Yes, Shiyi understands her husband's character. She is well aware that, in spite of his closeness and restraint, he loves his children, and will always protect and help them, regardless of the status of their mothers (other women in the family do not understand this). Shiyi is right, with his character and past, it is not possible to imagine a situation in which he left his child and his mother to the mercy of fate. This is contrary to his inner culture and heightened sense of duty. She is very wise. How she made it easier for him to talk by immediately declaring that she would take care of the child (it was not for nothing that he sighed like that) without putting forward any conditions. And then she generally gives him a “gift”, voicing the main problem associated with the appearance of a child, once again showing that she knows how to think strategically and puts the interests of the child and family above her own. Poor, he did not even count on such understanding and support. His mother is blind if she hopes that Linyi will be interested in her favorite. Perhaps he does not spend the night with his wife, but the fact that he trusts her and respects her is undoubtedly. She should have thought that he had asked his wife for help and had time to discuss everything with her, and that he was only informing her now. If Yuanyang had been his wife, he would never have done it. She would have been the first to know about her grandson, but now she is not. And in the context of previous events, everything looks sad for Liangfang. Shiyi managed to do what none of his women before her could - she became his friend and adviser. And given his nature, this is much more important than the nights spent together.
