Xi Yanxuan woke up in his grandfather's tea-scented fantasy, his eyes filled with grief for the death of Xiling Jiuyao.He confided in his grandfather and firmly denied that he had anything to do with Tu Shanjing's death.Although his grandfather believed in him, he also reminded him that he was still not vigilant about the power struggles between aristocratic families, especially those who died of unknown origins.Xingxuan felt guilty and admitted, but his grandfather warned him not to let Jiu Yao's trust go to waste.Xuanxuan made the oath, and his grandfather felt at ease, thankful that the situation was not out of control.

Chishui Fenglong accidentally learned the truth about the deceased and angrily questioned Chen Rong Xinyue.Xinyue admitted frankly and revealed that the original target was Jiu Yao, but Fang Feng Yiying's betrayal changed the plan.Fenglong was deeply disappointed with Xinyue's stubbornness, and the two quarreled fiercely.Xinyue firmly stated that she would bear all the consequences alone and would not affect the Fenglong family.

After learning that she admitted the crime, he decided to deprive her of her real rights in anger, leaving her isolated and helpless.Later, he dispatched troops and generals to conquer Chenrong's rebel army, but Fenglong took the initiative to ask for a battle, hoping to exchange his military exploits for his sister's forgiveness.Before the expedition, Fenglong visited Xinyue, but was scolded by her and could only leave sadly.Grandfather told Jiu Yao about Feng Long's expedition and was worried that she would not be able to let go of her feelings for Xiang Liu.Jiu Yao held back tears and was determined to face reality.
