My old husband who can read minds

Chapter 31 Shen Yuan’s “bad” idea

A few days later, the Qin family suddenly invited an opera gang member into the house and announced that it was the old lady who wanted to listen to the opera.

The opera gang performs two plays every day, one at the beginning of the season and one at the end of the season.

What kind of drama are they singing?
It’s not the story of the rich girl meeting a hero to save her beauty, marrying a down-and-out scholar, and finally the scholar becomes prosperous, abandons his wife and marries another; it’s the story of the rich girl falling in love at first sight with the scholar who comes to Beijing to take the exam, and the two have a private life-long engagement. Later, the scholar is named on the gold medal list and leaves with regret. Another story about climbing a high branch...

The story of "Chen Shimei" was sung to Qin Minzhen in different ways every day. The little girl's pretty face turned pale and her eyes filled with tears, and she couldn't help but feel deeply involved.

The most amazing thing is that the old lady and the ladies from the third room who accompany the watch always comment a few words from the side, and then pretend to unintentionally mention that the heartless man of so-and-so family is really disgusting, and the lady of so-and-so house is really disgusting. Poor...everyone has a name and a well-documented record.

Poor Qin Minzhen was like a delicate flower that had been damaged by the storm. She began to doubt life.

The opera gang sang for five days in a row, performing a total of ten different versions of "Chen Shimei and Qin Xianglian". The end of each "Qin Xianglian" was particularly miserable.

In the most miserable version, the scholar was deliberately sent by a hostile family to seduce the young lady. In the end, the young lady was not only deceived and sold into a brothel, but her family members were framed and imprisoned and all died tragically.

Princess Hetai said meaningfully at the time: "If I give birth to such a stupid daughter, I will kill her myself without anyone else taking action, so that she will not harm the whole family in the future."

Qin Minzhen was so frightened that he was almost crumbling. When he left, he was supported by two maids.

She is not a fool!
How could she not understand that those plays were sung for her and those words were uttered for her to listen to? If she still didn't understand the good intentions of her family, then she would really become the "unbelievably stupid" fool her mother said. .

No one noticed that among the people who listened to the opera for the first two days, there was a woman in green clothes dressed as a woman. She frowned thoughtfully and then left in a hurry.

When the opera gang left the Hou Mansion, Qin Minzhen also fell ill. I don't know whether he was shocked or frightened.

Shen Yuan went over to untie her belly a few times, and her sister-in-law finally felt less depressed.

At first, Shen Yuan was a little worried about overcorrecting and not to give the little girl a psychological shadow later, but Qin Minzhen returned to life after three or five days.

But the shy smile between the girl's eyebrows disappeared and was replaced by the more dignified and steady Miss Qin Si.

15-year-old Qin Minzhen seems to have grown up overnight.

Shen Yuan sighed when she saw it: It's not that adults like them are cruel, but the price for her going the wrong way is too high, and no one can afford it, so they can only cut through the mess quickly.No one knew that on the night when the opera gang left, Qin Minzhen closed the door tightly, shedding tears silently in the room, and threw a palm-sized portrait into the charcoal stove and burned it to ashes.

The woman in the painting is exactly like her.

The days have returned to calm...

Since then, Qin Minzhen has stayed at home, staying with her mother and concentrating on studying the affairs of the family.

It wasn't until the end of April that a flower-viewing sticker from Wu'an Hou Mansion was delivered to her.

The Zhou family of Marquis of Wu'an and the Qin family of Marquis Wenxin were both second-class marquises. However, the Zhou family had a successor queen mother during the reign of the late emperor, so she was knighted and was not as highly respected as the Qin family.

Although the two families interacted with each other on weekdays, their friendship was only superficial.If we have to be related, it would be the old lady's cousin, the third aunt of the Xie family, who married Mr. Zhou Tuesday and is now the second wife of the Zhou family.

The person who posted the message to Qin Minzhen was Mrs. Tuesday's Miss Friday, and they were cousins.

What makes Shen Yuan and Qin He feel inappropriate is that the Wu'an Hou Mansion is not only the in-laws of the old lady's natal family, but also the natal family of Song Yunjin's biological mother, Lady Song's Mrs. Zhou.

The flower-appreciation post stated that only a few girls from the Qin family were invited to visit the house. It would obviously be inappropriate for the elders to follow.

But if the two little girls Qin Minzhen and Qin Minyan (the third and fifth girls) were allowed to go alone, there would be a sense of crisis.

After all, the grievances between the Qin and Song families were there, and Qin Minzhen had been tricked a few days ago. At this time, the Zhou family suddenly sent her flower appreciation stickers, which inevitably made people think that the other party had bad intentions.

Although there is currently no evidence pointing to Li Xu being a guest maintained by the Song and Zhou families, it still cannot be ruled out that the two are the primary suspects in the minds of Qin He and his wife.

Of course, it’s okay not to go to this flower viewing party.

It’s just that there is no way to guard against thieves for a thousand days. If you escaped this time, what about next time?

If the other party has a plan, they will always find an opportunity to strike. It is better to turn from passive to active and see if they can reveal the other party's trump card.
