 Shuhuan explained that he wanted to "operate" on Yiping and remove her ¨hatred cyst〃. Yiping was afraid she would harm Shuhuan if he continued his relationship with her. Yiping surrendered to Shuhuan and took his advice. On her way to Lu Family, Shuhuan and Yiping saw Xueqin in a familiar black car. Her secret lover, Wei Guangxiong, sent Xueqin and Erjie home. Xueqin bought some cakes for the family. When Yiping and Shuhuan arrived, she insulted Yiping. Yiping sought her father s acceptance of her job at Da Shanghai. Zhenhua disagreed and they argued again. Zhenhua commented that Yiping s contract with Da Shanghai was invalid as Yiping was below maturity age of 20 years old. Yiping refused to give in as Wenpei had given in excessively. As a result, she had to give up her husband and home to another woman. She went further to warn her father of the distrusting people around him. Erjie took the horsewhip for Zhenhua but he sat motionlessly. Yiping calmed down and told her father that she would leave him to fight it out with Qin Wuye. When she left with Shuhuan, Mengping went after them and gave her a slap. Shuhuan was so upset with himself for persuading Yiping to visit the Lu Family. Erhao and Ruping scolded Mengping for slapping Yiping but Xueqin praised her for doing the right thing. Ruping talked back at Xueqin and was slapped. Ruping commented that it was Heaven s retribution. Erhao invited Ruping to go horse ridding with Dufei, Fangyu and himself. Dufei fell from the horse, as it was his first riding experience. Ruping cried when she found out that Dufei was unconscious but got angry when she realized that he had pretended.Wenpei stood in the heavy rain to emotional blackmail Yiping to stop working in Da Shanghai. Shuhuan promised Wenpei that he would take good care of Yiping and ensured her safety.
