A Splendid Match Episode 6

Riddles and prizes

JinZhao is glad she won back the paper weights and Ye Xian still hasn’t figured hers out. The prince is admiring a painting and JinZhao is pretty direct in her critique of it. Technically she thought it excellent but what it lacked was emotion. She changes her tune when she finds out Lord Chen painted it. The prince gets his painting and told YeXian must go back to the palace. It is then revealed he was the only one in the room that did not know the object was an abacus. He would not have found out had Chen not challenged the room. The nephew and mom are curious about why YanWen is barricaded in his room. He is told not to talk about it. When Chen goes back to his bamboo painting he plays back JinZhao’s words. He looks at the willow vase he won and considers how to put true feeling into painting. JinZhao and servant are at the double ninth festival. They run across a long bridge and climb a steep incline to get to the temple to pray from her gma. Ye Xian also heads for the temple, but his heart ailment acted up and he did not have meds. JinZhao and servant show up to use acupressure and he becomes conscious. He wants to know how she can be such a nag when so young.🤣😂 For once he is happy to see her. Servants show up with a chair to carry him down and he is advised to rest several days. The bridge is closed and JinZhao’s servant explores an alternate path. JinZhao went to find her and found herself in the middle of an ambush. There was an attempt to assassinate the crown prince. They suppressed the assassins and turns out the bait was a fake prince.She sees Chen in action and knows he was the assassin on the hill. She gets over her fear and lets him help her up. Her servant is home frantic that her alternate path was also barricaded and she could only keep going. She got a tally from the mom to gather people to find her. Daddy Gu always has to have something stupid to say that isn’t helpful. It goes back to Chen’s place and JinZhao begs that she saw and heard nothing. She is told to take the medicine but she fears poison and makes a good case for sparing her life. He leaves the room and asks how thing went with the prisoner. They figure out who it is and almost the why. Chen is asked why he tests JinZhao when she is one of them. His response same as always is he only knows for sure after testing them. He gives her the task to help settle Nie’s wife and daughter. She comes back and says her task is complete but that they need further help. He flat out says no and she angrily tells him she will handle things for them on her own. More of his infinite testing.🙄 I am grieved that such a brave man has such ingrate clan members. They know what he accomplished but keep him labeled a criminal so they can bully his wife and daughter and steal his estate. 😡 This was not a good place to have to stop.
