"Shut up, what are you crying about?" Lan Peng was troubled by the noise and said sharply.

The second aunt was yelled at by Lan Peng, and she was so frightened that she immediately shut up, and she didn't dare to cry.

Lan Peng saw that the second aunt finally stopped talking, looked at Lan Chunyu and Lan Chunyang, and said in a stern voice: "Where did you get that painting today?" ”

Lan Chunyu and Lan Chunyang had never seen their father's expression, and they were so frightened that they didn't make a sound, sitting on the ground and sobbing silently.

Lan Peng saw that the two of them didn't speak, he was impatient, and said sharply: "Say, where did you get that painting today?" ”

When the second aunt heard Lan Peng talk about painting, she didn't dare to speak out, looking at Lan Peng like this, it should be that painting that something happened. Could it be that there is something wrong with the painting that Adi has made?

Lan Chunyu was startled by Lan Peng's roar, and stammered, "Yes...... Be...... My aunt gave it to us? Let...... We send ...... A birthday gift for my grandmother. ”

When Lan Peng heard that it was given to them by the second aunt, he looked at the second aunt with a cold look. The second aunt saw Lan Peng's eyes for the first time, and she trembled with fear.

"Where did you get this painting?"

"I didn't get it, I just took the money and asked my brother to choose a suitable birthday gift for me, and then my brother sent this calligraphy and painting. Ah Di said that this is an antique, and it is the most suitable to give it to the old lady as a birthday gift. As soon as I opened it, I smelled a strange fragrance, and I thought that the birthday banquet would definitely make Yu'er and Yang'er show off, so I stayed. The second aunt was frightened by Lan Peng, and said it all in one go, not daring to hide anything.

When Lan Peng heard this, he became even more angry. The second aunt's brother, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, did not do his job, borrowed money from the second aunt to open an antique shop, specializing in black road trading. It is estimated that he has been collecting this painting for a long time, and this is taking the opportunity to knock the second aunt for a sum of money.

Thinking like this, he turned around and walked out of the dark room, and the second aunt shouted behind him: "The head of the house, the head of the house, we really don't know anything, you let us go!" Head of House......"

Lan Peng asked the three of them to be locked in a dark room and delivered food on time.

Out of the dark room, Lan Peng asked people to bring the second aunt's younger brother.

In the front hall, Lan Peng dismissed all his subordinates, only the housekeeper Lan Ping stood in the front hall with the second aunt's younger brother, and the second aunt's younger brother also knelt on the ground and trembled.

"Brother-in-law, what did you call me for?" The second aunt's younger brother didn't know what was going on, but he had always been afraid of his brother-in-law, not to mention that Lan Peng's face was really not good-looking today.

"Let me ask you, where did you get the painting you gave to your second aunt?" Lan Peng asked sharply.

"That's what I paid at a high price, I didn't earn a penny from my sister, really brother-in-law!" The second aunt's younger brother thought that Lan Peng knew that he had cheated on his sister, so he came to Xingshi to ask about the crime, and said with a weak heart.

"Where did you get it? Who sold it to you? As soon as Lan Peng heard that he had received it from someone else, if he could find the one who sold the painting and hand it over to Huang Lao, he would not offend Huang Lao. walked up to the second aunt and brother, grabbed his collar and asked anxiously.

The second aunt and brother were frightened by Lan Peng's this, and cried out, and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know who he is, I just met him outside the city, he said that he needs to be entangled on the road, and there is a painting that he wants to sell to me." I didn't want to pay attention to him, but who knew that as soon as he took out the painting, the painting would be very fragrant, so I wanted it. Brother-in-law, I was wrong, next time I don't dare to ask for my sister's money, you can spare me! Brother-in-law ......"

When Lan Peng heard this, he knew that he had been calculated, and where could he find the people he met outside the city! With a hard hand, he threw the second aunt and brother aside.

"Remember what the man looked like?" Lan Peng regained his former majesty.

