Ahh I thought their moms were the Rong cause they use matrilineal surname and itās the woman whoās in charge…
Grandma is a Rong, sheās in charge until she hands the business to a heir, currently itās Shan Bao. Men married into Rong family and their children take on the Rong family name
Thereāre 2 types of cousins.
Tang cousins: Tang jie (elder) or Tang Mei (younger) It means their fathers are sibling.
Biao cousins: Biao Jie (elder) Biao Mei (younger) It means theyāre related on their mothers side
All the cousins are Tang here so theyāre related on the father side Except Shen who is a Biao cousin. As her mother is a Rong sibling.
Yes the women are in charge, thatās why you donāt see the men here running the business.
Example Shan Chang, heās not given a position of any importance
Shan Bao mentioned that her father and 2nd uncle went into becoming officials since theyāre not in charge of business and 3rd uncle passed away.
In one of the trailer we see that he is bloody in a room with RSB and he force a hug on her and she try to get…
Iāve got a feeling that Yan has an inner beast that might come out later. As Shan Bao said, staying Rong household can corrupt a good person. Thatās why she warned LJL to stay away and be friends. Cousin. Wan Can had already turned dark. Yan noticed that too. Maybe thatās foreshadowing for whatās to come for himself. In a harem situation, theyāve already shown that theyād resort to any means necessary to gain favors and power.
LJL is also heading that way if thatās his goal. Heās saved by having his memory back. Heās got a different identity and purpose so he wonāt be corrupted that way.

Shan Bao mentioned that her cousins have different grandpas š¤«š¤£ Grandma Rong got different husbands at different times since I think she couldnāt marry all of them as the same time. Since the law allowed men to have multiple but not women Or maybe only one husband, others were on the side without a title or position? šš¬
Are all the sisters biologically related? Maybe I missed it but it didn't seem like they explained the relationships?

Thatās my guess as well. Madame Liang is Yang. I think that bracket belongs to her, one of her name character is Lan which means orchid. Hmmm very similar to Liang?
