The Substitute Princess's Love Episode 8 Recap
> The Substitute Princess's Love Recap
Wen Ye was discussing with Madam Yun Ying the matter of Shen Keyi not returning all night. A Tao, ignoring the obstruction, knelt directly before Wen Ye, explaining that Shen Keyi was adopted by Madam Shen and had always been out of favor. This time, hearing Aunt Xin's veiled words, the Princess Consort was very likely to encounter misfortune. Wen Ye was extremely worried. He furiously stormed into the Prime Minister's mansion, demanding to see the Princess Consort.
Madam Shen said that Shen Keyi hadn't returned to the Prime Minister's mansion at all. Perhaps Prince Jin was too strict, and Shen Keyi might have been scared and dared not return. She then hypocritically advised Wen Ye to resolve spats and for husband and wife to be considerate of each other. Seeing that Shen Keyi was indeed not there, Wen Ye declared that if he found Prime Minister Shen to be deceitful, he would investigate to the end.
After Wen Ye left, Madam Shen realized time was pressing and again sent a message for Commander Zhang to act quickly and eliminate Shen Keyi. Zhou Yu realized it was Shen Keyi who deliberately set the fire, attracting the attention of the officials. He called Shen Keyi aside on the pretext of looking for food and asked her what her intentions were.
Shen Keyi clearly remembered Zhou Yu snatching back her purse in front of the jewelry store and just now sharing half a steamed bun with her, which showed Zhou Yu was not a bad person. Zhou Yu saw a jade pendant hanging from Shen Keyi's waist and wanted to take it for himself. Shen Keyi quickly explained that the jade pendant was a gift from her husband and was extremely precious to her.
If Zhou Yu returned the jade pendant and let her leave, any amount of money she needed would be no problem. Shen Keyi helped the bandits find many sweet potatoes. Zhou Yu greatly admired Shen Keyi's survival skills and said that even if no one came to redeem her, he would release her eventually. After speaking, he dropped a purse. Shen Keyi discovered it was something her wet nurse carried with her, so she questioned him carefully.
Zhou Yu replied that one day he saw an old woman on the roadside who was about to die, so he went to help. The old woman couldn't take another breath and gave him a purse before she died. Only then did Shen Keyi realize Madam Shen had been lying to her. She cried out loud and fainted from excessive grief. After Shen Keyi slightly woke up, Zhou Yu found many red rashes on her neck.
Immediately after, someone urged Zhou Yu to leave quickly. Zhou Yu came to the bandit encampment and found several people constantly vomiting. Uncle Dao believed Shen Keyi had poisoned them. Zhou Yu tested the well water with a silver needle and discovered the water had been poisoned. Shen Keyi had also drunk the water, so she was clearly not the poisoner. Commander Zhang brought guards and kidnapped Shen Keyi, claiming to be Prince Jin's subordinate.
He said that because the matter of Shen Keyi replacing the bride had been revealed, she was given poisoned wine by Prince Jin. Shen Keyi didn't believe him at all. If Wen Ye truly knew about her situation, he would definitely send Nan Bo or Guard Wan to investigate first. She asked some questions, but Commander Zhang could not answer.
He simply had the guards force Shen Keyi to take the medicine and casually took the jade pendant from her waist. Zhou Yu found the location where Shen Keyi was kidnapped in time and subdued the guards in a few moves. Commander Zhang took the opportunity to escape in the chaos. Zhou Yu advised Shen Keyi not to have any more expectations for Prince Jin, but Shen Keyi insisted that Prince Jin would definitely save her.
A Tao explained about Madam Shen sending poisoned Shu brocade and Shen Keyi deliberately catching a cold. Wen Ye then found Aunt Xin to interrogate her. Aunt Xin dared not conceal anything and revealed Madam Shen's series of arrangements regarding Shen Keyi. Thus, Wen Ye understood all of Shen Keyi's previous actions.
