A Splendid Match Episode 29

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.
