Brothers’ feud and noble mean girls tea party

XuanQing gives such mixed signals. He is first on the scene since he had YanWen followed. He follows the plotters and sees where they are holding JinZhou and her guard. He even goes as far as purchasing her to get her away from them. YanYun has also arrived on the scene. He has ordered the gates closed so they are all sealed in. When he kicks in that door, it was kinda awesome.💪🏻👏🏻 They make short work of them and rescue the ladies. XuanQing and his guard have tracked down the seller. XuanQing ended up killing her. Considering the offense I don’t think he would have even been charged. He is forgetting about the jade pendent he left behind that will bite him in the ass later. He sees his brother come to JinZhao’s defense and knows that his brother loves her. What is nauseating in his conviction is that he equally believes JinZhao took advantage of his brother for his wealth and position. 🙄🤬 I am sure that it makes JinZhao sick to her stomach that she wasted any of her time liking him. I am not getting his stunt with the earrings, but he is such a weakling that the girls can handle him at his worst. If he realized what the two guys that will die for her would do to him…he would flee for school now. He not only thinks the absolute worst of her, he has the ego to think she was supposed to be pining for him these last three years. 🙄😡It is laughable if he wasn’t so serious about it. His guard is aware how stupid he’s being but you can’t fix stupid.😝So like Lian’s servant he is forced by his charge to follow orders regardless of consequences. YanYun knows the brother behind it and why. The hatred this brother has is so rabid. This one just needs to be put down so he causes no further grief. Chen sends him off to Shanxi under the pretense of business so brother number two can take care of him. He is not so vengeful as to make his family pay the price and has them stay at home. All the kidnappers that thought the worst was over getting sent to prison had no clue what awaited them. They are now under YeXian’s domain and their hell has just started. He scoffs that Chen didn’t kill them all. This role suits him so well. He is eerie and vengeful juxtaposed with a gentleness and kitten. QingLan loves his duality and I really want to see his heart let another in. The couple finally arrive back at the Chen house where they have been gossiping, I see where her boys get their ruthlessness from when mom says any servant spreading rumors were to be beaten to death no trial necessary. JinZhao made me laugh out loud when she kicked that handsome man out of her bed because he let her get kidnapped.🤣😂🥰🫣He is beautifully groveling. She discusses how to make amends with his mother and convinces him to let her go to the tea party to deal with the Wangs. I really think YanYun was adopted. His mother….she annoys the hell outa me with her tabloid way of speaking. She is ridiculously snide and flips on a dime when the truth intervenes. The two mean girls were trying to embarrass her but the invitation arrived for the tea party. Had they known why Ms Wang invited her, their smugness would have remained intact. JinZhao arrives with gifts after a flat non welcome when she arrived. She is ridiculed for bringing them and counseled on why it was completely inappropriate. She shrewdly responds she should have asked Ms Wang the correct protocol when she received the invite. This pushes the onus off on her when the leader of the group agreed with JinZhao. The ladies are chatting and tossing out opinions of who should have what position. It is also clear this is how younger relatives get into new positions. They have not cornered JinZhao yet but I am sure there will be something next episode. They are too spiteful to leave her be. The episode ends with a crooked politician being arrested. He is all lippy until he recognizes the arresting officer. They are going to be realizing there is a new sheriff in town and he will not be bribed or let them off easy. Wang has issues because his wife was the one with the bright idea about the student protesters. They are now at school demanding the emperor and officials have their land properly taxed. 😂😝He is such a henpecked thug that I can smile here. He is learning that his kind is a dying breed. Literally. I cannot wait til he and Fu get theirs. Lots of excitement and cute newlywed playfulness this episode. These two…🔥🫣

Dong Suk is a mess of a character

Dong Suk is my second hated character behind the obvious choice Min Hyoo Joo. She fangirls over the guitar singer Tae Pyung which lead to terrible decision making. This obsession with the guy made her steal her mother's money to support Tae Pyung in becoming a music star again. But he fell for a scam and lost that money away. But then it's revealed Dong Suk took out ALL of her daughter's money in her account to support Tae Pyung. If her daughter Da Jung was treated more important to the drama, they would have had her extremely upset over what happened and not brush it off like that. Also Dong Suk's mother should be more upset at her daughter for stealing the money and giving it to a man she just met instead of fully blaming it on Tae Pyung.

