whats the big secret that yang had over fl? also, is the magistrate/the official that came for the case good or…
We don’t know yet. The secret seems to be related to WanWan, the mentally-impaired Sixth Sister since he stole WanWan’s nanny-caretaker’s bracelet that said “Lan” on it. We don’t know if that magistrate (who was previously LJL’s assistant) is a good guy or bad guy yet.
Deranged Lu Jiang Lai meeting Green tea Lu Fu Sheng 🫢.
How is LJL deranged? As a magistrate, he’s cunning and arrogant, overzealous but with good intentions, determined to root out corruption and wrongdoing. He doesn’t seem deranged at all.
I still don’t understand the FL’s rationale for not telling him what his identity is. I can’t see any benefits…
She thinks that she is keeping him safe by withholding this information. But, admittedly, it was a pretty dumb move—odd for someone as smart as she is. Makes her look like she had something to hide. How will he trust her now?
In rewatching, I now see that old Madam Rong was still deliberating on whether or not to eliminate Yang and He. The decision wasn’t final at the end of ep 8. Apparently, she decided to keep them due to their long family histories, given Yang was at the Tea Ceremony (that final selection ceremony).
