At the mansion gates, he sensed something was wrong — the girl claiming to be Qi Yue (actually Zhu Xianglan’s daughter, Cui Cui) wore familiar clothes and hairpins, but he was suspicious. Inside, he overheard his husband Xiao Beichen conspiring with Zhu Xianglan: they had swapped Qi Yue with Cui Cui, mutilated the real Qi Yue, and schemed to seize his military achievements and the family estate.
