The Road to Splendor Episode 13

Birthday gifts and new trouble

It's a pity they couldn't catch Madam Zuo with Advisor Li, but at least she's removed from the post of teaching the young ladies. Tingyun getting that post was probably one of the best things that could happen to the town — she will teach them skills that can be more useful in their lives than just embroidering and being a virtuous wife. 😌👍Ling spending his first promotional salary to buy fireworks for Tingyun's birthday was the sweetest gift. And not only that — he chose that specific day to move to a better house that they had finally earned due to his new rank. The way they look at each other — love, love, and once again it's love. 🥰 I hope Sanniang will soon succeed with her hints to make Tingyun realise what it is that she truly feels for Ling and bring those two closer to tying the knot. 🤞But that scene with San and Ling broke my heart a little... Why did he have to react that way and tell Ling he's neither his brother nor father to tell him what to do and what not... why? Ling has always cared for him as if he's his little brother... 🥺😢 I really hope San will listen to Yucheng's advice. 🤞But the Lu siblings... uff. My anger towards them is even greater than towards Madam Zuo, to be fair. Concubine Lu is so envious of Tingyun that she's becoming big-time petty. When General Mo learns what she has done behind the scenes, I don't think he'll keep her around anymore. 🤨😒And Lu Dahu? He's the most vile of them all. He is so envious of Ling and annoyed by him even being in the army that he makes his life as hard as he possibly can. And now he even covets Tingyun? 😤 Hands, eyes, and even nose off that lady, you creep! 😠🫵I really hope Ling will succeed with his warhorse mission and will be able to turn the tables before Lu Dahu reports to General Wang that Ling is a deserter who offended his superior officer and even disobeyed his orders. 😬🤞P.S. A fun fact I stumbled upon — Deng Enxi's birthday is April 18th, and Tingyun's birthday is the 18th day of the 4th month (Zuo Junjie said that in one of the first episodes). 🤗
