Xia Chujian nodded. "That's right. If this story were set in our Beichen Empire, then soldiers who have been married for less than a month wouldn't go to the battlefield unless there was an emergency. But the opera doesn't mention any emergency situations, so this is either a contradiction in the setting or a lack of plot."
"Of course, if the story's background isn't the Beichen Empire, just ignore what I said."
"Secondly, since this family is aristocratic, there must be a title to be inherited. With the eldest brother and his posthumous child both dead, the title should have been inherited by the younger brother. But this second brother is really amazing. He didn't inherit the title himself, but instead found the illegitimate child of the eldest brother's lover and gave it to the eldest sister-in-law as his biological son."
"This kind of outrageous move, given the inheritance of a title, can't be said to be unnoble, but it doesn't quite make sense, because the character of the younger brother in this story isn't that noble."
"Look, in order to marry this noble lady, he even killed his own lover. It shows that he is a ruthless person, and he is not a love-brained person. - This is where the character setting is inconsistent."
Quan Caiwei was curious: "...What is love brain?"
Xia Chujian said: "He is the kind of person who only sees love in his heart and eyes, and is satisfied with love."
Chu Qingjuan's face darkened for a moment, and she muttered, "...Isn't it good for you to just drink enough water?"
Xia Chujian flicked Chu Qingjuan's forehead with his finger: "Hey, this is love brain. Can you survive by drinking only water? Of course not!"
"To have a relationship at the cost of one's life—how many lives? To squander them like that?"
"Don't do that! If anyone tells you that love is enough to drink water, just drown him in water!"
Xia Chujian turned around, looked at Quan Caiwei and said, "Of course, maybe the background of this story wasn't fully explained, so I don't understand these things."
"For example, if the old lord of this family were still around, this kind of thing would make sense. Because it's obvious that the elder brother is the pillar of the family. The younger brother is not a good person. He has to rely on his in-laws to climb up the social ladder, which shows that he is not capable."
"Also, there's another possibility. This brother's wife's family is very powerful and would never allow their daughter to be killed so easily. So they have to let her live."
"In the end, this brother is clearly a ruthless and opportunistic person. In order to climb up the social ladder, he even killed his own lover with his own hands. And this noble lady is still sighing about her happy family... The values of this drama are really confusing and hard to describe."
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, the box fell silent.
Quan Caiwei said with emotion: "It's just a three-act opera, but you can think of so many things..."
Xia Chujian smiled and thought to herself, this is the logical thinking ability she developed from reading online novels on Star Network and fighting with readers and authors for three hundred rounds in the chapter descriptions!
Don’t take online articles lightly. The people love them. If you don’t like them, who do you think you are?
Quan Caiwei, Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan and Sang Yadi were all thinking about what she said.
However, Quan Yuxun secretly raised Xia Chujian's position in his heart to a higher level.
This is not a girl who only knows how to show off her courage. She also has brains, and she sees the essence of the emotions between men and women too clearly.
He's only eighteen years old. It's rare, so rare.
Seeing how serious they were, Xia Chujian burst out laughing and said, "Really? Don't you usually read StarNet novels?"
"These are all very common plots. There's nothing new under the sun. There's not much difference between ordinary people, citizens, and nobles and royalty."
"We are all human beings, and we all have the same emotions, strengths, weaknesses, and vulnerabilities as humans."
Xia Chujian said it lightly, but it caused a storm in the hearts of the people in the box.
The three roommates were the first to say, "Never met you! How could the nobility and the royal family be like people like us? Don't say such nonsense!"
Quan Caiwei seemed to be thinking: "...At first glance, this may sound shocking, but if you think about it carefully, it seems to make sense."
Quan Yuxun didn't say anything, but just drank a glass of tequila to hide his strangeness. He thought, doesn't this make sense? This is about digging out the roots of the empire from the very beginning!
He coughed lightly and calmly changed the subject: "Of course all bad people are bad in the same way, but all good people are different."
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, she realized she had slipped up. After hearing Quan Yuxun explain to her, she quickly said, "Yes, that's exactly what I meant. Of all these people, I think only the eldest sister-in-law is good. The others all have problems to varying degrees. Even the eldest brother."
"The one with the biggest problem is the groom's younger brother. Of course, the noble lady also has some problems, but her problems are not as big as those of her husband, that is, her younger brother."
Quan Caiwei came back to her senses and said with a smile: "So that's what you meant. I was scared to death when I first saw you."
Then he raised his glass and said, "Come, let's drink to today's opera and to our first encounter!"
Xia Chujian raised his glass of juice and said, "Caiwei, you're too kind. Let's toast to Chief Quan's insightful remarks!"
"Young Master Jing Quan!"
The people in the box raised their glasses.
Even Quan Caiwei playfully raised her glass and joined in the commotion, saying "Cheers, Young Master Quan!"
Quan Yuxun was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Ever since he graduated from law school and joined the Senate as chief legal advisor, no one dared to call him "powerless" to his face!
He raised his glass helplessly and said, "A toast to Second Lieutenant Xia. I haven't seen such a clear-headed 18-year-old in years. The young are formidable! The young are formidable!"
