Chapter 69 Ruthless
Shen Wei arrived at the back of the stage just in time.
The female relatives and the male relatives from outside the family were seated separately, in two courtyards, one on the left and one on the right. The male relatives from outside the family who came to celebrate the birthday sat on the left, and the female relatives of officials sat on the right. The courtyard was separated by a wall in the middle.
The stage is placed right in the center.
This was a temporary platform built by the servants of the Marquis' Mansion. There was a raised stage in the front and several wooden partitions in the back, which were used for changing makeup and preparation.
Shen Wei carried the cake and walked into the room at the back.
"Miss, when he came over just now, the Marquis seemed to have seen you." Xiaoman followed Shen Wei closely and glanced towards the central position behind the left, with worry in her eyes.
"Xiao Man doesn't understand. The Marquis loved you so much in the past, and even agreed to let you go out to learn martial arts. Why now... now he can't even change the script? And it was the Madam who agreed."
"Madam is most familiar with the rules of the inner house. If she says it's okay, it will naturally not cause a joke."
"Girl, why is the Marquis so capricious all of a sudden?"
Shen Wei just smiled faintly and touched Xiaoman's head: "You will know later."
"Take out everything and get ready."
"Is Aunt Zhao here yet?"
Xiaoman pointed to the rightmost room and said, "Aunt Zhao is in there. She's ready."
"When the curtain falls, it will be our turn to perform."
"Even though Xie Yuchuan ordered the original script to be used, the effect will be greatly reduced, but no matter what the result is, we have to give it a try."
From the moment of customizing the advertisement, Shen Wei had already figured out how to promote the cake.
After the opera is over, what kind of appearance should be used to attract people's attention and be accepted by people of this era?
In order to ensure smooth promotion, Shen Wei asked Qin Shuyu to take care of all the subsequent details.
The day of the birthday banquet is approaching.
Shen Wei thought of many possible accidents, but he didn't expect that Xie Yuchuan would block his way at this critical moment. No, it should not be said that he didn't expect it, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.
In order to clip her wings and force her to stay in the Marquis' Mansion, Xie Yuchuan finally showed his villain side.
Too,
No matter what Shen Wei did in the past, she was ultimately dancing in Xie Yuchuan's hands.
But now Shen Wei no longer desires the position of the main wife, no longer clamors for exclusive favor, and no longer shouts for lifelong companionship, because she is trying to take back her own destiny and escape this cage.
How could someone like Xie Yuchuan allow the pet he is interested in to escape from his control?
Naturally break her wings, let her face the reality and re-attach herself to him.
"girl!!"
"what happened?"
"Girl, this opera doesn't seem right. It seems... it doesn't seem to be the original. It seems to be the one you modified!"
The sudden words made Shen Wei gather his thoughts.
She immediately listened attentively.
Outside the stage, Wen Lan's painful voice begging for mercy was heard.
This is the story of Wen Lan who got tuberculosis and was driven out of the house by Ning Feng's family.
wrong!
wrong!
The original plot was not like this. The original development was that after Wen Lan was squeezed dry of benefits, the old lady despised her family background and drove her out of the house. As a result, not long after, the old lady contracted the plague.
Wen Lan didn't get sick in the original plot, so what's being performed on stage now... is the script she modified?
How can this be?
“Bang, bang, bang…”
Shen Wei was shocked and his heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
Even Aunt Zhao, who was in the next room on the right, rushed out in shock after hearing this incompatible plot, and quickly found Shen Wei to ask, "Weiwei, this line is wrong!"
"Why do I feel like it's the one you revised?"
"Didn't you say last night...didn't you say that the Marquis rejected your revised version and used the original one? What's going on today?"
Shen Wei came back to his senses in shock.
She immediately stuck to the crack of the door and looked towards the front desk.
She saw Xie Yuchuan, who didn't react at first, but after slowly reacting, his face suddenly became extremely ugly.
She saw Qin Shuyu standing next to Old Madam Hou. Her peaceful face was as calm and peaceful as ever. Qin Shuyu turned her head and glanced in the direction of the next door on the left.
Although Qin Shuyu couldn't see Xie Yuchuan, for some reason, a smile and arrogance appeared in his eyes.
and also!
There were also the wives of officials who looked puzzled and talked a lot, as well as the powerful and wealthy men outside the country who watched with great interest.
"It's Miss Qin."
Just a few glances.
Shen Wei understood the reason. She turned her head and looked at Aunt Zhao who was at a loss: "Yesterday Xie Yuchuan did reject the script I revised. I thought there was no hope, but now it seems..."
"I don't know why Miss Qin asked the stage to sing a different version."
"There are only three masters in this huge mansion. Xie Yuchuan and Madam Hou can't help me. Only Miss Qin can help me!"
"But, but..." Aunt Zhao was shocked: "Why would Madam Ke do this? She is usually the most docile and polite, how could she disobey the Marquis's order?"
"Last time, Madam offered to protect me and gave up the Marquis's heir, and was punished by the old lady to copy Buddhist scriptures."
"This time, why did she......"
No one knows why.
How could Qin Shuyu, who has always been conservative and a noble lady in Beijing who has been brought up as a lady for more than ten or twenty years, do such a rebellious thing?
Even Shen Wei at this moment didn't know what Qin Shuyu was thinking right now.
Why choose to use the revised script at the risk of offending Xie Yuchuan?
"Aunt Zhao, no matter what the reason is, our chance has come. Go back and get ready. All the rich and powerful women in the capital are here today. Whether it will work or not depends on this one move."
"Okay, okay, I'll go now."
Aunt Zhao patted her pounding heart and went back to the next compartment.
at the same time.
The plot is progressing.
Although the ladies sitting in front of the stage were puzzled by the different plot development, they accepted it and said nothing. They all watched the subsequent developments intently.
They watched as Wen Lan contracted tuberculosis and was kicked out of the house by her mother-in-law and Ning Feng.
Wen Lan fell to the ground with a pale face, holding her chest and crying. Her crying made the hearts of the women present ache: "Ning Lang, I have tuberculosis and I don't have much time left."
"I don't want any status, nor do I ask for your favor. I just want to be a daughter-in-law of the Ning family in life and a ghost of the Ning family in death. Why don't you even agree to this request of mine?"
"In order to help you get a good career, my father has sold the Wen family's property and shops to pave the way for you in the court. Now that our family has fallen on hard times, you divorce me at this time."
"How can you be so heartless and ungrateful!"
This line landed.
The whole audience fell into silence.
All the women in the family frowned, obviously unable to bear to hear such a good man being insulted, but they also felt that what Wen Lan said made some sense, so they all swallowed their dissatisfaction.
