At this moment, Wen Guanbin's voice appeared at the door.

"Which one is Master Zhang's painting?"

Everyone looked up and saw Wen Guanbin stepping into the room.

Wen Qingzhu and others immediately stood up and said hello quickly: "Grandpa."

The old lady stood up with Zi Yan's help.

Seeing Wen Guanbin coming over, she explained to Wen Qingxin in a habitual way: "Master, it's just a painting sent by Qi Yatou. I don't even know if it's true or false!"

Wen Guanbin walked to the warm bed, asked the maid who was cleaning up to leave, and he picked up the scroll and opened it to read.

After looking up and down, he immediately frowned, turned around and asked, "Who poured the tea on this!"

When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly asked: "Is this painting an authentic work by Master Zhang?"

Wen Guanbin frowned and nodded: "It's an authentic work, and it's one of the three rare paintings from his later years."

"Ah?" The old lady was also stunned.

Wen Guanbin closed his eyes, then glanced around the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on Wen Qingxin.

The head of the Wen family has always been serious. When he saw it, Wen Qingxin was really scared to tears this time.

"Grandpa, grandpa... Xin'er didn't do it on purpose."

The old lady walked over, protected Wen Qingxin behind her, and persuaded her: "It's just an orchid picture. You scared Xin'er. Why don't you let Ji Hua go find another one?"

Wen Guanbin pinched his eyebrows and said in a colder voice: "Zhang Qian rarely painted orchids in his life. Do you know how rare this painting is?"

Only then did the old lady realize the seriousness of the problem and opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak.

Wen Guanbin turned around, looked at Wen Qingzhu and asked, "Did you send this painting?"

Wen Qingzhu nodded and responded in a low voice: "Yes, Master Zhang's only painting is this one."

Hearing this, Wen Guanbin frowned even more.

Looking back at the old lady and the others, he asked Wen Qingzhu: "Didn't you say this painting is authentic? How come you just put it on the warm bed!"

"The granddaughter said it, but sister Xin'er suspected that it was not true, and the granddaughter couldn't provide any evidence, so she just let the maid let it go..."

Wen Qingzhu was terrified on his face, but he was sneering in his heart.

She would rather destroy the painting than let the Wen family use her mother's things to please that person!

In his previous life, Wen Mingliang became friends with the fifth prince Jiang Yuancheng precisely because of Zhuang Yan's copybook.

Later, Wen Guanbin discovered that she still had Zhang Qian's orchid painting. After forcing her to leave, he gave it to Jiang Yuancheng so that he could please the emperor at his birthday banquet.

It was precisely because of this opportunity that he was named King of Chu.

Wen Guanbin's career is not going well and he is looking for connections.

He finally got on Jiang Yuancheng's line, but there was nothing that caught his eye.

Looking at the ruined cliff orchid in front of him, Wen Guanbin was furious and turned back to stare at Wen Qingxin fiercely.

"Starting from today, Wen Shiyi will be grounded for a month, and he will learn the etiquette and rules before coming out!"

After saying that, Wen Guanbin dropped the orchid picture, rolled up his sleeves and left.

"Grandma! Grandma! Xin'er really didn't know this painting was so valuable! Please ask grandma to intercede for Xin'er. Xin'er still wants to spend time with her!"

As soon as Wen Guanbin left, Wen Qingxin immediately knelt down and begged the old lady.

Wen Guanbin rarely failed to give her face, and this time the old lady was annoyed.

She shook off Wen Qingxin, completely hardened her heart, and said coldly: "Go back and reflect on it! As long as Fang'er is with me now!"

"Grandma! Grandma!" Wen Qingxin panicked instantly and immediately knelt down to kowtow.

Unfortunately, this time, the old lady did not raise her eyebrows and ordered: "Zi Yan! Send someone to take Xin'er back!"

Zi Yan took the order and signaled the maid behind her to help Wen Qingxin up.

Wen Qingxin was used to being unruly and immediately struggled and shouted: "You cheap maids! Let me go!"

The old lady looked up and said in a solemn tone: "Xin'er."

Wen Qingxin suddenly broke out in cold sweat.

Only then did she remember that this was Fushou Hall, not a place for her to run wild.

She had no choice but to follow the maid out.

When passing by Wen Qingzhu, she gave Wen Qingzhu a vicious look.

The room finally became quiet, and the old lady looked at Wen Qingzhu.

Wen Qingzhu stood quietly, waiting for his resignation.

Who knows, this time the old lady did not want to punish her, but asked: "Besides the copybook from last time and the painting this time, do you have any other master's things there?"

Wen Qingzhu respectfully replied: "Back to grandma, there are others, but they are all inexpensive paintings and calligraphy. If grandma likes them, just send someone to the warehouse to select them."

"Let me go ahead and pick your mother's dowry? Are you saying that our Wen family is bullying you, a motherless person!" The old lady now looks at Wen Qingzhu more and more dissatisfied.

Wen Qingzhu hurriedly explained: "That's not what my granddaughter meant. These things were all left to me by my mother. The key to the cage was stolen last time, so my granddaughter remembered to take inventory of the things in the warehouse. After searching, she found that this painting was the best, and she thought of giving it to her. Grandma is the most suitable, but unexpectedly, she was chosen by sister Xin'er... "

"Your cage key was stolen?" The old lady frowned.

"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have counted my mother's dowry. Only then did I know that Mr. Zhuang's copybook was a fake." Wen Qingzhu began to gradually fall into the trap.

