Soon, Shopkeeper Wen was driven into the Sun Mansion by four servants. He stood in front of Qian obediently and told her everything that had happened.

"..., Madam Qian, this is what happened. Madam Su tried to take it away, and I couldn't do anything about it."

After he finished speaking, the whole main room was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and the dozen or so servants were silent as a mouse.

Everyone knows that Su Qiuting is Qian's Achilles' heel and no one can touch her.

Qian's family's grain business was thriving and they were one of the richest families in the neighboring county. Qian was brought up in a pampered environment.

When the Qian family and the Sun family formed an alliance, after Qian married into the family, Sun Shangwu stayed out all day and night and did not sleep with her for half a year.

Qian stayed alone in her empty room every night, thinking that she had done something wrong and offended her husband.

Later I found out that Sun Shangwu had a childhood sweetheart who was forced by his father to marry him.

And that lover was Su Qiuting.

For more than ten years, Sun Shangwu has always been obsessed with Su Qiuting and has been lukewarm towards Qian.

Qian endured all of this.

Now that bitch surnamed Su was bullying her own daughter, Qian could no longer tolerate it.

"bang"

Qian's face turned purple, veins on her neck popped out, and she slapped the dining table, causing the plates and bowls to clink.

"Mr. Wen, let me ask you a question. The rules you set are: whoever pays the highest price wins!"

Seeing the master of the house get angry, the four servants immediately surrounded Manager Wen, rolling up their sleeves to expose their arms, looking very scary.

Shopkeeper Wen had never seen such a scene before, and his teeth were chattering with fear. He kept saying:

"That's right, that's right, that's right..."

Qian snorted coldly: "How much money did she pay?"

"One thousand five hundred taels, but she said..."

Before Manager Wen could finish his words, he was interrupted by Qian.

"Listen carefully! No matter how much she offers, I will offer 500 taels more than her! Tomorrow at noon! If you don't bring this painting to me, I will tear down your Danning Garden!"

Seeing her mother so angry, Sun Bihe pulled her hand and said, "Mom..."

Qian was angry and pushed her daughter away.

"Don't worry about it! I'm determined to buy this calligraphy and painting! It's up to you whether Mr. Wen lives or dies!"

"Yes Yes Yes……"

"Also! Who is that Feng Yin hermit?!"

"His surname is Chu, his given name is Wen, his courtesy name is Yunjin, and he has just arrived in this county and lives in Taohua Lane..." Shopkeeper Wen replied quickly.

"Lai Fu! Take my visiting card and ask him to come to the Sun Mansion!"

"Fugui! Have someone keep an eye on Danning Garden to prevent anyone from escaping!"

"Wangcai! Ask the master to come back and tell him that his daughter was bullied!"

"mother……"

"Don't say anything. Your mother will make the decision for you!"

……

Shopkeeper Wen walked out of the Sun Mansion with trembling legs. When the cool breeze blew, he found that his whole body was wet.

What the hell is going on? Just selling a painting, why is it such a big deal?

He knew in his heart that Qian's words were not meant to scare him.

Not to mention the Sun family, it would be easy for the Qian family to take the life of a small calligraphy and painting shop owner like him.

Those wealthy families all have warriors and assassins on their payroll, so it doesn't take much effort to kill one or two people without anyone noticing.

……

"Don't even think about it! Her money is money! Isn't my money money!?"

Su Qiuting was sitting in the pavilion in the backyard of the Su family mansion, and she scolded Shopkeeper Wen who came to ask for the painting.

"Five hundred taels, humph! I still say the same thing, no matter who it is, no matter how much they bid, I will offer one hundred taels more than her!"

Shopkeeper Wen stamped his feet in anxiety: "My dear aunt, you are going to kill me!"

"Are you afraid that I don't have money?"

Su Qiutong suddenly stood up and said to the maid standing beside her:

"Yunxiang! Take two thousand one hundred taels of silver notes and give them to Shopkeeper Wen. The remaining amount will be settled tomorrow."

After saying this, regardless of Shopkeeper Wen's pleading, Su Qiuting walked straight out of the pavilion and went back to the main house.

……

Shopkeeper Wen held two thousand one hundred taels of silver in his hand as if he were holding a pile of charcoal.

Two thousand one hundred taels, he could get two hundred and ten taels just from commission, but Shopkeeper Wen couldn't be happy at all.

With this price, you can buy a painting of a lady by the famous painter and calligrapher Bobby Au-yeung.

How can you buy things like this?

One is forcible grabbing, the other is forcible buying.

Those who rob will lose money, and those who buy by force will not only lose money but also take lives.

But there is only one painting, what should I do?

And there’s Magistrate Zhao’s daughter, who was making such a fuss in the store. If she knew that the calligraphy and paintings had been bought by someone else, there’s no telling what she would do.

Shopkeeper Wen stood in Taohua Lane for a full quarter of an hour, not knowing where to go.

While I was confused, I suddenly thought: This matter was caused by Chu Yunjin, and he also lives in Taohua Lane, why don’t I go to him to discuss it.

……

The sky gradually darkened, and Huayanjiaoyu and Shiqinghuayi sat on the stone bench in the yard with sad faces.

The four people were like eggplants hit by frost, and no one even took a bite of the cakes and pastries brought by the old monk.

"It's not a big deal, it's only seven days. I don't know what you are worried about. I, Master, have been here for a month before."

The old monk held Xiu'er in his arms, looking nonchalant.

Xiu'er held Poria Cocos Paste in her left hand and Steamed Curd with Sugar in her right hand. Her cheeks were puffed up: "Brother...Brother..."

"Roll, roll ...

The old monk said this and put Xiu'er on the ground with a look of disgust.

at this time.

"dong dong dong"

There was a knock on the door outside the yard.

The five people in the yard were shocked.

"The master is back!"

"The master is back!"

Hua Yanqiaoyu stood up suddenly and ran towards the front yard. In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot, leaving only two afterimages behind him.

The old monk was stunned.

This, this, this is running too fast!

Shiqing also quickly stood up and walked hurriedly to the front yard, followed closely by Huayi.

The old monk curled his lips fiercely, bent down, picked up Xiu'er, and followed.

Lai Fu, holding Qian's visiting card, came to the former Xu Mansion, now the home of Feng Yin Jushi.

As soon as I knocked on the door, it opened with a whoosh.

As the door opened, Lai Fu saw two stunning girls.

Lai Fu’s education level was too low to describe that beauty in words. He could only bleed from his nose twice to show his respect.

"who are you?"

Hua Yan Qiao Yu was extremely disappointed when she saw that the person outside the door was not the owner but a strange man with a bleeding nose.

"I, I, my name is Lai Fu."

Hua Yanqiaoyu looked at the two streaks of blood from her nose and couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"what happened to you?"

Lai Fu came to his senses after hearing this and quickly wiped the blood from his nose with his sleeve, leaving a blood mark on his face.

"I am a servant of the Sun family, and I am here with Madam Qian's greeting card, asking to see Feng Yin."

Hua Yan Qiao Yu was so sad that she had no time to care about others. Upon hearing this, she slammed the door shut.

Lai Fu was left alone, disheveled in the wind.

Alas, Sun family!

Mrs. Qian, oh!

Just closed the door?

This……

This……

How am I going to report back?

Lai Fu was stunned for a while, but decided to try knocking on the door again, thinking that perhaps the other party did not hear his identity clearly.

"dong dong dong"

Lai Fu had just knocked on the door three times when it creaked open again.

What caught Lai Fu's eyes were two more stunning women.

The painting is dressed in mortal clothes
