Yongan Dream Episode 1 Recap
> Yongan Dream Recap
In the Minister's Residence, what people most relish talking about are Shen Wenqi's two precious daughters, one is intelligent and resourceful, the other is lively and clever. Both young ladies are extraordinary. The younger sister, Shen Zhen, saw that even after marrying, her older sister still managed the pharmacy business in a very orderly manner. She admired her sister's ability to manage the pharmacy and was ashamed that she knew nothing.
But Shen Ran encouraged her to be herself, saying that as long as the older sister is capable, the younger sister can naturally rest easy without worry. In the misty rain, Shen Zhen came to the courtyard and saw the camellias blooming beautifully. Worried that the buds would be disturbed by raindrops, she immediately used the umbrella in her hand to shield them. Her father was again bent over his desk designing blueprints.
This time, her father pioneered the "huo dilong". Shen Zhen looked at her father's design with delight. Her father was just talking about having prepared a birthday gift for Shen Zhen when suddenly there was a commotion outside the gate. Lu Shiyan led a group of people and stormed in.
Lu Shiyan read out a memorial, stating that Shen Zhen's father's designed Western City Canal had collapsed, causing serious casualties, and he was now to be arrested and brought to justice for severe interrogation. Shen Wenqi was very surprised. The blueprint was designed by his own hands and construction only began after several experiments; there shouldn't have been any errors. However, challenging a royal decree was difficult. As Shen Wenqi left, he secretly placed a token in Shen Zhen's hand.
Her father was taken away, and Shen Zhen spent the night trying to figure things out. Seeing the token, she thought it might be related to the Western City Canal. Thinking of this, Shen Zhen immediately went to the Li residence to find her older sister. However, her older sister's mother-in-law feared getting into trouble and immediately locked the gate tightly, not allowing Shen Ran to step out.
Lu Shiyan was attacked in a dream last night and his chest still ached faintly upon waking. He received a task late at night and went out. The place where he was carrying out his duty happened to be the Minister's Residence. Seeing the second young lady of the Minister's Residence, teary-eyed like a pear blossom laden with rain, a feeling of compassion arose spontaneously within him.
As he was taking Shen Wenqi away, his eyes happened to meet Shen Zhen's. Lu Shiyan felt a sharp pain in his chest and immediately fainted on the ground. After waking up, he consulted many doctors, but none could diagnose the problem. After some consultations, some even concluded it was a heart problem, which left Lu Shiyan quite speechless.
The next day, Censor Zhou came to see Lu Shiyan, stating that the emperor had handed over the Western City Canal case to them for investigation. Lu Shiyan found this very strange. Yesterday, he had carefully examined the blueprint of the Western City Canal personally drawn by Shen Wenqi and found nothing inappropriate. However, the construction drawing had vanished without a trace. It was indeed bizarre how the collapse accident could have happened later.
But now that the emperor had assigned Censor Zhou to handle the investigation, Lu Shiyan naturally could not say anything further. The next day, Shen Zhen went to consult her aunt. She overheard her uncle urging her aunt to marry her off. In ordinary times, when Shen Wenqi had not yet met with misfortune, the other party had proposed marriage but was rejected. Now, seeing that the Minister's Residence had just fallen into trouble, they began to become aggressive again.
Shen Zhen knew her aunt was easily influenced. She started desperately trying to come up with a plan, asking her aunt to take her to the market to eat noodles. Unable to resist Shen Zhen's pleading, her aunt finally agreed. Shen Zhen deliberately asked about her father's case in the noodle shop. Her aunt looked nervous and reminded her that there were many eyes and ears here, and it was not convenient to say more.
But Shen Zhen saw that Lu Shiyan happened to be there eating noodles too, so she decided to ask Lu Shiyan about the case progress. Then she pushed her aunt forward and, taking advantage of the moment when everyone was unprepared, immediately left with her maid. Shen Zhen went to the treasury, and following the number on the key her father gave her, she found a wooden box.
She was carefully holding it in her arms, preparing to open it, when suddenly Lu Shiyan stood directly in front of her, reminding Shen Zhen that she should not conceal evidence. Then he began to snatch the wooden box. During the struggle, the box fell to the ground with a crisp sound. She had originally thought her father would leave her some evidence. Who knew it turned out to be a letter handwritten by her mother?
Having lost her mother many years ago, Shen Zhen would always receive a letter from her mother on her birthday. This time, her father had also put the jade bracelet her mother gave her into the wooden box, but sadly it was broken in the fall. Picking up the fragments of the jade bracelet, Shen Zhen's eyes turned red. Lu Shiyan gave her the jade pendant personally bestowed by the emperor as compensation. Shen Zhen flatly refused.
Every time she saw Lu Shiyan, something bad would happen. Shen Zhen was so angry that tears streamed down her face. Shen Ran arrived shortly after and took Shen Zhen away. Lu Shiyan happened to see the jade pendant Shen Zhen was wearing. It was exactly the same as the one worn by the assassin who attacked him in his dream! Lu Shiyan couldn't help but wonder if Shen Zhen was the person causing his recurring heart problems.
Not far away, Shen Zhen couldn't help but sob to her older sister. Hearing her crying, Lu Shiyan's chest ached again, and he fell to the ground. Today was Shen Zhen's birthday. Her older sister, Shen Ran, made her longevity noodles and comforted Shen Zhen, telling her not to be sad. At least she still had her older sister at home. As long as their father's design blueprint was correct, they only needed to find evidence.
