Yan Qing asked Qing Song to go back to the house first, and Uncle Feng, who went downstairs, guarded the counter, and she went to cook for the children.

As soon as Jiu'er and Zhen'er saw that Shiniang had entered the back hall, they also followed in to help.

At the end of the day, Aunt Li, who had gone to the Sanzu Temple, came back.

Yan Qing cooked the meal and let the children eat first, while she, her husband, and Uncle Feng waited for Aunt Li to come back and eat together.

Su Jin sent Luo Yitou back, took a few words with his wife, and then entertained the painter.

Night fell, and it was freezing outside. Aunt Li went to Sanzu Temple and didn't come back, and the children sat hungry in the hall around the table and guessed riddles.

At this time, only the three or five art galleries were still watching the paintings and calligraphy, and they had no intention of leaving.

Yan Qing smiled when he heard this: "Auntie, go! It's just hard for you, you've been working hard for me and my husband! To have this blessing is already the best reward God has given us."

Aunt Li couldn't close her mouth and said happily: "If you talk about good fortune, it's not my blessing to meet you and Mr. Su." Okay, then I'll go to the temple."

Yan Qing responded affectionately and watched Aunt Li go out.

"Don't pursue it? Have you returned her money?" Luo asked in surprise.

"Well, it's returned!" Yan Qing didn't regret it and said: "But it's not a one-time return, eighty taels of silver are taken in four times, which can be regarded as a lesson."

"Heh! Mrs. Su is really a bodhisattva, if she is allowed to fall into our hands, she will be imprisoned. Na Cheng, since you have done this yourself, I will spare the woman for the time being. There are still cases waiting to be dealt with when I go back later, and Luo will leave first!" Luo Yitou said with a smile.

Su Jin sent Luo Yitou out of the gallery.

As soon as this matter became clear, Aunt Li didn't have to worry too much, she smiled and said: "Xiaoqing! We are just too good at talking, with a good heart, and good people will always have good rewards." Then I'll go to the Sanzu Temple now to retrieve the white silk and burn it, and that plate of pig blood should also be poured, it's disgusting to look at."

Yan Qing smiled when he heard this: "Auntie, let's go! It's just hard for you, you've been working hard for me and my husband! To have this blessing is already the best reward God has given us."

"Heh! Mrs. Su is really a bodhisattva, if she is allowed to fall into our hands, she will be imprisoned. Na Cheng, since you have done this yourself, I will spare the woman for the time being. There are still cases waiting to be dealt with when I go back later, and Luo will leave first!" Luo Yitou said with a smile.

Su Jin sent Luo Yitou out of the gallery.

As soon as this matter became clear, Aunt Li didn't have to worry too much, she smiled and said: "Xiaoqing! We are just too good at talking, with a good heart, and good people will always have good rewards." Then I'll go to the Sanzu Temple now to retrieve the white silk and burn it, and that plate of pig blood should also be poured, it's disgusting to look at."

There are still cases waiting to be dealt with when I go back later, and Luo will leave first!" Luo Yitou said with a smile.

"Hmm!" Yan Qing smiled again and nodded, and watched Mrs. Wu walk out of the gallery.

In the evening.

Luo Yantou brought the news again, he found the criminal, and hurriedly walked to Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, who were placing calligraphy and paintings, and said to them: "Mr. Su, Mrs. Su, I found the criminal, it is Wu Taoren's wife, that is, the Li family."

Listening, Su Jin and Yan Qing didn't react much, they looked at each other and smiled, Yan Qing told Luo Yantou and said: "I'm tired of Brother Luo, today Li came to the gallery with the three calligraphy and paintings that Mr. Wu bought before, she wanted to return the silver taels, and she agreed." This matter, I discussed it with my husband and didn't pursue it, but I bothered Luo to find out the matter after running forward, so that we couldn't go away."

"Don't pursue it? Have you returned her money?" Luo asked in surprise.

"Well, Aunt Li, help Mrs. Wu get up! Let the lively people outside disperse!" Yan Qing said, put the twenty taels of silver into the money bag, and did not return it to Mrs. Wu immediately, but smiled and apologized to the painters first: "I'm really sorry for you, disturbing your Yaxing of watching calligraphy and painting."

