Episode 2 recap: Luo Qing Lian is framed.
Luo Qing Lian expresses that the Crown Prince is arrogant and mischievous, but the Lord still dotes on him because of the late Queen. If there were a woman who could replace the late Queen, the Crown Prince's position would naturally be in jeopardy. He Lian Xin claims not to understand, and Luo Qing Lian remarks that it's expected since He Lian Xin is an idle young master.
The Fourth Young Master happens to come out, and He Lian Xin pretends to be anxious, taking Luo Qing Lian into the carriage. The Fourth Young Master returns and tells the Fourth Madam about the situation. The Fourth Madam feels that something is amiss. Could it be that Lady Yao has really found someone similar? She quickly wants to go and see. The Fourth Young Master asks if she wants to see the woman or the Third Brother.
The Fourth Madam states that since she has chosen the Fourth Young Master, the title will only belong to the Fourth Young Master. Jin Fang Mama is here teaching Luo Qing Lian how to walk. Luo Qing Lian feels that this place is too small, making her chest feel suffocated. She wants to live in a bigger house. Lady Yao disagrees, stating that aside from He Lian Xin's courtyard, her place is the largest. Can't Luo Qing Lian fit in here?
Lady Yao claims to know what Luo Qing Lian is thinking. No woman can leave her beloved man and remain so calm. She tells her not to think about escaping. When Luo Qing Lian tries to run, she is caught and brought back. The Fourth Madam arrives, and He Lian Xin is also present, taking the Fourth Madam away.
He Lian Xin states that this pond is called Wei Xi Pond, built for the Fourth Madam. The Fourth Madam says that all those matters are in the past. He Lian Xin wonders if the Fourth Madam understands him or not. At that time, she thought he had no hope of gaining a title and gave up on him. Now she's testing him again. The Fourth Madam says that it's precisely because she has lost too much that she wants to ensure nothing goes wrong.
Lv Bei Yi wants to come and rescue Luo Qing Lian but is captured by Lady Yao's people, who have been waiting here since earlier.
Luo Qing Lian agrees to do as Lady Yao instructed in order to save Lv Bei Yi. Luo Qing Lian is locked in a room and sees a cat sneaking in.
Hui Er chases after the cat, wanting to bring the furry ball back. He feels like nobody at home cares about him. Even the furry ball wants to run away. Doesn't he treat the furry ball well? Luo Qing Lian thinks that the furry ball might prefer freedom. She feels that although Hui Er is noble, he doesn't live a happy life and perhaps isn't as good as children from ordinary families.
He Lian Xin arrives, and Hui Er wants him to release Luo Qing Lian. He Lian Xin says that Luo Qing Lian will be released tomorrow. He Lian Xin shows Luo Qing Lian the exam papers that Hui Er participated in, stating that Lv Bei Yi doesn't dislike fame and success. He only pretended not to like it because Luo Qing Lian didn't like it.
He Lian Xin tells Luo Qing Lian to forget about Lv Bei Yi. It's the best for both of them. Jin Fang Mama has been teaching Luo Qing Lian for several days, and now Luo Qing Lian's demeanor is becoming more and more like that of the late Queen.
Luo Qing Lian asks Jin Fang Mama why she treats her so well. Jin Fang Mama says that after Miss left, she always remembered Miss. The Lord would be even more miserable than herself. She hopes Luo Qing Lian can comfort the Lord. When Luo Qing Lian enters the palace to select attendants, there's a gust of wind, and tree leaves fall into the water basin. The water on Luo Qing Lian's side is still clean, so she lets everyone use hers.
Unexpectedly, the girls who used this water to wash their faces end up disfigured. Luo Qing Lian is called over, and the Prince of Peace sees Luo Qing Lian and is extremely surprised, as if he's seeing the late Queen. The fathers of these girls all come to the palace and demand severe punishment for the culprit. Luo Qing Lian claims that she didn't do it. He Lian Xin says that no one who harms others would poison their own water basin in front of everyone.
Other adults think that perhaps Luo Qing Lian used this method to wash away suspicion.
