Minglan and Rulan knelt in front of the hall to accept Sheng Hong's lesson. After being slapped, Minglan cried and admitted her mistake. Rulan had never been so angry and wanted Sheng Hong to treat everyone equally. After hearing this, Mo Lan quickly knelt down to apologize.
Sheng Hong refused to listen to what Ru Lan said. Instead of curing Mo Lan's crime, he beat Ru Lan severely. Wang Ruofu looked on and felt distressed, but could not stop him.Ru Lan told Sheng Hong what happened truthfully, and Mo Lan argued with her again. It was like a replica of Wang Ruofu and Lin Sushuang fighting.
Rulan asked Minglan to tell Sheng Hong the truth. Minglan, who had always been cautious, whispered that it was Mo Lan who walked in front and they followed behind.
