Xia Chujian nodded, "That's right. If the background of this story is our Beichen Empire, then a soldier who has been newly married for less than a month would not go to the battlefield unless there is an emergency. But the opera doesn't mention any emergency, so if this isn't a contradictory setting, it's an inadequate plot description."
"Of course, if the story isn't set in the Beichen Empire, then never mind."
"Secondly, since this family is of the Nobles, they must have a title to inherit. With the eldest brother and his Posthumous Child both dead, the title should be inherited by the younger brother. But this second brother is really something, not inheriting the title himself, but finding the eldest brother's lover's illegitimate child and passing him off as the eldest sister-in-law's own son."
"This kind of bizarre operation, under the condition of title inheritance, can't be said to be not noble, but it doesn't quite make sense, because the younger brother's character in this story isn't that lofty."
"You see, he even killed his lover in order to marry this Noble Lady from a noble family, which shows that he is a ruthless person and not a love brain. — This is where the character setting is inconsistent."
Quan Caiwei asked curiously, "...What is a love brain?"
Xia Chujian said, "It's the kind of person who can only see love in their heart and eyes, and is satisfied with just love."
Chu Qingjuan's face darkened, and she muttered, "...Isn't it good to be satisfied with just love?"
Xia Chujian flicked Chu Qingjuan's forehead with her finger, "There, that's a love brain. Can you survive on just water? Of course not!"
"To have a love affair at the cost of life—how many lives do you have to squander?"
"Don't do that, if anyone tells you that you can be satisfied with just love, you should drown them with water!"
Xia Chujian turned her head and looked at Quan Caiwei, saying, "Of course, maybe the background of this story wasn't fully explained, so I have these questions."
"For example, if the Old Duke of this family is still alive, this kind of thing would make sense. Because it's obvious that the elder brother of this family is the pillar, and the younger brother is no good, relying on marriage to climb the social ladder, obviously not capable."
"Moreover, there is another possibility, that is, the wife of this elder brother has a very powerful family, and would never allow their daughter to be killed casually, so they have to keep her alive."
"Finally, this younger brother is obviously an opportunist and ruthless person, who can even kill his lover with his own hands in order to climb the social ladder, and this Noble Lady is still sighing about her family's happiness... The values of this drama are really indescribable."
After Xia Chujian finished speaking, the private room was quiet.
Quan Caiwei sighed, "It's just a three-act opera, and you can think of so many things..."
Xia Chujian smiled, thinking, this is the logical thinking ability she developed from reading Star Network small web novels and fighting three hundred rounds with readers and authors in the chapter comments! Don't dismiss web novels, the people love to see them, if you don't like them, who do you think you are!
Quan Caiwei, Mao Yonggui, Chu Qingjuan, and Sang Yadi were all thinking about what she said.
Quan Yuxun quietly raised Xia Chujian's position in his heart by one level.
This is not just a girl who only knows how to be brave, she also has a brain, and she sees the essence of male and female emotions too clearly.
Only eighteen years old, rare, too rare.
As a result, Xia Chujian saw how serious they were and burst out laughing, saying, "No way? Don't you guys usually read Star Network web novels?"
"These are very common tropes. There's nothing new under the sun, the difference between ordinary civilians, citizens, and Nobles, the Royal Family isn't that big."
"Everyone is human, these emotions, advantages, disadvantages, and weaknesses as human beings are the same."
Xia Chujian said it lightly, but it stirred up a storm in the hearts of the people in the private room.
The three roommates said first, "Chujian! How can the Nobles, the Royal Family be the same as people like us? Don't talk nonsense!"
Quan Caiwei was thoughtful, "...Chujian's words sound shocking, but thinking about it carefully, it seems to make some sense."
Quan Yuxun didn't speak, just drank a glass of Tequila to cover up his strangeness, thinking, these words don't just make some sense, these words are fundamentally digging up the roots of the Empire! He coughed lightly, subtly changing the subject, "Of course, bad people are all bad in the same way, but good people are different in their own ways."
Xia Chujian realized that she had misspoke after saying that, and when she heard Quan Yuxun smoothing things over for her, she quickly said, "Yes, that's what I meant. Among these people, I think only that eldest sister-in-law is good, the others all have problems to varying degrees. Even including that eldest brother."
"Among them, the biggest problem is the groom's younger brother. Of course, that Noble Lady also has some problems, but her problems are not as big as her husband's, that is, the younger brother."
Quan Caiwei came back to her senses and said amusingly, "So that's what you meant, Chujian, you scared me to death."
Then she raised her glass and said, "Come, for today's opera, for Chujian's insightful views, let's have a drink!"
Xia Chujian raised her juice and said, "Caiwei, you flatter me, let's toast to Chief Quan Da's incisive views!"
"Respect Second Lieutenant Quan!"
The people in the private room followed suit and raised their glasses.
Even Quan Caiwei playfully raised her glass and joined in the fun, saying "Respect Second Lieutenant Quan"! Quan Yuxun was dumbfounded.
