In the novel, the grandmother is a county princess of the imperial family. She has more appearances. She and Wei Shao work together to keep their family intact.
Ep.5: the wedding scene was impactful without going into melodrama. The weight of the past and its consequences…
Wei Shao keeps reminding himself about what the Qiao family had done to his family.
He forgot about his own happiness until he saw XQ on Day 1. But, he refused to give in. Until when he saw her getting shot with arrows and rushed to save her. Then, his heart began to rattle and his mind unsettled.
unsettled is a mild word- for someone so hardhearted , she caused major upheaval , albeit for a short time.. when…
When Wei Shao raised his cup of couple's wine and poured it in front of the tablets, Xiao Qiao gasped.
Will Wei Shao really exterminate the Qiao family if they help him to restore the canal? I don't think so because the entire world will not trust him anymore and he'll lose his allies and the Wei state will be nothing but a steak to be grabbed by the other two states, Bianzhou and Liangya who will form an alliance to counterattack the Wei state.
So, Xiao Qiao's decision to help Wei Shao to repair the canal is another trap on Wei Shao by his grandmothr. From the moment Xiao Qiao married into the Wei family, the Wei family had no reasons to exterminate her clan.
Lady Xu's move is brilliant. She just wants her grandson to live like a normal human being and concentrate on the big picture ie. a state with abundant food supplies for the people and fighting soldiers during the period is far more important than land expansion without these key factors.
Being married to him is a step closer to his mind, not heart.
Wei Shao is logical as he has so many loyal staff surrounding him. Xiao Qiao knows that the lives of ordinary people matters to him because he needs them to grow foods and repair structures while he expands his power.
That's why she proposed the repair of the canal in her speech to the people of Panyi.
Wei Shao begins to look up to Xiao Qiao as his woman because he needs someone who shares the same views with him to manage his household while he is away fighting against foreign aggression. He doesn't like women who are like his mother and cousin sister. His grandmother isn't one and Xiao Qiao isn't either.
Xiao Qiao basically made Wei Shao feeling unsettled about his decision not to marry her although the reality has shown he has to marry her to carry out his land expansion policy.
Yanzhou is already a steak on Wei Shao's plate. The question is when he will eat the entire steak.
Not as exciting as the previous first five episodes.
Episode 6 is rather boring.
Meanwhile his mother is silly most of the time.
Wei Shao is so vain!
The five men hid behind the rocks to eardrop the Qiao sisters' conversation.
The boys smiled knowingly when they heard XQ praising WS. They know their master likes XQ.
They always look lost when it comes to women's stuff.
He forgot about his own happiness until he saw XQ on Day 1. But, he refused to give in. Until when he saw her getting shot with arrows and rushed to save her. Then, his heart began to rattle and his mind unsettled.
Mr. Gongsun can tell WQ is in love.

Only those with a heart of steel can handle such response and start plotting the next move.
