What does the three-legged golden toad in Embroidered Spring Knife mean?

There is a saying that a toad with three legs is hard to find, and there are many women with two legs.

When we look at this story in combination with this proverb, the profound meaning is bound to be much more vivid. In fact, this is a way for Wei Gonggong to refuse in disguise. For father-in-law Wei, people like this are a dime a dozen around him. Lu wanted to catch a fish and entered the inner circle of father-in-law Wei, which was simply an idiotic dream.

So, looking for a toad. In fact, this is also Wei's father-in-law's disguised refusal to Liu. Here is also a disguised explanation to the audience: at that time, Wei Zhongxian was so powerful that it didn't need the loyalty of a thousand Royal Guards.

Although I couldn't find a three-legged toad, Zhang Yi smiled and accepted the development of the next plot, unlike being explicitly rejected by Wei Zhongxian.

So the meaning of this story should be: Lu swore allegiance to Wei Zhongxian, and Wei Zhongxian accepted Lu's intention, but did not dare to "accept it as his adopted son" directly, so he also euphemistically rejected Lu, but also gave Lu the opportunity to be the periphery of his own rights, so Lu finally thanked the factory for its kindness.
