Doting on concubines and destroying wives? I don’t want to be the mistress of the Hou clan anymore.

Chapter 16 Imitation Painting
Lin Miaofu originally thought she would have to wait two days for a reply from Jianghuai. Unexpectedly, the news came just after breakfast that day.

Hearing what the shopkeeper said, he was still a little anxious, so he was waiting in the golden building.

"Did he say anything?"

Lin Miaofu asked the shopkeeper as she walked out.

The shopkeeper shook his head: "The man only said that after seeing the madam."

Lin Miaofu walked in a hurry and happened to run into Liang Yuqi before going out.

He was a little surprised: "Where are you going?"

"Go out and buy something." Lin Miaofu answered very perfunctorily.

Liang Yuqi frowned: "Dear Madam Hou Men, what does it look like to go out alone? Bring a few more servants with you, don't make people think that my Hou family is a little family."

"Don't bother Mr. Hou to worry about it," Lin Miaofu said, "I can't go there to buy some gadgets. I won't lose the face of the Hou Mansion."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

Liang Yuqi looked at her back, frowning so hard that he could pinch a fly to death.

He asked the boy next to him in a low voice: "Has Madam been out frequently during this period?"

The boy said: "I go out every three or five days, but I usually come back in one or two hours."

Liang Yuqi nodded and asked no more questions.

"Madam, if we go out like this, the Marquis won't be angry, right?" Xiaolian was still a little worried.

In the recent period, Madam has not gone to greet Mr. Zheng, for fear that if things go on like this, there will be more and more conflicts.

After all, they haven't reconciled yet, and they still have to live here.

"Don't worry." Lin Miaofu raised her lips slightly, "He doesn't dare."

Xiaolian didn't know where Madam's confidence came from, but she was willing to believe in Lin Miaofu.

The driver was very steady, but something else happened. As soon as Lin Miaofu got off the carriage, she was startled by a pair of men and horses galloping at lightning speed.

The man galloped past on his horse, and when he turned around, he saw Lin Miaofu whose curtains were blown up by the wind.

Lin Miaofu felt astonished as they looked at each other.

Without him, this man is too handsome.

The eyebrows are picturesque, but not feminine, but more beautiful than ordinary women.

When she came back to her senses, Lin Miaofu realized that she had been staring for too long.

He immediately averted his gaze.

The person who flew by immediately turned out to be Gu Zhao. It turned out that Gu Zhao could also laugh when he was young.

He is not like the rumors that he has been murderous since childhood.

Next to him was the young Marquis Chen Jue. Although he was also very handsome, he looked childish.

Lin Miaofu had met these two people in her previous life.

It's just that at that time, they were powerful officials and sycophants, and they didn't have a good reputation. It's hard to imagine what kind of changes would have caused such two beautiful young people to go to such a dead end.

In just half a cup of tea, Jiang Huai felt that time had passed so long.

"Why are you so anxious?" Lin Miaofu asked before she entered the door: "Did something happen?"

"Madam," Jiang Huai bowed his hands and said, "It is indeed an emergency."

"Speak slowly, don't be in a hurry."

Jiang Huai was anxious, but he could only hold back his temper and tell the story of the incident.

It turned out that the family he knew suffered a disaster yesterday. The house was burned down by a fire. Only one body was lifted out of the fire, but the two daughters were missing.

"Now I have found some clues," Jiang Huai said, "I would like to ask Madam for help." Jiang Huai's face turned red and he looked very embarrassed.

"Tell me, if I can help, I will definitely help you." Lin Miaofu knew that he was the right-hand man of the powerful minister, and now she could buy him a favor, so she gave it to him.

"I wonder if Madam can give me some money first. I need to find a painting within one day."

Before Lin Miaofu said anything, Xiaolian became a little unhappy: "You ask for money, but have you ever given anything in return to my wife?"

"I don't have the maid who knows kung fu as I promised, and now I want money."

This was said very rudely, making Jiang Huai's face even more ugly.

"Painting?" Lin Miaofu just stopped Xiaolian with her eyes and told her not to say anything.

"It's easy to talk about money. I also like to collect calligraphy and paintings. Maybe I know where the painting you are looking for is."

"That painting is called the Night Tour of the Gods." Jiang Huai looked at Lin Miaofu expectantly and said, "I wonder if Madam knows about it."

"Why do you want this picture?" Lin Miaofu was a little surprised, but she still nodded and said: "I have seen this picture, but I'm afraid you won't be able to get it now."

Later, she told Jiang Huai about the original painting she saw in a painting studio in Yangzhou.

"I remember asking the boss about the whereabouts of this painting, and he said it was bought by an adult named Jiang."

Lin Miaofu didn't tell the truth. She knew where the original painting was.

But no matter what, I can't get it now. For now, I can only make a fake one.

"This……"

This matter is a bit complicated, and Lin Miaofu cannot be deeply involved in it.

However, she still had some ideas to save two lives.

Immediately, he ordered Xiaolian to prepare things.

He arranged for people to light many oil lamps in the study, and also found Luoyang rice paper, silk hanging scrolls, cinnabar, and some radishes.

At this point Jiang Huai already understood what Lin Miaofu was going to do. He was shocked and said, "Madam, are you sure you can paint that painting?"

"I met it by chance, and I still remember the rough outline... You have to be calm when painting. Don't talk to me."

I saw Lin Miaofu splashing ink, and within a moment, she drew a picture.

But she looked at it carefully, frowned, put the paper aside, and started painting again.

After drawing dozens of pictures in a row, Lin Miaofu stopped. At this time, it was completely dark outside.

Lin Miaofu carefully compared each painting, and then sighed: "As expected, I still can't imitate his charm."

As far as Jianghuai is concerned, in fact, every painting is similar.

He couldn't see any subtle differences here.

"I think it's all good."

As soon as this happened, Lin Miaofu glared at her: "What do you know?"

"If this painting is found to be fake, it will cost two lives."

"There is nothing we can do about this. Where can we get it for real now? Shouldn't we give it a try?" Jiang Huai sighed.

He didn't know whether the Wen sisters were lucky or bad.

Lin Miaofu had no time to talk to him now.

After choosing the painting, I mounted it on the scroll and started carving the carrot seal with my hands.

Xiaolian knew her lady's craftsmanship, so she said, "Don't worry. When my wife was a girl, she found someone to learn how to imitate paintings. Although she won't be able to fool experts, it is more than enough to fool ordinary people. of."
