The unmitigated gall of the grandmother to ask Qiu Yan to lead the Qiu women to live on like all those women didn't come together like the avengers to get this girl buried with a man she just MET. Marry her off to an elderly man so they or their children wouldn't be affected. Her mother even wanted to sacrifice her so her brother could benefit. Another one gave an embroidered item with Yan on it to another man in order to destroy her relationship. The icing on the cake is her sister never defends her and always tries to belittle her.
If I was Qiu Yan I wouldn't lead them anywhere but towards more work. I wholeheartedly believe in personal karma. Qiu Yan has suffered enough. She needs to live by what she told her mother. I never liked that whole family is family motto or don't cut off family concept. She owes her family NOTHING! especially those women.
The true villain of this show is the Emperor because who brings back a CORRUPT official! He not only brought him back but he gave him equal power wth. Does that even make sense? And who banishes a family to get their way, obviously he had a reason for suggesting you not build the temple. Like my guy.
It really be moments like this that I wish Liang Yi did not stop the coup against the Emperor. The Emperor is going to land this Empire in pure chaos. Or honestly cause it to be easily invaded. Liang Yi was literally trying to prevent that but here goes the ever so helpful Yuan Lang to destroy everything. Like an unsupervised toddler.
One thing you can always count on Qiu men to do is be incompetent, selfish and a disappointment. Actually the whole family at this point, the aunts playing the blame game, when from the looks of it only the second chamber was providing income to support the entire family. Then there's Qiu Min who claims to be looking out for Qin Xuan's best interest but let's face it. QM is the type of girl that would ruin other's happiness because she is unhappy or wouldn't benefit.
Not really feeling the FL's dad, that lil manipulation tactic he pulled with Lord Liang definitely wasn't feeling that. And the SML never sides with her but gets jealous when Liang Yi does. Boy if you don't sit down somewhere with crybaby Qiu Min.
It turned out that 2nd chamber's secret is from the wife. I hope there's no illegitimate daughter (esp Qiu Yan)…
Somehow I think the secret is even bigger than that. I think the granny would have kicked her out just like she tried to do the third aunt. The grandmother wouldn't have covered it imo.
