Episode 14

General Niu wanted to threaten Yang Jinglan and put Ji Yingying in danger on the grounds that he had special skills.Yang Jinglan did not show weakness, saying that she represented the conscientious court officials and was determined to eliminate Yizhou Jinye.

A masked man in black suddenly appeared, and Yang Jinglan took the opportunity to jump downstairs.General Niu accused his subordinates of making unauthorized claims, but his subordinates said that the masked man was not one of his own.The man in black pretended to assassinate Ji Yingying, and Ji Yaoting tried his best to protect him.The man in black took off his mask and asked Ji Yingying to cooperate with him.Ji Yingying recognized Gao Fang and deliberately snatched his sword and stabbed herself, saying that she had to act accordingly.

After hearing the news, Governor Sang rushed over and saw that the assassin had run away, but he found General Niu's token.Governor Sang didn't want to stir up trouble and blamed Yang Jinglan for his actions.General Niu brought people to Ji's house and knew that Yang Jinglan was responsible for this matter.Yang Jinglan said that she was responsible for supervising Gong Jin, and used General Niu's token to turn against the guests. She wanted General Niu to be responsible for protecting Ji Yingying, and deliberately said that she could make the rumors collapse.

Ji Yingying deliberately felt wronged in public, saying that she and Niu Wuniang had a marriage grudge, and it was inevitable that someone would take advantage of the relationship between the two families to provoke discord.General Niu didn't want to agree to this, so Yang Jinglan said he would report it to Jiedushi. General Niu was afraid of Jiedushi, so he had to compromise for the time being.Yang Jinglan wanted to use this method to force General Niu not to attack Ji Yingying.

Yuyuan felt sorry for Niu Wuniang and felt guilty that she had been caught and let Niu Wuniang be punished.Niu Wuniang did not blame her, thinking that Yuyuan was the person who had accompanied her through difficulties all these years. She wanted to prove herself and would never be dependent on any man.Zhao Xiuyuan rushed in and questioned Niu Wuniang about her renegade, which almost killed Ji Yingying.Niu Wuniang said that she would decide everything, mocking Zhao Xiuyuan for having no real power.

Yang Jinglan was unhappy and believed that Ji Yingying should not risk her life.Ji Yingying said that the fake show was real and she didn't want to be beaten down by General Niu and others. She knew that Yang Jinglan's intention was to strike first.Yang Jinglan knew that General Niu would not touch Ji Yingying for the time being, but she was worried that the day when Gong Jin appeared would be more dangerous.Ji Yingying wants to be an imperial businessman so that no one dares to bully the Ji family.She took out the list of murder cases from that year, thinking it would be helpful to Yang Jinglan's investigation.

Zhao Xiuyuan came to see Ji Yingying, but Ji Xu refused to let him go and let Ji Yingying recover from her injuries first.Yang Jinglan also did not allow the two to meet, saying that Gong Brocade Weaving did not need to meet.Zhao Xiuyuan accused Yang Jinglan of hurting Ji Yingying. Yang Jinglan replied that it was more terrible for her to sell herself to the enemy, but Zhao Xiuyuan said that Ji Yingying could understand him doing this.

Zhao Dalang filed a complaint in front of Mr. Zhao, believing that Zhao Xiuyuan's fake red silk fabric was detrimental to the Zhao family's face.Mr. Zhao did not care about it and believed that the top priority was to unite Nishiki households to weave tribute brocade.Zhao Xiuyuan suddenly appeared, pretending to be General Niu, and asked Mr. Zhao to give up his throne in public.Mr. Zhao accused Zhao Xiuyuan of being impatient. Zhao Xiuyuan asked someone to pretend to be a soldier and threatened him. Mr. Zhao believed it and had to give way to him.

Outside the Jinguan Mansion, Yang Jinglan announced in public that Ji Yingying had reappeared in Shu Hongsi and changed the house number to her name. Everyone applauded.Zhao Xiuyuan clenched his fists when he saw this scene while sitting in the sedan.Ji Yingying thinks of Ji Guinan and thinks that she has not let down Ji Guinan.

Yang Jinglan invited Ji Yingying into the house and returned the Shu Brocade found by Shen Jinguan to her.Ji Yingying guessed that Ji Guinan was the scapegoat for the murder that year, and someone deliberately lied about Jin's crime.The guard came to report that Yang Juxian wanted to see him.Yang Jinglan refused because he did not want to reconcile with Yang Juxian.Ji Yingying comforted him, hoping that he could choose what his heart wanted, saying that the two were allies.

Sheng Fengze's junior sister Ning Dai found out and thought that if Sheng Fengze wanted to break into Jinye, he could start from the Niu, Zhao and Xu families.Sheng Fengze was not content with this. He made a big show of asking everyone to draw pictures for Jin and repay them with gold leaves.
