After some bargaining, Jiang Yifan bravely insisted on going to the Marquis to receive his punishment, leaving Ye Xinyan to take care of Madam Yin.
On this day, Ye Xinyan did not return to her own home but stayed to accompany Madam Yin.
As expected, Jiang Yifan was severely scolded by Marquis Zhongyong. After he emerged from the Marquis' room, several cousins took him off for a lavish meal and drink. After eating and drinking his fill, he was arranged to rest in a guest room at the Hou Mansion for the night, not returning to the Jiang Mansion.
The next morning, Ye Xinyan completely ignored Madam Yin's tangled and awkward expression and boldly served Madam Yin her medicine. As they ate breakfast, Ye Xinyan casually suggested Madam Yin visit Cien Temple to pray and offer incense for Zhao Gang's safety.
