Episode 8 recap: Song Shi Jie Ling Long took the wrong medicine.
Just after Ling Long saw off the guests, Song A Jiu eagerly invited Nanshao over and wiped the chair for him to sit. Nanshao told Ling Long about Guo Cailian, the person who sells lotus root in the market, and how he noticed the hardships she faced while selling vegetables. As a result, he massaged her buttocks, only to receive a violent beating in return.
Ling Long told the young man that her husband has been busy lately and it would be better if he could pay a higher deposit. Ling Long also told Nanshao that what he did was outrageous and would require double the price. Nanshao became angry and left. Song Shi Jie had a difficult morning dealing with trivial matters. When she heard that Ling Long had driven away a customer, she got angry because she missed out on a big deal.
Song Shi Jie doesn't want to have children with Ling Long. Xiao Feng pretended to be very feminine while buying vegetables, and the vegetable seller thought she was sick. Song A Jiu couldn't help but laugh. At this moment, Ying Tao used the same trick as Xiao Feng to buy vegetables, and not only did the vegetable seller sell the cherries to her, but also gave her extra vegetables.
Xiao Feng watched from the side and thought the other person was cunning. Ling Long hesitated in front of Nian Shan Shan's place before finally mustering the courage to go and find her. Nian Shan Shan felt a little embarrassed when she saw Ling Long and asked the people around her to leave.
After hearing that Ling Long wanted medicine for the bridal chamber and to invigorate herself, Nian Shan Shan took the initiative to examine her pulse. When she heard that Ling Long had studied martial arts, she became very happy. Nian Shan Shan prescribed two sets of medicine for Ling Long to take home and cook. She warned Ling Long to be careful with the prescriptions, or else there could be serious mistakes.
Ling Long kept reminding herself not to mix up the medicine while cooking, and warned Xiao Feng and Song A Jiu not to make any mistakes. Xiao Feng and Song A Jiu felt a little guilty as they handed the medicine to Ling Long. Song Shi Jie happened to come back and drank a bowl of the medicine. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong, as a wave of heat surged upward from her lower body to her chest.
Ling Long also sensed that something was wrong and knew that those two had made a mistake. After drinking the bowl of medicine, Song Shi Jie's voice became soft and high-pitched, like a woman's voice. Ling Long told Song Shi Jie that she got the medicine from Nian Shan Shan.
Nian Shan Shan examined their pulses and told them that the medicine couldn't be resolved but could be flushed out through diarrhea. Song A Jiu was curious about the identity of the girl who bought vegetables that day and asked the vegetable seller, who revealed that her name was Ying Tao (Cherry).
Cherry, because she is pretty and has a warm voice, attracted the attention of men but earned the disgust of their wives. Ling Long was practicing martial arts outside when Song Shi Jie suddenly found her attractive and wanted her to teach him martial arts. Ling Long thought Song Shi Jie was really foolish and too delicate. When Cherry flirted with Grandpa, she was caught by the mistress.
Cherry, feeling wronged, hid in her room and cried. Song Shi Jie noticed Song A Jiu's indifference and felt something was off. He asked Xiao Feng and Song A Jiu to leave and decided to cook by himself. Little did they know, a house in the distance was on fire.
When Ling Long saw the poorly cooked dishes on the table, presumably made by Song Shi Jie, she pretended they were delicious, despite their unappetizing appearance. The chaotic sounds outside saved Ling Long and the others. Ling Long suggested that Song Shi Jie quickly go out and take on a case, as they might earn a lot of money. Upon hearing the possibility of making money, Song Shi Jie hurriedly ran out.
Yang Liu's house was on fire, but he was rescued while still alive. The others urged them to report the incident promptly. Song Shi Jie found the scent of burning in the air to be peculiar. He Shou Xin arrived at the crime scene and didn't know where to start. When he heard his subordinates mention a clue nearby, he quickly came over and discovered the smell of sulfur and gunpowder, finding it suspicious.
He Shou Xin was curious as to why there were only four bodies when there were supposedly five people in the house. Kuo Shao Hu's brothers provided clues, informing He Shou Xin that Cherry had fled with a large bundle and seemed to be heading north. He Shou Xin suspected Cherry as the suspect and sent people to capture her.
Unaware of the situation, Cherry was brought to the yamen. In the courtroom, Cherry remained silent. He Shou Xin asked if Cherry had purchased a large amount of fireworks recently, but she still didn't speak, showing a disdainful expression. Just as He Shou Xin was about to conclude the case with Xu Xin, Cherry suddenly asked Song Shi Jie to be her strong teacher.
Nian Shan Shan told He Shou Xin that even if Yang Liu was revived, he might suffer from amnesia and not remember what happened before. He Shou Xin suddenly felt that this case would be more difficult. The most crucial eyewitness had lost their memory, so where could they find clues? Xiao Feng, Ling Long, and Song A Jiu continued to observe Song Shi Jie.
Song Shi Jie went to the prison to see Cherry, who had a fierce expression on her face.
