Marquis Wang and Yun’niang have to give face to Shen Jin due to her status as an earl’s wife. Shen Jin demands more respect from them towards Shen Shu. She also wants Shen Shu to be given the right to bring up Yun’niang’s child. Yun’niang has to agree when the topic of Shen Shu’s miscarriage is brought up. Shen Shu is grateful to Shen Jin for standing up for her but Marquis Wang is not too happy about it. She also advises Shen Jin to have a baby. Shen Jin discusses it with General Chu who gives her no pressure to conceive. Her store finally opens but there is a competitor opposite hers which is selling the same goods at a lower price. Shen Jin and Rou Rou then bump into Wu Ruo Nan who is their childhood friend. Ruo Nan tells them later that she is their competitor to Shen Jin’s annoyance. Xiu Yuan is now the market supervisor and informs all the fabric stores about a bid for a palace order. General Chu explains to Shen Jin that it is not right for him to help her. Xiu Yuan recognizes Ruo Nan as the girl who had saved him from falling off a cliff when they were kids. He wants to woo her. Shen Jin willingly helps him to pick a gift for the girl he is interested in without knowing that she is Ruo Nan. Shen Jin needs to stock up in case she wins the palace bid but is also worried about surplus inventory if her bid fails. She tells her husband she could probably sell it to prominent families in the capital but he is not too comfortable if his wife is seen selling wares to everyone. But he is still supportive of her decision. (Source: Dramaslot.com)
