You didn’t catch the hints from today. When he was recommended to teach etiquette, that suggestive background…
He was forever attached to one woman or another, and making sure her family helps him up the ladder. Once he had climbed high enough, he would set his sight on his next mark.
When FCY's family took pity on him and his mother, they were so poor they couldn't afford to bury his dad. Instead of being eternally grateful for having someone help him succeed in life, he took the first chance to dump his newly orphaned fiancée and fully switch his courtship towards the magistrate's daughter. He was definitely playing both sides, no one can convince me otherwise.
I think the OP forgot the character's name. Wei Xuan (Wei Yan's son) is not his biological son. Wei Yan married the mother knowing she was pregnant to save her from her relatives who wanted to kill her. She was supposed to marry someone else but fled with a soldier. Unfortunately he died in battle. That's why Wei Yan's relationship with his wife is formal. They are married in name only.
