Luo Shu was completely awakened after hearing what Chen Meiqing said. She rejected Han Muzhi face to face. From then on, she deliberately avoided Han Muzhi and became a stranger to him. Han Muzhi was very sad and depressed every day. Chen Meiqing advised him to forget Luo Shu and not to do anything for him.The affair between his children ruined his bright future, and he and Luo Shu were not the same people at all. Han Muzhi was in a dilemma, and he couldn't let go of Luo Shu.

Cai, Qi Menglin was so angry that he wanted to take Zaohua to the county government office so that Zaohua could see Chen Meiqing's face clearly.
Late at night, someone secretly threw a secret letter at the door of the county government, reporting that Qian Dayou, the owner of the Mantianling mine, was an accomplice of White Ant. Han Muzhi called Chen Meiqing and Luo Shu to discuss countermeasures. Chen Meiqing had heard about the money behind Qian Dayou.The owner is Eunuch Zhang, and Luo Shu suggested that he first go to the Mantianling Mine to find out the truth.

Chen Meiqing did not want to get entangled with her and insisted on breaking off the engagement with Zaohua. Cai Captou and XuWu Zuodu persuaded Chen Meiqing to marry Zaohua. Chen Meiqing repeatedly explained that his father saved Zaohua and he always regarded Zaohua as his sister.
Luo Shu and Chen Meiqing reported Qian Dayou's arrogant and domineering behavior to Han Muzhi, suspecting him of robbing civilian girls in the name of mining. Han Muzhi came up with two ways, one was to report to Liu Yiqing, and the other was to collect evidence to bring down Eunuch Zhang., Chen Meiqing did not want to cause trouble, and persuaded Han Muzhi to report to Liu Yiqing. Qi Menglin ridiculed Chen Meiqing.

Chen Meiqing was worried about getting into trouble.Luo Shu took the initiative to invite Ying to work as an undercover agent in the Mantianling Mine, but Han Muzhi refused and refused to allow her to take risks. Qi Menglin wanted to go with Luo Shu, but Han Muzhi still refused to let go, but couldn't think of a better way, so he had to agree to go together., before leaving, Han Muzhi gave Qi Menglin many instructions. Qi Menglin knew that he was worried about Luo Shu.
Qi Menglin changed into tattered refugee clothes, and Luo Shu dressed up as a ragged buck-toothed girl. He also smeared a lot of blame on Qi Menglin's face and body. The two of them pretended to be a fleeing couple and came to the Mantianling Mine.Wang Mao, the cook from the mine, came back from buying vegetables. The two of them deliberately rolled down the mountain and asked Wang Mao who was passing by for help. Qi Menglin lied that Luo Shu had just been pregnant and they were starving, so Wang Mao took them back to the mine.
Wang Mao gave Qi Menglin and Luo Shu some dry food and asked them to leave after eating. Qi Menglin and Luo Shu lied that they came to seek refuge with relatives, but their relatives were gone. Now they were desperate and asked Wang Mao to give them a way out. Wang Mao asked them to stay.Doing chores and secretly observing their every move, Qi Menglin and Luo Shu worked conscientiously, not afraid of hardship or fatigue, and quickly dispelled Wang Mao's wariness.
Brother Dog came to see Wang Mao. The two of them hid and muttered. Luo Shu was too far away and only heard the words "white ant". Wang Mao asked Qi Menglin and Luo Shu to go to the construction site to deliver food. Luo Shu discovered that Wang Mao had cooked for the miners.After a simple meal, they made another pot of fine grains. Luo Shu suspected that the fine grains were made for the girl who was caught.

Luo Shu firmly believed that Bai Yue could not recognize him now.
