Episode 16 recap: Xie Jingshu skillfully grasped his opponent.

Xie Jingshu, dressed as a bride alongside her male companion, the cross-dressing Xi Niang, and the groom Li Mengjue, couldn't help but burst into laughter, arousing suspicion among the onlookers. In a hurry, Jingyan quickly diverted the fortune-teller's attention by pointing out that her clothes were dirty. Li Mengjue, standing by, secretly concealed himself, hoping to catch the culprit. In the early morning, suddenly, there was a magical female voice echoing through the air. While everyone was out of the room, Luxi'er searched for something and was discovered by Liu Yu'an.

The fortune-teller led Xie Jingshu to a very eerie place, filled with white smoke and creepy laughter. Xie Jingshu was mesmerized. While Luxi'er was negotiating with the Northern Barbarians, Liu Yu'an followed her and was caught. Luxi'er instructed Liu Yu'an to feign death to avoid suspicion. Suddenly, the group noticed a man approaching and immediately knocked him down, questioning his relationship with Xue Shangyizhao. It was evident that this person had been exploited, impersonating Xue Shangyizhao's reputation and engaging in the trafficking of women for business purposes.

Suddenly, Xie Jingshu and the others heard the laughter of a woman outside, but they only heard the sound and didn't see anyone. Jingyan noticed that Luxi'er had arrived. Xie Jingshu discovered that there were hidden chambers around, and Luxi'er's expression seemed somewhat strange and evasive.
