After Shen Xingqian threw himself into the transformation of the law, he was afraid that it would bring life threats to Zhou Ying, so he resolutely rejected Zhou Ying's confession.
Later, after Shen Sihai's death, Shen Xingqiao specially returned to pay tribute to his father, and by the way, he handed over to Zhao Baishi the ledger that Shen Sihai secretly left behind to prove the evidence of Wang Ye's crime.
The purpose was to provide evidence for Zhao Baishi to overthrow Wang Ye.
At that time, along with the ledger, zhao Baishi also handed over a letter written by Shen Xingqiao, in which Shen Xingqian mentioned letting Zhao Baishi take care of Zhou Ying for the second half of his life.
After Zhao Baishi received Instructions from Shen Xingqian, he went to the Wu Family East Courtyard to find the fourth master to propose to him and confess to Zhou Ying.
So the question is, why did Zhao Baishi propose to Zhou Ying after Shen Xingqian agreed?
In fact, Zhao Baishi did this mainly because he was not sure whether Zhou Ying and Shen Xingshi were possible again, after all, what Zhou Ying really liked in her heart was Shen Xingshi.
Therefore, even if Zhao Baishi confessed in advance, Zhou Ying would not necessarily marry him.
After Shen Xing moved his own initiative to withdraw, Zhao Baishi went to propose marriage again, and the odds of winning would be higher.

If Shen Xingqiao did not mention letting Zhao Baishi take care of Zhou Ying for the rest of his life, would Zhao Baishi himself take the initiative to propose to Zhou Ying?
Privately thought not. The reason is Zhao Baishi's personality.
Zhao Baishi has a conservative personality, advocates self-denial and retribution, and is accustomed to hiding his feelings.
He was not as bold and warm as Shen Xingqian's love for Zhou Ying.
In the play, we can also see that Zhao Baishi's love for Zhou Ying is no worse than Wu Ping and Shen Xing, but one of the most fatal flaws in him is that he is too subtle and too obedient to the rules and etiquette.
Obviously, he already loved Zhou Ying to the bone, but he still used the sage book of self-denial and retribution to try to escape his feelings.
Like such a passive and conservative man, let him take the initiative to propose marriage and even compete with Shen Xingqiao for Zhou Ying, I think it is a very difficult thing.
First, Zhou Ying's widowhood, for Zhao Baishi, who abided by traditional etiquette, he did not have the courage to disregard the world's vision for Zhou Ying.
Otherwise, when Shen Xingqian and Turdan proposed to Zhou Ying, Zhao Baishi could have proposed to Zhou Ying, but Zhao Baishi did not do so, which shows that although he loves Zhou Ying, he still can't pass the worldly vision.
Second, compared with Zhao Baishi, it was obvious that Zhou Ying loved Shen Xingqian more.
Originally, he did not occupy the emotional advantage and was conservative and introverted, which meant that he would not compete with Shen Xingqian for Zhou Ying.

Zhao Baishi fell in love with Zhou Ying for a lifetime, and he could not be with Zhou Ying until the end.
But then again, is Zhao Baishi suitable for being with Zhou Ying?
I personally believe that Zhao Baishi and Zhou Ying have complementary personalities and careers, and if they have the opportunity to be together, they should be able to be happy for a lifetime.
First of all, from the perspective of personality, although Zhao Baishi is dull and introverted, Zhou Ying is lively and agile, quiet and moving, just complementary.
Generally speaking, two people who are too similar are together, and there will be some lack of fun and freshness.
For example, if both are introverts, if they are married, in daily life, if there is a quarrel, if the personalities of both sides are accustomed to hiding words in their hearts, then it is easy to have a cold war.
On the other hand, if one is introverted and the other is extroverted, when there is a conflict and dispute, the extrovert simply communicates smoothly, and each other will not be cold to the last shot and scatter.
Secondly, from a professional point of view, Zhao Baishi is in politics, Zhou Ying is in business, and the combination of politics and business is considered from the perspective of interests, and the combination of them is more beneficial than harmful to each other.

In other words, before Zhou Ying proposed to Zhao Baishi, did she know that Zhao Baishi liked herself?
I think with Zhou Ying's cleverness, she should know.
I remember that there is a plot in the play, in order to regain the machine weaving layout, the imperial court deliberately created a scandal between Zhao Baishi and Zhou Ying, claiming that Zhao Baishi was because he liked Zhou Ying, which handed over the huge profitable machine weaving layout to Zhou Ying to manage.
After hearing the rumors from the outside world, Zhou Ying was afraid that Wu Yi would misunderstand, so she explained to Wu Yi in person.
Wu Yi was cold to Zhou Ying because Zhao Baishi liked Zhou Ying, and when Zhou Ying touched her face, Wu Yi immediately wiped her face with disgust.
Zhou Ying, as a shrewd and capable wealthy female businessman, has no words to say about her ability to observe and observe colors, so she cannot fail to see Wu Yi's estrangement from herself.
No, after the front foot tested Wu Yi's thoughts, the back foot Zhou Ying talked to Zhao Baishi, let Zhao Baishi be kind to Wu Yi, and said that in the Wu family, in addition to Wu Ping, he had the best relationship with Wu Yi.
Why did Zhou Ying suddenly say these words to Zhao Baishi?
It was because she had already spied Zhao Baishi's intentions for herself from Wu Yi's attitude towards herself.
If you don't think this is obvious enough, there is another plot in the play to prove it.
Zhou Ying was falsely accused and imprisoned by Wu Yi, and Zhao Baishi came to visit her in prison.
Zhou Ying suddenly proposed to marry Zhao Baishi as a brother and sister.
The reason why Zhou Ying did this may be in an indirect response to Zhao Baishi's feelings.
After all, Zhao Baishi had already shown more enthusiasm than his friend for saving her at that time.
With Zhou Ying's ability to perceive people's hearts, she could not feel Zhao Baishi's heart for her.
As smart as she was, before Du Mingli bought the Hu family's old mansion, Zhou Ying could see at a glance that Du Mingli liked Hu Yongmei.
You say she can't see Old Zhao's thoughts?
Maybe it's just a deliberate choice to pretend to be deaf and dumb because they don't know how to respond.
