On the way back home, Daiyu climbed onto Wang Jing's lap. She rested her cheek on his chest while she held onto Liu Jin's hand tightly. Wang Jing continued stroking her hair during the entire ride, soothing her little heart that had been rattled by today's events.
Upon arriving home, her grandfather kissed her good night before Liu Jin gently led her away to bathe her. When she had freshened up, he dried her hair as usual and she fell asleep in his arms. He tucked her in bed and kissed her forehead goodnight before returning to his own room.

Morning came and Daiyu woke up from a nightmare. When the maids heard a commotion coming from her room, they quickly checked in on her and found her on the floor, disheveled and crying loudly.
They immediately called for Wang Jing but the old man had already left the mansion an hour earlier. Liu Jin was likewise notified and he rushed into the room to find Daiyu surrounded by maids who tried to comfort her but to no avail.
