FL doesn't come across as the type to 'fall in love', she's a nurturer & would've been a good wife to anyone…
That's your opinion. As audience, we all can have our opinions. I just shared BaiLu's opinion. She feels different. She thinks Yeli was fascinated by Mo Xiu Yao, and was happy to marry to him, because she liked him since then.
What secret did Ye Li keep for the Father's new wife, I didn't understand why she helped Ye Li scare her father?
In 2 episodes before, it was shown Yeli's step mother meeting with a guy, whom she even gave gold. She was having an affair with him, maybe before marriage, or after. Yeli's sect brother/guard entered at that moment. So Yeli knows about that, hence.
I am going to talk about the fact that Mo Xiu Yao even kept the wrapper in which Yeli gave the pastry to him. He was that grateful. His only means of survival.
“But I’m a cripple.”I really like how Ye Li treats Mo Xiu Yao’s condition as something normal rather than…
Exactly. I remembered how Yeli got defensive in front of her younger brother who called MXY a cripple, and told him she would stuff that toad in his mouth. Haha.
