Reforms of the salt administration

Yeah, I thought Tingyun might give Ling a hard time for making her worry about him for that long, without seeking her out. Yet, I expected it to last longer. But I am not complaining, really. I love them as the wholesome couple they always have been. 🥹🥰But in this episode, politics was what mostly took the stage. Ling has become the Emperor's blade in reforms for the salt administration, and already shows a way more ruthless side of him. I wonder if him kicking Mr Jin was an act to seed fear and respect in those other merchants, or did he really mean it? 😟🤔Madam and Lord Yu's conversation confused me a little. Previously, I suspected they already had some plans for or against Tingyun and Ling, but now I have doubts. However, despite that, they have declared them to be their enemies. 🫤And why was Lord Yu playing weiqi alone and talking? Was he alone or was there someone in the room we didn't see? He wouldn't have an imaginary/ghost friend, right? I have had way too many of those in C-dramas this summer. 🤨😒

They are back!

For some reason our MLs remind me of the parents of a main character, like the ones they show in flashbacks of the main character's memory. Zhao Ling is acting a bit crazy for me, the way he kicked his friend didn't sit right with me. He could have been a bit graceful about it. His apology to Ting Yun didn't cut it for me, he should have been on his knees begging her to forgive him, and Ting Yun gave in wayyyyyy too easily. I feel like she could have been more upset and also a bit happier when she forgave him. She seems very nonchalant now, and I personally wouldn't mind her being chalant.
