Song Mo bravely led his men to raid the Dongyu bandit's ship and successfully forced out that their base camp was located on Zhoudao.This victory refreshed Song Mo, and he immediately requested to attack Zhoudao, eager to leave his name in the history of Qing Dynasty.
The people of Futing were immersed in joy and laughter. When they heard that the Dingguo army had returned in triumph, they even lined the streets to welcome them.At this time, Marshal Song Mo had led his troops to capture Zhoudao and gained a lot.Yan Chaoqing suddenly came to report that Song Mo's father, British Duke Song Yichun, had arrived at the military camp.Song Yichun was kidnapped by Jiang Meisun for delaying military intelligence and was facing whipping.Just when Song Mo returned, he had made military exploits and was willing to accept them on his father's behalf.Under the pleading of everyone, Jiang Meisun ordered Song Mo to be whipped ten times, but he felt deeply heartbroken.He knew that Song Mo's raid on Zhoudao was actually to plead for his father.
When applying medicine to Song Mo, Jiang Meisun regretted marrying his sister to Song Yichun and revealed Song Mo's intentions.He lamented that his nephew had such a father.
On the other side, Zhao Si's daughter Zhao Zhangru prays for a good harvest and wealth every day.Dou Zhao did not believe this. She asserted that the pirates would be wiped out this year and they could take advantage of the opportunity to make a fortune.Zhao Zhangru teased Dou Zhao for being his daughter Zhuge, while Dou Zhao laughed at Zhao Zhang for not being able to find a good husband this year.While the two sisters were quarreling, the maid Su Su came to announce the good news, but due to the quarrel, the banknote fell into the water.
Su Su praised Dou Zhao for his clever calculation. The supplies he hoarded last year have increased in price this year.But Dou Zhao decided to sell all the goods and ships because she believed that after the pirates were eliminated, local officials would increase taxes and the business would be difficult to maintain.Zhao Zhangru believed in Dou Zhao's judgment.
At this time, the government suddenly sent someone to say that Dou Shiying was seriously ill and hoped that Dou Zhao could go back to visit.Dou Zhao was initially reluctant, but at the suggestion of her master Chen Qushui, she agreed.
When Song Mo returned home, he brought back a sword for his younger brother.However, Song Yichun was always dissatisfied with Song Mo, especially angry with Jiang Meisun's attitude.Jiang Huisun tried hard to persuade him to make peace and comfort his son.When Song Mo defended Jiang Meisun, Song Yichun questioned his identity.
Song Mo, who was in a depressed mood, came to the street and saw a warm scene of a father accompanying his children. Thinking of his treatment in front of his father, he felt lonely.
At this time, Dou Zhao also returned home.She saw that the guests were all the children of dignitaries, and she understood the purpose of this banquet.Dou Ming excitedly stepped forward to greet them, but Wang Yingxue urged them to meet the guests.Dou Zhao directly pointed out the truth today and expressed his attitude, unwilling to be used to build relationships.
At the banquet, Dou Zhao's sharp words satirized those who followed the trend.Her talent was appreciated by Wu Shan.
When Dou Zhao left the banquet, he found someone following him.She bought a mask and put it on, while Song Mo was also wearing a mask on the street.
