Episode 1

In the cold winter of the 27th year of Chengping, the emperor was seriously ill and unable to go to court. At this time, General Song Mo took the opportunity to support King Qing and attacked the capital at night in the name of serving the disease, intending to avenge Dingguo, who had been wronged in the past.He imprisoned the prince and tried to force him to abdicate, but the prince knew Song Mo's true purpose and would rather die than surrender. Before his death, he reminded Song Mo that he had avenged the wrong man.Song Mo was puzzled by this.

Dou Zhao, the Marquis of Jining's wife, had already foreseen the rebellion between Prince Qing and Song Mo, and she made arrangements in advance to prevent any unexpected events.However, Song Mo's killing behavior frightened the people in the mansion, and they took the opportunity to steal and escape.Dou Zhao severely punished these people and warned Wei Tingyu, the Marquis of Jining, not to discuss the current situation arbitrarily.

Song Mo led his army into the palace and wanted to see King Qing, but was blocked by the eunuch Wang Ge.Wang Ge lied that King Qing was having a secret conversation with the emperor and it was inconvenient to meet him, and persuaded Song Mo to leave the jade seal for meritorious service.However, Song Mo insisted that he only wanted to clear up his grievances, so he left with the jade seal and stationed outside the city, forcing King Qing to fail to ascend the throne, and the situation became increasingly turbulent.

In order to preserve the Jining Marquis Mansion, Dou Zhao supported his sick body and ordered people to carry the coffin to the hospital. He lied that he was seriously ill and needed care, so as to protect Wei Tingyu from external disturbances.However, when she was seriously ill and vomited blood, she discovered that her husband Wei Tingyu was having an affair with his maid Dou Ming. She also learned that her mother's death was related to Dou Ming's mother, and she was filled with grief and anger.Dou Zhao cleverly used the illusion of fire to expose the adultery between the two in public, announced that he would sever ties with the Jining Marquis Mansion, and left angrily.

Dou Zhao was living on the street and met Song Mo by chance.Song Mo rescued her and arranged a place to stay.Dou Zhao was curious about Song Mo's white hair, but Song Mo didn't want to say anything.At this time, monk Ji Yong appears, suggesting that the two are connected in destiny.Subsequently, Wang Ge and Wei Tingyu led troops to besiege Song Mo, accusing him of colluding with Dou Zhao.Song Mo was not afraid and ridiculed King Qing for his unkindness, and revealed that he had made arrangements.Ji Yong took the opportunity to take Dou Zhao away, but encountered pursuers on the way. Song Mo arrived in time and rescued Dou Zhao, but he was injured.Before Ji Yong died, he gave them a book - the Record of Zhaoshi -, hoping that they could change their destiny.However, the two were eventually cornered by their pursuers and fell into the abyss together.In the process of falling, Dou Zhao saw Zhao Shilu floating towards her. Time seemed to go back and she closed her eyes.

When Dou Zhao woke up again, she found that she had returned to her childhood and everything was as before.She realized that this was the chance of rebirth given to her by Zhaoshilu.She is determined to change her destiny and protect her family from harm.At the same time, Song Mo also woke up and also lost the memory of his dream, but when the two passed by, they both felt a sense of familiarity.

Episode 2

After Zhao Guqiu returned home, he was forced to agree to Dou Shiying to marry Wang Yingxue as his concubine.Zhao Si and Dou Shiying's brother had a dispute over this matter. Dou Shiying's brother believed that Zhao Guqiu only had one daughter, while Wang Yingxue had a prominent family background and was indeed a good match.Wang Yingxue even pretended to be brave and threatened death.Zhao Guqiu was angry and threw down his hairpin to fulfill his wish.Seeing this, Wang Yingxue repeated her old tricks and pretended to be weak, which made Dou Shiying feel very distressed and vowed to take good care of him.Dou Zhao came over after hearing the news and wanted to drive Wang Yingxue out of the house. Unexpectedly, Wang Yingxue pretended to fall again. Dou Shiying even blamed magnolia for his asthma and ordered it to be cut down.This flower was a token of love between Zhao Guqiu and Dou Shiying. Zhao Guqiu was heartbroken and finally agreed with tears in his eyes.

Dou Zhao felt sorry for his mother and vowed to stand up for her.She told Zhao Guqiu that as long as Zhao Guqiu didn't nod, Wang Yingxue would have no choice but to be an outsider, and Wang Xingyi would never agree to this.Zhao Guqiu was surprised by his daughter's precocity.Dou Zhao also reminded Zhao Guqiu that reconciliation is also a choice. She will go with her mother. Uncle Zhao Si is proficient in the law and will definitely help them escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

In order to save Dou Shiying's heart, Wang Yingxue blamed magnolia for his asthma, and this flower was Zhao Guqiu's favorite.In order to protect Wang Yingxue, Dou Shiying ordered people to cut him down. Zhao Guqiu was heartbroken and finally hanged himself in despair. He stepped on the jar of No. 1 red wine that Dou Shiying had buried when he was in high school.Dou Zhao held his mother's body and cried bitterly, while Dou Shiying blamed herself.In Zhao Guqiu's suicide note, he only wished Dou Shiying to treat Dou Zhao kindly.

At the mourning hall, Wang Yingxue came to pay homage, but was pushed away by Dou Zhao angrily.Dou Shiying became depressed and drank heavily all day long.Wang Xingyi and Dou Shiying's brother took the opportunity to plan and wanted Wang Yingxue to correct the situation.Zhao Si was dissatisfied with Wang Yingxue's intrusion into Zhao Guqiu's dowry, and the two quarreled.Dou Zhao ate the snacks prepared by Wang Yingxue. Zhao Si thought he was heartless, but Dou Zhao suddenly fainted from poisoning.Grandmother Cui returned after hearing the news, seeking justice and demanding that Wang Yingxue return her dowry and pay three thousand taels in compensation.Wang Yingxue refused, but Cui supported Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao observed filial piety for his mother for three years and swore not to recognize Wang Yingxue as his mother.Dou Shiying agreed and was willing to move into Zhao Guqiu's room to keep the system.Wang Yingxue felt scared at this moment and hurriedly admitted her mistake.Dou Zhao stood in the courtyard, looking at the magnolia tree, thinking of his mother silently in his heart, and finally vented his anger for his mother.But this place is no longer her home, nor is it her mother's home.From then on, Dou Zhao moved to Zhuangzi, lived with Mr. Cui, and gained his love.

Dou Zhao confessed to Cui that Wang Yingxue harmed her everywhere and she could only protect herself.Mrs. Cui feels sorry for Dou Zhao and hopes that he will shine and not get trapped in a backyard fight.He repaired Zhao Guqiu's broken bracelet and handed it to Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao understood Cui's painstaking efforts and vowed to be as persevering as a flower.

After that, Dou Zhao became a disciple of the famous teacher Chen Qushui, who was well versed in world affairs.He also recruited Sulan, a martial maid, who was very protective of himself.Finally, he established himself among the merchants and had no disadvantages.

In the army camp of Duke Ding, a young man named Song Mo came to surrender.Jiang Meisun was not happy at first sight and wanted to turn him away.However, Song Mo was agile and took advantage of his unpreparedness to capture General Yan Chaoqing.Jiang Meisun saw Song Mo coming with injuries and knew that he had been kicked out of the house by Song Yichun, so he had no choice but to take him in.Song Mo also vowed to work hard all the way up from the Huotou Army.

Time flies, Song Mo has grown into a young general.And Dou Zhao also became the daughter of a shrewd and capable merchant.She had an insight into the situation and concluded that when Jiang Meisun led the troops to fight, the goods she stocked would be priceless.

While Dou Zhao was studying, he recalled meeting an old man.The old man asked her to throw the stones into the water and warned her that the stones could not stop the river from flowing backward.Only with the power to overturn the strait can the situation be turned around.Dou Zhao secretly vowed in his heart that he would have such power.

Episode 3

Song Mo bravely led his men to raid the Dongyu bandit's ship and successfully forced out that their base camp was located on Zhoudao.This victory refreshed Song Mo, and he immediately requested to attack Zhoudao, eager to leave his name in the history of Qing Dynasty.

The people of Futing were immersed in joy and laughter. When they heard that the Dingguo army had returned in triumph, they even lined the streets to welcome them.At this time, Marshal Song Mo had led his troops to capture Zhoudao and gained a lot.Yan Chaoqing suddenly came to report that Song Mo's father, British Duke Song Yichun, had arrived at the military camp.Song Yichun was kidnapped by Jiang Meisun for delaying military intelligence and was facing whipping.Just when Song Mo returned, he had made military exploits and was willing to accept them on his father's behalf.Under the pleading of everyone, Jiang Meisun ordered Song Mo to be whipped ten times, but he felt deeply heartbroken.He knew that Song Mo's raid on Zhoudao was actually to plead for his father.

When applying medicine to Song Mo, Jiang Meisun regretted marrying his sister to Song Yichun and revealed Song Mo's intentions.He lamented that his nephew had such a father.

On the other side, Zhao Si's daughter Zhao Zhangru prays for a good harvest and wealth every day.Dou Zhao did not believe this. She asserted that the pirates would be wiped out this year and they could take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.Zhao Zhangru teased Dou Zhao for being his daughter Zhuge, while Dou Zhao laughed at Zhao Zhang for not being able to find a good husband this year.While the two sisters were quarreling, the maid Su Su came to announce the good news, but due to the quarrel, the banknote fell into the water.

Su Su praised Dou Zhao for his clever calculation. The supplies he hoarded last year have increased in price this year.But Dou Zhao decided to sell all the goods and ships because she believed that after the pirates were eliminated, local officials would increase taxes and the business would be difficult to maintain.Zhao Zhangru believed in Dou Zhao's judgment.

At this time, the government suddenly sent someone to say that Dou Shiying was seriously ill and hoped that Dou Zhao could go back to visit.Dou Zhao was initially reluctant, but at the suggestion of her master Chen Qushui, she agreed.

When Song Mo returned home, he brought back a sword for his younger brother.However, Song Yichun was always dissatisfied with Song Mo, especially angry with Jiang Meisun's attitude.Jiang Huisun tried hard to persuade him to make peace and comfort his son.When Song Mo defended Jiang Meisun, Song Yichun questioned his identity.

Song Mo, who was in a depressed mood, came to the street and saw a warm scene of a father accompanying his children. Thinking of his treatment in front of his father, he felt lonely.

At this time, Dou Zhao also returned home.She saw that the guests were all the children of dignitaries, and she understood the purpose of this banquet.Dou Ming excitedly stepped forward to greet them, but Wang Yingxue urged them to meet the guests.Dou Zhao directly pointed out the truth today and expressed his attitude, unwilling to be used to build relationships.

At the banquet, Dou Zhao's sharp words satirized those who followed the trend.Her talent was appreciated by Wu Shan.

When Dou Zhao left the banquet, he found someone following him.She bought a mask and put it on, while Song Mo was also wearing a mask on the street.

Episode 4

In this theater, Dou Zhao and Song Mo met unexpectedly. They expressed their opinions across the screen and discussed the meaning of the play with great interest.Finally, unable to resist, he removed the screen and decided to compete to see who could understand the true meaning of the play more thoroughly.However, the play is neither a tragedy nor a happy ending. Song Mo's words reveal the entanglement between family and reason. After hearing this, Dou Zhao understood in his heart and advised him to separate public and private affairs, close the door to be a son, and open the door to discuss reason..

Questions were asked on the stage, and everyone watched. Dou Zhao guessed correctly one after another. Song Mo was surprised that he could even guess the weapons correctly. He couldn't help but suspect that he was a man disguised as a woman.Dou Zhao smiled and said that women are not inferior to men. Although the two of them are wearing masks, they seem to be able to understand each other's thoughts.Both of them could answer every question correctly, but for the last question, Song Mo's thoughts drifted away, thinking of the situation at home, the scene of a loving father and a filial son, which could only be seen in front of his younger brother and parents, and he felt like an outsider.During the hesitation, Song Mo lost the opportunity and lost the game.

Dou Zhao looked at Song Mo's leaving figure and guessed what he meant, so he asked Su Xin to send a reward lantern and a letter.After Song Mo read it, he was shocked to realize that Dou Zhao was such a transparent person.Yan Chaoqing came to look for it and saw the sachet ball on Song Mo's waist. He recalled that it had been accidentally scraped off Dou Zhao's body when he left, so he hurriedly took it off and wanted to return it later.

On the other side, Dou Zhao was kidnapped by Pang Kunbai and wanted to humiliate him. Fortunately, Dou Zhao had made arrangements and captured him.Yuantong suddenly arrived, kicked Pang Kunbai away, and urged him to leave.Su Xin was puzzled as to why Yuantong helped Zhou to do evil, but Yuantong had his own plans.

Pang Kunbai fled back in a hurry and reported to Wang Yingxue. It turned out that he was Wang Yingxue's nephew, and this matter was also arranged by Wang Yingxue.Yuantong took Dou Zhao and others to search Pang Kunbai in Wang Yingxue's room. Dou Zhao praised Yuantong for his greatness.Yuantong knew very well that even if he reported to the government, the official affairs would be reduced to minor problems due to the influence of the Wang family.Now that she was caught on the spot, Wang Yingxue had no way to quibble.

Dou Shiying angrily reprimanded Wang Yingxue, and Wang Yingxue burst into tears, telling her that she had devoted herself to the Dou family, and Dou Shiying had no choice but to comfort him.Dou Ming came to persuade him to make peace, and Dou Shiying left.Wang Yingxue said that her daughter was a coward and regretted her original decision. She mentioned that the dowry and life experience would be the basis for her daughter's future survival.Dou Ming cried bitterly and did not want her mother to take risks for her, but Wang Yingxue insisted on having her own way.

Dou Shiying chased him out, blaming himself for causing Dou Zhao to be wronged, but Dou Zhao remained calm and said that he was used to it.Dou Shiying looked at Dou Zhao's leaving figure, feeling even more guilty.

Yuantong stayed in Zhuangzi, and Dou Zhao personally cooked and entertained him.Talking about how they met, Dou Zhao recalled that monk Yong from the previous century had lied about meeting him in the temple.

Cui's condition worsened. Yuantong checked her pulse and said it was no serious problem. Under Dou Zhao's persuasion, Cui finally agreed to treatment and her condition gradually recovered.Dou Zhao was grateful to Yuantong and discussed life with him.Dou Zhao believes that people are mortal, and what matters is how they spend their time while alive.If you have spare time, help those around you.With memories of his past life popping up in his mind, Dou Zhao offered to learn medical skills from Yuantong, and Yuantong readily agreed.

Mrs. Cui felt comforted when she saw Ji Yong and Dou Zhao accompanying each other day and night, but she also knew that they were not meant for each other.Ji Yong decided to take the scientific examination and said goodbye to Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao didn't understand why he chose to cut off his hair and become a monk because of his talent.

The people lived in poverty. Song Mo led people to ransack the homes of corrupt officials and found a large amount of gold and silver.Some people were afraid of Song Mo's methods and took the initiative to hand over their belongings.Eunuch Ding was dissatisfied with what Song Mo did and complained to Jiang Meisun, but Jiang Meisun said that the people did not have enough to eat and could not care about many things.

Dou Zhao also arranged for people to build embankments to prevent them from bursting due to heavy rain.Cui was comforted and waiting in Zhuangzi, but Song Mo was hit by a carriage box while trying to save a little girl and fell into a coma.At the same time, Dou Zhao felt severe pain in his chest.

When Song Mo was in a coma, he dreamed of the girl wearing a mask and the flower behind her ear.After waking up, he saw the sachet ball and knew in his heart that the person in the dream must have saved his life.

When Dou Zhao was taking care of the refugees, he met Wu Shan, and the two looked at each other and smiled.That night, Dou Zhao dreamed of Song Mo and woke up from his dream.Suxin came to report that some strangers who claimed to be businessmen came to Zhuangzi, and Chen Qushui was worried about the disadvantage.Dou Zhao felt uneasy and asked Su Xin to invite Chen Qushui to come for discussion.

Episode 5

Jiang Meisun suddenly accepted the emperor's order and was urgently summoned back to Beijing.Song Mo was concerned about his uncle's injury, and while helping him tidy up his clothes, he asked Emperor Chen Qianhu about his true intentions.Chen Qianhu's expression flickered, while Jiang Meisun comforted Song Mo and told him to handle military affairs with peace of mind. He might have gone there for disaster relief.Jiang Meisun stepped out of the tent, and the generals knelt down to ask for instructions. He firmly ordered that disaster relief would continue regardless of wind or rain, and the livelihood of the people was the most important thing.

On the other side, Song Mo led the crowd into Dou Zhaozhuangzi. Chen Qushui recognized Yan Chaoqing and was worried that his former role as Zhang Kai's old subordinate would be exposed and affect Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao helped Chen Qushui up and reassured him that he didn't need to mention the past anymore.But Chen Qushui was still worried that he would put Zhuangzi in danger, especially since Yan Chaoqing came with his son, there must be deep meaning.

Dou Zhao recalled the records about the child in the Zhao Shi Lu and concluded that this was after Ding Guogong, and that the boy who was respected by everyone was the crown prince Song Mo.Chen Qushui became even more frightened after hearing this and wanted to die to apologize, but was stopped by Dou Zhao.

At this time, Song Mo was holding Jiang Meisun's son and listening to Yan Chaoqing's report. He had doubts about Chen Qushui and his party, and wanted to eradicate the problem in order to protect the child.When Dou Zhao and others wanted to evacuate, they were surrounded by Song Mo. She lied about her identity as a court lady, but Song Mo found out.Song Mo pointed his sword at Dou Zhao, and the atmosphere was tense.Dou Zhao was calm and composed, looking at Song Mo, recalling all the things in his past life, and calling him by his name.Although Song Mo was surprised, he had no time to think too much.

