Five years after being cast aside by the He family, Jiang Zhaohua is already the head of the capital's largest dyeing workshop, and furthermore the Princess Consort of Prince Jing'an, Xie Tingzhou. Her ex-husband He Wenbin brings his six-months-pregnant new bride to show off, throwing down fifty taels of silver under the guise of sympathy, but in reality coveting her Jiang family's ancestral dyeing manual, wanting to take it in exchange for his official career promotion. Outside the door, Prince Jing'an's carriage is parked steadily beneath the stone steps, the four-year-old young prince rushes into her arms calling mother, and the entire room of weavers kneels down in unison to shout "Prince and Princess Consort". He Wenbin stands frozen in place, the fifty taels of silver in his hand becoming a colossal joke.
