I headcanon that there are subconscious, emotional reasons for both of them failing. :) Hard to argue with, oh dear. I'm halfway through episode 29 now (I watch about half an episode a day, which I know is ridiculously slow) and it just doesn't seem to take that much convincing on Lao Gu's part for Chen Moqun to step in and save Lin Nansheng... . (Wang Yang is so good in these quieter scenes, oh dear.) (And in the parallel-universe where women survive being shot, Zhu Yizhen is being taken care of by Zhao Yunlan's mother! I'm sure it's coincidental but it surprised me very much.)
