This episode tells how Jiang Yuntang, upon learning that her husband Ye Xiangyao brought back his mistress Jiang Yunxi from the frontier and had a eldest son with her, furiously burned down her courtyard and emptied the mansion's storerooms in retaliation. Despite his anger, Ye Xiangyao dared not divorce Jiang Yuntang easily due to the merits of the Wuan Marquisate behind her. Old Madam Ye and Ye Xiangyao conspired to use their military achievements to petition the emperor to elevate Jiang Yunxi to the status of a secondary wife and grant her a noble title, intending to suppress Jiang Yuntang in terms of status. Their plot was overheard by Gunbao, who has divine backing, and Gunbao decided to immediately inform his mother.