"No...... I don't remember, the man...... The hair was messy, as if he deliberately blocked his face from being seen, and I thought he ...... He must have been afraid that people would recognize him and lose his ...... Lose face! The second aunt's brother was so frightened that he almost peed his pants and stammered.

"Rubbish! Leave him to Huang Lao to dispose of, and it will be a scourge to keep him! Lan Peng turned his back to Lan Ping and said.

"Yes!" Lan Ping answered, and dragged his second aunt and brother out.

"Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, where are you taking me? The brother-in-law ...... "The second aunt and brother were very frightened, struggling and shouting, but how could his weak little body struggle to fall, and the voice of crying for help became farther and farther away.

Cishoutang, Mrs. Lan almost fainted after returning from the birthday banquet, and Mama Huang couldn't persuade her, so she had to invite Qing Wen'er and Lan Lingxue.

"Mother, I heard Mama Huang say that you are not feeling well, what's the matter, wasn't it okay at the birthday banquet just now?" As soon as Qing Wen'er arrived at Cishoutang, she saw Old Madam Lan lying on the couch with a yellowish complexion.

"The old lady was hard at the birthday banquet, and now she can't hold it when she comes back, hey, it's all to blame for the second lady and the young master......" Mama Huang said and couldn't help complaining that it was Lan Chunyu and Lan Chunyang.

"Don't you say that I forgot, why did Yu'er and Yang'er be locked up, did they make any mistakes?" Qing Wen'er remembered that at the birthday banquet, she inexplicably locked up Lan Chunyu's sister and brother, and it was inconvenient to ask at the birthday banquet at that time.

"This ......" Mama Huang looked at Mrs. Lan, not knowing whether to say it or not.

"It doesn't hurt to talk to them." Old Madam Lan said weakly.

Mama Huang told Qingwen'er and Lan Lingxue about the origin of the calligraphy and painting, and why she locked up Lan Chunyu's sister and brother.

"Sister Yu must not have done it on purpose, she definitely didn't know!" After hearing this, Lan Lingxue stood up excitedly and said.

"Cher, don't be rude! This matter has not been clarified, you can't talk nonsense. Qing Wen'er scolded Lan Lingxue, her daughter knew that she had a very simple temperament and never thought of anyone in a bad way, but this kind of temperament was not good in this kind of big family.

Lan Lingxue didn't dare to say anything more, but just looked at Old Madam Lan anxiously, hoping that Old Madam Lan could understand that Lan Chunyu was innocent.

"How's it going?" Mrs. Lan also understood that it was impossible for a teenage girl to get that painting, so someone thought it was given to her. I told Mama Huang to ask Lan Peng about the results of the investigation.

Mama Huang answered and went.

After a while, Mama Huang came back, she walked up to Mrs. Lan and said, "The head of the family has already asked, the painting was given to the second lady by the second aunt, and she wanted to be in the limelight at the birthday banquet, but she didn't know the origin of the painting." Lan Lingxue breathed a sigh of relief when she heard this, and she said that Sister Yu was innocent.

Mama Huang continued: "The second aunt was bought by her mother's brother, and the head of the family has already brought the second aunt's brother over for questioning, saying that he met a person outside the city who bought it for him, and he didn't know who that person was. The head of the family has already asked the housekeeper to hand over the second aunt and younger brother to Huang Lao for disposal. ”

Mama Huang told Mrs. Lan what she heard from Lan Ping without missing anything. After hearing this, Old Madam Lan sighed: "Evil, how does this make the ancestors blind!" ”

"Mother, your body is important, now that the painting has been recovered, the ancestors of the Huang family can rest in peace, and you can also relax." Qing Wen'er was also shocked when she heard what Mama Huang said. Giving the funeral goods of the ancestors to his descendants as birthday gifts, this is such a lack of morality, no wonder Lan Peng is so angry.

