Chronicle of the Dowry Scandal's Exposure
Shen Shujun married into the Lou family sixteen years ago. Her husband, Lou Jinghuai, faked his death, while her in-laws and younger sister, Shen Jiarou, pressured her to donate her entire dowry. They even wanted to take away the title of County Lady belonging to her adult adopted daughter, Shen Chaoyang. Pretending to agree, Shen Shujun secretly retrieves Chaoyang, who is being held captive at a weaving workshop in Baihua Alley. While secretly investigating Meiyuan Garden at night, she overhears a conspiracy revealing that Lou Jinghuai faked his death, deceived her to obtain her dowry, and colluded with the enemy. When an imperial decree arrives at the residence, she lures Lou Jinghuai into exposing himself in front of everyone and produces irrefutable evidence of his treason, bringing charges of deceiving the emperor and betraying the country against him. In the end, she takes her dowry back to the Shen family, donates silver to the genuine soldiers defending the northern border, regains control of the imperial merchant business, and begins a new life with Chaoyang.

Shen Shujun telah berkahwin dengan keluarga Lou selama enam belas tahun. Suaminya, Lou Jinghuai, memalsukan kematiannya, manakala mentua dan adik perempuannya, Shen Jiarou, memaksanya mendermakan seluruh mas kahwinnya. Mereka malah mahu merampas gelaran Nona Daerah milik anak angkatnya yang sudah dewasa, Shen Chaoyang. Shen Shujun berpura-pura bersetuju, tetapi secara rahsia membawa pulang Chaoyang yang ditahan di bengkel tenunan di Lorong Baihua. Ketika menyiasat Taman Mei pada waktu malam, dia terdengar komplot yang membongkar bahawa Lou Jinghuai telah memalsukan kematiannya, memperdayanya untuk mendapatkan mas kahwin, dan bersekongkol dengan musuh. Apabila titah diraja tiba di kediaman, dia memerangkap Lou Jinghuai sehingga identitinya terbongkar di hadapan semua orang, lalu menyerahkan bukti kukuh pengkhianatannya. Lou Jinghuai akhirnya didakwa kerana memperdaya Maharaja dan mengkhianati negara. Akhirnya, Shen Shujun membawa pulang mas kahwinnya ke keluarga Shen, menyumbangkan wang perak kepada para askar sejati yang mempertahankan sempadan utara, mengambil semula kawalan perniagaan pedagang diraja, dan memulakan kehidupan baharu bersama Chaoyang.
