Episode 4 recap: Shen Ran learned about her husband's true identity.
At this moment, Lu Shi Yan was pacing back and forth outside by himself, recalling the little things that had happened between him and the person inside the house. He also remembered what his mother-in-law had said, but this time he was determined to sever ties with the other party. Inside the house, his mother-in-law continued to talk to the woman next to her, mentioning things that had happened between them when they were young. After watching the other person leisurely walk out, Lu Shi Yan couldn't help but feel incredulous. He followed the people next to him into the house and listened to the nonsense his mother-in-law was spouting. Afterwards, he didn't bother arguing about the money issue and left.
To his surprise, Lu Shi Yan later got into a carriage with the person next to him and prepared to visit his father. After getting off the carriage, he learned from Zhou Yushi that the victim had been executed after autumn. He planned to discuss this matter in the house and didn't give a definite answer to the person next to him. After entering, Lu Shi Yan directly told the person next to him that he suspected someone pretended to be a commoner in the crowd, inciting public opinion to have the emperor execute the Shen family as soon as possible. They also discussed the situation of the switched drawings and began to think that the people they could involve with their connections were definitely not ordinary. Now the two of them started to cooperate and continue investigating the case together.
Just as Shen Zhen was leaving, she suddenly encountered her brother-in-law. After hearing what he said, she suddenly remembered that her father had given the sketch to another person. She hastily got on the carriage and left. Her brother-in-law followed and went to Zhou Yushi, thanking him for his support. Coincidentally, he also encountered his wife, who had broken her leg while dealing with the family affairs. After returning home, they prepared to help their father escape from prison.
Unexpectedly, when Shen Zhen was leaving, she suddenly encountered the person who had previously made advances at her. She was terrified and desperately slapped her own face, hoping that the person on the other side would come to her rescue. Lu Shi Yan, who was sitting in the carriage, sensed through his intuition that the person on the other side was in danger. He immediately rushed over and kicked the person out of the carriage, then covered them with his cloak.
Only two people came into view, and the person standing opposite them was prepared to deal with them on the spot. However, the people around were no match for Lu Shi Yan and were quickly defeated. But due to the large number of people surrounding them and the person next to Lu Shi Yan crying incessantly, Lu Shi Yan was overwhelmed and knocked to the ground while protecting the person next to him. Afterwards, he continued to work with the person next to him to drive away the attendant who was nearby.
After waking up, Shen Zhen learned about her uncle, who could help her father overturn his case. Upon seeing this, she hurriedly prepared to go, but Lu Shi Yan directly stopped her and was ready to personally handle the matter. Unexpectedly, Shen Ran's husband, who was on the side of the attendant, was quickly exposed, revealing his true identity. He continued to grovel and conspired with the person next to him, planning for Shen Zhen's demise.
After returning home, Shen Ran was restless due to the family affairs. At her husband's promotion banquet, she inadvertently learned about her sister's situation and immediately left the scene without any hesitation. She returned to the house alone, feeling depressed. Her husband, who was standing beside her, continued to drink with everyone for the sake of his own reputation. When he returned home, in a drunken state, he began to complain about his wife, blaming her for not giving him face and unhesitatingly voicing his grievances. Seeing her unfamiliar husband in front of her, Shen Ran felt a chill in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the actions taken by Shen Ran's husband in private were soon discovered by Zhou Yushi and Lu Shi Yan. They even sent people to continue monitoring him. The next day, Shen Ran personally went to visit her uncle and aunt and learned about her husband's deeds from their mouths.