I remembered what happened with the copybook last time, plus what Wen Qingzhu said today.

The old lady noticed something unusual.

After a while, the old lady asked Wen Qingzhu to leave without asking any more questions.

After bidding farewell to the old lady, Wen Qingzhu took Lu Tao back to the east courtyard of Yanyuan.

After more than an hour of intrigue, Wen Qingzhu felt a little tired and ordered Lu Tao to prepare hot water.

She planned to take a nice bath.

Lying in the bathtub, Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes and let Lu Tao take care of his hair.

At this time, Jasmine stood outside the screen and reported: "Miss, there is something moving in the west courtyard."

"explain."

"In recent days, I have noticed that Lu Yu has been out of the house frequently. Today I found medicinal residue buried in the flowerpot thrown out in the west courtyard."

Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head and asked, "Is anyone sick in the west courtyard?"

"No, that's why I thought it was strange, so I brought some back."

Wen Qingzhu thought for a while, got up, put on a bath towel, and walked out.

"show me."

Jasmine opened a handkerchief and found a messy, dark mess of medicinal residue inside.

Wen Qingzhu picked up a little, crushed it on his fingertips, then put it under his nose and smelled it.

It’s actually this kind of medicine!

A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Wen Qingzhu's mouth.

"Miss, are they okay?" Lu Tao stood nearby, a little worried that Aunt Wu would continue to poison.

"It's okay, Aunt Wu used this medicine on herself."

Wen Qingzhu raised his head, looked at Jasmine and said, "You're doing a good job. I'm going out next month to help you check on your mother's illness."

Jasmine's eyes turned red, and she knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness."

She was not a child born in the Wen family, so she was not accepted elsewhere, so she was assigned to Wen Qingzhu.

After learning about Wen Qingzhu's condition, she still tried her best and only asked for more rewards to treat her mother.

Unexpectedly, Wen Qingzhu actually knew about her family's affairs.

After Jasmine stepped back, Wen Qingzhu went back to take a bath.

Lu Tao sat behind her and massaged her while asking: "Jasmine is quite loyal. I didn't expect that Aunt Yue would really find someone you can use."

Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes and replied: "She has no son now. I helped her gain favor. If she wants to continue to get my support, she will definitely do her best in these matters."

"What if she has a son?" Lu Tao began to worry again.

Wen Qingzhu smiled and said: "Aunt Yue lost her health when she gave birth to Wen Qingmei. It is not easy to get pregnant again. Besides, the one in the west courtyard is not a good person."

"That's good." Lu Tao was relieved.

This side of Fushou Hall.

The old lady sat on the couch and listened to Wan's report in front of her.

"Biyu has already admitted what happened to Mingliang. She said she wanted to have Xiaojiu's intercourse, so she took the initiative and drugged her. She didn't expect that so many people were taking those things."

The old lady didn't look at her and asked calmly: "Does it have anything to do with the master of the second room?"

"It seems so at the moment." Wan knew something inside, but she didn't want the old lady to get the handle on the second room.

"I understand, go down."

"Yes." Wanshi bowed his head and resigned.

When Mrs. Wan left, the old lady raised her head and told Nanny Sun beside her: "Go and call Yun'er."

"Yes." Nanny Lu turned and left the room.

Outside the Fushou Hall, Madam Wan did not leave, but stood waiting under a tree not far away.

After a while, Dong Ling rushed back and said, "Madam, Grandma Lu went to Fuyuan."

Wan immediately tightened her handkerchief and stared in the direction of Fushou Hall, feeling secretly resentful.

After a few seconds, Wanshi calmed down: "Let's go back!"

As long as she is still the eldest wife of the Wen family, Yang, the fourth roommate, can't even think of taking the housekeeper's card from her hand.

The fourth lady, Mrs. Yang, followed Grandma Lu to the Fushou Hall in a hurry.

As soon as she entered the house, she ran over crying and fell into the old lady's arms.

"Aunt! You have to make the decision for Liang'er and Xin'er! They are not only your nephews, but also your direct grandchildren!"

The old lady hugged Yang and comforted her: "I know that I won't let them suffer this loss in vain!"

"Is it poisoned by my sister-in-law? There is also Mingxuan's copybook. Liang'er told me before that it was a fake. Why did he give it away again later! Who is behind the scenes who dislikes the people in our fourth room!"

Yang raised his head and asked the old lady angrily.

The old lady touched her hand and said: "This matter has nothing to do with your sister-in-law. The second room has been a little restless recently. It seems that we need to give them a good beating."

"The people from the second room?" Ms. Yang didn't believe it. "How dare the people from the second room bully our beloved daughter, Xin'er! They've got the heart of a bear and the courage of a leopard!"

"If you have free time these days, go to Yanyuan more often to see the seventh girl or the third child's two aunts. Come back and tell me if there is anything strange."

"Why are you related to the people from the third room again?" Yang became more and more confused.

The old lady taught her sincerely: "Since you want to get the housekeeper's right card, you must first get familiar with the entire Wen family. You are my niece, different from the Wan family."

"Daughter-in-law, I know." Yang nodded, looking like he had been taught something.

Early the next morning, Wen Qingzhu checked the growth of the seedlings in the backyard.

Jasmine walked over from the front and said, "Miss, the Fourth Madam has come to visit you, and she has brought the Ninth Young Master with her."

Wen Qingzhu was startled: "Why are they here?"
