Episode 12 recap: Su Jue plotted to frame the Pei family.
After the case was solved, Su Jue took Shan Shuang Shuang to the night market to relax. He wanted to take her to eat her favorite food, which made Shan Shuang Shuang very happy. She slowly developed feelings for Su Jue. Just as Su Jue was about to seize the opportunity to kiss Shan Shuang Shuang, she felt guilty and instinctively avoided him, which was awkward for Su Jue.
Pei Pei also took Shan Dan Dan out to play. The two of them were playful and joyful, and there were also times when they were affectionate, with Pei Pei unable to resist kissing Shan Dan Dan, who welcomed it. Since the Qi Pei Manor case had been solved, the lord of the city sent a plaque to their family as a commendation. Pei Pei decided to host a grand banquet to invite everyone. Shan Dan Dan thought the Su family also contributed, but Pei Pei was unsure if Su Jue would be willing to attend.
After returning home, Shan Shuang Shuang kept pondering the relationship between herself and Su Jue, feeling that if they continued, she would betray her deceased father. She decided to put an end to it. After analysis, she felt that there had been no clues for many years, and the current suspicion was more on the Qi Pei Manor.
Su Jue and Manager Wang were very resentful that the lord had sent a plaque to the Qi Pei Manor, so they wanted to find a way to suppress them. At this time, Shan Shuang Shuang came and informed them of the invitation from Shan Dan Dan's family. Su Jue was feeling upset and did not want to go, but did not stop Shan Shuang Shuang, as Shan Dan Dan was Shan Shuang Shuang's own sister.
After Shan Shuang Shuang left, Manager Wang found her slightly suspicious and wanted to design a way to test her. Pei Pei entertained Shan Shuang Shuang and mentioned that the craftsmanship of the thread-like carving originated from the Wind Management, which made Shan Shuang Shuang even more convinced that the Pei family was related to the Wind Management.
After the meal, Shan Shuang Shuang went to her father's grave again. She could never forget the scene of her father's murder, but her father had told her not to seek revenge, as it was their own fault. This made Shan Shuang Shuang very distressed, wishing her father could have provided some clues so they wouldn't be completely at a loss now.
Shan Shuang Shuang decided to leave the Su family and go investigate the Pei family.
Just as Shan Shuang Shuang was about to go and see Manager Wang and Su Jue, someone reported news about the whereabouts of the phoenix crown. The graveyard just wanted to test whether Shan Shuang Shuang had any need for it, and Su Jue secretly hoped that Shan Shuang Shuang had no ambitions regarding it.
After Shan Dan Dan became the second manager, she was quite proud of herself. Pei Pei wanted to tease her and find out why Shan Dan Dan was working so hard, which made Shan Dan Dan very angry. At this time, Su Jue rushed over, wanting to confess his feelings for Shan Shuang Shuang, and invited Shan Dan Dan out to formally propose marriage.
Su Jue wanted to learn more about Shan Shuang Shuang from Shan Dan Dan, but found that Shan Dan Dan didn't know much about her sister either. Su Jue wanted to know if Shan Shuang Shuang had learned martial arts and medicine, but Shan Dan Dan knew nothing about it.
Pei Pei was worried about Shan Dan Dan and Su Jue being alone together, so he went there as well. When Pei Pei arrived, Su Jue took the opportunity to leave.
At this time, A Liu rushed over and told Pei Pei that they had news about the phoenix crown, which came from the metalsmith Sun Wu. After Pei Pei and the others left, Su Jue appeared, revealing that this was a plot to trap Pei Pei, in order to investigate the previous theft at the Pei family.
After returning, Pei Pei wanted to verify the reliability of A Liu's information, but A Liu was not sure either, only that it was spread by Sun Wu's disciple. Shan Dan Dan was worried it might be a trap, but Pei Pei felt that if they could clear the old injustice, it would be worth investigating, even if it was a setup.
That night, Pei Pei brought people to the location of the wind duct, while Su Jue and Manager Wang had already laid an ambush nearby. But Shan Shuang Shuang said she needed to go purchase supplies and did not accompany them.
At this time, a masked person entered their ambush perimeter. Manager Wang immediately ordered people to shoot arrows, which worried Su Jue that the masked person might be Shan Shuang Shuang, so he hurriedly tried to stop them. He accidentally got shot in the arm, but was relieved to find that the masked person was not Shan Shuang Shuang. However, the arrow was poisoned, which alarmed Manager Wang, who had people carry Su Jue back for medical treatment, leaving some people to continue guarding the Pei family's people.
Just after they left, Shan Shuang Shuang, also masked, arrived. Su Jue's personal bodyguard spotted her, but was no match for her. Shan Shuang Shuang did not kill him, but warned him not to tell anyone, just wanting him to see the true face of the Su family.
The bodyguard felt Shan Shuang Shuang's words made sense, and told her that Su Jue not only wanted to lure Shan Shuang Shuang out, but also to capture the entire Pei family. He urged Shan Shuang Shuang to quickly go rescue her sister Shan Dan Dan.
