Back to the day I married my second wife, I turned around and married my ex-husband's uncle

Shen Lianyi asked someone to clean up before sitting down with Jiang Ningwan.

After pouring the tea, she said in a relaxed tone, "It's not for your cousin."

"It's just that I have a lot of things to do, so I stayed for a few days."

Jiang Ningwan didn't believe it, so she picked up a scroll beside her, unfolded it and took a look.

Although the painting was well done, it was faintly anxious and the brushstrokes were hurried, completely different from the meticulous paintings she had drawn before.

It must be because of the influence of Xie Chenyuan being wanted, which made him anxious and uneasy.

Just as he was thinking about it, Shen Lianyi suddenly smiled faintly while drinking tea and said, "Do you like it? I'll sell it to you."

Jiang Ningwan was shocked, "Sell it to me?"

"Given our relationship, can't you even give me a painting? Do you have to negotiate the price for this?"

Shen Lianyi smiled and raised his hand to greet the waiter.

Then the waiter brought pen, ink and paper and put them on the table.

"Not just one painting, but everything here."

"Five thousand taels, I'll sell it to you."

Jiang Ningwan was stunned. She glanced at Shen Lianyi and then at the writing brush on the table.

She even prepared pen and ink, is she kidding?

Could it be that because of Xie Chenyuan's matter, she is short of money now?

Jiang Ningwan didn't ask any further questions. Shen Lianyi had helped her a lot before, so she couldn't just stand by and watch.

She glanced at the scrolls in the room. "You mean all of these?"

Shen Lianyi nodded.

"Five thousand taels is too little. I don't want to take advantage of you. Eight thousand taels is better."

"It just so happens that they are going to open some shops in Qianguo. There is no stock in the study yet. I think you can sell these paintings for a good price."

Hearing this, Shen Lianyi was slightly surprised.

But I didn't ask any questions and wrote the purchase contract decisively.

Seeing the message saying one hundred paintings must be delivered within three months, Jiang Ningwan was a little surprised. "One hundred? Is that so many?"

Shen Lianyi: "I will give you the rest slowly."

"I don't want to take advantage of you either."

Jiang Ningwan was shocked when she heard this. Seeing Shen Lianyi's clear attitude of settling the bill, she felt embarrassed to force the money on her.

"OK then."

She raised her hand to sign the contract.

"I'll have someone send the money to you later."

Shen Lianyi nodded, "Okay."

Jiang Ningwan then took out a stack of land deeds and placed them on the table. "The civil unrest in Qian Kingdom has settled, and the new emperor has ascended the throne. I've obtained some land deeds for shops in the capital."

"You take your pick."

Shen Lanyi looked at the deeds, feeling a little heavy-hearted. "You actually still remember it."

Jiang Ningwan: "Of course I remember what I promised you."

"And Fengyuan City, I remember the favor you did for me, but it's not convenient to give it to you now. If you need it, I'll give you 30,000 taels first."

She tried to help Shen Lanyi in a roundabout way.

I may not be able to help with other things, but I can still help with money.

Shen Lianyi picked up a land deed at random and said with a smile, "Let's talk about Fengyuan City later. There's no rush."

"I'll keep this deed for now."

Jiang Ningwan didn't force it. After taking a sip of tea, she hesitantly asked, "How are you getting along with my cousin lately?"

Shen Lianyi was slightly startled and lowered his eyes, "Just like that."

Seeing her cold attitude, Jiang Ningwan couldn't help but ask, "Did he make you angry?"

Shen Lianyi shook his head, "No."

"Don't guess, we will solve our own problems, don't worry about it."

Since that was said, Jiang Ningwan certainly understood the situation.

"Okay, I won't ask anymore."

"Let's get together at Duke Ling's mansion tonight?"

Shen Lianyi nodded, "Okay."

"Then I'll go first. Come early in the evening."

Jiang Ningwan packed up her things and stood up to leave. Shen Lanyi asked the waiter to see her off.

