Li Cong Xin is becoming a nuisance—he won't take no for an answer—and it is clear that the matrons of the Xie household are constantly scheming. The Shen brothers will soon swing into action.

Bueno, está claro que a la familia Lin el karma le ha llegado por su mala conducta hace años, porque dejaron tirada al suelo de los caballos a la primera prometida (Shen Jia La/Xu Lan Xiang). Les salió mal con la nieta Zhao, todos sabemos el porqué, y ahora con esta nueva futura esposa, ya comete atrocidades antes de entrar en la casa; ¿ qué sería capaz de hacer una vez convertida en esposa? Definitivamente, la madre de Lin Yi Qi no sabe elegir esposa desde que falló a la familia Shen. Ahora entiendo, por el apresuramiento de pedir decreto de matrimonio imperial por parte de nuestro protagonista, no le va a sentar bien a ella, pero lo hará para protegerla de estos gañanes de la corte llenos de ambición y poder, y de hijas igual de ambiciosas y celosas antes de tiempo.

Well, it’s clear that karma has caught up with the Lin family for their past misconduct—after all, they callously cast aside their first intended bride (Shen Jia La/Xu Lan Xiang). Things went wrong with the Zhao granddaughter—we all know why—and now, with this new prospective wife, she’s already committing atrocities before even entering the household; just imagine what she’d be capable of once she actually became his wife. Lin Yi Qi’s mother clearly hasn't known how to choose a wife ever since she wronged the Shen family. Now I understand why our protagonist is rushing to secure an imperial marriage decree: she might not like it, but he’s doing it to protect her from those power-hungry, ambitious court louts—and from daughters who are just as ambitious and prematurely jealous.

Y entra en acción la tercera villana; menos mal que durará poco tenerla como dolor de cabeza. Qué cruz, Lin Yi Qi, tenía tres, mejor dicho, dos interesadas en él, pero a él solo le interesa una y esta “Xie Langxan” (le hará beber agua por calabaza). Según el refranero español, significa que le hará sufrir un poquito hasta conseguir lo que quiere el comandante Lin; sufrirá un poquito por egocéntrico en algunas cosas, y el matrimonio es muy importante como para hacer lo que hizo sin pedir permiso, ¿verdad? Jajaja.
********************************************************************************
And now the third female villain enters the fray; thank goodness she won't be a headache for long. What a trial for Lin Yi Qi—he had three women interested in him (or rather, two), but he only has eyes for one, and this "Xie Langxan" is going to make him jump through hoops. As the Spanish saying goes, she’s going to make him suffer a little before he gets what he wants; he’ll suffer a bit for being self-centered in certain respects—after all, marriage is too important a matter to go through with it without asking for permission, right? Hahaha.

Tiene pinta de psicópata, o una serpiente salivando veneno cada vez que habla; la verdad, borda ese papel, el actor.
**************************************************************************
He looks like a psychopath, or a snake drooling venom every time he speaks; honestly, the actor nails that role.

Eso mismo estaba pensando yo; ¿él sabrá quién es ella, en realidad? ¿La misma niña de entonces? Cuando se ayudaron mutuamente, lo que tengo claro es que ella aún no lo sabe aún.
********************************************************************
That’s exactly what I was thinking; does he actually know who she is? Is she the same girl from back then—from when they helped each other? What I am certain of is that she doesn't know it yet.

Sí, yes.

No, the second one is a member of Lin Yi Qi; I got mixed up, sorry.

Yes, I know it’s a matter of traditional culture—and sure, I get how things were in ancient times—but all those concepts still bother me: tradition, honor, and so on. It’s a code that’s hard to wrap one’s head around nowadays. Yet, the Shen family wasn't warned; they were left to fend for themselves. And if the Shen grandfather refused to change course—thereby leading the entire family to their deaths all over again—that was the code of honor at work: "If I die, everyone dies with me." That goes against my Western mindset—especially today, though even in ancient times, things didn't work that way in the West. There, the guilty party is executed, but the rest of the family isn't murdered or condemned to places like brothels or slavery—though, of course, mere survival was difficult enough as it was.

Yo sigo opinando que la familia Lin es culpable por omision de ayuda a la familia Shen no intentaron en ningun momento salvar ni tan siquiera a la que era su prometida con que ojos Lanxiang va a mirar la supuesta boda ? creo que se avecina una gran tormenta de ambos lados porque la familia Lin la rechazara de plano pondra el grito en el cielo, en un principio supongo ya veremos y ese abuelo es de armastomar mira que miedo le tienen sus dos hijos hombres adultos y ellos mismos padre de familia eso sí son dos chorlitos para ciertas cosas pra otras ( concubinas) son muy listos jajaja, Solo hay que ver quería librarse de mala manera de su nieta por el honor familiar coña pues paga tu mismo y deja vivir a los demás en paz eso me exaspero la verdad. Ese abuelo es el mayor hipócrita de todos.
******************************************************************************************
I still maintain that the Lin family is guilty of failing to come to the Shen family's aid; at no point did they try to save anyone—not even the woman who was supposed to be their son's fiancée. How is Lanxiang supposed to face this so-called wedding? I think a massive storm is brewing on both sides, because the Lin family will flat-out reject her and raise a huge fuss—at least initially, I imagine; we'll see. And that grandfather is a real piece of work—look at how terrified his two sons are of him, even though they’re grown men and fathers themselves. Mind you, they’re total dimwits when it comes to certain things, though they’re plenty clever when it involves concubines, haha. You only have to look at how he wanted to get rid of his granddaughter in such a nasty way just for the sake of family honor—well, damn it, you pay the price yourself and leave everyone else in peace; that really infuriated me. That grandfather is the biggest hypocrite of the lot.

