Shen Ruyun told Shen Yurong about the bet. She thought that Xue Fangfei was not smart enough to boast about Haikou. At first, she was worried that Xue Fangfei was coming back for revenge, but now she feels that they just look alike. Shen Yurong didn't want to hear it, but Shen Ruyun mentioned Xue Fangfei repeatedly, and Shen Yurong slapped the table angrily, telling her not to be presumptuous. Shen Ruyun persuaded him not to live in the study and move back to the bedroom, but Shen Yurong asked her to go out.
In the middle of the night, Shen Yurong entered the room with disheveled hair and a candle. The room was full of gray. He recalled the past with Xue Fangfei and was sentimental alone. But when he thought of burying Xue Fangfei with his own hands, he was frightened out of his immersion.
Zhi Yan charmed the lonely young master, and the lonely young master promised to redeem her life in the future, but he did not expect that it was Xiao Heng who arranged it. Xiao Heng and others caught Mr. Lonely and interrogated him where he had moved the deficit of the Salt and Iron Division. Wenji threatened to turn him into a eunuch, but Lonely Master was afraid and told the truth about Kong Zhaofeng's move of the stolen money. He only knew that the stolen money was moved to the theater.
Afterwards, Xiao Heng paid a lot of money to thank Zhiyan, but Zhiyan was not interested in money and just wanted to be grateful to the Xiao family. She was rescued by Xiao Heng's mother, Yu Hongye, and she had always suspected that there was another reason for the death of Yu Hongye and General Xiao. Xiao Heng said he was ruthless, but in fact he was thinking about his parents. He stood upstairs and lost himself in childhood memories. Back then, his parents were going to fight in southern Xinjiang and asked Peng Guang to send Xiao Heng back to the Xiao family. Xiao Heng cried and wanted to be with his parents. But afterwards, his father died on the battlefield, and Xiao's grandfather Xiao Dachuan showed no sadness. Xiao Heng thought his grandfather was ruthless, so he decided to find out the cause of his father's death. After his father left, his mother followed him in red.
Tong'er learned about Xue Fangfei's bet and was worried that she would return to the Virgin Hall if she lost. Xue Fangfei was certain in her heart that she would take this opportunity to win the first prize and let Jiang Li truly return to her identity, preventing others from making rash comments. She also wanted to know the person behind Shen Yurong who instigated him to harm her. She could sense that this person was extremely wealthy, but for some reason he was targeting her and her family.
Shen Yurong was writing at Wan Ning's place. Wan Ning heard about the bet and asked him who he thought would win. Shen Yurong was upset, and he casually said that the Young Master of the Li family would win. Wan Ning saw that he was unstable and said that he would not lie. Shen Yurong apologized, and her anger subsided, asking Shen Yurong to go out and support Jiang Liying.
Ji Shuran told Jiang Yunbai about the bet, and Jiang Yunbai angrily asked Xue Fangfei for questioning. Xue Fangfei pretended to kneel down and told Jiang Yuanbai her grievances. She did not want her father to be humiliated and hoped that his father would support her. After hearing this, Jiang Yunbai supported Xue Fangfei and asked Jiang Ruoyao to give her the good piano.
Xue Fangfei was good at playing the piano, and Jiang Jingrui was impressed by her, but her wrist was injured and she couldn't play the piano. The doctor diagnosed that she had an old injury and may need to recover for a month. Xue Fangfei remembered that the old injury was caused by being tied up, and Tong'er was worried that she would not be able to play the piano.
Jiang Jingrui was good at playing chess, and he hung his head from the beam all day long to study chess skills. Jiang Yuanping and his wife felt unbelievable. Liu Xu is good at archery and practices how to hit the target all day long, while Ye Shijie immerses himself in studying knowledge. Liuxu was attracted by Xue Fangfei's tenacity and determined to do her best to prepare. The two were practicing near the hunting ground, and Xiao Heng came over to give Liuxu some tips. She was indeed able to hit the target after changing her thumb ring. Xiao Heng took this opportunity to personally teach Xue Fangfei to practice self-defense, but found that her wrist was injured.
Xiao Heng asked Xue Fangfei to come to the Duke's Mansion for treatment today, but Xue Fangfei did not go and continued to practice the piano despite her injury. Seeing that there were still three days left before the New Year's exam, she tried to find Xiao Heng again, but Xiao Heng deliberately made her wait a little longer to punish her for breaking the appointment. Xiao Heng introduced Situ Jiuyue, known as the most poisonous hand, to her. Situ Jiuyue did not treat casually. Xiao Heng fulfilled the rules on her behalf, and Xue Fangfei proposed herself.
Situ Jiuyue asked her to guess the poisonous spider. If she loses, she will die. Xue Fangfei bet on Xiao Heng's hand, and could guess which spider was not poisonous from the look in Situ Jiuyue's eyes. Situ Jiuyue promised to treat her, but found that her injury required extreme methods, using scorpions to fight poison with poison. Xue Fangfei fell into a coma from the pain.
Situ Jiuyue felt that Xiao Heng was passionate about Xue Fangfei, but Xiao Heng did not respond directly. Situ Jiuyue asked him not to deceive him. Xue Fangfei thanked Xiao Heng for his help, but Xiao Heng did not accept it.
