get close to Grandma's soup.
Therefore, when the second Madam was preparing to feed Grandma soup, Fang Xiaoqiao entered Grandma's room and informed the Third Young Master that the second Madam was needed elsewhere. Seizing the opportunity, she added poison to Grandma's soup. Both the second Madam and Grandma were well aware of the situation and decided to switch the soup before Fang Xiaoqiao could raise suspicions.
Upon learning that Fang Xiaoqiao had successfully poisoned Grandma, Ke Shizhao immediately ordered Wang Huzi to assassinate Liu Ruoqian. Meanwhile, he rushed to Grandma's room to dismiss the second Madam. Seeing only himself and Grandma in the room, Ke Shizhao revealed his true intentions. He intended to feed Grandma the poison, but to his surprise, Grandma woke up and caught him red-handed. Accusing Ke Shizhao of disowning his family, Grandma was disappointed to learn that he was plotting against his own grandmother. Ke Shizhao, in frustration and shame, tied up Grandma and took the golden hairpin.
Hidden in the shadows, Li Yuhu had planned to rescue Grandma when Ke Shizhao left. However, Grandma insisted that it was not the right time and wanted to wait until Ke Shizhao revealed all his schemes. She planned to have the authorities apprehend him when they arrived, instructing Li Yuhu to continue hiding. Ke Shizhao summoned his henchmen to search the mansion for Qi Tianlei and Li Yuhu, intending to eliminate them quickly.
The couple Liu Ruoqian and Qi Tianlei, along with others, dealt with the assassins led by Wang Huzi in the mansion. Ke Shizhao returned to the room, expressing dissatisfaction with being just a steward and proclaiming his desire to be the head of the Qi family. Ke Shizhao planned to feed the poison to Grandma, but in a critical moment, Li Yuhu appeared, knocked away the poisoned cup, and pointed a sword at Ke Shizhao. However, Ke Shizhao, using the golden hairpin, held Grandma hostage, forcing Li Yuhu to reluctantly step back. Taking advantage, Ke Shizhao entered the secret chamber, but Li Yuhu cleverly removed the golden hairpin, causing Ke Shizhao to fall into the secret room.
Qi Tianlei and others dealt with the black-clothed men brought by Wang Huzi. The authorities arrived to arrest Ke Shizhao. Even at this point, Ke Shizhao refused to admit any wrongdoing. Grandma rebuked him for being unrepentant. As Ke Shizhao was taken away by the authorities, Grandma thanked the couple Liu Ruoqian and Li Yuhu for their help. With everything resolved, Li Yuhu publicly admitted that she was not Du Bingyan but Li Yuhu.
Despite the mix-up with the wedding sedan, Grandma was upset that everyone had kept the truth from her. Unexpectedly, Li Yuhu announced that she was expecting, bringing joy to Grandma and gratitude for bringing new hope to the Qi family. The Emperor granted Princess Chang Ping's marriage and summoned Yuan Buqu and Sha Pingwei for an audience. Du Bingyan, preparing Yuan Buqu for the meeting, entered the palace. Yuan Buqu was reluctant to part from her, reflecting on how he had never feared the dangers of his life, but in Yangzhou, he had feared that Du Bingyan might truly marry into the Qi family. Du Bingyan comforted him, assuring that she was going to Linzhou to help Li Yuhu and that they would never be separated again.
