Part III Reunion and Triumph

Quite worried that they may be found out and indicted, Liu Mengmei and Du Liniang flee to LinAn and temporarily stay in HangZhou. Liu Mengmei must be on his way to the public exams, and the newly-weds are separated once again. Liu Mengmei makes a long difficult journey to visit the home of Liniang’s father. Unfortunately, the old man is convinced that Liu Mengmei has raided his daughter’s grave, and so orders Liu Mengmei to receive lashes and be arrested. At this time, news of the official examination results reaches the in-laws. Liu Mengmei is the top scorer and is invited to the Emperor’s palace, where the family is finally reunited.
