Episode 15 recap: The young sparrow resents Yunhuan for desecrating ancestral tombs.
Qingcheng saw Yunhuan and Qingque returning hand in hand, feeling jealous. She stepped forward and slapped Qingque. Yunhuan protected Qingque and revealed that their marriage was forced by the pressure from the Mu family and Qingcheng. Their relationship had always been in name only, so Yunhuan proposed a divorce to Qingcheng. Qingque gave the hundred thousand gold Yunhuan had given her to Yan Xuncang. Yan Xuncang, knowing that Qingque already had the jade pendant, asked her to leave with him. However, Qingque knew that Yunhuan was still searching for a large sum of silver, and she wanted to stay and claim it as her own.
Yan Xuncang told Qingque that Yunhuan had even dug up her ancestors' tombs for money. Qingque couldn't believe it, but Yan Xuncang took her to sneak into the Huai Palace. They happened to witness Yunhuan punishing an incompetent servant and ordering the coffin to be opened in search of something. Qingque couldn't accept it and stood there in shock. Yan Xuncang urged Qingque to leave quickly while he diverted Yunhuan's attention in another direction but Yunhuan caught him.
Qingcheng had been keeping an eye on Qingque and prevented her from escaping. Qingque could only be brought back by Qingcheng to face Yunhuan. Qingcheng accused her of having an affair with Yan Xuncang. Upon learning all of this, Yunhuan threw both Qingque and Yan Xuncang into the dungeon. Qingque pleaded with Yunhuan to release Yan Xuncang and no matter what efforts Yunhuan made to win her heart back, she was convinced that Yunhuan was a demon desecrating ancestral tombs.
Yunhuan reminded Qingque that she was only seeing the tip of the iceberg and asked her to trust him unconditionally. However, Qingque, thinking of the past hurts, refused to listen to Yunhuan's explanations.
