Because Ye Li blackmailed her to participate in her scheme. The stepmom was still having an affair with her ex, and Ye Li knows about it.

Ye Li mentioned that "She has calculated an interesting event. It would happen soon."

Then, upon learning about the fire at Prince Li mansion, she was shown visibly shaken.

I suspect these two events and Prince Li's disappearance has some sort of connection, about why she would look for MJL.

He mentioned it at the scene where he killed the guy that 'It's not time to expose this matter yet'.

His plan? Not revealed yet.

Yuan Fang is the good official who was killed in the earlier part of the story, who had the evidence about weapon smuggling case.

The 'Three Obediences' has been drilled into these girls' bones from a young age. So, they genuinely might not know any alternative aside from relying on their husbands. Divorce is basically out of option unless your husband grants you one. So, it really is a case of 'endure and make it work somehow'.

Also, like the other comment said, this type of issue still largely exists even today. With Ye Ying's character, it actually make sense imo.

Ep 18

The two side characters who have incredible vibe from the get go? I don't dare ship them... but I can't help but ship them!!! Both of them look so good together!

Better prep myself for a potential heartbreak down the line 😅

Most likely he set fire himself given how the events unfold.

Let the show cook. I don't think it'll be that much of a central plot.

So we've settled on 'Our'?? 🤣

The same way how MJL could tell it was Ye Li's handiwork in Lu Chang Fu case. Even though we don't like his delulu, we gotta give it to him.

And the foundation for how she could read all of his moves is so well-established as well. You just can't put a Mary Sue tag on her. lol

Oh, you'll be in for a treat if you are into jelous lover trope. MXY is even higher in that meter.

Ep 18

Help.... I'm melting here... 🫠🫠

These two are too much! ❤️❤️❤️

And creaking of the bed and chairs as well

Because it's an 'Asian' tree 😎

Maids are often named by their masters and mistresses based on their personal preferences, aesthetic themes, or literary references. Like seasons, flowers, gems, musical instruments, etc.

Oftentimes, you'll find that they are named similarly. It doesn't mean they are sisters.

To answer your question, Qing Yu was left behind in the Ye household. Only Qing Shuang accompanied Ye Li to Lishan Academy. So, Qing Yu wouldn't know anything either.

Yes. Only Ye Li knows what truly transpired there.

Ours indeed! ❤️

Ngl, Qing Shuang has grown on me. Even though her scenes are few, each of them are key moments and the actress accurately delivered them. And she's still so young, looking forward to her acting career going forward as well.

Lv Boying is more like a side quest imo. She made the grass dolls before she came down from the mountain, and she met Lv Boying afterwards.
