Lo Pingsha escorted the captured people back to the Justice Department.
Logically speaking, there was no need to tell Duke Lang about such a small matter. However, since it concerned the Princess Consort, Lo Pingsha hesitated for a while before finally looking for Duke Lang.
He told him about his experience in Qirui Garden.
Xiao Juan did not understand why Niaoniao suddenly started the business of a theater. He only felt that this was Niaoniaoâs latest hobby, so he did not think too much about it.
When it was time to leave, Xiao Juan left the Justice Department and rode back to the Regional Kingâs Mansion.
On the way, he heard someone mention Qirui Gardenâs new show and how good it was. The person praised it so much that her saliva flew everywhere.
On a whim, Xiao Juan suddenly changed direction and decided to go to Qirui Garden to take a look.
He knew that his identity was special. If he went directly, it would definitely cause a commotion and affect the business of Qirui Garden. Therefore, he specially changed his clothes before going.
Recently, Qirui Garden had been performing Duke Lang in Liaodong every day. The scene was full.
Almost every day, as soon as the door opened, all the opera tickets were sold out.
Xiao Juan did not have tickets and could not enter Qirui Garden.
He could only give up and prepare to leave. However, just as he turned around, he was stopped.
âBrother-in-law!â
Xiao Juan stopped in his tracks and looked in the direction of the voice. He saw Yu Pingping walking out of the theater.
When she saw Duke Langâs back just now, she was still a little uncertain. She only called out to him tentatively. Seeing him turn around and look at her, she confirmed his identity.
Yu Pingping quickly ran down the steps. âBrother-in-law, why are you here?â
Xiao Juan said, âIâm just walking around.â
Yu Pingpingâs heart skipped a beat. âYouâre here for our new show, right?â
Xiao Juan had already learned about the new scene from Lo Pingsha. He knew that the protagonist of Qirui Gardenâs new scene was based on him. He was indeed a little curious and wanted to see what kind of image he had in the show.
He said calmly, âI didnât get a ticket.â
Yu Pingping immediately said, âYouâre my brother-in-law and the owner of our Qirui Garden. Why would you need to buy a ticket to watch a show here?
Letâs go, letâs go. Iâll bring you in.â
Xiao Juan silently followed her into the theater.
Not only did the assistant at the door not stop Xiao Juan this time, but he also appeared especially enthusiastic.
âPlease come in.â
Seeing this, the people at the door who could not enter the theater because they could not buy tickets were very indignant.
Someone couldnât help but shout.
âWhatâs going on? Didnât they say that all the tickets for today were sold out? Why can the two of them still enter? Could it be that you still have hidden tickets and are unwilling to sell them to us?â This shout immediately attracted many people to agree.
âThatâs right! Youâre differentiating treatment. Itâs unfair!â
The assistant at the door hurriedly explained, âMiss Yu is our bossâs sister and our manager. She doesnât need a theater ticket to enter or leave.â
The person immediately pointed at Xiao Juan.
âWhat about him? Why doesnât he have to buy a ticket?â
The shop assistant did not know Xiao Juan and could not answer. He could only look at Yu Pingping for help.
Yu Pingping immediately said, âThis is my brother-in-law. My sister is the boss here. Weâre all family. Why does he need a ticket? Do you have to pay to eat at your wifeâs house?â
That person was immediately speechless.
The others also shut up resentfully.
The assistant couldnât help but take a few more glances at Xiao Juan. He didnât expect this man to be the bossâs husband. He was really imposing!
Xiao Juan followed Yu Pingping into the theater.
He glanced at the people still guarding the entrance of the theater from the corner of his eye and asked softly.
âWhy donât you sell more tickets?â
Yu Pingping explained, âLook at our place. Itâs only so big. Thereâs a limit to the number of customers we can receive. Thereâs no choice but to sell so many tickets. â
Xiao Juan said, âThen letâs change to a bigger place.â
Yu Pingping said, âHow can we have so much money? Just renting this garden almost emptied my sisterâs savings. If she hadnât made some money selling recipes recently, we wouldnât even have the money to buy costumes and accessories.â
As she spoke, she led Xiao Juan to the private room on the second floor.
Xiao Juan said, âI heard that someone came to cause trouble here today?â Yu Pingping was angry when she mentioned this.
âThatâs right! Itâs that guy called Zhu Kui who bullied others and smashed our tables and chairs. Fortunately, your Eagle Guards appeared in time to uphold justice for us, so we didnât let them destroy Qirui Garden.â
âThe troupe master already added new tables, chairs, and cups. In order to appease the frightened guests, all the tea today is free.â
At this point, her heart ached.
If they lost so much money for tea, it was equivalent to their business today being wasted.
Xiao Juan walked into the private room and sat down by the window.
He glanced downstairs and saw that the lanterns had all been extinguished. Only the lanterns and candlesticks around the stage were still lit.
The audience, who were still chatting happily, stopped talking and looked at the stage quietly.
Yu Pingping said as she poured tea, âBrother-in-law, you came at the right time. The most exciting scene is about to start.â
With that, she quickly sat down and craned her neck to look downstairs, her eyes filled with anticipation.
The red curtain on the stage was slowly pulled open.
This play was about Duke Lang discovering that there were spies from an enemy country hidden in the army and fighting with them.
During the process, Duke Lang did not hesitate to risk his life and almost died. Fortunately, at the critical moment, the County Princess appeared with her men and helped him deal with the bad people.
Yu Pingping looked at the male and female leads who fought hand in hand on the stage and did not leave each other. Her eyes were filled with envy.
She also wanted this kind of immortal love!
Xiao Juan was stunned.
This was something he had experienced personally. He had thought that no one would know about all of this.
Unexpectedly, it actually appeared in front of everyone in this form.
Ye Yin was indeed a famous actor. The Duke Lang he played was one against a hundred. The long saber in his hand was swung in a myriad of ways. His movements were beautiful and neat, causing the audience below the stage to cheer and clap like thunder.
Facing the siege of the enemy, he did not give in at all. He pressed forward with passion just to protect the people of this land.
Yu Pingping clapped hard.
Although this was not the first time she had seen it, she still felt very affected.
In the end, the spy was captured and the enemyâs plot was destroyed. The county governor ordered the return of the land, and the commoners returned home happily in the most perfect outcome.
However, the background on the stage changed.
Duke Lang and the Princess Consort were assassinated on the way back to the capital with the Eagle Guards.
Because they had asked for the land back for the commoners, they had seriously violated the interests of the local powerhouses. Wave after wave of killers attacked them.
They had just finished dealing with a group of assassins, but they could not stop to rest. They had to force themselves to continue traveling.
The Princess Consort played by Liu Sixing asked, âThis path is dangerous. Itâs unknown if youâre dead or alive. Do you regret it?â
Prince Lang, played by Ye Yin, replied without hesitation in his powerful voice.
âNo regrets..â
