Chapter 394: Chapter 395 Lu Qi’er Causes Trouble_1 Chapter 394: Chapter 395 Lu Qi’er Causes Trouble_1 “How can there be a woman?! Did she enter by mistake?”

“But she clearly went on stage, didn’t she? What’s going on? Women act in plays too?”

“Quiet! That woman is speaking. What are you chattering about? I didn’t even understand what she said!”

Everyone immediately quieted down. After all, watching the play was the most important thing. Everyone suppressed their doubts at the bottom of their hearts and watched the play on stage earnestly.

Guo Yuehua was in good form; despite so many people in the audience staring and discussing her, her legs didn’t go weak. On the contrary, she acted with even more dedication because, before going on stage, Muniang had given her a warning, instructing her not to be nervous, to face it calmly, to bring the audience into your play, not to focus on whether you are male or female.

Guo Yuehua’s appearance certainly brought a considerable shock; for the first time, everyone not only saw a female performer but also realized who the true female lead in the play was.

After the play, there was full-house discussion; people even forgot to leave the venue.

Tianniu excitedly said, “Sister Mu, did you find this female performer? She was so amazing! That aura of a female knight—I’m envious, just watching her. Sister Mu always likes to discover what others dare not try!”

Actually, that was what Tianniu admired the most. She didn’t think that there was something particularly amazing about a female performer; it was the person who dared to use a female performer first who was the most amazing.

“Did you enjoy watching, Tianniu? Her performance today wasn’t bad. I was originally worried she might be too nervous because it was her first time,” said Muniang with a smile. Then she turned to look at Lu Qi’er beside her, only to see her looking somewhat despondent and somewhat shy.

Muniang suddenly realized what this child was fantasizing about in her heart. There was a scene in the play where Linghu Chong shows a bit of love for Ren Yingying. Although the affection was not very intense, Zhong Yulang, after all, was a powerhouse actor, and he performed just right, the emotions were very natural. Ah, this child Lu Qi’er!

Guo Yuehua’s performance had caused quite a stir in Chatu Town. The talk at teatime and after meals had all become about her. Whether it was the matter of the female performer or the real female lead making an appearance, it was the talk of the town for a time.

Yun Guan’er, who had lost the chance to play the role, was filled with hate. She fiercely slapped her own cheeks twice. Such an excellent opportunity to rise to fame, and she had missed it! Yun Guan’er was full of so much regret that she could have turned green.

She had received thirty hits with a wooden board and was still not recovered, but she still struggled out of bed and hurried to find Qiao Muniang.

Muniang was accompanying the children in the elegant room. When she heard Yun Guan’er wanted to see her, she initially didn’t want to bother, but the servant said she insisted stubbornly on waiting at the door, refusing to leave, insisting on seeing her. Only then, Muniang softened and said, “Let her in.”

Then she said to the servant, “Take them to play in another side room.” By ‘them’, she naturally referred to the three little ones.

The children were still young; their hearts pure, and Muniang didn’t want them to witness such a scene.

The moment Yun Guan’er entered, she knelt before Muniang with a “plop” and began to wail, “Lady, it’s all my fault. I should not have doubted your grace to me, to miss such a good opportunity. Lady! Please have mercy and give me another chance! I will cherish it properly!”

Muniang looked at her, “Really? Who was it that preferred to become someone’s male favorite rather than be an actor? Now that you see the role of Ren Yingying is hot, you’re begging me?”

“I was blind and missed your good intentions. I truly know I was wrong!” Yun Guan’er cried out loud. How was he to know this role would become so popular? He had sung in so many plays for years without ever becoming popular, but this time…

“You need not beg me, but rather, I should thank you. If it weren’t for your lack of discernment, I wouldn’t have found such a suitable Ren Yingying. You don’t even have the presence of a woman, so tell me, why should I employ you?” Muniang said with a hint of scorn in her tone.

Did they really think she was easy to talk to? Back then, it was he who scorned her performance, and now that her play has become popular, he again comes to ingratiate himself. Having learned from one setback, she would not give a second chance.

“If you truly wish to act, there are no good roles left now; all have been taken. There’s no shortage of extras, though. If you want to act, go pick one,” Muniang said coldly.

Yun Guan’er’s face darkened. Even without being a headliner, he had always been influential, at least he had never been reduced to playing extras. Muniang’s actions were too harsh towards him!

“Are you not going yet?!”

Biting his teeth in frustration, Yun Guan’er had no choice but to leave dejectedly.

Some gossip-hungry actors had already been eavesdropping at the door, and now, seeing the usually haughty Yun Guan’er take a fall, they couldn’t hide their delight.

“What are you looking at? All of you, scuttle off!” Yun Guan’er cursed without hiding his annoyance.

An actor huffed, “Why the big airs? Do you really think you’re someone important? Initially, you eagerly threw away a sweet deal, bent on groveling to Old Mr. Zhu, and after getting a beating with wooden boards, that was the end of it, you still thought he was so tough. It’s only been a few days, and seeing our play’s blazing success, you come crawling back to Lady Yu, huh? It serves you right for Lady Yu not giving you the time of day, after you’ve been so double-dealing!”

Yun Guan’er’s face turned livid with anger, wanting to lash out, but he knew that his status was no longer what it had been. Previously, he was Mrs. Luo’s favored darling, swaggering around the Mei Team without a care and without anyone daring to utter a word. But now, he was just a minor actor, no longer favored by his master.

Seeing the mockery and ridicule in everyone’s eyes, Yun Guan’er stomped his foot and left, hands covering his sore buttocks.

Noticing that it was getting late, Muniang thought it best to send the children back home promptly. She went looking for someone in the adjacent private room but discovered someone was missing.

“Where’s Lu Qi’er?!”

With a blink, Tianniu responded, “She said she went to the latrine.”

Muniang’s heart sank. This girl really couldn’t be controlled; she had most likely gone to find Zhong Yulang.

Suddenly, a young servant rushed in frantically, “Lady, something terrible has happened!”

“What is it?” Muniang’s heart tightened. It couldn’t be Lu Qi’er causing trouble already?

“Miss Lu got into a fight with Guo Yuehua for some reason. They’re making a terrible scene right now, and both have such fiery tempers; they can’t be stopped.” The servant was drenched in sweat, evidently in a real panic.

Muniang was shocked. How could Lu Qi’er get into a fight with Guo Yuehua? In such a crowded place, if word gets out that Lu Qi’er was “throwing a tantrum,” it would ruin her reputation! Muniang could hardly wait and hurried over to see for herself.
