Fated Hearts Episode 34

The early scene between Feng Xi Yang and Xia Jing Shi

where she both scoffs at his threat to kill her and dismisses his offer to help her was impressive, showing just how far, "into the abyss" (her words) she has come since the start of all this. Later, at the end of the episode, she interferes in an interaction between Xia Jing Yan and Xia Jing Shi in a way that looks like she's trying to kill the latter, but really probably saved his life. This looks to me like she very carefully created another 'debt' that Jing Shi owes her, further making it more difficult for him to follow the Princess Dowager's demand that he kill her.
