Rong yu is taken away by Lord Rong

Rong Yu now comprehends words and follows Jiu Ling's instructions. Jui Ling overhears the old lady who is giving them shelter for the night's conversation with her neighbor. Even though the old lady is poor, she did not hesitate to give shelter to these two people in need. At breakfast Jiu Ling gives the lady a gold ingot for her kind help. Rong yu who is still childlike feeds Jiu Ling portidge with his spoon, Jui ling teaches him to put food in his mouth instead of hers. After changing their dresses to mix in the crowd, Jiu Ling along with Rong Yu take leave from the old lady.

On their way to find a carrige to take them near their destination, they meet the painter who made Rong Yu's sketches for livelihood. Jiu Ling leaves Rong Yu in the painter's care. After giving Rong Yu his favourite pancakes with fragrant powder sprinkled on it, she leaves to inquire carriage availability for their journey to her master's place hoping to find a cure for Rong Yu's condition. Inside the office, Lord Rong is waiting for her, he slaps her and forcibly takes Rong Yu away with him. Rong Yu keeps shouting for her and jiu ling also tries to reach him but both are separated.

Jiu ling is sent back to her house. Rong Yu becomes depressed by this separation and doesn't eat anything, looking for the same pancakes jiu ling used to give him on their journey. Jiu ling writes a letter to her master begging her to come treat Rong Yu, but her master refuses as she has an old grudge against astrology tower ministers. Jiu ling also writes a letter to her senior, telling him of the adverse effect of his medication on Rong Yu. Inspite of being hurt himself, her senior decides to send her life saving herb to cure Rong Yu. Meanwhile, jiu ling realises the need to become strong so that nobody takes away her loved one again so she earnestly starts learning martial arts with her elder brother's help.

Rong yu's guards who created diversion are brought back to Rong mansion, Lord Rong allows them to continue to be Rong Yu's guards but punishes them. One of the guard takes punishment for both, he is branded on his cheek as punishment. Jiu ling sits outside Rong mansion, other courtiers come out from the house making fun of Rong Yu. Jiu ling beats then. She is seen by Lord Rong who is a little impressed but decides not to intervene. Jiu ling is also seen by Rong Yu's guard who approaches her and asks her to meet Rong Yu.

Rong Yu is taken by the guard to their window overlooking the house next door, Jiu ling is standing in that courtyard. Rong Yu waves at her happily and starts eating food.
