Song Ajiu cleverly pretended to be kicked away by He Shouxin and took the opportunity to spy on the mysterious floor.Song Shijie pretended to be Sun Jiuniang, pretending to know nothing, and even defended Sanniang.Song Ajiu kept hinting to He Shouxin that there was a mystery hidden in the building. After He Shouxin understood it, he asked for a search on the pretext of smelling a strange smell.At this time, Song Shijie took out a chamber pot to divert He Shouxin's attention, successfully dispelling his suspicions.He Shouxin pretended to agree with Sanniang's innocence, and then led the officials away.
Everyone in Yichun Pavilion was frightened by this sudden turn of events. After Sanniang appeased everyone, she called Song Shijie upstairs.Linglong and Xiaofeng looked at Song Shijie with suspicion and hostility.Sanniang eagerly asked Song Shijie what he knew, but Song Shijie pretended to have amnesia and claimed to have forgotten everything just now.Sanniang was well aware of Song Shijie's intelligence and she emphasized the importance of Yichun Pavilion, which was the source of livelihood for many sisters.Song Shijie agreed and took out the elixir he had hidden.
Sanniang revealed that these medicinal materials were used to make Hongyuan Dan.Song Shijie mistakenly thought this was the elixir of life, but Sanniang told him that some customers here blamed women for their misbehavior, and this medicine was used to deal with this situation.Sanniang proposed that Song Shijie take over as the Madam, but asked him to keep the matter secret.Linglong was surprised that Song Shijie could win Sanniang's trust in a short period of time, and decided to monitor him and Song Ajiu more closely.
Song Ajiu asked Song Shijie if he had solved the mystery of the spider spirit. When the two were talking, they noticed someone peeping in secret, and they left quickly in embarrassment.Linglong questioned Song Shijie's real purpose of approaching Sanniang. As soon as Song Shijie got rid of her, he entered the bath, only to find that no one was there. He regretted missing the previous scene.
Song Ajiu reminded He Shouxin to investigate Niu Dachun's background.Song Shijie won Sanniang's recognition for his outstanding performance, and he proposed to sell Red Yuan Dan to Sanniang to repay his kindness.Boss Wang admired Song Ajiu very much. Although he showed pain on his face, Song Shijie still advised him to be patient and achieve great things.The official found Niu Dachun. In order to cover up the matter of Hong Yuandan, he bribed Guan Chuan with silver to escape.
Song Shijie suggested that Sanniang discard the Hongyuan Pill. As soon as he finished disposing of it, He Shouxin came to search.After Song Shijie hinted that He Shouxin had left, Niu Dachun rushed upstairs to fight Sanniang and Song Shijie and tied them up.Niu Dachun arrogantly claimed that he had killed Gong Xiaofan and swore.He Shouxin happened to hear all this outside.In court, Niu Dachun still insisted that he was innocent.Song Shijie produced evidence and revealed Niu Dachun's true face.
Linglong was shocked when she learned Song Shijie's true identity. Although Sanniang was surprised inside, she remained calm on the surface.Song Shijie analyzed the grudge between Gong Xiaofan and Niu Dachun and pointed out that Niu Dachun had a grudge because of being angry for a long time, and finally killed him.Although Niu Dachun admitted to killing Gong Xiaofan, he denied everything else.He Shouxin sentenced Niu Dachun to death.Although Sanniang was at fault, due to Song Shijie's clever defense, she was only sentenced to three years and five hundred taels of silver.He Shouxin reluctantly handed over the gold card to Song Shijie and others.
Song Ajiu complained about the poverty of officials, while Song Shijie wanted to take Jinka and Song Ajiu to live happily.When they returned to Yichun Pavilion, the atmosphere was completely different.Linglong thinks Song Shijie is good at disguise, while Sanniang is grateful for his help in court.Sanniang tried to find out Song Shijie's views on the Niu Dachun case, but secretly lit the incense.Song Shijie began to feel dizzy.
