My Destined Consort Episode 8 Recap
> My Destined Consort Recap
Wang Danling married the eldest son of the Lu family, but she had long coveted Lu Jingming. She originally planned to find a way to have Lu Jingming for herself as well, but now that Shen Jiangli had returned from Guling, her dreams were shattered. Seeing that Lu Jingming seemed to have rekindled his feelings for Shen Jiangli, Wang Danling’s jealousy burned fiercely. She had never liked Shen Jiangli, and now she became even more nitpicky and hostile.
Shen Jiangli completely fell out with Wang Danling and questioned whether she had realized that she still had no children—it was karma. Wang Danling flushed with anger; her inability to bear children had always been a sore spot. Now that Shen Jiangli had touched on that pain, Wang Danling jumped into the river right in front of her. The maid behind her immediately screamed, claiming that Shen Jiangli had pushed the Madam into the river!
Shen Jiangli had seen scenes like this before—she quickly jumped in as well, pretending to save her. Since Wang Danling liked to act, Shen Jiangli would play along. Now that Shen Jiangli was also in the water, more and more people gathered. Wang Danling, crying pitifully, accused Shen Jiangli of pushing her in.
Shen Jiangli refused to back down and exposed Wang Danling’s scheme on the spot, questioning why she was out here late at night with only the two of them present. Lu Jingming rushed over upon hearing the commotion. Shen Jiangli told him everything truthfully, and this time, Lu Jingming firmly stood by his wife.
He told his elder brother that it was Wang Danling who had invited him out for a chat that night, and when Shen Jiangli discovered them, misunderstandings arose. However, based on Shen Jiangli’s character, she would never go so far as to push Wang Danling into the river. In fact, before Wang Danling married into the Lu family, she had already taken a liking to Lu Jingming.
But at that time, the Lu family’s legitimate son seemed more likely to secure the noble title. Lu Jingming had always treated her lukewarmly, while the eldest son was extremely attentive. So Wang Danling chose the Lu family’s eldest son. Now that Shen Jiangli and Lu Jingming were in complete agreement, even a fool could see the truth.
The legitimate son of the Lu family naturally had doubts, but because he coveted the power of Wang Danling’s father, he could only continue to play dumb and insist on standing by Wang Danling. Lu Qingqing saw that her second brother and sister-in-law were once again being wronged and humiliated.
Remembering how she herself had been deceived by Wang Danling for so many years, she stood up and told their parents that it was Wang Danling who caused her disfigurement and nearly cost her innocence in a lowly part of town. Wang Danling realized that Lu Qingqing was about to retaliate and once again put on a pitiful act, claiming she had been misled by Shen Jiangli and that she had always cared about Lu Qingqing and never harbored ill intentions.
But Lu Qingqing couldn’t stand her false sincerity anymore and immediately exposed her—five years ago, it was Wang Danling who sent thugs to disgrace Shen Jiangli, but by coincidence, it was Lu Qingqing who happened to be in Shen Jiangli’s carriage that day, which led to the disaster. All the evidence pointed to Wang Danling’s disgraceful conduct. Minister Wang was so ashamed that his face turned red, afraid that the Lu family would issue a divorce on the spot.
But the legitimate son of the Lu family had never truly liked Wang Danling. Even knowing all these truths, so what? He wasn’t foolish enough to give up the power and influence that came with the Wang family. Wang Danling, who had always been arrogant and domineering, now found herself betrayed from all sides. She grew increasingly flustered.
As she walked out of the courtyard, she saw the eldest son and Shen Qilan behaving intimately, as if they had known each other for a long time. Wang Danling sneaked into her husband’s study and discovered that Shen Qilan had written him many love letters over time. It seemed their secret affair had been going on for quite a while.
