The dichotomy of disciple Chu’s actions — his fluid morality

There is plotting afoot for Chai Anxi. He has an ax to grind with the Xiao family for the death of his son. He wants to be first in line to bring down their house in revenge. Chu knows this and plans to use to his advantage. His mentor however, wants all the loose ends eliminated. It seems the fake general is well versed in martial arts and highly resents his sister for her role as his substitute. Since he is so well trained and healthy, why was He Yan forced to take his place? What purpose did that really hold? Why was He Yan so melancholy and wanting to drown herself in drink. Is it her mother’s bday? What triggered this event for her? Was it the date or the visit from Trojan horse Chu? He has come under the pretense of award for Xiao Jue’s service while simultaneously plotting his demise. His spies have told him where Lei Hou and brother are but he spares them and sends fake corpses back to placate the powers that be. What is the deal with Mingshui that has the politicians nervous and fake general enraged? Are they all unhinged because Xiao Jue lived and won? What did fake General do in all the years he was supposedly so ill? He obviously has been training, but where was he hid and why? He Yan noticed the fire trigger for Chu even in drunken state and Chu recognizes a celebration song for women and remembers it from childhood. He Yan demands to see the moon and Chu politely declines until Commander shows up. He then changes it to invite for all three to go. Xiao Jue takes He Yan to sober up and lets Chu know he can go solo. Earlier He Yan presented him with a new zither to make up for the one she broke. His guard said she’d saved her pay for months to acquire it. This is a smile he allows himself. In her drunken state she is back to her failed recitation from mother’s bday and asks her ‘father’ if he is pleased now. Cheng is loving this and is the nosy auntie with all the girl tricks to get her admit who she likes.😂 He is kicked out of the room after He Yan rewards herself with his future wife’s pendant.😂 Cheng is having a ball helping her recall the previous night’s events. She thought his most precious item was his virtue.😂🤣 After being assured she hadn’t forced herself on the commander, she runs to return the pendant she took. Chu comes in and catches the end of the conversation and actually lines a date up for moon viewing with He Yan. He plans on getting intel from her as she tried to get info about fake General. He is the devoted brother lighting candles for her, failing to mention it is at temple to suppress spirits.😝 Chu and commander get Chai Anxi info at same time. Chu is beating feet to find him first while commander has to go through family channels since his military position has no authorization to be there. The date is broken and Chu sent a note. Will the commander deliver it? Have it delivered by someone else? Or let her feel stood up? And will Chai Anxi live or die when Chu finds him? Chu seems to be merciful or assassin at the flip of a coin, so which will he be for Xiao Jue and Chai Anxi? And does the fake general fit into any of these plans?

Five Stars

The starting of the episode was so funny, the cute bickering between the son-in-law and the father-in-law.......left me rolling on the floor. 🤣🤣 The way Jiang xiao shuai was concerned for wu suwei..............he literally pushed chi cheng out of the picture 🤣🤣 The bathtub scene was jaw dropping.........I didn't expect that. I really loved the cute bonding between chi cheng and wu suwei, the way they take care of each other...................................... Chi cheng stole his nephew to show him to suwei .......who in turn called suwei "aunt". Chi cheng was really proud of introducing wu suwei as his wife. I really want to know who this wang zhen long is.......... that made the cute couple suffer again. But loved the way suwei was worried about chi......... and was ready to do anything to bring him back. I really love this series, but it is sad that it is ending soon.I wonder what will I watch after this........ it's very difficult to get anything worth watching.Anyways, waiting for the next episode eagerly.........
