Yongan Dream Episode 9 Recap
> Yongan Dream Recap
Shen Ran gave Zhou Shu'an the rubbings of the paperweight found in Li Di's room. It was precisely because of these rubbings that they discovered the content of the secret letters. It turned out that Li Di knew about the problem with the timber. The reason he kept these letters well-preserved was to create a way out for himself, so that if someone ever caught him, he could claim there was a mastermind behind it.
Zhou Shu'an wanted to persuade Shen Ran to divorce as early as possible. Shen Ran knew Zhou Shu'an's intentions towards her. She confessed that she would do anything as long as Li Di could be brought to justice soon. Li Di was so cunning and full of schemes against their whole family; he deserved to die even if imprisoned. Zhao Chong invited Lu Shiyan for drinks. During the banquet, he again summoned Fu Man.
Fu Man deliberately pretended to cry and said that if Lu Shiyan didn't take her as a concubine, she would be married off to a seventy-year-old man. Lu Shiyan clearly knew Zhao Chong's intentions. Since Zhao Chong insisted on giving her to him, he feared that refusing would prevent him from gaining trust, so he had no choice but to take Fu Man back with him.
Originally, when Lu Shiyan arrived at Zhao Chong's residence, he wanted to get the Autumn Moon Painting back, but Zhao Chong did not give it to him. Instead, he found a painting of a Hundred Children and a Thousand Grandchildren to give to Lu Shiyan. When Lu Shiyan returned home, he did not bring back the Autumn Moon Painting.
When Shen Zhen saw Fu Man behind him, wearing a red veil, she immediately understood about seventy to eighty percent of what had happened. She deliberately pretended to make a scene with Lu Shiyan, smashing things loudly in the room. The attendants outside the door heard the clattering and smashing sounds and were too scared to breathe. Shen Zhen cursed continuously, while Lu Shiyan stood by meekly, trying all sorts of ways to coax her, but it was still useless.
Was there anyone in the world so afraid of his wife? Fu Man, however, felt that Shen Zhen had married into a good family. Shen Ran calculated that Li Di must have other evidence. Mrs. He hid a wooden box of gold. It was obvious the gold was someone else's bribe. Li Di always did things meticulously and would secretly keep records. Taking advantage of no one being around, Shen Ran returned to where Mrs. He used to live.
Unexpectedly, Li Di also started to suspect Shen Ran and sent his people to follow her. Upon hearing her route, he immediately followed closely behind. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. Zhou Shu'an heard his subordinate's report that Li Di was going to intercept Shen Ran in the room and immediately rushed to the location as well. Li Di pushed open the door and happened to see Shen Ran struggling to break free from Zhou Shu'an.
Zhou Shu'an, however, made no secret of his admiration for Shen Ran, even stating that if Li Di were to divorce her, he would immediately marry Shen Ran. Li Di's position was far below Zhou Shu'an's; how could he contend with him? Jealousy surged instantly, dispelling his suspicion towards Shen Ran. Lu Shiyan's subordinate reported that they now knew where Zhao Chong's timber warehouse by the river was located.
To investigate thoroughly, he needed to go out with a few people. Fu Man was still keeping an eye on things at home. Shen Zhen reassured Lu Shiyan, saying she would find a way to prevent Fu Man from leaking information. Early in the morning, someone beside Fu Man urged her to find out Lu Shiyan's background quickly, otherwise Zhao Chong would not let her off.
This person then gave Fu Man a bottle of medicine to find an opportunity to drug Lu Shiyan, so they could achieve their goal sooner. Fu Man went to pay her respects to Shen Zhen. Shen Zhen deliberately put on airs, telling Fu Man to minimize contact with Lu Shiyan, otherwise she would not go easy on her.
Fu Man obeyed while also looking for opportunities to go and pay her respects to Lu Shiyan, but she was blocked by Shen Zhen every time. An attendant secretly tripped Shen Zhen, causing her to sprain her ankle. Fu Man stepped forward, held Shen Zhen's foot, and with a gentle twist, reset Shen Zhen's ankle joint. Shen Zhen returned to her room and pondered. This Fu Man could make incense herself and was skilled in arts.
How could she be willing to become Zhao Chong's plaything? There must be something else going on. Lu Shiyan found the warehouse where Zhao Chong stored timber and set it on fire, burning it completely. Before setting the fire, Lu Shiyan discovered a secret list with Li Di's name on it.
