Chanlu had no choice but to take this step because her mother had been bedridden. Lin Wan sympathized with Chanlu's situation and knew Xia Jin'e's intentions, so she punished Chanlu without receiving monthly money for a year, and the money for her mother's medical treatment was deducted from her share. In order to dispel Xia Jin'e's doubts, Lin Wan showed her the accounting book. Huazhi's monthly income was the same as Aunt Qin's. Lin Wan told Hua Zhi that Xia Jin'e was born in a merchant's family, but she also had a strong nature and the discord between her husband and wife, so she wanted to be in charge of the housekeeper so that she could hold her head high in front of her sister-in-law and block the leisurely flow of people waiting for her. mouth. After understanding Xia Jin'e's difficulties, Huazhi took the initiative to hand over the account book to her for review.

The maid who delivered the food did not lock the yard of Shaoyao. After chatting with Gu Yanxi in the mansion, Mr. Dong had been thinking about the fire that day. He happened to pass by Shaoyao's yard and said something to her through the door. This scene was seen by a masked killer on the distant roof. He secretly strangled Mr. Dong to death with a silk thread. When he was about to die, Mr. Dong opened the letter Gu Yanxi gave him. The courtyard door was blown open by the wind, and Shaoyao walked out. As soon as she left, the masked killer jumped into her courtyard.

It was the first time Shaoyao took to the streets. She was curious about everything, but she looked everywhere but had no money to buy anything. After meeting Shen Huan on the road and having tea, he had no money to pay the bill. He casually said to the shopkeeper that he would charge it to my brother's account and walked away. Shaoyao follows the same example. After eating Huazhi's honey, he said something and recorded it in my brother's account.

When Gu Yanxi checked the body of Mr. Dong, he learned that his sister was missing. It was getting dark, and Shaoyao couldn't tell her the address of her home, so Huazhi took Shaoyao back. Shaoyao liked the atmosphere of Huazhi's house and was very happy to have dinner with everyone. Lin Wan's cough became more severe at night. When she saw the doctor's prescription, Shaoyao said that three different medicines would be needed to get the right symptoms. After hearing the name of the medicine she mentioned, the doctor praised her for its wisdom. Qisu Si searched for Shaoyao all night in the city, but he accidentally saw her following Huazhi on the street the next day. When Gu Yanxi rushed over, she saw Shaoyao happily selling honey bombs. Hua Zhi advised Gu Yanxi to take more care of Shaoyao and not to let Shaoyao eat alone. Huazhi greatly appreciated Shaoyao's medical skills.

Gu Yanxi took Shaoyao back and asked about the whole story. She was relieved after confirming that Huazhi Shang didn't know the identity of the two siblings. Shaoyao didn't want to be imprisoned again, and Gu Yanxi also felt sorry for her being alone every day without a playmate, so he told her that she didn't have to go back if she didn't want to, but she must not reveal her surname as Gu, especially to Huazhi. Shaoyao was very happy after hearing this. Gu Yanxi handed the peony to Huazhi and gave her three hundred coins as room and board expenses. Huazhi did not refuse and took Gu Yanxi to the woods to work hard to pull red fruits. It was getting late, so Huazhi simply invited Gu Yanxi to go home for dinner. The masked killer finally found Shaoyao and followed them all the way.

It rained, and Huazhi and Gu Yanxi stood under the eaves, looking at the lake, chatting with each other about their families. Gu Yanxi and Shaoyao had been separated for ten years, and now, Huazhi and her grandfather were also separated. The second lady asked the eldest lady to pay attention to Hua Zhi and Gu Yanxi. The eldest lady called Shaoyao over, but Shaoyao didn't say a word. When leaving, Gu Yanxi noticed that someone was watching in the grass nearby. Mr. Dong had been eyeing Shaoyao just after his death. Gu Yanxi speculated that it was related to the fire that year, so he arranged for Qisu Division to ambush him and prepared to lead the masked man back to Qisu Division. At that moment, Gu Yanxi, who was wearing a mask, suddenly realized that there might be more than one killer, so he quickly returned to Zihuang Residence. As expected, another masked man sneaked into the yard. He found Shaoyao and was about to attack, but was stopped by Huazhi. At this moment, Gu Yanxi rushed in with people from Qisusi, and the killer simply held Huazhi hostage. A way out. At the critical moment, Gu Yanxi's words reminded Huazhi to get out of the way when the crossbow was fired. Huazhi understood and staggered her body in time, and the killer was killed on the spot.
