Chen Lan, the sister-in-law of the Luo family, expressed to her grandmother that she hoped Luo Yiyu would marry Cheng Lang, but her grandmother had reservations about Cheng Lang.She revealed Cheng Lang's past to Chen Lan: he had been bullied by his brother since he was a child, and he kept silent until his uncle became successful, and he launched a revenge, causing his brother to die and escape, showing that he was not a good person.In addition, her uncle is young and promising, and her grandmother is even more reluctant to marry Yiyu into this complicated and unpredictable family.On the contrary, she preferred Liu Jing, who came from a scholarly family, but Chen Lan believed that the Liu family was only a sixth-rank official scholar and had concerns.

On the other side, Luo Yining accidentally learned from his grandfather that Cheng Lang mentioned Lu Jiaxue's preference for paper-cutting. Worrying that the secret would be leaked, Luo Yining hurriedly returned to the room and burned all the paper-cuttings.The maid didn't understand what he meant, so she dealt with it as she was told.When alone, Luo Yining recalled her past with Lu Jiaxue: She once got acquainted with the blind Lu Jiaxue because her kite strayed into a neighbor's house. She often gave him snacks, flowers and paper-cuts, and even helped him regain his sight. The two quietly fell in love.

At the same time, Luo Shenyuan continued to grow flowers and give them to others. Although he was ignored in the Luo Mansion, he was indifferent to fame and fortune and was eventually ignored by everyone.Luo Yining saw the white peonies given by Luo Shenyuan blooming in the house, and felt grateful and asked him about the true meaning of Cheng Lang's visit.Although Luo Shenyuan nodded and confirmed that Cheng Lang had an agenda, he did not elaborate on it and only promised to protect the Luo family.Luo Yining left peacefully.

As night falls, the housekeeper of the Luo Mansion reports the assassination of Muxitang to the old lady, and the old lady's worries finally become apparent.

On the other side, Lin Mao gave Luo Yixiu a special digestion and weight loss recipe to express his gratitude.Luo Yixiu noticed that Luo Yilian had frequent contact with Luo Yiyu and became suspicious.Soon, Luo Yining discovered that Luo Yiyu had sent a hot love poem to Cheng Lang with unopened lotus buds, so he dealt with it secretly and decided to secretly dissuade his eldest sister to prevent the marriage from affecting the family reputation.

The next day, Luo Yining cleverly recited the content of the love poem on the pretext of returning the handkerchief and proposing to embroider a poem, making Luo Yiyu realize that she had behaved inappropriately and promised not to contact Cheng Lang privately again.

Cheng Lang learned that the old lady often lived in Yixinzhai, and guessed that the things he needed were hidden there, so he lurked at night to steal it.Luo Shenyuan stopped him in time, and the two sides fought fiercely. A fire broke out in Yixinzhai, and the two finally evacuated.After the fire subsided, the servants found a corpse, which was identified by Cheng Lang's men and turned out to be Li Yinglong.Everyone mistakenly believed that Li Yinglong was also looking for testimony, and the testimony had disappeared with the fire.
