Moxi accidentally sprained her ankle, and she took the opportunity to take Wan Jiagui's hand back home. As they got along day by day, Wan Jiagui slowly appreciated the optimistic and cheerful Moxi, and did not hate Moxi's skin-to-skin contact. After the two returned home, Moxi made meals with the meat she bought, because Wan Jiagui, who had avoided being hunted and hadn't eaten meat for a long time, liked the meal very much. From Moxi's experience with Wang Er, it might be difficult for Wan Jiagui to get out of Jingzhou City. Normally, it might only cost 20% of the gold to ask Wang Er to get out of the city, but now he asks for fifty taels, maybe his intentions are unclear.
Bai Pengkun complained that his mother didn't deal with Moxi, because there was a wild man hiding in Moxi's yard. But Mrs. Bai persuaded her son not to act recklessly because she was worried about ghosts in the courtyard. Mrs. Bai also told her son that her husband, Bai Wentai, had already discussed with Chen Wende to send Moxi to be a concubine. Feng Yao came to visit her brother and heard about it by accident, so she hurriedly ran to tell Moxi.
Since Wang Er had connections with the rebels, he only waited for people who wanted to abscond out of the city to find him, so he set a sky-high price. Ordinary sellers of stolen goods would be discouraged, and only real spies would take money out of the city. The gangsters Moxi knew were also controlled by the rebels, so she didn't know how to send Wan Jiagui out of the city for a while. At this time Feng Yao came in a hurry and told Moxi that she was going to be sent to be Chen Wende's concubine.
Feng Yao took Moxi to her small courtyard, helped her pack her luggage, and wanted her to escape for days, but Moxi said that Jingzhou City is currently in the hands of the rebels, and if she falls into the hands of Chen Wende, she will not let her go. Chen Wende feels good. Moxi returned the luggage to Fengyao, so that Fengyao could save some money in the future, and if she had the opportunity, she would repay Fengyao's kindness over the years.
Wan Jiagui thinks that Chen Wende is powerful now, and Moxi should not confront him head-on. He persuades Moxi to leave with him, and Moxi is naturally very willing. Before Moxi was about to leave, she asked her second uncle to return the things that coveted her. She found Bai Wentai and his wife and said that she had learned that they were going to give her to Chen Wende as a concubine. Mrs. Bai persuaded Moxi to agree to the marriage, and said that She is willing to add Moxi to the Bai family tree, but Moxi proposes three conditions.
Bai Wentai moved the gold and silver treasures and silk satin requested by Moxi to the courtyard as a dowry for her. When Feng Yao saw that Moxi was really going to marry Chen Wende, she was very distressed and reluctant to give up Moxi. The conditions that Moxi proposed to Bai Wentai were to let her mother enter the Bai family temple, write her name in the Bai family tree, and ask for a generous dowry. Moxi thought of a way to get out of the city, that is to meet Chen Wende before passing through the gate, but Wan Jiagui thought it was too dangerous.
Bai Wentai brought Moxi to meet Chen Wende. Although Moxi was not afraid of Chen Wende who was rumored as a traitor, he did not want to be the wife of a traitor, but Chen Wende said that meeting Moxi today was not about discussing taking a concubine, but that he wanted Moxi to give her a concubine. Be your own maid. Moxi did not refuse, and also wanted to ask Chen Wende to help her. She wanted her mother to move her grave to be buried with her father. Moxi said that in order to move the grave, she had to go out of the city, so she took the opportunity to ask Chen Wende for a token of going out of the city. Chen Wende gave the token to Moxi, and in order to ask for something in return, he took Moxi to the place where the prisoners were being interrogated, so that Moxi could see with his own eyes the fate of those who betrayed him. The reason why Chen Wende threatened Moxi was to hope that Moxi would not betray him in the future and let himself fall into the same fate.
Fengyao came to Moxi's small courtyard, and she silently prayed that Moxi could survive this disaster safely. Fengyao took out the jade token that the Bai family had had since birth and gave it to Moxi, hoping that the ancestors of the Bai family would be able to survive. Bless Moxi. Wan Jiagui, who hid in the dark and heard Fengyao's wish, also prayed in his heart that Moxi would escape the disaster.
Chen Wende saw that Moxi had other ideas, and arranged for his subordinates to follow Moxi, wanting to know what Moxi wanted to do. Bai Wentai and his wife learned that Chen Wende ordered Moxi's mother and father to be buried together, but the couple looked down on Moxi's mother's status as a brothel woman, thinking that the joint burial would embarrass the Bai family.
Moxi made Bai Wentai and his wife very angry because they let their parents be buried together, so they were a little ashamed of Fengyao, and also a little unwilling to see Fengyao. Moxi told Wan Jiagui her escape plan, and the two went out to buy clothes. She planned to let Wan Jiagui dress up as a woman on the day of the grave relocation and take the opportunity to go out of the city. After shopping for clothes, Moxi took Wan Jiagui to the night market. Seeing Moxi's happy and carefree smile, Wan Jiagui's heart gradually moved.