Title lost new job given

XuanQing is redirected to his room and the couple have a pleasant wedding night.🥰❤️ The next morning Chen tells JinZhao the Marquis died and that was the funeral party they met in the road. They go to the Ye home to show their respects and YeXian is hanging onto white kitty for all he is worth. QingLan gives a cold reception and incense is offered after a cool rebuff from Ye Xian. Chen stays and the gals go outside. QingLan doesn’t believe JinZhao’s words but she is puzzled because there is no doubt of the sincerity of them. Chen gives the expected imperial decree of the title lost because Ye Xian did not have the health to fulfill the duties. He is visibly shaken and the actor does a phenomenal job displaying the spectrum of emotions needed for this scene. He is surprised when Chen gives an oral decree from the young emperor putting him in charge of a 500 man guard as the personal guard for the emperor. Here Ye Xian is stunned as this job is perfect for him and Chen warns he better excel. The couple joins the Chen family pouring tea and exchanging gifts. Things go well until XuanQing announces they were already acquainted requiring explanation and then pouring tea on her hand. I would like to think nerves got the better of him, but there is no denying the lack of remorse and that Chen gave him his gift rather than JinZhao. The ladies and gentlemen split company and right when the gossip gets started JinZhao joins the group. When the mother starts complaining, she is gently pressed back with explanation of events that had taken place. JinZhao is warned that his mother is a snob and with her penchant for gossip over fact, it’s disappointing that she doesn’t address her new daughter in law directly with questions rather than rumors. Chen is an angel and rescues her from them. The men are talking nicely until YanWen implied the Gu’s threw her at him. Chen wants specific answers as to who was telling the lies. Here even XuanJing said that was not the case and answered quite truthfully. But to see the same look on brothers 4 and 5, that was a bit scary. 😬The Gu family is waiting to see the new couple but they get news instead they are on their way to Tongzhou and will visit when they return. JinZhao was going with better to ask forgiveness than permission. Lian again looks like a fish gasping for air in her petulant receipt of Lan’s response. Lan is acting more like the girl in first episodes but I hate they added a wedge between them that leaves Lan all alone. Daddy Gu has left and not even Lan sees him off. I would feel a touch sorry but I still see him tossing a young JinZhao out the gate, not telling his wife, and letting that demon spawn nanny Zhou choke her. So nope, he’s on his lonesome and good riddance. Outa sight outa mind.😝It goes to a prison scene where the old commander Zhang is being tortured. He has come clean with all the corrupt doings between him and Wang but Ye Xian does one brand over his heart…just because. He is then sentenced to death for his crimes. Fu and Wang the two weasels are thinking business as usual while Chen is off doing newlywed things. They both get the news their penal buddy Zhang committed suicide in prison in remorse for his crimes. Considering what they had planned for the Marquis and the Gu boys, things are being righted. XuanQing thinks YanWen needs watched and I won’t argue with that, but it seems he himself needs some monitoring as well. His hostility at feeling snubbed is undeniable. JinZhao was more mature about her snubbing three years prior😝 The couple are en route to TongZhou when they are stopped by student protesters set up by the Wang household. While Chen is tied up with them, he returns to find his guards dead or unconscious and JinZhao and her guard missing. Very glad there is another episode today.

Ciize AGAIN?!!?

Kilig. It's a Filo word for all the good-feels of having butterflies in your stomach.... And THAT it exactly what FWB episode 3 is all about: Catching good feelings in every place that matters! We know Lal really likes Wine from ep 1.... But Wine has too many traumas and issues to heal: She's been scarred for being thought of as always getting her way, just because she's beautiful (and oh my Jingjing heart just jumps out of my chest every time she smiles!). Wine's afraid to be seen as less than perfect.... And it's this beautiful mess that's Wine that Lal's falling for! Take it slow Lal, you might be drinking up a whole lot more than you could swallow.... And now there's this matter about Cheese (huwaaaaaat, Ciize AGAIN?! She messed up Film/Bambi pretty bad in GIRL RULES, and now it seems she's gonna screw things up between Wine & Lal).... My best part from Ep 3? Holding hands under the blanket. Kilig!
