Yao Xinlan, the wife of Qin Chen, the eldest son of Qin's family, was seven months pregnant. After returning from visiting her, she was in danger. Qin Guan helped to treat her and learned that Yao Xinlan suspected that Qin Chen had another woman in her heart.Yan Chi proposed to help Qin Guan return to Beijing, and Qin Guan was very happy.Yan Chi found someone peeking at Qin Wan's yard and decided to send someone to investigate.The second young master Qin Li secretly followed Qin Guan, but accidentally found the body of his maid Lianye and screamed in shock.
Qin Guan found that the lotus leaves had been dead for a long time and there were pinch marks on his neck, and there was a small piece of purple bamboo in his dress.Qin Wan asked to report to the official, but was persuaded to leave by the butler Liu Chun.After Qin Guan and Fuling returned to the room, Qin Li revealed that he had bayberry sores and asked Qin Guan for treatment. Qin Guan agreed and asked about the location of Zizhu in Qin Li's mansion.Qin Guan went to the Zizhu Forest to find clues about the killing of the lotus leaf, but was interrupted by Liu Chun.
The old lady sent two maids to Qin Guan, probably to monitor her, so Qin Guan asked Fuling to pay attention to the two.Qin Guan went to the Qinfu Medicine Deposit to prepare medicine for Qin Li, but found that the eighth aunt's prescription was also used to treat bayberry sores, but Qin Li swears that he had contracted the disease outside.The sixth lady Qin Shuang was dissatisfied with being confined to her feet and wanted to commit suicide. She accidentally fell into the dry well beside the flower shed and said that she saw dead bones at the bottom of the well, but was denied by her mother Lin and Liu Chun, and Qin Wan expressed doubts about this.
