Glory Episode 5

Accused of Theft

Episode with funny moment

Spoilers:

The men see LJL as a threat because he keeps shielding Cousin Wen whom they resent. They trump up charges of theft in an attempt to get LJL (Lu Jiang Lai) ousted from Rong Mansion, thwarted by RSB ( Rong Shanbao) of course and Mr Yan, who surprisingly steps in to help. Is Mr. Yan simply a principled lover of justice or does he have some sort of long-range strategy to steal RSB’s heart?

There’s a funny moment where LJL, after getting beaten up by the suitors, raises his hand to RSB hoping she will hold it and comfort him and help him to his feet. She almost reaches out to him, but gets distracted and leaves him hanging because Cousin Wen cries and moans in order to gain her attention.

We learn of LJL’s humble origins as a servant who rose to prominence in this episode. RSB learns that a funeral has been held for him. She resolves in her heart to keep him in her household longer so as to keep him safe and she ponders who schemed to have him killed.
