Chapter 444: Chapter 445 Unscrupulous Businessman_1
“Who said I deceived Qingi? I am bold enough to own up to what I’ve done. Now that I’ve married Qingi, what else do you want to say?”
When Lu Ziquan heard that Muniang had co to look for Qingi, he hurried over imdiately. Such a drama was not to be missed!
Lu Ziquan wrapped his arms around Qingi with a proud tilt of his head, “What? Feeling upset, are you? Can’t stand to see Qingi happy, huh? But now she’s married to . If you’re unhappy, just endure it. Don’t think you can do whatever you want here. I gave you face last ti for my father’s sake, but do you really think you can make a scene again today?”
Muniang’s hands inside her sleeves clenched fiercely, obviously finding Lu Ziquan’s smugness unbearable, desperately wanting to kick him into disability.
But Qingi was especially protective of him, grabbing Muniang’s hand, “Sister Mu, don’t be angry, I—”
Before she could finish her sentence, a glare from Lu Ziquan shut her up. She understood the principle of following her husband once married and reluctantly let go of her hand.
Muniang’s heart ached, and she gritted her teeth, “Wang Qingi, is this the life you wanted? You think Gao Zhuang is not good enough, and being Lu Ziquan’s concubine will make you happy for life, is that it?”
Qingi hung her head in silence, while Lu Ziquan grew more smug, squinting at Mrs. Qiao Muniang with a sly look, “Rest assured, your sister now has blessings she won’t be able to enjoy in a lifeti!”
The provocation in his words was clear. Muniang could hear it, but Qingi had already been taken to Lu Ziquan’s room by then, leaving her completely without a way to deal with him!
Muniang glanced at Qingi again, who still hung her head, not just in fear, but as a sign of stubbornness. At this mont, she had no idea of the kind of hell she walked into. Muniang was fuming—Qingi’s naivety was no match for Lu Ziquan. Now that things had co to this point, frustratingly, Muniang seed to be the only one in a hurry.
“If that’s the case, I won’t bother with you anymore! Since you’re dreaming of being the County Chief’s lady, I certainly can’t aspire to such heights. Now you’d rather believe a scoundrel than . All the good I’ve done for you was in vain!” Muniang swore, turning away angrily.
Her fury surged with every step. Why should she be angry over a single Lu Ziquan? It’s only the truly close ones that can cause heartache, and she didn’t expect Qingi to end up like this—not when during their argunt, Qingi stayed silent but never left Lu Ziquan’s side, clearly surrendering to him as her everything.
Thinking of this, Muniang was even angrier. Qingya didn’t dare to console her and just followed behind.
Once on the carriage, Qingya finally ventured a question, “Lady, shall we go to i Garden now?”
Muniang sighed, “Let’s go to the Gao Family.”
It was a pity for Gao Zhuang, a man like him; this ti, she might have offended him. The thought alone was unsettling to Muniang, giving her a headache.
Gao Zhuang remained calm, thankfully for his good temper, or else he would have surely had a falling out with Muniang by now.
“I’m really sorry, my sister is just too headstrong, causing you trouble,” Muniang sincerely apologized.
Gao Zhuang shook his head, “Never mind, such is fate. Since your sister looks down upon , she’s destined to be a master in this life. Lady Yu, you needn’t worry about it.”
Muniang said awkwardly, “Otherwise, shall I have Mrs. Qiao Muniang introduce soone else better?”
Gao Zhuang said no need for concern, “Tomorrow, I will et with the matchmaker myself. You needn’t worry about this matter; it was not yours to be concerned with, to begin with. I am not unreasonable. Such matters cannot be forced. Now that Wang Qingi has found a good match, I should also wish her well.”
Muniang sighed inwardly. Such a kind-hearted person just passed by, and Qingi truly has no fortune.
Nowadays, i Garden is managed tightly by Zhong Yulang, and Tianniu has also begun to slowly get involved with the business. She follows Zhong Yulang everywhere, recruiting new mbers, expanding the theater, busy to the point of hardly touching the ground.
To avoid trouble, she still dresses as a boy every day. Madam Liu feels troubled seeing her like this. Having ambition is good, but can she really get married this way?
The thirty new actors have already been selected, including ten charming girls. Zhong Yulang brought these people today specifically for Muniang to review.
Muniang looked at each one and nodded. After all, Zhong Yulang has been an actor for so many years; his judgnt couldn’t be too bad. These people looked quite satisfactory.
So Muniang nodded, “They all look good. Study hard, and naturally, opportunities to perform on stage will co. Do you understand?”
“Yes.”
“Hmm, take them down. Arrange the rooms properly, separate the n and won, and place them in two courtyards. It will be easier to manage them. Starting tomorrow, have soone train them specifically,” Muniang instructed.
“Hmm, okay,” Zhong Yulang agreed and then led the group away.
Just as Zhong Yulang had taken the group down to the main hall, he unfortunately ran into a troubleso person.
“Oh, isn’t that Yue Guan’er? I often hear people talk about you, and they’re right, the plays you perform are truly marvelous! I’ve visited so many tis but haven’t managed to see you once. Why don’t you stay at the theater? What keeps you so busy?”
Wang Yufang approached with infatuated eyes, staring at Zhong Yulang’s handso face, nearly drooling. Zhong Yulang frowned slightly; he had never had a good impression of Wang Yufang, and being naturally indifferent, he didn’t care to engage with her but simply nodded and tried to walk past her.
But Wang Yufang quickly followed, her eyes glancing at the crowd behind Zhong Yulang, and asked, “Oh, who are all these people? The new handyn for i Garden?”
“No, newly recruited actors,” said Zhong Yulang, who was forced to stop and answer her question because she had blocked his way.
Upon hearing this, Wang Yufang’s face fell, pointing to a girl among the group, “Is she a new actor as well?”
Zhong Yulang nodded.
Wang Yufang was imdiately confused, “Don’t all the female roles in i Garden belong to Yuhua? How can you recruit new ones?”
The servant boys couldn’t stand it and rolled their eyes, “Our i Garden has so many male actors. Why should we keep recruiting n?”
Wang Yufang imdiately got angry, starting to scold, “What’s with i Garden being so rcenary? You said you would support Chen Yuhua, and now that she’s down, you imdiately recruit new ones. I must have been blind to ever trust you unscrupulous businessn!”