Since he graduated from Law School and entered the Senate as Chief Legal Counsel, no one has dared to call him "Second Lieutenant Quan" in his face!
He helplessly raised his glass and said, "Let's toast to Second Lieutenant Xia. It's been many years since I've seen such a clear-headed eighteen-year-old young person. The younger generation is to be feared! The younger generation is to be feared!"
Xia Chujian chuckled, "I've read so many Star Network web novels, been through so many bizarre characters, I can always get some inspiration, and take fewer detours, right?"
She winked at the girls, "You see, where the time is spent, it's visible..."
The girls burst into laughter, and even Quan Yuxun couldn't help but smile.
After the opera, they sat in the box for a while, and then the door was pushed open.
The female lead from the opera walked in with a bouquet of flowers and said to Quan Yuxun with delight, "Yuxun, you're here."
Xia Chujian could hear the deep affection in her tone.
This girl really likes Quan Yuxun! But Quan Yuxun didn't even stand up. He rested one hand on the armrest of the seat and the other on the back of Quan Caiwei's seat, smiling at the woman, "Jiangli, I'm entertaining guests here, aren't you going back for the encore?"
Mei Jiangli quickly glanced at the women in the box.
Apart from her cousin Quan Caiwei, none of them were good-looking.
Her heart immediately settled down, and she said with a smile, "I'm about to go back for the encore. I heard you sent me flowers, so I came to say hello."
Then she politely said to Xia Chujian and the other three, "Sorry for the poor hospitality, please forgive me."
She was poised and generous, acting like the hostess.
Xia Chujian thought she was quite pretty, and a star at that. More importantly, she was Quan Yuxun's fiancée! The future young Madam of the Quan Family!
Xia Chujian, feeling restless, took a napkin from the table, walked up to the woman, and said with a smile, "Madam Mei, right? Could you sign an autograph for me?"
Mei Jiangli looked at her in surprise, then quickly glanced at Quan Yuxun and Quan Caiwei, seeking their opinions.
Quan Caiwei said, "Noble Lady Mei, if it's not too much trouble, please sign one!"
Quan Yuxun also said, "Thank you for thinking highly of Second Lieutenant Xia, Jiangli, just sign one for her."
Only then did Mei Jiangli say to Xia Chujian in a particularly amiable manner, "You're Second Lieutenant Xia? Where should I write it? What's your name?"
Xia Chujian's eyes darted around, and she said with a smile, "Just write: To Xia Liu Shun, wishing you always smile and good luck comes naturally!"
Mei Jiangli immediately took out a pen and wrote the blessing on the napkin Xia Chujian gave her, and praised, "Liu Shun? What a great name, everything goes smoothly!"
Xia Chujian smiled without saying a word, waved goodbye to Mei Jiangli, and put away the napkin.
...
On the way back from Linfeng Club, Xia Chujian asked Quan Caiwei to help them buy some Fragrant Fruit Chestnuts that could be stored, intending to take them home as special gifts.
Quan Caiwei immediately sent a message to her family's staff, asking them to move a few boxes of Fragrant Fruit Chestnuts for the four guests.
Quan Yuxun sat in the last row of the large Flying Vehicle, pulled out the virtual display screen of the Quantum Optical Brain, and sent the questions Xia Chujian had raised earlier to the creator of the opera.
[Quan Yuxun]: Take a look yourself, do these loopholes need to be fixed?
The other side quickly replied:
No need. The only person who can see these loopholes is you. You are an exception, it doesn't matter if you know.
[Quan Yuxun]: ...
Back at the Quan Family Manor, Xia Chujian's three roommates were still immersed in the joy of having seen the world, and were very interested in what she had said about the Nobles.
The four of them simply slept in one bedroom, Xia Chujian's bedroom.
Xia Chujian slept on the bed, and Mao Yonggui slept on the chaise lounge by the window.
Chu Qingjuan slept on the sofa.
Sang Yadi disliked the sofa being too soft and slept on the carpet.
Just like at the base, the four of them started a bedtime talk before going to sleep.
Mao Yonggui asked first, "Chujian, you know so much about these Nobles, did you really learn it from Star Network web novels?"
Chu Qingjuan also said, "I've read a few, but they were so awkward that I almost forgot how to read, so I rarely read them later. Chujian, how did you manage to keep reading?"
Xia Chujian wanted to laugh, and said, "I read books relatively quickly, sometimes skimming through them, and only rereading the good ones. Generally speaking, I know whether a book is worth following after reading the first chapter. I've found a few very favorite treasure authors, I don't tell others, but I'll share them with you..."
As she spoke, she sent the links over.
The three roommates chattered and looked at the Star Network web novels that Xia Chujian recommended to them.
At ten o'clock in the evening, the four of them received a message from the Flight Training Base, asking them to report to the Flight Training Base on Cangge Star by six o'clock tomorrow morning.
That meant that tonight would be their last night at the Quan Family Manor.
