Episode 14 recap: Mrs. Li used a poisonous plan to harm Chi Yue.
Chi Yue was brought into the Li family ancestral hall, where Mrs. Li was waiting for her. In front of the villagers, Mrs. Li claimed that Chi Yue was possessed by a fox demon and had a strong appetite for chicken and duck. She initially used Zhang Dagui's name to purchase chickens and ducks, and later accused Chi Yue of stealing them. Luckily, Mr. Li had a dream and warned Chi Yue. In order to prevent Chi Yue from unleashing her animalistic instincts and harming people, Mrs. Li requested the village chief to lock Chi Yue in the ancestral hall.
Alone in the hall, Chi Yue felt cold and hungry. She decided to warm herself up by taking a sip of the wine on the altar. By chance, she noticed the thread on the tablet and realized it was all a scheme orchestrated by Mrs. Li. Determined to make Mrs. Li pay, Chi Yue made up her mind. Ji Hong, understanding the hardship Chi Yue endured in the ancestral hall at night, secretly took the village chief's key to help Chi Yue escape. However, Chi Yue didn't want to carry the reputation of being a fox demon and insisted on staying in the ancestral hall to prove her innocence.
Li Zixiong overheard the conversation between Li Cui, Li Lao Tai, and knew they planned to kill Chi Yue. He quickly went to find Li Ziqiang, Li Zichen, and Li Zixi. At that time, the three siblings were locked in the yard. When they heard that Chi Yue was going to be killed, they burst into tears. Li Zichen explained to Li Zixiong the situation and hoped that they could be released to save Chi Yue.
The next day, Mrs. Li saw Chi Yue perfectly fine in the ancestral hall. She brought Li Yi to pressure the village chief, demanding to use corporal punishment to drive out the fox demon that supposedly possessed Chi Yue. Seeing Chi Yue's fierce gaze, Mrs. Li ordered Li Cui to whip her. After several lashes, blood stains appeared on Chi Yue's back. Seeing that she refused to surrender, Mrs. Li instructed Li Cui to continue beating her.
