Did he peek at the script in Chapter 876?
Zhao Yun'er's lips twitched slightly, and she continued to ask, "Is the background of the photo a clinic?"
Ye Wanxi smiled faintly and raised her hand to make a crossed gesture.
Everyone was completely bewildered: "What does this mean?"
Ye Wanxi faced the crowd and held up her hand.
"Ten?" Gu Shaoling paused for a moment after saying that, then widened her eyes and said, "It's not the one I'm thinking of, is it?"
Ye Wanxi smiled, perhaps feeling that her explanation wasn't very intuitive, and turned to look at the director.
The director felt a chill run down his spine from her gaze and said in a harsh voice, "What are you doing?"
"You should have backups of these prop photos, right?" Ye Wanxi said, spreading her palm out to him.
The director instinctively wanted to refuse, but before he could say anything, he met the meaningful look in the eyes of the sponsor.
"..." Well, I can't afford to offend them!
A few seconds later, the props teacher shakily pulled a photo out of the pencil case and handed it to Ye Wanxi.
Several guests immediately gathered around, and after seeing the contents of the photo...
Guests: “…”
Viewers in the live stream: "..."
Lin Yuxiu: "?!"
The photo shows Lin Yuxiu, who has been photoshopped, wearing a pretty little dress and standing in front of a clinic. A huge cross is pasted on the clinic's door, as if afraid people wouldn't know what the clinic is for.
[Snatching bamboo shoots! Snatching bamboo shoots! And then putting this sign on a building like this just doesn't fit in at all.]
[Hahaha, try rotating this cross by 45 degrees, and you'll see why it doesn't fit.]
[Holy crap, what a talent! Hahahaha, turning it 45 degrees doesn't work, does it? The clinic's been shut down; this second young master of the Yang family must be running a shady clinic.]
[And that mesmerizing peace sign! I just want to know whose body this is. Look at Ms. Lin's utterly hopeless expression; she practically has "What the hell is this?" written all over her face.]
[However, this clue is really obvious! As long as the photo is found, there's no need to worry about any other clues in the room to confirm the identity.]
[Sounds simple, but don't forget there are hundreds of photos in the Fourth Miss's room. Finding these seven photos out of hundreds, and then finding the two that belong to you from those seven, is not easy at all. Look at all these people, how many of them actually noticed this clue?]
Goodness gracious! I thought this episode was a murder mystery game, but it turns out it's just spot the differences.
[What the hell is this "spot the difference" game? Hahahaha!]
Ye Wanxi pointed at the photo, made some hand gestures, then spread two fingers apart and concluded, "Look, this is also a 2."
Everyone: "..." Okay, okay.
After finally explaining everything, Ye Wanxi smiled again and looked at the director: "Am I right in my analysis?"
The director's eyelids twitched, and he said with a hint of reluctance, "Correct."
Ye Wanxi smiled slightly and immediately turned to Feng Tianyu to claim credit.
Looking into his junior sister's bright eyes, Feng Tianyu couldn't help but smile. He raised his hand, patted her head, and praised her, "Yuanyuan is so great."
"Ahem..." The director stared at Ye Wanxi with a resentful look in his eyes and quietly reminded her, "Next."
"My identity is even simpler. My sister-in-law is the owner of the cloth shop, and I am the owner of the restaurant."
"A restaurant?" Zhao Yun'er and the others quickly reacted. "Lunch!"
“Yes, I arranged your lunch. The First Madam arranged the clothes, and the Second Madam arranged the meal. Logically speaking, in a large family like the Yang family, there should only be one lady in charge of managing the household affairs, but in the Yang family, clothing and food are handled separately.”
"There are two possible reasons for this situation. One is that the first and second wives have a very good relationship and manage the house together. The other is that the first and second wives are fighting amongst themselves and neither is willing to submit to the other, so they divide the power and each has half. But no matter which situation it is, it shows that the two wives are equally powerful and their family backgrounds are probably similar."
This involves the historical context of that time. During that period, many families were formed through arranged marriages, which emphasized matching social status. Whether the couple would become enemies after marriage or fall in love after marriage depended entirely on their own fate.
The First Madam's family background is not bad, and even if the Second Madam is weaker, the difference won't be too great.
"In addition, the production team also prepared an account book for us." Ye Wanxi was referring to the account book that was casually placed on the dressing table.
"That was a ledger of menu prices, recording the restaurant's various expenses and income over the past month, as well as the surplus. The Yang family were grain merchants, so theoretically, running a restaurant should have allowed them to be self-sufficient in terms of grain. But the stamp at the end of the ledger was marked with the character 'Su'."
"Therefore, I boldly guess that this second wife should be surnamed Su, and be a young lady of the Su family, the heir to the Su family restaurant. Or perhaps, this restaurant was part of her dowry, and the Yang family is not only related to the Su family by marriage, but also their business partner. It is possible that they came into contact during the cooperation, and the parents of both sides took a liking to each other and arranged for their children to be married."
Everyone in the program team: "..."
After listening to Ye Wanxi's analysis, the director looked utterly hopeless and finally managed to utter a sentence after a long while: "You keep telling me that you've been peeking at our script."
Ye Wanxi gave a gentle, fake smile, looking completely innocent.
The audience in the live stream also found the director's words hilarious, and the entire live stream instantly turned into a sea of laughter.
I'd believe someone else peeked at the script, but I don't believe Ye Wanxi did. Why bother? Wouldn't it be better to just do some quick calculations?
[Exactly! Playing murder mystery games with Xiao Yezi? What a stupid idea! Isn't it just throwing your life away?]
[Little Leaf: Let me do some quick calculations, what kind of trouble is the director up to today?]
The director's expression was too real, and Ye Wanxi's analysis was reasonable and well-founded. Most of the audience was just making fun of the jokes. A few sarcastic comments about Ye Wanxi stealing the script to show off because of her status as the investor's girlfriend were basically suppressed and automatically deleted by the accounts shortly afterward.
Ye Wanxi's outstanding performance on the show made the several senior brothers watching in the same live broadcast room feel both gratified and disgusted.
The joy is for the junior sister, the disdain is for the senior brother!
Xiang Yueqi (Second Senior Brother): The eldest senior brother is going too far. He accompanied the junior sister to participate in the program, but not only did he not help, he actually slacked off the whole time!
Jun Wuduan (Third Senior Brother): Love makes people lazy. The current eldest senior brother is not the same as before.
Jiang Lin (Fourth Senior Brother):
Qi Yingxuan (Fifth Senior Brother): Bah! This gigolo, Boss, has become increasingly outrageous ever since he got together with Junior Sister. This episode is a complete waste of his time; he can't help at all, and he's not afraid that Junior Sister will dump him after the show.
Jun Wuduan (Third Senior Brother): Oh, I took a screenshot.
Qi Yingxuan (Fifth Senior Brother): Get out!!!
