Episode 6

He Weifang rode a fast horse and rushed home anxiously. The thoughts of her father's love for her before she got married kept popping up in her mind, and a glimmer of hope surged in her heart.However, she never expected that Liu Shen's people would arrive at He's house before she did. They accused her of contradicting her mother-in-law and being disrespectful to her husband. They even went to court to demand a divorce, but they didn't mention anything about the Liu family.He treated her harshly and misappropriated her dowry without authorization.Father He didn't know the truth and mistakenly thought that Mu Dan was running away from home at night, so he agreed to work with the Liu family to find her whereabouts.He Weifang knew that he could no longer return to that home, so he left some money and silk as a farewell in the dead of night, and rode to the cliff with peonies on his back.The men sent by Liu Shen found He Weifang's body on the edge of the cliff and mistakenly thought that she had fallen off the cliff and died.Liu Chang firmly believed that He Weifang was not dead. He speculated that He's father Liu Shen forced her to death.

Liu Chang has always listened to his father's words and followed his father's wishes in both trivial matters and major life events.However, this time, he decided not to be his father's puppet or marionette, and vowed to his death never to marry the county lord.Liu Shen was furious and punished Liu Chang with a stick, but Liu Chang gritted his teeth and would rather die than surrender.Mrs. Liu felt sorry for her son and cried, urging him to marry the county lord as his wife.Liu Shen was so angry that he blushed and fell to the ground with a thick neck, angrily scolding Liu Chang for his willful behavior that angered King Ning and caused the Liu family to be demoted to Luoyang.This marriage to the county lord is the Liu family's only chance to make a comeback.Liu Chang was touched when he mentioned this matter, and Liu Shen immediately arranged for someone to go to Chang'an to recruit him.Although Liu Chang was unwilling to do so, he still did not refuse violently.

In fact, He Weifang did not fall to his death from the cliff.The Bu Yao on the edge of the cliff was deliberately left by her to confuse the pursuers so that she could successfully escape the pursuit of the Liu family.She found a common people's house in the mountains, put on coarse clothes, and paid someone to sneak her into Chang'an City.He Weifang's mother once left her a property in Chang'an called Fangyuan, but when she knocked on the door, she learned that there were no senior executives and the servants didn't recognize her as the owner.In order to gain a foothold in Chang'an, He Weifang searched for jobs in stores, but many stores did not dare to recruit unregistered people like her who did not have household registration.

One day, He Weifang saw a woman busy in a wine shop and took the initiative to ask if she needed help.The woman decisively rejected her, but the shop owner kindly accepted her to work in the shop and said that if she was willing to mortgage the jade abacus to him, he could ask the government officials to help her register her household registration.He Weifang had doubts and asked the shop owner to provide written evidence as evidence.Wu Niang was full of hostility towards He Weifang. She bumped into her intentionally, causing the dishes to break, and accused her of stealing money because of her dirty hands.He Weifang argued that the shop owner Wang Qing finally chose to believe her.However, He Weifang always felt that Wang Qing and his wife were planning something secretly at night, but she decided to make money first and pay more attention to Wang Qing and his wife's movements.

On the other side, Jiang Changyang successfully recruited Chu Dalang, the boss of the Qingzheng Society, who was lurking in Chang'an, and handed Dabei's letter to him.The next day, Chu Dalang was arranged to meet Dabei at Kaiyuan Temple, and Chu Dalang finally agreed to join Jiang Changyang's camp.With the joining of this group of people with lofty ideals, Jiang Changyang had his own eyes and ears in Xishi, and it became much easier for him to act.However, half a month passed in the blink of an eye, but the household registration matter that Wang Qing promised has not yet been settled.He actually wanted to say something to He Weifang for his evil intentions, so he could divorce Wuniang and let He Weifang become the principal wife. From now on, the family property would belong to both of them.He Weifang resolutely refused his unreasonable request, but was beaten and intimidated by Wang Qing.Forced by Wang Qing's lustful power and violent methods, He Weifang had to temporarily compromise and agree.
