Chapter 682: There Is Dust on the Painting, but Not on the Words!

"If Uncle Shi is worried, you can ask the young man to follow, and my nephew and Miss Shao Wu will just have a few words!" Qi Tianyu said politely.

Now that it came to this, Qin Huaiyong couldn't refuse for the sake of Magistrate Qi. He could only nod his head and let the servant lead Qi Tianyu to see Shao Wanru.

Then a man sat silently in the study for a long time.

When did these things go awry, and now it makes me unable to grasp the direction, and sometimes I even doubt whether I am doing the right thing or wrong.

He is a military commander, and he fought on the battlefield. He has always been determined. He has decided on things by himself. He has chosen a direction early and rushed in a certain direction. But now he is a little confused...

Shao Wanru returned to Zhifangyuan after a long absence. Everything in Zhifangyuan remained as it was. There were not many people in the Qin Mansion in the past, and there are even fewer now.

Qin Yuru got married, and Qin Wanru recognized his family and returned to the clan. Brother Xuan, who was just born, was young and did not live in a separate courtyard. There were only a few masters in the house, and several gardens were vacant. Shao Wanru had no one living here. , coupled with Shui Ruolan's nostalgia for the past, the place has always maintained its original appearance.

There were a lot fewer maids and wives in the courtyard, but they were all old people. When they saw Shao Wanru coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and they were all respectful.

Who doesn't know that their second young lady turns out to be the daughter of Prince Xingguo and Princess Qinghua, with royal blood, so no one dares to offend her because of this, even though she is no longer the master of the Qin Mansion!

He walked to the main room and sat down. After a maid brought him tea, he obediently withdrew, leaving Yu Jie alone to wait on him.

At this time, there was no need to be surrounded by other maids and wives. Shao Wanru really just wanted to come and sit.

Things have changed and people have changed. Back then, she was still the second young lady of the Qin family, but now she even changed her surname.

After picking up the teacup and taking a slow sip, Shao Wanru stood up and looked at a flower stand by the window, which contained some of her belongings. Many of them were brought by her from Jiangzhou. She reached out and picked up an inkstone with carved patterns on it. The pattern looks extremely elegant, with some ancient charm, but it also looks a bit simple.

In fact, she and Qi Baiyu went shopping for this when she was in Jiangzhou. It was rare to find such a good inkstone, and she almost got into a fight. Now that she thinks about it, it's funny.

He dropped his hand and placed it on a pen washer. This pen washer was still missing a hole and looked a bit incomplete. It was really not a good thing, but there was also a story in it.

There were a lot of things on the flower stand, but now that she thought about it, she felt nostalgic. Before Qin Yuru had planned her marriage, although she was not favored in the Qin Mansion and was bullied by Qin Yuru and Qi Rongzhi, she must have been protected by Mrs. Qin. , and there is not much interest relationship, Di Shi and Qin Yuru did not make a killing move.

But after that, Di and Qin Yuru repeatedly killed themselves for their own benefit.

They finally succeeded in the last life!

With a nostalgic smile in his eyes, he became bloodthirsty. He took out a scroll of paintings from the painting vat on the side, and then slowly unfolded them. They were a few words, written by himself. They were spread out on the desk and suddenly came. Intrigued, he asked Yu Jie to help him grind the ink, then took a piece of white paper and started writing according to the words on it.

After writing a character, I carefully identified it. After all, it has been three years, and my handwriting is much different from the previous one. In three years, I copied many scriptures in Yuhui Temple and practiced a lot of calligraphy. , this font is no longer my immature handwriting.

Putting down the pen in his hand, he picked up the previous calligraphy, rubbed it lightly with his fingers, raised his hand, and looked at the mark on his hand in amazement. It was very shallow, almost non-existent. If he hadn't touched it with his own fingers, I really can't find this little dust.

Why is there just such light dust on it?

The servants cleaned the room. Every place was indeed cleaned very clean, but it did not include those who would clean their own calligraphy and paintings.

People basically don't know how to clean these things, and they may even damage them during cleaning, so they are not allowed to take care of these calligraphy and painting things. Even if they do take care of them, they only take care of the outside and carefully dust off some. dust.

The words she wrote by herself were not considered precious. She just put them there casually without putting a bag on them. As a result, they would inevitably accumulate dust inside over the past three years, even if some people were careful from time to time. If you turn it over, there will be a lot of dust inside.

The mark of dust in her hand was very light, so light that you couldn't really see it unless you looked carefully.

If she hadn't clearly known that her calligraphy was three years old, she would have thought that it had only been written for a few months, and that the dust on it was only a few months old at most.

He rolled up the calligraphy and put it aside. He took another picture of the calligraphy. After looking at it, he reached out and touched it. There was also very light dust.

Picking up another painting, this is a painting. I pressed it with my hand and immediately a thick layer of paint was applied to my fingers.

Another painting, still with words, the imprint is very faint...

