Strangely, on the evening Yueyao went to Marquis Jingning's Residence, the Lady of Marquis Jingning felt unwell all over and had a bad night's sleep. Because of this incident, the Lady of Marquis Jingning was convinced that Yueyao's destiny was overpowering and harmful to others, so she demanded that Mingzhu sever ties with Yueyao.
Mingzhu naturally disagreed with her mother's claim, arguing, "Mother, if Yueyao were really harmful to others, then why am I perfectly fine after living with her in the mountains for over two months? In those months, let alone a fever, I didn't even have a mosquito bite. Mother, could you please not listen to Bai Han's nonsense? He's just a troublemaker who can't stand to see others doing well."
The Lady of Marquis Jingning was momentarily silenced but maintained a firm stance, prohibiting Mingzhu from seeing Yueyao again and instructed Madam Ping to stop inviting Yueyao over.
