Yeah. I do find it interesting that the merchant class is looked down upon by the scholars and nobility. I mean they are pretty essential to a kingdom, but hey.
Also, I'm getting curious if the 10th Noble Son ever finds out the girl he likes in his ex-fiancee. What's his reaction once he knows (if he finds out)?

Spoilers! Going to update more as I read:
-Jiuling stages a husband-wife fight centering around husband sleeping around behind her back. This episode makes it impossible to keep Chengyu's recovery on the down-low, but she makes it transition into weeding out the secret killer.
-Chengyu slept with the girl (Lingzhi) also as a way to figure out what Jiuling, the Old Madam, and his mother were doing. It ruined the plan of keeping his recovery on the down-low, but now he knows there's something fishy about his 'illness' and that they're doing something about it.
-secret killer is store manager Song. He's way too coincidentally on time and even gets a doctor to check up on Chengyu. This is bad for the Fang team because the doctor will be able to tell that Chengyu has actually recovered.
-Chengyu fakes being deathly ill with the grey pallor and all. Even the doctor thinks he's going to cork it because Jiuling worked her medical mojo. The doctor's diagnosis is that Chengyu's meridians are bad and the 'fault' is all the tonics that Jiuling has been stuffing down his throat. Of course, the following weeping and wailing is all staged because they still have to make it look like Chengyu is going to die soon. He can't be officially 'better' until they get rid of the killer.
-Manager Song is a wily thing and they have to keep faking it until he's lured out completely.
-Jinxiu is so adorably tsundere, I kind of want to hug her. At one point when the Fang girls find out about this affair with Lingzhi, she's one of the first to disapprove on principle (in Jiuling's defense). She also believes (along with Yunxiu? I forget how to spell her name, it's the quiet sister) that Jiuling wouldn't do something as stupid as harming Chengyu, which means there's something else going on.
-Chengyu is still antagonizing Jiuling (through the affair with Lingzhi), Old Madam is worried. There's also news that Lingzhi is pregnant -- Jiuling tells Liu'er that she hopes 'she' won't be too greedy.
-Old Madam confronts the doctor and Lingzhi, saying that it's too early to know for sure. She's seen tricks like faked pregnancy pulses before. Lingzhi is nervous.... hm......
To be continued~

Reporting back~
-Jiuling's view on this 'woodcutter': he's not a gentleman, but he's not a villain either. I don't like him (because he took my stuff). LOL
-Lei Zhonglian reveals some more of what happened with Fang dad back then: the attackers were trained soldiers and not bandits, though the bandits admitted to the deed. No one believed him though.
-but Chengyu believes him! He read the reports and though it seems 'impossible,' there's also no other way his dad would be killed if not by some other shadowy force. Lei Zhonglian's flame of loyalty is ignited! :3
-on the other side, Manager Song is having a tantrum again. His people still can't find Chengyu and co.
-Lingzhi's false pregnancy isn't going well under house arrest. She's actually gotten thinner despite her efforts and has to keep eating pregnancy food despite heartily getting sick of it.
-Lingzhi tries to fake a miscarriage with some blood-inducing powder and frame it on Liu'er. But she ends up bleeding anyway without the powder after trying to get it.
-household in controlled chaos again. Old Madam and co. are totally in on this. Lingzhi still tries to frame it on Liu'er. Jinxiu sticks up for Liu'er though!
-real suspect is Concubine Su. She was the hidden poisoner in the household.
-Mom is super angry at this betrayal and crazy with grief
-Old Madam is totally in the know. Turns out they knew Lingzhie wasn't pregnant from the start and were just waiting to spring this trap.
-Concubine Su commits suicide via poison in a tooth before they can stop her or get more info from her. House of cards falling down around Manager Song, huehuehue~
-poor Jinxiu though, she's Concubine Su's daughter and was traumatized.
-Manager Song is angry and arrogant, he goes straight to the estate though he knows its probably a trap. He attacks them with soldiers, archers, and fire. Mom Fang confronts him.
-Manager Song did it all for the money. He wanted to have it all. What an ungrateful little bastard.
-Old Madam comes out! Counterattack begins! She got manpower and the personal appearance of the Yangcheng County Magistrate, Li Changhong. Mr. Magistrate is a bit fearful of these women who are so hell-bent on catching this guy they're willing to die.
-Old Madam and mom come out okay despite minor injuries. Manager Song is arrested and charged guilty. More investigation. Concubine Su is distantly related to Manager Song and was implanted in by him for the sole purpose of ending Fang family. Jinxiu wasn't in their calculations and is completely innocent.
-waiting for Chengyu to come back and settle things, esp. with Lingzhi's false pregnancy and all
-Jiuling and co. arrive at Runan. Stupid fraud person takes her house and sells it without consent. Jiuling is very sad when she thinks of things she tried very hard to get but were always cheated out of, in her past life and this one. She plots with Chengyu to revive the name of her family (Zhenzhen's) medicinal hall (Nine Court-something).
-minor scene seems to suggest that Chengyu has some feelings for Jiuling but knows she feels nothing for him
-it's Jiuling vs. Hu Gui (fraudster) and Yan family master (local landlord?)