Hola a todas por aquí. Bueno, ya pronto llega la tercera villana en discordia. ¿Os habéis fijado con qué mirada codiciosa un ministro ha mirado a Lin Yi Qi cuando le ha preguntado si está pensando en una esposa? Pues será su hermana quien intente casarse con él; al no conseguirlo, no sé qué pasará si se niega Lin YiQi o qué ocurrirá. Se vengará de Xie Lanxang secuestrándola; por lo que he deducido al ver los avances, no sé el porqué ni para qué, pero nuestra protagonista no sale de una y se mete en otra. Esperemos que todo se solucione de una vez. Por cierto, Lin Yi Qi tiene los ojos rojos de celos y rabia en este momento, y digo yo, ¿con qué derecho? Jajaja, será divertido; creo que la boda de estos dos está ya muy próxima y me da que con ella se terminará la primera parte de esta historia, claro que puedo estar equivocada.

Hi everyone. Well, the third female antagonist is about to arrive on the scene. Did you notice the greedy look a certain minister gave Lin Yi Qi when asked if he was considering taking a wife? It turns out it will be the minister's sister who tries to marry him; I don't know what will happen if Lin Yi Qi refuses or how things will play out. She ends up taking revenge on Xie Lanxang by kidnapping her—judging by the previews, anyway. I’m not sure of the exact reason or motive, but our protagonist just goes from one crisis straight into another. Let's hope everything gets resolved once and for all. By the way, Lin Yi Qi is practically seeing red with jealousy and rage right now—and I have to ask, by what right? Hahaha, it’s going to be entertaining; I think the wedding for these two is just around the corner, and I have a feeling that event will mark the end of the first part of the story—though, of course, I could be wrong.

She appears as a guest in the cast.

That term wasn't used back then, and that’s not the point anyway; she knows the Dus aren't who they claim to be—they infiltrated that household with an ulterior motive beyond just securing advantageous marriages for themselves. Furthermore, as events unfold, she is revealed to be siding with the enemy; we will eventually learn whether they were already enemies—in which case, even the Du brother ends up fighting against the protagonist. In short, those two siblings are not who they pretend to be.

Regarding the subject of maids and mistresses—yes, even involving wrongful deaths—but nothing else. *Story of Yanxi Palace* is another great drama with 70 episodes that I’ve watched more than once.
***************************************************************************************
En el tema de sirvientas y señoras, sí, incluso en muertes injustas, pero en nada más. Historia del Palacio Yanxi es otro gran drama con 70 capítulos que he visto más de una vez.

I read on this very page that they were going to be broadcast back-to-back, one right after the other; all that's left is to wait and see what happens.

I think it's from one of the two Du brothers—with any luck.

Esta tercera hermana es joven, tímida, pero muy observadora; digamos que cuando Lanxiang entre de nuevo a la familia, se complementarán muy bien; son las nuevas Sherlock Holmes.
Dr. Watson, femeninas en la familia Lin, por supuesto, entra en juego el nuevo marqués, que también es general; uf, nueva caza para la villana, seguro no lo sé, solo es intuición. Y como no lo conseguirá, ni eso ni emparejar al hermano con la tonta y crédula segunda hermana, será el envenenamiento a la familia entera. Vaya guion que me he montado, pero veo que esto será algo parecido; todas las pistas están ahí.
*********************************************************************************************
This third sister is young and shy, yet very observant; let's just say that when Lanxiang rejoins the family, they’ll complement each other perfectly—they’re the new Sherlock Holmes.
As for the female "Dr. Watsons" of the Lin family—well, the new Marquis (who is also a general) enters the picture. Oof, a new target for the villainess to hunt down—I can't say for sure, it's just a hunch. And since she won't succeed—neither in that nor in pairing the brother off with the foolish, gullible second sister—she’ll resort to poisoning the entire family. Quite the scenario I’ve cooked up, but I have a feeling things will play out something like that; all the clues are there.

Gracias, guapa, muy amable. En realidad, nadie se ha quejado, excepto una persona a la que parece que le daba risa por escribir en dos idiomas; jamás he visto semejante desconsideración hacia otra persona por aquí sin motivo aparente.
************************************************************************
Thanks, dear—that’s very kind of you. Actually, no one has complained, except for one person who seemed to find it funny that I was writing in two languages; I’ve never seen such rudeness toward someone around here for no apparent reason.

jajaja,

I'm good, thanks. Now I'm really looking forward to that scene—haha.
