After the Hou family's mistress went crazy, she became the favorite of the entire capital.

Chapter 35: Angry old guy to death

This is Ho Tung Sheng's masterpiece. It's hard to buy for a lot of money. People wanted to hang it up high, but they didn't even put a scroll on it, just rolled it up.

How dare he cause such trouble!
Mrs. Liang was so distressed that she almost reached out to snatch it away.

He Wangzhou seemed invisible and pretended to be concerned: "Mother doesn't look well. Is it because she hasn't had any rest?"

He sat down on his own, called the maid to pour him tea, and casually put the painting aside.

As if he was afraid that the painting would run away, he pressed it down with his hand.

Liang's heart almost jumped out of her chest when she saw what he had said.

"Be careful."

She walked over in two or two steps, obviously very anxious, but she still had to pretend to ask.

"Is this the painting by He Dongsheng?"

He Wangzhou took a sip of tea and put it down casually, "Yes, that's the painting."

His hand shook deliberately when he dropped the tea cup, and a lot of tea spilled. Liang quickly took the painting away and inspected it carefully with wide eyes.

Shu Yan looked at it and almost laughed out loud.

She held back her laughter and held He Wangzhou's hand for a heart-wrenching moment, "Husband, you weren't burned, were you?"

Turning around, she complained to Mrs. Liang again, "Mom, you rushed down suddenly and scared my husband."

Mrs. Liang felt angry when she heard this. In front of her mother-in-law, who was calling her husband to?

The Shu family really doesn't know how to raise their daughter, so shameless!

Ignoring the anger, Liang opened the scroll and took a look, and was immediately impressed by the landscape in the painting.

"Sure enough, most people can't draw such majestic and beautiful paintings."

The corners of He Wangzhou's lips curled up, and he used the action of drinking tea to hide the seriousness in his smile.

Shu Yan didn't have such good concentration as him, so he laughed out loud.

Mrs. Liang glared at her, "Why are you laughing?"

Shu Yan said hurriedly: "When I found the painting that day, I took a look at it and only saw that the mountains and rivers were beautiful. How could I have thought of using the word majestic and beautiful? My mother has the insight."

Liang was naturally proud of being praised.

After she married into the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion as a stepmother and became his wife, her vision became higher and higher, but she forgot that her mother's family was also a small family.

Because of this relationship, she was famous in front of others, but she was talked about and made fun of behind her back. She cried countless times that night.

Now that Shu Yan praised her like this, she felt comfortable.

She put the painting next to her hand, wiped her hand carefully with a handkerchief, and then touched it several times lovingly.

"Just leave the painting with me for now, and I'll think about it myself. I'll send it to you after a while."

Shu Yan said generously, "If mother likes it, just leave it alone."

Seeing the deepening smile on Mrs. Liang's lips, Shu Yan added, "I'll come and get it from my mother when I need it. After all, it's my dowry. I can't keep it with my mother all the time. If word gets out, It doesn’t sound good.”

Ms. Liang loves face very much. If people knew that she was coveting her daughter-in-law's dowry, how would she behave?

She stiffened her mouth and reluctantly took back her hand. That was natural. As your mother-in-law, how could I covet your dowry? "

Mrs. Liang's eyes turned to He Wangzhou again, "Wangzhou, have you been hanging out with Mr. Liang lately?"

He Wangzhou put down the tea cup and sighed: "I don't know why, but he hasn't played with me recently. The last time we met on the street, he ignored me when I called him."

Mr. Liang was anxious.

"Why are you ignoring him? Did you offend him?"

"It's impossible, it's impossible. We had the best time before."

He changed his voice and asked Mrs. Liang: "Mother, isn't it the second brother who offended him?" "Impossible." Mrs. Liang's eyes dodge: "Your brother can only read, and he is not even like you... How can you possibly offend him by contacting him?”

Liang's words made her panic.

Although the Holy One did not publicly state that He Zhengyuan had plagiarized other people's articles because of the reputation of He Zhengyuan, the Marquis of Jing'an, how could the Liang family not know about these things as they were ministers of the Ministry of Rites and were in the first rank?
This is the most despicable behavior for the children of the Gaofu clan. This is the only reason why the Liang family's young master does not associate with He Wangzhou.

Liang's expression changed, and the anxiety in her eyes became increasingly difficult to hide.

He Wangzhou knew that the counselor was asking, "Why does mother only speak half of what she says? What does the second brother say to them? Who are they?"

Pretending to be stupid was He Wangzhou's strong point, so Shu Yan would not compete with him.

Seeing his lazy look and his innocent and sincere tone, which made Mr. Liang so angry that he almost carried him away, Shu Yan felt so happy in his heart.

Without a word, Liang said she was tired and asked them to go back first.

After leaving the bedroom, Shu Yan deliberately let the people in the room hear him and made the old man angry.

"Husband, is mother dying? Why are you tired just after you woke up?"

He Wangzhou said very politely, "Maybe I just came back from the mountains and I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

Mrs. Liang in the room was so angry that she wanted to throw things, but finally endured it.

Madam Liang took out a few banknotes heartbrokenly, "Go quickly, say hello to the second young master, and ask him to think of a way to coax He Wangzhou first and ask him to take him to meet the two young masters. First, talk to the Liang family Young master, please build a good relationship."

Shu Yan had discussed it with He Wangzhou yesterday. They would take the medicinal materials from Shopkeeper Xu's shop there and deal with them first. He Wangzhou also gave them some connections. Shu Yan was preparing to discuss this matter today.He Wangzhou wanted to rush to Fifth Master to discuss with him and send away the people who were not sick as soon as possible.

Just as he was about to leave the house, Ah Si hurried over and whispered a few words in He Wangzhou's ear.He Wangzhou's expression changed slightly and he told Shu Yan.

"Something happened, don't touch the medicinal materials yet."

He left these words and hurried out of the house with Ah Si.

Shu Yan's heart sank.

Those refugees outside the city may have been discovered!
Got it!

Last night she told Shopkeeper Xu to send the medicinal materials away early, and they must have been loaded into the car by now.

If we delay for a while longer, the carriage may have to leave.

She hurriedly left the house and rushed to her shop as quickly as possible.

After walking for a while, the carriage suddenly stopped. Shu Yan lifted up the curtain and took a look. Only then did they reach Chengnan Street.

"what happened?"

The driver pointed to the front, "It's blocked. I'm afraid we'll have to wait a while before we can leave."

Shu Yan couldn't wait any longer.

She jumped out of the carriage and asked the driver to go back first.

Before he could take two steps forward, he heard a few delicate smiles and low mocking sounds.

She looked up and saw two women standing at the window of the restaurant. One was Huang Shuyao, the daughter of Huang Shilang, and the other was Zhou Huiyun, the daughter of Zhou Yushi's family. They were both her former friends.

And standing in the middle was Lin Jinan.

"Why did I meet you again? I didn't look at the almanac when I went out today. It's really unlucky."

"You can't say that. She is now the young lady of the Marquis of Jing'an Mansion, and she is very proud."

"He Wangzhou came in with a prostitute in his arms on the wedding day. If I were her, she would have been hanged with a rope. How dare she come out and embarrass herself?"

Shu Yan's heart suffocated.

She had never thought these two could be so mean in their words before.

　Please keep warm, everyone. People around you are already falling ill.
