LBY is BACK!
The moment LBY (he has so many new names so I will just stick to this one) is back and sees SS, you can tell he still loves her deeply. At a banquet, as everyone was getting seated, LBY seats himself right beside YS and people are shocked. Why is the fiance and ex-fiance sitting together talking? That spot was supposed to be for SS so when she arrived, she ended up having to sit with Miss Lou, the girl who might be engaged to LBY. The girls start talking a bit and SS wasn't impressed with Miss Lou's character and after a bit, she said she doesn't want to talk to her anymore. Someone then points out and asks LBY why he is sitting with YS and what there is to talk about. LBY I think is being sarcastic and knows there is a lot of gossip since the day prior when he fixed SS's stirrups, it was witnessed by 50+ people and rumors were already flying everywhere. He stands up and say "we are taking about ShaoShang of course" and people gasp again. Then he says "we are actually taking about political affairs"...
A bit later, LBY catches SS and says he wants to talk to her and she is reluctant but follows. He thanks her for clearing his name 5 years ago and helping to clear his identity and finding the evidence that led to the conviction of the Ling family who were prosecuted heavily afterwards. She said that he being obsessed about it for over 10 years obviously couldn't see as clearly as her since she was an outsider. LBY asks her if she really wants to marry YS. She says of course and LBY comments YS is a good match for her and he has a good family background and temperament. LBY tells SS if she ever needs anything in the future, he will help her no matter how many times. When SS hears this, she gets excited because she knows how powerful LBY is so getting his help would be helpful. She said, no matter how many times?? But you will get married and have kids. How will you have time? But if you do get married, you really should take your time. That miss Lou is really not good enough! LBY tells her he will arrange so not to worry. SS then said "ok, 3 things! Just 3 is enough!" So they end their relationship amicably here.
Later LBY gets sued by someone and again there are too many characters and I cannot keep track but it's about an incident that happened over 5 years ago when he was still engaged to SS. When SS hears, she realizes she can be LBY's alibi because they were actually on a 3 day date during that time! So she voluntarily acts as a witness and LBY is really surprised to see her. It was a funny/amusing scene because during the 3 day date, they were pretty intimate and she had to recount everything they did together. At the end LBY was laughing because he remembers everything even more vividly than her. After that, the case closes.
LBY sees SS leaving and grabs her wrist and says he needs to talk to her. YS sees and rushed up asking what he is doing. LBY says he needs to talk to SS. They ask can't YS be here too? LBY says ok and he puts once hand around SS's waist and one hand around YS's should and literally pushes them into his carriage LOL. It's funny because YS said everytime he sees LBY he feels uneasy and SS says, can we try to avoid him in the future?? It does show how LBY has such a strong and overpowering aura. In the carriage, the annoying 5th prince somehow weasles himself into the carriage too so the 4 of them are sitting there. I can imagine the awkwardness and LBY says to SS "ShaoShang, break off your marriage with Yuan Shen and marry me".
And that is where I am now. I can completely see Wu Leiact this whole scene out and the gawking faces of everyone else LOL
