Episode 10 recap: Lao Tai Jun learned about Ke Shi Zhao's wrongdoing.
Since Du Bing Yan and Yuan Bu Qu never had a formal wedding ceremony, this time they had a simple wedding in the military camp. After all, they were deeply in love, and even if they boarded the wrong sedan chair, as long as they married the right person, it was enough. Yuan Bu Qu took out Du Bing Yan's severed hair and also cut off some of her own hair. Du Bing Yan placed them together, symbolizing their status as a married couple.
Zhong Da Niang prepared all the medicinal herbs for Liu Ruo Qian and even bought him a new set of clothes. Deep down, Zhong Da Niang was somewhat unhappy because they hadn't seen each other for three years, but Liu Ruo Qian had to leave. Zhong Da Niang wanted to accompany Liu Ruo Qian to the military camp, but he refused. After all, the camp environment was too complex and unsafe. Liu Ruo Qian expressed that he was already content to see his wife.
Before leaving, Liu Ruo Qian warned Qi Tian Lei and Ji Jing Tang to be cautious of Ke Shi Zhao. After all, he was cunning and malicious. They would need to help each other in the coming time. Then, Liu Ruo Qian set off on the road to the military camp. However, he suddenly discovered an ambush on the way. Before he could react, a stranger appeared. Liu Ruo Qian recognized his wife through her skills and didn't fight back. Zhong Da Niang still worried about Liu Ruo Qian and said that no matter where he went, she would follow him. Liu Ruo Qian jokingly said he couldn't do anything about her, but deep down, he was also happy. After all, being together as a couple meant they could take care of each other.
Qi Tian Lei also informed Li Yu Hu about Ke Shi Zhao's situation. Qi Tian Lei had been wanting to find out the truth about the deaths of their two brothers. Ke Shi Zhao had always been in the mansion, but Li Yu Hu casually mentioned a task that could make him leave. Qi Tian Lei suddenly thought of asking Ke Shi Zhao to reclaim a business property in another city. Ke Shi Zhao quickly received the task ordered by Lao Tai Jun. He informed Xiao Qiao about the situation and learned that Qi Tian Lei had influenced Lao Tai Jun. Ke Shi Zhao asked Xiao Qiao to keep a close eye on the mansion after he left.
Qi Tian Lei told Lao Tai Jun that there is a skilled theater troupe recently, and they sing very well. Lao Tai Jun asked Qi Tian Lei to invite them over. Qi Tian Lei deliberately arranged the events that happened to the Ji Jing Tang family into a theatrical performance for Lao Tai Jun to watch. After watching it, Lao Tai Jun was deeply moved. Qi Tian Lei then informed Lao Tai Jun about the situation and suggested letting Lao Tai Jun meet Ji Jing Tang. Lao Tai Jun naturally agreed. Li Yu Hu intentionally kept Xiao Qiao occupied, and Qi Tian Lei brought Ji Jing Tang in. Ji Jing Tang recounted the ordeal faced by their parents.
Originally, Ji Jing Tang's family was in the business of medicinal herbs, but the Zhou family coveted their auspicious location. At first, they tried to buy them out, but Ji Jing Tang's father refused to sell. Later, they framed Ji Jing Tang deliberately. They found a pair of beggar women and invited them to their house, providing them with food and drink. After some time, Son of a beggar fell ill. They took him to a doctor in Langzhong and obtained medicine from Ji Jing Tang's father's pharmacy. At the time, Father didn't notice anything unusual, but he didn't know that the medicine they took back was tampered with. After Son of a beggar consumed it, he began bleeding from his seven orifices and died on the spot. All the blame was shifted onto Ji Jing Tang's father, and they even caused a scene at their doorstep. Ji Jing Tang's father died in prison while maintaining his innocence. The beggar mother felt that something was amiss with her son's death and wanted to investigate, but Ke Shi Zhao was worried about being exposed, so he ruthlessly eliminated the beggar mother. Ji Jing Tang was originally planning to report Ke Shi Zhao together with the beggar mother, but they got separated while fleeing.
Lao Tai Jun was greatly surprised to learn that Ke Shi Zhao was the person who framed the Ji Jing Tang family. In order to make Lao Tai Jun believe this, Ji Jing Tang even presented a letter left by his father for Lao Tai Jun to see. After reading it, Lao Tai Jun hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he decided to give only a small sum of money and let Ji Jing Tang leave. Ji Jing Tang didn't care about the money at all. Since Lao Tai Jun refused to intervene on his behalf, he had no choice but to leave. However, their conversation was overheard by Xiao Qiao. Qi Tian Lei was still trying to persuade Lao Tai Jun and mentioned the mysterious deaths of two brothers and how Qi Yan Sheng, their sister, suddenly became mute. Lao Tai Jun told Qi Tian Lei to stop talking about it.
When Ke Shi Zhao returned, Xiao Qiao informed him about Ji Jing Tang's visit to the mansion. However, she didn't hear the content of their conversation. Ke Shi Zhao immediately thought of going to Lao Tai Jun to inquire about the matter.
