Episode 10 recap: Xie Yun designed a plan to assassinate the third young master of the Xiao family.
The Xiao family had been closely monitoring Xie Yun, and since Yin Ji had already offended the Xiao family for Xie Yun's sake, the Xiao family would now take revenge on Xie Yun. Yin Ji took Xie Yun to fulfill the promise he had made. They went to a clothing store, where Yin Ji had already prepared a pearl garment for Xie Yun overnight. Yin Ji said he had never forgotten his promise to Xie Yun. Xie Yun had clenched his fist behind his back, but when he turned around, he smiled and expressed happiness.
After changing clothes, Xie Yun did not come out for a long time. When Yin Ji went to check, he found only the unchanged clothes on the floor, and Xie Yun had disappeared. It turned out that the brother of Xiao Baobao had taken Xie Yun away and threatened him not to interfere with his sister and Yin Ji's relationship.
Xie Yun then saw Yin Ji coming, and Xie Yun directly grabbed the third young master of the Xiao family's hand and stabbed himself with a dagger. Yin Ji was extremely agitated when he saw this. Yin Ji took Xie Yun back and cared for him, but Xie Yun's fever did not subside. Xiao Baobao knelt at the door, begging Yin Ji to spare her brother, but Yin Ji was very angry and wanted to take the position of the Xiao family's mistress.
This time, Xiao Baobao stood up for herself, saying that without the Xiao family, she was nothing. Yin Ji said that the debts owed to the Xiao family over the years had already been repaid, but he was fully aware of their actions in recent years, which caused Xiao Baobao to completely collapse.
The next day, the Xiao patriarch came to find Yin Ji. The Xiao patriarch said he had come to apologize, and he also mentioned the incident from years ago when Yin Ji came to the Xiao family, saying that it was the Xiao family who had been able to protect Yin Ji's safety, and without the Xiao family, Yin Ji might have gained nothing.
At this point, Xie Yun came over and also spoke up for Yin Ji. Xie Yun said that the Xiao patriarch was being overbearing, and the Xiao patriarch said that if she had been in the Xiao family, she would have been beaten to death long ago. Xie Yun still pointed out the key issue - who is the lord and who is the subject here, and Baiyu City would not wrongly convict a bad person, the old master of the third young master of the Xiao family must have some certainty.
The Xiao patriarch left empty-handed. Xie Yun's wound had not yet healed, and she almost couldn't stand steady after the Xiao patriarch left. Xie Yun still asked Yin Ji why the Xiao patriarch said she was the daughter of a traitor. After the Xiao patriarch returned, he remembered that three years ago, Xie Yun's father had wanted to see him in the prison, and the only purpose was to protect his daughter, to prevent the Xiao patriarch from harming her.
But now, the Xiao patriarch naturally would not let Yin Ji off. The next morning, the Xiao patriarch came to find Yin Ji again, saying that Xie Yun was an evil woman, and then he presented a petition signed by the common people demanding Xie Yun's execution. Yin Ji knew that most of the signers were the Xiao family's laborers, and the Xiao patriarch said that if it weren't for him, the common people would not even have food to eat.
The Xiao patriarch wanted to use this to threaten Yin Ji into releasing the person. After the Xiao patriarch left, Yin Ji had the steward hand the list over to Qi Yan, as he wanted to find out how many more things were happening behind the scenes. Three days later, Qi Yan delivered the investigation results to Yin Ji, and it could be said that the Xiao family had sacrificed many innocent common people for their current power.
In fact, Qi Yan was still very worried about Xie Yun, but since Xie Yun had lost her memory, he didn't want to go disturb her.