"No problem!" The painters saw that Mrs. Su understood the righteousness, and they all admired her, if this happened to them, there would never be a return of the silver taels, not to mention that the woman had done something unfavorable to Hongyantang.

"I know... I've done something sorry for the gallery, I'm really confused!" the woman wiped her tears, got up, and took Aunt Li's hand tightly and told her.

"Whether you are confused or not, if you do something wrong, you have to admit your mistake, and you can't always think about returning the money, right?" Aunt Li persuaded her.

In such a situation, even the painters who watched the paintings and calligraphy in the hall could not stand it. They had different opinions, and most of the painters felt that it was better to give her eighty taels and send them away quickly, so as to save them from worrying about those who admired calligraphy and painting.

Aunt Li looked at the neighbors outside, and they all stayed at the door to watch the excitement, she hurriedly picked up the eldest sister and persuaded: "Big sister, if you have something to say." Xiaoqing also said just now, if you are like this, let alone eighty taels, even one will not be returned to you. I can tell you, our little Qing is soft and hard! If you are looking for death and life like this, we have to find a messenger from the government."

"Eighty taels?" Yan Qing felt that Mrs. Wu was not small, and he did something hurtful to them, and he even had the courage to say such a thing as returning eighty taels of silver. As the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate, she was unmoved and said, "Mrs. Wu get up and speak! the more you are like this, the less I will show sympathy to you!" As she spoke, she looked at Mrs. Wu, and saw that her face was embarrassed, her hair was messy, and she looked at the look of confusion in her eyes, and suddenly, she felt unbearable.

"Mrs. Su, I beg you! I have had enough of those days when the money is still waiting to be repaid, and the chickens and dogs are restless. Our women's lives are miserable, and we were born to be cattle and horses, and if we can't live, we won't have peace when we die!"

"That's right! I think so too!" Yan Qing said with a smile.

Aunt Li came out of the back hall with tea, and when she heard the conversation between Luo Yitou and Mr. Su Xiaoqing, she hurriedly came over and urged: "Then in this case, Luo Yantou hurriedly went to find out, in case she did anything unlucky."

"Well, what my aunt said is!" Luo Yan said without further ado: "That Cheng, when I find out, I will definitely return Hongyantang to a clean house."

Luo Yitou said, without waiting for Mr. Su and Mrs. Su to say anything, he hurriedly walked out of the gallery with two subordinates.

The matter has become clear.

Su Jin and Yan Qing can also rest assured, and now they have to wait for news from Luo Yantou.

After sending Luo Yantou away, the gallery was able to regain its calm for the time being, and Su Jin was inconvenient to think too much, so he had to wait for Brother Luo's news first, and then think about it in the long run.

Luo Yantou was really happy to do things, and he swore in the morning that he would find out Mr. Wu's origin and recent whereabouts within one day, and brought news in the afternoon.

He happily walked into the gallery and told Mr. and Mrs. Su: "I found it, but it's just a mouse sparrow."

"What do you mean by that?" Although Su Jin learned from his wife's words that Mr. Wu was actually a pseudo-rich man, he was not humble to the generation of rat sparrows.

"No... At this moment, what she had done to Hongyantang was revealed, and the woman couldn't hold her face, and she really didn't have the confidence to ask for the silver tael again, but she couldn't just go away like this, the silver tael didn't have to be fully recovered, and she couldn't let her go home empty-handed! She was anxious and suddenly knelt down and begged: "I know that Mrs. Su has a good heart! Please let me go!" I was indeed confused by anger for a while, so I was angry at Hongyantang, I can't live in Hongyantang Art Museum, I can't live in Mr. Su and Mrs. Su, I can't live in Hongyantang, I can't live in Hongyantang, I beg Mrs. Su to let me go, even if I return eighty taels of silver!?"

"Okay!" Yan Qing saw that there was unforgiveness in her eyes, and she smiled and asked, "May I ask if Mrs. Wu has done anything to be sorry for the Hongyan Hall Art Gallery?"

"I..." The woman was speechless for a while, and her face turned pale, and in desperation, she had to admit that she had done something sorry for the gallery, and said with great regret: "Su... Mrs. Su can't help it, I... I was in a fit of rage, not intentionally!" she waved her hands.

