Meet the Wan's, Cheng Shaoshang's allies

May '23 We meet Lou Ben, Lou A'Yao's older brother. Lou Ben agrees to A'Yao breaking his engagement to Zhao Jun. CSS runs away to Qiqi's home and LBY who is after a map from General Wan meets up with CSS and decides to also stay at the Wan's home. The scene where CSS doesn't know how to ride a horse yet doesn't admit it to LBY, LBY tells her 'to don't put herself in danger' and gently adjusts her foot strap and puts her foot into foot holding and says 'a good horse will understand people, if you fear it, he will take advantage of you. This is how you train a horse. In this world, most other things are basically this way.' Wow if circumstances and the way of life could be that easy with this statement... what a wonderful world we would live in. With that said, LBY goes on to end their conversation with '... if I were really too close to you, it's because I've admired you for a long time, but you are not interested in me at all.' CSS realizes he over heard her statement in an earlier episode and apologizes, but I think LBY was confessing to her -- he really did admire her for a long time. CSS being naive does not catch it, she is truly a slow bloomer.Jul '22 In an earlier episode CSS met Uncle Wan for the 1st time and Uncle Wan told her to come to him anytime if she needs help from her mother, Lady Cheng Yuanyi -- CSS runs away from home and goes to the Wan's -- Uncle Wan doesn't recognize CSS at 1st because of her self inflicted wounds (hahahahaha) & General Ling happens to be leaving Uncle Wan as CSS arrives. We met Qiqi Wan (daughter) in an earlier episode and Qiqi is a great older sister/friend that defends CSS. We meet Grandma Wan for the first time and she likes CSS spirit. Mother Wan feels that CSS should keep harmony & report disgruntles to the elders -- CSS is safe with the Wan's. I want to give a shout out to LBY's 2-main 1st-line-officers -- they are a hoot! Also these episodes are 45min+ it goes by quickly, it feels like 20min. Thoroughly enjoying LLTG!

Mean Girls -- Cheng Shaoshang' cat fight....

May '23 This episode I realized that He Zhao Jun & Lou A'yao play the perfect fighting couple. This also is the meeting of Prince Xiao Shi Zi a 2nd time, who is trying to influence Zhao Jun to marry him. The fighting couple breaks off their engagement because of this additional misunderstanding, being engaged from a young age they just continued to go down the rabbits hole willingly.Jul '22 My goodness I love a good laugh & this episode had me in stitches -- Cheng Shaoshang continues to be straightforward, bold, not cheeky like the other young ladies & saves & defends 'sweet' cousin against 'mean girls'. CSS also finds out 11th Young Master is General Ling Bu Yi in their 2nd encounter (face-to-face) -- all 3-admirers show up in attempt to end cat-fight but CSS ends it with a bang!A lot happening in this episode -- a broken engagement, LBY saves CSS by finding evidence to keep her from being punished by Old Princess Consort as LBY is also following the clues for his main investigation on the stolen arms case and CSS runs away from home.
