The Story of Ming Lan Episode 20

Miniang Flees with Chang'er (the son)

SPOILERS AHEAD!This episode doesn't cover a lot of things, it really focuses on the aftermath of GTY facing the tragedy of his father's death, and more importantly, him confronting the sad reality that the woman he has come to love and fathered children with, is not who he thinks. His trust and love for Miniang is so great that Momo (nanny) had to gather actual evidence that Miniang was selling off bussinesses and building a nest of his assets. He witnesses her doing this. And so he sets forth a test: he tells her that he has been disinherited and is poor. And it is very sad because his heart just breaks, piece by piece, as she sells more things (she is unaware of his salt fortune) and then he learns her brother is alive. He confronts her about it, and with the evidence in his hand, she admits to selling things out of fear, but not about her brother. He gives her a chance, and says he will forgive her completely, if she tells him the hole truth. She doesn't, and so he essentially breaks up with her. In a sad twist, Miniang runs off in the night with their son(!)
