Synopsis
EP6 Recap
Now installed in the main quarters, Changyu sets about winning over the household in earnest. She treats the servants with warmth and fairness, cooks communal meals that bring the staff together, and even mends a rift between two feuding maids. Her natural leadership ability, honed from years of managing her father's bustling butcher shop, begins to shine.
Aunt Liu, the head maid who was initially hostile, is won over when Changyu personally tends to her during a bout of illness, preparing herbal soups through the night. The transformation in the household's attitude toward their new mistress is dramatic and genuine.
Xie Zheng observes these changes from a distance, quietly impressed. He invites Changyu to share tea for the first time — an invitation she accepts with deliberate nonchalance, though her heart is racing. Their conversation is still stilted, but the walls between them are undeniably thinning.
