Lan Xiang saw Jin Qi covered in scars. Although she felt pity for him, she was not moved by it.She noticed that he was cold, so she wrapped him in a quilt and made him drink ginger soup.When she arrived in the capital, an even greater shock awaited her: the house given to the Lin family by the emperor was actually the Shen Mansion back then.The corridors and houses all brought back old memories, and she instantly recognized the running sister Zhi as her younger sister Jialian.

The eldest aunt and her husband Lu Jian have already helped clean up the house.Lu Jian worked diligently because he hoped that Jin Qi would find a job for him in the Ministry of War.Jin Qi came here for the first time and wanted to straighten out the affairs first, then discuss arrangements and let his sister convey them.Lanxiang walked into her old parents' dormitory and couldn't calm down for a long time.Jin Qi heard that she wanted to live there, and even though it was a house originally reserved for her elders, she immediately agreed.

Lan Xiang borrowed Jiugao from him to find Ji'er, which was considered as a way to avoid drugging.Jiugao quickly found someone, and Lanxiang rushed there, just as she was being bullied by the shopkeeper's wife.She protected Ji'er first, and after asking, she found out that the real owner's wife was in the hands of the owner, and this owner was none other than Zhao Xingtang, who had remarried to the Dai family.Jin Qi suggested that she write a letter of thanks to the Queen and use the Queen's power to pressure Xingtang to release her, but Lan Xiang was unwilling to use her power to force her.

She bluntly said that it was because no one in her family was an official that she was forcibly married by Jin Qi.Jin Qi thought he was respectful enough, but in his heart he still regarded this marriage as a high achievement for her and hoped that she would be grateful.The dispute between the two made him unhappy, but Lanxiang still decided to find a way on her own.She inquired about the Furong Opera Troupe in the capital. The troupe leader was Furong Xiu's disciple and was willing to help. She also told her that Qingfu had returned to Xingtang.

Although Xingtang became Mrs. Dai, her stepsons were older than her and were not taken seriously by her husband's family.Lan Xiang took the initiative to see her and met several ladies, Chui Wan, including the wife of Jin Qi's boss and Dai Rong's wife.Everyone laughed at her for being ignorant, so she said that she had never seen such interactions between the governor's wife and the family members of the guilty ministers in Jinling.Some people blamed Jin Qi for Dai Rong's accident, but she also pointed out that Dai Rong colluded with Japanese pirates and committed suicide out of fear of crime. How could he blame others, which temporarily silenced the other party.
