Ep 12: 🦚sure has a smooth/wrinkle free, young looking neck, under that mask... just sayin'...
Isn’t it 2nd Prince from NanZhou? He got into the office. He spent a lot of time there. He deliberately misled Chu Chu during the autopsy of the monk. At first he opposed to it.
And he defended ML and Jin when they were being reprimanded by the emperor regarding the visits to brothels. Trying too hard to be a good guy. 😬😉 Reminded me of someone from Glory. 🤫 YBL
I don't know if I missed it but did Bao ever find out he destroyed the letter?
She didn’t get the letter and she went to the capital after him anyway 😉 poor steward Cheng knew her intention and had to carry his treasures. Do I feel sorry for him? Not one bit 🤣🤣🤣
I don't understand why she didn't reveal the true culprit. There is no justification for the wife to kill Jianglai's…
I think there are pros and cons either way. Watching while airing made me impatient waiting for new Ep especially the ones with cliffhanger. I also binged the last 6 Ep, I would not go to bed without knowing what happened to LJL and how they ended 😂😬

It was wrong to commit murder period. The sister in law had been planting this virtuous abused wife persona for years. She’s the one who got the concubine for the brother. Not that the hubby was innocent. Both the Duke and son abused the women in the household. Just like Wei KeJian, he was innocent of killing his wife, but he’s guilty of abuse and almost killed her. These women couldn’t protect themselves. Yang chose to run away and hide. In the sister in law’s case, she has children and did what she thought she could to protect them. If LJL didn’t come along and became a threat to take away Duke’s title, she would let the hubby die a slow death with the poisoned coals. But LJL’s article forced her hands. She tried to assassinate him and failed. So she had the other women kill the husband and framed LJL so her son would be the only heir to the Duke’s title.

That and they didn’t have any evidence against her. None of the other culprits admitted to or shared any connections to her. Most importantly, LJL asked RSB not to share it. When LJL hugged RSB and mentioned that his brother apologized, RSB started to talk about the sister in law. LJL said not to talk about it. He knew she did it too. I think they both wanted to protect the children. They lost their father, what would happen to them if they lost their mom. Yes by law, she should have been convicted.
I already watched Glory, so nothing is a spoiler anymore.Besides some good changes in her sisters, I cant recall…
I’d say the biggest character development would be RSB and LJL. Some people said the RSB was the same cold and calculating, fiercely independent only cared about Rong tea business. But she let LJL in, fell in love with him. Also went to the capital for him, (she actually left the plantation for her sisters to tend to )supported him through his vulnerable times. She didn’t a wouldn’t have done that for anyone else. The sisters and cousins development would not have happened so the influence from LJL on how RSB treated her family. Which also ultimately led to RSB standing up to grandma.
LJL remains the badass investigator fighting and upholding justice. But he also changed because of RSB, allowing her to see his worst moments. He’s always been on his own person, but now he wanted to have RSB with him. So he didn’t give up anything to be with her. He never wanted the Duke’s title and cray cray family anyway. They’re so well matched. 💕🥰👍
The main reason the wife masterminded the brother’s death is to have her son become the heir.She attempted to…
Yes sister in law adopted the sister’s child to pull her to her side. Also the sister hated father and brother for getting her first husband killed, taking away her baby and making her married another man. She did it for her own revenge as well as securing a future for her daughter.
He deliberately misled Chu Chu during the autopsy of the monk. At first he opposed to it.
And he defended ML and Jin when they were being reprimanded by the emperor regarding the visits to brothels.
