Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Every time that ancestral hall opens, it is a major event

Delphine could clearly feel that the situation in Nanyang had become somewhat tense these days.

Richard Shaw stayed in Nanyang and did not return to the Imperial City. He would occasionally sit in the tea room with Ignatius Leclair, and their talks would last an entire afternoon. When the news of the Wade Family immigrating out of Nanyang came out, Delphine remained silent for a long time. She was not a saint and naturally didn’t sympathize with the Wade Family. It’s just that such a prestigious family fell like a toppled building in such a short time, which made her feel somewhat uneasy.

The power of Ignatius Leclair was more terrifying than she had imagined. The man she shared her daily life with, just how frightening could he be? It took merely half a month for him to remove a prestigious family from Nanyang.

While feeling uneasy, Delphine was also a bit scared. Ever since she gave Ignatius the cold shoulder regarding Melody Cloud’s matter, his attitude returned to its initial indifference.

This distance gave Delphine a slight sense of security.

Despite the serious situation in Nanyang, Delphine returned to the screen to act. After Kyla Zamora conveyed her message to director Gareth, Gareth repeatedly hoped Delphine would reconsider taking the lead role in "The Official Daughter’s Wish."

After discussing it with Kyla, Delphine politely declined and took on another lead female role in a drama of the same genre, "A Bough of Pear Blossoms Crushes the Crabapple." It’s considered an ancient intrigue drama, and with the current huge market for costume dramas, the official announcement by the production team triggered a wave of hot discussions online.

"A Bough of Pear Blossoms Crushes the Crabapple" was an adaptation of an IP and had a large fanbase. Everyone from the director to the scriptwriter was known for their dedication, and with Delphine, a new-generation actress recognized for both her good looks and popularity, as the lead actress, the book fans were elated, while long-time fans of Delphine were thrilled by the news.

"Delphine, the audience for TV dramas is different from movies. Are you sure you want to play in this drama?" Kyla had some concerns about Delphine’s identity. If the show turned out to be a hit, Delphine would become a national favorite. Could the Leclair Family, a prestigious family, accept this?

"No worries, I’m using a stage name, and the Leclair Family won’t pay attention to these things," Delphine said calmly. She debuted under the stage name "Delphine" without a surname. Life is full of challenges and choices, and now she just wants to do what she loves.

"Then get familiar with the script first, and I’ll finalize the joining date with the crew. I’ll come to pick you up. I’ll stay by your side throughout this filming to prevent you from being at a disadvantage due to your young age," Kyla said with determination, planning to stick closely by Delphine’s side in the future.

"Okay." Delphine nodded, hung up the phone, and reclined on a makeshift swing in the courtyard, reading the script.

"A Bough of Pear Blossoms Crushes the Crabapple" was different from the movies she usually took on. This costume drama was not only inspiring but also thrilling. The female lead, Lizzie Stafford, was originally the official daughter of a first-rank official, the Duke of Wei. Her biological mother died early, and her father, the Duke of Wei, married a new wife, who gave birth to her half-sister, Delilah Stafford. Lizzie was deliberately spoiled and indulged by her stepmother to become frivolous and arrogant. After reaching adulthood, she was married off to the Nanyang Palace but was ultimately harmed by her husband and sister, becoming a wandering ghost. Lizzie watched helplessly as her stepmother angered her grandmother to death, and her stepsister married the Princely Heir she had admired since childhood.

Lizzie wandered as a ghost for five years, then was reborn at the age of ten.

Aware of her future and seeing through people’s hearts, Lizzie changed her previous life’s arrogant personality, fought against her stepmother and sister, canceled her engagement with the scumbag, and changed the fate of her entire family.

As Delphine was engrossed in reading, the butler entered the courtyard and said with a loving smile, "Miss Delphine, Miss Leah Squire has sent an invitation."

Delphine took the invitation and was surprised to see that it’s for three days later at Baigon Temple. To see the address on it was shocking. Baigon Temple was the oldest temple in Nanyang. It hadn’t been opened for decades, and whenever it did, something big was about to happen.
