This episode centers on the fierce confrontation between Gu Nuannuan, the legitimate daughter of the Gu family, and her grandmother and father, Gu Wu. Gu Nuannuan, with sharp words, publicly exposes her grandmother's humble origins and illiteracy, using this to counter her illegitimate sister, Gu Xiangyan, who attempts to suppress her with filial piety. Later, her father, Gu Wu, returns home and indiscriminately scolds his wife, Su Minlan, for angering the grandmother, demanding that Su Minlan learn from the concubine Yu Feng'er to "please elders." Gu Nuannuan seizes upon a loophole in her father's words, employing the feudal logic of strict hierarchy between legitimate and illegitimate offspring, to publicly question her father why he would have the main wife learn from a servant, leaving Gu Wu speechless. Meanwhile, Prince Mu Rongyun witnesses Gu Nuannuan's "combat prowess" from the shadows.
