After discovering Qin Shuzhen's actions, Family Head Ye divorced her.
Ye Hanchen was disappointed but felt too ashamed to face the Xiao brothers. He applied for a transfer to the frontier fortress to defend the country.
Ye Qingzi was shocked to learn that her mother had been the one who used her to harm Tong Wan. She went to her father, Family Head Ye, pleading for leniency, but the elders of the Ye family refused to acknowledge her as their matriarch. Family Head Ye remained firm in his decision to divorce Qin Shuzhen.
With her father cold and her brother avoiding her, Ye Qingzi turned to her grandfather, Old Master Qin, for help. However, he informed her that he had relinquished his power and was unable to assist her.
Next, she sought out Qin Xian and Qin Shuling, who were now in charge of the Qin family. Unfortunately, they were unwilling to help her and refused to become enemies with the Xiao family over Qin Shuzhen.