"Aunt Li, you go get busy first, I'll handle it here!" Yan Qing said, looked at Mrs. Wu and exhaled lightly, and discussed: "Mrs. Wu, these three paintings can be returned, but before returning the silver taels, you have to answer me two questions, what do you think?"

As soon as the woman heard that Mrs. Su was willing to return her money, she softened and got up, happily walked up to Mrs. Su and nodded in agreement: "Mrs. Su, you say, don't worry! No matter what you ask, I will answer truthfully."

"Auntie didn't say it, I just remembered it!" Yan Qing glanced at her, smiled and rolled up the calligraphy and painting and asked, "Auntie came to return the calligraphy and painting, presumably Mr. Wu still doesn't know, right?"

"I brought it in front of him, what's the matter? The donkey's head has spent all the money on buying calligraphy and paintings, and see if these messy paintings can be eaten for dinner?" The woman's face sank, and her tone was full of anger and arrogance, completely forgetting that she had taken other people's cloud brocade to make three handkerchiefs.

Such an annoyed arrogance attracted the attention of the painters in the hall, and even Qing Song, who was entertaining the painters, was inexplicably surprised.

Aunt Li heard the commotion in the back hall, hurriedly dropped the basket in her hand and walked out.

Yan Qing glanced at the two paintings and calligraphy on the counter, because the original wrapped calligraphy and painting of the cloud brocade was marked with the signature of the buyer, but now the weaving cloud brocade is gone, and only three paintings and calligraphy are left in front of her, she naturally does not know who the aunt is returning the calligraphy and painting, she smiled slightly and asked: "Auntie, where is the cloud brocade that wraps the calligraphy and paintings?"

"Oh!" the woman didn't think Mrs. Su was a good talker, and she smiled awkwardly, "That... The material is very good, I use it to make a veil."

The alley was narrow and long, sandwiched between whitewashed walls and tiles, not large enough to fit a horse-drawn carriage aisle.

During the trial of the art gallery, Yan Qing had already guessed that Mr. Wu was a pseudo-rich man, but she didn't understand what Mr. Wu wanted to do when he walked through this alley? Not to mention that he still had the calligraphy and paintings he bought from Hongyantang in his hand, since she had come with her, she had to find out what was going on to rest assured.

Just when Yan Qing was puzzled, Mr. Wu walked out of the alley, she hurriedly stopped and stood at the entrance of the alley, and saw Mr. Wu take out a key from his sleeve pocket, and walked to the opposite row of courtyard houses, one of which had "Fu" on the door.

Mr. Wu opened the lock, and suddenly poked around, and didn't see his unreasonable mother-in-law come back, so he hurriedly entered the courtyard happily with calligraphy and paintings, and closed the courtyard door.

Yan Qing saw this, followed out of the alley, she walked to the courtyard gate, looked through the crack in the door, and did not see anything clearly?

Back to the gallery.

The children were standing in a row in front of the door, anxiously looking forward to the back of the teacher's wife on the street, Aunt Li came out of the hall and persuaded them not to move, so she had to let Mr. Su call them into the house.

Yan Qing lifted the curtain and saw her husband say a few words to the children, and the children obediently went back to the house.

"Just stop here!" she said to the groom.

"All right!" said the groom, stopping the carriage and taking the money.

"Lady!" Su Jin saw that his lady had finally returned, and the stone in his heart fell safely, he held his lady's cold hand in his palm, and asked her: "Listen to Aunt Li, the lady has something to do when she goes out?"

Yan Qing looked at him and smiled: "Husband, this matter is related to Mr. Wu, let's go into the house and talk slowly."

"Okay!" The two of them returned to the gallery together, Aunt Li saw that Xiaoqing came back safe and sound, and finally breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly turned around and worshiped God.

Yan Qing told them: "I went out with Mr. Wu, and my husband accompanied Mr. Wu back to his house that day, but he didn't come back for a long time in the teahouse, because Mr. Wu was actually a pseudo-rich man..."

"Pseudo-rich?" Aunt Li interrupted without understanding and asked, "Xiaoqing! What does this pseudo-rich man mean?"

Yan Qing smiled and made an analogy and explained: "For example, a person is obviously poor, but he wants to pretend to be rich in front of others, Mr. Wu is like this!"
