My Destined Consort Episode 5 Recap
> My Destined Consort Recap
Shen Jiangli exposed Su Ruian’s petty tricks on the spot. Enraged and humiliated, he warned Shen Jiangli not to be too arrogant, claiming that he was the imperial son-in-law. Lu Jingming stepped out and sternly rebuked Su Ruian, telling him not to be delusional—there hadn’t even been a wedding yet, so where did the title of imperial son-in-law come from? Lu Qingqing directly declared that she had nothing to do with Su Ruian.
With Su Ruian’s true colors revealed, Lu Jingming immediately ordered his men to take him away. Thankfully, Shen Jiangli uncovered Su Ruian’s true nature in time. Otherwise, if he had married Lu Qingqing, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Lu Qingqing’s mother was chilled to the bone after hearing everything. This was clearly a trap set by the First House, aiming to turn her daughter into a laughingstock.
Even so, she still didn’t have a favorable impression of Shen Jiangli, thinking that Lu Qingqing would only be more heartbroken after learning the truth. Wang Danling, with ill intent, went to stir things up again with Lu Qingqing. At that moment, Shen Jiangli arrived. She wanted to confront Danling and personally clarify the truth.
Five years ago, during a lantern festival at the market, Lu Qingqing desperately wanted to attend, but her mother kept a strict watch over her, so she couldn’t leave the house. Seeing Lu Qingqing so depressed, Shen Jiangli suggested that she put on her clothes and take her sedan chair out for a bit of fun. On the way, Danling was assaulted by a thug. Fortunately, the authorities arrived just in time, and Lu Qingqing’s chastity was preserved.
However, she suffered a head injury, leaving a scar. Shen Jiangli stood under the blazing sun waiting for Lu Qingqing to open the door. She waited for a very long time until she eventually collapsed from exhaustion. Lu Jingming carried the unconscious Shen Jiangli back to the courtyard and even sent someone to call for Lu Qingqing. After Shen Jiangli regained consciousness, Lu Jingming brought the thug over and told Lu Qingqing the truth.
It turned out that the entire situation had been orchestrated by Danling, who had incited the thug to attack Shen Jiangli, but due to a twist of fate, Lu Qingqing was the one who got hurt. Lu Qingqing didn’t believe it. The thug mentioned that the young madam’s maid, Hexiang, had been present at the time. But Hexiang had been missing for many years—where could she be found? Shen Jiangli vowed to find Hexiang at all costs.
Knowing that Hexiang was devastated because of the scar on her face, Shen Jiangli personally sought out medicinal herbs to carefully craft a healing salve that could remove dead tissue and regenerate skin. She spent a long time preparing it. Lu Jingming witnessed Shen Jiangli’s kindness and meticulous care, realizing that he had indeed misunderstood her five years ago.
Wanting to make amends, he ordered his men to buy pastries and deliver them to Shen Jiangli, but she had already lost hope and refused to accept his gesture. At last, Shen Jiangli found Hexiang. Poor Hexiang had once worked for Danling, but after learning too many secrets, her mistress had her rendered deaf and mute. Danling thought she had covered all traces, but she was wrong. Shen Jiangli sought out Danling’s former tutor, who knew some sign language.
Through a few gestures, they were able to easily understand what Hexiang wanted to say. Upon hearing of Shen Jiangli’s method, Danling turned pale with fright.
