Emperor Yongzheng defeated his brothers and ascended the throne, only to die exhausted after thirteen years, leaving behind ambitions unfulfilled. Unwilling to accept this fate, his soul wandered t...
Zhang Tingyu wanted to marry the man's daughter, so he naturally had to please his future father-in-law. He then went out of his way to find out Faka's preferences and tried to make his presence known to him whenever he had the chance.
So, what was the result? Although Faka didn't say anything, he was still satisfied with his son-in-law.
Faka's only wish was for her daughter to marry someone who would love and protect her. Zhang Tingyu had gone to such lengths, so Faka couldn't say anything more; as long as her daughter was happy, that was all that mattered.
And so, under Zhang Tingyu's guidance, Bobo made rapid progress.
Actually, what Bobo had to do was much easier than what Zhang Tingyu had to do, since Shi Zhenyun's father wouldn't treat Qiu Wen with the same affection as Faka.
Shi Wenbing didn't try to please Bobo in return because he had to consider the face of his Manchu noble status. Of course, Shi Wenbing wasn't that bad either, and he didn't really try to please or flatter Bobo.
What Bobo really needs to do is to please his mother-in-law. It is said that the more a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more satisfied she becomes. Jue Luo is such a mother-in-law. Bobo is willing to please her, so how could Jue Luo not be satisfied?
Actually, what Bobo did was just ordinary, but sometimes the same thing can have different effects when done by people of different statuses.
If the person who marries Shi Zhenyun is from a family of equal or lower status than the Shi family, then even if the other party does better than Bobo, in Jueluo's eyes it is all as it should be. My daughter is getting a good deal by marrying you, so what's wrong with you doing more?
Bobo's status is different. Although Lady Jue Luo loves her daughter, it feels different when a prince tries to please her for her daughter's sake. He didn't have to do these things, but he did. So, in Lady Jue Luo's eyes, her son-in-law is a first-class son-in-law.
Shi Zhenyun naturally saw this as well, and her thoughts were similar to those of Jue Luo. She felt that since he was willing to please my mother in order to marry me, it meant that he valued me no matter what.
No woman dislikes being valued.
