I kicked out my vicious husband and married his great-uncle

Lin Xinrou was extremely puzzled: "This, this is a famous painting handed down from Zhang Shichang!"

Kong Xiuyuan glanced at her coldly, but was too lazy to say a word. He turned around and stopped in front of Cui Shuyan, with a changed face: "Mrs. Xie, please come in!"

Cui Shuyan glanced at Lin Xinrou indifferently and walked inside.

Lin Xinrou stood at the door, feeling embarrassed and angry.

She couldn't understand why the famous painting her father had spent a lot of money to buy became a humiliation in the hands of Mr. Kong?

On the other side, Cui Shuyan apologized to Kong Xiuyuan as she walked: "Mr. Kong, I'm sorry, that person just now was my husband's concubine, please forgive me for my impoliteness."

Kong Xiuyuan politely returned the greeting: "One thing is one thing, this matter has nothing to do with Madam Xie, there is no need to apologize."

Cui Shuyan smiled faintly and said nothing more.

However, there is no need to show the article written by Xie Shaohang today to Mr. Kong.

He doesn't deserve it.

This time, Cui Shuyan did not intend to disturb Mr. Kong. She came here just for show.

Unexpectedly, Kong Xiuyuan invited her warmly: "Since Madam Xie is here, if you don't meet my grandfather, I'm afraid he won't agree. Master Zhishan is here today, and he also has high praise for you."

Since Kong Xiuyuan said this, Cui Shuyan did not refuse anymore.

When meeting Mr. Kong and Master Zhishan, Cui Shuyan had to bow to them.

Master Zhishan smiled and said, "Donor Cui, would you like to take me as your master?"

Cui Shuyan was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Master Zhishan asked this question.

Kong Daru twirled his beard and smiled: "Shuyan, you don't know that before Master Zhishan converted to Buddhism, he was the famous chief of the Imperial Hospital in the palace."

This surprised Cui Shuyan.

Then, Cui Shuyan realized that Kong Daru was paving the way for her.

Mr. Kong knew that she was skilled in medicine.

It was precisely because he knew this that he was worried that if her medical skills were exposed in the future, she would be in trouble. Therefore, he asked her to become Master Zhishan's disciple.

I was worried that she would be too shy to accept it, so I asked Master Zhishan to take the initiative to speak.

For a moment, Cui Shuyan felt warm in her heart, and the words of thanks reached her throat, but became choked with sobs.

No one had ever thought about her like this before.

Kong Daru smiled and said, "You little girl, you saved my life, and you don't allow me to repay you? If you cry like this, people who don't know will think that I bullied you."

Just one sentence made Cui Shuyan burst into laughter.

Master Zhishan smiled and said, "If you don't object, I will take it as your agreement. However, it is inconvenient for me to teach you medical skills while I am in the temple. However, I will let your senior sister teach you. She is not free these two days, so I will let her come to teach you in the next two days."

"Thank you."

Master Zhishan smiled and turned to ask Cui Shuyan some questions to confirm what level she had reached now.

After asking, he was surprised: "You are so young, but you have such accomplishments, and you only got it from reading books?"

"Yes. But I have no practical experience, so I can't say much."

"No." Master Zhishan shook his head. "Given time, I'm afraid you will be even more powerful than your senior sister."

"Oh, look at you, you asked Shuyan so many questions right after you came here, as if Shuyan is as free as you are." Kong Daru looked at Cui Shuyan and said in a gentle tone, "You have something in your heart, so I won't keep you for dinner."

Cui Shuyan nodded gratefully.

For some reason, Kong Daru could always see through what she was thinking.

Cui Shuyan stood up to say goodbye, but the moment she left the Kong Mansion, she couldn't help but tears up in her eyes.

Strangely enough, since her rebirth, her heart has become as hard as iron, and she feels that she will no longer be sad about anything.

But this sudden kindness still made her feel deeply moved.

After Cui Shuyan returned home, she went directly to Tingfengyuan and returned Xie Shaohang's article intact.

Xie Shaohang opened the box with great joy, but saw that there was no comment on it. He couldn't help but frown: "Shuyan, what's going on?"

Cui Shuyan sighed and sat down aside: "My husband, you might as well ask Aunt Lin about this."

"Rou'er? She has been in the mansion the whole time. What does this have to do with her?"

"Madam, ask Achang to invite her here. We'll know the answer once we ask her."

Seeing this, Xie Shaohang became suspicious and asked Achang to call Lin Xinrou over.

Originally, Lin Xinrou was already very unhappy because she was treated coldly in the Confucius Mansion.

But she tried her best to endure it and did not come to disturb Xie Shaohang, because she was worried that it would affect his mood for preparing for the exam.

When he met Xie Shaohang now, he could no longer hide the grievance in his heart, and told Xie Shaohang everything about how he went to the Confucius Mansion to give gifts but was ridiculed.

The more Xie Shaohang listened, the deeper his frown deepened: "You just said that you went to the Confucius Mansion to give gifts?"

"Yes." Seeing Xie Shaohang's expression was not right, Lin Xinrou shrank her neck, feeling a little uneasy. "Brother Shaohang, is there anything wrong with me doing this?"

"Do you know that Mr. Kong is a noble man and never accepts gifts?"

"I know, so I gave him a famous painting. I thought he was a scholar, so it would be a good idea to give him a painting."

Xie Shaohang's brows relaxed slightly, this was indeed true.

He casually asked, "What painting did you give me?"

"It's Zhang Shichang's famous painting, 'Village Children Playing'."

After listening to this, Xie Shaohang slammed the table heavily and shouted angrily: "Lin Xinrou, why are you so stupid?"

Lin Xinrou was puzzled: "Husband, what do you mean by this? Is there anything wrong with me giving this painting as a gift?"

"Zhang Shichang's "Village Children Playing" was originally in Kong Daru's hands, but three years ago there was a fire in the Kong Mansion, and the painting was burned. Kong Daru was so sad that he didn't eat or drink for three days and three nights, and his health began to deteriorate at that time. Isn't it rubbing salt into Kong Daru's wounds if you send him this fake painting now?"

"Ah? Is it a fake? I don't know. My father had someone buy the painting for him. He spent 100,000 taels of silver."

"Stupid! Your whole family is stupid!" Xie Shaohang was furious.

"Xie Shaohang, you said that I'd be fine, but why didn't you let my family go? Even if they did something wrong with good intentions, it was all for your sake, okay? How could you say that to them?"

"Get out!" Xie Shaohang's eyes were wide open and he drove Lin Xinrou out.

Lin Xinrou was unwilling to accept the defeat and was pushed out by Xie Shaohang.

Lin Xinrou was caught off guard and was pushed to the ground. Her palms were scratched and bleeding.

But Xie Shaohang didn't even look at her. He just looked at Cui Shuyan nervously and asked anxiously, "Shuyan, did you apologize on my behalf? What did Kong Daru say?"

"When I saw Mr. Kong's expression, I naturally tried to persuade him. It was a pity that the painting was burned that year, which was a huge blow to Mr. Kong. When I came out, I heard the housekeeper of the Kong Mansion sent someone to call a doctor."

Hearing this, Xie Shaohang fell to the ground.

"but……"

Hearing Cui Shuyan say this, Xie Shaohang felt like he had grabbed a life-saving straw and asked anxiously, "But what?"
