Yongan Dream Episode 3 Recap
> Yongan Dream Recap
Lu Shiyan searched the Marquis of Suning's residence and found the construction drawing. He called Shen Zhen over to ask if it was authentic. Thinking of how her father had poured his heart and soul into this drawing for two years, Shen Zhen couldn't help but shed tears. Driven by emotion, Shen Zhen's tears were understandable, but Lu Shiyan's chest hurt because of it. He immediately told Shen Zhen not to cry anymore.
Having discovered inside information from the Marquis of Suning's residence, Lu Shiyan immediately took the Marquis of Suning for intense interrogation. The Prefect Xu's original name was Xu Wei. The crime of forcibly seizing respectable women would be a scandal no matter who spoke of it. Lu Shiyan was certain the Empress would not plead for this kind of matter, so he had his subordinates give Xu Wei two lashes.
This Xu Wei was originally just a dissolute young man and couldn't withstand such punishment at all; he fainted after just two lashes. The Marquis of Suning claimed he had received several letters instructing him that obtaining the construction drawing would ensure the bank's endless flow of wealth, otherwise his family would be ruined. Driven by greed, the Marquis of Suning immediately acted according to the content of the letters.
Zhou Shu'an came to see Lu Shiyan and told him about Shen Wenqi being poisoned in prison. He reminded Lu Shiyan to be careful in every step from now on. The Emperor had now ordered Lu Shiyan and Zhou Shu'an to investigate the case together. Lu Shiyan felt it was best not to tell Shen Zhen about this matter for the time being, to spare her from grieving and crying, which would affect himself.
As soon as Shen Zhen cried, Lu Shiyan felt intense heartache. In Lu Shiyan's view, this was not a good thing. He ordered four or five female attendants to examine Shen Zhen to see if she was different from ordinary people. However, the female attendants reported that Shen Zhen had slender limbs, a good figure, and wide hips, suitable for childbearing. These words were overheard by Shen Zhen's maid, Qing Xi.
She misunderstood that Lu Shiyan was also a lecher and immediately reported it to her mistress. Shen Zhen was greatly alarmed, thinking that the dignified nine-foot tall Grand Justiciary would also be infatuated. Soon after, Lu Shiyan came straight over. Shen Zhen began to be doubly cautious. Lu Shiyan immediately explained that things were not as Shen Zhen imagined; he simply couldn't bear to see Shen Zhen cry.
If she wanted to quickly investigate the truth of the unjust case, he hoped Shen Zhen could resolve his problem. Hearing that Lu Shiyan would feel heartache whenever she cried, Shen Zhen was very surprised. She conducted an experiment on the spot and found that Lu Shiyan indeed clutched his chest and soon fainted to the ground. Shen Zhen chose to believe Lu Shiyan's words, but Qing Xi felt they needed to try again.
So, Shen Zhen brought more onions, peppers, and mustard. Although the smell was pungent and tears and snot flowed continuously, Lu Shiyan soon followed closely, begging Shen Zhen not to cry anymore. He vowed he would do everything possible to help clear Shen Wenqi's name. --- Late at night, Lu Shiyan dreamt again. Incense smoke curled around him, and he walked into it, hoping for a celestial being to guide him.
A celestial being with white hair and a childlike face enlightened him with "Lovesickness is bone-deep, medicine cannot cure. " After waking up, Lu Shiyan was completely bewildered. The woman he saw in his dream seemed to have been hurt because of him and suffered severe torture. It felt like he had wronged her greatly. But why did he always think of her in his dreams? Lu Shiyan still had no answer.
By dawn, Lu Shiyan went to see the sorceress again. The sorceress first advised Lu Shiyan that perhaps he handled too many cases on weekdays and was under too much pressure. But Lu Shiyan confessed that the woman in his dream was exactly the same as the one in reality, and whenever she shed tears, his heart would ache. The sorceress's expression changed dramatically.
She felt that Lu Shiyan and that woman had a karmic relationship in a past life, and she had come to collect a debt in this life. Lu Shiyan didn't believe it, but seeing the sorceress speak with conviction and even asking Shen Zhen to see her the next day, claiming she would help Lu Shiyan solve this urgent problem.
The sorceress instructed Lu Shiyan that after she helped him sever the karmic tie with Shen Zhen, the two would become strangers from then on. Lu Shiyan heard it clearly, but still brought Shen Zhen as agreed.
