Sobbing, Ruan Meiying asked, "Brother! Do you know who you're going to sue?"

Ruan Dafeng wiped away her tears: "I'm going to sue that prefect of Kaifeng and that so-called imperial envoy."

Hearing Ruan Dafeng's words, Ruan Meiying thought for a moment before speaking, "Brother, that imperial envoy came to my place a few days ago, and that's how I learned about their scheme. But just now, Wang Sanniang came to see me and said..." At this point, Ruan Meiying was too embarrassed to continue. She didn't know how to tell her brother that she was going to be bought by her enemy and that she would have to go back to the capital with him.

Seeing that she remained silent, Ruan Dafeng grew anxious. "Speak! What's wrong?"

"What did Wang San Niang say to you?"

Ruan Meiying steeled her heart, raised her head and looked at Ruan Dafeng. "Wang Sanniang said that the imperial envoy will redeem me and take me to the capital."

Upon learning of this, Ruan Dafeng was furious. He shouted, "These corrupt officials are worse than pigs and dogs! They disregard the laws of the court, act recklessly, treat human life like dirt, disregard the common people, and even bully men and women. With people like these in the court, the country will decline sooner or later!"

Because of her father's death and the influence of Ruan Dafeng, Ruan Meiying now hates Hongshi intensely and is consumed by thoughts of revenge, wanting to make these beasts pay the price.

Ruan Meiying pondered how to take revenge, and finally she came up with a plan. She told Ruan Dafeng, "Brother, I have a way to take revenge. I will tell Wang Sanniang in a little while that I agree to go to the capital with that person."

Upon hearing Ruan Meiying agree to go to the capital, Ruan Dafeng jumped up in a panic: "Meiying, are you crazy! He's the one who killed our father, how can you be with him!"

“Brother!” Ruan Meiying raised her hand to stop him from continuing. “Let me finish. I agreed to his request only because I wanted to infiltrate his side. Only in this way can we find out who he is, find evidence of their crimes, and avenge Father.”

Knowing that Ruan Meiying didn't really want to be with Hongshi, Ruan Dafeng breathed a sigh of relief. However, since Ruan Meiying was his own sister, he still said with concern, "Meiying, isn't this too dangerous for you? What if things are exposed and they try to harm you? We can think of other ways. That guy is so wicked. You'll suffer if you stay with him. I don't want you to take the risk."

Ruan Meiying gave a bitter laugh: "Brother, don't worry, I will be careful. I am willing to do anything to avenge Father, and this is the only way we have now, isn't it?"

Ruan Dafeng knew this was the only way, and finally reluctantly agreed.

The two then discussed things in the room for a while longer. Finally, Nguyen Mei Ying saw Nguyen Dai Phong out and reminded him to take good care of himself.

Watching Ruan Dafeng's departing figure, Ruan Meiying said to Xique, "Xique, go and call Wang Sanniang here, and tell her I have something to say to her." Then she went back to her room.

After a while, Magpie brought Wang San Niang back. When Wang San Niang came in, Ruan Mei Ying told her that she had agreed to go to the capital with Hong Shi. Wang San Niang was overjoyed when she heard this and praised her for being sensible and understanding. She said that being redeemed was better than spending her whole life in a brothel. She also helped Ruan Mei Ying to live a good life after being redeemed.
