In the dream, Xue Fangfei was wearing a red dress and walking in the forest with her husband, like a dream.However, when she woke up from her dream, she found that her clothes were messy and a strange man was lying next to her.The man forcibly violated her, and this scene happened to be caught by Shen's mother and Shen Ruyun.Instead of helping her, they falsely accused her of having an affair, tied her up, and locked her in a dark woodshed.

Shen Yurong, her husband, finally opened the door of the woodshed.He picked up the ax without expression and cut off the shackles that bound Xue Fangfei.Xue Fangfei eagerly explained her innocence to him, but Shen Yurong remained expressionless and lied that he would take her away from this place of right and wrong.

However, there are unforeseen circumstances.On a night of thunder and lightning, Xue Fangfei drank the water given by Shen Yurong and fell into a deep sleep.When she woke up again, she found herself thrown into a deep pit.She tried to ask the reason, but Shen Yurong told her coldly that for the benefit of the family, he had to sacrifice her.Xue Fangfei's heart was as sharp as a knife. She hated Shen Yurong's ruthlessness and even more hated her own stupidity.

With tears in her eyes, Shen Yurong knocked Xue Fangfei unconscious with a shovel, and then buried her in a deep pit.He threw away the bamboo flute that was their love object, and then rode away.However, shortly after he left, a hand struggled out of the soil.

Afterwards, Shen Yurong told the eldest princess Wan Ning all this.Although Wan Ning pretended to be surprised and angry on the surface, she was secretly happy in her heart.She knew that all of this was her own plan.Although Shen Yurong knew that Wan Ning was behind the scenes, he had no choice but to swallow the bitter pill because the other party was so powerful.

In another corner, Xiao Heng is investigating a salt case.He successfully captured Shopkeeper Jia and others involved in the case, and forced him to interrogate Mr. Qin who was behind it.However, just as they were preparing to take further action, a group of men in black suddenly appeared and tried to kill Shopkeeper Jia.Fortunately, Xiao Heng was alert and blocked the plot of the man in black.

At the same time, Jiang Li and Tong'er accidentally rescued the injured Xue Fangfei while cutting firewood.Seeing Xue Fangfei dying, Jiang Li couldn't help but think of her own experience.She comforted Xue Fangfei and told her that only by living could she hope to be reborn.

Jiang Li and Tong'er returned to the Virgin Hall, prepared food and went out again. They were stopped by their fellow disciples, saying that the hall master had told them to wait until the weather cleared outside before going to chop wood.Jiang Li was worried that Xue Fangfei would starve, so she sneaked out at night and was caught by the hall master and others.The hall master beat and scolded Jiang Li in public, thinking that she went out to meet a man in the middle of the night, regardless of Jiang Li's explanation.

The leader of the hall punished Jiang Li severely with a stick and signaled that others should participate as a warning.Tong'er wanted to take the beating for Jiang Li, but was pulled away by her classmates. Jiang Li was beaten dozens of times and was seriously injured.Xue Fangfei left the place and happened to arrive at Privet Hall. She accidentally saw the hall master and others leaving and heard them talking about Jiang Li.

While the hall master and others were away, Xue Fangfei slipped into the Privet Hall and saw the dying Jiang Li.Jiang Li told Xue Fangfei about her life experience. Xue Fangfei learned that Jiang Li was framed by her stepmother when she was young and was sent to Privet Hall by her father to be punished for ten years. She expressed sympathy and persuaded Jiang Li to hold on.

Jiang Li knew that she didn't have much time, so she gave Xue Fangfei the hairpin that could prove her identity, hoping that she could convey her grievances to her father.Jiang Li breathed her last breath and saw her deceased mother Ye Zhenzhen in the hallucination and followed her away.

When the hall master came back, he found that Jiang Li was not breathing. He was at a loss and was afraid of being discovered.Xue Fangfei suddenly appeared and threatened her, saying that she could replace Jiang Li.
