Episode 10 recap: Xiao Yao's origins have been subjected to malicious rumors.

Tu Shan Jing led a group of relatives and friends to add vibrant color to the grand opening celebration of Hao Ling Jiu Yao's medical clinic. He not only arranged for Doctor Yin to come and provide consultations to assist with the clinic's daily operations, but also specially gifted a "Hall of Rejuvenation" plaque, symbolizing the clinic's ability to work wonders and benefit the local community.

Hao Ling Jiu Yao was delighted and deeply appreciative of this gift. Jing Ye silently observed everything from the side, seeing Clan Leader Tu Shan Jing finally realize his long-held wish and help Hao Ling Jiu Yao achieve her dream, filling him with genuine joy. At this moment, Doctor Yin standing beside Jing Ye mustered the courage to express his feelings to Jing Ye amidst the joyous atmosphere.

The two exchanged smiles, hand in hand, immersed in their happiness, becoming another heartwarming scene at the celebration. Seeing this, Hao Ling Jiu Yao's heart was also filled with warmth. She turned to Tu Shan Jing and said with a smile, "When they get married, we must give them a grand wedding gift." Hearing this, Tu Shan Jing smiled and nodded, his eyes brimming with affection and care for Hao Ling Jiu Yao.

However, amid this joyous and peaceful atmosphere, Tu Shan Jing suddenly sensed a strange gaze. He vigilantly looked around but found no suspicious individuals. In a hidden spot nearby, Chen Rong Xin Yue was hurriedly hiding with a maid, her heart filled with complex emotions.

She recalled the scene she had just witnessed - Hao Ling Jiu Yao and Tu Shan Jing's happiness - and couldn't help but feel jealousy and bitterness. But she understood that these feelings had to be buried deep within her, never to be spoken. Lately, rumors about Hao Ling Jiu Yao have been flooding in, and Tu Shan Jing is deeply concerned, suspecting that the sinister hands behind this are the Chen and Chi families.

To uncover the truth and protect Hao Ling Jiu Yao, Tu Shan Jing decided to personally visit the Clan Leader of Xi Ling and the Gui Family in Ancient Shu and Northern Liu City. Before leaving, he carefully instructed Jing Ye that if Hao Ling Jiu Yao asked, he should make up an excuse about clan business and promise to return quickly.

Upon his return, Tu Shan Jing immediately rushed to Hao Ling Jiu Yao's side. The two, reunited after a long separation, poured out their hearts, their deep longing for each other evident.

Regarding the future, Tu Shan Jing informed Hao Ling Jiu Yao that he would soon be returning to Qing Qiu to perform sacrifices, and promised he would come back as soon as possible. At the same time, he also revealed that the matter of Fang Feng Yi Ying would soon be settled, and after the elders announced his demise next year, they could then discuss the marriage plans.

However, when it came to the recent rumors circulating about Hao Ling Jiu Yao's origins, she couldn't help but feel downcast. Seeing this, Tu Shan Jing gently comforted her, and the two embraced each other, facing the storms from the outside world together. Due to the rumors, another wave of turbulence arose in the court, with some ministers even submitting memorials requesting that Xi Yan Qiang Xuan send Hao Ling Jiu Yao away.

Upon hearing this, Xi Yan Qiang Xuan flew into a rage and sternly warned the ministers, reminding them that rumors should stop with the wise, prompting everyone to fall silent. After learning of this, Hao Ling Wang bestowed a great many precious treasures upon Hao Ling Jiu Yao, as a show of comfort and affection, which warmed her heart greatly. She and Tu Shan Jing made a pact to visit Hao Ling together when spring arrives next year, to rekindle their bond.

On New Year's Eve, Xi Yan Qiang Xuan went to Xiao Yue Peak alone, which displeased Chen Rong Xin Yue and further fueled her jealousy towards Hao Ling Jiu Yao. Within the palace, Hao Ling Jiu Yao shared the New Year's Eve feast with her grandfather and Xi Yan Qiang Xuan, the atmosphere warm and joyful.

After a few rounds of wine, Hao Ling Jiu Yao felt slightly tipsy and asked her grandfather about the mystery of her origins. Her grandfather responded with deep affection, saying that regardless of her background, she was the daughter of the Great General of the West Yan Kingdom, and his beloved granddaughter, a bond that would never change. Late at night, Hao Ling Jiu Yao accompanied Xi Yan Qiang Xuan and Tu Shan Jing outside to enjoy roasted meat, but unexpectedly overheard the Resentful General and others discussing the matter of Chicheng and her mother, with some even claiming that the Princess had confessed her love for Chicheng for many years.

Upon hearing this, Hao Ling Jiu Yao was heartbroken and left alone. Seeing this, Tu Shan Jing questioned Xi Yan Qiang Xuan about the truth behind the rumors, hoping he would provide an explanation, even though he already had an idea of the answer. Xi Yan Qiang Xuan remained silent for a moment, only saying that everything he had done was for Hao Ling Jiu Yao, then turned and left, leaving behind an endless array of mysteries and deep contemplation.

Hao Ling Jiu Yao was unable to find the one-armed elder, and discovered that he had passed away, overwhelming her with sorrow and tears. At this moment, Xiang Liu quietly appeared, and Jiu Yao angrily questioned his intentions, wondering if he had come to witness a spectacle. Xiang Liu calmly replied that he had only come to pay respects to an old friend, and that there was no spectacle for him to witness. Discussing the matter of Chicheng, Xiang Liu advised Jiu Yao to trust her mother's judgment and not be troubled by the external rumors, which helped calm her emotions.
