Episode 16 recap: The Cook Who Died in the Blood Pool.
Ding Zhaozhao came to find Wen Sixing with a child, trying to save the girl. After Wen Sixing examined the pulse, he knew that the child had a weak pulse. After a long time, the child woke up and wanted to find her father and mother. Ding Zhaozhao looked at the child with pity and felt sorry for her. Wen Sixing looked at the child and thought of his own childhood.
The masked person following behind Ding Zhaozhao quietly emerged when she left. Ding Zhaozhao looked at the footprints and suspected that Qi Ming was the murderer. She asked Chu Banfan to leave first and stayed behind for the official to come back. When Qi Ming was about to kill Yue'er, he suddenly realized that Wen Sixing recognized her as the little pomegranate from childhood. After Wen Sixing and Qi Ming recognized each other, Wen Sixing killed the child and told Ding Zhaozhao that his medical skills were not proficient enough to save her.
Zhou Bingran also came to burn paper for the orphans and accidentally discovered that Zhaozhao had also passed by there. When Wen Sixing sang a nursery rhyme, Zhou Bingran suddenly found the song familiar and felt uneasy upon returning to Liushanmen. Ding Zhaozhao told her senior brother that the adults didn't allow her to investigate the case, but fortunately, she had friends who helped. She overheard her senior brother asking about the name of the friend, but Ding Zhaozhao didn't reveal it.
Ding Zhaozhao brought Zhou Bingran to find Wen Sixing, and Zhou Bingran subtly asked about their long-standing acquaintance, deepening her suspicions.
