A Splendid Match Episode 25

Matchmakers and dowry lists

Frost is being pampered with treats by YeXian and young Emperor. It seems Fu is quite comfortable having his favorites in standby and can get his food faster than the crown prince. Ye Xian told him that there were records kept on everybody in court except for one and wasn’t that odd? After agreeing YeXian had the most odd story the young emperor tells the court he is abolishing the position of inspector. That was unexpected news. Fu is seeing he is making his own decisions without consulting him first. Chen is speaking with his former colleague and it is decided that his wife will be the matchmaker. He also wants Chen back in the office. Lian is doing her best to try to draw attention to herself. She wants opportunity to brag about her upcoming wedding. The other Gu girls let her know they would rather she vacate the room than brag about her wonderful fiancé. The matriarchs are talking and Ms Yao is graciously suggesting the wedding gifts could be kept as compensation for the broken engagement. She is getting more and more snide when a servant runs in announcing Ms He. Ms Yao is escorted out but makes excuse to stay. Lian hears all about YanYun’s proposal to JinZhao and has a tantrum that would make a three year old jealous.😝🙄Ms Yao is changing her tune because there is no way her husband can outshine Chen in any capacity. So I think her miscreant son will not be enthused to hear he is marrying the wrong Gu girl. Lian is forced to make the rounds apologizing and gives Lan her favorite hairpin. Lan tries to get her to keep it since it was a gift from gma. Lian is the epitome of ingrate and tells her to keep it or toss it. Lan was at first smug about getting things broken off, but she did try to warn Lian that her fiancé was not a nice person. Lian has known him since grade school bla bla bla and won’t believe anything but that Lan is jealous. JinZhao has a meeting with gma and cousin where they make sure this is her real choice for a husband. Gma Ji was persuaded by the divorce decree at the ready and cousin was convinced when each question received a louder yes. Gma gave her the bracelet she received as a bride and cousin hands her a huge roll of cash saying half her daowry. I was surprised he didn’t tease her if she was going to burn this batch of gifts too.😂🤣 He looked her straight in the eye and watched her closely for any doubt and she passed his test of being happy and convinced with her decision. She is nervous later and Chen is there to support her. She finally tells him she likes him and ready to take the gamble. There guards are so cute wanting to stay and peek and equally hide and give them privacy. 🫣🥰Ye Xian’s sister is concerned about how their marriage will effect her brother. JinZhao has been trying to contact him personally because she wanted to tell him face to face of her plans. Unfortunately duties kept him busy and he is finally hearing about it. At the end of the episode JinZhao is walking with his sister and having a chat. The biggest change of things from the Gu’s is gma handing over every item JinZhao’s mom had left for her. She realized that JinZhao would hold them accountable and she wouldn’t get credit. 😝🙄 But even if Lian felt shorted, she did the right thing albeit for a selfish reason. She also encouraged her daughter in law to discipline Lian. I think it’s a bit too late for that but if her fiancé will leave Lan alone, those two deserve each other.
