Episode 10 recap: Shen Zhen faced coercion.
The people around Man Niang informed him about the plan from Mr. Zhao's side to have him test whether Lu Shi Yan was staying in the mansion. However, it was already late in the evening, and Man Niang had no intention of going there to face possible danger. Unexpectedly, the people around him continued to threaten him, so he had no choice but to pretend to be courageous and arrange for the maid by his side to investigate.
Shen Zhen, hiding inside the house, heard a distress signal from outside. Initially, he had no intention of going, but fearing that it would raise suspicions, he reluctantly prepared to investigate. To his surprise, the old lady beside him suddenly planned to take advantage of the distraction and push him into the lake. At that critical moment, Lu Shi Yan arrived at the scene and saved Shen Zhen instead, pushing the other person into the lake. After that, they both pretended to be in a sorry state. Shen Zhen, who witnessed this scene, couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. After returning home, they continued to discuss important matters and planned to meet Man Niang the next day. Upon noticing someone eavesdropping nearby, they again went to bed and put on a show, pretending to be an affectionate couple.
The next day, Man Niang still refused to give up and prepared to give the person beside her a medicated bath. Shen Zhen directly ordered the guards outside to keep a close watch on the door. Meanwhile, he planned to undress the person and examine their scars. Upon learning of the situation, Shen Zhen hurriedly rushed to the scene and caused a scene when they were in the midst of a dispute. In desperation, Shen Zhen cleverly revealed that she was pregnant, which finally convinced the person to leave. Afterward, they continued to be cautious.
In the evening, Zhou Yushi and Shen Ran followed the clues and arrived at the kitchen to investigate. When Shen Ran saw the utensils used for carrying water nearby, she knew that her husband was not afraid of the courtyard catching fire. He was actually planning to experiment with the opponent's birthdate on them. While they were in the midst of their actions, someone suddenly came to inspect the area. In a panic, Zhou Yushi and the person beside him hid, and just as they succeeded and left, Shen Ran, who had been standing exhausted, suddenly collapsed. The person beside her brought her back to the room to rest, and when she woke up, he left alone, relieved.
Inside the room, Man Niang's mother-in-law continued to remind her to take action against Lu Shi Yan. This time, she used the life of Lu Shi Yan's sister as a threat to disorient the person in front of her. Unexpectedly, Lu Shi Yan took the initiative to come to her. After successfully revealing the scar to the person outside, he had no intention of continuing the act and directly suppressed her. The person beside him urged her to confess everything and cooperate with his work. This time, Man Niang saw that the person was willing to stand up for her and prepared to cooperate in the act. After returning, she informed Mr. Zhao about Lu Shi Yan taking the poison. Seeing the response from the person next to him, Mr. Zhao had no suspicions and handed her the antidote.
In order to obtain the gold as soon as possible, Mr. Zhao sent someone to personally invite Lu Shi Yan. Shen Zhen himself also went along this time. Just as they were about to start drinking, Madam Zhao grabbed the person next to her and suggested they go and look at calligraphy and paintings together. However, after they entered, she slyly left the person outside and closed the door. At that moment, the people around Mr. Zhao revealed their true intentions and held a sword to Shen Zhen's neck, forcing her to confess all the truths.
