The Road to Splendor Episode 28

What filial piety should truly be

Fifth Master Fu, you didn't! 😭 I was so mad at them for even thinking of that... And just to get Zhao Ling away for those three months for Lord Yu to get his plan through? 😠😤 Believe me, Fu Shichang, you arrogant fool, you were played and no reward will be coming your way! Ever. 😞🫵But, apart from the saddest thing they could ever decide to do, we actually got something good in this episode, too. Tingyun got Madam Yu rethinking how their family is operating and whether there is any love between them... which we all know — there isn't. It's only calculations, schemes, and a thirst for power, wealth, and status. I chuckled a little at her calling that dignity... 🤭And Concubine Wu does her part in the Yu family perfectly, as it really looks like she's slowly wrapping Jingxiu around her finger and I wonder how she will use that. Will it be just for her own benefit in the Yu family and to aid Madam Wu? Or will she use it to reach her ultimate goal — freedom from all her shackles? 🤔One of my favourite scenes in this episode definitely was Tingzhou standing up to his father, taking the banner and leading the delegation with Old Madam Fu's coffin to Huaying, while his wife explained to their children what filial piety should truly be."Filial piety is not blind obedience. It is knowing right from wrong. Righteousness is not empty fame. It is breaking old rules." ❤️😌
