Zhuo Wansan thought over and over again, but he didn't dare to say the reason, and he didn't dare to let the county magistrate send someone there, but let his son Zhuo Wailang go there as a private friend with her little husband.

He was very clear in his heart that as long as this little fool Jiuli saw the portrait, there was no reason to give it to him, unless she didn't look at it, even if she didn't look at it, when she went to ask for a painting, she would look at it and still wouldn't give it to him.

But he still left his son to try his luck.

And brought a hundred taels of silver.

Zhuo Wailang and Xiaotong stood at her door like this, the moment she saw Zhuo Wailang, there was no emotion on her face, she almost didn't even have the intention to invite them in.

My aunt didn't leave either. Now that things happened, she didn't feel sleepy at all.

Behind Jiu Li, he said in disbelief, "Since he came here to thank you with all sincerity, let's keep those taels."

Jiuli had already seen the taels of silver next to the little boy. Since she came here, she has often touched the taels of silver. She doesn't need to weigh them, she can tell how many there are at a glance.I was worried and didn't know what to say.

Now that my aunt said it.

Zhuo Wailang can still save his own face, can't he?Why is this also the suitor who has been pursuing him for many years?

He glanced down at the little boy, and said in a generous tone, "Thank you very much, Miss Ruan, for fighting that thief, so that the gold can be found. Now give those silver taels to Miss Ruan?"

"This?" The little boy was a little hesitant. Originally, the silver taels were released only after he got the painting, but he didn't expect that the hundred taels of silver would be put in before the painting was mentioned.

While the little boy was hesitating again, Jiu Li took a step forward, brought the silver taels over, and smiled at them, "I appreciate your kindness, and I accept it."

What she meant was very clear, that is, to drive people away.

Zhuo Wailang hurriedly smiled and said politely, "Miss Ruan, the person who stole it said yesterday that he put a painting in Miss Ruan's back basket with his own hands? I don't know if he is here now? My father is in a hurry?"

"Painting?" Jiuli was startled for a moment, and said with a serious look, "Did he say he put it in my back basket himself?"

"Yes." The little boy finally spoke, and said, "That thief put it in the girl's back basket himself."

"I didn't see it when I just entered the door." After Jiuli finished speaking, she turned around and walked a few steps into a room, and then walked out with her small pannier.

She opened the top layer first, and there was nothing but a few trapped herbs.

Jiuli opened the lower layer again, it was a simple medicine box, without any so-called picture scroll at all.

After that, Jiu Li looked up at them, and said helplessly, "You see, my place is empty, there is nothing."

Zhuo Wailang and Xiao Tong looked at each other, and the message in their eyes was unknown.Jiuli turned her head, looked at her aunt seriously, and said, "Auntie? Did you take the things in my back basket just now?"

The aunt snorted coldly, turned and left.

Jiuli had no choice but to turn her head to look at them, and said frankly, "At present, there are only me and my aunt in the house. I haven't seen her. I asked my aunt just now. Excuse me?"

Jiuli spread his hands, looking helpless.

Zhuo Wailang and Xiao Tong looked at each other again, and the two could only smile and leave.
