Seeing this, Sheng Wu, who was good at observing people's words and expressions, realized that the old man did love the original owner, but... seemed to dislike her marrying into the Shen family.
Yes, he probably felt that marrying into a wealthy family like the Shen family would bring him scandals, and it would be more reassuring to earn a living by his own ability than to please others with his beauty.
Sheng Wu then stepped forward and smiled, "Master, I know you hold me in high regard, but I do have my own reasons. I have something to ask you this time."
Hearing this, looking at her obedient look, although the owner was upset that she married into the Shen family, he still couldn't help but soften his heart and scolded her in a seemingly angry manner.
"Ask, ask, ask, what are you asking? You've already left the troupe. How can I, an old man, tell you anything? Humph!"
Although he said so, he still walked forward with Sheng Wu to another room.
"What are you looking at? Put on your makeup quickly! If anyone delays the performance, I will skin him alive!" The troupe leader did not forget to turn around and secretly warn the people around who were following closely.
After all, Sheng Wu’s identity is different now, and there are many people who want to hear her gossip.
Upon hearing this, those who originally wanted to come forward and curry favor with Sheng Wu immediately gave up the idea and had to do their work honestly.
This way.
The class leader brought Sheng Wu to the next room. After closing the door, he turned around and sat on a chair. The old man sighed softly and looked at Sheng Wu helplessly.
"...Is Mr. Shen nice to you?" After a pause, he remembered his attitude towards Sheng Wu, and tried to find a way out with some embarrassment.
"Humph, how can it be bad? You've gained a lot of flesh on your face."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Wu's mouth twitched, and she seriously suspected that this person had some weird intentions.
She didn't say anything more and walked straight to the class owner, then lowered her head to look at him, a flash of red light under her pair of light ink-colored pupils.
"You..." The class leader looked into her eyes and before he could say anything, the light and shadow in his pupils suddenly faded.
The whole person's expression became dazed and dull.
Seeing this, Sheng Wu curled her red lips and asked, "How long have I known Shen Guiwu?"
There were some things that Chen Guiwu might not tell her the truth about, and his specific identity was still uncertain, so it was not easy to use charm, because...
She always felt that the world was a little different.
So we can only start with the class owner who is close to Sheng Wu.
The class owner answered honestly like a controlled puppet.
"You first met backstage at the troupe. He came to see you, and it lasted five days."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu raised her eyebrows. Five days, in five days, Chen Guiwu will be able to marry her home?
"How long has Chen Guiwu been attending operas in the troupe?"
"I've been coming here regularly since the first year the troupe came south to Beijing. It's been seventeen years now."
Seventeen......
Then why did I only know the original owner for five days?
"Then when did I join the troupe?"
The troupe owner said, "You are an abandoned baby that I picked up and you have been growing up in the troupe."
When Sheng Wu heard this, her eyes darkened. So...she was already in the troupe when it moved to the old city.
"What was Chen Guiwu's attitude before he married me?"
The troupe owner said, "He only came to see you once, and then he sent someone to pay the betrothal gift, saying that he wanted to marry you."
"What about Shen Junsheng? Does he come to the opera troupe often?"
The owner hesitated for a moment, "About once a month, it's been two years."
Hearing this, Sheng Wu frowned and her dark, beautiful eyes narrowed. She didn't ask any more questions, but just pondered over something while grasping at these clues.
......
On the high platform on the third floor of the theater building.
The surroundings were empty, unlike the second floor and the lobby where there were more or less people sitting there. Only a private room on the left side had people sitting there.
There was a half-open window, allowing one to look down at the stage, while people below could not peek up.
"Master, I received news that the old man left the train station this morning to go north to discuss business."
A man in a dark green military uniform stood behind, slightly bent over and whispered.
Hearing this, the man sitting on the chair, holding up the teacup with one hand and taking a sip with dignity and coolness, had a cold face and no reaction. He raised his military cap slightly, revealing a pair of narrow eagle eyes that were sinister and intimidating.
There is a bronze ring on the slender and strong ring finger.
After taking a sip of tea, the man placed the cup steadily on the table, then raised his head slightly, revealing a handsome, wheat-colored face that was wild and unruly, with cold and unruly eyebrows.
"He's willing to leave."
He actually left his newlywed wife and wasn't afraid that he would take the woman away!
Hearing this, Gu Mo behind him did not say anything. After all, this was the young marshal's family affair.
Suddenly, there was a roar from the audience.
The show begins.
At this moment, Shen Junsheng also turned his head slightly and glanced to the side, putting away his nonchalant attitude. His sinister and deep eyes looked at the audience with a focused gaze.
First, the old masters nearby started the performance by playing their instruments.
Then, a person dressed as a Hua Dan came out from behind the stage with nimble steps. Although her face was covered with heavy makeup, one could still vaguely see her charm.
The girl's face was pink and white, her hair and headpiece decorated with green jade, and her shoulders were draped in clouds. She walked lightly, her wrists twisted gracefully like flowers, and with a light tap of her orchid fingers, the flowing cherry blossoms on her head fluttered.
Her red lips were slightly parted, and her voice was like the sweet chirping of a lazy swallow oriole, with a unique charm.
"Ahh..." As her eyebrows moved, a pool of starlight shone out, and the corners of her eyes were like hooks.
