In ‘Festering Resentment,’ Maomao learns that Luomen and Guen are stationed at the clinic. Luomen distributes safety warnings disguised as writing exercises for wider dissemination. At the vocational school, Maomao uncovers connections to past abuses and suspects Shenlü of exploiting patients to educate Shin on abortifacients.

Suirei then confronts Maomao, threatening Shisui and offering the resurrection medicine formula in exchange for her cooperation. Meanwhile, Lakan ‘reports’ the fief circulation to Shishou and the disguised crown prince. Afterward, Ah-Duo and Basen note Maomao’s sudden disappearance, which is distracting Jinshi.
