If it was Saraf who cut the scene *CURSES* If it was the director, he may have done it for either ambiguity to keep you guessing about what happened/ what is to come, or use it in a flashback, or to reduce redundancy, pacing, or to save time. They are nice scenes but I don't think it affected the story, I wouldn't be surprised if there will be more amazing scenes later. Although I haven't read the novel nor a synopsis, it will be interesting to see where this story goes. So far yin ing thinks of him only as a brother for obvious reasons and contrary to what she thinks, it is obvious that some part of herself is still connected to the Marquis. Lu shen yuan having reason to believe that she is not his real sister is trying so hard to hide his feelings, but she clearly takes a backseat to his ultimate goal. I wish he would balance it more and seriously take to heart that there are people who care about him, but I love his schemes, like his grandmother says, he is sooo clever.