Just when Song Mo was about to take action, Dou Zhaofang successfully delayed time by using the nanny and the child as bait.Dou Zhao showed that he had no intention of harming children and only wanted to gain opportunities for dialogue.During the conversation between the two parties, Dou Zhao and Chen Qushui analyzed the situation, guessed the emperor's heart, and proposed strategies to break the situation.Song Mo became more and more curious about Dou Zhao's identity and resourcefulness.

When the child cried, Dou Zhao fed him goat milk, and everyone was surprised by his knowledge of child care.Song Mo didn't understand why Dou Zhao took the risk of getting involved in this matter, but Dou Zhao admitted that he only wanted to save someone's life.At this time, Master Tan and his crowd arrived, thanked the Duke of Guo and expressed his willingness to vouch for Dou Zhao.Seeing this, Song Mo informed Dou Zhao that Zhuangzi was safe.

The next day, Dou Zhao saw Song Mo playing with a girl, looking completely different from the cold look he had last night.The two people's eyes met and they both recalled last night's negotiation.Song Mo wanted to take Chen Qushui away as a hostage, while Dou Zhao asked Yan Chaoqing to stay. Both sides insisted on their own opinions and finally reached an exchange agreement.

After Song Mo left, he sent someone to investigate Dou Zhao and learned that he was abandoned by his family in the farm, but the people around him were not ordinary people.Song Mo did not believe in the theory of rejection and believed that Dou Zhao was extremely intelligent and could not be compared with ordinary women.

Dou Zhao relaxed and drank several glasses of water.If she had a choice, she didn't want to face Song Mo's penetrating eyes again.At this time, An Susu and Zhao Zhangru came to visit and talked about Cui's request for merit for the people, which made Dou Zhao feel happy.

Wang Yingxue sent desserts to Dou Shiying in an attempt to please Dou Ming, but was ignored by Dou Shiying.Dou Shiying proposed to take her mother to live with her after she was sealed. Wang Yingxue agreed on the surface, but felt jealous in her heart.

Dou Zhao offered advice to Song Mo, asking him to create differences in the court and impeach Jiang Meisun respectively to prove his innocence.However, Dou Shishu had a conflict with Elder Wu Ge in the court and was ordered to take a leave of absence.Song Mo searched for Mr. Wu Ge but failed, and passed by Dou Shishu.

Episode 6

Uncle Yunyang visited Song Mo and learned that there was a think tank behind him to help him, and he also helped a lot.He noticed the sachet on Song Mo's body and concluded that it was a gift from his sweetheart. He immediately expressed his willingness to help Song Mo propose a marriage and reassured him that there would be no problem with Duke Ding.However, Song Mo was still worried inside.

Song Mo learned about Dou Shishu's remarks in court from Mr. Wu Ge, and became suspicious of the Dou family because of Mr. Wu Ge's hint.Guards Lu Zheng and Lu Ming even speculated that Dou Zhao had insight into the affairs of the court, or had used the Dou family as pawns, and even worried that they themselves would be manipulated by him.Although Song Mo was worried, he could only wait for the situation to develop.

Dou Shishu was dissatisfied because he was ordered to rest. In order to consolidate his power in the court, he sought Wang Yingxue's cooperation in order to promote two marriages.Wang Yingxue understood its meaning, readily agreed, and immediately started preparations.She believed that although Dou Ming's status was slightly inferior to that of Wei Tingyu's wife, Wei Tingyu was not engaged in a serious career and his family was in decline, and his sister also married into an ordinary family.

After Wei Tingzhen received the invitation, she found Wei Tingyu in a brothel and asked her to go to Dou's house for a blind date.Wei Tingyu was dissatisfied when he first heard Dou Zhao's vulgar reputation, but under Wei Tingzhen's persuasion, he reluctantly agreed to go to the appointment.

When Dou Zhao heard that Wei Tingyu was coming, he recalled his past grudges and vowed to settle old accounts.Wei Tingyu felt fearful when he first met Dou Ming's gentleness, and when he saw Dou Zhao's boldness again.Dou Zhao deliberately showed an attitude that was contrary to Wei Tingyu, causing him to retreat when he saw difficulties.Dou Ming wanted to imitate Dou Zhao in archery, but was scolded by Wang Yingxue.Wu Shan came to help and hit the target.

Dou Zhao deliberately provoked Wei Tingyu to shoot arrows. Wei Tingyu showed off his skills in front of Dou Ming, but failed repeatedly.Dou Zhao shot an arrow according to Wei Tingyu's instructions, and hit the target with one hit. The irony was beyond words.Wei Tingyu wanted to break off the engagement but had no reason.

Dou Ming blames himself for being incompetent, but Wei Tingyu comforts him by saying that branches and arrows have their own uses, and takes the opportunity to get close to Dou Ming.Dou Ming fled shyly.

Dou Ming and Dou Zhao both embroidered tiger charms, but Dou Zhao deliberately made them shoddily in order to lose to Dou Ming.Wei Tingyu was dissatisfied with taking over Dou Ming's embroidery, but envied Wu Shan's embroidery by Dou Zhao.

Wang Yingxue arranged the butterfly fighting activity in order to bring Dou Ming and Wu Shan together.However, the butterfly came straight to Wu Shan, causing chaos.

Dou Zhao's dress was stained by the maid in the kitchen, and he was dragged to the room by his nanny to change clothes.Dou Ming wanted to follow, but was stopped.Dou Zhao was suspicious, broke into the room, and found Wu Shan unconscious, wearing the tiger charm he made, and with a red rash.Dou Zhao recalled the record in Zhao Shi Lu that Wu Shan was going to die on this day and slapped his grandmother angrily.

At this time, Song Mo led his troops to carry rice dumplings to Dou Mansion, exposed the fact that gold was hidden in the rice dumplings, and warned Dou Shishu not to frame Jiang Meisun again.Just as Wu Shan was being carried to an open space, Song Mo rushed there in a hurry, thinking that someone was harming him.Dou Zhao asked Song Mo to believe that he could save Wu Shan, and Song Mo ordered the guards to surround the screen for protection and strictly prohibit peeping.

Everyone was afraid of Song Mo's power and did not dare to disobey.Dai Jian angrily accused Song Mo of being disobedient, and Dou Shishu also accused him of being domineering in the Dou Mansion.However, Song Mo argued hard and refused to give in.Wu Shan vomited blood, Wang Yingxue accused Dou Zhao of harming the Dou family, and Dou Shishu and Dai Jian blamed Song Mo.

Episode 7

Dai Jian testified and accused Song Mo of trespassing in residential buildings and blamed Song Mo for all the crimes.At this time, Cui and Dou Shiying arrived at the scene. Cui implored Song Mo to recognize the reality and not let good intentions harm Jiang Meisun.Song Mo immediately apologized to Cui. Although the matter could not be heard publicly, he had some understanding.Then, Cui turned to Dai Jian, hoping that he would avoid disputes for his own sake. Dai Jian then compromised and stopped arguing with Song Mo.

When Wu Shan vomited blood again, the doctor arrived in time. After diagnosis, it was confirmed that Wu Shan was in good health, thanks to Dou Zhao's timely rescue.Wu Shan was deeply grateful for this, but Song Mo questioned it, believing that there was another hidden cause of Wu Shan's illness.Wu Shan explained that he was infected with lung disease during disaster relief. The recurrence was due to the Papilio butterfly incident, which was purely accidental and had nothing to do with Dou Zhao.After hearing this, Song Mo was noncommittal, arranged for someone to send Wu Shan back, and took the opportunity to take away the tiger charm from his waist.

When no one was around, Song Mo asked Dou Zhao whether the tiger talisman had any hidden secrets. Dou Zhao hurriedly explained that since Wu Shan had been rescued, it proved that she had no ill intentions.However, Song Mo didn't believe it and looked directly at Dou Zhao, which made her a little flustered. Song Mo saw through the lie.Song Mo reminded Dou Zhao that she owed him an explanation.

Dou Zhao held the tiger talisman and questioned Wang Yingxue, asking her to explain clearly.She discovered that the tiger charm was soaked in drugs in order to solidify her relationship with Wei Tingyu.But Dou Zhao firmly stated that he would not marry Wei Tingyu.Wang Yingxue pretended to be confused and claimed that she had no knowledge, but emphasized that Wu Shan was her carefully selected husband for Dou Ming and did not allow Dou Zhao to interfere.Dou Zhao had no choice but to accept the fate of marrying Wei Tingyu.

Wei Tingyu kept complaining about his dissatisfaction with Dou Zhao on the way home, but Wei Tingzhen believed that marrying a wife should be able to subsidize the family, and they currently only have an empty reputation.And Dou Zhao's marriage will bring a generous dowry. If you don't like it, you can take a concubine.Wei Tingyu couldn't bear the disturbance and finally agreed to marry Dou Zhao.

When Song Mo visited Wu Shan, Wu Shan blamed him for not doubting Dou Zhao because Dou Zhao was his savior.But Song Mo knew that although Dou Zhao had nothing to do with the matter, he chose to conceal the truth.He believed that the Dou family was not simple, and advised Wu Shan not to get involved in the Dou family's affairs.However, Wu Shan thought that Dou Zhao might be interested in him, and he was secretly happy.Seeing that he could not convince Wu Shan, Song Mo could only shake his head helplessly.

After Song Mo returned home, he told Jiang Huisun what happened in the Dou family and expressed his concerns about Dou Shishu's greed for power.But Jiang Huisun held a different view. She believed that Dou Zhao had been excluded since childhood and there was nothing wrong with thinking too much about self-preservation.At this time, Lu Ming and Lu Zheng came to report and found out that the incident with Phoenix Butterfly had nothing to do with Dou Zhao, which also confirmed Song Mo's guess.

Dou Zhao knelt in front of her father and Dou Shishu, begging them not to let her marry Wei Tingyu.However, Dou Shishu slapped her hard.Although Dou Shiying was dissatisfied with Dou Shishu's behavior, he did not dare to take charge of the marriage.Dou Zhao blamed his father for being cowardly. At this time, Cui came to reprimand his two sons for forcing Dou Zhao.Unexpectedly, Dou Shishu accused his mother of raising Dou Zhao to harm the Dou family.

When Ms. Cui was sad, Wang Yingxue sent a commendation order, which made Ms. Cui mistakenly believe that Dou Shiying's move was to get her to agree to Dou Zhao's marriage.In anger, Ms. Cui left with Dou Zhao and said she would never come back to live with him again.Wang Yingxue pretended to chase, but Dou Shiying wanted to catch up but was stopped by Dou Shishu, who also persuaded him not to be angry with the splint.

Dou Zhao saw through Wang Yingxue's plan and warned her not to hurt Cui, otherwise she would be heartbroken a hundred times.Ms. Cui felt sorry for Dou Zhao being beaten and regretted not beating him back at that time.She touched Dou Zhao's face and cried, while Dou Zhao comforted his grandmother and asked about Cui's youth.Cui told about her unhappy marriage and the evil deeds of the Dou family, and Dou Zhao was very angry after hearing this.

Wu Shan came specifically to thank Dou Zhao for his life-saving grace and expressed his willingness to marry her.But Dou Zhao doesn't mind this. She thinks that the family backgrounds of the two families do not match, and she likes her current free life.Wu Shan seemed to understand everything about Dou Zhao. He told about his love for Dou Zhao, took off his shoes and sat next to Dou Zhao, and put his feet into the water.He said that he would protect Dou Zhao with all his strength and prevent her from being bound by the world, but Dou Zhao did not want him to pay too much for himself.Wu Shan presented Dou Zhao with a handmade object as a souvenir.

Zhao Zhangru thought that Wu Shan was very attentive to Dou Zhao and asked Dou Zhao if he had ever been tempted.

Dou Zhao secretly sighed in his heart, it is easy to be emotional, but it is equally easy to get hurt.At this time, Dou Ming sent a letter inviting her to meet on a full moon night.Dou Zhao suddenly felt that Dou Ming was not as hypocritical as she had thought before.

When Dou Ming was writing, she found that the texture of the paper was different from before. This reminded her that Wei Tingyu once mentioned that tree bark can also be used to make paper.This discovery made Dou Ming develop feelings for Wei Tingyu.

Dou Shishu's memorial was rejected, and he had to go to Wu Ge's hometown to present it in person. However, he received a cold reception from Mr. Wu Ge and the memorial was thrown to the ground.Seeing this, Wang Xingyi picked up the memorial for Dou Shishu, and gave Dou Shishu a few reminders out of kindness for Wang Yingxue and Dou Shiying.

The emperor sent a shadow guard to take Jiang Meisun to the court, which relieved Song Mo a little.He believed that as long as the emperor could meet Jiang Meisun, his uncle might be able to return safely.So, he went to visit his uncle with medicine for his wounds, but found that the sedan was empty.Later, he and Uncle Yunyang came to the boat, but still there was no sign of his uncle.The two realized that something was wrong. Uncle Yunyang deliberately made a noise to attract everyone's attention. Song Mo took the opportunity to sneak into the cabin, but only saw his uncle's body.Jiyingwei claimed that he encountered pirates, but Song Mo looked at his wounds and it was obvious that this was not the case.He was so distraught that he knelt in front of his uncle and blamed himself.He took off half of his uncle's ruler and hung it around his waist, vowing to seek justice for his uncle.He captured the father-in-law of the Shadow Guard and went to the palace together to demand an explanation from the emperor.

At this time, the emperor and the queen were paying homage to their ancestors. Song Mo suddenly broke in, knelt in front of the emperor, and asked why Jiang Meisun was killed.The emperor expressed shock and denial. He had been waiting for Jiang Meisun's reply and would never allow anyone to harm him.Song Mo took out the waist badge as evidence, which was an old possession of the emperor.

Episode 8

The emperor took the broken ruler tremblingly, with tears falling down his cheeks as he recalled his youthful days with Jiang Meisun.At that time, they acted recklessly, and Jiang Meisun always suffered all punishments silently.The emperor deeply felt that Jiang Meisun was his lucky star. He once gave him half a ruler and made an oath as written in an elixir, promising never to break it.However, facing Song Mo's questioning, the emperor was heartbroken. He vowed to find out the real culprit who murdered Jiang Meisun and never let anyone go.In the excitement, the emperor vomited blood and fainted, and Song Mo was also ordered to be imprisoned by the queen.

Song Yichun informed Jiang Huisun, who was seriously ill, about the matter. Although the emperor woke up, he was not convicted. Everyone could only place their hope in the emperor's intentions.Jiang Huisun became anxious and her condition became more serious.

When Yan Chaoqing and others learned about Song Mo's experience, they were furious and wanted to blame the Dou family.Dou Zhao appeared and analyzed calmly, pointing out that rash action at this time will only be counterproductive.She suggested waiting for the opportunity and using the resources at hand to find out the news.Although Yan Chaoqing and others were unwilling, they had to admit that Dou Zhaoyan was right and begged her to help.

Dou Zhao took Yan Chaoqing and others to her printing and dyeing factory, which is not only a paper supply place, but also a news distribution center.She believed that as long as she could find out the whereabouts of the emperor, the problem would be solved.At the same time, she has also arranged for people to secretly protect Song Mo.

The appearance of Uncle Yunyang made Wang Ge dare not act rashly against Song Mo.And all this was within Dou Zhao's expectation.She passed the note and allowed Uncle Yunyang to enter the cell smoothly and meet Song Mo.

Song Mo bribed his father-in-law and learned that the emperor had only seen Mr. Wu Ge recently and often stared at the ruler in a daze.Yan Chaoqing and others waited anxiously, but saw no results, and wanted to ask Dou Zhao to hold him accountable.Dou Zhao outwitted Yan Chaoqing and others and temporarily imprisoned them to prevent them from acting impulsively.

The emperor summoned Dou Shishu and asked how to deal with Song Mo.Dou Shishu observed the situation and knew that the emperor intended to pardon Song Mo, so he followed the trend and praised Song Mo as the pillar of the country.The emperor handed the matter over to Dou Shishu and praised him for his responsibility.

Finally, Song Mo was pardoned and released.Dou Zhao greeted him with fireworks and put a cloak on him.Song Mo was grateful and knew that he could regain his freedom only because of Dou Zhao's help.Yan Chaoqing and others apologized to Song Mo. Although Song Mo reprimanded them, he also let them go back.

Song Mo returned home and was greeted by his younger brother.In front of his parents' door, he overheard their conversation and knew that the family was in a difficult situation.Jiang Huisun felt sorry for Song Mo and advised him to find a caring person.Song Mo was distracted and thought of the masked girl and her red flowers.Jiang Huisun guessed that his crush was Dou Zhao. Although Song Mo did not admit it, his heart was filled with ripples.

Jiang Huisun told Song Mo that because of Dou Shishu, Mr. Wu Ge was unwilling to marry the Dou family.Wu Shan was trapped by love and had a high fever, which made Elder Wu Ge worried.Song Mo didn't expect Wu Shan to have such a deep affection for Dou Zhao, and he felt mixed feelings in his heart.

Just when everyone was worried about Wu Shan, Doctor Li's carriage had arrived at the door.However, the person pretending to be Dr. Li was actually Dou Zhao.This sudden change caught everyone off guard.

Episode 9

Wu Ge Lao rebuked his grandson angrily, believing that the imperial power was supreme, but he hid in his room every day doing carpentry, and could not protect Wu Shan from the wind and rain at all.In anger, Mr. Wu Ge broke Wu Shan's woodwork.At this time, the servant informed that Dr. Li was visiting. Mr. Wu Ge suppressed his anger and ordered Dr. Li to come in.However, Wu Shan refused to see a doctor.The servant took out a wooden box and told Wu Shan that Dr. Li said that if he didn't see her, he would take out the box.Wu Shan looked back and recognized that it was the carpentry gift he had given to Dou Zhao.

