she's a nimby

👍👍👍
it's karma, i would say. lanxiang now uses jinqi's way back on him. it's also that, lanxiang realizes in that world, power works, and jinqi wasn't wrong in using it. either way, both learn and see the others' pov.

despite lanxiang was angry at jinqi using power to force a marriage on her, she now also realizes she needs to use jinqi's power to get things done, starting with jie'er, now with the big sister. that's reality, more so in today's world.

the set up by lanxiang to get jinqi involved in dealing with his obnoxious brother-in-law and his family is brilliant

she's gonna be the wealthiest business woman in the region

epi 8-9. do you think jinqi would have murdered lanxiang and xiaolian if they were standing where the mrs wanted them to stand? if the zhaos wanted to murder them, like they did with their own servants, do you think jinqi would save them?

in the period of when slaves' lives were as low as animals', "wants" were not an option; most people didn't have such luxury, even the elites like jinqi. he had to obey his grandfather and parents on everything.

judging from jinqi's desperation to drug lanxiang because he's leaving first thing in the morning, i'm not surprised they leave in the wee hours, so the grandpa and parents are still snoring away. 🤣

he was puzzled by her sorrow after he took her to the graves. then they had a baby. it's the birth of the baby (more details) that gave it away, so jinqi investigated and realized lanxiang was jia lan.
this is what i gathered from the other netizens. not sure if it's accurate or not.

He will take her to the unmarked graves first.

So true🙄

exactly: even in some play schools, there were reports of kids being drugged so that they slept and made life easier for the care takers. i mean, this happened in the 21st century. i know it's not right, but it happens rampantly. therefore, it's not a big deal when many people were slaves, and their lives were equivalent to animals.

being detail -oriented, lanxiang will be the one who first finds out something is wrong with the sister's husband and stops jinqi from making a mistake to help find him a position

here's the first misunderstanding that they fight:
when she said, "you type of people", he mistook it as, she's still being in love with han and despising him, when what she actually meant was his abuse of power.
this is very realistic and how most couples fight.

it is super funny.
think of it this way: he has probably a few hours left before leaving for the boat, and his wife refuses to go. there's no other way except to move her when she's sleeping. it's almost like a parent coax a child to deep sleep before doing something the child may throw a tantrum had he been awake. 🤣

when jinqi sees how lanxiang resolves problem without using brute force, he will come to see the light.

👍👍👍
my heart melts whenever i see those dimples, and forgive him for all the crazy things he's done 🤣🤣😂

yeah, he's been "da ye" all his life. he doesn't see what's wrong with what he's doing. even yuchan and many women agree with that--you have to use power to resolve a problem. to most people, that's the only way.

this guy is sensitive to some issues (unimportant to lanxiang), and insensitive to others (important to lanxiang). it's like a duck speaking to a chicken.

it would break his heart had he known what he's done to her thinking he's being loving and considerate.
