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

Bo Jinnian asked someone to keep an eye on the servant, rushed back home, told Shen Yiran everything that had happened before and after the investigation, and watched Shen Yiran's reaction carefully.

"Does he have a mole? I once had his hair combed. Just ask the maid and you'll know."

Bai Zhi came in and heard the question, thought for a moment and said, "It should be no. When I combed my hair with hair oil, I didn't find a mole on the back of my neck."

Shen Yiran trusted Bai Zhi's words and did not speak to wait for Bo Jinnian's judgment.

"What's the point of pretending to be Dong Xizhou?"

Shen Yiran shook his head: "I don't know either. But I think this person's actions are quite high-profile. He knows that the auction house absolutely cannot tolerate counterfeits, but he dares to do so."

"Before, I just thought he wanted to take a gamble, but now I think he might have other intentions. What does the Marquis plan to do?"

Bo Jinnian thought for a moment and said, "Since he is in the store, my lady, please send someone to keep an eye on him. He will be exposed sooner or later. I will secretly investigate what happened back then."

Shen Yiran smiled and said, "That's easy, just leave it to me, sir."

After Dong Xizhou had dressed up, he looked handsome and attracted many women to come and paint their fans. Many women begged him to paint their portraits, but Dong Xizhou refused.

As soon as Shen Yiran left, the shopkeeper came up to complain.

"The customer asked for a portrait, but he refused to paint it, saying that he was a landscape painter and didn't know how to paint a figure."

"I asked him to come down and study, but he waved his brush and said he only knew how to paint landscapes, and if he wanted to paint figures, he should find someone else!"

Shen Yiran smiled softly and consoled the shopkeeper, "Since the customers are all here for him, it means he has some talent. Even if he is a little aloof, just tolerate him. I will warn him to listen to you."

The shopkeeper had no choice but to agree.

Shen Yiran called Dong Xizhou in and casually asked him about some ordinary trivial matters.

Dong Xizhou didn't look happy and was very impatient when answering.

Bai Zhi couldn't help but scolded, "How can you talk to your master like that? You said you were once an official family, so you have thrown away all the rules, right?"

Dong Xizhou heard this and frowned, "I did what I should do, what else do you want?"

Shen Yiran chuckled and said, "I didn't ask you to do anything. The business of the store has improved since you came. I think you are good, so just do your best."

"And you need to listen to the shopkeeper's words. If I hear you breaking the rules too much again, I will punish you."

After he finished speaking, Shen Yiran's expression relaxed again: "Go ahead."

Dong Xizhou went down with a stern face.

Bai Zhi looked at Shen Yiran and said, "I thought my wife was going to interrogate him."

Shen Yiran shook his head: "The Marquis said that we should let him reveal his true colors. There is no need to rush."

"Go and ask the shopkeeper to come in and talk."

Bai Zhi led the shopkeeper in and asked him to sit down. Shen Yiran smiled and said, "I have already scolded him, but he has a weird temper. I am also worried that he will cause trouble sooner or later. The shopkeeper needs to pay more attention to him."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he wished it would happen: "Don't worry, Madam San, I will keep a close eye on him!"

After everything was arranged, Shen Yiran got up and went out to look at the new fans.

Different signatures on the fan represent different prices. After Dong Xizhou came, his fans became hot commodities.

If nothing unexpected happens, he will become famous soon.

Shen Yiran thought about it and decided to help him.

Mr. Liu doesn't often come to the auction house, but when he heard Shen Yiran's invitation, he naturally came immediately.

Shen Yiran stood up and asked Mr. Liu to sit down before he sat down himself.

"Mr. Liu has a keen eye for talent. Dong Xizhou's business has improved a lot since he came to the fan shop, and his fans are also the most popular."

Mr. Liu was very pleased to hear this and bowed his hands to express his gratitude: "It's all thanks to my lady. If it weren't for your help and arranging a good position for him, he wouldn't have the good fortune he has today."

Shen Yiran asked Bai Zhi to deliver a few folding fans he brought with him to Mr. Liu.

"This is a painting by Dong Xizhou. Sir, take a look at it too."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liu immediately unfolded his folding fan. As the fan was unfolded, it was as if a small scroll painting was unfolded, with birds, trees, and ponds. Others painted these small paintings, but he must have painted a grand scene.

Each one unfolds into a vivid picture.

“What a meticulous skill!”

Mr. Liu looked at the leaves on the trees, the feathers of the birds, the moon swaying on the lake, the boats docked around, and the distant mountains with thin smoke, and he kept nodding his head in admiration.

Shen Yiran smiled and said, "It seems that his eyes are more careful than ours. He can draw every tiny detail. It's a relief that he has the energy to treat a fan like this."

The more Mr. Liu looked at it, the more he liked it, and it seemed like he couldn't let it go.

Shen Yiran took the opportunity to laugh and said, "Come to think of it, his temper is not good either, and it's similar to what Mr. Liu had before."

Mr. Liu put down his fan and smiled ashamedly, "I was confused at the time. Madam asked me to look at these paintings, and I understood what Madam meant. I will arrange for him to attend a few celebrity banquets."

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Liu."

Shen Yiran was busy arranging for Ji Siyue to go out, when he saw Mr. Liu personally bringing Dong Xizhou to his house.

Ji Siyue looked at Dong Xizhou with curiosity.

Shen Yiran immediately led Ji Siyue into the carriage: "Bai Zhi will take you there. Mother will come to see you in a few days."

Ji Siyue smiled and nodded, holding Shen Yiran, rubbing her cheek with hers: "Take care, mother, take care, father."

Shen Yiran smiled and told the driver to set off, nodded to Bai Zhi, and then turned around.

Dong Xizhou stared at Ji Siyue's carriage in thought, and only looked away when Shen Yiran came over.

Shen Yiran saw this and led them in.

Dong Xizhou did not lift his foot: "I consider myself of low status and dare not set foot in the mansion of a wealthy family. Let's talk outside if we have something to say."

Mr. Liu looked embarrassed when he heard this and turned to look at Shen Yiran.

Shen Yiran smiled faintly: "I don't have anything to say, I just want you to help me draw a folding screen, I'm waiting to give it to someone."

Dong Xizhou was displeased when he heard this, but he had no choice but to go in.

As soon as he entered the study, a maid came up and led him to sit in front of the desk.

Shen Yiran invited Mr. Liu to sit aside and play chess with him. He did not say when he would hand in the work, and just let Dong Xizhou paint.

Dong Xizhou knew that they were testing his skills, so he focused and started painting without saying a word.

Shen Yiran turned his head and looked at his painting habits. It seemed that he already had a draft in his mind before he put pen to paper, and he did not change it once he started painting, and was precise and careful.

Because there is no need to color, even if he draws a flower or bird more carefully than others, he can still do it much faster than others.

Shen Yiran and Mr. Liu were playing chess leisurely while watching him write.

After two games, he had finished painting one side of the screen.

"Sir, you are so talented, I really saw it!"
