Chapter 20 The Theater
Qiqiao must have been stunned by her fall, but she didn't know how to help her up.

Just as Shen Cu was about to get up, Qi Shilang came.

"Still up?" Qi Shilang's face turned dark.

"Go back to the house and don't come out until the birthday banquet is over." Qi Shilang reprimanded in a voice that only Shen Tu could hear.

"Understood." Although she felt sad and indignant, but this time it was her fault, and there was no reason to quibble.

"Qiqiao, go back to the house."

"Miss, where did you fall?"

"Go back to the house and talk."

With the departure of the "protagonist of the accident", the quiet compound became lively again.

"You're laughing, my little one has no rules, don't pay attention to her." Qi Shilang apologized even though he couldn't hold back his face anymore.

The most deserted place today might be Shen Cuo's courtyard on the west side.

"Miss, just..."

"Someone tripped me on purpose."

"Who?"

"I did not notice."

After she fell, she only cared about the pain, and when she went back to look for it, she didn't know who tripped her.

"Who is this, so immoral." Qiqiao said angrily.

Shen Tu wondered, how many enemies does this white lotus have?
"Qiqiao, go back and show me if this arm is broken." The elbow must be bleeding and it hurts.

In the front yard, the guests were still having fun.

Xiao Shilian was also frowning like Pei Xi.

He saw Shen Tu clearly before and after he fell, "Whose family does that person belong to?"

Xiao Shilian naturally knew who he was asking, "That's the second son of Mu Guogong and the third wife, Mu Chi."

"Mu Chi?" Pei Xi said, "I've never heard of this person."

"My lord is not often in the capital, this son is Mu Guogong's favorite." Xiao Shili said.

"Oh? It's Duke Mu's favorite, no wonder."

"My lord, don't be angry, Mr. Mu must be used to being naughty." Xiao Shili said again.

"Since he is so naughty, he should serve for our Daqi's army, don't you think so? Young Master Xiao."

Xiao Shilian just smiled and didn't speak.

"Qiqiao, has the theatrical troupe started yet?" On the couch, Shen Tu showed her arms and her skirt pants were rolled up.

"Yes." The ointment prescribed by the doctor who was beaten last time is still there, and Qiqiao is applying it on Shen Tu's broken wound.

This troupe invited the best troupe in the capital, and she also wanted to see the differences and differences between the operas sung by the best troupe in the capital.

Helpless, villains harmed her, and if she knew who these villains were, she would definitely "repay" them back.

"Why didn't you see the second lady of the Qi family?" Pei Xi asked Xiao Shilian curiously because he had never met the second lady of the Qi family.

"Brother, how is this future sister-in-law?" Xiao Shiyi also asked.

"Well, it's all right." Xiao Shilian replied.

"I don't know if Young Master Xiao is willing to tell this king about your good story."

"I'm afraid I will disappoint the prince," Xiao Shilian refused, "There is nothing special about it."

"Oh?" Pei Xi didn't seem to want to know, "Since Mr. Xiao is unwilling to say it, then the king will not force it."

"Come on, let's go and see what this troupe is singing."

"Yes."

"My lord, this way."

"Young Master Xiao is very familiar with the Qi residence."

The drums and music are loud outside the house, but she can only stay in the house, accompanied by Qiqiao and candied fruit.

"Qiqiao, left."

"Is the miss here?"

"Push harder."

……

It has been raining heavily for the past few days, but it cleared up this morning, and the guests left completely in the evening.

The old lady was disturbed for a whole day, and after the guests had left, she went back to her room to rest.

When Yu Cai came to call her, she knew it was not a good thing.

"Today I told you not to piss me off, did you listen to my words?" Qi Shilang's brows were full of anger.

She was also wronged, "Someone tripped me on purpose today."

"Trip you? Then tell me, who tripped you?"

"I do not know."

"You don't know?" Qi Shilang became angry, so he walked back and forth non-stop, as if this could reduce his anger.

"I think you're just quibbling. Today is your grandmother's birthday banquet. So many dignitaries come to celebrate your grandmother's birthday. It's better for you to embarrass our family in front of so many people."

Qi Shilang is the one who cares about face the most, no one can tell him to lose face.

It was indeed her fault today, although the villain tripped over it on purpose, but it was indeed the Qi family's face that was lost.

"I made a mistake today, and I'll let my father decide whether to beat me or punish me."

"For ten days, you are not allowed to step out of the courtyard."

"Yes, Daddy."

So Shen Tu stayed in the house for ten whole days, with the couch as his companion every day.

As soon as the ten-day period was over, she slipped out through the small door with Qiqiao.

Ever since she asked Chanjuan to search the two sets of men's clothes that day, she didn't plan to bother with disguises anymore, at least not on such occasions.

You need to buy a ticket to enter the theater building, and the price of the ticket determines the location of the theater.

Shen Tu has no money, so he can only choose the cheapest corner. Apart from being cheap, it has another advantage, that is, it is hidden, and it is rare for anyone to set their sights on this corner.

Today, there will be a performance of "Blessed Lovers" in the theater. Shen Cu never thought that Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai's affairs could be seen here.

And this is already the third time she has come back to watch this drama, and the plot is exactly the same every time, it's not that she likes it so much, it's probably the only thing she has in common with this place.

The best place in this theater building is the private room on the second floor. The people who come to this private room are either high-ranking officials or dignitaries. Some women want to marry into these people's homes and become concubines, so they often dress up beautifully. Which one do you want to call? The master or son fell in love at first sight, and from then on she could live in luxury.

"Miss, look, is that the elder uncle?"

The little maid has sharp eyes, and it is her first time here, so she is inevitably a little excited, so she likes to look around.

"Eldest son-in-law is still hugging a woman." Qiqiao said in surprise.

"Not big sister?"

"No." Qiqiao shook her head like a rattle.

When there are too many people, there will be chaos. No, the show just started, and I saw things that I shouldn't have seen.

She hadn't seen where her eldest brother-in-law was, so she asked Qiqiao, "Where is he?"

"There." Qiqiao stretched out her finger and pointed to the second floor.

No, she was right.

Although the second floor is a private room, but the stage is downstairs, so the private room is half open, and people downstairs can see the people in the private room when they raise their heads, unless they stay inside, they cannot see of.

That person is not the eldest brother-in-law.The woman in her arms is heavily made up and charming, there is no man who doesn't love her.

Look at those soft eyes, the soul of the eldest brother-in-law will be hooked away.

"Is the eldest brother-in-law taking a concubine?" She asked Qiqiao.

Qiqiao shook her head, "I didn't hear that the eldest son-in-law married again."

The eldest sister Qi Yu was already married when Shen Cu came here, and she had never met this elder brother-in-law a few times, she only knew that it was the eldest wife Qin Yurong, the eldest son of the Duke's family.
