The next morning, Mr. Lanxi tells his son that his mother has gone to a nearby manor to visit with her son. He worries that her disapproval will hurt his son, but he assures her that he will be able to convince her to accept him as her son's father. He also tells her about his application to work for the empire group, which will improve the quality of the school's education. He says that he would like to meet jian mo, the wife of Gu Beichen. She has become his wife, he says, just like her father, who was a dead man. He tells her that she is trying to "change the murderer" with her love. The grandmother tells him that he must overcome his mother's disapproval, and she promises that she will always be there for him. She says that she promised her grandfather that she would try her best to find happiness, and now she is his granddaughter. She asks Lanxi what she thinks can be done to make Lanxi forget the past. She thinks that it is hard for her to get over the death of her sister and the disloyalty of her husband, but forcing her to do so would be unfair.
