Tang Jinshu (Prince Pingyang) and Gu Liancheng (Chief Minister) join forces to set a trap. Tang Jinshu first instructs Gu Liancheng to take away the genuine artwork commissioned by Jiang Zixu, and then persuades Gu Liancheng during a secret meeting to have Yun He swap the paintings. At the birthday banquet, the painting presented by Jiang Zixu is confirmed to be a fake, and Prince Rui, Xiao Jichen, seizes the opportunity to mock him. Tang Jinshu appears and adds insult to injury, exposing Jiang Zixu for embezzling royal funds to buy a fake painting to deceive Lord Qi and tarnish the reputation of scholars from humble backgrounds. Finally, Tang Jinshu publicly announces that the Prince Pingyang's manor severs all ties with Jiang Zixu, shattering his dream of climbing the social ladder by associating with the powerful.
