Episode 12 recap: Gu Xinghe finds the culprit.
Lu Qing Er called Bao Rou Rou to the backyard, intending to push her into the water to let Gu Xinghe see Bao Rou Rou's true identity. However, Lu Qing Er accidentally fell into the water herself. Bao Rou Rou hesitated for a moment but ultimately jumped in to save Lu Qing Er. Upon hearing the commotion, Yi Qi Feng arrived, and Bao Rou Rou quickly fled. The next day, Lu Qing Er came to find Bao Rou Rou and expressed gratitude for Bao Rou Rou's rescue, promising to help whenever Bao Rou Rou needed it.
Lu Qing Er tore up the marriage contract, indicating that Gu Xinghe was now free. Gu Xinghe was somewhat puzzled and didn't understand what was going on with Lu Qing Er. Gu Xinghe ordered someone to investigate Chun Lan's background. Zhao Bu Tou returned and revealed that Chun Lan had a previous husband named Chen Liang. Zhao Bu Tou also brought a portrait of Ding You Cheng, which looked very different from the current Ding You Cheng.
Gu Xinghe noticed a strong resemblance between Chen Yan and the current Ding You Cheng. Gu Xinghe went to Wang Ren's room and found snake venom on a carving knife, realizing that the culprit used it to poison Wang Ren. Gu Xinghe gathered everyone together and revealed that Ding You Cheng was the culprit and that he was actually Chen Yan. Chen Yan admitted it, and Zhao Bu Tou asked how he escaped from prison.
Chen Yan didn't answer and instead revealed that the carving knife was in his own hand. He cut his own hand, used the snake venom to commit suicide.
