Princess Ning went to Yumanlou to drink tea and took the opportunity to watch Hu Jiao entertain customers. A male customer thought the tea was of low quality and asked Hu Jiao to get better tea. Hu Jiao asked the male customer to pay the deposit first, but the male customer was displeased, thinking that Hu Jiao was inferior.
Hu Jiao calmly reminded the male customer that the best tea is to be purchased, and it is very expensive, and it costs three taels for one tael. The male customer was taken aback, and his words were not as strong as before. Hu Jiao pretended not to need the deposit, and announced that she could buy the tea that the male customer wanted to drink first. The male customer hurriedly stopped Hu Jiao and suggested another day to drink high-quality tea.
Princess Ning saw that Hu Jiao easily resolved the difficulties of the male customer, and secretly praised Hu Jiao for her cleverness. A male customer ran to the female guest area to take a seat, and took the opportunity of drinking tea to touch the two female customers. The two female customers were so frightened that they quickly got up and left. The male customer said that he had a relative who was an official in the DPRK, and ignored Hu Jiao. Instead of being intimidated by the male customer, Hu Jiao used force to drive away the male customer.
Princess Ning saw it clearly, and secretly marveled that Hu Jiao was indeed somewhat similar to Ruo Ran. Hu Jiao sat in front of Princess Ning and guessed the identity of Princess Ning. Princess Ning was dressed well and had more manners than any female customer in the store. Hu Jiao didn't understand why Princess Ning suddenly came to visit. Concubine Ning was recognized, she simply opened the skylight to speak brightly, believing that Hu Jiao was seducing Prince Ning.
Princess Ning had also heard that Hu Jiao and Xu Qingjia had a fake marriage, so she reminded Hu Jiao that there was no need to use fake marriage to fool her. Hu Jiao did not deny that she and Xu Qingjia had a fake marriage before, but it was all a matter of Chen Zhi's rotten millet. She and Xu Qingjia were already a real couple.
Hu Jiao mentioned the young Xiaobei and reminded Princess Ning that she could not always impose her own ideas on Xiaobei, restrict Xiaobei from eating, drinking and having fun, and treat Xiaobei as a puppet. After listening to Hu Jiao's persuasion, Princess Ning confessed to King Ning after returning to the house, and decided to let go of her heart and stop obsessing about using Xiaobei to please King Ning.
King Ning was moved by Princess Ning, hugged Princess Ning, and blamed herself for neglecting Princess Ning for many years. King Ning went to Yumanlou and praised Hu Jiao for doing a good deed. He was very curious about what Hu Jiao said to the princess, which caused the princess to decide to be a new person.
Jia Jifang has been confined in the house for half a month. Jia Jifang couldn't bear the loneliness, and wanted to go out to the house to play with his friends. The two gatekeepers stopped Jia Jifang, and no one could let Jia Jifang go without Jia Xiang's permission. Jia Jifang put on the upper and lower clothes and put on a fake beard, trying to sneak out of the house.
The two guards, with sharp eyes, saw through Jia Jifang, who was disguised as a man. A woman shouted and was chased outside Yumanlou by a group of men. The woman's name was Ge Sang, and she had a miserable life. Hu Jiao drove away the men who were chasing Ge Sang, led Ge Sang upstairs, and ordered someone to bring a bowl of food for Ge Sang to eat.
Ge Sang told Hu Jiao and Yuniang that her father had taken in a man not long ago. Unexpectedly, the man was a criminal who killed her father and brother in the middle of the night, and she was the only one who survived. After listening to Ge Sang's story, Hu Jiao felt sympathetic and decided to take in Ge Sang.
In fact, Ge Sang belonged to Master Fu. Gesang's family died at the hands of Xu Qingjia and Gao Zheng. She regarded them as enemies and was willing to sacrifice her life for Master Fu.
Hu Jiao suddenly felt unwell, Xu Qingjia called the doctor, the doctor took care of Hu Jiao and wished Xu Qingjia to become a father soon. Xu Qingjia was overjoyed when she heard that she was going to be a father. When Hu Jiao waited for the doctor to leave, she rolled over and sat up from the bed. Xu Qingjia quickly stepped forward to stop her. He thought that Hu Jiao was pregnant and could not move around freely, otherwise she would hurt the child in her belly.
