The Road to Splendor Episode 23

Rumours, truth and accusations

That was super satisfying to watch Madam Wei and Yake's clash! Coordinated or not, Tingyun, Miss Wu, and Madam Wei did well to save Miss Wu from that unwanted marriage. Well done! 👏And I just love Grand Secretary Tian. He's so funny, always bringing up his health issues and old age at the most convenient times. The Emperor used that very well to stall the decision on Zhao Ling and his post. 😅 "Wasn't I asleep just now? How did I help you? You were all making such a commotion. What were you arguing about?" 😂 (I don't care if he pretended or not, but this was definitely funny!)But I don't like what Fifth Master Fu is doing to his daughter and Zhao Ling, and actually to his whole family. Like locking his wife in her room so she wouldn't tell the truth in court? He's been mostly absent from family affairs for the last seven years "mourning" his mother and not even acknowledging his daughter, like ever, and yet he makes himself out to be such an authority figure. 😒😤And Yake, as a bitter woman who has finally learned she lost her husband's affection to Tingyun, of course revels in those rumours caused by the Fu family's old maid. 🙄

Hmmmmmmmmm

I love the way Zhao Ling looks at Ting Yun even when he is upset with her. Maybe it's because they are not married yet, but they are not showing amazing teamwork. Ting Yun going behind Zhao Ling's back was not okay for me. This incident reminded me of the first few encounters they had together, when Ting Yun betrayed Zhao Ling even when he made it clear that he did not want to hurt her. Eg. the catching of the hot tea cup. Anyways, coming back to this episode, Zhao Ling is always saying how he would not drag Ting Yun down but he forgets that they decided to do this TOGETHER!!! I don't know if it is lack of communication or understanding. Also, WHY ARE THEY NOT MARRIED YET??
