Episode 22 recap: Yi Qin Wang falsely accused Xu Cheng Feng.
Shen Dan Qing decided to marry Xu Cheng Feng, and Shen Zi Shan stated that if Xu Cheng Feng treated her sister poorly, the entire Shen family would not let him off the hook. Xu Cheng Feng found Meizi Nian, but it couldn't reveal the route on the treasure map. Shen Dan Qing analyzed the ingredients of Meizi Nian, and both of them speculated that the treasure map might be fake.
Shen Dan Qing told Shen Zi Shan that she had decided to marry Xu Cheng Feng, and Shen Zi Shan expressed his support for all of Shen Dan Qing's decisions. He had already considered Shen Dan Qing as family and would prepare the dowry for her wedding so that she could leave in a splendid manner. The Shen family was Shen Dan Qing's support and confidence, and he would always stand behind her. Shen Dan Qing was very grateful to Shen Zi Shan.
Shen Dan Qing came to bid farewell to Ying Er, who left quietly. She hoped that in the future, Ying Er would consider her as a close friend, the best friend of Du Ying Er. Du Ying Er and Shen Dan Qing embraced each other, letting go of their past grievances and remaining the best of friends.
Xu Cheng Feng personally wrote a wedding letter and invited the elderly to come to the city of Luocheng to be witnesses for him and Shen Dan Qing. Shen Dan Qing knew that Xu Cheng Feng had worked hard to prepare for the wedding ceremony, so she personally made Chess Pastry to reward him.
Shen Dan Qing hand-embroidered a belt and gave it to Xu Cheng Feng, and Xu Cheng Feng transferred all his deeds and properties to Shen Dan Qing. Both of them wanted to give the best things in the world to each other and looked forward to a beautiful future together.
Xu Cheng Feng came to the Shen family to propose marriage, and Shen Zi Shan warned him that if he dared to treat his sister poorly, the entire Shen family would not let him off the hook. Xu Cheng Feng stated that he had transferred all his wealth to Shen Dan Qing and invited the elderly to preside over the wedding ceremony. He promised publicly to be faithful to Shen Dan Qing.
Elder Lin came to Luocheng to preside over the wedding ceremony on behalf of Xu Cheng Feng's elders. Elder Lin had another important matter to discuss. It turned out that the Meizi Nian that Xu Cheng Feng found couldn't reveal the treasure map. Now that the revealing solution had been opened, the urgent task was to determine if the revealing solution was the problem or if the treasure map itself was the problem.
After learning of this, Shen Dan Qing decided to postpone the wedding ceremony and focus on solving the issue with the treasure map within the next half month. Shen Dan Qing checked Meizi Nian and confirmed that it was well-preserved and had no problems. Yi Qin Wang came to the general's mansion on behalf of the emperor and brought musical instruments as a congratulatory gift for the couple. Yi Qin Wang stated that today's gift was just a representation, and on the day of Xu Cheng Feng's wedding ceremony, he would bring even bigger surprises for the couple.
Shen Dan Qing was worried that Yi Qin Wang had tampered with the imperial gift, but she didn't notice anything unusual. Shen Dan Qing instructed Tian Hao to find a musician and practice the music of the guqin and se for the wedding ceremony. Shen Dan Qing personally verified that the revealing solution had no problems, and Shen Zi Shan speculated that the treasure map was fake, while Xu Cheng Feng guessed that the real treasure map was still in Yi Qin Wang's hands.
Elder Lin summoned Yi Qin Wang, Xu Cheng Feng, and others, and publicly stated that the treasure map obtained from Zong Wei was fake, while Yi Qin Wang claimed that the treasure map had been switched years ago, and the person who switched it was Luo Ji Da. Yi Qin Wang discovered from Zong Wei's notes that Luo Ji Da had saved the unconscious Zong Wei, and he speculated that during that time, Luo Ji Da had replaced the treasure map.
Later, Yi Qin Wang falsely accused Luo Ai Lian of patricide in order to seize the treasure map. Xu Cheng Feng stated that Luo Ai Lian had already perished in a sea of fire and there was no evidence of her existence. Yi Qin Wang accused Shen Dan Qing in court of being Luo Ai Lian, and then Luo Xue Er unexpectedly appeared in court and identified Shen Dan Qing as Luo Ai Lian.
It turned out that prior to this, Yi Qin Wang did not order anyone to kill Luo Xue Er but instead orchestrated her fake death. Luo Xue Er claimed that after Luo Ai Lian killed her father, Luo Ji Da, she conspired with Shen Zi Shan and changed her identity to become Shen Dan Qing.
To provoke Shen Dan Qing, Luo Xue Er even held a torch and taunted her. Shen Dan Qing cut herself and endured the fear. Seeing that the plan failed, Luo Xue Er proposed to examine the burn marks on Shen Dan Qing's back.
However, to Luo Xue Er's surprise, there were no burn marks or tattoos on Shen Dan Qing's back. It turned out that prior to this, Shen Dan Qing had asked Miao Shen Yi to help remove the tattoo and burn marks from her back to prevent others from using them to harm the Shen family and Xu Cheng Feng.
Now that Luo Xue Er's testimony was unfounded, Yi Qin Wang presented a transportation receipt from a restaurant where Luo Ai Lian had left her handprint. Faced with this evidence, Shen Dan Qing had no choice but to admit that she was indeed Luo Ai Lian.
However, Shen Dan Qing also stated that her father never knew Zong Wei and never stole the treasure map. Shen Zi Shan also admitted that he took advantage of Luo Ai Lian's unconsciousness and changed faces at the scene, taking responsibility for the matter.
Xu Cheng Feng also vouched for Luo Ai Lian, stating that she would not steal the treasure map. But Yi Qin Wang argued that Xu Cheng Feng had already confirmed his wedding date with Shen Dan Qing, making his guarantee useless. Yi Qin Wang accused the treasure map of being either in the Shen family or the general's mansion. Elder Lin ordered an investigation and unexpectedly discovered half of the treasure map in a side hall of the general's mansion.
It turned out that Yi Qin Wang secretly arranged for a musician to place half of the treasure map in the general's mansion, successfully framing Xu Cheng Feng. Elder Lin verified that the treasure map found during the search was genuine. Although Xu Cheng Feng explained that Yi Qin Wang had bribed the musician to frame him, Yi Qin Wang claimed to have irrefutable evidence, urging Elder Lin to deal with the case quickly.
Elder Lin implicated Xu Cheng Feng, Shen Dan Qing, and Shen Zi Shan in the treasure map case and ordered the imperial guards to imprison the three of them and conduct a rigorous interrogation. In order to protect the Shen siblings, Xu Cheng Feng voluntarily confessed to stealing the treasure map and knowing the whereabouts of the other half. He pleaded with Elder Lin to spare the Shen siblings, promising to hand over the other half of the treasure map before the revealing solution expired.
Xu Cheng Feng also took the opportunity to inform Yi Qin Wang that the revealing solution had a shelf life of only half a month after being opened. After it expired, it would become ineffective. Concerning the treasure map, for caution's sake, Elder Lin imprisoned Xu Cheng Feng, Shen Zi Shan, and Shen Dan Qing.
