Zhan Yan was so bewitched by her that he was a little confused. Before he could react, his nose was filled with her alluring fragrance.

He originally wanted to be more reserved and let the young lady use more effort to coax him.

Unexpectedly, as soon as her little hand moved, he immediately became erect.

He didn't dare to delay for a moment and pushed her whole body under the quilt.

The next day, Lin Yiwan woke up from the pain all over her body.

Ling'er heard the noise outside and came in to serve. She whispered, "Madam, Madam Lin said she has something urgent to see you!"

Lin Yiwan blinked in surprise: "Aunt? What's the matter with her coming here so early?"

Ling'er thought it was getting late, as the sun was already high in the sky.

But when he saw the marks all over her body, he shut his mouth obediently.

Madam must have been too tired last night, so she got up late.

Lin Yiwan quickly packed up and went out to meet Sang Qiutang.

She was shocked to see the bruise under her eye.

She asked in shock: "Aunt, did you not sleep well last night?"

Sang Qiutang said with a complicated expression, "Wanwan, I suddenly remembered something last night. When I was playing ghost in the Xiao Mansion and scaring people, I lost a gold hairpin!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and pondered, "This is a big deal. Should we go look for it now?"

Sang Qiutang grabbed her wrist and said, "Don't look for it anymore. I saw with my own eyes that the hairpin was picked up by Wei Linzhou!"

Lin Yiwan's expression instantly turned solemn and ugly. The matter of the golden hairpin must be handled with caution, otherwise, Sang Qiutang's reputation would be damaged.

She was silent for a moment before she said, "We have to find a way to get the hairpin back quickly. Otherwise, if it falls into Wei Linzhou's hands, who knows what kind of trouble it might cause!"

Sang Qiutang was also very worried. After all, she often wore that gold hairpin, and most people who knew her could recognize it.

Lin Yiwan soothed him softly, "Don't panic. I'll send Zi'er to the Wei Mansion to investigate. We'll go get the hairpin back at night!"

Sang Qiutang naturally believed her. She felt that there was nothing in the world that could stump Lin Yiwan.

Zi'er quickly sent back the news. She spat, "The Wei family has completely collapsed. The emperor issued an edict to demote Wei Dongting. Wei Linzhou was so depressed that he went to a restaurant to get drunk and even beat up his step-wife!"

Lin Yiwan snorted coldly, "He deserves this. Tonight, let's go get the golden hairpin and beat him up while we're at it!"

As night fell, Lin Yiwan took Sang Qiutang to Wei's mansion.

The Wei Mansion was very quiet at this time. Wei Dongting was unwilling to be demoted, so he went to find someone to give gifts in order to smooth things over.

Wei Linzhou was lying on the bed, holding a golden hairpin tightly in his hand.

He murmured in a trembling voice: "Qing'er, are you satisfied now? My father has been demoted, and my mother has been sentenced to immediate execution. I have nothing now. I only want you. Please, come back. I will love you well. Where are you hiding?"

The door was slammed open from outside, and Madam Wei, with bloodshot eyes, rushed in with Jin Bao. She demanded in a hoarse voice, "Sheng Ruqing is already dead, why are you still obsessed with her? Where do you put Jin Bao and me?"

Wei Linzhou turned around and glanced at her with a bruised face, and said with disgust, "If it weren't for you, how could Qing'er have died? Get out of here!"

Madam Wei gritted her teeth. Now that things had come to this, she no longer had her mother-in-law to rely on. She could no longer allow Wei Linzhou to continue to become decadent.

They still have Jinbao and cannot ruin his future.

She strode over and snatched the gold hairpin from his hand.

She said with a ferocious look in her eyes, "You're thinking about that dead man's things, right? I'm going to burn them for you right now and completely put an end to your thoughts!"

Wei Linzhou jumped up like a madman, suddenly grabbed Madam Wei's neck with both hands, and shouted: "Give it back to me, don't touch Qing'er's things with your dirty hands!"

Madam Wei was originally thin, and now she was furious, so she rolled her eyes when she was pinched.

Little Wei Jinbao had never seen such a scene before and was immediately frightened and burst into tears.

He cried and reached out to push Wei Linzhou: "Daddy, don't hit Mommy, let her go, she can't breathe!"

Wei Linzhou's whole body was shaken. He suddenly let go of Madam Wei and snatched the gold hairpin from her hand.

Wei Jinbao rushed into Mrs. Wei's arms and burst into tears.

Wei Linzhou ignored the mother and son, turned around and staggered out.

Madam Wei screamed, "Where are you going? You know, that's not Sheng Ruqing's stuff at all. She's been dead for over two years. Most of her belongings were sold by my mother, not even this hairpin!"

Wei Linzhou froze. Yes, Sheng Ruqing was indeed dead.

So who is that person who looks so similar to her?

He subconsciously looked down at the golden hairpin, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

Since she pretended to be Sheng Ruqing's ghost, she must be her good sister who is related by blood.

By the way, could it be the cousin who married the current Dali Temple Minister Lin Ran?

Thinking of this, Wei Linzhou's face was filled with hatred.

They destroyed the Wei family, so why couldn't he destroy them again?

And this golden hairpin will be the best weapon!

Having made up his mind, he walked out quickly.

When he arrived outside the mansion, someone rushed towards him.

"Bang!" The two men collided directly with each other, and the force was so great that Wei Linzhou fell to the ground.

He angrily yelled, "Don't you have eyes when you walk? You actually bumped into someone?"

The man quickly reached out and helped him up: "I'm sorry, sir, I didn't mean to do that. Are you okay? Are you hurt anywhere?"

Wei Linzhou ignored him and subconsciously reached into his arms.

He finally breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the hairpin was still there.

He said in a serious tone, "I'm fine, but I want to ask you, do you know where in the capital city there's a place that makes portraits?"

The man asked in surprise, "Sir, are you looking for someone?"

Wei Linzhou nodded: "Yes, I'm looking for my dream lover. Please tell me where I can find a portrait artist."

The man pointed in a direction and said, "There's a teahouse ahead. If you say you're looking for a portrait artist, someone will lead you in!"

Wei Linzhou didn't even thank him, turned around and left quickly.

When the man saw his back disappear, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

She quickly returned to the carriage and said, "The servants have already replaced the hairpin for him. He is in a hurry to find a portrait artist, saying that he wants to find his dream lover!"

Sang Qiutang was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. Fortunately, she informed Lin Yiwan about this matter in time, otherwise, her reputation would have been completely ruined.

She spoke quickly, "Wanwan, what should we do now? He's looking for a portrait artist. If I'm not mistaken, he wants to paint me!"
