Chapter 54 Better



"Girl, what do you mean by within the range we can accept..." Xiaoman frowned, a little confused.

"that is........"

"Some things need to be developed gradually, starting with small details. Only in this way can people accept the story, rather than rejecting it from the bottom of their hearts."

"But girl, Xiaoman doesn't quite understand why you do this?"

“Perhaps even the most insignificant ant dreams of reaching out and helping its fellow ants.”

"In the end, I can't change anything, but it makes me sad. Every time I see this, I want to do something. I'm so unwilling to accept it. This shouldn't be like this, but I know I'm powerless to change it."

"Then I told myself that every era of reform is like a vast ocean, and I am just a stone. When I fall, as long as I can create a small wave, that's enough."

The power of one person is so small.

The prosperous era of gender equality was achieved by the blood and flesh of countless predecessors, and was accumulated bit by bit through years of countless insignificant efforts.

There are ordinary women in this world, and ordinary women also have the pride and character of ordinary women.

The deep curtain is one.

They are one.

Adding them together, it’s 100 million.

After working through the entire night, Chen Wei finished revising the script of the play "Wenwan Lan Ning".

Madam Hou’s birthday banquet was getting closer, and it would take some time for the troupe to memorize the script. After Chen Wei quickly revised it, he gave it to Qin Shuyu for review.

"Is this the advertisement you inserted?"

"Did you change the ending of the story?"

"Miss Shen." Qin Shuyu was shocked when she got the script. She stared at Shen Wei with a complicated and indescribable look: "Do you know what you are doing?"

Is Chen Wei crazy?

How could such a treasonous ending be created?

How dare she bring it to me for review? Where did she get the confidence to think that I would agree to this script?!

Before the change,

This play praises Wen Lan's virtue and moral character, and shows that only when a woman is filial and tolerant can she have a happy ending.

After the change,

This play depicts the bad nature and calculations of men, and clearly describes the greed, vanity and shortsightedness of the husband's family.

Wen Lan contracted tuberculosis in the mansion and had only a year to live, so her mother-in-law immediately kicked her out of the house. Unexpectedly, the truth about the rescue was revealed. It turned out that Ning Feng was an imposter, and the one who saved Wen Lan was the top scholar appreciated by the emperor.

When the top scholar heard that Wen Lan had only one year to live, he searched everywhere and finally found out that there was something in this world that could bless mortals with longevity.

Finally, after going through all kinds of hardships, he found the longevity cake, Wen Lan's illness was cured, and the two loved each other. However, Ning Feng was ruined and his wife was burned to death.

???

This is ridiculous!

Desolate!

Unreasonable!

How can this be changed like this?

But, but for some reason... watching this astonishing reversal, Qin Shuyu felt a little excited and particularly relieved! There was a refreshing feeling, like seeing the bright moon through the clouds.

She thought she was crazy!

"Ms. Qin, I always knew what I was doing."

"If I wasn't worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it, I could actually make it even more exaggerated, making Wen Lan even better and stronger. But I understand that if I did that, those ladies might just turn around and leave."

"I have been very restrained in this change."

Qin Shuyu's inner thoughts were struggling.

She glanced deeply at the curtain and then at the script.

at last,

Qin Shuyu rubbed his brow and said, "A divorced woman is despised by everyone and doesn't even have the qualifications to marry another woman. How could such an outstanding man still like her and marry her?"

"Or she could be kicked out of the house, become a chaste woman, live a lonely and poor life, and die in depression."

"Either she rejects the love of that outstanding man. As an abandoned woman, she is truly unworthy of him. An abandoned woman should not live such a happy life. If she rejects him, she can marry a servant or a refugee instead..."

This is why women would rather hang themselves than be divorced.

After the divorce, they were tainted.

If they had no blemishes, how could they be divorced by their in-laws? It must be their own fault!

The final fate of an abandoned woman will be to be homeless, bullied and humiliated. Not only will she be disliked by her parents' family, but even a passing dog may step on her.

Chen Wei shook his head and firmly pushed the script back: "Miss Qin, what you said is wrong. You said that the abandoned girl who was divorced should be despised by everyone and is a woman of corrupt character and low status."

"But do you think Wen Lan is morally corrupt? Is he lowly?"

"Why doesn't she deserve someone better?"

"Even if she didn't get married, she should have lived a prosperous life instead of ending up depressed."

Seeing that Chen Wei had not listened, Qin Shuyu's voice became more dignified: "This is against the rules. No one can accept it. If anything goes wrong at the birthday party, even I can't bear the consequences."

"But I can see from your eyes that you have accepted it." Chen Wei said with a burning gaze.

Qin Shuyu was suddenly speechless.

She wanted to find some examples to refute Chen Wei and deny that she didn't have any.

But, I can say it with my mouth, but can I feel it in my heart?

Seeing Qin Shuyu's solemn expression, holding on to the dignity of a mistress and not responding, Chen Wei spread out the script and said, "When you read this ending, your heartbeat will speed up and your fingers will curl up."

"Miss Qin, you've already accepted this outcome in your heart. Why are you so sure that other ladies can't accept it?"

"Is it because every time they finish watching the opera, they all sigh in admiration for Wen Lan's virtue behind her back? But how can you be sure that those compliments aren't just going with the flow, just following the crowd?"

"Don't they really feel sorry for Wen Lan, who spent all her family's wealth to help her husband achieve success, but in the end she was kicked out of the house?"

"Do they really like the forced happy ending, the recognition and position of equal wife gained by sacrificing half their lives?"

"Miss Qin, I know you are a kind and generous mistress. You are really good, but when you endure Xie Yuchuan's change of heart, don't you feel uncomfortable? I know you must feel very uncomfortable."

"But you can only comfort yourself. This is the pattern of the mistress of the house. You can't be jealous of the concubine, and you can't desire to be favored by Xie Yuchuan alone. You can't, but just because you can't doesn't mean you are willing."

Speaking of this.

Chen Wei stood up moved.

She has always ignored the rules of the Marquis' Mansion, and today is no exception.

Before Qin Shuyu could react, she suddenly reached out with a look of pity, hugged Qin Shuyu, and patted Qin Shuyu on the back.

Then he said sincerely from the bottom of his heart: "Ms. Qin, if you really feel embarrassed, I will think of other ways."

“But please don’t deny your feelings.”

"You deserve better."

After saying this, Chen Wei left.

Qin Shuyu stood there in a daze. She raised her hand and touched the place where Chen Wei had touched.
