So we can gather WY is a grey character, wld not harm either WS, his grandmom or innocent ppl ( since he didn't…
Agreed with everything.
One thing about Lady Yu is she's so self absorbed in her own Empress prophecy thing. So, I don't think she has an ounce of affection for anyone but for the power and glory.
can anyone enlighten me—why would the Bianzhou lady (Wei Shao's ex) cancel her engagement with Wei Shao because…
She turned on her mental calculator and chose the most prospective option at that moment. Wei family was almost wiped out, so definitely not the most promising option for her. She's just very power hungry.
Also, engagement was with Wei Shao's brother I think.
why is she surprised he is reading her letters? that should have been expected after she sent a letter to put…

The degree of observing mourning period can also vary according to how much closer they are in the family tree.

We are already seeing this tedency toward his wife in the drama now. So, high chance it'll stay that way. xD
In the end, Qiao family got their redemption arc, and Wei Shao came to term with past grudges and accepted the Qiao family.
