"It's a long journey to the capital, Miss Shen has to go to get this painting at the expense of danger, it's very hard work, I really feel sorry for this old man."

Yuan Dongyuan was sitting upright, wearing a navy blue robe, he was in high spirits, with a kind smile on his face.Unlike Shen Yilan who has been traveling outside for several days, the old owner of the village stays in the village every day, eating delicious food and being served by someone, and looks much more energetic than Shen Yilan.

It's just that his words distorted black and white, insisting that Shen Yilan's act of stealing paintings was what she wanted to do.

Shen Yilan was unavoidably dissatisfied, but he was polite on the face, saluted, and said: "The original owner is polite, the younger generation can't always come to Wuzheng Villa empty-handed. If this painting can be entered With the eyes of the owner, this trip in the capital is not a hard thing."

Yuan Dongyuan laughed and laughed, noncommittal, and the two servants behind him were also used to these scenes, and walked forward in time with the wooden box in their hands.

They just stood in front of Shen Yilan, with indifferent expressions, it can be seen that this box is definitely not a gift for her.

Shen Yilan subconsciously glanced at Yuan Suiyun, Yuan Suiyun lowered his head slightly, with a gentle smile on his face, and did not respond to her.

A wooden box was opened, and a painting unfolded in front of the two.

The thick ink and heavy colors of the landscape painting can only be seen as majestic from a distance, but you can't help but marvel at the fineness of each stroke when you look up close.

It is still the faintly weird meticulous landscape painting.

No one in the room planned to speak up.

Shen Yilan hesitated for a while, he really didn't understand what Yuan Dongyuan was thinking, and he didn't want to waste time here.Seeing that Yuan Suiyun still didn't react at all, she could only kindly remind him, "It's still the same painting as last time."

Yuan Suiyun finally moved, but smiled helplessly at her.

He wished Shen Yilan could say a few words less.

Yuan Dongyuan smirked again, and continued: "Miss Shen has good eyesight, this is indeed the painting I showed Miss Shen before."

Shen Yilan smiled and nodded. .

Yuan Dongyuan asked again: "Miss Shen, what do you think is different between today's painting and the ones you have seen before?"

His accent fell on the word 'different', but his eyes swept Yuan Suiyun intentionally or unintentionally, as if he meant something.Shen Yilan was taken aback, remembering what Yuan Suiyun said before.

Along with the servants, there was also a painting.

That is the half of the treasure map.

The real painting has been lost, so what is this painting?Fake copy?

Her mind was in a mess, and she suddenly realized "oh".

Tsk tsk, I didn't expect that Yuan Suiyun would lie to even his father when he told a lie.

Under the gaze of everyone, Shen Yilan replied cheekily: "I found out that this painting is indeed different from what I have seen before. Look, there is an extra wooden box next to it. There must be another painting in the wooden box." .”

There was confusion and embarrassment in the air.

Shen Yilan really wanted to give her a thumbs up for her wit in changing the subject in a timely manner.

Yuan Dongyuan's face froze, he coughed, and said: "Shen...it's true. There is indeed a painting in this wooden box, and this painting is the one Miss Shen brought back from the capital without hesitation. But the old man would rather Let me ask Miss Shen first, has Miss Shen seen this painting before?"

Shen Yilan nodded, "I've seen it before, don't check the authenticity, what if I get it wrong."

Yuan Dongyuan nodded in satisfaction, and ordered someone to open the wooden box.

Just as the dark red wooden box was opened, revealing a corner of the scroll, Shen Yilan's expression changed.After the servants took out the painting and unfolded it, Shen Yilan's expression could no longer be ugly.

The painting is the one she got, but it is not the same as when she got it.

Compared with the previous landscape painting, this painting is much plainer and less stunning, so even though Young Lord Qiu got this painting, he didn't treat it as a treasure and put it away carefully.It's just that now, the color on this painting is much stronger than the painting next to it.

A large piece of dark red is like an ugly birthmark, directly covering most of the painting, and you can barely see the meaning of a few landscapes on it.When Shen Yilan was fleeing for his life, that painting was also affected by the fight, and there were several cracks on the canvas where blood had seeped into it, so there was no trace of a famous painting. Compared with the painting on the side, it was more like a fake. More like a fake.

If the treasure can still be found in this way, Shen Yilan really has nothing to say.

She looked at the picture with a heavy heart.

She swears that although she had other intentions to go to the capital city, she never intended to prevent Wuzheng Villa from finding the treasure.

Just such a treasure can make Yuan Dongyuan trust her and make Yuan Suiyun have no time to take care of her, so why not do it?

But now, half of the treasure map in the villa was stolen the day before she came back, and the treasure map she brought back was destroyed by such a coincidence, let alone make Yuan Dongyuan trust her. She was the one who was most suspicious of the competition in the villa.

Yuan Dongyuan opened his mouth and said: "As Miss Shen saw, this painting has already been destroyed. The famous painting has been destroyed, this old man is really heartbroken."

Shen Yilan blinked, waiting for his next words.

"Since Miss Shen has seen the original appearance of this painting, why not let Miss Shen restore this painting?"

Shen Yilan was so frightened that his legs almost went limp.

Although she really wanted to gain Yuan Dongyuan's trust, but...

