Then, he looked at Wang Yugui and sighed: "You are just a little painter, so you should just stay at home and paint your paintings well."

"Why do you always get involved with irrelevant people and things? Although the rumors about you spread by the Zhang family are slanderous, you should also reflect on yourself!"

"Why didn't the Third Young Master's wife wrongly accuse someone else but you? It's because of your misconduct that people are talking about you!"

"Men and women should not touch each other, don't you understand? If it weren't for Lord Hai's full protection of you, I think you wouldn't even be able to continue to be a painter!"

"People's words are scary, don't you know that?"

"Mr. Tan is teaching me that I have reflected on myself and have never taken the initiative to provoke anyone from the Zhang residence. I didn't expect that I would still be slandered by rumors." Wang Yugui was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly explained.

Mr. Tan looked at him again and said, "You haven't avoided suspicion enough!"

"If your reputation is ruined because of this kind of unfounded affair between a man and a woman, it will not only affect your future."

"My Xi'er will never marry you!"

"Ah?" Wang Yugui was shocked and said hurriedly: "I will be more careful to avoid suspicion in the future about what Mr. Tan taught me."

"Never give anyone the chance to slander me!"

"Well, it's good that you know what's going on." Mr. Tan nodded, and then he said in a slightly slower tone: "You can go now, read books at home, and pass the exam. I'll talk to you another day."

"Yes," Wang Yugui agreed quickly and turned around and left the Tan Mansion.

I was very happy when I came, and thought that maybe I could meet Miss Tan.

Unexpectedly, after being scolded by Mr. Tan, he almost lost his qualification to propose marriage.

Wang Yugui sighed as he walked back, wondering, how did Mr. Tan know all these things?

Mr. Tan has been secretly watching me?

Oh, it seems that I have to be more careful in my actions in the future, and not cause any trouble that will affect my image.

He was walking forward with his head down, when suddenly a woman's figure blocked his way.

Wang Yugui was walking so fast that he almost bumped into the woman. Frightened, he quickly braked and stopped, took two steps back, and looked up. Oh my God, what I feared came true!

Jin Baochai was looking at him with a smile: "Master Xiao Wang, what are you doing in such a hurry?"

"He just kept his head down while walking, not even looking at people, and almost bumped into me!"

"Oh, yes, it's Sister-in-law Xiao Qi. Sorry, I didn't see you," Wang Yugui said hurriedly.

He deliberately changed Jin Baochai's name. He no longer called her Miss Jin, but called her Sister Xiao Qi instead.

Mr. Tan just scolded me, so I have to avoid suspicion!

Jin Baochai frowned after hearing this: "Master Xiao Wang, what did you call me? Sister-in-law Xiao Qi?"

As he said this, he suddenly covered his face and laughed: "Hey, Painter Xiao Wang, what's wrong with you today?"

"Why are you suddenly calling me Sister-in-law Xiao Qi? No one outside has ever called me that before, haha."

"I usually address Painter Xiao Qi and I as brothers. I call Painter Xiao Qi Brother Xiao Qi, and when I call you, of course you should call you Sister-in-law Xiao Qi. The rules cannot be broken," Wang Yugui said seriously.

After hearing this, Jin Baochai looked at Wang Yugui and frowned, "Little Painter Wang, are you okay? It's not like we just met today."

"You've always called me Miss Jin, why did you suddenly remember to follow the rules today? And you even want to call me Sister-in-law Xiao Qi?"

"Yes, I didn't notice it before. Please forgive me, Sister-in-law Xiao Qi. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." After Wang Yugui finished speaking, he bowed to Jin Baochai and hurriedly walked towards the food street next to him.

Jin Baochai was left alone on the street in a mess: "Is this painter Wang sick? It's so weird!"

Wang Yugui actually didn’t want to go to the food street. He just wanted to avoid Jin Baochai for a while and deliberately took a walk around the food street.

Just after walking in the food street for a while, he heard someone calling him from behind: "Brother Wang, is that you?"

When Wang Yugui heard this, he frowned. It was Zhang Siwen!

When he turned around, he saw that it was indeed the fat man Zhang Siwen, who was staggering towards him with two servants.

"Brother Zhang, it's me." Wang Yugui smiled and looked at Zhang Siwen

Zhang Siwen walked up to Wang Yugui, grabbed Wang Yugui, and whispered, "My dear brother, I just saw you at the intersection, talking to a beautiful girl. That beautiful girl seems to be the Miss Jin who lives across from your house, right?"

Oh my god! Wang Yugui was speechless. How come Fatty Zhang had to see it?

"What Miss Jin? That's the wife of Painter Xiao Qi. I call her Sister Xiao Qi now," Wang Yugui said hurriedly.

Zhang Siwen was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Haha, Xiao Qi's sister-in-law? Yeah, I see, I see!"

"Brother, are you trying to avoid suspicion? Haha, I understand!"

Oh, this fat man's smile made Wang Yugui feel uncomfortable. Obviously, there was nothing going on between him and Jin Baochai, but he felt as if something was wrong because of his smile.

"Brother Zhang, the young wife is a married woman, you have to avoid suspicion." Wang Yugui looked at Fatty Zhang calmly and said

Zhang Siwen listened and didn't take it seriously: "Haha, dear brother, why should I avoid suspicion? There's nothing wrong between me and that young wife!"

"No!" Wang Yugui said loudly. He looked at Zhang Siwen and lowered his voice mysteriously: "Brother Zhang, I have heard some rumors about you!"

"Ah? What? What rumor about me?" Zhang Siwen was surprised and looked at Wang Yugui with wide eyes.

Wang Yugui whispered, "Some people say that you have a crush on Painter Xiao Qi's wife, and that you often gossip about her with others outside!"

"Ah? Yes, which bastard said that?" Zhang Siwen was shocked.

Wang Yugui hurriedly pulled him and said, "Brother Zhang, please keep your voice down. Think about it, you often gossip about the young wife of Painter Xiao Qi with others outside. What will others think?"

"They will definitely think that you are interested in that young wife. If word gets around, it might even be said that you have some relationship with that young wife!"

"Ah? Damn it, which bastard is so boring? I have nothing to do with that young wife!" Zhang Siwen was so angry that he shook his head

Then he grabbed Wang Yugui's arm and asked, "Brother, who told you that?"

"Oh, Brother Zhang, I can't say that. Many people out there are saying that."

"So, I thought, I live across from that young wife, and maybe someone would gossip about me. I was so scared that I didn't even dare to call her Miss Jin," Wang Yugui said seriously.

He added: "Look, even a gentleman like you, Brother Zhang, has been slandered. I have to be careful too."

"Now I only dare to call her Sister-in-law Xiao Qi!"

Wang Yugui said, patting Zhang Siwen on the shoulder: "Brother Zhang, I think you have to be more careful in the future. Think about it, your identity is on display in this city."

"You are a young gentleman, handsome and well-off, with a rich family and a lot of wealth. How many people envy and hate you? If you make a mistake, wouldn't it be easy for people to spread rumors and cause trouble?"

"Ah... Brother, you are right. Whenever I go out, I always feel like I am the center of attention." Zhang Siwen was very pleased with the compliment. He raised his head and put on a proud look.
