Episode 12 recap: Shen Zhen stayed away from Lu Shi Yan.
After tying up Mr. Zhao, Lu Shi Yan planned to take them all and escape via the waterway. However, they unexpectedly encountered an ambush halfway. At that moment, the people on the boat wanted their subordinates to take the prisoner and leave while they stayed behind to hold off the pursuers. Although Lu Shi Yan was highly skilled, he found it difficult to fight against the large number of attackers. While he was at a disadvantage, the guards around Mr. Zhao relentlessly attacked him. Eventually, both Lu Shi Yan and Mr. Zhao fell into the river and sustained serious injuries.
After arriving at their destination, Shen Zhen waited anxiously. Despite the others rushing over, they couldn't find any trace of Lu Shi Yan even after waiting for a long time. Shen Zhen grew increasingly worried. After the reinforcements arrived, she decided to continue forward alone, intending to search for Lu Shi Yan. When she reached the riverside, she directly pulled the person out of the water and, upon seeing the injuries, couldn't help but burst into tears.
Following her meeting with Zhou Yushi, Shen Ran directly voiced her suspicions about the female official in her household, suspecting a close connection between her and her husband. After hearing these words, Zhou Yushi began analyzing the situation and also felt that there must be something behind it. In this situation, Zhou Yushi continued to remind the people around him about the matter of divorce, and he unhesitatingly presented the divorce document stating that Li Di hadn't divorced outside. Unexpectedly, when he confronted Li Di with the official's suggestion, Li Di planned to eliminate the He family for his own future path. These words were quickly heard by people outside.
On the other side, Shen Zhen remained faithfully by Lu Shi Yan's side, taking care of him. When she saw others getting injured, she decided to stay behind and take care of them personally. However, when the others were about to leave, Lu Shi Yan held onto someone and prevented them from leaving. He even took the initiative to kiss Shen Zhen.
Unexpectedly, in the middle of the night, Shen Zhen discovered that the person in bed had a fever. She suddenly remembered what the doctor had said and carefully wiped their body. After finishing the task, Shen Zhen began to feel tired but reminded herself not to sleep. It wasn't until dawn that the person lying on the bed showed signs of improvement. Shen Zhen became extremely worried and ran over to comfort them, expressing that she wouldn't leave. At that moment, she stared at the person's mouth for a while and suddenly recalled the scene of them kissing the previous night. She started feeling shy and even leaned down, intending to kiss them again. However, the person in front of her suddenly opened their eyes, startling Shen Zhen. She became incoherent and made excuses to leave. In the end, neither of them clarified the situation regarding the kiss from the previous night.
Once Lu Shi Yan had recovered sufficiently, he quickly got up and prepared to meet Mr. Zhao. However, Mr. Zhao still refused to eat or drink and had no intention of revealing the mastermind behind everything. Frustrated by his lack of cooperation, Lu Shi Yan angrily grabbed his collar and intentionally called him a pawn.
Since returning, Shen Zhen had been sighing constantly. While continuing their journey, she deliberately avoided Lu Shi Yan and had no intention of getting close to him. It wasn't until the carriage stopped by the roadside that Lu Shi Yan, concerned, followed to offer water to someone. However, Shen Zhen became angry upon hearing his plan to return to the capital and left. Lu Shi Yan smiled slightly when he saw the dropped portrait on the ground.