"She doesn't know how to paint." Yuan Suiyun took a step forward and rescued her in time, "Father, Miss Shen once said that she doesn't know how to paint. I'm afraid it will be difficult for her to restore famous paintings."

Shen Yilan didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, but Yuan Dongyuan immediately said: "Where are you thinking, when did the old man say that Miss Shen should paint with her own hands?"

Painting without hands seems to be much more difficult than painting with hands?

Shen Yilan looked at her hands, then shifted her gaze to her feet covered by her skirt.

"The old man has invited an artist to repaint the painting, but the artist has never seen the original painting, so I want Miss Shen to help with it. This is not difficult, but it will take some time. I just don't know if Miss Shen is willing to stay in Wuzheng Villa for more It's time."

Shen Yilan paused, never expecting that Yuan Dongyuan made such a big circle, but wanted to keep her in Wuzheng Villa.

Could it be that he wanted to put her under house arrest in disguise?

But what's the good of putting her under house arrest?

Shen Yilan was still hesitating, but Yuan Suiyun spoke first, "Even if we restore this painting, we may not be able to find the treasure map. Why did father bother so much?"

"Hey, that's what I said, but this..."

Yuan Suiyun interrupted him, saying: "Miss Shen is still injured, so it's not appropriate to worry about it."

Yuan Dongyuan looked at him hesitantly, and then cast a questioning look at Shen Yilan.

Shen Yilan only thought that the two of them were deliberately forcing her to express her opinion, and reluctantly twitched the corners of her mouth, "It turns out..."

"It's just a treasure map of unknown origin. Father doesn't need to care about it. Within half a month, the child will definitely offer a big gift." He stood up straight, with a confident look, and said, "This big gift must be bigger than the gift." The so-called treasure is much more interesting."

A gift much more interesting than a treasure.

A great gift that satisfied Yuan Dongyuan.

Yuan Dongyuan is satisfied with the big gift, I am afraid it is not a good thing to see people.

Shen Yilan's expression was complicated, he didn't know whether to be grateful for Yuan Suiyun's timely step forward, or to be indignant for those evil things he did.

She pursed her lips tightly and said nothing.Seeing that Yuan Dongyuan agreed to Yuan Suiyun's request with a smile, the disgust in her heart became even stronger.

Yuan Dongyuan seemed to have noticed her expression, as if he had just learned of the news that she was injured, and put on a look of surprise and worry, and asked, "What did you just say, what did Miss Shen say this time?" Xing was injured?"

Yuan Suiyun took a step back, and then stood in a row with Shen Yilan again.Shen Yilan smiled and said, "It's just a minor injury, nothing to worry about."

Yuan Dongyuan looked pale with shock, pointing to the blood-stained painting, "Could it be that the blood on this painting belongs to Miss Shen?"

Like, pretending too much.

Shen Yilan nodded with a smile, and replied respectfully: "The junior didn't do his job properly, and thought that the painting was so heavily wrapped that it shouldn't be damaged, but I didn't expect it to be..."

Yuan Dongyuan had already stood up, and said seriously: "It's just a painting, people are much more important than this painting. Miss Shen is very skilled in martial arts, who did you meet on this trip, and how did you get hurt so badly?"

The topic brought up her visit to the capital again.

Shen Yilan wanted to brush this matter aside, so he just said indifferently: "It's really a coincidence this time, the masters from the Daming Mansion are also in the Hou Mansion. I was negligent for a while, and they found the trace. I'm not as skilled as others, so I can't blame others. "

"A master of the Daming Mansion? This..." Yuan Dongyuan raised his eyebrows slightly.

If it is said to be a master of the Daming Mansion, it is normal for Shen Yilan to lose.

But the master of the Daming Mansion, why would he go to the Hou Mansion as a guest if he has nothing to do.If it is for such a painting that experts from the Daming Mansion are specially invited to guard it, it would be like making a fuss over a molehill.What's more, the news of the pirated painting should not be spread to the outside world.

When Shen Yilan thought about it, he felt that he had said too little, and if he didn't mention Chu Liuxiang, the two of them would definitely not believe that the master of the Daming Mansion was also in the Hou Mansion.As for Chu Liuxiang's theft of the Nine Dragon Cup, Yuan Suiyun must have known about it long ago, so she didn't have to cover it up.However, she thought that with Yuan Dongyuan's suspicious personality, she would definitely make a fuss about this topic, and it would not be too late for her to answer at that time.

Yuan Dongyuan walked a few steps along the table, but asked, "With your skill, you shouldn't have fallen so far."

Shen Yilan blinked, and said in a low voice: "My martial arts..."

"The old man once heard that Miss Shen is the proud disciple of Mrs. Shenyin, so there is no need to be modest."

Shen Yilan didn't know why, and was afraid of being caught in some trap, so she insisted: "My martial arts are really..."

"The old man is old, and he doesn't like to dance knives and sticks on weekdays. He just enjoys paintings, drinks tea, and lives a normal life. It's just that the old man heard from Suiyun that Miss Shen is pregnant with the long-lost 'Feng Wu Nine Heavens'. 'Secret technique, although I can't learn it, I hope I can see it."

Shen Yilan's heart skipped a beat.

What should come, is still coming.
