Right? So many trolls suddenly.
I saw those comments and don't understand where they got that idea from. I've watched today's eps 28 & 29 and didn't see her wanting to grow vegetables or moaning at all. In fact the advice she gives to ZL is very sensible from my POV.

…and when I see a scene again with our main couple I sigh in relief “oh, good, they’re both still alive!”…
They are. There are shorts for ep 36 doing the rounds on TikTok, Instagram, YouTube etc.

Title The Road to Splendor Spoiler
At what point did Ting Yun and Zhao Ling think it was safe to leave Madam Fu alone in the Fu house with her POS…
Some, not all women keep forgiving and giving chances and that's only if they have feelings for a man. It's clear that's not the case with Madam Fu. Hence, what it's not clear at all to me is why she waited that long to file for divorce. What was she doing still with him? Why did she allow a man she couldn't stand to mistreat her, ban her from going to her daughter's wedding and imprison her in her room when she had a full range of options displayed in front of her?

She could have written that divorce letter on ep 1 for that matter, she came from a much better background than him, she had a rich and supportive family who would have her back any time she wanted. The POS Fu father was a kept husband, for crying out loud, Madam Fu was the one paying for everything including his career.

Just before she was killed she could have gone back to her town with her son and daughter in law. She could have gone to live with TY and ZL. She could have moved to her brother's mansion. Why was she still with that POS? She just made herself into a sitting duck for no reason at all whatsoever, except being a poorly thought out excuse for taking Zhao Ling out of action for 3 months.

Lazy writing. It cheapens the plot.

So that was the plot's preemptive strike, having her say her demented husband wouldn't hurt her despite the fact that he had already pointed a gun at her and stated he was going to kill her.

If the Fu POS father had been poisoning her slowly and the servant didn't know, then she told the truth. I'm just…
Nah, they just slapped a bit of grey foundation on her.

Most satisfying: Zhao Ling slicing the POS Fu father's musket in half like a banana and putting the sword to his…
I know it sounds unbelievable, but early Chinese muskets had a bamboo barrel. Yep.

'...because jingxiu can't have a love triangle with a married couple'You just wait.
You might have guessed already. YJX is still deluding himself that he can get FTY even after she's married.

No signs. Apart from the Fu father pointing a gun at Madam Fu in front of Zhao Ling and stating he was going to kill her.

The POS Fu father had previously pointed a gun at Madam Fu in front of Zhao Ling and said he was going to kill her. That was immediately after he actually tried to kill Zhao Ling.

She was writing a letter of divorce and, from her own explanation, it looks like that's all she needed to do at least in this drama, I don't know what it entails in real life.

She didn't need to create a new register, she wasn't founding a new household. She could had simply moved in with her daughter who already had her own register.

Well, it didn't seem difficult for Madam Fu to write a letter of divorce, it seemed that's all she needed to do. And that would have been all she needed in order to be done with him had he not killed her.

Why tell him she was writing a letter of divorce when she was at his house and had nobody to defend her? She knew he customarily flew into a rage for a lot less than a letter of divorce. Why did she wait until then, why didn't she divorce him earlier? She'd had a lifetime of his awfulness and she knew he wasn't going to change.

Every time Zhao Ling entered the house / took her away / left guards to protect her the Fu father couldn't do anything about it, and he would absolutely have done if he had been able to.

To me, it is a plot hole. At this point her mother is just used as an excuse to continue the plot and add drama to the drama.

Not convinced. The Fu father was already discredited from the court case, where tMadam Fu clearly spoke against him and let everybody know what an awful man he was. Madam Fu could have even gone to visit her daughter and send the divorce letter from there, then she didn't need to go back.

The 'she couldn't take her mother away against her father's wish' doesn't fly, she just did exactly that with her mother's coffin.

why did the mother's servant lie about her health?
If the Fu POS father had been poisoning her slowly and the servant didn't know, then she told the truth. I'm just guessing.

So far what was your favorite and or least favorite moment?Who is your favorite and least favorite characters?
Most satisfying: Zhao Ling slicing the POS Fu father's musket in half like a banana and putting the sword to his throat.

Most frustrating: Zhao Ling kneeling in the rain in front of said POS Fu father, WTAF??

Just finished ep 28. Comment follows.
At what point did Ting Yun and Zhao Ling think it was safe to leave Madam Fu alone in the Fu house with her POS demented husband? Why didn't they take her in? ZL was decisive enough when he sliced the idiot's gun in half, put his sword to his neck and escorted his mother-in-law away. Even if it was Madam Fu's decision to stay in the Fu residence, why didn't ZL leave a couple of guards to protect her as he did before? She was even writing a letter of divorce, why was she still in the Fu house and, more relevantly, why did she let him know she was divorcing him instead of just sending him the letter from the safety of her daughter's house?. Why does the plot create this loop of Zhao Ling freeing her only for her to be kept captive by her demented husband again, until she gets killed? At this point she's just a conveniently placed sitting duck, a non believable excuse for the plot to carry on.

Then on the preview for 29 ( haven't watched it yet) the Fu POS father is seen slapping Ting Yun hard across the face. This doesn't add up either. He's a coward. He wouldn't even dream of doing that knowing Zhao Ling would unleash hell upon him if he so much as touched his wife.

I'm finding all these holes in the storyline disappointing in what is otherwise a very well acted drama.

I randomly search on salt history and I can't believe the word salary come from salt tf lmao and apparently salt…
Salt was and still is used today to preserve food, particularly in the fish industry but also meat and vegetables. All those tins you see at the supermarket that say 'in brine', brine is salted water and has been used since ancient times for this purpose. Salt was also used as an antiseptic and still is, the dentist will tell you to rinse your mouth with salted water if you have a slight infection.

Roman household slaves were given a small monthly amount of salt, called 'salarium', that they could then exchange for other goods, being effectively pocket money for them. This is why this Latin word 'salarium' carried in principle a negative connotation, as it was a very small income a dignified citizen couldn't have lived on. And yes, the modern word 'salary' comes directly from 'salarium'.

Salt is essential for human life. Sodium regulates the balance between interior and exterior hydration in human cells. A low level of sodium can result in the interior of cells getting over hydrated, causing them to swell. This condition, oedema, is particularly dangerous in the brain, as it doesn't have room to expand because it is housed in a hard carcass, the skull. If left untreated, brain oedema is highly likely to result in death. So, yes, that's how important salt is.

Other words that are etymologically derived from Latin 'sal': salad, salsa, sauce, sausage.