-turns hilarious later. Yan family master was beaten up by his parents and made to make amends because Jiuling cured them. LOL
-at Fang estate, Jinxiu is moping and just doesn't understand (why her mother did all those things, etc.). Liu'er tries to cheer her up.
-Jiuling is depressed because this is around the time of year as her birthday and marriage as Princess. It's also the set date for her sister Jiuli's marriage to Yunqi. Jiuling is sad over her sister and both wishes her sister knew about the hidden conspiracies and that she didn't. Sometimes innocence is bliss.
-they come across a guy making money through Go while going to the restaurant. He also mentions Yangcheng and that makes Jiuling annoyed (because of that failed Go game). She goes up to him and they recognize each other and say, 'It's you.' (lololol Zhu Zan)
-Jiuling recognizes him as the solver of her Go game. Zhu Zan (just going to call him that now, it's pretty undeniable) recognizes her as the girl he met at the side of the road/mountains.
-when Jiuling tries to get his name, he tries to run away but Jiuling clings onto him, leading him to yell 'Indecent!.'
-he tries to push her away but she keeps clinging to him. She's so upset over losing, ahahaha~
-now with Chengyu's pushing, everyone's restraining Zhu Zan.
-gets funnier and funnier. Jiuling grabs his belt and drags him over for a Go game that he tries to lie and say he doesn't know how to play. But she's not letting him go lol, then it practically turns into Jiuling assaulting him until the restaurant clears out to leave only Jiuling, Zhu Zan, Chengyu, and Lei Zhonglian
-I won't get into their following argument because it's both cute and funny and hard to summarize here, but Zhu Zan explains how he solved the Go game. It's actually an in-joke -- the solution is to place a piece so that the character for 'pig' is spelled out.
-Jiuling cries like a kid because of this silly answer and because of all her feels from her master and all. Zhu Zan is frantic. Turns out he knew her master too.
-this makes her cry again. She just wants to cry. It turns out she never cried since childhood no matter how sad and her loss at the Lantern Festival was the first time she wanted to really cry. And now it's him, the same person again.
-Jiuling grabs Zhu Zan again and makes him tell her about her master. He can't say much. When pressed for his name again, he uses the pseudonym 'Jiu' (nine), which is coincidentally the same as the 'Jiu' in Jiuling and a number she has deep affinity for. She questions him and makes him want to tear out his hair lol.
-as they prepare to part, she ends up speaking the name on her lips: 'Zhu Zan.' This totally alarms him and he ends up with his hand against her throat because NO ONE SHOULD KNOW. (HAH I'M RIGHT, HE'S TOTALLY ZHU ZAN)
-Jiuling surprised herself with this almost-instinctive ID she made. But she isn't afraid even with the chokehold and this makes Zhu Zan suspicious and curious about who she is.
-she makes up a reason (I think) of how she knows him, something about seeing him before? In Funing County or something, but he takes it and peace is restored.
-this incident scares Chengyu into dropping his crutches and actually walking over to hug Jiuling. Poor kid and his secretly unrequited feelings...... He's still going to fake being lame for a while though for going home.
-Zhu Zan smiles at Jiuling as they leave on the carriage, then pushes out Hu Gui (the toady) and hitches a ride. LOOOOOL
-they talk some more and stop at her medicine hall. 'Jiuling' is up there and he learns it's also her name. He figures something out......
-Zhu Zan also gatecrashes their mealtime and helps himself. This guy makes me laugh so hard, he's so bold. When Jiuling says she didn't lie when she said she was a doctor/pharmacist, he replies that he also didn't lie when he said he was a woodcutter. XD
-LOL, we get a glimpse of the poor people cough what Jinyiwei trying to track down Zhu Zan. They're looking for a woodcutter but the range is so broad...... Plus, 'woodcutter' is also a slang term for people who hunt bandits and the like.
-Zhu Zan continues pestering hanging around Jiuling. She elbows him in the stomach when he goes overboard though. XD
-eventually they're told news that it's okay to go back to the Fang family. Zhu Zan introduces himself as Jiuling's savior and hires himself to escort them back, saying he's 'worth a lot of money.'
-Zhu Zan saves them from getting attacked by taking a detour because of his 'intuition.' But their purpose is to act as 'bait,' so they head into an ambush in the end.
-Lei Zhonglian recognizes the attackers as the same ones from when Fang dad was killed. He's willing to get temporary use of his ruined right hand to fight against them, even if that hand will be truly ruined once he's done. Jiuling does her acupuncture. Meanwhile, Zhu Zan is leading the guards and shooting arrows into the enemies while scolding enemies and allies alike. XD He also makes their hearts waver by intimidating + making them question their decision to attack them by offering money.
-then a lot of blah-blah fighting and back and forth misdirection. Of course, Jiuling's side is fine. Zhu Zan gets in a huff for some reason (I couldn't figure this part out through MTL, I think it's because Jinyiwei'll be lured over by all the soldiers moving around) and leaves, but not before Jiuling smiles at him and asks him if he knows her name. It's funny how he says the same thing to her that she said to Ning Yunzhao -- 'don't think too much,' but she's wondering about something different; why he's running away all the time
