Episode 36 recap: Shen Jing Hong saw Rou Jia Gong Zhu enjoying herself.
Shen Jing Hong approached Rou Jia Gong Zhu and asked if she was responsible for the matter involving Mu Zhuo Hua. Rou Jia Gong Zhu admitted and said it was indeed her doing. Shen Jing Hong couldn't understand how Rou Jia Gong Zhu could manipulate even Mu Zhuo Hua, and Rou Jia Gong Zhu asked Shen Jing Hong why he cared so much about Mu Zhuo Hua.
Shen Jing Hong didn't say anything and simply walked away. Ye Mu Zhen arrived and thought this scene was more interesting than the one in the palace. Mu Zhuo Hua took Liu Yan back home, and the courtyard was already arranged. Mu Zhuo Hua explained that she felt the courtyard was too quiet and asked Guo Ju Li to decorate it, but she didn't expect Guo Ju Li to make it so grand.
Mu Zhuo Hua handed a purse to Liu Yan, saying she made it herself as a token. Liu Yan said that if she had known Mu Zhuo Hua intended to give her a status, she wouldn't have publicly admitted to being his mistress. Mu Zhuo Hua asked if Liu Yan regretted it.
Liu Yan said that now everyone knows she belongs to him. Liu Yan kissed Mu Zhuo Hua. Guo Ju Li, Zhi Jian, and Zhi Mo were drinking outside, and Guo Ju Li kept feeding Zhi Mo with good food, leaving Zhi Jian speechless.
Guo Ju Li mentioned that Mu Zhuo Hua initially planned to make a dress for Liu Yan, but her sewing skills were too poor. The fabric kept getting smaller as she cut it until it could only be made into a purse. Zhi Jian said they should roast the duck, but Guo Ju Li quickly took it away, saying it was the betrothal gift from their Miss to the Lord.
Liu Chen called Mu Zhuo Hua over and said he didn't fully understand the memorial from the Ministry of Revenue and asked Mu Zhuo Hua to explain it to him. Mu Zhuo Hua talked to Liu Chen for a long time, until it was evening. Liu Chen asked Mu Zhuo Hua to stay for dinner, but Mu Zhuo Hua quickly declined.
Liu Yan saw that Mu Zhuo Hua hadn't returned yet, so she went to the palace to pick him up. Mu Zhuo Hua asked if Liu Yan was jealous and explained that Liu Chen just stayed up late and asked him to stay for dinner. Liu Yan felt that there was no reason to keep someone up so late.
Rou Jia Gong Zhu approached Shen Jing Hong and said that he was the only one who truly understood her. Zhen Guo Da Chang Gong Zhu doted on her, but he didn't understand her.
Shen Jing Hong didn't say anything, but he has been drowning his sorrows in alcohol lately. He hasn't been to Rou Jia Gong Zhu's place for a while, so Rou Jia Gong Zhu asked one of her maids and learned that Shen Jing Hong has been at Xiao Qin Palace recently.
Rou Jia Gong Zhu was drinking with a group of men, having a merry time. Shen Jing Hong saw this and commented on her cheerful mood, which angered him, and he left. After Shen Jing Hong left, Rou Jia Gong Zhu told those men to leave.
People were discussing the candidate for the position of Minister of Revenue. Some thought Shen Jing Hong was highly suitable, but Liu Yan believed that he was too young and lacked thorough consideration in his actions. She thought he should gain more experience and shouldn't take on the role of minister at this time. Liu Yan and the ministers argued, and Liu Chen reprimanded Liu Yan and withheld his salary.
Rou Jia Gong Zhu went to find Shen Jing Hong and asked him what he was thinking, whether he intended to continue ignoring her. She mentioned that she even degraded herself for him by acting in a play. Shen Jing Hong didn't know how to respond to Rou Jia Gong Zhu. He hasn't figured out how to proceed.
Ye Mu Zhen saw Rou Jia Gong Zhu and mentioned that Shen Jing Hong was drunk, so she was going to comfort him. Shen Jing Hong was brooding in his room when Ye Mu Zhen came to see him. Ye Mu Zhen also drank a lot and commented that Rou Jia Gong Zhu wasn't a good person. He advised Shen Jing Hong not to think about her anymore because Rou Jia Gong Zhu had collaborated with his older brother. It was Rou Jia Gong Zhu who had handed over the undercover agent from Bei Liang back then.
Realizing what he had said, Ye Mu Zhen quickly corrected himself, claiming he hadn't said anything and hastily left. Shen Jing Hong was surprised by this revelation. He hadn't expected Rou Jia Gong Zhu to be involved in such actions.
