Episode 16 recap: Lu Shi Yan helped Shen Zhen.
After Lu Shi Yan returned, he carefully observed the things on the ground at the crime scene. After noticing those small details, he suddenly realized that the culprits were all acquaintances. He then instructed his subordinates to act as the culprit to recreate the crime scene. Later, he deduced that the culprit was in his own residence. Unexpectedly, when they called the person to the scene and prepared to expose the culprit, one of the guards standing nearby immediately confessed to being the one who caused the harm. After revealing these circumstances, without hesitation, he ingested poison and took his own life. Even Lu Shi Yan himself couldn't believe what he was witnessing.
After waking up in bed, Shen Ran learned about Zhou Yushi's injury. She immediately rushed over to check on him and promptly sat down to dress his wound without hesitation. Seeing someone in front of her injured for her sake made her feel extremely guilty. Although she was grateful, she didn't know how to repay the person in front of her. Zhou Yushi didn't pay much attention to these thoughts. For him, the person in front of him was someone he cherished and thanked deeply. Without hesitation, he revealed that his father had incurred debts and someone came to collect. It was at that time that the person in front of him helped him pay off all the money. Upon hearing this story, Shen Ran finally remembered the small favor she had done years ago. However, due to the complications caused by her ex-husband, she had no plans for a future relationship.
Later, they went together to confront Li Di. Unexpectedly, Li Di remained stubborn and continued to argue with the person in front of him. He believed that everything he did was right, and it was only his wife's father who was stubborn. Seeing his persistence, Shen Ran didn't hesitate to slap him. They continued to pressure Li Di and forced the person in front of him to sign and stamp documents. However, when Li Di struggled, he suddenly felt unwell and collapsed on the ground, coughing up blood and dying. Zhou Yushi, who was standing nearby, was shocked to see this.
After successfully helping the father of their loved one to clear his name, Lu Shi Yan immediately informed the person of this good news without hesitation. Upon hearing these words, Shen Zhen excitedly grabbed the person next to her and became overjoyed. Unexpectedly, their intimate gesture was noticed by General Su, who entered the room and began to feel jealous. He then regained his composure and continued to pull the person next to him, preparing to go together to see the situation of their sister.
After successfully meeting her sister, Shen Zhen joyfully embraced her. After catching up with each other, they planned to continue accompanying their father. However, General Su went out of his way to approach Zhou Yushi. Seeing that Zhou Yushi had no intention of revealing the entire case to him, General Su directly handed over the emperor's decree and urged him to disclose the details. Unexpectedly, General Su unhesitatingly took out a piece of cloth and, upon seeing the name of the eldest son written on it, continued to express his suspicion that Lu Shi Yan's mother was behind the scenes orchestrating everything, planning to incite rebellion. However, Zhou Yushi, standing in front of him, still did not want to make hasty judgments based solely on this.
Later, Shen Zhen immediately went to the room to find Lu Shi Yan. Upon hearing that their father was about to be released from prison, she became excited. Their intimate behavior happened to be noticed by General Su, who deliberately warned them while someone else was fetching things. He pointed out that the two of them had grown up together since childhood. However, the current Lu Shi Yan was unwilling to listen to what he had to say and was still prepared to seek the opinion of the parties involved.
Just as Lu Shi Yan was about to leave, unexpectedly, Shen Ran chased after him without hesitation and thanked him for his help. However, this time she didn't want her own younger sister to be embroiled in a power struggle and was determined to continue living a peaceful life, hoping that the person in front of her would learn to let go. The next day, Shen Zhen's father was released from prison, and the two sisters started crying in pain upon seeing him. The elderly person standing nearby even invited their benefactor to continue having a meal at their home. In this situation, Zhou Yushi graciously agreed and followed them inside.
