Ahh I thought their moms were the Rong cause they use matrilineal surname and it’s the woman who’s in charge…
Grandma is a Rong, she’s in charge until she hands the business to a heir, currently it’s Shan Bao. Men married into Rong family and their children take on the Rong family name
There’re 2 types of cousins.
Tang cousins: Tang jie (elder) or Tang Mei (younger) It means their fathers are sibling.
Biao cousins: Biao Jie (elder) Biao Mei (younger) It means they’re related on their mothers side
All the cousins are Tang here so they’re related on the father side Except Shen who is a Biao cousin. As her mother is a Rong sibling.
Yes the women are in charge, that’s why you don’t see the men here running the business.
Example Shan Chang, he’s not given a position of any importance
Shan Bao mentioned that her father and 2nd uncle went into becoming officials since they’re not in charge of business and 3rd uncle passed away.
In one of the trailer we see that he is bloody in a room with RSB and he force a hug on her and she try to get…
I’ve got a feeling that Yan has an inner beast that might come out later. As Shan Bao said, staying Rong household can corrupt a good person. That’s why she warned LJL to stay away and be friends. Cousin. Wan Can had already turned dark. Yan noticed that too. Maybe that’s foreshadowing for what’s to come for himself. In a harem situation, they’ve already shown that they’d resort to any means necessary to gain favors and power.
LJL is also heading that way if that’s his goal. He’s saved by having his memory back. He’s got a different identity and purpose so he won’t be corrupted that way.
The Rong siblings /cousins relationshipGrandma Rong: 3 sons and 1 daughter1st son/ 1st branch:Main wife’s children:…
Shan Bao mentioned that her cousins have different grandpas 🤫🤣 Grandma Rong got different husbands at different times since I think she couldn’t marry all of them as the same time. Since the law allowed men to have multiple but not women Or maybe only one husband, others were on the side without a title or position? 😉😬
Are all the sisters biologically related? Maybe I missed it but it didn't seem like they explained the relationships?
Grandma Rong: 3 sons and 1 daughter 1st son/ 1st branch: Main wife’s children: 1st Miss Shan Bao, 4th Miss Yun Ying, 6th Miss Yun Wan (siblings) Concubine’s children: 1st Young master Shan Chang, 3rd Miss Yun E (half siblings to FL)
2nd son/ branch: 2nd Miss Yun Xi (cousin to FL)
3rd son/branch: maid’s daughter 5th Miss Yun Shu (cousin to FL)
Daughter’s daughter: married out, Shen Xiang Lin (cousin to FL)
That’s my guess as well. Madame Liang is Yang. I think that bracket belongs to her, one of her name character is Lan which means orchid. Hmmm very similar to Liang?
She thinks that she is keeping him safe by withholding this information. But, admittedly, it was a pretty dumb…
She does have something to hide. That’s why she suspected LJL was faking it first and came into Rong household to investigate the missing Yang case. I think her mother did hide the Yang lady at her house.
