When she returned to the front hall with Xu Suzhen, half of her face was covered with ointment to reduce swelling, and she could only blink at Zhu Yan, unable to speak although she was anxious.

Xu Zhao and Lin said a few sorry words to Zhu Yan, but they never mentioned the portrait of Concubine Xiang, and then chatted casually, and Xu Silk took Zhu Yan to leave.

In the car home, Bai Ping couldn't speak with the ointment, while Xu Suzhen was used to being silent, especially in front of outsiders, and would never say a word to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan suddenly felt bored, so he squinted his eyes and took a nap, and the scenes outside the study slipped in front of him again.

At that time, Xu Xingfang was fighting with Bai Ping, and Xu Lingfang was entangled with herself, and she could be sure that the scroll painting was still hanging in the house at that time......

What happened ...... later? Later, he was knocked down by Xu Lingfang, and was immediately taken to the roof by Yongwu, and he couldn't see what was going on below.

Could it be that after that, Xu Lingfang reflexively went back to the study and took away the scroll painting?

But she had no reason to do this at all, maybe because the painting was too similar to herself, Xu Lingfang destroyed the painting out of jealousy, and in order to escape being punished by Xu Zhao, she deduced that the portrait was stolen?

Although there is some truth in saying this, Zhu Yan always feels that the credibility is not high - it is obvious that such a statement will bring great suspicion to the Xu family sisters, Xu Lingfang is young, but judging from her behavior just now. is a little more shrewd than her sister Xingfang, she won't tell such a clumsy lie, maybe someone else steals the painting?

Somehow, the thought turned to Eternal Nothing. He said at the time that he had come to pick up something...... With his skills, he wants to sneak into the study when the surrounding chaos is chaotic, take paintings, pick up handkerchiefs, and then leave with himself, such a series of actions, maybe he can really do it?

Secretly opened his eyes and looked at Xu Suzhen. Seeing that she was still drooping with an old face, a pimple twisted in her heart again, and she clearly prepared her with a lot of creams and flower dew. Not to mention that you can be ten years younger, you can always see some results, right? But here in Xu Suzhen, these cosmeceuticals that have become popular all over Bailang Town are not effective at all.

After thinking about it all the way, the car suddenly stopped. Zhu Yan didn't sit still. If it hadn't been for Apple's grab, her forehead would have slammed against the wall of the car.

Xu Silk Zhen had already poked her head out to check the situation, and as soon as the curtain was lifted, she had already arrived on the path outside her yard, and Zhu Yan also jumped out of the car, but she almost didn't recognize her yard.

The entire courtyard was covered with bamboo scaffolding, and a few masons dressed as masons entered and exited the gate from time to time......

"It's ...... What's going on? Zhu Yan was stunned, didn't he say that he didn't work on the first day of the Lunar New Year? Why are there so many more workers in our own house?

Xu Suzhen glanced at her helplessly. Shaking his head, he was about to speak. Wang Ximing walked out with a pipe in his mouth, with a smile on his face, and greeted Xu Suzhen and Zhu Yan generously, "My sister-in-law and nephew and daughter are back, this is the person I called to work, our house is built according to the latest style, but we can't let my nephew and daughter be wronged here by my uncle." ”

"If I don't go to work on the first day of junior high school, my brother's ability is very great." Xu Silk Zhen didn't smile at the meat, and looked at the busy craftsmen in the courtyard.

"Hehe, it's not that my brother has the ability, it's our nephew's daughter who has the ability." Wang Ximing looked at Zhu Yan as a matter of course, and snickered with a little calculation, "I promised them a large amount of honorarium, how can there be any reason not to come?" ”

Zhu Yan frowned tightly, his face turned pale with anger, this kind of shameless behavior is simply a splash, not to mention that Wang Ximing is still full of thought that he is paying to repair the house for him and his unsuccessful son Wang Yong, if it weren't for the fact that he is Xu Suzhen's own brother, he really wants to slap him in the face.

On the side, Apple was also so angry that she couldn't speak, and her eyes were round.

Wang Ximing saw Bai Ping at this time, and when he saw the plaster she had applied on half of her face, he couldn't help but look at it again in surprise, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with Bai Ping?" ”

"I was stung by a poisonous insect in my face, and tomorrow will be fine." Xu Silk replied lightly, it seems that this is the case.

"That's it......" Wang Ximing looked at Bai Ping again, and then nodded reassuringly, "It's good that it won't break the appearance, I'm looking at it, my nephew's daughter is going to get married this year, and when the time comes, I will call Wang Yong's kid home, there is a house and land, and a nephew's daughter's shop, as long as he doesn't mess around, these are enough for him to spend." ”

Zhu Yan laughed angrily when he heard this, and looked at him with a pair of slender and long eyebrows, "Uncle thinks really well, Zhu Yan is very stupid, and he really can't think of going with you." ”

"That's natural, they all say that women have long hair and short knowledge, not to mention that you are just a little girl, I eat more salt than you eat!" Wang Ximing spit out a smoke ring proudly, buttoned the cigarette ash with his rough fingers, and looked at Bai Ping, "When the time comes, Bai Ping will be the daughter-in-law of that kid again, and after a year or two, if he has a son or a daughter, he will naturally be relieved." ”

Bai Ping was only indignant for Zhu Yan at first, but when he heard that Wang Ximing actually pulled his head, he pulled down his face and turned his feet to leave.

