Chapter 60: The backers are here!
Yu Shengsheng didn't care at all what was being sung.
When she was in the countryside before, she had never seen a troupe of actors. Only the occasional refugees passing by could sing a few lines of their songs in exchange for some wild vegetable buns to fill their stomachs.
When she first returned to the Su Mansion, Mrs. Su said that she wanted to invite a troupe of actors to perform to celebrate, but the old lady rejected it.
The old lady loves to listen to operas, otherwise the Su family would not have built a stage, but she refused.
Mrs. Su didn't dare to say anything more, and the matter ended up in nothing.
On Su Zhiyi's birthday the following year, a theatre troupe was invited, but because she made some mistake, the old lady punished her by making her write a letter of repentance in the yard.
Actually, this was her first time sitting under the stage.
But the original interest is gone.
Mrs. Su was busy greeting guests, and Old Lady Su was also accompanying a few old ladies, so they didn't listen carefully to what was being sung on the stage.
Suddenly a lady said, "It must be a play. How could such an outrageous thing happen in real life?"
"That's right. After raising her for so long, she turned out to be someone else's daughter. My own daughter has to eat coarse food and suffer so much."
Mrs. Su's hand shook as she poured tea and she almost scalded the guest.
The old lady suddenly turned her head and looked at the stands.
The woman singing opera has a melodious and beautiful voice of crying, which makes the listeners sad and cry.
"I was originally the daughter of a wealthy family, but ended up living in the countryside and became a miserable person..."
Yu Shengsheng looked up in surprise.
The woman was still singing.
"I was panicked when someone impersonated me. I was suffering alone."
Mrs. Su trembled slightly all over and the teapot in her hand fell. It was as if someone had ripped off her fig leaf in public, exposing her ugliest side to the world.
The Buddhist beads in the old lady's hand creaked, and she gritted her teeth and glanced at Zhao Ma. Zhao Ma understood and hurried to the backstage.
Su Dingqin on the second floor could not wait for anything backstage, and forgot that the prince was still there, so he just picked up the teacup.
With a "pop", the teacup exploded at the actor's feet.
The singers, the gong players, and the audience were all startled.
The scene was silent.
The actor was so frightened that he knelt down immediately.
Su Dingqin asked angrily: "Who told you to sing this kind of opera? It's my sister's birthday party, a great day, what are you singing!"
The actor trembled and answered, "I... I don't know either. It was the boss's order."
At this time, Nanny Zhao came back from the backstage and whispered a few words in the old lady's ear.
The old lady's face was as gloomy as water, and the anger in her eyes seemed to be unable to be suppressed.
She turned around and glanced at Yu Shengsheng, wishing she could turn her gaze into a sword and kill her in one blow.
He looked away and forced a smile.
"The troupe was careless for a moment and sang the wrong piece. Ladies and gentlemen..."
Before he could finish his words, Su Dingqin had already gone downstairs and headed straight for the backstage.
Today is a good day. Although he is a warrior and doesn't care about feng shui, he never brings weapons to Su Zhiyi's birthday party.
As soon as they arrived backstage, he punched the troupe owner from backstage to the stage.
The old lady was also interrupted.
The troupe leader somersaulted and rolled all the way to the edge of the stage, with his neck resting on the edge.
Su Dingqin took a step forward and stepped on his chest.
"Tell me, why do you want to sing this kind of play? Why do you want to sing this inferior play?"
His face was full of anger and his eyes were wide open. He had been to the battlefield and was full of murderous intent. The class owner had never seen anything like this before. He was beaten and frightened and almost suffocated.
"General, spare my life... I did not change the play without permission, it was..."
"What is it!" Su Dingqin stepped hard.
The boss spat out another mouthful of blood.
The old lady was trembling with anger. This Ding Qin was really too reckless.
Otherwise, why would he be sent back from the battlefield by his father, otherwise why would she place the hopes of her family on Yanshu!
What would the guests think if this happened in public? Could the life stories of Su Zhiyi and Yu Shengsheng be kept secret?
"Dingqin, stop it," the old lady said in a deep voice, suppressing her anger, "Today is your sister's birthday, how can you see blood?"
Su Dingqin was furious. He heard it, but at this moment it was as if he didn't hear it.
He had to have an answer.
"Hurry up and tell me!"
The troupe owner helplessly grasped his calf with both hands, panting and saying, "It was... it was our cousin who asked us to change the play."
Su Dingqin suddenly looked up, with a look of ferocious beast in his eyes, and was about to break out of his confinement and pounce on Yu Shengsheng to tear him to pieces.
Everyone also turned around and looked at Yu Shengsheng.
Yu Shengsheng's face was pale as he sat there alone, his eyes like arrows, shooting towards her.
She didn't know why the class owner said that, she didn't even know him.
Facing the gazes of the crowd and Su Dingqin, she slowly stood up and walked towards the stage.
As Mrs. Su passed by her, she suddenly came to her senses and grabbed her.
"Shengsheng!"
Yu Shengsheng broke free from her and continued walking forward.
He walked to the side of the stage and looked into the troupe leader's eyes as he lowered his head.
The boss's head was upside down, and the world in his eyes was upside down.
Yu Shengsheng asked calmly: "Look at my face carefully. Is it me who is looking for you?"
"Yes... yes, there is a new scar under my eye."
Su Dingqin's voice could not hide the strong anger: "What else do you have to say?"
Yu Shengsheng didn't look at him and asked again: "What did I say? Did I also sing the lyrics?"
The troupe owner looked away: "The lyrics are... are..."
What was it? How was he going to say it? A female guard gave it to him? And a three hundred tael silver note was also given to him?
He guessed that there must be something behind the sudden change of the play, but he had performed in many banquets and visited countless wealthy families, so he knew the things that happened in the rear quarters.
After weighing the pros and cons, it's nothing more than changing the play to cause some trouble between women. I'll get scolded, and at most I won't have to pay. But even if I do, the money I do get won't be as much as three hundred taels.
Driven by interests, he agreed.
Who would have thought that I would almost lose my life.
Su Dingqin sneered: "What's the point of you saying this? He has already pointed out you!"
Yu Shengsheng then looked up at him and said, "Major General, do you really believe what a stranger says?"
"What are you angry about?" Yu Shengsheng's every word pierced her heart. "Are you angry that the play was sung incorrectly, or that the play was sung correctly?"
Su Dingqin's eyes were filled with anger, and he stared down at Yu Shengsheng: "You!"
He kicked the class owner hard and pushed him aside. The class owner exhaled and fainted. Everyone on the stage screamed.
Su Dingqin ignored him completely, clenched his fists, jumped off the stage, and was about to attack Yu Shengsheng.
The old lady's heart was about to jump out of her chest, and she couldn't breathe smoothly even when she wanted to speak.
Mrs. Su was already frightened silly.
At this moment, a voice shouted angrily: "Brother, stop it!"
But Su Dingqin couldn't stop. Yu Shengsheng's words just now were like a slap in the face to him in public, making him look directly into his own heart.
But he couldn't, and didn't dare to look directly.
He knew that Yu Shengsheng had been wronged, but he had no choice.
Su Dingqin raised his hand and a gust of cold wind blew towards him, sharp and carrying murderous intent.
He quickly dodged, and the crossbow arrow passed by his wrist, and the wrist guard fell to the ground and broke into two pieces.
The prince, who had already stood up on the second floor, looked in the direction where the arrow came from.
Not only Su Yanshu came back, there was also a man who had an injured right leg and was carried by two people.
The Crown Prince of Nanshun, Kong Dezhao.
