White Cat Legend Ep 17: Ding Yuxi unveils more secrets related to Qin Wan

Shangguan arrives at the Mingjing Hall and announces that she has made progress in the case. A beautiful woman accompanies her. Her name is Ms. Kou. She is the person who redeemed the deceased man’s qin after he pawned it. She also explains that she had a special relationship with Du Cheng, the umbrella maker, and it was he who asked her to redeem the qin. The judicial court also finds out that Qin Wan, the deceased man, made the five minerals powder himself.

They come to know about a sage who manipulated the umbrella maker to get his hands on the five minerals powder. The members raid his place to catch him. But before they can get to him, he overdoses on the five minerals powder and passes out in front of their eyes.

Shangguan declares that the case has been solved. She concludes that Qin Wan hid the five minerals powder inside his qin, and this sage manipulated Du Cheng and murdered Qin Wan to get his hands on this magical supplement. Li Bing, on the other hand, is not satisfied with the findings.

Li Bing decides to interrogate Ms. Kou once again. During the interrogation, she reveals the special bond she shared with Qin Wan. She tells Li Bing about the horrible conditions the chancellor kept his brother. He beat him daily and did not let him play with his beloved qin. Kou helped him hide from debt collectors, and ultimately, he sold his qin to save Kou from being harassed.
