Episode 20 recap: Lu Shi Yan investigated the case.
After meeting up with his subordinates, Lu Shi Yan discussed the matter of the steward with the people nearby. Upon hearing the conversation, his subordinates also became angry that someone in their household was taking advantage of their position and planned to confront the steward. However, they were quickly stopped by the people around them. This time, they were planning to find more evidence to clear the name of the eldest princess and intended to use money to resolve the issues.
On the other side, Su Daren started drinking alone in the middle of the night. He was still upset about Shen Zhen's willingness to die for Lu Shi Yan during the day. Xun Niangzi, who was sitting beside him, listened to his internal turmoil and continued to advise him not to dwell on it. In this situation, she greatly admired the love story between Shen Zhen and Lu Shi Yan. However, the people nearby disagreed after hearing these words and felt that Xun Niangzi didn't understand what love was.
Upon hearing Su General's comments about herself, Xun Niangzi angrily knocked him down. However, upon getting up, she realized that the words of a penniless person had some truth to them and began to search for the person she approved of in her heart. The next day, Shen Zhen also learned that Lu Shi Yan's guards were definitely following him. Without hesitation, she immediately went to Zhou Yushi and deliberately revealed to him that she was being followed and told him about the message written on the strip of cloth. She wanted him to pass these clues to Lu Shi Yan. After hearing these clues, the people in the room also realized the seriousness of the situation and prepared to investigate thoroughly to prove the innocence of the mother.
When Xun Niangzi saw Su General again, she knew that the eldest princess had been wronged. Without a second thought, she grabbed the people next to her and prepared to go find Shen Zhen and have her draw the person with the weapon. Unexpectedly, after the drawing was completed, the person sitting next to her suddenly realized that the person was one of Zhao Chong's former subordinates. They began to believe that the eldest princess had been framed by them. However, when they were leaving, Su General still didn't believe that the eldest princess was a good person. Unable to bear it any longer, Xun Niangzi directly pulled him along to interrogate the person who had stolen the weapon.
Later, Lu Shi Yan specifically went to the prison cell to see his mother. When the eldest princess saw her son, she was extremely excited but still wanted him to leave the dangerous place quickly. Before leaving, the people present assured her that they would help clear her name. After going out, Lu Shi Yan successfully met with Shen Zhen. At this point, they voluntarily revealed the clues and planned to continue the investigation. Unexpectedly, their intimate actions were seen by Shen Ran, who immediately drove Lu Shi Yan away. As Lu Shi Yan sadly left, he encountered some assassins on the way and was attacked. Exhausted, he fell to the ground, but was suddenly rescued by another man in black. With the help of Zhuang Niang's cover, he temporarily escaped the crisis.
After seeing Lu Shi Yan leaving, Shen Ran became sad again. This time, she also began to feel sorry for her actions and realized that she had done something wrong. When she met her father, she planned to find the answers she was looking for from him. This time, their father did not blame them, but felt that the children had grown up and needed to make their own decisions. After hearing these words, Shen Ran understood something in her heart and went to Zhou Yushi alone to find some ointment for her father. While sitting down, she confided to the person next to her that she felt she had gone too far.
On the other side, Xun Niangzi and Su General deliberately followed Pang Hu and saw them secretly transporting weapons by the river. After hearing what they said, Su General realized that he had misunderstood the character of the eldest princess and felt ashamed of his failure. Xun Niangzi, who was beside him, comforted him after hearing what he said.
After obtaining the strip of cloth, Lu Shi Yan went to Man Niang and asked her to help read the words. Proficient in pharmacology, Fu Man discovered that the word written on it was "Chen." Lu Shi Yan, standing beside her, also understood that this was not a simple charge of treason.
