The Road to Splendor Episode 24

Finally!

They are finally preparing for the wedding! FINALLY! 🥳The most valuable person in this episode was definitely Madam Xie. Not only did she find a way to get to court in time to protect her daughter, but she also acted against her husband's wishes — a man who didn't even know Tingyun's birthday to start with (no surprise there) — and gave Zhao Ling the parents' blessing to marry. 😌👏"What does "a parent's command" truly mean? It means I bless my children and wish them happiness, not that their happiness requires my permission." 🥹I already liked Tingzhou when they were still in Huaying, but now he showed that he had stood up against the Fu family in his own quiet way — by intentionally failing his exams because he didn't want to follow in his father's footsteps into officialdom or use the Fu family arches as his stepping stone. But he's still so bound by filial piety that he can't openly stand up against his father, because that would negatively affect the reputation of his wife and children. 😢 I am glad his wife heard his drunken mumbling and assured him she would rather choose a good man with strong principles than one with a successful career but low morals. 😌Madam Xie has raised two wonderful children who can tell right from wrong and see the real values of life... 🥹👏I am relieved Madam Wu didn't agree to go along with Yake's scheme, but what are she and Madam Yu planning now? Why do they want to involve the Empress Dowager in the whole Fu family drama? 🤨
