God, that man is sad. He does what he can to protect and help his daughter, but because he was instructed as a submissive intelligence operative, he can only do so in a way Meizhen can never be aware of.
 
he is altering memories not events yes
So he's just gaslighting his daughter when the bullies repeat insults, she calls them derivative and repetitive, and then that's taken as weird rando insult? Ois he toning down the physical altercation and keeping things to the verbal sniping when memory editing?
edit: I completely misunderstood what exactly was being memory edited.

He's editing the magnitude of the punishment. To go further risks Meizhen becoming another asshole snake that his wife was trying to fix.

Specifically he altered the memories of everyone involved for the caning to be the extent of the punishment, therefore she could take her elixir as soon as she got home.
 
I'm really looking forward to Meizhen's adoption. Hopefully we get an interlude of that moment, Meizhen is gonna be shocked, and her cachet is being vastly raised.

I am betting that very moment is also when Meizhen is gonna be told or made aware of, of just how much her Dad has been doing for her and her new legal parent.

Seems like just the sort of poison that would fit their snake den.
 
Meizhen told us she's been studying her mother's notes. I expect given to her by Suzhen. I also expect they'll offer some greater insight into the value of her father, even the respect that her mother had towards him.

But that's a very private thing.
 
She wasn't sure what was worse, Nuying's sneer as she spun the tale in her favor, or the pitying hangers on trying to talk to her on the way back. What just because she had finally lost her temper, she was to believe that there was suddenly sympathy, they were not simply looking for the chance to hurt her as well and earn favor with Nuying?
No. She'd dismissed them as they deserved for such obvious plotting.
Meizhen was in a sufficiently messed up headspace that she instinctively rejected any potential allies.
 
You guys are speaking about Adoption, like with Ling Nuan, but is this just some light theorizing and good old fun right? Or has there been some indications that it might actually happen?

Meizhen's aunt Suzhen basically flat out said that she's planning on officially adopting Meizhen as her daughter since she has no children of her own, and that'll be a big status boost for Meizhen since her parents have gone from being a non Bai and a dead one who was stricken from clan the clan rolls to the presumptive next White serpent Queen.
