Xiaoqiao came to deliver medicine to Qi Tianlei and overheard laughter from inside the room. Upon entering, she found Qi Tianlei's room in disarray due to Li Yuhu's playful antics. Li Yuhu explained that she had been tossing things around playfully. Xiaoqiao advised Qi Tianlei to take the medicine while it's still warm, and he sent her away. He then poured the medicine she brought directly down the drain, explaining to Li Yuhu that some medicines are necessary while others should be avoided.
Qi Tianlei took Li Yuhu to the garden to relax. Seeing the characters Qi Tianlei had inscribed for the garden, he realized that Li Yuhu had mispronounced the name of the garden. This further aroused his suspicion about her being a knowledgeable lady from the Du family. They strolled through the garden, and when they reached an upstairs balcony, Li Yuhu unexpectedly spotted a neglected grave in the courtyard. Qi Tianlei explained that he intentionally built the garden around it, using it as a reminder to stay grounded.
Du Bingyan couldn't leave the Yuan residence. On this day, she attempted to escape the servant's supervision and explore, but was intercepted and prevented from entering a certain room. Ignoring the warning, she entered anyway and discovered it was the Yuan ancestral hall. She found the tablets of Yuan Buqu's deceased wives, but was swiftly confronted by Li Cheng, who sternly ushered her out of the hall.
Qi Tianlei sought out his master, Liu Ruoqian, with suspicions about his new wife's identity. He had heard that Du Bingyan from Yangzhou was well-educated and refined. After a few days of observation, he found Li Yuhu to be charming but lacking in intellectual depth. The Qi family held a crab feast that day, and Grandma specially invited the new daughter-in-law to join. Qi Mother proposed that the accomplished Du family daughter recite interesting crab anecdotes, but Li Yuhu, not being Du Bingyan, struggled with the task and resorted to rhyming descriptions. Surprisingly, her rhymes impressed the Qi family, with Grandma diffusing any awkwardness.
Later, Grandma suggested composing poems using the crabs on the table. She started, and Xiaoqiao proposed that Li Yuhu continue the poem. Lacking literary talent, Li Yuhu cleverly deconstructed the crab to "write" a poem, leading the Qi family to mistakenly think that "Du Bingyan" had an unconventional literary style.
To test Li Yuhu, Xiaoqiao proposed they paint chrysanthemums in the courtyard. Li Yuhu was unsure how to proceed, but she creatively used a flower to make imprints and successfully passed the test. Bored at the Qi residence, Li Yuhu went to the courtyard to practice swordplay. However, Xiaoqiao intervened, reminding her that as Du Bingyan, she shouldn't engage in martial activities. This statement unexpectedly reached Qi Tianlei's ears, prompting him to reflect on their relationship as master and servant.
Li Yuhu confided in Xiaoqiao about the peculiarities of the Qi family: the head of the household is Grandma, the only daughter is mute, the sole son is frail, and he faints at the drop of a hat only to recover just as quickly. Qi Tianlei had the servant summon Li Yuhu, stating that they are already married and should send a letter of greeting to her parents in Yangzhou. He provided a list of gifts and a family letter, suggesting that she write her parents' names on the envelopes herself. Xiaoqiao tried unsuccessfully to divert Qi Tianlei's attention, resulting in both Qi Tianlei and Li Yuhu writing the names on the envelope together. To help Li Yuhu remember Du Bingyan's parents' names, Xiaoqiao assisted by mentioning them, but Li Yuhu still managed to get them wrong.
Privately, Qi Tianlei confronted Xiaoqiao about the mix-up. He questioned her about Du Bingyan's confusion with her parents' names, pointing out various inconsistencies he had noticed. With no way to hide the truth, Xiaoqiao admitted to being a maid from the Du family and explained the incident with the sedan chairs. She mentioned that Li Yuhu is kind-hearted and had come to the Qi residence to help Du Bingyan avoid trouble, hoping that Qi Tianlei wouldn't blame her. Qi Tianlei instructed Xiaoqiao to keep this a secret and advised her to be cautious and discreet in the future.
