EPISODIUM
Jiu Si’s parents have a heart-to-heart with Yu Ru and make her aware of the difficult predicament they are facing. They give Yu Ru free rein of the manor while they attend to business elsewhere and whip Jiu Su into shape, which she does by confronting Jiu Si at the brothel. Zhang Yue Er takes this opportunity to generate rumors that the Gu family is not happy with Yu Ru so that Yu Ru’s mother can be punished.
