Episode 18 recap: General Su misunderstood Lu Shi Yan.
When General Xu's daughter was out shopping with Man Niang, she happened to see a nearby shop preparing to buy sachets. Unexpectedly, they encountered a thief who was planning to steal Shen Zhen's money. Without hesitation, she ran over and engaged in a fight with the thief, intending to snatch the belongings back. However, the thief was relentless and prepared to fight back. After realizing that she couldn't win, the thief threw the money into General Su's hands and left. Upon seeing this, Madame Xu continued to fight with the person in front of her. After a brief exchange, General Su hurriedly took the nearby items and noticed that Shen Zhen was in danger. He immediately stepped forward and protected her.
Later, they encountered the familiar Man Niang again. Shen Zhen promptly informed General Su about her father looking for him. However, when General Su went over, Shen Wen Qi kept making excuses about feeling unwell. When Shen Ran arrived, he expressed concern about the incident with the thief in Shen Zhen's shop. He reassured the people present that the matter had been resolved. However, when he mentioned Lu Shi Yan, he suddenly felt that something was amiss and prepared to seek help. Before leaving, Shen Ran also told General Su that Xu Wei hadn't actually died and reminded him to protect his sister.
Afterward, Lu Shi Yan continued to investigate Xu Wei's whereabouts and had the people around him gather information. After listening to what Man Niang said, he began to suspect that Xu Wei hadn't actually died. He decided to continue monitoring the target and wait for an opportunity to capture him. When the Princess Chang saw that her room was quiet, she specifically called her son back. Upon hearing the news, Lu Shi Yan immediately returned and saw Madame Xu learning to walk. He continued to speak politely in front of his mother, but when the Princess Chang saw the two of them chatting for many days, she planned to betroth Madame Xu to her son. Upon hearing this, Lu Shi Yan became unwilling and directly told his mother that he had someone he liked, then left without hesitation. Madame Xu, upon witnessing this, realized that he had no interest in her and had no intention of forcing him.
When Zhou Yushi met Man Niang, he took the opportunity to talk to her alone about some incidents that happened in Wu Zhou. He wanted her to cooperate in the investigation. When he saw someone nearby falling, he went over and helped them up. Unexpectedly, Shen Ran, who was standing nearby, started feeling jealous. During lunchtime, Zhou Yushi shamelessly stayed behind to have a meal.
When Lu Shi Yan saw the person he liked again, he specifically brought up the fact that his mother was planning to betroth Madame Xu to him. He immediately asserted that he would make the decision regarding marriage and prepared for Shen Zhen to meet his mother and change her opinion. At this moment, he still stood by the person in front of him and was prepared to continue protecting them. Shen Zhen, without hesitation, agreed after listening to him.
General Su suddenly encountered Madame Shen when he was about to leave. The two of them didn't get along and were about to engage in a fight. Unexpectedly, during their confrontation outside, General Su was knocked down by her. This time, they happily drank together and revealed their respective identities, reconciling with each other. However, when he heard Madame Xu mentioning the match between Shen Zhen and Lu Shi Yan, he angrily left. He immediately informed Zhou Yushi about the alliance between the two families and warned him to be cautious.
Unexpectedly, when Shen Zhen and Lu Shi Yan went to see Princess Chang, they planned to express their feelings to each other. However, during the investigation, Princess Chang suddenly said some hurtful words to Shen Zhen, wanting her to give up on her son. Following that, Lu Shi Yan immediately went to capture Xu Wei, but Xu Wei managed to escape into the mansion and took Shen Zhen as a hostage on the spot.
