Episode 11 recap: Shen Zhen left the city alone.
While Lu Shi Yan was drinking, he didn't forget to recite the recipe for the wine. When someone approached him, he directly brought up the topic of gold. The person next to him was happy to cooperate and showed great interest. As they were engrossed in their conversation, they suddenly noticed a masked person outside the door, approaching them step by step. Lu Shi Yan realized that the person next to him had been orchestrating this dangerous situation to test him, but he kept his martial arts skills hidden and continued to play along. When he couldn't hold back anymore, he was prepared to push the person next to him away. At that moment, the assassin stopped him. After they put away their knives, Mr. Zhao was ready to continue discussing business, but the person in front of him was more concerned about his wife and kept asking about her.
When Lu Shi Yan saw the person next to him injured, he became very angry and was ready to leave the scene with him. The adult next to him, seeing their anger, was prepared to make more concessions in their business dealings. Taking advantage of the other party's hesitation, Shen Zhen directly told the person in front of her that it would be foolish not to make money. She didn't even care about the wound on her neck. After they finished negotiating, they sat in the carriage together. Lu Shi Yan felt guilty and carefully wiped the other person's wound, praising them.
On the other side, Zhou Yushi specially wrote a letter to Shen Ran, hoping that he would consider it, but after reading it, Shen Ran put the things back in the cabinet. While Lu Shi Yan continued to paint with the lady next to him, they planned to switch the painting in the adult's house. However, when they were in the middle of painting, the person next to them suddenly mentioned that there was only one box of gold left. This time, they felt that they couldn't hide the matter anymore and decided to secretly sneak in at night and switch the painting. Upon hearing the person's plan, Shen Zhen was very worried about their safety, but the person next to her was confident in the plan and believed they could complete it.
When the time was right at night, Lu Shi Yan secretly went into Mr. Zhao's room and switched the painting. As he was about to leave with the painting, he noticed someone entering the room and quickly hid on the rafters. He unintentionally overheard their conversation. Meanwhile, Shen Zhen was anxiously waiting for her husband in the courtyard, fearing for his well-being.
After Shen Zhen saw her husband successfully obtain the painting, she was extremely excited. They quickly went to the room to inspect the painting and took out the important items from it. When Shen Zhen mentioned their plan to return to the capital city, Lu Shi Yan changed his mind and decided to continue investigating something. This time, they began to suspect that Mr. Zhao had support from someone in the imperial court.
Subsequently, Lu Shi Yan made up his mind to face the danger alone and asked Shen Zhen to take the painting and deliver it to the people in the capital city. He chose to stay behind alone. However, their conversation was quickly overheard by Shen Zhen outside the room. While Shen Ran was preparing for the divorce in the room, unexpectedly, people from the palace were sent to the Li residence. Sensing that something was wrong, Shen Ran went over to make a proactive gesture and discovered their method of communication.
After dressing up, Shen Zhen bid farewell to Lu Shi Yan. This time, she didn't take the jade pendant from his hand and decided to wait for him outside. Once Lu Shi Yan had everything prepared, he instructed others to move the gold. In the midst of it, he deliberately instigated a commotion with the people nearby and intentionally obstructed Mr. Zhao when he was inspecting the gold.
When they entered, Mr. Zhao started chatting with the people inside, but suddenly noticed a fire in the room. Seeing the opportunity, Lu Shi Yan directly drew his knife and attacked Mr. Zhao. Shen Zhen, who was about to leave through the city gate, was stopped, but Man Niang continued to speak kindly to the guards next to her and persuaded them to let Shen Zhen pass.