On the other side, Song Mo carefully prepared wine and food to see Chen Qushui off.Yan Chaoqing and Song Mo both knew that Chen Qushui was talented, but they didn't understand why he was willing to succumb to Dou Zhao.Chen Qushui admitted that he was guilty, but Dou Zhao did not dislike him and accepted him as an aide so that he could spend his old age in peace.This made Song Mo even more curious about Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao enlightened Wu Shan that important matters concerning marriage should not be taken lightly.Although men and women are different, Dou Zhao's thoughts are the same as Wu Shan's, and he doesn't want to be with someone he doesn't like.Wu Shan explained that he was not ill to coerce Dou Zhao, but because he was assigned errands by his grandfather and could not make free choices, so how could he protect himself.He had respected his grandfather since he was a child and had never disobeyed him, except when it came to marriage.Dou Zhao advised that if Wu Shan could help his grandfather mediate in the court, his grandfather would naturally not have to worry about his marriage and could revitalize the Wu family with his own abilities.Wu Shan suddenly realized after hearing this.When Dou Zhao left, Wu Shan hoped to see her again, but Dou Zhao only wished that he could live a happy life, which reassured her more than seeing her.

Su Lan came to pick up Chen Qushui, which made Song Mo a little confused as to why Dou Zhao didn't come in person.At this time, Dr. Li was brought back by Lu Ming. He was originally invited by Song Mo to treat Wu Shan, but was cleverly arranged by Dou Zhao.Lu Ming caught Su Xin, and Song Mo ordered Lu Ming to invite Dou Zhao over.

When Dou Zhao left, he happened to meet Mr. Wu Ge.Because she was wearing a big cloak, Mr. Wu Ge did not recognize her, but he was suspicious and ordered her to turn around.When Dou Zhao was at a loss, Lu Ming arrived and claimed to ask Dr. Li to see Song Mo.Mr. Wu Ge did not force her and let her go.

Wu Shan returned to the room and stared at the wooden bird Dou Zhao brought in a daze.Mr. Wu Ge was sure that it was Dou Zhao who just came, and persuaded Wu Shan to feel at ease.Wu Shan apologized to his grandfather and spoke his mind.Everything he had in the past was arranged by his grandfather. He envied Dou Zhao and Song Mo's freedom, but he also understood that the court was in deep trouble and the Wu family relied on his grandfather for support.He hopes to work hard and help his grandfather overcome the difficulties.After hearing this, Mr. Wu Ge had tears in his eyes and helped Wu Shan up.

Song Mo learned that the imperial court had attacked the Dingguo army and that the person delivering the order was Dou Shishu, and he suspected that Dou Zhao was holding him back.He ordered people to intercept Dou Zhao for questioning and needed an explanation.Dou Zhao knew that he could not explain clearly, so Song Mo did not return Chen Qushui, but only returned Su Xin to her.

Su Xin was puzzled as to why Dou Zhao did not explain. Dou Zhao shook his head and said that there was no evidence and it was difficult to explain the coincidence.Lu Ming was also dissatisfied with Dou Zhao's scheming and suggested that he marry Dou Zhao and take care of him.But Song Mo believed that this matter might have nothing to do with Dou Zhao.

Song Mo has been asking about the people who escorted Jiang Meisun back to the palace from the Jiying Guards, and learned that there were nine Lu Yin, but there were only eight people who died on the ship, and the youngest one was named Chen Jia.Chen Jia was kicked out of the Shadow Guard because he liked gambling, but his adoptive father valued his ability and kept him by his side.After his adoptive father was killed, he escaped by diving and indulged in gambling every day.After Song Mo found him, he forced him to tell the truth, and Chen Jia was willing to follow Song Mo to avenge his adopted father.

Ji Yong wrote a letter saying that people from the Shipping Department had seized An Su's ship and asked to cut off business dealings with Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao realized that the matter might involve the court and decided to go to Futing in person to understand the situation.Song Mo also rushed to Futing to investigate the cause of Jiang Meisun's death.

While resting on the way, Dou Zhao was worried, and An Su persuaded her to eat something.In order not to worry Mrs. Cui, Dou Zhao did not tell her when he went out, but asked the maid to pretend that she had smallpox and pretend to be sick.Zhao Zhangru was covering from the side.

Futing was full of refugees, and Dou Zhao and his maid distributed food as soon as they arrived.Because the people used to grow tea, but after the death of Duke Dingguo, the ship was stopped and the tea could not be sold, and the people were miserable.

Ding Wei, the general manager of the Municipal Shipping Department, forced An Su and Dou Zhao to sign a confession pleading guilty to colluding with pirates. If they did not plead guilty, the crime would be increased to one level.Dou Zhao accused Ding Wei that he would not be able to take responsibility if it resulted in a serious crime, but Ding Wei took out the weapons and claimed that they were found on the ship, which was obviously a frame-up.Dou Zhao asked for witnesses, but Ding said that he could not produce witnesses, so he still sent Dou Zhao and An Su to prison for torture.

Dou Zhao knew that Ding Wei did not dare to torture in the hall because he was afraid of being criticized by the people.Ding Wei told Dou Zhao that Ansu had already confessed everything. If Dou Zhao didn't confess, don't blame him for dragging others into the trap.But Dou Zhao believes that An Su is the only one who will not betray her.

When Ding Wei was about to continue the torture, Song Mo arrived and satirized Ding Wei that his methods were too poor to get anyone to confess.Ding Wei knew that Song Mo's methods were vicious, so he simply asked Song Mo to interrogate him.In his opinion, Song Mo and Dou Zhao were at odds, and Song Mo had a distinguished status, so he simply sold him a favor and let Song Mo interrogate Dou Zhao alone.

Song Mo suspected that Dou Zhao and Dou Shishu had conspired and asked Dou Zhao to give an explanation.Dou Zhao just hoped not to confuse him with Dou Shishu.Song Mo pretended to torture Dou Zhao, but he was actually using powder to treat golden sores on his hands.For fear of being discovered, Song Mo also whispered to Dou Zhao to scream twice.Dou Zhao pretended to shout, which made Ding Wei even more certain that Song Mo was a cruel person.

Song Mo continued to ask Dou Zhao why she had known for a long time that she could eliminate pirates and made a lot of money by buying ships.Dou Zhao explained that because of Jiang Meisun's prowess, it was only a matter of time before the pirates were eliminated.But Song Mo didn't believe this and continued to ask.I learned from An Su that Dou Zhao sold all his ships at the beginning of the year. He seemed to have known what would happen and that Jiang Meisun would die.Dou Zhao found it difficult to explain this.

Episode 10

Dou Zhao only gave a simple reply to Song Mo's inquiry, but Song Mo could see the turmoil in her heart, and those unspoken words were obviously related to him.He was confused and didn't understand why Dou Zhao chose to hide it.Dou Zhao approached him and promised softly that if he could get out alive, he would confess everything to him.Song Mo chose trust.At this time, Ji Yong walked into the cell holding a token and asked to visit Miao Ansu and Dou Zhao.

Ji Yong's task is to take over the cases of Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu.As soon as he arrived at the scene, he saw that Song Mo was not a dull person and would definitely be able to discern Dou Zhao's injustice.At the same time, he also noticed that Ding Wei was peeping in secret, so he deliberately clashed with Song Mo and pretended to be injured, which aroused Ding Wei's excitement and expected both sides to lose.He then ordered people to monitor the prison while he quietly left.After it was confirmed that Ding Wei had left, Ji Yong checked Dou Zhao's injuries and found that someone had already applied medicine to her. He guessed that it was Song Mo who did it, but he still applied medicine to Dou Zhao himself, showing that he had a close relationship with Dou Zhao.The two claimed to be childhood sweethearts, something Song Mo couldn't compare to.This made Song Mo feel slightly unhappy.

Lu Zheng and Lu Ming peeked outside and saw Ji Yong entering the cell, and began to regret not being able to stop it.Lu Ming noticed Song Mo's affection for Dou Zhao and worried that Ji Yong would conflict with Song Mo because of Dou Zhao.

In the cell, Song Mo, Dou Zhao and Ji Yong discussed the situation. Song Mo decided to board the boat to explore the truth and clear the grievances of Ding Guogong.Dou Zhao also insisted on going together to seek innocence for the Miao family.Seeing this, Ji Yong decided to pretend to cater to Ding Wei, took the token from the banquet, and gave it to Song and Mo.He warned Song Mo not to become a burden.

Song Mo and Dou Zhao came to the ship with their tokens, but the guard refused to let them board the ship because of Ding Wei's order.Just as Song Mo was about to break in, Dou Zhao suddenly cried and lied that there were newly bought jewelry on the ship.Song Mo took the opportunity to bribe, and the guard secretly let him go, and arranged for someone to board the ship to search for him.The guards believed that Song Mo was a womanizer who would do anything for women.

Song Mo and Dou Zhao hugged each other and boarded the boat. Song Mo felt that even a real couple didn't have to be so close, but in order to hide from others, he simply hugged Dou Zhao tightly in his arms.Dou Zhao was a little shy, and even the guards following him were embarrassed to look directly at him.

Under the cabin, Song Mo knocked out the guard and searched for clues with Dou Zhao.When they were searching across the board, they accidentally saw each other. They instantly remembered the man wearing the mask and recognized each other. Their friendship deepened again.

The steward patrolled down to the boat. When he heard that Song Mo had brought a woman on the boat, he immediately followed her to search for her and ordered that if she encountered anyone, she would be killed without mercy.However, Song Mo killed the manager instead.The steward shot an arrow to attack Dou Zhao, and Dou Zhao recalled the scene in his previous life when Song Mo was hit by an arrow when he was protecting her.At this time, Song Mofei rushed over, hugged Dou Zhao and jumped into the water.

After Ding Wei woke up, he learned that Dou Zhao and Song Mo were on the boat. He did not dare to go and ordered his men to prepare a carriage and escape.After Dou Zhao and Song Mo came out of the water, they lit a bonfire to dry their clothes.Dou Zhao saw Song Mo injured and took the initiative to bandage his wound.Song Mo asked Dou Zhao if he had seen the play. Dou Zhao thought of that play and the scene when Song Mo blocked his sword in his previous life. He felt sad and denied that he had seen it.

Song Mo was stopped by Lu Ming and Lu Zheng while escaping.At the same time, Su Xin was ordered to come to the prison and kidnap Miao Ansu.The detainees wanted to stop him, but Ji Yong and Dou Zhao arrived and exposed Ding Wei's crime.Just as everyone was about to leave, the manager suddenly appeared and caught Dou Zhao and threatened him.

Song Mo tied up Ding Wei and asked him who was the mastermind behind it.Ding Wei warned Song Mo not to compromise his future.But Song Mo didn't believe Ding Wei's words and believed that he was instigated by others.He guessed the person behind it. As long as Ding Wei's muscles reacted, he could guess the truth.Ding Wei bit off his tongue in order to keep it secret.

That night, Ding Wei and Song Mo waited for the manager to kidnap Dou Zhao for exchange.Song Mo said that Dou Zhao was just a pawn he was using, and pretended to shoot her to confuse the supervisor. In fact, he only scratched her earring and shot the supervisor behind him.

Song Mo untied Dou Zhao and felt guilty for getting her involved in the matter.Dou Zhao said he was fine.Song Mo was surprised that Dou Zhao was still so calm even after being shot by arrows twice in two days. Dou Zhao explained that he had experienced this in his dream.At this time, there were sounds of fighting outside.

Song Mo escaped from the fire with Dou Zhao and wrapped the two of them in blankets.He hopes that if he can get out alive, Dou Zhao can tell him her dream the next time they meet.Song Mo had already arranged for people to catch the people who came to rescue Ding Wei, and asked them to reveal the mastermind.However, Eunuch Wang suddenly arrived, took over the scene, and ordered everyone to be killed.

Eunuch Wang read out the imperial edict, placing all the blame on Ding Wei, and scolded Song Mo for obstructing official duties.He requested that Song Mo be escorted back to Beijing.Song Mo angrily asked Eunuch Wang why he killed people and silenced them. Why did the emperor order the execution of these people when he knew that there was a secret behind Duke Ding's death.Eunuch Wang said that he had no choice, but advised Song Mo that he still had a choice.At this time, Dou Zhao witnessed everything and felt sorry for Song Mo.

Song Mo looked at the Yuanyang knife in his hand and remembered that the emperor had given this knife to Jiang Meisun, and Jiang Meisun gave it to himself.Song Mo was heartbroken and decided not to serve the emperor anymore. He threw away the Yuanyang Sword and planned to become a traitor.He handed Dou Zhao a voucher for picking up the ship, hoping not to meet him again in the future.Dou Zhao turned around and left, but remembered the scene when Song Mo died for her in his previous life.She turned around and looked at Song Mo's back, feeling mixed emotions in her heart.

‌Rewritten version 2‌:

Facing Song Mo's questioning, Dou Zhao only gave a simple answer, but Song Mo was keenly aware of her inner struggle, and those unsaid words were obviously related to him.He wondered why Dou Zhao chose to hide it, but Dou Zhao approached him and promised softly that if he could get out alive, he would tell him everything.At this time, Ji Yong walked into the cell with a token and asked to visit Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu.

Ji Yong's task was to take over the case of Dou Zhao and Miao Ansu. As soon as he arrived on the scene, he could see that Song Mo was not an ordinary person, and he would definitely be able to see Dou Zhao's injustice.At the same time, he also discovered that Ding Wei was secretly monitoring, so he deliberately clashed with Song Mo and pretended to be injured, which aroused Ding Wei's excitement and expected the two sides to fight to the death.He then ordered people to monitor the prison while he quietly left.After it was confirmed that Ding Wei had left, Ji Yong found that Dou Zhao's wound had been treated by someone. He guessed that it was Song Mo who did it, but he still applied medicine to Dou Zhao himself and showed that he had a very close relationship with Dou Zhao, claiming that they were twoGrowing up together since childhood is something Song Mo can't compare to.This made Song Mo feel a little unhappy.

Lu Zheng and Lu Ming peeked outside and saw Ji Yong entering the cell, and began to regret not being able to stop it.Lu Ming saw Song Mo's affection for Dou Zhao and worried that Ji Yong would conflict with Song Mo because of Dou Zhao.

In the cell, Song Mo, Dou Zhao and Ji Yong discussed the situation. Song Mo decided to risk boarding the ship to explore the truth and clear the grievances of Duke Ding.Dou Zhao also insisted on going together to seek innocence for the Miao family.Seeing this, Ji Yong decided to pretend to cater to Ding Wei, took the token from the banquet, and gave it to Song and Mo.He warned Song Mo not to hold back.

Song Mo and Dou Zhao came to the ship with their tokens, but the guard refused to let them board the ship because of Ding Wei's order.Just as Song Mo was about to break in, Dou Zhao suddenly cried and lied that his jewelry was on the boat.Song Mo took the opportunity to deliver the money, and the guard secretly let him go and arranged for someone to board the boat to search for him.The guards believed that Song Mo was a lecher who would do anything for a woman.

Song Mo and Dou Zhao hugged each other and boarded the boat. Song Mo felt that such an intimate gesture was not necessary even for a real couple, but in order to cover up others' eyes, he simply held Dou Zhao tightly in his arms.Dou Zhao was a little shy, and even the guards following him were embarrassed to look directly at him.

Under the cabin, Song Mo knocked out the guard and searched for clues with Dou Zhao.As they were searching across the board, they accidentally saw each other, instantly remembered the masked man and recognized each other.This made the two people's good feelings deepen again.

Episode 11

After all, Dou Zhao couldn't make up her mind to leave. She turned around and tried to persuade Song Mo, with sarcasm in her words that Song Mo was not as good as Jiang Meisun.Later, Dou Zhao put down a small boat carrying prayers on the water to see Jiang Meisun off, and admitted that his prosperity in this life was all because of Jiang Meisun.She firmly believed that His Majesty had a clear vision in his heart, but due to the current situation, he could not express it clearly. She advised Song Mo to also maintain trust in His Majesty.Dou Zhao believes that a truly strong man should know how to hide his strength and bide his time. Although Lord Ding has passed away, his peace and achievements will always be remembered in the hearts of the people.She solemnly told Song Mo that from today on, Song Mo is the new Jiang Meisun.

Chen Jia brought back news from the palace. His Majesty often talked to himself in front of the ruler. He felt guilty for Song Mo. He also knew that Duke Ding was wronged, but he closed the case hastily.Song Mo was caught by Dou Zhaoyan again, and he wondered who could allow His Majesty to protect him like this. He even speculated that this might be a deliberate concealment to protect the princelings.He asked Chen Jia about the movements of other princes when Ding Guogong was escorted back, and learned that only the prince and Prince Qing came to visit.At this time, an urgent report came from the military camp. Song Mo grabbed the Yuanyang sword and hurried there.

The morale in the military camp was low, and everyone either wanted to rebel or become bandits.Song Mo arrived in time to stop everyone's nonsense and learned that he had been dismissed from the military.However, the soldiers still respected Song Mo and hoped to continue to follow him and avenge Ding Guogong.Song Mo announced the disbandment of the Dingguo Army, but privately summoned his confidants and planned to turn into secret guards to wait for the opportunity.

The merchant ship was seized and the goods were damaged. Creditors flocked to Miao Ansu's house.Fortunately, Dou Zhao and Ji Yong arrived in time. Ji Yong threatened everyone with the law, while Dou Zhao mortgaged his bracelet to the government and promised to pay off the debt within ten days.

