Chapter 1126: Chapter 1125: Midnight Snack 3

Feng Qingyun smirked, "That’s right, her original surname is Wu, and her father is a corps commander, from the Capital no less. However, her mother had an affair while married, so she divorced Commander Wu. Hen Tiantian was born the year they divorced, taking her mother’s surname. Therefore, when people in the troupe who know of Hen Tiantian’s background talk about her, they say her surname is Wu, calling her Hen Tiantian. I’ve given it some thought, and it’s probably meant to be ironic, because Hen Tiantian’s background is somewhat murky, even her mother can’t be sure if she should carry the surname Wu or that of another man."

Feng Qingxue’s response was to knock on her younger sister’s head, "You’re in the troupe to learn singing and develop your hobbies, not to listen to all this nonsense. Do you even understand what they’re saying? Talking about affairs within marriage!"

A young girl just coming of age, really thinking she’s all grown up.

"I do understand, I’m so smart, how could I not!" Feng Qingyun rubbed her head, "An affair is what Hen Tiantian’s mother did, fooling around with another comrade while married to Commander Wu, right? In our Wanglou Brigade, there’s Wang Chengjun, who was cheating on his wife with the young widow living behind their house. When discovered, the two nearly got beaten to death!"

The incident had caused quite a stir in Wanglou Brigade, even the children had heard the detailed process and outcome.

Feng Qingxue spoke seriously, "From now on, you are not allowed to talk about these things behind others’ backs. What others say is their business, we can’t control that and it has no bearing on us or our close friends and family, so we shouldn’t spread it around."

"Got it, big sis, I’ll only talk about it with you," Feng Qingyun agreed without any hesitation.

Feng Qingxue hummed in response, speaking gently, "The troupe is a complex place, and though Teacher Yang and Teacher Fang are very strict and responsible, human hearts are unpredictable, and nobody can control what others feel. Agreeing to enlist you and join the troupe, to become a soldier-artist, I’ve been reflecting for the past two months. I don’t know whether I’ve done the right thing or the wrong thing, and how it will affect your future."

At this point, she sighed deeply.

Feng Qingyun took her hand and placed it on her own face, laughing, "Big sis, didn’t you say it? My brother-in-law is so talented, most people probably wouldn’t bully me! Once I grow up, and brother-in-law is even higher up, there will be even fewer people who can bully me. What’s there to be afraid of? As long as I stay true to myself, focus on my singing, and complete my duties, that’s enough."

Smart as she was, she had figured out what other troupes were like through the casual conversations of her comrades-in-arms, realizing that many let their guard down because she was young.

Thus, she had a much deeper understanding of the troupe than her sister.

"Big sis!" Her tone was very serious, "What Teacher Yang and Teacher Fang can do, I can do too. There are indeed a few comrades in the troupe who are vain, who joined looking to rub shoulders with the high and mighty, but not me! With the backing of big sis and brother-in-law, plus Xibao and Tianjun, my circumstances are so good, do I need to curry favor with the powerful? Could the dragons and phoenixes I might latch onto compare to the paragon of dragons and phoenixes that big sis and brother-in-law are? No, right? And even if they hold higher status than brother-in-law, they’re already old geezers."

She, Feng Qingyun, has an upright background and favorable conditions; she would never demean herself and bring shame to her sister’s family!

"Look at you, young in age, yet you speak like an adult," Feng Qingxue felt reassured in her heart and silently decided to always be vigilant about her little sister’s situation, ready to intervene at a moment’s notice should anything threaten her.
