Episode 15 recap: Hua Zhi's shop attracted a constant stream of customers.
Upon learning that Shen Huan intended to bully Sister Hua, Shao Yao became angry and used acupuncture to help him escape. Hua Zhi rented three shops and decided to open her own business. She continued to share the joy of horse riding with Gu Yan Xi. Meanwhile, Bao Xia and Nian Qiu learned calligraphy, and Fu Dong studied new pastries.
Gu Yan Xi temporarily suspended his investigation of secret letters, not wanting to add to Hua Zhi's difficulties. The opening of Hua Zhi's shop attracted many onlookers, and business thrived. Xia Jin E offered her support, and Hua Zhi asked Nian Qiu to learn abacus from her.
Zheng Zhi, talented but with no place to showcase his abilities, collapsed from hunger near Hua Zhi's shop. Hua Zhi provided him with food, and Shao Yao used acupuncture on him. Zheng Zhi initially refused Hua Zhi's invitation but changed his mind after learning her last name was Hua. Shao Yao played a trick on Shen Huan by putting medicine in his snacks and setting the horses free. Hua Zhi learned horseback riding and galloped through the woods with Gu Yan Xi before resting by the river.
Gu Yan Xi revealed some information about his mother, satisfying Hua Zhi's curiosity. He coincidentally encountered Uncle Zhong at the training field and inquired about the situation of Hua Yi Zheng's servants, but Uncle Zhong remained cautious and didn't say anything. Hua Zhi, upon learning of this, expressed that she understood Gu Yan Xi very well.
During class, Zheng Zhi shared his own educational experiences, inspiring the students to strive for success. Berlin and Bao Li's positive changes brought joy to Madam Er, but they couldn't help but use force when ridiculed and blocked by their classmates in the shop.
Hua Zhi was busy with her business, and Madam Er suggested that she hire a shopkeeper and an accountant to help, but Hua Zhi neither agreed nor disagreed.
Hua Ling harbored resentment towards Hua Zhi due to being ridiculed. Nian Qiu made a mistake in bookkeeping, leading to Xia Jin E's anger. Helpless in the face of her injured sister-in-law and Nian Qiu, Hua Zhi reluctantly left. Xia Jin E remembered the servant Xia Ming from her family and decided to seek his help.
Feeling lost at the training field, Hua Zhi was joined by the returning Gu Yan Xi. They admired the starry sky together, with Hua Zhi leaning on Gu Yan Xi's shoulder, savoring this tranquil moment. Although Gu Yan Xi couldn't give Hua Zhi more, he wanted to provide her warmth in that moment.