After walking out of Jinghong Pavilion, Jiang Ningwan felt heavy-hearted. She wanted to ask about Xie Chenyuan, but it seemed that Shen Lanyi didn't want to talk about it either.

Shen Lanyi should be used to solving all problems by herself.

This is Shen Lanyi's style of doing things, and it is not easy for her to interfere.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ningwan got on the carriage and headed for Duke Ling's Mansion.

Met Ling Chaowen and Ling Jinlan.

"Sister, you are finally back. I heard that you suffered internal injuries. Are you healed?" Ling Jinlan pulled her and asked.

"I'm almost well now. How are you guys doing?"

Ling Jinlan nodded, "We are all fine."

Ling Chaowen brought two plates of snacks and said, "Everything is fine, except for that recent incident at the Zhou family..."

Before he could finish his words, Ling Jinlan glared back at him.

Jiang Ningwan sensed something was wrong and glanced at the two of them. "Which one from the Zhou family? Tell me."

Ling Jinlan smiled and took her hand. "It's nothing serious. It's just that Zhou Yu from the Zhou family always says bad things about me outside."

"It's not a big deal."

She didn't care.

Jiang Ningwan looked at Ling Chaowen suspiciously, "Is that all?"

Ling Chaowen nodded, "That guy is so mean."

As they were chatting, a maid suddenly came in.

Qin Wenli.

"What are you talking about?"

Qin Wenli had a smile on his face, but he looked a little haggard and seemed to have not had a good rest.

"Cousin, I'm still looking for you. Auntie said you were not feeling well and I haven't visited her for many days. What happened to you?"

Qin Wenli sat down slowly, his expression somewhat gloomy. "Nothing serious, just a lot of things to do."

After asking about Jiang Ningwan's health and the trip, he suddenly asked about Jinghong Pavilion.

"By the way, I heard that you are a distinguished guest of Jinghong Pavilion. I have heard of Jinghong Pavilion for a long time, but I have never had the chance to enter. Now that you have returned to the capital after making great achievements, can we go to Jinghong Pavilion to celebrate?"

Hearing this, Jiang Ningwan was stunned.

He suddenly mentioned Jinghong Pavilion. Is he suspicious of something?

I don’t know if Shen Lanyi told her cousin.

"Okay, but I'm a little busy lately. I'll take you there when I have time." She smiled and dealt with it.

But Qin Wenli didn't believe it. "What are you busy with recently? I can help you."

"I……"

Just when Jiang Ningwan was in a dilemma, a clear voice suddenly came from behind: "Am I late?"

Qin Wenli was shocked but did not turn around.

Ling Chaowen quickly welcomed Shen Lianyi over. "It's not too late, the food is already prepared. Just wait for a few more people, and we'll start eating once everyone is here!"

Then Ling Chaowen ordered the maid to serve some snacks and tea.

After Shen Lianyi sat down, he looked normal and chatted with Jiang Ningwan and Ling Jinlan.

But he never said a word to Qin Wenli.

Jiang Ningwan and Ling Jinlan both noticed the strange atmosphere and didn't dare to say anything.

Fortunately, after Qin Shuangchi, Jiang Zhouye and Pei Xunzhi arrived, the atmosphere became warmer and less awkward.

After everyone had a round of drinks, Qin Wenli suddenly asked, "Who here has ever been to Jinghong Pavilion?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Pei Xunzhi said excitedly: "I've been there, I've been there! It was Sister Wan who took me there! The performances there were superb and unforgettable!"

Hearing this, Qin Wenli smiled and asked, "How is this exquisite method? Can you tell me about it?"

Pei Xunzhi immediately started talking non-stop.

Jiang Ningwan and Shen Lanyi looked at each other, and when pouring wine, they accidentally knocked over the cup, spilling the wine all over them.

"I'm going to change, you guys eat first."

Shen Lianyi stood up and said, "Let me help you."

Then the two left the party together.
