The one explaining about Mrs. Yang.

This needs a spoiler cover.

You mean when they were in the ancestor temple and was explaining the architecture? When he kissed her cheek?

yes

It’s fake. But, there are indeed certain individuals just naturally born with a “green thumb” and are naturally good with plants.

Yes, I get that, but it would have been consensual. There’s no sense of harm or danger while being in LJL’s presence. That was my point. I understand your joke, but “molest” has a very ugly connotation.

I love how thoroughly RSB trusted LJL to the point that she could fall asleep comfortably in his bed knowing that he would never harm her nor molest. I shudder to think what that Yang guy would have done to her if she had gone into that bridal chamber! 😱

Lu Fusheng treats RSB so well. How well will magistrate Lord Lu treat her?

Correct. Someone explained it excellently if you scroll waaaaaaay down in the comments. It’s like she is a “son” of the family, hence she and her brother have the middle name “Sang” whereas the other sisters are “Yun.”

Richard Li is knocking it out of the park with this role.

correct

original script

Sixth Sister is “Wan” not “Lan”—Rong Yun Wan. But, the bracelet said “Lan”.

ML is not/was not married. Rewatch ep 2 to learn about the wife-murder. I need to rewatch myself to understand who that couple was. They have some sort of connection to the Rongs that has not been revealed yet.

It’s supposedly the reincarnated ancestor who is blessed with innate knowledge all about teas and tea harvesting who is deemed the legitimate leader of the Rong clan. A myth/superstition, but one that the Rong matriarchal family has successfully used for centuries to maintain their power and superiority for centuries as the “Tea King”—owner of 300 plantations who even provide imperial tea for the emperor.

“Lan”

We don’t know yet. The secret seems to be related to WanWan, the mentally-impaired Sixth Sister since he stole WanWan’s nanny-caretaker’s bracelet that said “Lan” on it. We don’t know if that magistrate (who was previously LJL’s assistant) is a good guy or bad guy yet.

IKR 😅 so good, so well done

ditto, rewatching ep 2 especially
