Xiao Lian doesn't want to muddle along and give birth to a child for her uncle. She wants to get married officially and live her own life.She liked Jialan and didn't want her to encounter the same arrangement, so she prayed every day that her eldest grandma would get pregnant as soon as possible so that everyone could avoid this problem.Jialan looked at Xiaolian, thinking of her sister, and felt even more sorry for this simple girl.

Xu Wanquan spent money on things, but still couldn't find a reliable messenger.Xiaolian's mother collected night incense in the mansion and was able to enter the inner courtyard every night. After hearing about the Xu family's difficulties, she was willing to help.Osmanthus asked her to bring thick clothes, and Jialan put on the clothes sewn by her mother, and finally no longer suffered from the cold while working.At the same time, Jin Qi went to Rongbao Pavilion to check the accounts. The big shopkeeper truthfully told the strange things about the account books, and the clues pointed to Xingtang's dowry shop, Jinxiufang.The shopkeeper who always presented himself as a woman was Xingtang's cousin.

Xingtang asked his daughter-in-law to tell stories to relieve her boredom, but when she heard the story of Mrs. Fu's secret meeting with her lover, she became angry and accidentally dropped her beloved fox fur shawl on the stove.Zi Jin failed to save her, and a piece of her shawl was burned.Xingtang remembered that Jialan said that her mother could sew and thread, so she gave her the job of repairing. If she repaired well, she would be rewarded, and if she repaired poorly, she would be punished.Jialan guessed the clue from Xingtang's reaction.Xiaolian came back and told her that in the story, after the mistress failed, all the servants around her suffered. Jialan became more and more worried that she would be implicated.

Jin Qi asked Xingtang to use the seal in person to see if she had a seal in her hand that matched the accounts.Xingtang always blocked it, refusing to allow anyone to see clearly.He simply knocked over the printing box, and Jiugao checked it while he was packing it up, but couldn't find the target.It turned out that Jialan had secretly hidden the seal in her shawl and covered it up for Xingtang.After Jin Qi left, Xingtang and Zi Jin looked around. The seal fell out of the shawl. The red mark left on it told her that Jialan had helped, so she rewarded her with a silver ring.

Jialan was not completely unprepared. She had left the mark on her arm in advance.Recalling that her mother once talked about the mandarin duck seal, she knew that this kind of seal had another half, and the matter was not over yet.When Xingtang went to Jinxiufang again, Jialan offered to accompany him, hoping to find out for himself what secrets were hidden in the shop.
