@scarfie Can i ask what motivates Yuan Shen‘s negative comments about FL? Is it his way of guarding her from other males or is he still thinks that she is scheming and dishonest?
My personal opinion. I think he isn't sure with his own feeling, He loves her, for sure, but as the head of Yuan family, his future wife has demanding obligations that (he thinks) CSS isn't capable of so he can't really express it sincerely, his taunting and scheming is like looking for assurance that CSS like him too. He's insecure of himself, he sees LBY as more strong competitor for the CSS's hand.
I like YS...although he's bitter, cunning, insecure, and mean. But he's a good man...he doesn't do anything to jeopardy someone's life - he takes a fair shoot while LY is innocent, LBY tough, and YS is cunning. CSS is a lucky girl.
