The Apothecary Diaries anime episode 7 titled Homecoming started off with Xiaolan asking Mamao about the Garden Party. Maomao talks about how she had received four ornaments, which included Lady Gyokuyou's necklace, Lady Lihua's hairpin, Jinshi's hairpin as well as another one from the military officer named Lihaku.

On hearing about the four hairpins, Xiaolan reveals how Maomao would now finally be able to temporarily leave the palace. This was news to Maomao, which prompted her to seek more details about the same.

Maomao then approaches Lihaku in order to return home, but Lihaku is hesitant and somewhat resistant. But Maomao soon convinces Lihaku by presenting him with an opportunity to spend time with one of her three foster sisters, who also happened to be the three top courtesans in their country.

Maomao then returns home with the help of Lihaku, and the episode ends by hinting at yet another incident in Hanamachi.