Miao Ansu felt uneasy and wanted to sell all the stores to redeem the bracelet, but Dou Zhao believed that Miao Ansu's value far exceeded money, and believed that his mother would be happy if she knew the purpose of the bracelet.Miao Ansu was willing to spend all his dowry to pay off the debt, but did not want to implicate Dou Zhao.His father was worried about the cost of his son's scientific examination in Anping, but Miao Ansu only thought about Dou Zhao and believed that his wealth came from Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao came after hearing the news and stopped the use of dowry to cover the debt.

Wang Yingxue came to visit with gifts and insisted on seeing Dou Zhao.Zhao Zhangru tried to stop him, but was denounced as having no right to take charge.Cui appeared in time and reprimanded Wang Yingxue.Wang Yingxue claimed to be bringing the statue to bless Dou Zhao, and wanted to lift the curtain to see, but Su Xin stopped her.Cui drove Wang Yingxue away on the grounds of smallpox.But Wang Yingxue had already seen from that hand that the person behind the curtain was not Dou Zhao.

Mrs. Cui also knew the truth. Under questioning, Zhao Zhangru told Dou Zhao about going to Futing.Wang Yingxue informed Dou Shiying of the matter. At this time, the Jining Marquis Mansion sent a greeting card, hoping to attend the banquet together.Dou Shiying wanted to refuse, but Wang Yingxue believed that this was a matter of proposing marriage and took the initiative to ask Ying to go.Dou Shiying reluctantly agreed.

Dou Zhao discovered that potatoes sprouted. Although they were not edible, they could be grown.She asked Miao Ansu to buy land to grow potatoes to meet her urgent need.Ji Yong also brought good news. He wrote to the court and suggested nationalizing the shipping trade.The Ministry of Industry adopted its suggestion and purchased civilian ships at high prices.Dou Zhao is grateful to Ji Yong.

Ji Yong thought that the prince had fallen out of favor and planned to visit Prince Qing.King Qing was favored by the emperor, and the crown prince's biological mother, Queen Shen, had a low status and few supporters.And King Qing's courteous and virtuous corporal has the air of an emperor.Dou Zhao recalled his previous life. The reason why King Qing succeeded was because he had advisers around him.She guessed that this person was Ji Yong.Ji Yong seemed to have everything under control, but Dou Zhao knew that persuasion was useless, so he gave him glasses.She discovered that Ji Yong had poor eyesight, and Ji Yong got closer to take a closer look at Dou Zhao and praised his appearance.

Dou Shishu and Dou Shiying came, and Dou Shishu accused Dou Zhao of coming all the way and being unbecoming.However, Dou Zhao believed that this trip was reasonable and intended to help the Miao family.Dou Shishu disliked the low status of the Miao family and was not worthy of being Dou Zhao's sister.He blamed Dou Zhao for traveling and causing Cui to become seriously ill.Dou Zhao admitted his mistake after hearing the news and returned to take care of Cui as soon as possible.However, Dou Shishu deliberately delayed, and Dou Zhao was very anxious. He was willing to return all Futian's money to the Dou family and only wanted to return quickly.Dou Shishu then agreed to set off the next day.

Dou Zhao originally wanted to stay in Wuzhen, but Dou Zhao was anxious and chose to go to a remote place.Dou Shishu complained endlessly, but at this time, soldiers came to greet him and prepared sumptuous meals.Dou Zhao is feeling unwell and wishes to eat lightly.As soon as he finished speaking, light porridge was served.Dou Zhao understood in his heart that this was done by the Dingguo Army, and a smile appeared on his lips.

When they arrived at Yuzhou City, the soldiers conducted a thorough investigation.Dou Zhao sent a message to the gatekeeper, saying that the Dou family of the Ministry of Rites had returned to Beijing to resume their duties.The gatekeeper heard the news and immediately let him go.Dou Shishu looked back at Dou Zhao's carriage and knew that Dou Zhao had done this.

It rained heavily and the carriage got stuck in the mud.A group of people dressed as farmers struggled to lift the carriage out, calling Miss Fourth.Dou Zhao wanted to reward him, but was rejected.Dou Shishu was even more dissatisfied, thinking that Dou Zhao only associates with some shady people.

Dou Zhao returned to the village, but Dou Shishu refused to see Cui.Dou Zhao was very angry, and Dou Shishu did not forget to remind Dou Zhao not to forget his marriage to Wei Tingyu.Dou Zhao had no time to argue and hurried into the house to visit Mrs. Cui.But he ran into Wang Yingxue's sinister face.

When Song Mo saw that Dou Zhao had returned safely, he left with peace of mind.He escorted him all the way to Dou Zhao's residence.

Episode 12

Dou Zhao knew that all this was Wang Yingxue's plan, forcing her to return home.Wang Yingxue was quite proud of this.Dou Zhao performed acupuncture on Cui and prepared a package of commonly used medicine, and asked Zhao Zhangru to prepare it for emergencies.When Cui woke up and saw Dou Zhao returning, she cried like a child.

Mrs. Cui also knew that Wang Yingxue deliberately made her worried and sick. When she heard that Wang Yingxue had made an engagement, she was angry and wanted to find an argument with him, but was dissuaded by Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao feels that he has grown up and there are some things he needs to face personally.Although Mrs. Cui blamed herself for not being able to protect Dou Zhao, she had no doubts about Dou Zhao's intelligence and still told her to be more careful.

Dou Shishu specially sent many valuable clothes, fearing that Dou Zhao would lose face in Kyoto by wearing simple clothes.At this time, music came from the courtyard. Cui thought it was to celebrate her birthday, but Dou Zhao guessed that it was a passing artist playing, but he did not know that it was Song Mo who was playing.Dou Zhao made an appointment with Cui and Zhao Zhangru to wait for her return.

Dou Zhao came to the courtyard alone and planted blossom flowers. He noticed Song Mo was nearby and called him out.Dou Zhao was grateful to Song Mo for taking care of him and giving him Qu, and Song Mo praised her as the most transparent woman he had ever seen, who could understand the situation so well.Dou Zhao also expressed his willingness to learn from Song Mo's courage and quickly solve the current dilemma.Song Mo returns Dou Zhao's earrings, which were shot down by Song Mo with an arrow on the boat.

Lu Zheng hadn't been seen for many days, and Chen Qushui found that there were many new attendants in the house. Jiang Huisun was getting worse and worse, vomiting blood every day, and Chen Qushui looked worried.

Dou Zhao took the initiative to return home. Wang Yingxue welcomed him on the surface, but was actually dissatisfied.Privately asked Dou Zhao to restrain his temper, but Dou Zhao said that he would obey Wang Yingxue's orders from now on.Wang Yingxue then punished Dou Zhao to copy the book, and Dou Zhao accepted it happily.At night, shopkeeper Zhao sent a new inkstone and paper, and Dou Zhao discovered that there was news sent by Chen Qushui.Dou Zhao recalled the records about Song Mo in Zhaoshilu, and speculated that his father-killing and brother-killing might be related to this, so he asked Chen Qushui to continue investigating.

Dou Ming came to visit late at night, invited Dou Zhao to visit the lake, and copied the book that Wang Yingxue had punished on his behalf.Dou Zhao felt that Dou Ming's temperament had changed drastically, but Dou Ming did not understand the meaning.Suddenly hearing the sound of footsteps, Dou Zhao hurriedly blew out the candle, and Dou Ming hid it between Dou Zhao's legs.This act of intimacy changed the relationship between the two sisters.

Ji Yong and Song Mo both copied the book and sent it to them. Dou Zhao found that Song Mo's handwriting was exactly the same as what she wrote on her left hand, and Ji Yong's handwriting was also very close to that of Ji Yong.Su Xin suggested using both, and Dou Zhao agreed with a smile.

Ji Yong followed King Qing and specially let King Qing see Song Mo's skills.Song Mo was able to shoot arrows while blindfolded, piercing a poplar tree with a hundred steps, and was highly appreciated by King Qing.Song Mo wanted to return to the capital on the grounds of mother's illness. It coincided with the military situation at the border, and King Qing ordered him to bring back a message.

When Song Mo returned to Beijing, he heard that his mother had died, the mourning hall was high, and his younger brother was kneeling in front of the coffin.When her mother was seriously ill, she often called Song Mo by his name and refused to take medicine.Song Mo blamed himself endlessly and kowtowed to apologize.At this time, the servants reported that the British Duke was heartbroken and wanted to see Song Mo.Song Mo arrived and saw his father holding a comb. He lamented the sudden death of his wife, as if he had only gone to enjoy flowers and would return soon.

Before Song Mo could comfort his father, Song Yichun took out the mutton-fat jade and accused Song Mo of having an affair with the maid Mei Rui.After Mei Rui died, she was three months pregnant, but Song Mo returned home three months ago.Song Mo wanted to use Lu Zheng and his subordinates as witnesses, but Song Yichun didn't believe it. He beat Song Mo angrily and ordered people to impose family laws.

Dou Zhao heard that the British government closed its doors to thank guests and knew there was something wrong. He ignored the ban and insisted on saving Song Mo.Song Mo was being severely punished at this time. He recalled the past when he was punished on behalf of his father, and asked his father why he treated him like this.Song Yichun clenched his fists and still ordered people to lock Song Mo into the ancestral hall. The clan members would be summoned tomorrow to remove him and dethrone him from the throne.

Song Mo was imprisoned in the woodshed, and when he saw the lamp given by Dou Zhao, he suddenly understood everything.Recalling my mother's love, I crawled towards the spear my mother used during her lifetime.In a daze, he seemed to see Dou Zhao coming. When he opened his eyes, it turned out to be her.

Dou Zhaoyan was lucky to have Chen Qushui's help, otherwise he would not have been able to rescue Song Mo.Lu Zheng was also trapped in the secret room, but Chen Qushui sent a letter to create chaos, and Lu Zheng and Lu Ming worked together to rescue the prince.Lu Zheng was hacked to death in order to guard the gate and prevent his pursuers from escaping.

Song Mo was heartbroken. People who were neither relatives nor relatives were willing to risk their lives to save him, but relatives wanted to put him to death.Dou Zhao saves him regardless of the difference between men and women. Song Mo sees Dou Zhao's handwriting and confirms that she is the woman he met while watching a play.When Dou Zhao applied the medicine, he noticed that Song Mo had white hair and recalled Song Mo in his previous life.

Song Mo insisted on returning home because his father wanted to open an ancestral hall and remove his name, so it was difficult to violate the patriarchal law.He knew that this was a dead end and could not stop.The life of his personal guard was hanging by a thread, and his mother's body was still cold. What he needed at this moment was not to heal his wounds, but to be able to hold a knife.

Episode 13

Dou Zhao had already understood Song Mo's thoughts and specially prepared medicine for him, which could restore his seven powers in a short time, but it might leave the root of his illness in the future.Song Mo took the medicine without hesitation and mentioned the conversation with the girl who was wearing a mask while watching the play.Dou Zhao did not dare to look directly into Song Mo's eyes, but said softly that it didn't matter whether it was true or false.Song Mo deliberately approached Dou Zhao, trying to find out if there was a pink flower on the back of her neck, but was disappointed to find that there was not. He realized that Dou Zhao was not that woman.Afterwards, Dou Zhao stood up and prepared some items for Song Mo.

On the other side, after Song Yichun learned that the seriously injured people had escaped, he immediately ordered the recall of all the raised dead soldiers.When Dou Zhao saw Song Mo off, Song Mo opened his heart. He understood that this trip would definitely bring infamy, but even if he died, he would pursue truth and justice.As long as there is one person in the world who believes in him, he feels it is worth it.Dou Zhao firmly stated that she would wait for Song Mo to return and support his decision no matter what the situation.Song Mo felt relieved when he heard these words.

Just when Song Mo was about to leave, he noticed white powder on his hand and immediately understood that Dou Zhao was the masked girl who deliberately covered up the mark of the flower.Dou Zhao did this just because he didn't want anything to affect Song Mo's decision.After Song Mo figured out the truth, he shouted loudly into the house that when the matter was over, if he could survive, he would definitely come back to find Dou Zhao.

Song Yichun sat alone in the house, anxiously waiting for Song Mo's return.He knew very well that Song Mo was a person who wanted revenge.Sure enough, Song Mo, wearing mourning clothes, led his men into Song Yichun's house, started a fierce battle with the dead soldiers, and asked them about the whereabouts of someone.

At the same time, in the Song family ancestral hall, two elders were waiting anxiously.Suddenly, there was a noise outside. They rushed out to take a look and found that it was Yan Chaoqing and others.Yan Chaoqing stood at the door and warned everyone that staying in the ancestral hall would save their lives, otherwise they would be dead.Some people didn't believe it and tried to come out, but were beheaded on the spot, scaring others so much that they no longer dared to act rashly.

Lu Zheng waited until Song Mo arrived and told him that his brothers would rather bite their fingers than press fingerprints. He handed his badge to Lu Ming and asked him to take care of Song Mo on his behalf.When Song Mo heard this, he fell to the ground sadly.

There was lightning and thunder outside. Song Yichun walked out of the house uneasily and saw corpses piled at the door.Instead, he laughed, thinking that Song Mo did not dare to do anything else because His Majesty would not allow civil strife to occur.Song Mo asked his brother about his mother's medical treatment and learned that the Queen had come to visit and introduced the doctor.However, my mother's condition continued to worsen.

Song Mo found Song Yichun and decisively cut off the relationship between father and son.He had received military sticks and whippings from his father, and he believed that he had already repaid the blood relationship with his father.However, Song Yichun accused Song Mo of doing this just to inform the world and consolidate his position as the heir apparent.Song Mo retorted that he had never relied on the British government since he joined the army, and he just hoped that his mother could live a more dignified life.He decided to move to the house left by his grandfather and have nothing to do with Song Yichun.‌

While burying the dead soldiers of the Dingguo Army and his mother Jiang Meisun, Song Mo encountered slander from the people.Some people say that as the eldest son, he did not attend his mother's funeral, which was too shabby.After Yunyang Bo Gu Yu heard about it, he led people to drag those gossiping people to the alley to teach them a lesson, and came to Song Mo to express his eternal support for him.Song Mo was grateful for this.‌

After burying their mother, everyone continued to follow Song Mo.However, Song Mo suddenly suffered an injury and fainted.At this time, Dou Zhao also received the news and felt relieved that Song Mo had retained his position as the crown prince.But at the same time, Dou Shishu ordered someone to summon Dou Zhao. Because Wang Yingxue found Dou Zhao's bloody clothes, Dou Shishu used this as an excuse to accuse her of having a secret meeting with her foreign husband, and prepared family law to serve her.Later, Dou Shishu also deliberately sent a message to Wu Shan, intending to let Wu Shan and Dou Zhao be together to replace Wei Tingyu.‌

After several days of coma, Song Mo finally woke up.When he learned that Dou Zhao was punished for having a secret affair with a foreign man, he was extremely anxious and wanted to find her immediately.However, Yan Chaoqing told him that Wu Shan had already stepped forward to resolve the matter.On the same day, Wu Shan broke into Dou's house, took the initiative to admit that the bloody clothes were his, and asked Dou Shishu to punish him.After Dou Shishu obtained conclusive evidence, he threw Wu Shan into government prison.

In the prison, someone maliciously framed Wu Shan, saying that he spoke nonsense, accused the emperor of improper employment, and had private meetings with official ladies.Dou Zhao did not want to see Wu Shan being implicated because of her, so she mustered up the courage to go to Dou Shishu and beg him to let the Wu family go.She understood that Dou Shishu's real purpose was to eliminate the Wu family, but Dou Shishu warned her not to be too smart.Although Dou Zhao endured the pain and knelt down to plead, Dou Shishu still closed the door mercilessly.

When Dou Zhao heard that Song Mo had woken up and learned that he was planning to rescue Wu Shan, she was anxious, worried that Song Mo would be in danger with Wu Shan.At this time, Dou Shiying returned home. Hearing that Dou Zhao was injured, he hurried to visit, but was turned away by Dou Zhao.It has been more than ten years since Dou Zhao returned to his father again, but this time he was repeatedly injured and even grounded.Dou Shiying felt deeply remorseful and decided to immediately lift the ban on Dou Zhao.

Dou Zhao came to the street with scars and unexpectedly met Song Mo.The two rushed to each other in a hurry. Song Mo was worried about Dou Zhao's injury, while Dou Zhao was worried that Song Mo would be charged with more crimes.Song Mo gently checked the wounds on Dou Zhao's feet, while Dou Zhao carefully felt Song Mo's pulse and checked his injuries.Both of them realized that caring was causing chaos, so they quickly retracted their hands.They began to discuss the current situation and realized that the root of everything was the Li Zhen war - whether they should negotiate a peace or continue fighting.Elder Wu Ge advocated war, but the emperor did not want to fight.It was precisely because Dou Shishu guessed the emperor's thoughts that he dragged Wu Shan into the water.All the crux of the matter focused on Wu Ge Lao and the emperor.

Episode 14

Dou Zhao stepped into the dark cell to visit Wu Shan. This was her sixth visit.Wu Shan silently counted every meeting, but Dou Zhao asked with concern why he stepped into it knowing it was a trap.Wu Shan was honest. Although he had suspicions, what if it was true?He couldn't gamble with Dou Zhao's safety.He has no regrets about being imprisoned, but feels guilty for his grandfather.He begged Dou Zhao not to feel sorry for him, but Dou Zhao blamed himself even more, thinking that he had caused Wu Shan to suffer, and even regretted getting to know him.However, Wu Shan believed that meeting Dou Zhao was the greatest happiness in his life.

