Your Downfall Is My Justice - Episode 7

Villagers spread a rumor that Portia has a sugar daddy and her relatives conspire to freeze her bank card and sack her adoptive mother to force her back. At the Locke household Portia is given a special tonic, told the marriage is an act, and argues about small comforts like who showers first. After the soup causes a reaction she cries, "Don't hurt my mom!"—someone threatens her family in a nightmare scene. The Locke matriarch insists, "You're Mrs. Locke now... I won't let anyone bully you," leaving Portia protected for now but besieged by outside schemes.
