Chapter 410: Chapter 411: As Expected, Just a Woman of the Household_1 Chapter 410: Chapter 411: As Expected, Just a Woman of the Household_1 Guo Yuehua felt stifled and was about to go out for a walk when the young maidservant stopped her, “Lady Guo, are you going out? The Lady said if Lady Guo has come to a decision, to go directly to her, otherwise you should at least inform the Lady first. Otherwise, continuing to be angry with her like this is pointless.”

Guo Yuehua raised her hand and slapped the maidservant on the cheek, furiously saying, “How I should act is not for a slave like you to teach!”

After saying so, she swept out of the room.

The wronged maidservant cried bitterly, and everyone who saw the scene couldn’t help murmuring, “This Guo Yuehua really thinks too highly of herself, getting more and more spoiled by the day. This young lady’s temper really is unrivaled!”

“Let it be, what can we do about it? Even at her worst, she’s still better off than us. Better not to talk about this anymore.”

Meanwhile, Guo Yuehua had stormed out and began aimlessly wandering the streets. Feeling dejected, she decided to visit Zhu’s Silver Tower and picked out quite a few desirable items, after all, it wasn’t her money she was spending!

This, however, pained the Shopkeeper of Zhu’s Silver Tower terribly. Even though Guo Yuehua usually brought considerable profits to the store, she was unmerciful whenever she came to claim goods.

After purchasing some items, Guo Yuehua was strolling along the streets and just as she passed a small alley, she was suddenly pulled in with a strong force. She instinctively tried to struggle, but it was to no avail. Her mouth was covered, her body firmly restrained, leaving her unable to wriggle free.

Then, those people gagged her and stuffed her into a sack to be carried away.

Guo Yuehua was terrified half to death, fearing she had encountered robbers. If she had known such misfortune would befall her, she would definitely not have ventured out alone. Earlier, she had harmed her own maid, Xiao Yuan, who couldn’t accompany her. Now, all by herself, she was no match for these kidnappers!

In New Moon House, inside the innermost compartment, Huang Bin had been waiting. Now, several strong men brought in the sack. A servant stepped forward to untie it, revealing Guo Yuehua’s frightened head. She shivered at the sight of the unfamiliar man before her, wishing she could plead and wail, but unfortunately, her mouth was stuffed and she could make no sound.

But Huang Bin said, “You really have no manners, do you? I asked you to invite Lady Guo over, who allowed you to bind her? Lady Guo is delicate and precious, how could she withstand such rough handling? Release her at once!”

His words were polite, with no trace of reprimand in his tone.

“Yes.”

The servants immediately loosened Guo Yuehua’s bonds and removed the cloth from her mouth.

Only then, Huang Bin approached Guo Yuehua with a smile, “Lady Guo, please don’t take offense. It’s just that my subordinates misunderstood. I truly wanted to invite Lady Guo here.”

Guo Yuehua, however, jumped back and warily watched Huang Bin, “Who exactly are you? What do you want? Why did you kidnap me!”

Huang Bin smiled, sat down on the Taishi Chair, and then said, “This is New Moon House, one of the largest theaters in Chatu Town, the only theater troupe capable of rivaling Mei Garden. I am the owner of this troupe. Now you know who I am?”

Guo Yuehua looked around and indeed, it was New Moon House. She felt slightly relieved and asked, “What is it you want me for?”

“I’ve just heard that Lady Guo suffered a great injustice at Mei Garden, and I simply wanted to speak up for you. I heard that for Mei Garden’s second play, they don’t plan to use you as the lead anymore. That’s just so despicable. Lady Guo, you are such a big draw now, and they are blind enough not to use you—don’t you find that infuriating?”

These words clearly struck a chord with Guo Yuehua, who replied with some resentment, “What business is it of yours!”

“Originally it was none of my business, but Lady Guo, can you really swallow such indignation? You are the first female actor in history, an extraordinary person indeed. Besides, who in Chatu Town doesn’t know your name now? Why didn’t Qiao Muniang use you this time? She is actually trying to suppress you. Otherwise, why leave such a good draw unused and look for newcomers instead?”

Guo Yuehua clenched her teeth, feeling indignant inside.

Seeing Guo Yuehua’s reaction, Huang Bin was reassured and said, “If you ask me, since Qiao Muniang wants to suppress you on purpose, you have to become even more popular just to spite her. If she doesn’t give you the chance, I will. I have New Moon House, which will promote only you. What do you say to that?”

Guo Yuehua’s eyes lit up, but then she said, “Doesn’t New Moon House perform plays?”

Huang Bin shook his fan and replied, “From now on, we’ll change our style. As long as you agree to leave Mei Garden and come to New Moon House, I’ll naturally arrange everything for you. Starting now, New Moon House will also perform the same kind of plays as Mei Garden. Do you think that after their first successful show, they can keep that fire going a second time? New Moon House didn’t keep up in the first month, but wouldn’t we know how to improve in the second?”

Guo Yuehua was clearly swayed, and Huang Bin’s promise was undoubtedly tempting. “Is everything you’re telling me true?”

“Absolutely true! Once I’ve decided on something, there’s really nothing I can’t accomplish. Mei Garden, what of it? Can Qiao Muniang rely on their novelty to continue winning steadily? Now that this kind of play has emerged, naturally, many will compete with her for business. Leaving her is definitely a wise choice.”

Only then did Guo Yuehua nod, “Alright, I can’t stay at Mei Garden anymore anyway.” In her heart, she even felt a deep sense of vengeful satisfaction—Qiao Muniang, you will eventually regret giving up on me!

Huang Bin began to smile, “Lady Guo is so reasonable, then I didn’t have to go to such lengths before.”

Previously, he had specifically ordered someone to investigate, aiming to recruit these two draws. However, Zhong Yulang was stubborn by nature, and since Mei Team was originally his, he naturally wouldn’t come over. On the other hand, Huang Bin unexpectedly discovered that Guo Yuehua, with her proud nature, had fallen out with Qiao Muniang. Huang Bin naturally saw an opportunity to poach her.

Now Huang Bin wanted to follow the same path as Qiao Muniang, but lacked leads as hot as Zhong Yulang and Guo Yuehua to attract the audience. Mei Garden, holding onto two big draws, would surely get a large audience for their second play, and it would be hard for Huang Bin to compete. But now that he had recruited Guo Yuehua, it was different. Mei Garden had Zhong Yulang, and New Moon House had Guo Yuehua. The strength of the two was comparable, and surely the clients they could attract would not be few.

In his heart, Huang Bin silently laughed at Qiao Muniang for being a fool, casting aside someone she had worked so hard to promote, choosing a newbie instead—she deserved to have someone like him take advantage of the situation to poach her talent.

Huang Bin sighed, “Indeed, she’s still a woman of the household, what use is a bit of cunning? She lacks the skill to stabilize the situation.” His tone was somewhat mocking, as if he had already foreseen the downfall of Mei Garden.
