Episode 3 recap: A Narrow Alley Encounters a Hero in Times of Danger.
Upon learning that her handkerchief had been lost, Lin Wanqing angrily interrogated Su Moyi, but she suspected that Su Moyi was deceiving her, so she decided to search for it herself. Lin Wanqing pretended to leave and then returned to her room to look for it. To her surprise, she discovered He De, whom Su Moyi had hidden. Lin Wanqing was shocked to find that He De was already dead. At that moment, Ye Qing rushed in, and Su Moyi confirmed that Lin Wanqing had no connection to He De's death.
Prince Liang used Lin Wanqing as bait and had someone else kill He De, seizing the opportunity to shift the blame onto Lin Wanqing and thereby ensuring his own escape. Lin Wanqing was released by the Dali Temple, and although she felt somewhat unsettled, she left the temple with a smile. Lai Luo followed Lin Wanqing as she left, but he was surprised when she returned to the Dali Temple kitchen.
Lin Wanqing wanted to retrieve her handkerchief, so she went to the kitchen and took two chili peppers to make herself cry, intending to play the sympathy card in front of Su Moyi and get her handkerchief back. After Lin Wanqing tearfully pleaded to Su Moyi, Su Moyi took her to search for the lost handkerchief. However, because the place was too smelly, Lin Wanqing ultimately decided to give up on the lost handkerchief.
After leaving the Dali Temple, Lin Wanqing planned to settle accounts with the toothless old woman at the dental clinic, but she unexpectedly witnessed an attempt on the old woman's life by Prince Liang's men. Lin Wanqing was nearly silenced by the assassins but fortunately escaped into a narrow alley where Su Moyi descended from above to save her. Lin Wanqing fainted after being rescued, and Su Moyi carried her back to the Dali Temple kitchen. This led others to speculate about the relationship between Lin Wanqing and Su Moyi.
Su Moyi did not find the mastermind behind He De's murder or uncover the whereabouts of the embezzled funds. She only obtained a short sword that represented the mastermind's identity and sent Lai Luo to investigate its origin.