At the execution ground, the people shouted in unison for Wu Shan and did not want him to be punished.Mr. Wu Ge and Song Mo knelt in front of the palace gate, submitted their resignations, confessed their mistakes to Mr. Chen, just to get an audience with the Holy Emperor and express their feelings.The judge still pressed Wu Shan to plead guilty, but he would rather die than sully his grandfather's name.Just as the supervisor ordered the execution, Song Mo hurriedly arrived with the imperial edict, and the emperor finally summoned Mr. Wu Ge.When the imperial edict came, Wu Shan was demoted and ordered to rebuild the statue of Yuanyou Palace without any heavy punishment.Wu Shan looked at Dou Zhao, and the two smiled at each other, feeling connected.

On the occasion of parting, Wu Shan saw Dou Zhao coming to see him off outside Kyoto.He encouraged Dou Zhao to pursue true love and told her that freedom could be fought for.Dou Zhao watched Wu Shan go away, and Song Mo stepped forward to comfort him, pointing out that Wu Shan was now free from family shackles and could freely pursue his dreams.

Song Mo handed Dou Zhao a blood letter written by Wu Shan in prison, which was his last words when he thought he was about to die.He has no regrets, he just wants not to be a caged bird.Dou Zhao felt deeply sad and realized that personal power was insignificant in the face of power.However, Song Mo revealed that Dou Shishu was about to send an envoy to Li Zhen. This dangerous trip was actually a plan planned by Mr. Wu Ge and Song Mo in front of the emperor.

A few months later, on the martial arts field, Dong Qi took out the bow and arrow given by the late emperor, determined to win it.Hai Changbo mocked Song Mo for defeat, but was punished by his father.Gu Yu stepped forward to cheer Song Mo on.

The imperial court held a boudoir competition, and the girls of the Dou family were able to participate because of Dou Shishu's meritorious service.As a judge, Wei Tingzhen wanted to help Dou Ming win the championship, but unexpectedly, Dou Ming was tricked by Miss Liang in the first round of the cooking competition. His food was knocked over and he was unfortunately eliminated.Miss Liang tried to use the same trick against Dou Zhao again, but Dou Zhao cleverly avoided it, causing Miss Liang to lose.

Miss Liang once again tried to use the old trick to humiliate Dou Zhao. She ridiculed Dou Zhao's works as vulgar, and wanted to repeat the old trick to knock him down.However, Dou Zhao was on guard, and she deftly avoided Miss Liang's plan. Instead, Miss Liang's own delicacy accidentally fell to the ground, and she was immediately disqualified from the competition. This was regarded as Dou Zhao's bad breath for Dou Ming.

After the game, Dou Zhao won the championship in one fell swoop, but was criticized by Wei Tingzhen.Wei Tingzhen was already dissatisfied with Dou Zhao. When she saw that she was still participating in men's gambling, she thought she had misbehaved and wanted to deprive her of the championship title.However, the eldest princess Shude arrived at this time. She defended Dou Zhao on the spot, saying that when Dou Zhao was his age, she had ridden horses, bent bows, and played gambling, and the emperor had never prohibited women from participating.When Wei Tingzhen saw this, she didn't dare to say anything more and had to apologize hastily.

Dou Ming witnessed Wei Tingyu shooting the little white rabbit in the woods. She couldn't bear to see the little white rabbit killed because of its cuteness. This move made Wei Tingyu feel good about her.Shude admired Dou Zhao's speech and behavior and thought she was quite similar to herself when she was young.Shude asked Dou Zhao about his prediction of the outcome of the hunt, and Dou Zhao admitted that he was optimistic about Dong Qi.Although Shude believed that Song Mo was better, she also understood that Dou Zhao's analysis had its own truth. What surprised her even more was that it was Dou Zhao who understood Song Mo.

On the hunting ground, Dong Qi captured a tiger, but Song Mo only caught a venomous snake.He admitted that he only wanted to protect Qingping, but was ridiculed by Song Yichun.However, the emperor thought of Jiang Meisun because of Song Mo. He rebuked Song Yichun for being too harsh on Song Mo, and personally put on a cloak for Song Mo and appointed him as the commander of the Jinwu Guard.

At this time, Dou Shishu returned, and the prince was asking about the horse market.The emperor came after hearing the news and asked the courtiers to express their opinions.Shude suggested that Dou Zhao speak because she is an expert in business.Dou Zhao explained to the emperor how she won the jackpot in the hunt, and the emperor was greatly appreciated by her insights.When the emperor asked her what she thought about the horse market, Dou Zhao's answer made him smile even more. He personally supported Dou Zhao and decided to act according to her wishes.

The emperor wanted to reward Dou Zhao, and Shude took the opportunity to propose that Dou Zhao be betrothed to Song Mo.However, Dou Zhao took the lead and made a request to plant potatoes, hoping that the emperor would grant permission.At this time, Dou Shishu brought up the marriage contract between Dou Zhao and Wei Tingyu. The emperor had no choice but to let Wei Tingyu go to Jinwu Guard for training and suggested that Song Mo marry Princess Jingyu.But Shude thought that the princess had a bad temper, so she put the matter aside for the time being.

When Dou Zhao left, Song Mo offered to help her break off the engagement, but Dou Zhao declined.At this time, news of Dou Ming's disappearance came. Dou Zhao guessed that she was with Wei Tingyu, so he went to look for her with Song Mo.

Episode 15

Shude met Dou Shishu by chance in the corridor. She was smiling and congratulated Dou Shishu on his safe return and successful official career.However, Shude immediately proposed to share the taste of tobacco with Dou Shishu, and also hoped to listen to Dou Shishu's piano music, but Dou Shishu declined both of them.Dou Shishu said nothing, turned and left, leaving Shude with an indifferent back.

On the other side, Song Mo wanted to assemble the Jinwu Guards to search for Dou Ming, but was stopped by Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao was worried that if Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu were hit by a large group of people at this time, they would be afraid of damaging their reputation, so he offered to go with Song Mo to search for them.The two found Wei Tingyu with sprained feet in the woods and Dou Ming who was reluctant to leave.Dou Ming felt guilty and explained that his chance encounter with Wei Tingyu was due to a rabbit and nothing else.Dou Zhao naturally ignored it and proposed to let Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu ride back together on her horse. However, Dou Ming did not dare to snatch her sister's fiancé for fear of provoking criticism, so she proposed to let Dou Zhao and Wei Tingyu leave together.At this time, Song Mo walked out after hearing the sound, and took the initiative to ask Ying to escort Wei Tingyu home, claiming that the two had similar interests and could be companions.Song Mo checked Wei Tingyu's injury and found that it was just a dislocation, so he helped correct it.Just as Song Mo was about to leave, a cold arrow came. Song Mo instinctively protected Dou Zhao and held the arrow.It turned out that someone was hunting in the forest and mistook Song Mo, who was wearing brown clothes, for a brown bear, and shot the arrow out of desperation.Song Mo did not blame the other party, but found that Dou Zhao was too frightened and in a daze. He quickly hugged her and asked her why, but Dou Zhao remained silent.

Wang Yingxue felt unhappy when she saw Dou Zhao. Although Dou Ming claimed that Dou Zhao had found her and brought her back, Wang Yingxue instead of expressing gratitude, instead ridiculed Dou Zhao for winning the first prize just to delay the wedding, and said that she would not let her do so.Dou Zhao left without saying anything more. Wang Yingxue was surprised that Dou Zhao did not refute today.

Dou Zhao came to the lake alone and recalled what an old man said when he was young - as long as you have strong power, you can move mountains and displace seas.However, at this moment, she had made many efforts, but nothing seemed to have changed.Song Mo was almost injured by her again, and the old man seemed to appear in front of Dou Zhao again, reminding her that it was like a boulder in the river. Although it could temporarily separate the water flow, the water flow would still merge after bypassing the boulder, and the power of an individual was ultimately small.Dou Zhao took a closer look and saw that the old man was gone. She walked forward in despair and almost fell into the water. Fortunately, Song Mo appeared in time and took her into his arms.Song Mo wanted to explore Dou Zhao's inner thoughts, but Dou Zhao lied about being hungry and weak and almost fell into the water.Song Mo immediately took her to make a pot of porridge, and thoughtfully put his cloak on Dou Zhao. He held her hand and tried to find out her thoughts from her micro-expressions, which made Dou Zhao angry.Dou Zhao asked Song Mo if he would feel a sense of accomplishment if he could probe her mind. Song Mo explained that he just wanted to help Dou Zhao reduce her burden and understand her pressure.Dou Zhao took a step back, hoping that Song Mo would stay away from her. This would be the biggest relief for her.

In accordance with the emperor's order, Wei Tingyu came to Jinwu Guard to receive training from Song Mo.As soon as he arrived, he was arranged to eat. Song Mo arrived just in time and reprimanded Wei Tingyu that he should not eat in the army, and reminded everyone that eating in the army was punished. He also ate some casually, expressing his willingness to be punished with everyone.At the end of the day, Wei Tingyu suffered so much from training that even the steamed buns he had when eating were better than delicacies from the mountains and seas.

When Song Mo asked about his marriage to Dou Zhao, Wei Tingyu complained bitterly, complaining that Dou Zhao was not a good match and was vulgar, but marrying him home was like getting a golden egg.These words made Song Mo very angry, and in the name of training, he drilled Wei Tingyu hard again.Wei Tingyu couldn't bear the pain, so he contacted several young masters to submit a letter to the emperor.The emperor learned that Song Mo had maintained strict military discipline, and felt that Wei Tingyu could not endure the hardship, so he ordered not to accept Wei Tingyu's tricks in the future.However, the emperor was somewhat concerned about Dou Shishu's accusation that Song Mo was nostalgic for the land of fireworks and always took actors home to cover their feet. He believed that he would be able to settle down after getting married, so he urged Dou Shishu to quickly arrange for the young man's marriage.

Wang Yingxue and Dou Shiying invited Wei Tingzhen to watch a play together, specially bringing their juniors with them, hoping to have more opportunities to contact them and discuss and confirm the marriage between Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao.However, Wei Tingyu met Dou Ming in private and gave her a painting to express his feelings.

Dou Zhao was dissatisfied when he saw Song Mo hooking up with some actors.Song Mo motioned for everyone to leave, leaving only him and Dou Zhao.He directly pointed out that Dou Zhao could actually see through his intentions, but he just hoped that Dou Zhao could give him a clear explanation.Dou Zhao didn't know how to face Song Mo's eyes and wanted to escape, but was trapped in Song Mo's arms and stopped.When Dou Zhaozheng didn't know how to escape, Wei Tingyu came over. Thinking that Song Mo was bullying Dou Zhao, he stepped forward to protect Dou Zhao behind him.Song Mo found that Dou Zhao tried his best to break free from Wei Tingyu's hand, and was secretly happy in his heart, and left without arguing with Wei Tingyu.

Dou Zhao called Wei Tingyu aside alone and pointed out that if Wei Tingyu didn't like him, he could propose to break off the engagement.But Wei Tingyu did not dare to disobey her sister's wishes and expressed her willingness to get married.Dou Zhao simply suggested that fortune telling could be used, and the next step would be the wedding date.Wei Tingyu was a little anxious after hearing this, but hoped that Dou Zhao could communicate with Dou Shishu to resolve the issue of breaking off the engagement.Dou Zhao was furious and felt that Wei Tingyu was still so cowardly and irresponsible.

Song Mo secretly observed all this and understood Dou Zhao's thoughts - he didn't want to marry Wei Tingyu, and he felt even happier, waiting to see what Dou Zhao was going to do next.

Wei Tingyu met Dou Ming privately again. Although Dou Ming liked Wei Tingyu, he still remained rational.She investigated the place where there were many beautiful concubines around Wei Tingyu and often hung out with fireworks. Wei Tingyu knelt down and vowed to dismiss all the maids. From now on, he would only paint for Dou Ming. He also gave her the portrait of Dou Zhao that he had painted. At the same time, she also discoveredDou Ming embroidered the red bean picture and knew that the two of them had the same mind.

When Dou Zhao agreed to tell her destiny, Wang Yingxue felt that she was unusually well-behaved.Suddenly I heard that Dou Zhao was ill, and I became even more suspicious that Dou Zhao had ulterior motives.Wei Tingzhen specially invited a famous divination master to bring him over to burn the turtle bones to tell fortunes.Chen Qushui and Su Xin suddenly hurried over, claiming to have encountered a thief and asking everyone to avoid it.After everyone went out, Wang Yingxue went back and hid, and saw with her own eyes that Dou Zhao replaced the auspicious tortoise shell in the brazier with the inauspicious tortoise shell.She was so proud that she thought she had planned everything long ago, and asked her grandma to replace the Daji tortoise shell that she had prepared in advance.But what she didn't expect was that Dou Ming also came in later, took Daji's tortoise bone and replaced it with Daxi's tortoise bone.

Wang Yingxue prepared several turtle bones, and fearing an accident, she quickly asked her to put them on again.But the mother-in-law found that Dou Ming had taken away the fire tongs, and she did not dare to go to the brazier to get the turtle bones with her bare hands.In desperation, Wang Yingxue wrapped her hands in her sleeves and took out the turtle bones to replace them.Just after changing, I heard Wei Tingzhen and the divination master coming in.The divination master believed that the turtle bone would be a good thing, but Wei Tingzhen found that Wang Yingxue's hidden hands were trembling, and she had doubts in her heart.

When Wei Tingzhen left, she met Dou Zhao who took the initiative to say hello.Dou Zhao pretended to be recovering from a serious illness, deliberately curry favor with Wei Tingzhen and gave her precious gifts.Wei Tingzhen's doubts became even greater.In fact, this is exactly Dou Zhao's strategy.Dou Zhao knew that Wang Yingxue would definitely make more preparations, and her purpose of changing the tortoise shell was not her purpose. The real purpose was to make Wei Tingzhen suspicious.Dou Zhao was sure that Wei Tingzhen would get to the bottom of it, but Su Xin didn't know what he was going to investigate. Dou Zhao smiled slightly and thought he was going to put on a good show with the help of these sisters.

Episode 16

Dou Zhao revealed to Su Lan and Su Xin that her plan was to stir up doubts in Wei Tingzhen's mind. Once the doubts took root, Wei Tingzhen would definitely get to the bottom of it.Su Lan was curious, what could be found out after this investigation?Dou Zhao looked at the two sisters with a smile on his lips, indicating that they were about to put on a good show.

Sure enough, Wei Tingzhen became suspicious, and she assigned her nanny to investigate secretly.Taking advantage of the opportunity of delivering supplements, Mammy invited Su Lan and Su Xin to have dinner and asked insinuatingly about Dou Zhao's physical condition.Su Xin made a mistake and revealed the news of Dou Zhao's illness, but fortunately, Su Lan interrupted her in time.That night, Mammy followed secretly and found Su Xin burying medicine residue.Grandma dug it out and examined it, and found that it was actually a medicine for treating female infertility.Wei Tingzhen was very angry when she learned about it, thinking that she had almost fallen into Wang Yingxue's trick, so she hurriedly proposed to postpone the engagement in an attempt to make the marriage invisible.

On the other side, Wang Yingxue discovered the affair between Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu and punished Dou Ming in anger.Ji Yong came to visit Dou Zhao and saw that she was boiling medicine, so he knew her intention.Ji Yong said that he had many ways to break off the engagement and there was no need to go to such trouble, but Dou Zhao did not want to cause more trouble and warned Ji Yong not to make decisions without authorization, as she would handle her own affairs.

Song Mo bought Taihe Tower and indulged in opera every day.The prince came to visit and thought that Song Mo was losing his ambition by playing with things, which attracted criticism from the government and the public. He even speculated that Song Mo was hiding his power and biding his time.The prince expressed his willingness to help, but Song Mo still looked like a playboy and wanted to arrange several actors for the prince. The prince was angry and walked away.

In fact, Song Mo bought the theater to facilitate information gathering.He privately summoned counselors to discuss the situation, ordered people to keep an eye on the East Palace, and approached the prince's close officials to obtain information.At the same time, they found out that Duke Ding had written a letter to Jiang Huisun before going to Beijing, but the letter disappeared.Song Mo searched his home to no avail and thought to himself.

Song Yichun was taken care of by Sizheng Su Yan every day. He was worried when he heard about the family letter.However, Su Yan believed that Dingguojun and Dingguo Gong were no longer here, so a letter from home could not cause trouble.Song Yichun felt uneasy, wondering what Song Mo was going to do.

Ji Yong asked someone to tell Dou Ming that Wei Tingyu had something urgent to discuss.Dou Ming put on her maid's clothes, hurried to the theater, and sneaked into the room where Wei Tingyu was resting.When he wanted to leave, the door was locked.Wei Tingyu woke up and saw Dou Ming. Although she was happy, she also knew that she could not harm Dou Ming's reputation.Dou Ming was worried that he would be criticized if he stayed here overnight, and lamented that it would be better to die.Wei Tingyu also wanted to die with him. Dou Ming understood Wei Tingyu's deep feelings, and the two formed an alliance and embraced each other tightly.Ji Yong, who was outside the door, heard the movement and was overjoyed, knowing that the plan had come true.But as soon as he turned around, he was beaten violently by Song Mo and split the lock of the door.Wei Tingyu protected Dou Ming and explained that everything was his fault.

After Song Mo beat Wei Tingyu violently, he sent him back to the Wei family and handed it over to Wei Tingzhen, and warned him that if he dared to reveal what happened tonight, he would be killed.Wei Tingyu knelt down and begged Wei Tingzhen to marry Dou Ming instead of Dou Zhao.Wei Tingzhen was furious and believed that this was Wang Yingxue's plan and wanted the daughter of the Dou family to marry into the Wei family.

