Episode 2 recap: Zhao Xiao Ren pretended to be the bride.
The crown prince was very shocked when he saw the bride, and questioned her, saying that she could not possibly be Lu Zuo's daughter. This bride was Zhao Xiao Ren in disguise. She had seen Lu Zuo's real daughter, who was not very good-looking and already had a lover, so Zhao Xiao Ren impersonated her identity and sent her away to elope with her lover.
The crown prince stated that Zhao Xiao Ren's identity must be problematic, and he wanted to take her back to interrogate her. Jun Mo stopped the crown prince, saying that if he took her away, people would gossip that the crown prince was taking his brother's wife, which would damage his reputation. The crown prince had no choice but to give up, and went back to report the matter to the empress. The empress told the crown prince not to act rashly, and had someone investigate Zhao Xiao Ren's identity.
Zhao Xiao Ren wanted to assassinate Jun Mo. Jun Mo and Zhao Xiao Ren fought, and he recognized her as the woman who had previously tried to assassinate him. Jun Mo discovered that Zhao Xiao Ren had a jade pendant that belonged to the emperor, and mistakenly believed that the emperor had sent Zhao Xiao Ren to kill him. Zhao Xiao Ren went along with the misunderstanding and claimed to be an imperial envoy.
Zhao Xiao Ren discovered that Jun Mo also had a jade pendant that belonged to her father. Jun Mo seemed to value this pendant greatly, but did not say where it came from. Jun Mo and Zhao Xiao Ren made a pact - Zhao Xiao Ren would now pretend to be Jun Mo's wife, and Jun Mo told her she could not reveal the deception, could not go out freely, and had to be discreet.
