Chapter 214 Someone's plan has come true
Shen Shuyi didn't look at Shen Jingchuan again, but looked at Jin Zhu beside him and said, "Prepare the pen and ink."
"Yes."
Shen Jing'an's eyes fell on Shen Shuyi, and he couldn't help but say, "Second sister, if you are not capable enough, there is no need to be strong."
Shen Shuyi curled his lips, raised his eyes to look at Shen Jingan and said: "Second brother, you worry too much."
For a moment, everyone was silent, wanting to see if the second young lady of the Shen family really had this ability.
Xie Jingchi sat far away in front of a long table, drinking the wine in his glass leisurely.
Old Master Xiao was sitting next to him, drinking a little. Seeing that his expression did not change, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Why doesn't Master Xie seem to be curious about the result at all?"
Xie Jingchi raised his eyes slightly, and his clear and bright handsome face showed a bit of alluring charm, with an indescribable weird feeling.
"Someone has accomplished what he planned, so what does the outcome matter?"
Old Master Xiao is the current emperor's teacher, but he has retired for many years. Emperor Qianwu is grateful for the relationship between teacher and student in the past, so he has to give Old Master Xiao an idle position.
The old man now holds a low position in the court, but he can often go to the palace to have a few drinks with Emperor Qianwu, so he is highly respected by everyone in the court.
It's just that Mr. Xiao has a peculiar personality. Sometimes he is as easy to talk to as a spring breeze and rain, and sometimes he is as ruthless as thunder. Therefore, the group can only flatter him wholeheartedly but dare not win him over.
Old Master Xiao smiled and said, “You are very clear-sighted. No wonder His Majesty praised you as the best among the young generation.”
After Xie Jingchi drank a glass of wine, he heard Zhao Dechuan whispering beside him: "I wonder if Sister Yi is sure that she can break this situation?"
Xie Jingchi pursed his thin lips, his phoenix eyes looking directly in the direction of Shen Shuyi with a playful look.
How can we break the impasse?
This was a trap she set up.
She just wants the people in the game to think that she is the one playing the chess, and she is moving step by step in the direction she wants.
Soon, Jinzhu spread the drawing paper on the long table and ground the pen and ink for Shen Shuyi.
Madam Zhao was so angry that she looked at Madam Qin and said quietly, "It's okay for you to question Sister Yi, but if Sister Yi can prove her innocence, you should also give an explanation."
Madam Qin sneered and said, "If she can prove it, then I am wrong, and I will apologize to the Second Miss."
Old Madam Qin didn't believe from the bottom of her heart that this painting was made by Shen Shuyi, and she didn't look uneasy at all.
Qin Xuerong couldn't help but frown. It was not because of her, but because Shen Shuyi looked too calm.
As he spoke, Shen Shuyi had already picked up the pen.
In an instant, the pen hits the paper and the ink spreads instantly.
Everyone fell silent for a moment, and many people gathered around the table, leaning over to watch her paint.
The woman had slender hands and skin as white as jade. An ordinary wolf-hair brush looked incredibly beautiful in her hands.
But as people watched, they felt they couldn't understand it. The black lines drawn by the woman were as casually as a child's graffiti. There was almost no aesthetic feeling at all, and it was impossible to tell what was being drawn.
Lou Zhengtao was the first to lose his temper and said, "Does Second Miss Shen know how to paint? This painting is weird, what on earth is it? Even an outsider like me can tell it's just a mess."
Lou Yuchen also responded: "If cousin is not good at this, we can understand, so don't try to be too arrogant."
"Shut up." Zhao Baopeng said in a deep voice.
Lou Yuchen glanced at him, very angry, but did not say anything else.
Shen Jinglin joined in the fun, but he was not interested at all. He was more interested in his own cricket and where he could get more money.
In about a cup of tea, Shen Shuyi's color changed.
The group was silent for a long time, and finally couldn't help but talk in a low voice.
"Does the second young lady of the Shen family know how to paint? What is this painting about?"
Someone once again looked at Xie Jingchi and couldn't help but ask, "Master Xie is proficient in calligraphy and painting. Do you know what Miss Shen painted? Is there any mystery?"
Xie Jingchi opened a folding fan in his hand and said coldly: "Miss Shen is not anxious, why are you so anxious?"
This one sentence made the people who were waiting for answers look embarrassed.
Shen Shuyi changed the colors several times, and soon the painting had an outline. Wang Taifu spoke first: "This painting depicts exactly this scene, the bustling and lively scene of the Shen family entertaining guests and the house full of distinguished guests!"
Many people were stunned for a moment, looked carefully according to what he said, and finally made out some outlines.
"Master Wang is indeed a man of great insight. This is the scene in the courtyard right now!"
Qin Xuerong could hardly maintain the smile on her face. Just looking at the way Shen Shuyi wrote calmly and smoothly, she knew that she was not trying to be brave.
But...how is this possible?
The papers that Hongying took out were clearly collected by Nanny Zhang in the Jade Buddha Temple, and the note in Luxing's hand was secretly hidden by Shen Meiru.
If Shen Shuyi really had this ability, how could he write those words that look like earthworms...
About half an hour later, Shen Shuyi rubbed her slightly red wrist, and everyone noticed that under the lavender cuffs, the girl's slender white wrist was indeed a little red and swollen, and she seemed to be quite uncomfortable.
Seeing this scene, Shen Jingchuan was speechless, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
Xie Jingchi probably felt that the time was about up, so he stood up and walked to the table, and people on both sides made way for him.
The man stood beside Xiao Tingshan, his handsome face looking cold and intimidating.
Although he had an upright appearance, Shen Shuyi inexplicably felt that there was something weird and unnatural about him.
Shen Shuyi couldn't help but take a few more glances. It was because the man's appearance was just too good.
He seemed to be a little paler than the last time we met. His lips were very thin, revealing an indescribable coldness and indifference. His eyes were sharp and deep, with the corners of his eyes slightly raised, which added a bit of vague and seductive meaning.
The man stood there in a navy blue brocade robe, seemingly separated from the others. The Xiao Tingshan book beside him was as green as pine and cypress, and as gentle as jade, but at this moment, it had lost its color and become dim.
Shen Shuyi withdrew his gaze and quickened his writing speed.
She only wanted to prove herself and had no interest in making the painting lifelike, nor did she want to waste too much time.
So after not too long, she stopped.
Shen Shuyi stepped aside and said gently, "Please taste it."
Mrs. Feng, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but praise: "What a happy and harmonious scene it is."
Mrs. Wang couldn't help but say, "Miss Shen is a great painter. I think this painting is not as detailed as the one given to Old Madam Shen, but with just a few strokes, the charm is fully revealed, which is enough to show Miss Shen's skill."
Many people nodded in agreement: "Indeed, you see, this person is me. Although there are only a few strokes, it is extremely vivid."
"I'm in this painting too!" someone discussed excitedly.
Wang Taifu remained silent for a long time. After a while, he said in a deep voice, "Why don't you turn the painting upside down and take a look at it."
There was no need for Master Wang to say more, because there were already many people standing opposite the table, and they would have already noticed the clues by now.
