Mingxuan asks if anyone else benefited from the marriage between chen and jian. He thinks that if the marriage were simple, jian would not be afraid to tell the truth. Mingxian thinks that jian is too close to his family to be afraid of telling the truth, so he hopes that they can get over this together. He asks if he can find the evidence to prove that he is the one who forced the marriage. He says that he has feelings for her, and that she is a coward. She tells him that she has been by his side all these years, no matter how bad she treated him. She says that she can't believe that he would kill her for selfish reasons. She asks if they can start over, and he says that they have wasted so much time with each other. He tells her that she needs to be careful with her dead body, and she tells him to let her know if he needs any help. She warns him that the chens and thejians have unlimited resources, and they should strike first and throw her off their plan. She adds that she will make her life hell if he tries to come after her again
