Step aside, let me take charge!.

Summary

The chapter summarizes a conversation between Shen Tang and a tea guest. Shen Tang is concerned about her family's grain shop being taken over by her clan elders, who want to adopt their young grandson as the heir instead of letting Shen Tang inherit it. She argues that if a woman can rule the nation, then a family's legacy should go to their own daughter rather than an outsider. . The tea guest is initially unsupportive of Shen Tang's views, but becomes alarmed when she mentions the ruler, fearing she is speaking disrespectfully. Shen Tang assures him the ruler is broad-minded. The tea guest then confides that he witnessed a "Yin Ghost" emerging from a graveyard, and Shen Tang decides to investigate further, suspecting it may be related to the disappearance of an inspector named Zheng Yu. She intends to board a flower boat to look into the matter, believing the Zhe Chong Dou Wei's cooperation will be needed.
