Why Is the Knot Puzzled?

Du Chongshan, the boss of Parkson Bank in the Jiangnan provincial capital, was poisoned in his house. His wife was unbearable and her son was young. Du Ruo, the only daughter who had not left the court, took on the responsibility of the family business. At this time, Parkson Bank was in another economic crisis. A year ago, the prefect Zhang Gongzhi intervened in the salt transportation and borrowed 100,000 silver from Parkson Bank in his own name. The prefect's intervention in the salt transportation, which was seriously inconsistent with the salt transportation regulations of the Ming Dynasty, made Du Chongshan's death even more confusing. Wan Qingchen, the young shopkeeper of Parkson Bank and the housekeeper of the Du family, is Du Chongshan's adopted son and right-hand assistant, and has done many things for Du Ruo; the new imperial examination candidate Chen Jiarong and Du Ruo know each other and are Du Ruo's white moonlight; Su Muyu is a big customer of Parkson Bank, and falls in love with Du Ruo at first sight, giving Du Ruo the love of his father and brother. A long-planned murder, several bad relationships that began and ended, and Du Ruo, who has gone through thousands of twists and turns, holds the confession of his long-term lover: "The flowers bloom on the road and slowly return home." He goes to the destination of love.
