Reborn to be a mistress, she went crazy killing the legitimate daughter

"Then tell me, sir, what role did my father play in this?"

After hearing this, Bo Jinnian could only smile bitterly and said, "It's just a matter of paperwork and procedures. My father-in-law has found a backer now and works as a clerk in the Ministry of Revenue. He has made many friends and probably accepted some benefits and helped a little."

Shen Yiran listened, nodded and sneered: "My father has always boasted of his good reputation, but it turns out that he is just conceited because of his high position."

Bo Jinnian rubbed Shen Yiran's shoulders and comforted him, "Okay, don't worry so much, everything has been resolved."

Shen Yiran pursed his lips, smiled and nodded, then talked about the two children.

"Although they are happy at home, I noticed that they still want to go back, so I have been preparing to send them back in the past few days."

Bo Jinnian smiled trustingly and said, "Madam, please make the arrangements."

The next day, after Bo Jinnian was sent away, the maid brought back the doctor and said that Tuantuan had recovered from the chickenpox and was fine now.

Shen Yiran immediately gave a red envelope to the doctor and sent someone to deliver it back in a horse-drawn carriage. He also sent someone to dismantle the screen of the Songfeng Tower and went to visit Tuantuan in person.

Tuantuan lost a lot of weight due to this illness, so Rong Qingqing deliberately asked her to eat less. She became even thinner due to this illness, and her hands looked like chicken claws.

"Tuantuan is too thin and needs to be nourished. I will ask the kitchen to prepare ginseng soup and send it to you every day."

Rong Qingqing immediately said, "How can a girl just drink ginseng soup? She needs at least one or two ounces of bird's nest every day. If we don't take good care of her, how can she get married in the future?"

Shen Yiran pursed his lips and smiled: "Second sister-in-law has worked hard these days, I will ask the servants to prepare two servings of bird's nest."

Rong Qingqing immediately smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law is really considerate. I will accept it."

Who knew that this news reached Xu's ears, and she immediately sent someone to find Shen Yiran to ask for the bird's nest as well.

"After my eldest sister-in-law gave birth, she ate bird's nest every day. Nowadays, there are many kinds of nourishing foods. It may not be good to eat bird's nest again."

Xu lay on the bed and refused to give up: "Are you complaining that I ate too many nourishing foods and spent money on them? What's wrong with bird's nest? I don't believe I can't eat it!"

Shen Yiran listened, but didn't argue or make any more fuss. He just let it go and ordered that four portions of bird's nests be prepared every day, and the extra portion be sent to Jingxin Hall.

The old lady looked at the bird's nests delivered every day and felt very strange. She asked Qiuju about it, and Qiuju told her what happened the day before.

"It's just a bird's nest, but it's so impressive."

As he said that, he threw the spoon away and turned away.

Qiu Ju advised, "This is also a token of Third Madam's kindness. The old lady needs to take good care of herself so that the Marquis's residence can be stable. Why don't you eat it?"

The old lady shook her head helplessly: "Forget it, take my words, if you want to eat it, make five portions and send it over to Ranran."

Shen Yiran was tidying up Ji Sichengzhun's clothes when Mr. Liu came to pick him up in a carriage.

"Hello, Mr. Liu!"

Ji Sicheng immediately stepped forward to pay his respects and offered his hand to help Mr. Liu get off the carriage.

"Mr. Liu is too polite. Why did you come here in person?"

Mr. Liu chuckled and said, "Firstly, I want to send you to school, and secondly, I have something I want you to take a look at."

After hearing this, Shen Yiran invited Mr. Liu into the house first.

Mr. Liu unfolded a long scroll and spread it out on the long table. It turned out to be a long scroll landscape painting.

Shen Yiran walked around the scroll and looked at it carefully again and again: "He is indeed a talented person, but he should not be painted by a well-known artist. Could he be a new talent discovered by Mr. Liu?"

Mr. Liu nodded and said directly: "He is a poor scholar. His family got into trouble and their property was confiscated. Now he has moved to Kyoto and makes a living by copying the paintings of masters."

When Shen Yiran heard this, he realized that this person was helping to make the counterfeit.

Mr. Liu continued, "It was so real that even the managers of our auction house couldn't tell it apart. It was only when I met the master and mentioned it to him by chance that he said that the painting he had painted was in the hands of someone and it was impossible for it to be circulated on the market."

Shen Yiran understood, pursed his lips and smiled, "Mr. Liu values ​​talent, and wants me to protect this person?"

Mr. Liu bowed and said, "My lady is a kind-hearted person. It was he who almost ruined the reputation of the auction house. He said he wanted to chop off his hand. I couldn't bear it, so I asked my lady for help."

Shen Yiran asked Ji Sicheng to help Mr. Liu up: "Don't worry, Mr. Liu, just send my son to the private school, I will take care of it immediately."

Mr. Liu expressed his gratitude, but Ji Sicheng was curious and wanted to go and see.

"Good boy, you will naturally experience these things when you grow up. Now just study hard."

Ji Sicheng was very obedient and immediately followed Mr. Liu into the carriage.

Shen Yiran immediately took a carriage to the auction house.

When the shopkeeper heard that she was coming, he came out to greet her personally.

"Where is that person?"

Upon hearing this, the shopkeeper ordered someone to bring the man up.

Shen Yiran was sitting in the upper seat, waiting with a teacup in his hand, when he saw a man with disheveled hair being pressed down by two burly men and forced to kneel on the ground.

"How did it happen?"

Shen Yiran said lightly, and one of the strong men forcibly lifted the man's head, pushed his hair back, and made him face Shen Yiran.

The man's eyes flashed with anger, and he glared at Shen Yiran: "I am a seven-foot-tall man, not a pimp, why did you bring me to see a woman!"

Shen Yiran smiled faintly: "He has a bad temper. Let him go. This is not a government office. There is no reason to detain people. I am not an official. I cannot stand kneeling."

The two sturdy men let go of the man, and the man immediately got up, straightened his back, and glared fiercely at the people around him.

"Are you the shopkeeper here?"

Shen Yiran took a sip of tea calmly: "Why do you think so?"

"Humph! They all listen to what you say. Even the shopkeeper is standing next to you, but you are sitting there. If you are not the shopkeeper, then who is the shopkeeper?"

Shen Yiran laughed and did not deny it.

"Mr. Liu thinks you are a talent and asked me to protect you. Do you have any merits that can impress Mr. Liu?"

After hearing what Mr. Liu said, the man calmed down a bit: "Mr. Liu is pregnant with my good thing, and now he is here to protect me, but he is just feeling uneasy."

Shen Yiran raised his eyes, but soon recovered his composure: "You don't want to owe anyone a favor."

The man pursed his lips and said nothing.

"But now that you have owed me a favor, I have decided to let you go. But you have to promise me that you will not paint fakes again."

The man sneered, "It's not easy to keep a good reputation. For the sake of a meal, I have no other way to make a living. Even if you let me go, I can't guarantee anything."

Shen Yiran laughed and said, "Since you have won the favor of Mr. Liu, you must have real talent. I will hire you to paint fans in my shop. Food and accommodation are provided. The more you buy, the more you get. Are you willing to do it?"

The man narrowed his eyes, and there was suspicion in his slender pupils.

"Fool, this is the wife of Marquis Rui, why don't you kneel down and thank her!"