There are a lot of calligraphy and paintings in the painting vat, which were all daubed by Shao Wanru at random when he was in the Qin Mansion. There are words and paintings, and the paintings are like traces of three years. There is a lot of dust, but the words are different, as if someone is there. I recently looked at it, and I looked at it very carefully. The dust on it doesn't look like it was accumulated over the past three years.

After he finished reading them all, Shao Wanru's eyes became deep and dark, scanning over the two rows of calligraphy and paintings placed on the table.

Those who write are placed in one row, and those who draw are placed in another row.

It wasn't that obvious when they were mixed together before, but now after they are divided into two rows, I immediately find that the words and paintings are indeed different.

Since the outside has been dusted, the dust on the painting is not very obvious since it has been dusted outside. However, in fact, it is rarely cleaned here, but the handwriting is different. Basically, the handwriting I write is very clean, even from the appearance You can also see something.

Her calligraphy is not very good, it is all handwritten by herself, and it is not a treasure. Even because of her skills in the previous life, her paintings have always been much better than her calligraphy. But now her paintings are normal, but her calligraphy is not. Has it been touched?

"Miss, is there something in your words?" Yu Jie also looked at it at this time and couldn't help but remind her.

"I don't know either!" Shao Wanru shook his head.

She really didn't know what the reason was. Someone was interested in her handwriting? Although my handwriting is not ugly, it is not written by a famous artist. What's more, I am just a girl in a boudoir, who will notice me?

The scene around me looked the same as when I left three years ago, without any trace of being touched. If I hadn't taken out the words in the painting vat, I would never have been able to discover the reason for this.

Therefore, this person should be familiar with everything here and know some of his habits. However, this person carefully avoids anything that makes him suspicious. Is he guessing that he will come back and doesn't want to let himself discover anything?

There was a lot of mystery in my mind, as if there was something hidden deep there that I couldn't foresee, but for some reason I couldn't see it clearly, so I sat on a chair and took out a piece of writing to read.

This calligraphy was written by her before posting. It was very ordinary and there was nothing suspicious about it. However, this calligraphy had also been wiped clean.

"Miss, could it be that the crown prince left something for you, and Mrs. Xingguo knew about it, so she sent someone to check your old things?" Yu Jie blinked and had a whimsical idea.

Shao Wanru shook her head, "It can't be Mrs. Xingguo!"

Many clues here indicate that this person is not an outsider. He knows everything here. Moreover, even after leaving, there are still maids and mothers-in-law in his yard. Not just anyone can come in if they want to. If it is broad daylight , it is not easy for people from other families to enter the house, let alone the backyard, and there happens to be no one in the yard.

If it was night, who would come over? Who can come?

Regarding the Qin Mansion, she always felt that there was a key point that she had not thought of, so that many of the things involved could not be explained, or even if they could be explained, they seemed far-fetched.

What word is someone looking for? Your own words? Suddenly something flashed in my mind...

"Miss, Mr. Qi wants to see you!" While he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a report from a maid outside the door.

He had just arrived at the Qin Mansion when Qi Tianyu came unexpectedly. Shao Wanru frowned unconsciously and signaled Yu Jie to put away the calligraphy and paintings, then stood up and went out. Even though she no longer lives here, this place is still It used to be her boudoir, but she didn't want to meet Qi Tianyu here. The relationship between her and Qi Tianyu was not that familiar yet.

In the courtyard, Qi Tianyu stood there with his hands behind his back, his handsome face a little sad, and he stood politely by the door of the courtyard without directly entering the room. There was a boy standing next to him, who was from the Qin Mansion.

It should be Qin Huaiyong's side. It seems that Qin Huaiyong agreed to Qi Tianyu's coming over. He felt very uncomfortable inexplicably.

Hearing the voice behind him, Qi Tianyu turned his head and looked at Shao Wanru who was walking down the steps, with an undeniable sadness in his eyes.

"Miss Shao Wu!" Before Shao Wanru could salute, Qi Tianyu bowed deeply.

Shao Wanru stood a few steps away, looked at Qi Tianyu indifferently, turned sideways and returned the salute, and then said businesslikely, "What's the matter with Mr. Qi? If you have something, you should go to the Xingguo Palace. Miss Qi's affairs and I have nothing to do with it, and I don’t know what kind of life she spent in Duke Xingguo’s mansion!”

Such a evasive and dismissive look is extremely heartless, especially those bright eyes with a twinkling color, like ice-cold lake water, with ripples but no warmth at all. Qi Tianyu was even less polite and tactful.

This was originally what Qi Tianyu wanted to say, but Shao Wanru said it. Even though Qi Tianyu was always wise, he sometimes couldn't speak at this time.

After a while, he said with a helpless smile: "Does Fifth Miss Shao hold a grudge against me? If so, I am here to accompany Fifth Miss as a gift, and I am willing to clear up Fifth Miss's doubts in order to seek Fifth Miss's forgiveness!"
