Yongan Dream Episode 5 Recap
> Yongan Dream Recap
After Shen Ran knew the truth about her husband colluding with Xu Wei, she quickly began recalling all the clues before and after her father's case. To avoid alerting the enemy, she temporarily didn't expose Li Di's true face. The hateful Li Di still put on a facade of innocence and purity, constantly expressing his loyalty to Shen Ran. Previously, it was widely rumored in the city that many women had disappeared.
The only survivor, because she was forced, was in a daze all day, and the painter, based on her description, could not well represent the features of the culprit. Shen Zhen was staying at the Ministry of Justice, and this couldn't go on forever. She heard that Lu Shiyan never underestimated women and suggested that her female identity could bring certain convenience, proactively applying for the position of female sketch artist.
Then, she drew Lu Shiyan's portrait on the spot; her painting skills looked very proficient. Lu Shiyan really agreed to let her try. The victim, Ling'er, saw many bruises on Shen Zhen's wrists and realized she was also someone with a similar fate, so she quickly empathized and detailed the physical characteristics of the culprit one by one. The portrait was very realistic.
Finally seeing that Shen Zhen had some special skills, although Lu Shiyan didn't say anything aloud, he felt much more comfortable inside. Shen Ran now knew that Li Di was being disloyal and secretly framed her father and only sister. Suffering from a lack of evidence, she personally prepared a dose of poison, intending to make him suffer the consequences of his actions. However, Zhou Shu'an saw it during the process.
Zhou Shu'an immediately instructed her to be extremely careful when doing things, saying that with Xu Wei's current capabilities, he couldn't cause great waves, and to remember not to alert the enemy. After Zhou Shu'an's guidance, Shen Ran's heart became much clearer. Based on Shen Zhen's portrait, Lu Shiyan quickly found the culprit who abducted the civilian women, and thus, following the clues, found that the mastermind was actually Xu Wei!
Lu Shiyan severely interrogated the culprit and heard that Xu Wei had secretly ordered more people to be captured and sent to Wuzhou. To completely understand the reason, Lu Shiyan prepared to personally go to Wuzhou. Shen Zhen heard and was happy to go. Lu Shiyan agreed, but required Shen Zhen to keep the case clues absolutely secret, especially from Shen Ran. Hearing some things about her brother-in-law from Lu Shiyan, Shen Zhen was very shocked.
But just a few days ago, her uncle and aunt also turned ruthless, which made Shen Zhen deeply see through naivety. According to the information she had recently obtained - Lu Si was in Wuzhou. Now that Lu Shiyan happened to be going to Wuzhou to investigate a case, she could conveniently go find Lu Si and get the draft drawing. Preparing to go to Wuzhou, she would also visit her eldest sister.
Shen Zhen learned from Shen Ran that her brother-in-law was still very devoted to his family and considerate to her sister, so she felt relieved. Shen Zhen had never told her sister about the shady things her brother-in-law had done. The two sisters were united at heart, both thinking of the other, while Shen Ran deliberately pretended on the surface that she and her husband were as loving as ever; in reality, they had long since been estranged.
Not long after, Shen Ran truly discovered that her husband was having an affair outside and had already settled his mistress permanently nearby. Shen Ran almost lost her composure and really wanted to rush in and curse the adulterous pair, but Zhou Shu'an walked towards her, holding an umbrella. It turned out he also knew about these things Li Di had done and even advised Shen Ran that it was best to get a divorce.
Zhou Shu'an appeared several times at awkward moments, and Shen Ran mercilessly reminded him that he might as well save his energy and find out the truth about the collapse of the West City canal as soon as possible. From Lu Shiyan's servant, Shen Zhen learned that only someone who could be Lu Shiyan's 'inner room' could accompany him to Wuzhou.
To quickly win Lu Shiyan's favor, Shen Zhen ran to a courtesan house to learn some styles and techniques she thought men liked the most. Then, heavily made up, she showed off to Lu Shiyan. Seeing Shen Zhen's clumsy heavy makeup, Lu Shiyan could barely hold back his laughter. Later, it was because Shen Zhen frankly admitted she was worried that if Lu Shiyan left Chengyuan, no one would protect him, that she insisted on accompanying him.
This reason was indeed appropriate. Lu Shiyan finally agreed to take her with him. Shen Zhen returned to the side courtyard. Thinking that she was about to go to Wuzhou to find the drawing, she was so excited she couldn't contain herself and immediately exaggeratedly showed off to her maid, Qing Xi. Coincidentally, Lu Shiyan's mother, the long princess, happened to see it.
