The fool has become a spirit, and she can speak

Chapter 1693 The Opera House Attendant Meets Constable Sun

Chen Qingsheng knew what it smelled like; it was very fragrant. Just a tiny bit on the face would make you smell wonderful.

When they arrived at the theater, He Ye ordered a pot of tea and two plates of snacks. "Qing Sheng, you haven't had lunch yet, have some snacks to tide you over."

Chen Qingsheng was so dejected that he had no appetite. Not only did he not eat, but his two sisters-in-law also did not eat. However, he felt hungry at this moment, so he picked up a pastry and took a bite.

Lotus Leaf asked, "Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, but not as good as the pastries from your Prince's Mansion. Lotus Leaf, you should eat some too!" Chen Qingsheng pushed the plate towards Lotus Leaf.

Lotus Leaf wasn't hungry, but she still picked up a small piece. "We have imperial chefs in our palace. The tea and snacks in this theater can't compare to those in the palace. If you like the palace's snacks, I'll get you some another day."

"No need, I rarely eat that..."

Chen Qingsheng stopped moving his mouth; he neither ate nor spoke. He Ye, noticing the unusual behavior, asked Chen Qingsheng, "What's wrong?"

Chen Qingsheng stared intently at the table in front of him, "That must be the young master and Constable Sun!"

He Ye was about to say no, since her uncle was still lying at home when she left the manor, how could he be at the theater now? But who else could it be but her uncle smiling back at her?

He Ye's smile turned to embarrassment. She stammered out "Uncle," but although the two tables weren't far apart, her voice was so soft that Uncle Cheng Feng couldn't hear her at all. Cheng Feng must have read her lips, because he nodded at her, then turned around and said a few words to Constable Sun. Constable Sun turned back and his eyes met He Ye's precisely. His eyes were filled with surprise and excitement. He stood up and walked towards He Ye with great gentlemanly manners, giving her a polite bow. "Greetings, Miss He Ye!"

Despite her surprise, He Ye rose to return the greeting, "Officer Sun, how have you been!"

Constable Sun's gaze was fixed on He Ye's face, as if Chen Qingsheng, who was sitting there, was not even human and was being ignored. "Miss He Ye, please sit in the front so we can catch up!"

"Ah..." He Ye had only met him twice, and both times she was in a very bad state. How could the two of them possibly have any past to reminisce about? "I think I won't go! My friend's birthday party is still here!"

Only then did Constable Sun look at Chen Qingsheng, his expression somewhat feigned, as if he had just noticed Chen Qingsheng. "Isn't this Chen Qingsheng? You're here too!"

Chen Qing had a little bit of heart in his mouth, his face was cold, and he nodded symbolically to Constable Sun as a greeting.

Constable Sun then turned his gaze to He Ye's face. "Since Chen Qingsheng is not an outsider and there is food and drink provided, let Chen Qingsheng watch the play here. You come with me to sit in the front."

Chen Qingsheng thought this man would invite him to sit in the front and listen to the opera, but it turned out he was left there, and only He Ye was taken to the front. He Ye had similar thoughts to Chen Qingsheng; she also thought that Constable Sun would be polite to Chen Qingsheng and then invite the two of them to go to the front to listen to the opera together!

"Officer Sun, this isn't right! It's my friend's birthday celebration..."

“Chen Qingsheng won’t mind!” He Ye’s words were interrupted. Constable Sun looked at Chen Qingsheng and said, “Chen Qingsheng, you don’t mind He Ye going to the front to listen to the opera, do you?”

Chen Qingsheng shook his head. What could he say? Constable Sun had already gone through matchmakers several times to try and marry He Ye, and Cheng Feng still thought highly of Constable Sun. The fact that Cheng Feng was sitting here watching the play with Constable Sun meant that he didn't object to the marriage between Constable Sun and He Ye. Besides, when they met on the street that day, Constable Sun directly called Cheng Feng "uncle" in public!

Just as Chen Qingsheng was feeling indignant, he heard Constable Sun say to He Ye, "Look, your friend Chen Qingsheng doesn't mind, so come with me to the front. Your uncle is waiting up there!"

He Ye's eyes showed shock and embarrassment. This man was truly shameless. When did he change his mind? She hadn't agreed to such a marriage proposal from Constable Sun. He Ye thought for a moment that Constable Sun dared to come here to invite her like this, so it must be her uncle's idea. Her uncle was waiting for her ahead, so she had to go. She listened to her uncle more because he wouldn't harm her!

He Ye looked at Chen Qingsheng, who was sitting there forlornly with a pastry in his hand, and said, "Qingsheng, you sit here and watch the show. I'll go to my uncle's place up ahead!"

"Hmm!" Chen Qingsheng's "hmm" came from his throat, so soft that it was barely audible to He Ye. He Ye saw him nod slightly before following Constable Sun to the front.

Cheng Feng sat in the middle, with Constable Sun and He Ye on either side of him. Cheng Feng had a teacup on his left and a folding fan on his right. He would drink tea occasionally and then fan himself with the fan in a pretentious manner. However, his expression could not be seen because he only showed Chen Qingsheng his back. Constable Sun's ingratiating profile, on the other hand, was always in Chen Qingsheng's sight. He kept talking to He Ye with a smile, making her lower her head and laugh from time to time.

Chen Qingsheng cursed Sun the constable in his heart. He didn't watch the good show on stage and even disturbed He Ye's performance. As soon as He Ye looked at the stage, Sun the constable leaned over and talked to her. He Ye had no choice but to turn her head and listen carefully to what Sun the constable was saying. Chen Qingsheng just couldn't understand why this man talked so much!

This lotus leaf is really going too far. She invited him to watch the play with him, and then left him here halfway through while she went to talk to Constable Sun. What kind of behavior is this?! What does she take Chen Qingsheng for?!

Chen Qingsheng was furious, resentful, and angry!

He was so angry he hadn't even eaten a single snack. What was even more infuriating was that those three people had ruined three perfectly good shows, and Chen Qingsheng hadn't heard a word of it; his eyes were fixed on the people at the table in front of him.

Unbeknownst to Chen Qingsheng, his eyes were filled with a fierce glint.

Finally, the play ended, and the people at the front table got up. Cheng Feng walked in front, followed by Constable Sun and He Ye. Chen Qingsheng was annoyed; the play was over, and now his brother Feng had remembered him.

Cheng Feng picked up a pastry from Chen Qingsheng's plate, took a bite, and said, "Qingsheng, isn't this pastry delicious? Why haven't you touched it!"

Chen Qingsheng didn't know who he was angry with. He used to be happy to see Cheng Feng, but today seeing him made him feel sullen. They grew up in the same village, so how could he be inferior to a constable with a knife? He said angrily, "It doesn't taste good."

Cheng Feng reached out and touched Chen Qingsheng's mouth. Chen Qingsheng thought Cheng Feng was going to hit him. Just as he was about to run away, Cheng Feng pinched a small thing off his mouth with two fingers and said with a smile, "Why are you dodging? You don't even wipe your mouth after eating. There are still crumbs of pastry on your lips!"
