Episode 18 recap: Zhu Liye and Zhu Ying Hua reunite.
The landlady discovers that someone has given candies to Haozi, and it turns out that the candy is the same kind her father used to give her when she was young. She asks Haozi about it, and Haozi reveals that the person asked him to call them his grandfather. That night, the landlady tells Wan Shi Tong that she suspects her father has come to the Eighth District, but she's not sure yet. Wan Shi Tong says that if it's indeed her father, he will help her kick him out.
However, to everyone's surprise, the landlady's father turns out to be her uncle. The landlady also sees her father and becomes emotionally overwhelmed, determined to drive him away. But her uncle quickly becomes friendly with her subordinates, and they are all unaware that he is actually the landlady's father. The landlady's real name is Zhu Ying Hua, and her uncle pretends to be innocent, even though he had previously disregarded Zhu Ying Hua because of a birthmark on her forehead.
The uncle drinks a lot of alcohol and accidentally falls to the ground, bleeding from his head. Zhu Ying Hua helps him with some basic first aid, but she still doesn't recognize him as her father. Huo Bao Jie advises the landlady to reconcile with her father. When the landlady approaches her father, he asks her how they can reconcile. Zhu Ying Hua approaches him with a gun and says that if he's willing to shoot her, she will forgive him. The uncle fires a shot at himself, but it's just a blank. Since he was willing to go that far, Zhu Ying Hua forgives him.
The uncle asks Zhu Ying Hua about the whereabouts of her husband, and she informs him that he passed away two years ago. The uncle feels regretful that he never met his son-in-law. He also reveals that he is currently being suppressed by Zhu Ying Tai and hopes that Zhu Ying Hua will help him take down the Zhu family together. It turns out that he came with a purpose this time.
Huo Bao Jinxing, who was eavesdropping behind the curtain, is naturally very dissatisfied with the uncle's behavior and throws him out of Luhe Pavilion. Zhu Ying Tai sends her mother to the Buddhist hall to chant scriptures, and her mother feigns illness and stays in the hospital, hoping that Zhu Ying Tai will come and visit her. However, when they meet, they have a big argument. After discovering her mother's pretense, Zhu Ying Tai gets angry and prepares to leave.
As a result, Zhu Ying Tai is scolded by the butler uncle, as the Zhu family now only consists of Zhu Ying Tai and her mother. Upset about the situation, Zhu Ying Tai goes to drink, and it is at this moment that someone informs her that the uncle went to the Eighth District to meet someone with a red birthmark on their forehead.
After taking the medicine given by Xiao Ma, Luo Milan's headache improved significantly. Zhu Liye has started to suspect that someone has been poisoning Luo Su by using a certain medicine, and it turns out that the person responsible is Xiao Ma. Molly is aware of this but quickly brushes it off.
Xiao Ma instructs her daughter to keep an eye on Zhu Liye and ensure she doesn't interfere. Zhu Liye continues to investigate the matter, but the other party demands 500,000 yuan. Zhu Liye asks for some time to raise the money. When she returns home, she tells Romeo about the situation. Romeo is worried that Zhu Liye will get hurt and advises her to stop getting involved.
Zhu Ying Tai manages to find Zhu Ying Hua, and Zhu Ying Hua is greatly surprised to see her sister. They embrace each other and shed tears, as many people believed Zhu Ying Tai was dead. They discuss their childhood memories, and Zhu Ying Tai mentions that if it weren't for her brother back then, she might have been the one who died.
Zhu Ying Hua explains that the reason she left back then was because their father was forcing her to compete with Zhu Ying Qiao for position. She didn't want to be a pawn in their father's game, so she chose to leave. Zhu Ying Tai also talks about her experiences over the years, revealing that the person she liked the most was someone she met when she was 18. Zhu Ying Hua mentions that she has recently developed feelings for someone and promises to introduce him to Zhu Ying Tai when he returns.
Zhu Liye still refuses to give up on obtaining the list. She believes that it may help her find the culprit. She borrows 100,000 yuan from Rose and her group, intending to buy the list. However, she ends up being deceived, and the other party even claims that Zhu Liye was the one buying medicine. The police arrive to arrest her, but Zhu Liye manages to escape.
At this point, there is nobody she can trust, so Zhu Liye cannot reveal her location to her family. Luo Milan is currently very agitated and believes that Zhu Liye is responsible for her father's death. Xiao Ma pretends to believe in Zhu Liye and promises to help resolve everything once she appears. Wan Shi Tong finally returns to Luhe Pavilion, and Zhu Ying Hua quickly introduces Zhu Ying Tai to him. However, Wan Shi Tong never expected that the former Zhu Ying Qiao would turn out to be Zhu Ying Tai.
