The Trust Episode 21 Recap
> The Trust Recap
Wu Du has been serving Xiao Jinyun since childhood and naturally understands his temperament and character the most. Today, even if he has to die, he must know Xiao Jinyun's whereabouts, otherwise he will die with him. Xiao Jinyun was quite helpless when Wu Du caught him, and sternly asked him if he couldn't really see that he was the real lord of the city. Wu Du obviously didn't want to believe this absurd statement, but Xiao Jinyun recounted Wu Du's experiences in a clear and concise manner. Then, Xiao Jinyun told Wu Du about the plan to switch their bodies by adjusting the water.
Xu Yu realized that Wu Du had drugged her and immediately asked about his whereabouts upon waking up. Wu Du still didn't believe Xiao Jinyun's words until he mentioned helping solve the case, which was impossible to fabricate. Wu Du was shocked and begged for forgiveness while still holding onto Xiao Jinyun. Bao Jian approached and asked if he was the lord of the city, then what about his wife?
Xiao Jinyun and Wu Du disappeared, and Xu Yu was very anxious. It wasn't until Xiao Jinyun returned with Wu Du and Bao Jian, along with poison, indicating that they already knew about the identity swap and must kill each other for the sake of the country. Xu Yu wanted to stop them, but Xiao Jinyun had an uncompromising attitude, leaving Xu Yu very saddened. So many people knew about it, why did they have to be executed? Bao Jian had already kowtowed to Xu Yu, saying that in the next life, she would accompany her to the battlefield and play with her, then drank the poisoned wine. Wu Du also drank the poison, and Xu Yu was in pain and hated Xiao Jinyun even more. Xiao Jinyun wanted to explain that he also regarded Wu Du as his own, but Xu Yu couldn't listen and drove him away.
Xu Yu woke up from a nightmare, only to find Wu Du and Bao Jian standing alive and well beside her. Xiao Jinyun would never harm them, it was just an extreme measure in extreme times, and they were both wholeheartedly on board with the plan. Xu's father sent a document, hoping that Xu Yu could come home for a visit, and Xiao Jinyun immediately agreed to go on her behalf. Xu's second brother was waiting outside the door, and when he saw Xiao Jinyun, he hurried to greet him. Xu's father and elder brother were both practicing military drills, so only Xu's second brother was at home. When Xu's second brother heard from Xiao Jinyun that Xu Yu had been bullied in the harem, he wanted him to rest and recover at home for a few days. He regretted not marrying Xu Yu to Xiao Jinyun earlier. When Xiao Jinyun heard this, he put down his cup with more force and quickly stopped Xu's second brother from saying more. Such words should never be mentioned again, otherwise they would only harm him.
Recently, Xu Yu has been calling Xiao Jinle by his nickname, which made Xiao Jinle feel strange because only Xu Yu knew about it. Xu Yu quickly explained that it was something she was told by the lady of the house. However, Xiao Jinle sensed that something was not right through her subconscious movements, so they went behind closed doors to talk things out. Just then, Xiao Jinyun came looking for Xu Yu and overheard their conversation. He became even more jealous and quickly went inside to tell Xiao Jinle that the Queen treats him exceptionally well, even kissing Xu Yu in front of him. Seeing this, Xiao Jinle awkwardly left, and Xu Yu became angry and questioned him as to why he didn't tell her the truth about Wu Du and Bao Jian. She didn't like living in a world of suspicion and planned to take Bao Jian to conquer the battlefield once she regains her identity. Despite being good at suspicion, Xiao Jinyun never doubted Xu Yu before and sincerely apologized, and Xu Yu couldn't stay angry after that.
Xu Youran prepared to exchange bodies, on the condition that Xiao Jinyun and Xu Yu have intimate contact. Concubine Tao brought some snacks she made for Pei Xinzhu, who has made progress in her culinary skills under Bao Jian's guidance. Tao advised her to focus on writing rather than being jealous.
A few days later, Xu Youran went to pay respects to the Mother Queen, who asked him to try the pastries made by Concubine Tao and urged him to expand his knowledge. Duke Hengshan was going to visit the Queen, reporting that Concubine Qin had succeeded in her mission. When Xiao Jinyun received the news, he rushed to the study and found Xu Youran sitting on the ground like a fool. In Xu Youran's eyes, these people appeared as dwarfs. Xiao Jinyun quickly called for a physician, while Duke Hengshan was present. Xiao Jinyun hurried him to leave. The physician said Xu Youran's symptoms were like poisoning and immediately sent for Jiang Tang to come from the northern border.
