Because Li Xiuming secretly contributed to the flames, the emperor had no choice but to appoint Lu Changkong as Prince Shao Fu, and took this opportunity to take back the military power of the Lu family. Lu Changkong gradually realized the seriousness of the matter. After returning to the Lu Mansion, he couldn't wait to ask his father if he was hiding something from him. Lu Liang emphasized that the king's heart is unpredictable, but he has no shame in his heart, and never thought of doing anything that would be detrimental to his family and country. Nothing but guilt for his wife and children.

In order to find out the truth, Lu Changkong looked through the account books for nearly ten years overnight, but unfortunately found nothing. Early in the morning, Lu Changkong went to the palace to teach the princes archery. It was rare for all the princes to be present, and Li Xiuming was ridiculed by the second prince and others. Although Li Xiuming failed to hit the red heart, Lu Changkong saw that he was weak and sick, but in fact he was hiding his edge, which was enough to show his deep scheming and made him vigilant.

When the princes went to drink tea and chat, Li Xiuming completely exposed his true face in front of Lu Changkong. Lu Changkong said that if he really wanted to play chess with him, he should accompany him, but life is like chess, and he has no regrets. The emperor was extremely unhappy because nearly half of the officials in the court were protecting the Lu family. Li Xiuming came to advise the emperor, and this plan could make the Lu family never recover.

Eight years ago, the Jinshui River broke its embankment, causing a century-old catastrophe. The emperor entrusted Lu Liang with a heavy responsibility, allocating huge sums of money every year to resettle the affected immigrants and the families of the dead soldiers. So Li Xiuming wanted to make a fuss about this matter, as long as Lu Liang was charged with the serious crime of "privately raising troops and rebelling against him", who would come forward to prove Lu Liang's innocence.

Lu Changkong couldn't find any useful clues for two consecutive days, and he was very anxious. On the other hand, Song Xiangyun was bored every day, sitting under the crabapple tree and waiting for Lu Changkong. Her love for Lu Changkong was broken by the maid Bicui, and she finally faced her own feelings. Song Xiangyun recalled the little things with Lu Changkong, and had to admit that she was moved by Lu Changkong, so she decided to go to Lu's residence in person.

When Zihui went to visit Xie Ying with a gift, he was recognized by Xie Ying as the one who ruined his marriage with his cousin. When Xie Ying heard that Zihui was loyal to Song Xiangyun because of the grace of saving his life, he designed to be his second savior, so he took him for his own use and kept an eye on Song Xiangyun's movements for her.

Bicui and Lu Fang had a good relationship with each other. They thought that if Lu Changkong and Song Xiangyun were married, they would be able to stay together forever. Unexpectedly, Lu Changkong suddenly changed his temper and began to avoid seeing Song Xiangyun for various reasons. That day Li Xiuming came to Song Xiangyun, went shopping with her, and when they parted, he said that if she wanted to divorce, he could mediate and dissolve the marriage.

Song Xiangyun was a little stunned when he heard the words, and thought twice about rejecting Li Xiuming. Even if there were some minor difficulties and troubles, she had already identified Lu Changkong and was destined to be with him for the rest of her life. At the same time, Lu Changkong discovered a loophole in the Lu family's military salary, and decided to stay and advance together with his father. When he deliberately lost his temper and drove Xie Ying away, in order to protect Song Xiangyun, he personally wrote a divorce letter and handed it to her.

However, Song Xiangyun had already heard that the supervisory censor was secretly investigating the files and ledgers of the Lu family, and guessed that Lu Changkong must have done this to protect himself, so he ran to see him because he was worried. Lu Changkong pretended not to care, saying that the four generations of good generals of the Lu family had devoted themselves to their duties, so there was no way something would happen.

Lu Changkong asked Song Xiangyun why he felt that his infatuation with her would not change. Although they grew up together as childhood sweethearts, their hearts would change, and it was difficult to guarantee their relationship. Knowing that Lu Changkong was duplicity, Song Xiangyun tore up the divorce letter in front of him, expressing that if he felt that saying these words would make him feel at ease, he was willing to cooperate, but there was no rush for the divorce, and it would not be too late to make a decision after the turmoil.
