After hearing this, Lin Yuelou's eyes flashed with a subtle but very pleasant light, "Oh, really? In that case, it seems I have to work harder this afternoon."

Wen Zhu couldn't help but chuckle at his words, then added gently, "My young mistress is usually very kind and cheerful, and she always cherishes and protects the things she loves with all her heart. Furthermore, she comes from a prestigious family like the Shangshu Mansion, so it's natural for her to possess such power."

After hearing Wen Zhu's words, Lin Yuelou couldn't help but nod in agreement and smiled back, "Indeed, you are absolutely right."

Then, considering that the next performance would require sufficient physical support, Wen Zhu suggested: "Then you should find some food to recover your strength first. You still have a very important performance next. I have to leave now. I wish you good luck!"

After saying this, she gracefully left his sight.

In the eyes of the upper class, artists like actors are often just tools for entertainment.

Many high-ranking officials with special hobbies tend to choose some young and handsome members of the opera troupe to satisfy their needs as informal partners. I am afraid that Lin Yuelou has encountered many such problems that gave him a headache.

But for those who are unwilling to submit to power, this situation is indeed a huge problem.

Rather than helplessly accepting the fate of being supported by a rich man, it would be better to find a female protector who has both status and can appreciate his talents.

Doing so can not only maintain your self-esteem to a certain extent, but also gain tangible benefits.

This man named Lin Yuelou seems to be quite good at the art of handling interpersonal relationships, but it is still unknown to what extent he can reach.

At this moment, Zhao Manxiang's mind was filled with all kinds of thoughts about Fu Zhiyao.

Opening someone's heart is not an easy task.

After resting for a while, Wen Zhu felt his energy had returned, so he stood up and once again came to the gate of Qifangyuan to request to meet Zhao Manxiang.

However, because he had not been able to catch up on his sleep just now, when Wen Zhu entered the room, he found that Zhao Manxiang still looked a little exhausted. She was yawning loudly and struggling to wake herself up completely to prepare for the challenges of a new day's work.

She washed her face and sat in front of the mirror in front of the dressing table. She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time. Finally, she couldn't help but ask Wen Zhu who was standing beside her: "How do you think I look? I don't feel very energetic this morning."

"You look fine, just a little haggard. In fact, if you put on a little makeup, you would look more radiant."

Wen Zhu looked at Zhao Manxiang's cheek carefully and suggested seriously.

"Then please help me put on some light makeup."

After hearing such comments, Zhao Manxiang hesitated in her heart, but still spoke to Wen Zhu, hoping to use makeup to cover up her slightly tired look.

Hearing this, Wen Zhu carefully took out the cosmetics, first gently applied some liquid foundation on Zhao Manxiang, then spread it evenly with a powder puff, and then added some blush on her pale cheeks to make her face more lively.

After a busy period, Zhao Manxiang, who originally looked pale and weak, immediately showed a different kind of vitality and beauty.

After dressing up, Zhao Manxiang looked more lively and beautiful than usual, as if even the air had become brighter.

"You're really skillful with your hands."

After noticing this, Zhao Manxiang couldn't help but praise Wen Zhu, although her tone still sounded calm and indifferent.

"Thank you for the compliment. Actually, it's mainly because you have a good foundation. No matter how you dress, you will always look stunning."

After hearing this, Wen Zhu responded with a smile, and as he spoke, he helped Zhao Manxiang who was about to go out.

As they walked out of the room and along the corridor, Wen Zhu tentatively whispered in order to break the silence between them, "By the way, what do you think of the play we watched this morning?"

"It's not bad, but I think Miss Li's idea is a bit too naive. Once you meet a man like Pei Shaojun who doesn't keep his promise, or his family doesn't recognize it at all, does that mean you can only be his mistress for the rest of your life?"

When talking about this, Zhao Manxiang shook her head, her voice small but full of worry.

After hearing this, Wen Zhu couldn't help but sigh, "That's true. However, I think if a person has never experienced true love in their life, they will always have regrets. Just like Miss Li, bravely pursuing your own love can at least prove that your youth has not been wasted."

After saying these words, Wen Zhu lowered his eyes and his voice became even softer.

However, this sentence seemed to have touched a sensitive nerve in Zhao Manxiang's heart, causing her to suddenly show annoyance. Her cold eyes swept towards Wen Zhu beside her like a sharp blade: "Look at how relaxed you are in saying this. You really know how to enjoy life."

Realizing that she had inadvertently angered her master, Wen Zhu was filled with panic and quickly lowered her head to express regret: "I was wrong. As a maid, how could I have the right to hope for love? I was just envious of those daughters born into wealthy families, not referring to others..."

As he spoke, he looked at Zhao Manxiang with almost pleading eyes, hoping that the latter could forgive his slip of the tongue.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Manxiang simply pushed away Wen Zhu who was blocking her way and walked forward alone.

At this moment, the thought that kept coming to her mind was: since coming into this world, she had never experienced the indescribable emotional bond between a man and a woman...

Such a life trajectory is undoubtedly a huge flaw for any woman; whenever Zhao Manxiang thinks of this, she feels more and more annoyed and painful, and vents all her resentment on the culprit who once caused her to lose many beautiful things!

After arriving at the destination, Zhao Manxiang, full of anger, found a place to sit down.

The theater will be performing "Romance of the West Chamber" in the afternoon.

As we all know, the male lead Zhang Junrui is played by the famous actor Lin Yuelou.

As time went on, the show finally began.

As soon as Lin Yuelou appeared on stage, she began to sing emotionally: "A deep spring melancholy is reflected on her eyebrows, a hint of shyness appears on her cheeks. Every step she takes is like a willow branch swaying in the wind, and her voice is like a yellow oriole singing among the flowers. Such a beautiful woman is hard to find in the world..."

His voice is deep and magnetic, every line of his lyrics seems to be a call from the soul, and every word can touch the softest part of the listener's heart.

The singing and emotions of this "Zhang Junrui" are very moving, and his eyes are very expressive. When his gaze sweeps across the audience, he seems to be looking at the people below with affection.
