Shan Shuang Shuang helped Pei Pei handle the funeral arrangements for Pei Qinshi. Mrs. Li hypocritically went to burn incense, claiming she had served Pei Qinshi for many years and could not accept her passing, and wanted to return home to fast and pray for her. Pei Pei agreed, but Shan Shuang Shuang sensed something was off, so she helped Mrs. Li pack her belongings.
After packing, Shan Shuang Shuang secretly placed the poison that killed Pei Qinshi in Mrs. Li's luggage and knocked her unconscious. Then she told Pei Pei and Shan Dan Dan, who quickly went to check and called for a doctor.
When the doctor arrived, Shan Shuang Shuang produced the poison from the luggage, suspecting Mrs. Li had poisoned Pei Qinshi. Fearing for her life, Mrs. Li confessed. She had intended to poison Shan Shuang Shuang and Pei Pei, but Pei Qinshi had unknowingly drank the poisoned soup. Shan Dan Dan was so enraged that she wanted to report Mrs. Li, but Mrs. Li committed suicide to avoid implicating Shopkeeper Wang.
Shopkeeper Wang was devastated and swore to make the Pei family pay. Pei Pei recalled her childhood memories with her mother, becoming even more sorrowful. Shan Shuang Shuang could only accompany her in tears, not knowing how to console her.
Shopkeeper Wang was burning paper for Mrs. Li, which was discovered by Su Jue. Su Jue learned that Shopkeeper Wang had killed someone to win, and became very angry, resulting in him being slapped by Shopkeeper Wang.
The shopkeeper Wang took Su Jue to a secret room, where they found Pei Pei's father Pei Chufeng imprisoned.
It turned out that the Su family had always been suppressed by the Pei family. The city lord had entrusted the design of the Phoenix Crown to the Pei family, and the Su family had then framed Pei Chufeng. Pei Chufeng was robbed on his way to the city lord's palace with the Phoenix Crown. Shan Jingtan was tricked by the shopkeeper Wang into trying to steal the Crown, but was then pursued by Wang.
Guard Zhao, in order to protect the Crown, entrusted Shan Dandan to Shan Jingtan and was killed in battle.
Although the Su family managed to obtain half of the Phoenix Crown, they could not learn all the skills required to make it. Pei Pei had natural talent, so the Su family broke his hands to threaten Pei Chufeng. Pei Chufeng was also secretly imprisoned by Wang.
Now, Wang wants to use Pei Chufeng to destroy the Pei family.
Pei Pei has emerged from his sorrow and is working at the shop. To regain the people's goodwill, Shan Dandan decides to give small gifts to customers. When Shan Shuangshuang was tidying Shan Dandan's bed, she found the golden pearls given by Pei Pei, whose craftsmanship was the same as the technique used on the Phoenix Crown.
She is convinced that the Pei family is the mastermind behind Shan Jingtan's death, so she confronts Pei Pei. But Pei Pei insists that he learned the skill through close observation, and Shan Shuangshuang does not believe him. Just then, the soldiers arrive to seal off the Pei family, saying they have obtained a letter from Pei Chufeng accusing them of stealing the Phoenix Crown.
It turns out that this was all a plot by Wang and Su Jue.
