In the Si family's assembly hall, Zhou Xujing openly announced his annulment of the engagement with Si Yun, shocking the Old Madam. Zhou Xujing spoke dismissively, calling Si Yun a "good-for-nothing" and a "burden," unworthy of him, a "dragon among men." Seeing this, Si Qingyao seized the opportunity to confess her love to Zhou Xujing, even offering the Si family's fortune as her dowry. However, she was cruelly rejected by Zhou Xujing. Subsequently, Si Qingyao's ambition was revealed as she attempted to bribe the hall masters and uncles with seventy percent of the Phoenix Club's profits, aiming to seize the position of spokesperson. The Old Madam berated her for betraying the family for personal gain, while Si Qingyao retorted, accusing Si Yun of laziness and mediocrity, which would lead to the Si family's downfall.
