Episode 28 recap: Shao Jia Bi took the blame for Qiu Zhi Bin.
Qiu Zhi Bin accidentally killed Qiu Shou Yi directly. Shao Jia Bi heard the commotion and went into the study, saw Qiu Shou Yi's body, was shocked, and Qiu Zhi Bin came to his senses and hurriedly left the scene with Shao Jia Bi.Gao Jun told Qiu Zhi Tong all his guesses, Qiu Zhi Tong confirmed that he was unwilling to believe that Qiu Shou Yi had killed Gao Cheng, saying they had no dealings, so why would Qiu Shou Yi hit Gao Cheng? Gao Jun was about to tell Qiu Zhi Tong about Qiu Zhi Bin's origins, when Qiu Hao Er called Qiu Zhi Tong and said that Qiu Shou Yi had passed away.
Shao Jia Bi asked Qiu Zhi Bin what happened, but Qiu Zhi Bin said that Qiu Shou Yi found out about his origins, and they got into an argument, and he accidentally knocked over the table corner. Shao Jia Bi felt that since it was an accident, they should call the police, but Qiu Zhi Bin strongly opposed it. At that time, Qiu Zhi Tong called and asked Qiu Zhi Bin where he was, saying that Qiu Shou Yi was not doing well.
Qiu Hao Er was being questioned by the police, as she was the first to discover Qiu Shou Yi's body, and Dai Qi Ting saw her and thought she had killed Qiu Shou Yi. After the police investigation, they concluded that Qiu Shou Yi's death was due to the injury from hitting the table corner, and there were signs of a struggle at the scene, so they did not rule out the possibility that Qiu Shou Yi's death was not an accident. According to the investigation, Qiu Zhi Tong, Qiu Shou Ren, and Zhu Li Qi were excluded as suspects, and the surveillance footage showed that Qiu Hao Er and Dai Qi Ting came home around 10 pm, while Qiu Zhi Bin and Shao Jia Bi left the Qiu family's residence around 9 pm. Qiu Zhi Bin said that that night, Shao Jia Bi said he was not feeling well, and Qiu Shou Yi offered to take Shao Jia Bi to the hospital, and during the trip, they received a call about Qiu Shou Yi's incident.
At this point, the police received a call from Gao Jun, who had summoned Qiu Zhi Tong and him, and revealed the truth about Qiu Zhi Bin and Qiu Zhi Lan's origins. Gao Jun suspected that Qiu Zhi Bin killed Qiu Shou Yi and Qiu Zhi Lan to keep the secret, and based on the timeline, the police were more inclined to agree with Gao Jun's view, but they did not have direct evidence to prove that Qiu Zhi Bin was the killer. At this time, Qiu Zhi Tong received a call from his teacher, who said something that might be Qiu Zhi Bin's motive for murder.
The police took Qiu Zhi Bin in for investigation, saying they had found Qiu Shou Yi's new will, but Qiu Zhi Bin firmly denied ever seeing the new will. While the police were interrogating Qiu Zhi Bin, Shao Jia Bi came forward and confessed that she had accidentally killed Qiu Shou Yi in an attempt to protect Qiu Zhi Bin, and had dragged Qiu Zhi Bin away in a panic at the time.
Qiu Zhi Bin then went along with Shao Jia Bi's account. Without other evidence, the police had no choice but to let Qiu Zhi Bin go for now. When Dai Qi Ting learned that Shao Jia Bi had turned herself in, she angrily accused Shao Jia Bi in front of Qiu Zhi Tong. Qiu Zhi Tong tried to calm her down, saying her health was the priority. But Dai Qi Ting said Shao Jia Bi was just pretending to be kind, and that neither she nor her daughter were good people. At this point, Qiu Hao Er came and told Dai Qi Ting that Qiu Zhi Tong was actually her biological daughter, revealing the truth from years ago. Dai Qi Ting was shocked.
That night, Dai Qi Ting silently cried over a photo of Qiu Shou Yi. Qiu Zhi Tong brought her some congee and urged her to eat, so she could have the strength to handle Qiu Shou Yi's funeral arrangements. Dai Qi Ting felt helpless, as Qiu Shou Yi used to take care of everything for her, and she didn't know how to go on without him. Qiu Zhi Tong comforted her, saying she would stay by her side. Dai Qi Ting felt guilty about how she had treated Qiu Zhi Tong in the past, but Qiu Zhi Tong said not to dwell on that, and that the most important thing now was facing the future together.
Qiu Hao Er prepared some sandwiches for Qiu Zhi Tong and asked if she was doing okay. Qiu Zhi Tong thanked her for revealing her true parentage, but said she couldn't accept that her father's death was connected to Shao Jia Bi. Qiu Hao Er pointed out that as soon as Qiu Zhi Bin was taken away by the police, Shao Jia Bi confessed, which she found suspicious.
Qiu Zhi Tong then went to talk to Gao Jun and the police. They also believed Shao Jia Bi's confession was likely an attempt to take the blame for Qiu Zhi Bin, but they didn't have any evidence to prove it.
