Chapter 135, Divorce
Because there were more people at the stage, Zhou Chengye asked the servant to bring the play script and prepare to order a new play.
There were not many adults present, only a few, and the rest were all young men and women from various families.
Zhou Chengye first went to ask a few adults, and after the adults said they didn't want to order any plays, he went directly to find Xiao Yeyang with the play script.
"Young prince, please order some drama."
Xiao Yeyang glanced at the playlist and saw Daohua craning her neck to look at him. He smiled and casually handed the playlist to her: "You order!"
Daohua didn't hesitate and took the play clip directly and started watching it with Zhou Jingwan next to her.
The two girls were chattering and discussing, having a lot of fun.
Down below, Qian Bilan, who had been keeping an eye on this place, nudged Yan Yihan with her hand, then glanced at Yan Yile and Yan Yishuang beside them, and whispered, "The playlist is in the hands of Sister Yan now. If there's any play you want to hear, you can go over and tell her and she'll choose it."
Yan Yihan glanced at Qian Bilan and shook her head. "We don't have anything in particular we want to see. We'll just listen to whatever Big Sister and Miss Zhou say."
Hearing this, Qian Bilan forced a smile and looked at the young masters sitting around Yan Yiyi. Those were all sons of officials holding important positions in Zhongzhou Province.
Unfortunately, her father held a low official position, so she didn't even have the chance to meet him.
Yan Yishuang and Yan Yile were somewhat tempted.
The people sitting around the eldest sister were all distinguished people, and they also wanted to meet them. If they had known earlier, they would have followed the eldest sister when she accompanied their grandmother out just now.
Here, because it was almost lunch time, Zhou Jingwan was called away. Daohua knew nothing about ancient opera, so she handed the opera script back to Xiao Yeyang.
"Why didn't you order anything?"
Daohua moved her lips and finally uttered two words: "No!"
Hearing this, Xiao Yeyang laughed immediately: "How come you can't even order a play?"
Daohua snorted and said, "What's wrong with not being able to order a play? I grew up in the countryside, so naturally I have no chance to watch a play." After saying that, she looked away and stopped looking at him.
Xiao Yeyang stopped smiling and glanced at Daohua's face. Seeing that she ignored him, he felt a little bored. He threw the play script to Zhou Chengye and asked him to take care of it.
When Zhou Chengye ordered the show again, Xiao Yeyang became restless when he saw that Daohua still ignored him.
Defu couldn't help but look up at the sky again.
This guy in his family is hopeless!
"Okay, I shouldn't have made fun of you. It's just a joke. Is there any need to be angry?" Xiao Yeyang hesitated for a long time before finally saying this.
Daohua was not angry at first, but seeing Xiao Yeyang's arrogant look, she wanted to irritate him. When she heard his words of weakness, she stopped and turned her head to look away.
"That's right. I don't understand things I haven't come into contact with. Take begging for example. Did I laugh at you when you didn't know how to do it? Didn't I teach you step by step?"
"I was wrong!" When Xiao Yeyang saw Daohua actually mentioned the time when they were begging, he immediately interrupted her and looked around to see if anyone was paying attention to them. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he breathed a sigh of relief.
If others knew that he had begged for food, he would be too embarrassed to face anyone.
Behind him, Defu widened his eyes. He knew that the little prince had a difficult time after being abducted, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult that he even had to beg for food!
Daohua was smart enough to stop and began to watch the beauty on the stage in a good mood.
Seeing this, Xiao Yeyang rubbed his aching forehead, looked back at Defu and warned him.
Defu was feeling sorry for his master at the moment. When he received the eye signal, he immediately swore an oath.
"You're watching so intently, do you understand?"
Xiao Yeyang couldn't stand Daohua's cheerful look and couldn't help but sneer at her.
Daohua turned to look at him, narrowing her eyes, as if to say, "You've offended me."
Xiao Yeyang's eyes jumped: "What I mean is, if you don't understand, I'll explain it to you."
Defu: I looked up at the sky in silence!
Daohua smiled and said, "Okay, the people on the stage are singing in a humming voice and I can't hear the words clearly. Can you tell me more?"
Xiao Yeyang suddenly felt a little tired, as if he always lost to Daohua. He looked at the stage resignedly and began to explain in a low voice.
"This play on stage is famous."
Daohua listened to it as a story, and with the beauty's performance, he listened with great interest, nodding from time to time, or asking a question or two.
Beside them, Zhou Chengye and Yan Wenxiu had been keeping an eye on Xiao Yeyang and Daohua. At this moment, seeing that one of them was telling a story enthusiastically while the other was listening to the story with fascination, they secretly felt relieved.
The first few scenes were mainly cheerful, but in the middle, there was a scene that was a bit noisy.
"What kind of drama is this?"
Daohua was staring at the stage and didn't notice that Xiao Yeyang's expression suddenly became a little gloomy.
"The name of this play is Divorce! It tells the story of a wife who divorces her husband and abandons her young son when he becomes successful."
Daohua was surprised: "Why?"
Xiao Yeyang frowned: "It's because my husband brought back a concubine and a bastard who is older than my youngest son."
Upon hearing this, Daohua clapped her hands and said, "Good rest!"
Xiao Yeyang was stunned again, looking at Daohua with some surprise: "Don't you think that the mistress of the house is very cruel?"
Daohua shook her head. "I don't think so! I think she's amazing. Although I haven't finished hearing the story, based on my years of reading storybooks, I think the mistress of the house did the right thing. If I can't stay here, I'll find another place that will. The world is so big, who can live without whom?"
Xiao Yeyang's heart was beating fast, and he asked with some difficulty: "Why? She abandoned her husband and son, why do you think she did the right thing?"
Daohua: "Look, your husband brought back a concubine and a bastard son, and that bastard son is older than the legitimate son. What does this mean? It means that your husband was not loyal to his wife before they got married!"
"During her husband's absence, the mistress of the household raised her young son and managed the household all by herself. The hardship and heartache she went through are probably only known to her."
"My husband has returned, and the illegitimate son he brought back is even older than the legitimate son. Isn't this a slap in the face of the legitimate wife? If the husband favors the concubine even more, then everything the mistress of the house has done before will become a joke, right?"
"What's there to be nostalgic about in a home like this?"
"I admire that lady very much. She was able to leave her husband when he was successful and famous. It shows that she is not a vain person."
"In this era, she dared to divorce her husband. She must have courage beyond the reach of ordinary people. Such decisiveness reveals a pride that would rather die than live in disgrace."
Xiao Yeyang stared at the rice flowers in a daze. This was the first time he heard such an explanation.
According to the education he received since childhood, in a family, a wife should respect her husband in everything. For a wife to divorce her husband is a heinous crime and is unheard of.
"But she also abandoned her own child."
Hearing this, Daohua was silent for a moment: "Ah, the child is indeed somewhat innocent. When a family is broken, the one who suffers the most is the child. But this matter is not the fault of the madam, but that scumbag father."
Xiao Yeyang was a little dazed, staring at the rice flowers.
The fault is not with the wife, but with the husband!
Is that so?
Behind him, Defu's legs were shaking with fear.
Damn it, why did Master Zhou choose to divorce his husband?
