Qin Wan rushes back to the Qin manor to attend to her pregnant sister-in-law. While there, she meets her mysterious 2nd brother, who is afflicted with a disease and is asking for her help. She also begins investigating the purple bamboo grove, which has been deemed off-limits by their grandmother for some unknown reason.

it's hard not to get creeped out by the going's on in this black bamboo forest. I'm surprised they are taking on syphillis in this episode given how hard it is to deal with especially once visual symptoms appear. This seems to be a virtual epidemic.
Shen Wan helps a pregnant mom and receives an expensive gift. She did not want to take it but was made to feel obligated. The Prince knows she isn’t happy there and offers her a chance to go to capital. He tells her he is leaving soon so she and servant getting herbs for med packs. They come across a dead body. She was a servant from the Qin household and rather than get authorities Steward Liu said he’d take care of it. She knows the murder had something to do with the purple bamboo grove and even tho off limits she went to investigate. The first time, steward Liu redirects her and the second time he was much more threatening. She was introduced to a cousin who has syphilis. She promises to make meds for him. Was he the one spying on her or was it another? The prince found tracks and wants his aide to follow her. He is also mounting a deeper search into the whereabouts of Shen Wan. Nobody has a picture of her so the search has been more difficult. I think he knows more about the Qins than she does. 🤣 He and his aide…footwork is weak go lift the stone lock 200x 😂I like this martial arts family. Their efforts to keep skills sharp by testing each other is fun. The loud pouty daughter tired of being locked up sure changed her tune about hurting herself when she fell down the well. 😝 I think she really found bones and the steward tossed up a decoy to distract. I want to know why Shen Wan wasn’t as curious about that as the bamboo grove? It was closer and more accessible. While shopping at apothecary, she noticed the same syphilis rash on the concubine. Since penicillin not an option it seems there were meds that worked better each gender than one overall cure.The purple bamboo grove seemed a creepy place for a rendezvous, but the concubine sure looked pleased to be there. She was all expectation until she wasn’t’ I wonder if she is going to inquire about Lianye. Did she have the disease too? Who lured them there when they know Lady Qin has declared it off limits. While the concubine definitely held her in contempt, it is doubtful the young servant did. What was there about the well that had Ms Qin giving the concubine the side eye and the concubine the mocking return look? Are there more women stacked up somewhere or a lover’s bones in the well? I hope she gets away from this family very soon.
