A Splendid Match Episode 36

Family betrayal

Fu already has ammo since he was told Chen specifically sent away XuanQing. Fu has figured something big went down between them and his smile says it all. 😝XuanQing is performing opera and is going even more psycho. Yao has been investigating and they are making progress investigating the sect. The hand signals are a quiet giveaway that they now recognize. They have traced back the funding to a name but not the who. QingLan has joined the party of wanting info about Chunyuan sect. They are responsible for killing her mother. Chen is speculating about Fu not knowing the real culprit is the wife. XuanQing has gone all out seeking Fu’s assist to stay in the capital having no clue what his parentage will cost him. His hatred of Chen runs deep and that is something he and Fu have in common. XuanQing is being forced to impeach his uncle by perjuring himself before the emperor and court. They beat his poor servant and know about the murder and his parentage. He looks like a little king with his chest puffed out claiming vindication over YanYun. Too bad he isn’t even impressing the empty chair.😝 YanYun refuses to defend himself because he has to maintain the reputation of his wife and family. Fu is all smug and pleased with himself and that little twerp nephew kept one page of JinZhao’s letter as evidence. So that one page from her is how he wove his little tale of self delusion. He really has no clue that he has just kicked to the curb the only person on the planet that could have helped him. Chen’s guard has reached JinZhao and she is riding as fast as she can to get back. QingLan has already had a chat with her aunt about the Chunyuan sect. Too bad she missed the prayer session. She knows her aunt is lying and they quietly assess each other. QingLan is going to protect Ye Xian and Ms Fu is going to try to keep her niece quiet. Looks like lots of family laundry is going to be aired. I am very relieved that this is a shift of plans already in place. The emperor was quite angry with Fu’s manipulations and quite aware of the situation except for XuanQing's hatred when he promoted him. He now knows how to handle things while Chen is dealing with the charges. XuanQing has moved on to the Ji house and treating them like captives. He wants Chen to beg or he will reveal whatever secrets are between the Ji’s and YanYun. I am hoping JinZhao’s dagger is not still poisoned. It looked like the one Ye Xian gave her. That slight cut could still be trouble. Nice whip work from YanYun. That insolant brat needs whipped. Fu has him completely deluded not realizing he will be squashed like the cockroach he is once no longer useful. This is building up to the final showdown between Chen and Fu. It is turning into a no holds barred fight where the best strategist wins the court. It’s no wonder that Ms Fu treats QingLan like a daughter since she seems to be instrumental in having her mother killed by the sect. The fight between these two will be on a par with YanYun and XuanQing.
