Episode 9 recap: The three sect leaders left Ping'an Town.
The three sect leaders left Ping'an Town.Three days later, Lu Shang Long Wang's highly anticipated 50th birthday finally arrived. Everyone gathered at the birthday banquet to celebrate with him, except for Guo Da Lu, who had his own ulterior motives. When no one was paying attention, Guo Da Lu discreetly lit the incense given to him by Gui Gong Zi.
Lu Shang Long Wang was extremely happy and, following everyone's suggestion, stood up to give a speech. However, in the midst of his speech, Wang Dong suddenly interjected, revealing that his three children were puppets. Realizing that something was amiss, Lu Shang Long Wang had no choice but to ask all the guests to leave, claiming that he needed to attend to some family matters. Wang Dong persisted in his opinion, disregarding Wang Fu Lei's objections. At this point, Wang Dong brought up Hong Niang Zi, but Wang Fu Lei remained firm in his disagreement. Lu Shang Long Wang tried to support Wang Dong's argument but was rebuked. Lin Tai Ping also spoke up, announcing that she wanted to call off the engagement. Lu Shang Long Wang was frustrated by their stubbornness and tried to mediate, but Lin Tai Ping stood her ground and openly declared that she would rather die than marry him. Yu Ling Long left in distress, and the conversation continued. The three heirs felt that the sect leaders never gave them the opportunity to gain experience and decided to leave together. Yan Qi also got involved, and Nan Gong Chou bluntly stated that the children lacked the ability to discern right from wrong, and the adults were acting in their best interest. However, the children refused to listen, and as they turned to leave, one of them suddenly collapsed.
When the sect leaders realized they had been poisoned, they began to feel unwell. Only Guo Da Lu, who had taken the antidote beforehand, remained unaffected. Guo Da Lu stepped forward and admitted that the three young masters had indeed misjudged people, unable to see through even those closest to them. He then exposed the incident involving the three elders and the money from the Central Plains Escort Agency. The three elders admitted that the money was a bribe from the Eagle Falcon Gang to Lao Sun. Guo Da Lu insisted that the elders were covering up their own guilt, but he knew that the three young masters were innocent. After apologizing to Yan Qi, he left to bring the "officials" in to arrest the three elders. To Guo Da Lu's surprise, when the "officials" arrived, they had no intention of sparing even the young masters. As the situation escalated, the members of the Eagle Falcon Gang no longer pretended and Guo Da Lu finally realized that he had been deceived. The three elders earnestly explained to Guo Da Lu that he had been manipulated by the Eagle Falcon Gang. Guo Da Lu admitted that he had unknowingly brought danger upon them and offered to die as penance. After saying this, Guo Da Lu confronted the members of the Eagle Falcon Gang, but he was outnumbered and at a disadvantage. In the direst moment, the three elders stood up, and everyone realized that they had not been poisoned. Without hesitation, they swiftly dealt with the members of the Eagle Falcon Gang, although Wang Dong accidentally got injured in the process.
Gui Gong Zi thought that he could create an opportunity for the Bai Lao Hui members, so he informed his father to come and watch the show early on. Now that Ying Sun Bang Bang Zhu has also arrived in Ping'an Town, but after entering Fu Gui Villa, what he saw was Gui Gong Zi being tied up, while Lu Shang Long Wang was enjoying his longevity noodles. The gang leader was frustrated and disappointed as he didn't even have the capital to confront the Bai Lao Hui. He had to claim that he came to stop Gui Gong Zi, and the three sect leaders didn't expose his lie. They straightforwardly warned their three heirs to be careful when dealing with someone like Lu Shang Long Wang in the future. If anything happened, they should seek revenge from the Eagle Falcon Gang. After some back and forth, both sides stopped the confrontation, and the members of the Eagle Falcon Gang helped their captive escape. Yan Qi couldn't help but admire the three elders' foresight, and Nan Gong Chou slowly spoke up, admitting that it was his own foresight. It turned out that due to his distrust of Guo Da Lu, Nan Gong Chou had called Mai Xiao Ya early on to inquire about Guo Da Lu's background and had been observing him all along. This prevented a major disaster, and the outcome was still positive.
On Hong Niang Zi's side, when the agreed-upon time came, she had already said that she would leave regardless of whether Wang Dong came or not. However, she had the prepared carriage returned! The next morning, the three sect leaders decided to leave Ping'an Town for a while and give the three children an opportunity to exercise. But when they bid farewell, Wang Dong was still unconscious, so Wang Fu Lei left a letter and departed. When Wang Dong woke up and saw the letter, he learned that Wang Fu Lei had accepted Hong Niang Zi's proposal. Wang Dong immediately went to tell Hong Niang Zi the good news, and they were both very happy! With their father absent, the three children naturally became a bit lazy, but Wang Dong brought up a practical issue. Their father had taken all the money from the villa, so they had no choice but to fend for themselves. When asked what he would do, Wang Dong straightforwardly said that he wanted to imbue the villa with a new spiritual meaning by changing its name to "Fu Gui Shan Zhuang" (Wealthy Cabinet Villa).
