Jiang Changyang found an excuse to go to Luoyang. Before leaving, he asked Mudan with concern if he needed anything to bring back.Mudan was not polite. Since the carriage fee was unavoidable, she listed four items.As for the relatives and friends she wants to visit, Mudan said that He's daughter has passed away and she has no relatives or friends in Luoyang.Jiang Changyang specially prepared a huge phoenix kite for Peony and flew it into the sky. The belly of the kite scattered petals. This scene made Peony unforgettable.Jiang Changyang also told her affectionately that no matter where she is in the future, as long as she sees the bright moon, she will not feel lonely.On the other side, Shengyi and Wang Qing were entangled again and accidentally let Wang Qing know that Mu Dan had a family in Luoyang.Wang Qing had evil intentions and tricked Shengyi into telling a lot about Peony's past in Luoyang.
The head of Ji'an County copied the Lotus Sutra for many days in order to have a smooth marriage.Li Youzhen knew Liu Chang's every move in the Dian Stable Department very well. It was said that he was exhausted due to his busy work. In his free time, he would go to a wine shop to have a few drinks and go to Zhong Nanshan.After learning that there was a flower shop opposite the wine shop that Liu Chang frequented, and that the owner was He Weifang, Li Youzhen immediately went to the Liu Mansion to question, and asked Liu Shen to take a carriage from Prince Ning's Mansion to reveal He Weifang's true identity.Ren Jingzhao there was a smooth man, and he knew what to do when he saw Prince Ning's carriage.But if the two elders Liu Shen come forward in this matter, Liu Chang will definitely become suspicious.After listening to Li Youzhen's plan, Liu Shen said that he would find an unrelated person to report He Weifang.
Wang Qing tricked Shengyi into signing the marriage contract and taking her fingerprints, making her drink Hexin wine and fall into a coma. He then went to Jingzhao Mansion to report that He Weifang had forged good credentials and made money in Huahua Shop in the city.Liu Shen and his wife attended the trial as witnesses.Soon, officials from Jingzhao Mansion came to arrest people. He Weifang hurriedly asked Zhu Fu to notify Xu Jijiu to escape to avoid being discovered.And she herself was caught in Jingzhao Mansion.Outside Jingzhao Mansion, Mudan saw a luxurious sedan chair and expected that there must be an extraordinary person sitting inside.Ren Jingzhao and Tai Fuqing colluded with each other. Mudan, as a commoner, was unable to compete with them. She was eventually demoted to an official slave and sent to a military camp outside the city. She was deprived of her good status and her property was confiscated.After Shengyi woke up, she found that the doors and windows were locked. She pushed open the door and ran out, only to find that Huamanzhu had been occupied by Wang Qing.
Wang Qing deliberately provoked the sisterhood between Zhu Fu and Shengyi, and framed Shengyi for conspiring with him to occupy Huamanzhu.Zhu Fu hated Shengyi with all his heart, and he was also full of anger towards Wang Qing, but Wang Qing was outnumbered and injured Zhu Fu.Lu Gengchun persuaded Zhu Fu not to confront the opponent head-on, so Zhu Fu cut ties with Shengyi.After Mudan was beaten sixty times with a cane, he was sent to the military camp outside the city as a sin slave.A mute girl who was also a sin slave saw that Mudan's eyes resembled those of her sister, so she took special care of Mudan.This was the first kind person Mudan met after arriving at the military camp. They washed clothes together, and when they couldn't get acacias, they burned weeds to make ashes that had a decontamination effect.The porridge distributed to the sin slaves in the military camp was pitifully thin. When the strong sin slaves saw Mudan, a weak woman, they took her porridge away from her when she was not prepared.
Mudan was dissatisfied and complained to the officers and soldiers, but the officers and soldiers ignored her and blamed her for not being able to protect her even a bowl of porridge.Only then did Mudan realize that in the military camp, the sin slaves had no dignity at all.She and the mute girl supported each other and struggled to survive in the military camp.At this moment, Jiang Changyang has arrived in Luoyang and is drinking, having fun and socializing with the officials in Luoyang. He still knows nothing about what Mudan encountered in Chang'an.