However, Wang Yingxue did not want Dou Ming to marry Wei Tingyu and urged Wei Tingyu and Dou Zhao to get married.Dou Ming had always tolerated his mother, but this time he refuted her mother. She was already married to Wei Tingyu and could not marry anyone else.Her mother always scolded her, but only Wei Tingyu could see her goodness.Wang Yingxue believed that the only thing that could protect a woman's life was a man's future, so he ordered Dou Ming to be guarded in the temple.

Wang Yingxue then went to Wei Tingzhen and proposed to renegotiate the marriage.However, Wei Tingzhen believed that this was a plan to replace others, and reprimanded Wang Yingxue for relying on the Jining Marquis Mansion.Wang Yingxue simply mentioned Dou Zhao's rich family fortune, which Wei Tingzhen lacked.Wei Tingzhen reluctantly agreed and set a wedding date ten days later.

After Dou Zhao learned what Ji Yong had done, he was furious and drove him away.However, Ji Yong thought that Dou Zhao's method was too slow, but Dou Zhao said that he did not want to hurt others, otherwise he would be like Wang Yingxue.Ji Yong felt that even if Dou Zhao and Wei Tingyu got married in the future, they would still have an affair. If Song Mo hadn't intervened this time, they might have thanked him with wedding candies.Although Dou Zhao thought of the betrayal in his previous life, he still let Ji Yong leave.When Ji Yong left in anger, he did not forget to pick up the glasses that fell on the ground, which Dou Zhao had given him.

After Dou Ming's suicide by swallowing gold was discovered, Wang Yingxue was heartbroken and cried bitterly while holding her daughter.Dou Ming said that when he and Wei Tingyu got married, they had sworn that if they could not live together, they would die together.Wang Yingxue softened her heart and finally agreed to marry her instead, and prepared a phoenix crown and harem for her daughter.

When Song Mo was escorting the emperor, he deliberately detoured to the fiefdom of Jining Marquis Mansion.He let the emperor see that the people here lived in poverty, and that the Jining Marquis Mansion had acquired land in order to get married.Song Mo believed that Jining Marquis Mansion was a waste of the people. Wei Tingyu had not made any merit over the years and was not worthy of being with Dou Zhao.Although the emperor saw through Song Mo's intention to marry Dou Zhao, he said that Dou Zhao and Wei Tingyu had already performed the ceremony of three matchmakers and six betrothals, and Song Mo could not interfere.Besides, the emperor intended to betroth Princess Jingyu to Song Mo, so he ignored Song Mo's kneeling down to plead for mercy.

On the wedding day, Dou Ming brought Dou Zhao a bowl of soup.When getting married, the bride goes into the sedan chair covered with a veil.Wang Yingxue chased her out and put his jade bracelet on her hand.Ji Yong looked at it with a smile on his face, knowing that Jin Chan's plan to escape from his shell had been successful.Song Mo and his crowd wanted to snatch the bride, but found that the bride was not Dou Zhao, but panicked and hid behind Wei Tingyu.Song Mo had already guessed that this bride was not who he expected.Ji Yong pulled Song Mo into the sedan and wanted to explain that the bride was not Dou Zhao, but Song Mo had already guessed it.

On the night of the wedding, Wei Tingyu thought that Dou Zhao was getting married to her, so she felt sad and drank to get drunk.Unexpectedly, after Dou Ming lifted his hijab, Song Mo hugged Dou Ming happily.After Dou Ming told Wei Tingyu about the marriage change, Wei Tingyu felt grateful to Dou Zhao.

Episode 17

Dou Shiying and Dou Shishu strolled and chatted, talking about the wedding, and their hearts finally fell.However, Dou Zhao's figure in the garden shocked them.After some questioning, we found out that Dou Ming was marrying for Dou Zhao.

Dou Shishu was the first to bear the brunt and thought about how to apologize to the Wei family in order to save the face of the two families.He proposed to break off the engagement on the grounds of Dou Zhao's infertility, not to take back the dowry, and to prepare another generous gift as compensation.Dou Zhao was dissatisfied with this and felt that he was the victim, but he had to bear everything silently.Wang Yingxue was talking nonsense on the sidelines, thinking that Dou Zhao had not wanted this engagement at first, but now he got his wish.Dou Shiying couldn't bear it anymore and became angry with Dou Shishu and Wang Yingxue for the first time, claiming that Dou Zhao was his flesh and blood. If he wanted to apologize and explain, he should come forward and it was not Dou Shishu's turn to make the decision.He even rebuked Wang Yingxue for being shameless and trying to embezzle Dou Zhao's dowry.Dou Zhao froze on the spot, never expecting that his always cowardly father would protect him in this way.

As night fell, Dou Zhao sat alone under the magnolia tree and meditated.Song Mo came quietly and confided his heart to Dou Zhao, willing to spend the rest of his life with her hand in hand.Dou Zhao declined Song Mo politely, saying that he had no interest in him.Song Mo saw through Dou Zhao's lies, and Dou Zhao had no choice but to find another reason.She mentioned that her mother hanged herself because of her father's love affair, and she had no desire for marriage anymore.Song Mo still didn't believe that this was the whole reason, and Dou Zhao finally revealed the fear in her heart - she once dreamed that the two of them were pierced by an arrow.After hearing this, Song Mo realized the pain in Dou Zhao's heart, and admitted that he had also dreamed of a girl wearing a mask, but it was just a dream, and advised Dou Zhao not to be trapped by dreams.

Dou Zhao was emotional and said that it was not a dream, as the red flowers behind her ears were proof.However, when Song Mo took a closer look, the flower mark had disappeared without a trace.Dou Zhao was shocked and doubtful. He looked in the mirror to confirm that the mark was indeed not there.She recalled the old man's words - when she has the power to turn mountains upside down, she can change rivers.Perhaps at this moment, everyone's fate has quietly changed.Song Mo handed Dou Zhao a token, which he got from begging the emperor on his knees, symbolizing the emperor's order and allowing Dou Zhao to marry freely.From then on, Dou Zhao's marriage was decided by himself and not by others.

Song Mo gave Dou Zhao five days to think about it. If he wanted to follow him, he could tie a red ribbon under the magnolia tree; otherwise, he could tie a white ribbon.

Wei Tingzhen came to ask for help, but it was actually because of money.Wei Tingyu arrived later and expressed his willingness to protect Dou Ming I with responsibility.Wang Yingxue lamented that she had not won Dou Shiying's sincerity, but was glad that her daughter still had a chance to be happy.She pulled Wei Tingzhen into the house, willing to share half of the business profits. Wei Tingzhen finally relented, willing to make the marriage contract reasonable and treat Dou Ming kindly.The two reached an agreement.

Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu went to Dou Zhao's door and knelt down to apologize and beg for his forgiveness.Dou Zhao did not see them. He only observed Wei Tingyu's performance through the crack in the door and felt that he might be more suitable for Dou Ming.Dou Zhao guessed that the secret discussions in Wang Yingxue and Wei Tingzhen's room were nothing more than money matters.

Dou Shiying gave Dou Zhao five thousand taels of silver notes as compensation, but Dou Zhao did not accept it and only hoped that his father would politely refuse anyone who asked for marriage in the future.Dou Zhao expressed his intention, not that he didn't want to marry, but that he didn't want to marry by mistake.Dou Shiying fully supported Dou Zhao's idea, awakened from cowardice, and protected her daughter.He revealed that he had spied on Dou Zhao many times and felt relieved when he saw his happiness.The knot between father and daughter is finally resolved.Dou Zhao also revealed Wang Yingxue's story to Dou Shiying. Dou Shiying and Dou Zhao went to Wang Yingxue and asked him to hand over the longevity card.When Wang Yingxue refused, Dou Shiying angrily accused him of usury. Wang Yingxue was so frightened that she knelt down and admitted her mistake.

After the news about Dou Zhao's breakup of the engagement came out, dignitaries in the capital sent betrothal geese to propose marriage.When Dou Shiying was worried about how to deal with it, Mr. Liang Ge also sent him to hire wild geese.Dou Shiying had a headache and accidentally fell down and broke his head.Dou Zhao wanted to send the wild geese back, but he was afraid of offending others.She stewed the goose instead of the wild goose for Dou Shiying to eat, and it was rare for Dou Shiying to enjoy her daughter's cooking.At this time, Uncle Haichang came to propose marriage. Dou Shiying was furious and beat him out with a broom, accusing him of treating the Dou family as a fence yard.Hai Changbo sarcastically said that Dou Zhao was divorced and no one wanted to marry him, so he was giving timely help.Dou Shiying was even more furious and chased Hai Changbo to beat him.

In order to avoid turmoil at home, Dou Shishu asked Dou Zhao to live in a farm.Both the old lady and Dou Zhao had seen through the situation in the court and knew that Dou Shishu might become the chief assistant.The Dou family's divorce made Dou Zhao a fat man in everyone's eyes.

Lu Ming gave Douhua to Dou Zhao and others to enjoy. Dou Zhao knew it was Song Mo's intention and felt a little relieved.Song Mo often bought bean curds and rushed them to Dou's house. The intact ones were given to Dou Zhao and others to enjoy, while the broken ones were rewarded to the soldiers.

Dou Zhao saw the blooming flowers in the courtyard and recalled Song Mo's words.Although blossoms are tenacious and can grow without care, they will grow better if someone supports them.A smile appeared on Dou Zhao's lips unconsciously.At this time, Mrs. Cui came to visit Dou Zhao and persuaded him to remember the goodness of Song Mo.Mrs. Cui was very relieved that someone was protecting Dou Zhao like this.

The emperor summoned Dou Shiying to blame Dou Zhao for his pending marriage.Dou Shiying said that he had promised Dou Zhao not to interfere with his marriage.The emperor had no choice but to ask Dou Shiying to go back and choose slowly; if you can't choose well, don't come to the Ministry of Household Affairs.Dou Shiying encountered firecrackers on his way home, but fortunately Song Mo rescued him in time and escorted him home.Dou Shiying didn't understand why Song Mo was like this.

Episode 18

Ji Yong sat in the silence of the temple, his eyes falling on the little monk under the dead tree in front of him, who was diligently cleaning the fallen leaves.Ji Yong advised, rather than doing this useless work, it is better to rest for a while. After all, this dead tree has not seen life for many years, so there are no fallen leaves to sweep away.However, the young monk stubbornly followed the master's instructions and insisted on sweeping the floor.At this moment, Ji Yong was surprised to find that a flower bloomed on the branch of the dead tree.He recalled his master's teaching that spring can come out of dead trees.Ji Yong himself was sent to a temple due to emotional distress. Now that he has entered the world of mortals, flowers seem to have bloomed in his heart.He couldn't help but smile.

On the other side, Song Mo sent Dou Shiying home safely, but he felt uneasy in his heart, fearing that he would be misunderstood because of certain actions.He said goodbye respectfully without stepping into the door of Dou's house.During the conversation, Dou Shiying revealed his love for "Spring and Autumn". Song Mo relied on his photographic memory and immediately ordered Lu Ming to buy the book. When Lu Ming saw this, he couldn't help laughing.At this time, Yan Chaoqing came to report that the person who set off the firecrackers was Hai Changbo's subordinate. Although he was captured, he would rather die than speak. However, the size of the firecrackers was obviously illegal.

Dou Zhao was thinking about Song Mo's various behaviors, and Ji Yong came to visit.Dou Zhao hoped to learn the art of stargazing, but Ji Yong smiled and said, with Zhaoshilu, why do you need to stargaze?Dou Zhao curiously asked Ji Yong if he remembered what happened in his previous life. Ji Yong smiled and replied that he only knew the present and not the past life.

Hai Changbo avoided seeing Dou Zhao because of his secret possession of firecrackers to make explosives. Dou Zhao was angry about this and believed that the matter was imminent, while Song Mo was still investigating unimportant matters.She went to check the magnolia tree in person and found a white paper kite hanging on it, and quickly ordered someone to take it down.

Song Mo noticed that someone was following him, and when he caught him, he found out that he was from Chen Qushui, and Chen Qushui was from Dou Zhao.Song Mo personally untied the man and gave him a piece of gold. The man felt deeply guilty.At this time, there was a loud sound of firecrackers outside, and there seemed to be an explosion somewhere. Dou Zhao was so anxious that he called Song Mo's name everywhere, desperately trying to rush into the fire, but was hugged tightly by Song Mo.Dou Zhao confessed his worries and deep love for Song Mo. Song Mo was excited and promised to protect Dou Zhao and not let any rules restrict her.

Song Yichun secretly monitored Song Mo and found that he was often with Princess Jingyu, worried that the emperor would grant a marriage.So, he began to look for a fierce woman as a wife for Song Mo. The matchmaker proposed Dou Zhao, thinking that she would be difficult to surrender.Song Mo deliberately invited Dou Shiying to his residence, catered to his liking, presented him with fine wine and the unique copy of "Spring and Autumn", and also prepared an inkstone as a gift.

When Dou Shishu learned about this, he was greatly shocked and worried that the British Duke would not agree.However, the greeting card from the British father-in-law has been sent.At this time, Dou Zhao and Song Mo were celebrating the success of their plan in the restaurant, and everything was under their control.When Cui was preparing a dowry for Dou Zhao, she revealed her mother's bracelet. Dou Zhao and Dou Shiying searched for it together, but to no avail.Song Mo came to Dou Zhao blindfolded, hoping to find the bracelet together. Although Dou Zhao felt disappointed, he was also moved by Song Mo's affection.

Lu Ming was discovered while monitoring Dou Zhao's house. He explained that Song Mo was worried about another replacement marriage, so he asked him to keep an eye on him.Zhao Si expressed concern about this, but Dou Zhao firmly believed that Song Mo was not that kind of person.

Episode 19

Although Zhao Si didn't know Song Mo very well, as long as Dou Zhao loved it, he believed that Zhao Guqiu would also like it, and he would naturally not object.He also specially prepared a generous dowry for Dou Zhao.When Zhao Zhangru heard that his father had returned, he hurried over to meet him. The father and daughter had a long talk, which made Dou Zhao deeply gratified.Now that Zhao Si's official career is prosperous, he has even purchased a house to enjoy when he retires and returns to his hometown. It can be said that he is enjoying the blessings of everyone.

Song Mo still led people to dig out the bracelets, and Yan Chaoqing advised him to prepare the things needed for the wedding first, not to mention Dou Zhao said it didn't matter.But Song Mo knew very well that Dou Zhao's sentence "it doesn't matter" was actually very important.During the excavation, they found a cloth covering a wine jar. Song Mo immediately ordered people to investigate who had stationed troops here.However, due to repeated flooding, it may have become difficult to trace.

At night, Chen Jia broke into the farm alone and had a conflict with Zhao Zhangru.After learning Zhao Zhangru's identity, Chen Jia handed her a package and asked her to deliver it to Dou Zhao and Song Mo to congratulate them on their wedding.However, after opening the package, she found that the jade inside was broken. Zhao Zhangru suddenly realized that the jade was broken by her in the fight just now.

On the wedding day, Song Mo came late and missed the auspicious time.But Dou Zhao didn't care and still ate with peace of mind. She knew that Song Mo must have been delayed due to work.While everyone was waiting anxiously, Song Mo barged in disgraced and insisted on seeing Dou Zhao despite the obstruction.Dou Zhao saw Song Mo's closed eyes through the crack in the door, and his heart was filled with tenderness.Song Mo asked Dou Zhao to stretch out his hand and put the jade bracelet on her hand. Dou Zhao also discovered that Song Mo's hand was injured.It turned out that in order to retrieve the bracelet that was taken away by Dong Qi, Song Mo asked Dong Qi for it. Dong Qi threw the bracelet into the stove out of anger. Song Mo took out the bracelet with his bare hands and was injured.

Dou Zhao rushed out regardless of etiquette and applied medicine to Song Mo himself.Seeing this scene in the eyes of Zhao Si and Dou Shiying, they were filled with joy.The wedding team is huge and the people are enviable with their beautiful red makeup.Wang Yingxue was jealous and wrote a private letter to the British father-in-law. On the surface, her words were sincere, but in fact, she was slandering Dou Zhao and wanted to take advantage of Song Yichun to deal with her.

Song Yichun saw Wang Yingxue's thoughts and thought Dou Zhao was a shrew. She was even more happy and hurried to host the wedding to welcome the newlyweds.At the wedding, Shude came to congratulate her personally.Su Su came to the backyard with gifts, but was blocked because of her identity as the daughter of a merchant.Song Mo's younger brother Song Han came to the rescue and handed Miao Ansu a handkerchief to wipe away the stains on his face.

Song Mo and Dou Zhao had already raised their headscarves and finished their ceremony.Shude announced that the two were consummated, and also found that Song Mo had found someone he valued.Dou Zhao took Shude and sat on the marriage bed to hold the blessing. According to custom, the person holding the blessing must be a happy person with both children.Shude has been single for many years and has no children, but Dou Zhao doesn't care. Instead, he feels that people like Shude who are free and unrestrained are blessed.Shude finally understood why Song Mo liked Dou Zhao so much.

Wang Yingxue was even more angry when she heard that Dou Zhao's wedding was successfully held, and hated the British father for not understanding what he meant.Song Mo got drunk while drinking with the prince. The prince laughed at him for being a light drinker, but in fact Song Mo was just pretending and just wanted to see Dou Zhao early.Gu Yu complained that Song Mo had a daughter-in-law and forgot about his brother.

