Although it was early spring, the garden was already a riot of colors. Yan Ning's mood improved, and she pulled Fu Kang'an closer, "I've never seen such beautiful flowers before!" Fu Kang'an embraced Yan Ning, his mood also brightening, "Then I'll accompany you to admire the flowers. If there are any you like, I'll have them transplanted to the Fu residence! Someone, fetch the flower servant!"
The flower servant arrived promptly and, at Fukang'an's instruction, explained the flower varieties to Yan Ning.

Standing beside the artificial hill, Xi Ying watched Fukang'an and Yan Ning embracing and whispering. Her long, white fingernails drew five white marks on the Taihu stone as she said in a vicious tone, "Yan Ning, you should cherish this small victory. The real show is yet to come!"
