Episode 19 recap: Lu Shi Yan faced slander.
At this moment, Xu Wei continued to hold the knife in his hand and threatened the people in front of him. Seeing that he was about to attack Shen Zhen, Lu Shi Yan was afraid and threw the knife on the ground. Taking advantage of a good opportunity, he successfully knocked down the opponent, and directly saved Shen Zhen who was beside him. When he saw that she was safe, he also planned to check on his mother's condition.
Unexpectedly, the situation of the eldest princess on the other side was also very grim. Just when Zhou Yushi ran to their house under the pretext of chasing fugitives, he directly found some weapons. Seeing these incriminating evidence in front of her, the eldest princess didn't know what to do for a moment. Seeing the people next to her preparing to search her and take her away, she still followed them swaggeringly. Lu Shi Yan happened to witness this scene from hiding and realized that they were planning to capture him later.
After hearing these circumstances, Shen Zhen was very worried about Lu Shi Yan. She specifically went to Zhou Yushi to clarify the situation. At this moment, she still believed that the other side was being framed. However, the adults at present believed in the evidence before their eyes and did not intend to make further judgments. Shen Zhen had no way to deal with this situation. Soon, she saw General Su running over and talking bad about Lu Shi Yan again. She angrily told him not to follow her anymore. When there was no one around, she suddenly remembered what the people around her had said and began to suspect that they had already set a trap for Lu Shi Yan.
On the other side, Lu Shi Yan was alone in an open space, bandaging his wounds. In his mind, he recalled everything that happened during the day and began to suspect the true identity of Steward Zhao. Zhou Yushi tried to extract some clues from Lu Shi Yan's subordinates, but at this moment, Lu Shi Yan remained unshaken and didn't care. Seeing him calmly leaving, Zhou Yushi reminded him to find some evidence to clear his lord's name. Soon, Zhou Yushi ran to the emperor and spoke about the conspiracy of the eldest princess. From his perspective, everything was going too smoothly, and he began to have some doubts. After listening, the emperor gave him ten days. If the truth couldn't be uncovered within that time, the eldest princess would be executed.
After a while, the empress suddenly arrived at the scene and pretended to plead for the eldest princess. Soon after, her son also came to speak on behalf of his aunt. The emperor, infuriated, threw the documents on the ground and began to exhibit his old temper. While Shen Ran was wandering outside with the maidservant, he continued to inquire about clues regarding Lu Shi Yan. They soon noticed a black-clad person nearby who was following them, so they remained vigilant. After catching sight of Lu Shi Yan himself, they pretended not to have seen him and left the scene.
Upon returning, Shen Ran saw that his sister was still thinking about Lu Shi Yan and kindly reminded her not to get involved in that mess. However, she refused to believe his words and her elder sister gave him a slap in response. Soon after, Zhou Yushi sent someone to the residence to inquire about the story of a certain lady. At that moment, the lady sarcastically mocked him, but little did she know that the person beside her was unaware of the tracking. In this situation, Shen Zhen still chose to trust the person she liked without hesitation.
Later on, Lady Xu suddenly came to visit the residence and, after hearing Shen Zhen's willingness to believe in Lu Shi Yan, she began to envy their love story from the bottom of her heart. Unexpectedly, General Su accidentally revealed the information about the discovered clues when he entered the scene. Shen Zhen, upon hearing this, became extremely angry. She blamed herself inwardly for keeping things hidden and carried this burden of guilt upon returning home. When her father saw her troubled expression, he continued to comfort her.
On the other side, Lu Shi Yan waited until midnight and approached the steward's house to gather information. He overheard their conversations regarding the transportation of weapons.