Song Mo came to the room to look for Dou Zhao, who hid by the window and peeked at what was going on outside.She discovered that the prince was looking for someone to conspire, and Song Mo told her that it was difficult to distinguish between friends and foes outside.Song Mo personally helped Dou Zhao remove her hair crown and praised her beauty.Dou Zhao also took off the "Zhao Shi Lu" he was wearing and showed it to Song Mo.Song Mo's mind was not on the court, but on the night of flowers and candles in the wedding room. He couldn't help but want to kiss Dou Zhao, but was interrupted by Dou Zhao's stomach growling. Song Mo hurriedly went to grill fish for her.

The two sat around the fire, reminiscing about the past and sharing stories from their childhood.Dou Zhao looked at Song Mo's grilled fish and heard that he could fillet a live fish for three thousand cuts and the fish could still swim, so he asked curiously.Song Mo couldn't help but laugh and reminded Dou Zhao that it was too late to regret and be afraid.The two looked at each other with deep affection. Song Mo couldn't help but kiss Dou Zhao, but was interrupted by Zhao Zhangru.

Zhao Zhangru fell into Song Mo's arms and cried sadly. Song Mo thought she was being bullied, but it turned out that she was too happy.Zhao Zhangru wanted to be happy for Dou Zhao, but he was worried that he would not find his right husband.In order to get rid of Zhao Zhangru, Song Mo immediately summoned the people of Jinwu Guard to let her choose a son-in-law, but Zhao Zhangru couldn't like any of them.Dou Zhao asked Zhao Zhangru if he had someone he liked, but Zhao Zhangru thought of Chen Jia, but did not admit it.

At night, Zhao Zhangru relied on Dou Zhao to sleep in the same bed, and Song Mo had no choice but to cover the two of them with quilts.Seeing his beloved lying there, Song Mo smiled happily, but he could only sleep in the study that night.

When Song Mo woke up, Dou Zhao was no longer around.He searched around anxiously and finally found her in the ancestral hall.Dou Zhaozheng knelt down devoutly in front of Jiang Huisun's memorial tablet, and softly told about his past with Song Mo, as well as all the suffering and forbearance Song Mo had experienced.Dou Zhao's eyes were firm, and she swore to God that no matter what the future holds, she will spend time with Song Mo hand in hand, never give up, and never let Song Mo fight alone.When Song Mo heard this, his eyes turned red. He walked into the ancestral hall silently, and knelt down in front of his mother's shrine with Dou Zhao, praying for the protection of his mother's spirit in heaven, and hoping that his mother would protect Dou Zhao as well.

Episode 20

Chen Qushui hurriedly came to report that the British father-in-law and his uncles and elders came to ask for greetings.Song Mo, however, didn't take it seriously. He felt that he had nothing to do with the British Duke, so he didn't need to salute, and he didn't care about the outside world's opinions.Dou Zhao seemed to be more rational and offered to meet him. After all, he could hide for a while but not for a lifetime.

People in the eldest uncle's family were quite critical of Dou Zhao. They thought it was disrespectful for her to serve tea to the dead before serving tea to the living.However, Dou Zhao took it calmly and introduced the imperial etiquette system, which shows that there is an example of respecting the deceased.However, the uncle's family still refused to give up and asked Dou Zhao to kneel down and serve tea again.Song Mo didn't want to pay attention to it, but Song Yichun reprimanded Song Mo in the name of the prince and asked him to perform etiquette.Seeing this, Dou Zhao took the initiative to stand up and wanted to kneel down, but Song Mo firmly stopped him.Song Mo handed the tea with one hand, and Song Yichun had no choice but to drink it obediently under Song Mo's sharp eyes.

Song Han presented a valuable chess set as a meeting gift, and the eldest aunt praised Dou Zhao for his general knowledge.However, Song Mo mercilessly exposed the true face of the uncle's family, believing that the crown prince's wife should be in charge of the central government after she passed away.The eldest aunt is unwilling to hand over the power of middle-income family, but she is eyeing Dou Zhao's dowry.The uncle even questioned Dou Zhao's ability because she had just started.Song Mo argued hard for Dou Zhao, mentioning that Dou Zhao had demonstrated excellent arithmetic skills in front of the emperor, and could even calculate the accounts of provinces across the country clearly, not to mention trivial matters at home.However, the uncle and aunt still refused to give up and insisted on Dou Zhao handing over the dowry.Song Mo firmly opposed it, but Dou Zhao took the initiative to let Chen Qushui show the dowry.When everyone saw the huge dowry, they were all stunned.Dou Zhao admitted frankly that this was just the dividend from growing potatoes, and he planned to put the money into the government account and share the expenses with everyone.She also shared many tips on doing business, making everyone believe that if she managed it, the family's income would definitely be greater.When the eldest aunt heard this, she felt timid in her heart.

Seeing the profit, the uncle simply proposed to hand over all the British government's money to Dou Zhao for management.Seeing that everyone agreed, Song Yichun was so angry that he walked away.

Chen Qushui comforted Song Mo, saying that everything Dou Zhao did was to stabilize the hearts of the British government and to help Song Mo.Song Yichun's two brothers also came to persuade him to delegate power to Dou Zhao.Song Yichun was furious, feeling that it was due to his negligence that he fell into Song Mo's trap and married such a powerful woman.

Dou Zhao and Song Mo analyzed the current situation of the Song family and believed that the uncle and the third uncle were harmonious on the surface, but in fact they were fighting secretly.It is not difficult to win the power of the middle feed, you can start from the two of them.Song Mo looked at Dou Zhao with admiration and told her that if the British father-in-law caused trouble again, let Chen Qushui summon the Jinwu Guards to solve it, and she would not suffer any loss.Dou Zhao comforted Song Mo and reassured him.

Song Mo taught Dou Zhao how to use a fire gun. Dou Zhao was frightened when he tasted this for the first time, but found that Song Mo looked calm.Song Mo comforted Dou Zhao that he would be scared the first time, but with him by his side, there was no need to worry.Although Dou Zhao missed the target, Song Mo still praised her for her outstanding performance.He encouraged Dou Zhao to continue trying. As soon as he turned around, he heard the sound of Dou Zhao hitting the target and couldn't help but praise Dou Zhao as a malleable talent.Dou Zhao was overjoyed, but found that Song Mo's hand was injured again.

When Song Mo was taking a bath, Dou Zhao took the initiative to help.Although Song Mo repeatedly declined, Dou Zhao believed that taking care of her injured husband was a woman's duty.She took off Song Mo's clothes and found that his back was scarred.Song Mo explained that he was not shy, but was just afraid of scaring Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao had already heard that Song Mo had an injury on his back, but seeing it with his own eyes still made him feel distressed.She hugged Song Mo tightly, hoping that no matter what happened in the future, she would be honest with her.Song Mo responded affectionately and agreed to Dou Zhao's request.

On the other side, Dou Ming brought snacks to Wei Tingyu and found that he was painting.Dou Ming was curious and wanted to see it, but Wei Tingyu was too shy and promised to let her see it after the painting was finished.Wei Tingyu saw Dou Ming's beauty and couldn't help but want to kiss her.At this time, someone informed Dou Ming to go and greet Wei Tingzhen.Although Wei Tingyu was dissatisfied, there was nothing he could do.

Dou Ming rushed to Wei Tingzhen's place, only to find that Grandma Zhou was being punished and her face was beaten with scars.Dou Ming wanted to protect Grandma Zhou, but Wei Tingzhen ordered her to bring hot ginseng soup as an offering and asked her to kneel down.Wei Tingzhen also deliberately compared Dou Zhao with Dou Ming, mocking Dou Ming for his inability to add wealth to the Wei family and his lack of a generous dowry.Dou Ming had no choice but to swallow his anger.

Wei Tingyu arrived in time and saw his wife kneeling and being humiliated, so he quickly helped her up.He also reminded Wei Tingzhen not to embarrass Dou Ming. After all, this is the Marquis of Jining's Mansion, not the Duke of Jingguo's Mansion.Wei Tingzhen was angry and blamed Wei Tingyu for not living up to expectations.Dou Ming didn't want to see them quarreling, so he promised to ask his mother for the bonus.

When Dou Ming returned home, he brought back very rich gifts.Dou Shiying was very happy, but Wang Yingxue ridiculed Dou Zhao for having nothing but money, unlike Dou Ming and Wei Tingyu who were in love.At this time, someone came to report that Dou Ming had returned.

When Dou Ming comes home, he always praises his mother for being young and beautiful.But her mother noticed that she had lost weight and knew that she had been wronged in the Wei family.Dou Ming explained that Wei Tingyu was protecting her, but Wang Yingxue ridiculed Wei Tingyu for being too shabby when he came back last time.Dou Ming could only lie that the two only valued feelings and not fame, and lied that Wei Tingzhen was also very good to her.Wang Yingxue knew that Dou Ming had been wronged but did not dare to say anything, and felt even more sorry for her.

When Dou Ming left in tears, he was seen by Dou Shiying, Song Mo and Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao learned about the situation with Dou Ming privately and learned about her experience in the Wei family.Dou Zhao taught Dou Ming some methods of managing her family's property and encouraged her to face difficulties bravely.At this time, Wang Yingxue came out and said that he would support Dou Ming and there was no need to worry about mundane things like Dou Zhao.Later, he also said that he would ask Wang Xingyi to arrange an errand for Wei Tingyu so that their lives would not be difficult.

However, Dou Ming was afraid that taking too much money would be found to be a serious crime by the court and he did not dare to accept it.Wang Yingxue lamented that she had no choice but to do this and told Dou Ming to always remember that she was Mrs. Hou and not to do anything illegal.Wang Yingxue also said that she would fully support Dou Ming. As long as she has money, Wei Tingzhen will no longer embarrass her and Dou Ming's life will be easier.Dou Ming hugged his mother and cried with gratitude.

After Wang Yingxue sent Dou Ming away, she felt sad as she watched her carriage drift away.The grandmother around her knew that Wang Yingxue was hard-spoken and soft-hearted, but she actually loved Dou Ming very much.Wang Yingxue thought that she had to take care of finding a job for Wei Tingyu, so she could only take out some more money from her own private treasury.

Yan Chaoqing and Chen Qushui discovered that people from the British government had sneaked in here, and every time they passed news, they would secretly report it to the British government.They suggested changing a group of people, but Dou Zhao felt that both the Crown Prince and King Qing were now wooing Song Mo. If they changed people, it would be even worse if they could mix in with their people.Su Xin felt that she had wronged Dou Zhao, but Dou Zhao analyzed the current situation very rationally and thought about Song Mo.Yan Chaoqing and Chen Qushui immediately understood what Song Mo meant and retreated quickly.Song Mo took the opportunity to kiss Dou Zhao and forced her to change her title to become more intimate.

On the other hand, Dou Ming was very happy when he found a portrait he drew for her while helping Wei Tingyu pack up his calligraphy and paintings.However, at this time, he was sent a message asking to see Wei Tingzhen.Dou Ming was afraid and asked Wei Tingyu to accompany her, but Wei Tingyu refused her on the grounds of painting and only reminded her that she was the mistress of the house and should not always be afraid of Wei Tingzhen.

Wei Tingzhen glared at Dou Ming and severely criticized her lack of ability to manage housework.Not to be outdone, Dou Ming took out Wei Tingyu's letter of appointment from his sleeve and waved it gently. Upon seeing this, Wei Tingzhen's expression immediately softened and she was no longer aggressive.And all this was heard clearly by Wei Tingyu, who was standing quietly outside the door.

Episode 21

Wei Tingzhen was quite satisfied with Dou Ming's performance. Dou Ming explained that Wei Tingyu was supposed to go to the Ministry of Personnel in person to receive the appointment, but his grandfather brought the appointment letter in advance, and Wei Tingyu only needed to meet with the people from the Ministry of Personnel.Wei Tingzhen asked Dou Ming to remind Wei Tingyu, but she did not expect that their conversation had been overheard by Wei Tingyu.When Dou Ming came to see Wei Tingyu, Wei Tingyu was already ready to go, claiming that he had an appointment with others to go sketching, and turned a deaf ear to Dou Ming's pleas.Wei Tingyu had always hated officialdom and hoped that Dou Ming would not change his original intention.Dou Ming could only watch Wei Tingyu leave, helpless.

On the other side, when Dou Zhao was settling accounts, Song Mo accompanied her and felt sorry for her hard work.Dou Zhao revealed that he was the famous Mr. Zhaoning in the capital. Only then did Song Mo know that Mr. Zhaoning owned properties all over the country, and that Mr. Zhaoning was Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao told Song Mo about his past. Song Mo felt even more distressed after hearing this and regretted that he had not been able to take care of her and had bullied her.Seeing that Dou Zhao had difficulty writing with her right hand, Song Mo handed the pen to her left hand and told her that this was Yizhitang, where Dou Zhao could live as he pleased without being restrained.Seeing that Song Mo was sad, Dou Zhao offered to give him half of his property, but Song Mo declined. He laughed and said that he was afraid that his father-in-law would be dissatisfied with his son-in-law.Worried that Dou Zhao was too tired, Song Mo went to make a soothing soup for her, but when he came back, Dou Zhao was already asleep. When Song Mo put her on the bed, he did not notice that Dou Zhao was still holding a brush in his hand, and the quilt was stained.

The next morning, after getting up, Song Mo specifically ordered his servants not to disturb Dou Zhao's rest. He also arranged to prepare supplements for her and reminded her to change her bedding.Everyone mistakenly thought that Song Mo and Dou Zhao were already in the same room, and they all speculated that they would have a young master soon.News spread quickly, and there were even rumors that twins were on the way.Dou Zhao noticed that others were looking at her strangely, and after understanding the situation, she thought Song Mo was teasing her on purpose, so she also asked Song Mo to drink chicken soup non-stop. Song Mo regretted boiling too much chicken soup.

After learning that Wei Tingyu was out and Dou Ming was packing her bags, Wei Tingzhen became furious and called Dou Ming in for a scolding, and also belittled Wang Yingxue.Aunt Zhou said some fair words to Dou Ming, but received a slap in the face.Wei Tingzhen ridiculed Dou Ming for being useless and unable to contribute to the Wei family. Instead, she envied Dou Zhao for being capable and wealthy, and regretted letting her be Li Daitao.From then on, Wei Tingzhen began to make things difficult for Dou Ming, which eventually led to Dou Ming's miscarriage.Wei Tingzhen originally felt guilty, but under the encouragement of her grandmother, she shifted the responsibility to Dou Ming, believing that she deliberately concealed the miscarriage and had nothing to do with her.Wei Tingzhen felt that she was justified and went to Wang Yingxue to investigate.

Song Yichun was irritated because his accounts were unclear, and he was even more dissatisfied when he heard that Dou Zhao was wealthy and had a harmonious relationship with Song Mo.He sent his housekeeper Lu Zheng to inquire about Dou Zhao's character again, but the result was very different from before.Dou Zhao is not only known as the female Zhuge, she also owns countless properties and is deeply loved by the people.Song Yichun became ill because of this.Dou Shiying came to visit Song Yichun and advised him not to worry all the time, take good care of his health and leave things to young people.Song Yichun mistakenly thought that Dou Shiying wanted him to give up the title of British Duke to Song Mo, and became even more angry.Especially when he heard that Dou Zhao was making medicine for him, he actually knocked over the medicine bowl. He was afraid that Dou Zhao would harm him, so he ordered Lu Zheng to make medicine for him personally.

When Dou Shiying visited Dou Zhao, he was pleased with her current life, but felt sad after learning the news of Dou Ming's miscarriage.Dou Zhao noticed something strange and asked about the situation, and Dou Shiying told the truth.Wang Yingxue and Wei Tingzhen were tit for tat and blamed each other.Wei Tingzhen scolded Wang Yingxue and Li Daitao for marrying in her place, while Wang Yingxue blamed Wei Tingzhen for causing Dou Ming's miscarriage.Wei Tingzhen counterattacked and said that Dou Ming had killed his child with a vicious heart and should be divorced.When Wang Yingxue was speechless, Dou Zhao rushed back in time, leaving Wei Tingzhen speechless with just a few words.Dou Zhao took Wei Tingzhen to Shengtian Mansion for review, which frightened Wei Tingzhen into pretending to be ill.Wang Yingxue had no choice but to appease Wei Tingzhen and go to Nuange to rest and discuss the matter another day.

Wang Yingxue thought Dou Zhao was fake and felt that everything that happened to Dou Ming today was caused by Dou Zhao.Dou Zhao scolded Wang Yingxue for repaying kindness with hatred.Wang Yingxue was speechless and had to take someone to pick up Dou Ming.Dou Zhao came to the magnolia tree alone and almost fell down when she was a little distracted. Song Mo appeared in time to hug her.He had followed quietly a long time ago, fearing that Dou Zhao would be bullied.After seeing Dou Zhaoyan fighting against other scholars, he fell in love with her even more.Dou Zhao admitted that these were fights in the inner courtyard of the deep house and did not want Song Mo to see them.Wang Yingxue gave Aunt Zhou a lot of money to buy supplements for Dou Ming, and kept the rest for personal use.The nuns around her were worried that the money was for loan sharking and would be given to the Cangbei Gang. If the Cangbei Gang didn't get the money, they would definitely not let Wang Yingxue go.Wang Yingxue could only find another way to make up for the shortfall.

Dou Zhao also came to Jining Houfu to visit Dou Ming and persuaded her not to continue to follow Wei Tingyu.Dou Ming did not blame Wei Tingyu, but Dou Zhao had already told her that Wei Tingyu was not a good husband and the Jining Marquis Mansion was not a good place.But Dou Ming always wanted to get married.Dou Zhao persuaded Dou Ming and Li that this was the best way for her to escape from here, but Dou Ming asked Dou Zhao what she should do if he and his son were like this in the future.Dou Zhao didn't know how to answer for a while.At this time, Song Mo had already sent Wei Tingyu back on horseback. Wei Tingyu knelt outside the door and kept beating himself, hoping to get Dou Ming's forgiveness.When Dou Zhao came out, he slapped Wei Tingyu on the face and made him angry.Wei Tingyu felt sorry for Dou Ming when he saw the letter of reconciliation prepared by Dou Zhao and thought that Dou Ming wanted to reconcile. He quickly admitted his mistake and repented, and made up his mind to cut off all inappropriate entanglements to ensure Dou Ming's safety.

