Humph! The Young Lord Qi rlly didn't realise…

Humph! The Young Lord Qi rlly didn't realise what he was saying coz he was the sole legitimate heir so ofc he was privileged. The talented one assists the useless one?? Dammn he kind of stupid and naive ig. So... It shld be like that. Hmmph I don't think it wld be that easy in reality. Now her brother and father took notice of how clever Ming Lan was. So now we had ML and 2nd ML debated about the topic. Ming Lan, the young lord was really not sensible... how can he talk about respecting rank and status and then he forgot that he... shld not associate himself with you. It was hard to hear but that was the reality at that time. How can a son of a princess and a heir of dukedom marry a sixth daughter of a concubine?? Dammn chanfeng was that kind of guy huh, I've been side eyeing him since his view during the eldest heir or the worthy heir debate and now the way he treated Ming Lan gift for him??? Hey loser, if it wasn't ming lan who stepped in last time, you wld embarrassed the Sheng family losing the betrothal geese!. ML's father was so hateful!!!!!

An Important Debate, Feelings are Now Confessed, and The Civil Exam

Spoilers Ahead
1)We return to the family academy, and today's debate topic is the same topic facing the capital: Do you let the eldest heir inherit or the more worthy heir?.

2)Gu Ting Ye believes that Prince Han who is older should inherit. Second Brother Sheng believes that the younger Prince Yan is more intelligent and more capable. First Brother Sheng uses history to support his selection of the elder brother since history is rampant with families fighting, but then Seond brother Sheng states there are plenty of instances when someone other than the eldest brought great success. Mo'er chimes in to agree with her brother, and naturally Rulan makes it personal and her answer is not as eloquent as Mo'er. Sixth Miss and Young Lord are called on to speak

3)Yuan Ruo admits he wanted to listen to everyone else and is silent (this is a big part of is personality). Ming Lan states she is a girl so she doesn't care, it is unrelated to her. What follows is everyone in the class arguing. Pressure is put onto Ming Lan to answer. Yuan Ruo defends her, and Gu Ting Ye intervenes and mutters to Yuan Ruo he is creating problems for her by defending her and he urges him to trust that Ming Lan is more than capable

4)Finally, Ming Lan is ordered to give an opinion b her teacher. She pses a questioin to Yuan Ruo and Gu. She asks them, if they had an accomplished concubine born son, would they let them inherit? Gu Ting Ye agrees yes, they should because ultimately it brings the family honor. Yuan Ruo disagrees because this path would insult the main line and shame the ancestors, but Gu Ting Ye says it would also shame the ancestors if they overlook the main heir. Gu Ting Ye tells Yuan Ruo he ignores human nature and isn't taking account that no great man would endure being overlooked in favor of an incapable person

5)Gu Ting Ye tells him he hopes he is not reborn as a concubine born (LOL) but the teacher points out, what conclusion have you reached. She says she has no conclusion. She says if the concubine born is virtuous he will help the legitimate heir lead, and if the legitimate heir is capable, he will not be insecure. She says ultimately all that matters is being a normal citizen and serving the emperor. Argument won by Ming Lan. All are impressed (this whole exchange is important to the plot later

6)Eldest brother is so impressed by this debate he reports it to their father. Later, as they leave class, they spy the personal servant of Yuan Ruo so the girls go back to the classroom to avoid another run in..But it is a setup. Yuan Ruo is waiting for her. He tells her no one is around and Ming Lan tries to leave but he stops her. Yuan Ruo explains that he just wants to know why she gave the brushes away. She explains that she gave it away in order to avoid provoking her sisters (but she said it in a more subtle way). She also gets mad at him for being obtuse, and says he will bring her trouble by paying attention to her. He basically confesses to her, and she tells him bascially that she understands that because of his talen they can't be together, and then she escapes. But Yuan Ruo is determined to have her in the future.

7) Second Brother Sheng explains to his mother, later, that he is not afraid to fail because he will just rely on his connections (oh dear). Meanwhile, Yuan Ruo is smarter about giving gifts--he gifts a ton of things to Sheng family asking that the girls select something as a thank you, and this is how he is able to slip in another, nicer paint brush to her. Ming Lan gifts him with a knee warmer she personally made (awwwwww!)

.8)Elsewhere, Gu Ting Ye is served dinner by Miniang. She is all lovey dovey and this causes a lecture form Nanny who believes he should be relaxing in other ways. the next day....the exams begin!
