Song Lanzhi watched Yao Keqing enter the inner room, waited for a while, and finally saw Yao Keqing come out with a painting scroll, and hurriedly greeted him, and couldn't wait to take the painting from Yao Keqing's hand.

Yao Keqing took half a step back while holding the scroll, "I can only take a look at it!" ”

Song Lanzhi touched the fire fold in her sleeve and nodded like an onion, "Just a glance!" ”

Yao Keqing handed the scroll to Song Lanzhi, Song Lanzhi reached out to take it, but Yao Keqing didn't let go, Song Lanzhi said coquettishly, "Good sister-in-law, show me quickly!" ”

"Be careful, don't break it!" Yao Keqing said uneasily.

Song Lanzhi hugged the scroll tightly and nodded, and Yao Keqing finally let go of his hand.

Song Lanzhi opened the scroll halfway through, and suddenly muttered, "Why is it so dark?" I can't see anything clearly! ”

As he spoke, he was about to take the painting and walk out the door, but Yao Keqing hurriedly stopped, "What if the wind is strong outside and it blows bad?" Let's go to the study and light it up for you! ”

Song Lanzhi was overjoyed in her heart, obediently followed Yao Keqing to the study, spread out the scroll on the bookcase that was cleaned up, and was about to find the fire fold in her sleeve to light the lamp, Gui Yuan on the side suddenly took the fire fold from her hand, and said with a smile, "This kind of rough work slaves and maids can do it, how dare you let the fifth aunt and grandmother do it!" ”

Originally, Song Lanzhi's plan was to pretend to miss and throw the ignited fire fold on the painting, but now the plan has been disrupted, Song Lanzhi had to hang her head and make a look of appreciating the painting, but she was thinking about how to burn the painting now, and when she saw the cat in the arms of the lady in the painting, she suddenly had a plan, pointing at the cat and making a look at the maid.

The maid understood, and suddenly jumped away in fright, pointing to the bookcase and shouting, "There are mice!" ”

Gui Yuan panicked, and subconsciously went to look at the bookcase, but was pulled away by Yao Keqing away from the bookcase, Gui Yuan went to see Yao Keqing puzzled, but saw Yao Keqing's face was calm, not panicked at all, and his mood calmed down.

After the maid called out "there are mice", Song Lanzhi also screamed, pretending to be frightened, and hurriedly walked away, her wide sleeves swept over the candlesticks lit with candles, and the candlesticks suddenly fell on the bookcase, the candle oil splashed on the scroll, and the candle flames spread rapidly, and the priceless "Winter Banquet" turned into ashes in an instant.

Sure that the picture scroll had been destroyed, Song Lanzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but put on a helpless look, "I'...... I...... I didn't mean to......"

Yao Keqing looked at the bookcase that would be tired, and sighed, "I know, you were also scared by mice!" ”

"I ...... I'm going to ask my grandmother for my guilt! Song Lanzhi took the opportunity to rush out of Shuangqing Garden with the maid.

"Clean up and replace it with a new one, just use the azusa wood that the young master used before!" Yao Ke indifferently glanced at the messy bookcase, glad that she had the foresight to move all the books early, otherwise even her books would be affected.

Yao Keqing was so calm, but Gui Yuan couldn't help but worry, "Although it was burned by the fifth aunt and grandmother, but the old lady entrusted the painting to the young grandmother, even if the fifth aunt and grandmother took the initiative to ask for guilt, the old lady would inevitably blame you?" ”

"Do you really think that the fifth aunt and grandmother went back to ask the old lady for her guilt?"

Song Lanzhi didn't go back to ask for guilt, she went back to report to the Zhan family, so that the Zhan family could rest assured and come up with countermeasures in time to deal with the old lady's later questioning.

Gui Yuan was stunned, he didn't expect that the seemingly innocent Song Lanzhi would also play tricks!

"So what are we going to do?"

"What about us?" Yao Keqing tilted his head and thought about it, beckoned Gui Yuan to come closer, and said in his ear, "Quietly bring a word to Xian Xian, let her ...... later"

The old lady was anxious to ask Zhan about the guilt, and did not leave guests after the banquet, everyone thought that the old lady was old and in poor spirits, and she was very informed and left early, sending away the last group of people, the old lady asked people to invite Zhan, and did not ask her to sit, and asked straight to the point, "What is the "Winter Banquet Map" brought back by Sister Zhi today?" ”

Song Lanzhi had already returned, and told Zhan that she had seen the "Winter Banquet Picture" burned to ashes, so Zhan replied fearlessly, "Daughter-in-law doesn't know! Seeing the old lady glaring at her, she added, "Xu is also a fake, after all, you also looked away from your mother at the beginning!" ”

"Dare to quibble!" The old lady was so angry that she didn't want to look at Zhan anymore, so she directly asked Yao Keqing to call, "Let the fourth young grandmother bring the painting over!" ”

Silk String went to invite her in person, but Yao Keqing came empty-handed, and the old lady asked her, "What about the painting?" ”

Yao Keqing knelt down with a plop, didn't dare to look up at the old lady, and said with difficulty, "Draw...... The painting was burned...... Burned ......"

"What? Go up in flames? The old lady was shocked, and instantly said angrily, "Didn't I let you take a good look at the painting?" That's how you watch? ”

Yao Keqing cried and said, "Just now the fifth sister came to me and said that she liked this painting very much, and begged me to show her, I was afraid that you would blame me, so I didn't dare to agree, but the fifth sister said that if you blame her, I couldn't stand the request of the fifth sister and showed it to her...... But unexpectedly, a mouse suddenly appeared in the study, and the fifth sister was so frightened that she knocked over the lamp and candle, and burned the painting......"

When he heard that the painting was burned, Zhou was even more shocked than the old lady, this is absolute evidence to bring down Zhan, how can it be destroyed? was about to ask Yao Keqing, but found that although Yao Keqing was crying miserably, there were no tears on his face, and with Yao Keqing's cold temperament, he couldn't do this kind of crying and fussing, and he immediately knew that there was fraud in it, and his heart was at ease.

Before Yao Keqing finished speaking, before the old lady could speak, Zhan reprimanded, "What nonsense! Sister Zhi'er has been with me just now and has never been to the Princess's Mansion, besides, how could there be rats in the Princess's Mansion? You must have hidden the painting! ”

Zhan's good calculation and burned the painting, but it was impossible to distinguish whether it was true or false, and the old lady just wanted to blame herself and had no evidence. But the painting was destroyed in Yao Keqing's hands, the old lady naturally only thought that the painting was real, and asked Yao Keqing to compensate, and when the old lady got the money, she gradually forgot about it, and Zhan only needed to be cold by the old lady for a period of time, which can be said to be unscathed.

The old lady also felt reasonable, and she only wanted to get the painting back, regardless of whether her painting was real or not, whether Zhan Shi had changed the painting or not, and grabbed Yao Keqing and didn't let go, "I'll give you a good painting, you either return my painting or compensate me for the silver!" You can do it! ”

Yao Keqing cried in mourning, "That painting was really burned, it was really burned by the fifth sister, my girls saw it with their own eyes, they can all testify!" ”

"Nonsense, Sister Zhi hasn't been to the princess's mansion today!" Zhan Shi shouted coldly, "As for testifying, your girl is naturally facing you, not enough to believe it!" ”

When the old lady was embarrassed, Zhou saw Yao Keqing slap herself, it was five, Zhou understood, and proposed to the old lady, "Since the mother and the fourth brother and sister have their own words, it is better to call the fifth sister to ask, anyway, the fifth sister is now in the house!" ”
