A Splendid Match Episode 21

Love’s first kiss and friends in all the right places

Wang had his Gma go to the Gu residence to force a proposal on JinZhao. Glad to know she keeps a dagger close just in case. After he had a dip in the pond, she made sure Chen noticed him. Chen invited himself over and then received a very tasty meal.😝😂 I am sure daddy Gu is wondering over his tastes since JinZhao knew it so well.😂🤣 He gets invited to stay the night and actually accepts. JinZhao is strolling by where he is staying believing he is in the guest room. She overhears her uncle and gma talking and now understands why her mom paid 20K taels of silver. It covered the uncle’s embezzlement of funds so her father couldn’t be implicated and lose his job. While they are plotting, her lantern gives her away and she’s almost caught by her uncle. Who she is caught by is Lord Chen. He is forward without being aggressive. Their first kiss is everything it should be. And for that to be her very first kiss….it is sigh worthy. 🫣🥰❤️ she is caught by her cousin leaving and the rumors fly. JinZhao has a very strong constitution because she still remains unconvinced Lord Chen is right for her and vice versa. She hears all the rumors Lian had her maid start except Wang Zan’s name was used instead of Lord Chen. The gma knows that their embezzlement secret is out and wants to keep everything quiet, but jealous granddaughter had other plans. When cornered in the fabric store, JinZhao accepts the challenge and is heading out to confront Wang with mean girls in tow. First his butler shows up to apologize and then a beat up Wang apologizes in person.😂🤣 when she looks up Ye Xian is smirking and looking pleased with himself. Chen handled it with the servant but in this moment, I’m wanting to hug Ye Xian for getting that lecherous creep beat up. This guy needed a lesson to discourage what he viewed as husbandly rights and duties. I love the friendship he and JinZhao have. JinZhao has heard of the drought conditions in Shanxi and the word gets to Chen. He has checked in on JinZhao to be sure she’s ok and let’s her know he will be away a few days. He asked about someone showing up to apologize for Wang and she finds out Chen had him for accepting a bribe. She didn’t comment that YeXian had him show up personally a little worse for the wear. 😝😂Lian comes in with a new hairpin all pleased with herself just in time for her gma to wallop her.😂🤣 That was as satisfying to watch as seeing Wang beat up. Chen has tried to dissuade his mother from believing or passing along gossip and I am really curious how her first meeting with JinZhao will go. Chen is full pressed pushing romance and can’t wait to see his next move to woo her.
