Hmm...poor Miss Wu. She 'bout to catch it. lol/smh

Why did Madam Yu agree to the deal? Was Madam Wu threatening her? (which seems like a bad idea). Or does she think her son will get his mind off of out FL.

Oh. Now that's interesting.

How sis Yake take the new addition? Did Madam Yu try to smooth it over or just tell her to suck it up buttercup.

That's not true. And, once again, "happiness" isn't the goal of political intrigue anyway. That comes after you win in the end.

Yeah. I'm not really into the "I just want happiness" series when it's political intrigue. I want ruthlessness and calculating, taking down the bad guys - you can keep a moral compass while doing so. I'll watch a slice of life if I want to watch someone pining for the "simple life".

I was not expecting Madam Wei to be a favorite character in the series. But here we are. She's great.

I also see why the Fu family had to rely on those chastity arches for standing and success. The men in that family are horrible.

No. And that wasn't my question. But I can see Madam Yu trying to smooth it over in some way and convince her, "No. This is really a good thing".

This series is giving "Give up all power and retire to the countryside (Ganlin)" vibes.

I recently finished three shorts that did the same thing.

At some point this year I'm gonna watch a political intrigue series where the leads want power, go after that power and keep that power.

I'm tired ya'll. lol

How's Yake taking to having a concubine in the crib? How did Madam Yu convince her of that one?

She's all bad. She's very good at being bad. She's smart and calculating, but make no mistake she's a Big Bad. I love the character but I'm not confused about the type of person she is. There's is no gray there.

She has no morality. Yake is the new Young Madam. She needs her to be stronger than what she is b/c she'd be in charge of the family once she passes.

What was with the silver she bought? I've just seen non-English clips so I have no idea what was said. lol

Exactly. Everyone is delulu here.

Here you go: https://x.com/24kaixin/status/2090241193993195847

I don't think it's odd she met him. She was originally bought there to marry him if I'm not mistaken. But overplayed her hand with the Orchid fragrance, unless you're talking about a meeting before she gets to the capital.

It's on twitter so finding it again is like finding a needle in a haystack. But if it pops up on my timeline again I'll link it.

GIrl has no power and Madam Yu is likely pissed at her b/c she ratted her out. Unless she can escape the household I'm thinking it's not looking to great for Miss Wu.

Oh she informed Madam Wei what was happening?

SMH. They just determined to make the couple suffer. Hopefully it's a fakeout of some sort.
