* Burning the hut down only makes sense to fake a death - if Zhao Ling really did kill him, why not make it look like a suicide?
* We didn’t actually see him die, nor did we see a body burning in the flames. But I can totally see Zhao Ling scaring the crap out of him and making him believe he was going to die without actually killing him.
* Idk if any of you also caught this, but Zhao Ling never actually admitted pointblank to Tingyun that he did it. He went along with her assumptions, said that her dad committed “grave sins” etc., but he never actually said the words that he killed her dad. He was also very oddly detached that whole scene? There was that one brief moment at the table, though, when he looked sad or like he regretted something (i.e. letting her believe that her husband killed her dad).
* If Zhao Ling really did kill him he would so OBVIOUSLY have played into Mr. Yu’s hand. Why not fake her dad’s death instead and make Mr. Yu only believe that he had the upper hand?
* Would Zhao Ling really make it look like he was creating a faction just like that? Especially using the lapis lazuli beads? Not unless he had a guaranteed checkmate. Maybe the Emperor is in on the whole plan? I did find it suspicious that the Emperor was so quick to dismiss all of those errors in the account records, so I wondered if they had something up their sleeve. Maybe the Emperor gave ZL the bracelet as a way to enact this grand plan, whatever it is.
* Zhao Ling strategically turned her father against the Yu family that night at the hut by making him think he was betrayed by them. Makes sense to me for ZL to use that worthless pos against the Yus, as her dad was already kissing his a**.
I could be wrong, and I am totally open to being wrong. But I can also see this being a huge ploy. Maybe Tingyun is even in on it and playing along, although that seems a bit unlikely.
