> Lady Revenger Returns From the Fire Recap
Shen Danqing told Shen Zishan she decided to marry Xu Chengfeng. Shen Zishan expressed that he would support all of Shen Danqing's decisions. He had long regarded Shen Danqing as family and would also prepare a dowry for her to have a grand wedding. The Shen family was Shen Danqing's backing and support, and he would always stand behind Shen Danqing. Shen Danqing was very grateful to Shen Zishan.
Shen Danqing came to bid farewell to Yinger, who was quietly leaving. She hoped Du Yinger would also regard her as Danqing in the future, Du Yinger's best friend. Du Yinger and Shen Danqing hugged, letting go of past grievances and remaining best friends. Xu Chengfeng personally wrote the betrothal gifts list. He also wrote a letter inviting Ge Lao to Liaocheng to be the officiant for his marriage to Shen Danqing.
Shen Danqing knew Xu Chengfeng was working hard preparing for the wedding ceremony and specially made Qizi Su by hand to reward Xu Chengfeng. Shen Danqing personally embroidered a belt to give to Xu Chengfeng. Xu Chengfeng also transferred all his land deeds and property to Shen Danqing. Both wanted to give each other the best things in the world and looked forward to a beautiful future life. Xu Chengfeng came to the Shen family to propose.
Shen Zishan warned Xu Chengfeng, stating that if he dared to treat his sister poorly, the entire Shen family would not let him off. Xu Chengfeng stated that he had transferred his entire fortune to Shen Danqing, had invited Ge Lao to officiate his wedding ceremony, and would publicly promise to be devoted to Shen Danqing. Lin Ge Lao came to Liaocheng to preside over the wedding ceremony as Xu Chengfeng's elder.
Lin Ge Lao had another important matter for this trip. It turned out that the plum wine Xu Chengfeng found had always failed to reveal the treasure map. Now that the developing liquid had been opened, the top priority was to confirm if there was an issue with the developing liquid or the treasure map.
After Shen Danqing learned of this, she decided to postpone the wedding ceremony and resolve the matter of the treasure map within the next half month. Shen Danqing examined the plum wine and confirmed that it was well-preserved and had no issues. Prince Yi came to the General's Mansion, bringing a gift of a qin and se (musical instruments) for the couple by order of the Emperor.
Prince Yi said that today was just a proxy gift, and he would bring a bigger surprise for them on the day of Xu Chengfeng's wedding ceremony. Shen Danqing worried that Prince Yi might tamper with the imperial gift, but she did not detect any abnormality. Shen Danqing ordered Tian Hao to find a musician to practice the qin and se music for the wedding day. Shen Danqing personally verified and found that the developing liquid had no problem.
Shen Zishan guessed the treasure map was fake. Xu Chengfeng guessed the real treasure map was still in Prince Yi's possession. Lin Ge Lao summoned Prince Yi and Xu Chengfeng and others, and publicly stated that the treasure map obtained from Zong Wei was fake. However, Prince Yi claimed that the treasure map had been swapped many years ago, and the person who swapped it was precisely someone from the Luo family.
Prince Yi stated that he discovered from Zong Wei's notes that Luo Jida had saved Zong Wei when he fainted, and he guessed that Luo Jida had replaced the treasure map during this period. Subsequently, Prince Yi further slandered Luo Ailian, accusing her of not hesitating to murder her father to snatch the treasure map. Xu Chengfeng stated that Luo Ailian had perished in the sea of fire and now there was no one to testify.
Prince Yi publicly accused Shen Danqing in court of being Luo Ailian. Subsequently, Luo Xueer unexpectedly appeared in court to identify Luo Ailian. It turned out that before this, Prince Yi had not ordered Luo Xueer killed, but had designed a plan for her to feign death. Luo Xueer accused Luo Ailian of killing her father Luo Jida and then colluding with Shen Zishan to change her appearance and become Shen Danqing.
To provoke Shen Danqing, Luo Xueer actually held a torch to stimulate Shen Danqing. Shen Danqing cut herself to endure the fear. Seeing that this plan failed, Luo Xueer proposed examining Shen Danqing's back for burn scars. But to Luo Xueer's surprise, there were no burn scars or tattoo marks on Shen Danqing's back. It turned out that before this, Shen Danqing had asked Doctor Miao for help to remove the tattoo and burn scars on her upper back.
This was also to prevent others from using them to harm the Shen family and Xu Chengfeng. Now, Luo Xueer's testimony could not stand. However, Prince Yi produced a restaurant transportation order that Luo Ailian had personally put her secret handprint on. Facing such evidence, Shen Danqing could only personally admit that she was Luo Ailian. However, Shen Danqing also stated that her father did not know Zong Wei at all, let alone steal the treasure map.
Shen Zishan also stated that he had changed her face out of selfishness when Luo Ailian was unconscious, and that matter was his responsibility. Xu Chengfeng also guaranteed on the spot that Luo Ailian would not steal the treasure map. But Prince Yi stated that Xu Chengfeng had already confirmed the wedding date with Shen Danqing, so his guarantee was useless. Prince Yi slandered that the treasure map was either in the Shen family or the General's Mansion.
Lin Ge Lao sent people to search, but unexpectedly found half of a treasure map in the General's Mansion side hall. It turned out that Prince Yi had secretly arranged for a musician to place half of the treasure map in the General's Mansion, thus successfully framing Xu Chengfeng. Lin Ge Lao verified that the searched treasure map was the real treasure map.
Although Xu Chengfeng explained that Prince Yi had bribed the musician to frame him, Prince Yi stated that the evidence was conclusive and asked Lin Ge Lao to handle the case as soon as possible. Lin Ge Lao, citing Xu Chengfeng, Shen Danqing, and Shen Zishan's involvement with the treasure map, ordered the imperial guards to arrest the three and imprison them for strict interrogation.
To protect the Shen siblings, Xu Chengfeng voluntarily admitted to stealing the treasure map and knowing the location of the other half. He pleaded with Ge Lao to spare the Shen siblings, stating that he would hand over the other half of the treasure map before the developing liquid expired. Xu Chengfeng also took the opportunity to tell Prince Yi that the developing liquid was only effective for half a month after opening and would be invalid after it expired. As the matter concerned the treasure map, for prudence, Lin Ge Lao imprisoned Xu Chengfeng, Shen Zishan, and Shen Danqing.
