Episode 14 recap: Yun Huan risked his life for a hundred thousand gold.
Yun Huan asked his military adviser, Mingri, to obtain a hundred thousand gold for him. The adviser was in great difficulty because they not only had to support the soldiers of Mu Wang's Mansion but also needed money for the former members of Huai Wang's faction they had taken in. They were already struggling to make ends meet and couldn't come up with the money. Yun Huan learned that Inspector Liu from Mu Wang's Mansion had been frequently visiting a brothel, indicating that he was unable to resist temptation. Yun Huan decided to go and find him the next day to inquire about the whereabouts of the stored silver.
Qing Que, for the first time, promised to give Yun Huan a hundred thousand gold coins in exchange for a bowl of soup. The next day, when she came to deliver the soup again, she was stopped by Qing Cheng. Qing Cheng mocked Qing Que for being improper as a stepmother to serve soup to her son-in-law. In response, Qing Que taunted Qing Cheng for never having been fully loved by anyone. This angered Qing Cheng, who knocked the soup out of Qing Que's hand and revealed that Yun Huan was currently enjoying himself in the brothel. Qing Que refused to believe it but went to the brothel anyway. There, she witnessed Yun Huan flirting with one of the courtesans. Overcome with jealousy, she called out to Yun Huan. When she learned that Yun Huan was being followed by someone, she realized that she couldn't escape either. They staged a performance together, and Qing Que slapped Yun Huan hard, accusing him of flirting with her. Afterward, they left and waited at the door together.
Yun Huan found Inspector Liu, who was enjoying himself, and learned that the stored silver was in the possession of the former members of Huai Wang's faction. He immediately killed Inspector Liu and found a stack of silver notes on him. Upon leaving, he gave the hundred thousand gold to Qing Que. It was then that Qing Que realized Yun Huan had risked his life to find the silver notes for her. She was deeply moved and embraced him willingly. Yun Huan promised to be bound to her for life and made her the most honored lady. Hand in hand, they returned to Mu Wang's Mansion. Seeing this, Qing Cheng became extremely jealous, and Yun Huan straightforwardly proposed a divorce.