"Yes, grandmother, take care of yourself! You haven't hung the embroidery that Xue'er sent you, how about Xue'er find someone to hang it for you, and you need to point out where to hang it? Lan Lingxue walked to Mrs. Lan's bed, sat on the stool in front of the couch, and said mischievously.

Old Madam Lan knew that Lan Lingxue was comforting her, and it was useless to be angry now, but fortunately, the painting had been recovered, which was a blessing. Thinking like this, he also showed a smile: "Yes, Xue'er gave her grandmother's birthday gift, and her grandmother likes it very much, and she will let people hang it up after a while." It took a lot of thought to embroider that big one, right? ”

"It's worth putting a lot of thought into for your grandmother, as long as your grandmother is happy, Xue'er will be happy."

"It's sweet in your mouth!" Old Madam Lan smiled and nodded Lan Lingxue's forehead, Lan Lingxue pouted, and took Old Madam Lan's hand.

Qing Wen'er talked to Mrs. Lan again, and then went back.

Mama Huang watched them go out, turned back to Mrs. Lan and said, "Madame and the eldest lady are really close to the old lady!" Blessed are you, old lady! ”

"Yes, it's a pity that Wen'er didn't give birth to a son, otherwise it would have been great." Old Madam Lan sighed.

"This lady has also seen many doctors, and they all say that the lady is in good health, why is she no longer pregnant?" Mama Huang said.

"Man, sometimes you have to believe in fate! Maybe that's fate! Xue'er is too simple, Wen'er is kind-hearted, I'm afraid that they will be bullied after I leave. Old Madam Lan couldn't help but sigh.

Mama Huang poured a glass of water for Mrs. Lan and brought it to Mrs. Lan: "What did you say?" Are you well? You can also watch the eldest lady become her own child, and then watch the eldest lady's child become her own child, and you will have a long life in the future. ”

Old Madam Lan picked up the water cup in her hand, took a sip of water, and stopped talking. My body knows that even if there is no obvious discomfort now, but I am here at this age, I am an ordinary old woman, how can it be so easy to live a long life.

Early the next morning, Lan Lingxue had breakfast, asked Xiaoqiao to take the prepared food box, and went to the dark room to visit the second aunt, mother and son.

In the dark room, Lan Lingxue looked at Lan Chunyu's embarrassed appearance, and couldn't help but burst into tears: "Sister Yu, how can this be, how did you make it like this?" ”

Lan Chunyu saw Lan Lingxue's pitiful eyes, and she wanted to gouge out her eyes, she hated Lan Lingxue's eyes, as if she had been giving herself alms from above.

But she couldn't show it, after all, Lan Lingxue was still useful to her, she grabbed Lan Lingxue and said, crying and saying: "Sister Xue, I was wronged, we really don't know anything, you go and beg your father, let him let us go!" Please? ”

"Yes, Miss! Please help us, we really don't want to be here, it's full of rats at night, it scares people to death! The second aunt understood what her daughter meant, she wanted Lan Lingxue to ask the head of the family, after all, Lan Lingxue was very favored by the head of the family.

Lan Lingxue looked at the pleading eyes of the second aunt and Lan Chunyu, and was very unbearable. Lan Chunyang was so frightened that she shrunk into her second aunt's arms and trembled.

Lan Lingxue really couldn't stand it, stood up and said, "Okay, you wait, I'll go and beg my father, I will let him let you go!" ”

After speaking, he turned around and walked out of the dark room, but he didn't see two pairs of vicious eyes behind him.

Lan Chunyu clenched her hands, she was about to pinch her hands to bleed, she looked at Lan Lingxue's back, and said viciously: "I must make all this mine!" ”

"Yu'er, be quiet, don't be heard by her!" The second aunt didn't covet the position of the lady, but she had to take her time little by little.

"Hmph, she's an idiot, she knows how to pretend to be high, as if everyone should hold her, and one day I will pull her down from Miss Yan's position." Lan Chunyu finally revealed her true colors.