"It's time for this girl to change her dressing, Zhu Yan will accompany her to Zhuyuan." Zhu Yan's eyes narrowed, and as soon as he turned around, the resentment on his face surged up like a flood that burst the embankment.

Quickly catching up with Apple, he saw that she had become a tearful person, and the tears hung pitifully on her face covered with ointment, dyeing her beautiful face into a big flowery face.

"Apple, it's not worth being angry with that kind of person." Although Zhu Yan was also annoyed, Bai Ping was already crying like this, and if she didn't calm down, things would only get worse.

"Miss......" Apple was embarrassed to cry in front of her, and pulled up her sleeve to wipe her tears.

"Don't move." Zhu Yan hurriedly grabbed her hand, "There is ointment on the face, wipe it off first." He hurried into the house and brought a basin of clean water, wrung out a towel and scrubbed it for her.

The tears on Apple's face were wiped more and more, and Zhu Yan couldn't cry silently. Since she became a sensible person, she has only served others, how can she be cared for and comforted so carefully?

Zhu Yan pursed her lips gently. looked at her and smiled, "Are you ashamed to cry when you're so old?" Seeing that her face was red and she smiled embarrassedly, Zhu Yan whispered comfort, "You are not my girl now, if you can't stay here." You can go anywhere you want, but what do you do when you're sulking? ”

“…… Miss's own uncle is also too ...... Shameless. Apple shrugged as she held back her tears. glanced at Zhu Yan carefully, and saw that she was not unhappy at all, so he continued, "His second son is a splash. Even if Apple is still a girl. Nor should it be rationed to such people. ”

"Well, that's a good point." Zhu Yan twisted her handkerchief, and the shining droplets of water slipped from her white jade-like hands, shining with crystal brilliance in the winter sunshine, "Just have such a spirit!" ”

Apple blinked, "Miss and others just don't think the same way......"

"Yes......" Zhu Yan smiled helplessly, some habits she can slowly change, but how can she change those that she thinks in her heart? And...... She didn't want to change it at all.

"Isn't Miss angry?" Apple puffs out her mouth. Thinking of Wang Ximing's inevitable appearance just now, he was still angry.

"Of course I'm angry." Zhu Yan looked sideways at her. smiled lightly, "But look at him, his face is blue and black, which means that there must be stasis in the body, the liver is not good, and he likes to smoke pipes, so his lungs are naturally not good...... I told him to take care of his body, but he didn't listen, what is there to be angry with such a person who kills himself? ”

Bai Ping looked at Zhu Yan in a daze, always feeling that what she said was wrong, but it sounded so happy, and after a while, she lowered her head and muttered, "Miss, hearing you say this, I feel a little sorry for him in my heart......"

Zhu Yan sneered slightly, dried the towel and dried it on the bamboo pole, and shook off the water droplets on his hands, "Some people don't need to be pitied." ”

Her voice was a little stiff and a little indifferent, which made Bai Ping tremble unconsciously, turned her head to look at Zhu Yan carefully, and after a long while, she whispered to herself, "Sometimes, Miss seems to be a terrible person......

"Really?" Zhu Yan smiled astringently, although she was not very old in the past, she heard and saw many dark things, she chose not to trust anyone, to live peacefully with anyone and keep her distance, like a hedgehog, easily frightened, very wary and aggressive.

Now that she is here, although there are people like the Yang family and the Xu sisters, most of the people she sees are simple and amiable, even if she wants to get some benefits from herself, it is understandable in her opinion, so she let down some of her past guards...... But now it seems that he is still unconsciously revealing a little bit of anger? Even if it's just a little bit of the occasion......

"Miss, Apple just said casually, don't take it to heart." Seeing her silent, Apple panicked and hurriedly bowed her head to admit her mistake.

"It's okay, you've been wronged today, let's go upstairs and rest for a while." Zhu Yan put away her thoughts just now, smiled sweetly at her, pulled her into the hall, and went upstairs.

A few days later, Zhu Yan still paid off the huge salary for Wang Ximing, not only because the title deed of the house was in her hands, but also because the craftsmanship of those craftsmen was indeed quite in line with her heart.

Now she is standing in a renovated courtyard, on the seventh day of the first month, Wang Ximing went out to beg for a living again, Xu Suzhen is still taking care of farming, Liu Zixin and Mingzi went to the town to take care of the shop, only her and Bai Ping at home, boring to do some embroidery work all day to pass the time.

All the weeds in the yard were uprooted, and the firewood house on one side was changed into a place for Wang Ximing to keep his dogs.

But with such drastic repairs, Zhu Yan finally remembered one thing - the fat kitten seemed to have not seen him for a long time, could it be that he felt that he could be self-reliant, so he left without saying hello?