Episode 22

Wei Tingyu was determined to sever ties with Wei Tingzhen, but Wei Tingzhen insisted that Dou Ming was the culprit, and imagined that if Dou Zhao had married into the Hou Mansion, the Hou Mansion would have prospered.Wei Tingyu hoped that Wei Tingzhen would stop interfering in the affairs of the Hou Mansion and stop comparing with Dou Zhao.Wei Tingzhen was heartbroken that she was rejected by her younger brother, but Wei Tingyu left directly without saying anything.Back home, Wei Tingyu comforted Dou Ming and regarded painting as his future pursuit.Dou Ming blamed himself for not being as capable as his sister, but Wei Tingyu didn't care. He only wanted to spend the rest of his life with Dou Ming and was determined to work hard.

On the other side, the Cangbei Gang kidnapped Wang Yingxue and demanded ransom.Wang Yingxue was not afraid and even provoked the other party, claiming that if he was killed, Wang Xingyi would not let them go.She also suggested that if she couldn't get the money, she might as well hijack other houses besides the Jining Marquis Mansion.The leader of the Cangbei Gang was moved by Wang Yingxue's words and seemed to have seen a new way to make money.

Dou Zhao teased Song Mo, blindfolded him, took off his coat, and made tailor-made soft armor for him.Song Mo was nervous at first, thinking that Dou Zhao had other intentions, but after seeing the soft armor, although he was a little disappointed, he also liked it very much.Song Mo couldn't figure out Dou Zhao's feelings, so he asked Yan Chaoqing and Lu Ming for analysis.The two discussed it for a long time, but did not come to a clear conclusion.

At night, Dou Zhao and Song Mo went to the lake to watch a movie. Dou Zhao confessed to Song Mo after being drunk, and Song Mo responded affectionately.The two embraced each other affectionately, and Song Mo took Dou Zhao home.On the way, Dou Zhao saw a beautiful lantern, and Song Mo took it off for her.After arriving home, Song Mo wanted to kiss Dou Zhao, but felt that he was taking advantage of others, but Dou Zhao pulled him and kissed him actively.

The next day, Dou Zhao woke up with vague memories of what happened last night, but when he learned about the hickey on Song Mo's neck from Su Xin, he couldn't help but feel shy.She asked Song Mo if he had done anything else last night. Song Mo deliberately teased her and repeated her love words.Dou Zhao shyly urged Song Mo to go to the Yamen, and Song Mo placed the lantern that Dou Zhao liked in the front yard.Although Dou Zhao felt ostentatious, he was very sweet in his heart.

Wei Tingyu wanted to sell the painting, but was dissatisfied with a few comments from the dealer.Dou Ming quickly apologized because this art dealer had mentored many famous painters.The art dealer praised Dou Ming for his beauty and generosity, but Wei Tingyu denounced him as a trapper and kicked him out.Dou Ming advised Wei Tingyu to meet someone with status, but Wei Tingyu thought that was not what he wanted.During the argument between the two, Wei Tingyu criticized Wang Yingxue's profit-seeking behavior without restraint.Dou Ming was dissatisfied with his attitude towards his mother and lost his temper.Wei Tingyu quickly apologized and compromised and was willing to take office.

Song Mo's groom Ma Qiang suddenly visited and revealed shocking news about Jiang Huisun.Song Mo rushed over with Dou Zhao and found that Qixia had been crazy and refused to take any medicine.Dou Zhao went to Ji Yong to check the prescription and found that there was something wrong with the candied fruit.It turned out that Jiang Huisun was afraid of bitterness and had to eat candied fruit every time he took medicine. However, this candied fruit was made from licorice and would be fatal if taken for a long time.Dou Zhao took Qixia to see Ji Yong for treatment, but the effect was unknown.

Song Yichun was horrified when he learned that Qixia had appeared in Yizhitang.He conspired with others to use rogue bandits to deal with Dou Zhao and Song Mo.At the same time, Wang Yingxue was also preparing to attack Dou Zhao and put him to death.A fire broke out in Beicheng. Dou Zhao was extremely anxious and asked Yan Chaoqing to lead people to put out the fire.However, the Cangbei Gang and other robbers took the opportunity to rush into the city and prepared to rob Dou Zhao.Song Mo discovered that the capital was on fire and worried about Dou Zhao's safety, but was prevented from seeing the emperor by the queen.

Episode 23

The bandits invaded the city and set fires, killed and robbed wantonly, causing great harm to many innocent people.Zhao Zhangru was carefully repairing a pomegranate jade carving at home when he suddenly heard a strange noise outside and hurriedly hid it.At this time, two bandits broke in and were about to attack Zhao Zhang. Fortunately, Chen Jia arrived in time and rescued her.Chen Jia discovered that the pomegranate jade carving in Zhao Zhangru's hand was the one she had entrusted her to hand over to Dou Zhao and Song Mo. She couldn't help but be confused and asked why.Zhao Zhangru told the truth that the jade carving accidentally broke and she was trying her best to repair it.After hearing this, Chen Jia didn't say anything more.

On the other side, two bandits broke into another house, only to encounter a woman wearing a cloak. She stretched out a hand and showed a gold medal, but the bandits were not afraid and wanted to force their way in.However, the woman suddenly exerted her strength and broke the arm of one of the bandits, scaring the other bandits so much that they did not dare to act rashly.The woman smiled contemptuously and then closed the door.

At the same time, Dou Zhao heard a knock on the door and asked who was coming.The other party claimed to be someone sent by the British government to check the situation, but Dou Zhao was alert and immediately ordered people to block the door.Because she knew that the British government would not care about them so much, and this must be a trick of the robbers.Sure enough, when the robbers saw that their deception was exposed, they immediately ordered their men to break down the door, and some even climbed up the wall.Chen Qushui sent people to find Yan Chaoqing to come back for support, while organizing people to guard the yard.Su Xin, Su Lan and others persuaded Dou Zhao to leave, but she firmly refused. She knew that once she left, people's hearts would be scattered.She calmly analyzed the situation and believed that she might not lose, so she calmly arranged for her subordinates to perform their respective duties.

At this time, Song Mo noticed the changes in the city and wanted to go back, but was dissuaded by his subordinates.If he goes back now, he will surely fall into death.The Cangbei Gang had already opened the west gate, and the bandits swarmed in and began to search for silver.Dou Zhao and others hid in the house and poured water on the roof to prevent the bandits from setting fire.Dou Zhao shot at the leader of the Cangbei Gang through the window, but because he mistakenly recognized the person, he only killed the people around him.The gang leader hid in a hurry and was surprised that Dou Zhao had a fire gun.

At this moment, Ji Yong rushed over with his people. At the same time, Song Mo also led a team of masked men in black and rushed over, preparing to rescue Dou Zhao.Yan Chaoqing also noticed something was wrong with Qin Guang and brought his men back to kill him.The people from the Cangbei Gang heard that people from several gates were coming back to kill them, and they immediately realized that they had fallen into Wang Yingxue's trick.

Song Mo returned to Dou Zhao anxiously, and the maids were full of praise for Dou Zhao's bravery.When Dou Zhao saw Song Mo, she suddenly hugged him tightly and burst into tears.Song Mo comforted her and praised her bravery.Dou Zhao admitted that she didn't want to cry when she saw the robbers, but she couldn't help crying when she saw Song Mo.At this time, Ji Yong also arrived. Through the window, he saw Song Mo and Dou Zhao hugging each other tightly, with a smile on their lips, and then left quietly.

Song Mo was filled with self-blame. He originally married Dou Zhao just to protect her, but he didn't expect that it would endanger her.Dou Zhao thought that the robbers might have come because of her dowry.The reason why Song Mo was able to come out was because he arranged for someone to pretend to be himself sitting in the room, while he came out masked and led Ding Guogong's elite to maintain the safety of the capital.Dou Zhao persuaded Song Mo to return to the emperor quickly to avoid Ding Guogong's elite being discovered.However, Song Mo noticed something was wrong when he left, so he returned and happened to save a few people who wanted to kill Dou Zhao.He ordered Yan Chaoqing to interrogate these assassins.

When Wang Yingxue saw the robbery incident at the emperor's feet, she felt uneasy, for fear of being held accountable.The nuns around her believed that Dou Zhao would definitely die this time, and no one would doubt Wang Yingxue.

In the chaos, Dou Ming found a maid carrying gold and silver jewelry and escaping in a hurry. After questioning, he learned that the maid had been ordered by Wang Yingxue to steal Wei Tingyu's token.Because robbers were rampant in the city, she was worried about being implicated, so she wanted to escape.Dou Ming was concerned about Wei Tingyu's safety and hurriedly went out to search, but unexpectedly encountered someone from the Cangbei Gang on the way.The gang leader recognized her as Wang Yingxue's daughter at a glance and intended to kidnap her.Wang Yingxue came over after hearing the news and beat the gang leader in desperation. This move completely angered him, and he stabbed Dou Ming with a knife.Dou Ming watched helplessly as Wei Tingyu enjoyed himself with everyone in the room, but he was unable to call for help and could only fall silently.

At the same time, Wang Ge had been secretly observing Song Mo's movements. When he saw him sitting motionless in the room for a long time, he became suspicious and quietly entered again to check.At this time, Song Mo had returned quietly, but Wang Ge did not notice anything strange.

During the process of interrogating the assassin, Yan Chaoqing learned that Lu Zheng of the British Government was one of the masterminds behind the incident.When Dou Zhao learned of this, he was furious and led his men into the British government palace.Seeing that the situation was not good, Song Yichun went into hiding and pushed out the sister-in-law who was in charge of the affairs of the mansion.The sister-in-law knew that this matter was very important and did not want to be taken advantage of. She took the initiative to hand over her power and let Dou Zhao handle the matter.

During the interrogation, Dou Zhao also discovered that the person who opened the city gate held Wei Tingyu's token, and that the robbers entered through the north gate under his jurisdiction.She immediately led people into the place where Wei Tingyu was having fun, and shot an arrow through his wine glass, scaring Wei Tingyu out of his wits.Dou Zhao angrily denounced Wei Tingyu's crime, and Wei Tingyu also saw his wife who was seriously injured and fell to the ground outside the door, and was heartbroken.However, Dou Ming did not blame Wei Tingyu until his death, nor did he regret marrying him.

When the emperor learned of the changes in the city, he was furious and ordered Song Mo to investigate the matter thoroughly.Wang Yingxue's crime gradually came to light, and Dou Shishu persuaded her to plead guilty.However, Wang Yingxue was furious, thinking that she had devoted her whole life to the Dou family, but ended up like this, and she vowed to drag everyone with her to be buried with her.At this time, Dou Zhao appeared carrying Dou Ming's body and told Wang Yingxue that Dou Ming was her first burial object.Wang Yingxue was heartbroken when she saw that Dou Ming was dead.Dou Zhao angrily scolded Wang Yingxue, pointing out that if she had not attracted the bandits, no one would have died, and Dou Ming would not have died tragically.When Wang Yingxue was taken away, she stared at Dou Zhao fiercely.

Episode 24

Dou Zhao followed the order and came to deal with Wang Yingxue, while Wang Yingxue was holding a pillow, immersed in missing Dou Ming.When she saw Dou Zhao, she immediately concluded that it was Dou Zhao, the evil star, who had killed the people around her, first her mother, and now Dou Ming.In Wang Yingxue's heart, ever since she first met Dou Zhao, she felt that Dou Zhao would not let her go.However, Dou Zhao admitted that he had already forgiven Wang Yingxue. It was Wang Yingxue who could not let go and persecuted her repeatedly because he was condemned by his conscience and wanted to get rid of this torture.Wang Yingxue and Zhao Guqiu were close friends, but they eventually led to Zhao Guqiu's tragic death, which made her cry crazy.Although she took it for granted that a man would have three wives and four concubines, she was still horrified when she saw the magnolia flowers that Dou Zhao had scattered. She tried her best to say that she was not afraid, but she had already collapsed in her heart.She suddenly fell to the ground, gasping for breath. Seeing this, Dou Zhao turned and left. She knew that these petals could not kill Wang Yingxue, but she just hoped that she could truly understand the pain of her mother back then.

Dou Zhao then visited Dou Shiying, and Dou Shiying persuaded her to cherish the people in front of her and not leave lifelong regrets like him.Dou Shiying's eyes were filled with memories of the magnolia flower that Zhao Guqiu loved.When Dou Zhao left, Song Mo had been waiting outside the door for a long time. He put on a cloak for her and had been waiting outside since Dou Zhao entered Wang Yingxue's room.Seeing that Dou Zhao finally chose to forgive Wang Yingxue, Song Mo promised to protect her thoroughly.

On the other side, Wei Tingyu's home was confiscated due to dereliction of duty. He did not care about any property but cherished Dou Ming's painting.In order to get the painting back, he knelt down and begged the investigators, and finally cried bitterly while holding the painting.

In the court, Dou Shishu proposed that Song Mo lead troops to suppress the bandits. The emperor agreed and ordered him not to return until he suppressed the bandits.In fact, this was a plan between Dou Shishu and Song Mo. Song Mo was responsible for suppressing the bandits, while Dou Shishu was responsible for dealing with the aftermath and ensuring that any information found by Song Mo would not reach the emperor's ears.

At the gate of the city, Lu Ming urged Song Mo to set off, but Song Mo had been looking for Dou Zhao.Hearing Dou Zhao's voice, he smiled.Dou Zhao specially asked for a safety sign for him, hoping that he could return safely.Song Mo liked the signature and decided to take it with him.Dou Zhao told him to return safely, while Song Mo hugged her tightly and wanted to kiss her.At this time, Yan Chaoqing urged Song Mo to set off at an inappropriate time, and Song Mo had no choice but to summon the Jinwu Guards to go out.When passing by Dou Zhao on horseback, he still bowed his head and kissed her.Dou Zhao watched him leave, silently thinking about the love between husband and wife and a lifetime of reunion.

Wei Tingyu was searched for debt in Zuixian Tower, but only a small amount of money was found and he was pushed to the ground.When he stood up to leave, he was stopped by Mr. Zhou and others.Prince Zhou snatched away his portrait, and when he found out it was Dou Ming, he wanted to burn it.Wei Tingyu kowtowed and begged to no avail, and was severely beaten.He put out the flames, hugged the remaining paintings and expressed his longing for Dou Ming.At this time, heavy rain poured down, and Wei Tingyu closed his eyes and fell into coma.When he woke up, he found himself lying on the table with a blanket wrapped around him and the portrait intact.Dou Ming came to him with medicine and persuaded him to drink it. He was so excited that he thought it was a dream.However, all this was an illusion. Wei Tingyu still fell in the rain, with a smile on his lips and his hands slowly hanging down.

Wang Yingxue met a Taoist priest by chance. The Taoist told her that kneeling three times and nine times a day could save Dou Ming from the pain of hell.After Wang Yingxue did this, she no longer went crazy and knelt down every day.When Dou Zhao and Dou Shiying came to visit, Dou Shiying thanked Dou Zhao for seeking grace for Wang Yingxue.Dou Zhao also felt that this might be because his mother had forgiven Wang Yingxue.

Ji Yong came to visit Dou Zhao and checked her pulse, and found that she was dreamy.Dou Zhao used the excuse that his best friend dreamed that her husband was attacked and asked him to help investigate.At this time, Song Mo sent a letter saying that the forest was attacked, and Dou Zhao hurriedly prepared his horse and went out of the city to search.After finding Song Mo, I was relieved to learn that he only ambushed others in the woods and was slightly injured.

Today is Song Mo's birthday, and Dou Zhao specially made a bowl of noodles for him.As soon as he finished eating the noodles, he wanted to kiss Dou Zhao but was interrupted by Lu Ming.Dou Zhao and Song Mo also helped a helpless mother and daughter. Dou Zhao had business in Kyoto and arranged for the mother to go to work in order to find her daughter.In order to thank Dou Zhao, the mother also gave her a hairpin.

Song Mo openly executed the leader of the Cangbei Gang and distributed food and medicine to the local people without charging any fees, while claiming that this was the emperor's will.This move aroused the jealousy of the prince, who slandered Song Mo in front of the emperor.However, the emperor was not influenced by the prince. Instead, he expressed dissatisfaction with the prince and believed that he should learn from Song Mo.

At the same time, Song Yichun took Song Han to meet his biological mother Shu Yao.Shu Yao personally made Song Han's birthday present every year, but Song Han didn't appreciate it and left angrily.However, after returning home, he silently cried while holding the peace blessing sent by Shu Yao.At this time, Song Mo brought a black cat as a gift to Song Han, but Song Han threw Ping Anfu into the stove in panic.

On the other hand, Chen Jia suddenly came to see Song Mo. Dou Zhao remembered the past when Chen Jia had chased her and Song Mo in his previous life. He was suspicious and wanted to eavesdrop on their conversation.So, when Song Mo met with Chen Jia, Dou Zhao hid aside.Chen Jia told Song Mo that he had discovered a secret lover of Song Yichun who went to Wanfo Temple every month.After Song Mo heard this, he asked Chen Jia to continue investigating the matter.

However, when Song Mo took people to Shu Yao's residence, they found that Song Yichun had cried in tears holding Shu Yao's body.
