Blissful Days After Widowhood - Chapter 355

Gu Ye’s new script was a cliché story of a bad mother-in-law and a pretty daughter-in-law. 

Earlier, that family was a poor family in the village. The evil mother-in-law supported her son to study alone and the family was destitute. 

The scholar and the ordinary peasant girl in the village were in love with each other. Although the mother-in-law felt that she was not worthy of her son, she had no choice but to accept her. The daughter-in-law had many brothers and a lot of fields. She was considered a wealthy household in the village, so she could have that marriage. 

After getting married, the scholar who failed many times in the test began to have good luck, passed the exams and finally became the champion.

Since then, the mother-in-law had been a demon, torturing her daughter-in-law. And the daughter-in-law’s maiden family was not enough at that moment, and couldn’t give her any help at all. 

Till that was what Gu Ye had told him, and the aria of Eldest Master Wen should also be written there. 

According to the current routine, the daughter-in-law should be behind the cold kiln, move the mother-in-law and husband, and finally the family would be complete. Or the daughter-in-law would be favored by the Emperor, and she would enter the palace as an Empress. 

Gu Ye thought that the content of the second part was too cliche. He felt that if he continued to write like that, even if Eldest Master Wen helped to polish the story, he would not be able to write better than before—yes, he was ambitious and pursued the second part. The play must be even more popular than the first one.

What happened the day before gave him inspiration. He was going to let the daughter-in-law come to the capital with her mother-in-law and husband. 

Like before, she was invited to work by the kind-hearted Food of Heaven. 

There were many female guests in Elegant Hall on the third floor of Food of Heaven, and there was a noble lady who thought that she looked like her and liked her inexplicably. 

That noble lady also had a daughter, the same age as the daughter-in-law, who was not like her at all. 

Later, as the plot unfolded, the noble lady realized that it was the concubine who had acted recklessly in the house, and bought off the servants of the family, and exchanged the child born by her with the child born by the noble lady. 

The noble lady’s own child was thrown into the wilderness by the concubine. She did not die, but was adopted by a kind-hearted farmer. 

If they investigated further, the adopted girl was naturally the daughter-in-law. 

That story had more twists and turns than the current routine, and Eldest master Wen started writing it after he went back from work that day. 

The manuscript was given two days later. 

As for why it was written so fast, it was because he became familiar with it after having written it once before.

Second, it was written by three people in the past, and they each divided the scenes and went back to write them. However, it was impossible to completely divide a script into several copies, and there must be overall unity. So before they finished writing their own part, they had to revise it according to what the other two wrote. It was not as efficient as one person writing it alone. 

When Gu Yin saw it later, she was naturally speechless again. 

It was surprising enough to write a wife-chasing script, but now even the real and adopted daughters genre were written. 

If this little guy was put into modern times, it was estimated that even if he had no other strengths, he could support himself just by writing online novels. 

The script was quickly handed over to Xiao Feng. That time, he didn’t even read it carefully, and began to split the play and rehearse the same day. 

The rest of the troupe said nothing, voluntarily and consciously gave up the rest time, and the first show was arranged in less than ten days. 

Gu Ye listened to his mother’s words and came up with a pre-sale ticket. 

Hundreds of thousands of tickets were sold in one go, not to mention the first month of the year, even the next month’s tickets were bought. 

That time, Gu Ye even picked the title of the play, called “Kindness”. 

In the middle of the first month, the new play began. 

Eldest Master Wen’s wonderful writing was like flowers, and every aria was memorable. In addition, although the story written by Gu Ye was still not new, the addition of the enduring element of real and adopted daughters, which had a wide audience in later generations, was even more icing on the cake. 

In just a few days, “Kindness” swept the streets. 

And when Mrs. Qin heard the news, she became very angry again. 

In the last play, Concubine’s background was similar to Concubine Feng, so Mrs. Qin’s anger was still understandable. 

In the second play, even Feng Yuan didn’t understand why she was angry. 

Mrs. Qin said, “What he wrote is not good. He wrote that the mother-in-law treats her daughter-in-law harshly. Isn’t this alluding to what our family is doing?”

There were so many dramas like that, but Feng Yuan couldn’t think of them. He just said ashamedly, “It’s your son who is useless, that you have worries.” 

Mrs. Qin cried, “My son, how can I blame you? I have to blame Mrs. Chen. You were fascinated by her back then and asked to marry her. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be this wicked person…” 

In all fairness, Feng Yuan fell in love with Mrs. Chen in his early years. He was especially grateful for her perseverance when his life and death were unknown. But times changed, and he went from a guard to a Duke of a dynasty. 

A wife from Mrs. Chen’s background would not help him, but would only humiliate him. 

In addition, Feng Yuan’s heart was getting more tangled day by day, since he had been brainwashed by his mother day and night until then. 

Seeing the expression on Feng Yuan’s face, Mrs. Qin knew that her persistence in those days was not in vain. After all, her son had changed his mind and knew who was really good for him. 

She proudly calculated the days in her heart, thinking that in a short while, she would be able to make Mrs. Chen “sick”.
