My Destined Consort Episode 1 Recap
> My Destined Consort Recap
The Lord of Dongzhou had been ill for a long time and showed no signs of recovery. The First Madam began leading all the family members in a prayer ritual. There were already many members in the household, and now that they had gathered again, everyone was talking at once, full of nitpicking and discontent. Just as the First Madam and the Second Madam were arguing, a coffin suddenly fell out of nowhere into the courtyard.
With someone already sick in the household, the sudden appearance of a coffin infuriated the First Madam even more. Shen Jiangli pushed open the main doors and slowly walked in. Over the years, she had been kept in the mausoleum, with no place in the family at all. The First Madam questioned Shen Jiangli about the meaning of her visit today. The First Madam was usually harsh and cruel.
In the past, a maid was nearly tortured to death just for eating a little food during a ritual. Fortunately, Shen Jiangli’s medical skills were superb and she managed to bring the nearly suffocated maid back to life.
Today, she came to expose the First Madam’s schemes—using the blessing ritual for the lord as a pretense to force twenty-seven women who had given birth to sons to kneel in the courtyard for seven days straight, all to steal good fortune for herself in conceiving a child. Shen Jiangli’s revelation shocked the First Madam, who immediately accused her of lying and trying to harm her on purpose. Truly, she wouldn’t give up until reaching the Yellow River.
Shen Jiangli exposed her again, revealing that the First Madam had been trying every method to conceive. She had secretly placed a statue of the Child-Giving Guanyin next to the statue of the Medicine God and even set up a formation around the courtyard. This formation was filled with strong masculine energy and, if used correctly, could indeed aid in conception. The servants quickly found the items used for the formation. This time, the First Madam had no defense.
Her wet nurse, trying to protect her, committed suicide to atone, hoping the lord would show mercy. Shen Jiangli helped the Second Madam take the First Madam down a peg, earning merit. The Second Madam directly suggested to the lord that Shen Jiangli stay the night. Shen Jiangli was thus able to remain. Lu Jingming asked her what made her decide to return this time. Shen Jiangli calmly replied that she hoped Lu Jingming could give her the Lei Pill.
The Lei Pill was extremely important to the Lu family. Lu Jingming asked who she intended to save, but Shen Jiangli didn’t answer. She proposed to make a trade with him in exchange. Returning to her old residence, she was overcome with emotion at the sight of its decline. She remembered how, five years ago, she was heavily pregnant and alone, close to giving birth, yet the First Madam remained indifferent.
With no other choice, Shen Jiangli braved the storm and crawled all the way to the Dingfeng Pavilion. There, a young master with excellent medical skills saved her and brought both mother and child back from the brink of death. Shen Jiangli was not someone who sought revenge for every grievance, but nearly dying left her with lingering resentment. She vowed to reclaim everything she had lost, especially from those who had repeatedly harmed her in the past.
