Yan Xing was confused in her dream, and the skylark was full of smiles, saying that she and Shen Du were about to get married, and this place had become her destination, urging Yan Xing to leave quickly. As soon as the dream changed, a mysterious voice lingered in his ears, asking Yan Xing how he would choose between the truth he has been seeking all his life and Shen Du. Yan Xing was in a state of confusion, crying out that he did not want to choose one of the two. Suddenly he woke up and realized that everything was just a dream. Although the dream has passed, Yan Xing is still in deep turmoil. The entanglement between truth and emotion makes Yan Xing fall into deep thinking.
Yan Xing woke up from his dream. The hour of the unitary hour had arrived. The maid was waiting outside the door and led him to the study. Shen Du has already prepared the old case files of Jinxiufang and organized them in detail for Yan Xing to study together. When Yan Xing heard this, he felt happy and knew that Shen Du was determined to retry the case and that there was hope for justice.
Lu Chuicui came to report excitedly and praised Shendu's speech in the main hall. In the end, the Empress Dowager agreed to restart the trial of the old case, and there was no lack of luck in it. Yan Xing smiled and said that although Shen Du treated him with dignity, he could not hide his impartiality. Lu Chuichui was full of praise for Shen Du and called him heroic, while Yan Xing joked that Shen Du was cold and hard to approach. During the conversation, Shen Du happened to pass by and smiled slightly when he heard this, as if he acquiesced to the relaxed atmosphere.
When Yunque arrived with his belongings, Jing Lin quickly dissuaded him, fearing that it would be inappropriate to disturb Shen Du at this moment. Skylark disagreed and said with a smile that he was not an outsider and did not need to avoid suspicion. Jing Lin changed the topic and mentioned that the Yunque family and Jinxiufang had close contacts in the past, but miraculously they were not affected. He was confused and confused. When Yunque heard this, his face darkened, and he asked Jing Lin if he was doubting himself.
Princess Yong'an visited Princess Lu Ning and talked about the reopening of old cases. Her words revealed deep worries about the past. She said frankly that she always felt that the case was related to her, and her words revealed her uneasiness. Princess Lu Ning dealt with it indifferently, thinking that the deceased was already dead, and there was no difference between trial and non-trial. Princess Yong'an also mentioned that when the wise king came to visit, she asked Lu Ning for divination and asked if it could also be used for divination for herself. Lu Ning humbly declined, saying that his cultivation was shallow and he was not qualified for the job. Princess Yong'an left sadly, but Shen Du appeared quietly and proposed a plan, vowing to clear Princess Yong'an's innocence.
Pan Chi was ordered to pick up Yun Que's parents. The two elders mistakenly thought they were here for Yun Que and Shen Du's marriage, and their faces were full of joy. Shen Du was shocked when he heard this and asked Pan Chi why. Pan Chi defended his innocence, saying that he only followed orders to lead people and did not expect such a misunderstanding. Shen Du and Yan Xing quickly clarified that although Yunque lived in the mansion, there was no actual marriage contract, and asked the two elders to detail the old events of Jinxiufang in order to reveal the truth.
Skylark's parents were hesitant, but Yan Xing spoke sharply, implying that if they had nothing to do with him, there was no need for protection, and wanted to make him leave immediately. The two elders finally told the truth, saying that they were threatened to conceal the incident at Jinxiufang. The evidence obtained by Yunque now also came from the hands of the threatener, with the intention of using Yunque's hands to reveal the truth. After hearing the news, Skylark came in and vowed that no matter the wind or rain, the family would share the burden.
