The scumbag wanted to wipe out the whole family, but rebirth ruined him!

Zhao Huayin walked quickly forward and looked closely at the painting "Spring Flowers".

After careful identification, Zhao Huayin confirmed that this was the one he had painted.

Both the paper and the brushwork are exactly the same as the one he kept in his father's study.

Zhao Huayin didn't understand why her paintings appeared for no reason at the hairpin appreciation party held in the Qihou Mansion.

No one even informed me.

Old Madam Zhao and Madam Qi Hou came out of the room and saw Zhao Huayin standing in front of the picture in a daze.

"Did you recognize him?"

Old Madam Zhao came over with a smile.

"That day, the wife of the Marquis of Qi invited my grandmother to choose some paintings to hang on the second floor. She wanted them to be of excellent painting skills.

It is best if it is made by a girl in the boudoir, so that it will be easier for other ladies to appreciate it.

We both selected many paintings, but none of them were satisfactory. However, Qin'er mentioned that she saw a painting by Sister Huayin in her uncle's study last time.

The painting skills are superb and it is definitely worthy of being exhibited.”

Zhao Huaqin deliberately hung her paintings here, it was definitely not just for the purpose of having them as exhibits.

The pot of peony that was sent did not reveal anything, but Zhao Huayin was very sure at this moment that the two of them must have conspired something again.

"Yes."

The wife of the Marquis of Qi stepped forward and took over the conversation.

"Huaqin was so impressed by her elder sister's painting skills that she immediately went back home to get the painting."

Zhao Huayin sneered in her heart, Zhao Huaqin was really enthusiastic.

I don't know when she, the eldest sister, started to make her worry about her so much.

“When Madam Hou saw the painting, she decided to hang it on the second floor, saying that it would be a good place for everyone to observe and learn from.

Yinyin hasn't thanked Madam Hou for her kindness yet."

Old Madam Zhao said earnestly.

"I thank Madam Hou for her kindness."

"Why are you so polite, elder sister? Yinyin is your granddaughter, just like my granddaughter.

Yinyin's painting skills are so good, it shows that my sister has taught her well. "

The two of them talked and returned to the main table together.

Zhao Huayin:?

At this time, the guests were almost all gathered, and the ladies came over one by one to greet the wife of the Marquis of Qi.

The wife of the Marquis of Qi stood up and announced in a loud voice the start of today's hairpin appreciation meeting.

Zhao Huayin stood beside Old Madam Zhao, and was originally just quietly watching the people downstairs gathering in groups of three or four to appreciate poetry and discuss painting.

After a while, the wife of the Marquis of Qi posted the first question of the day.

Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs and a group of people rushed in noisily.

A limping figure appeared in the hall.

Liuyun Dianxue, who was standing by, also saw Zhou Pei and glanced at Zhao Huayin with concern.

Zhao Huayin's face was as gloomy as water, staring fixedly at the downstairs.

From seeing her own paintings just now, Zhao Huayin knew that today's hairpin appreciation meeting would be no simple matter. Sure enough, Zhou Pei came.

Zhao Huayin wanted to see what kind of trouble could arise now that the news of him plagiarizing other people's poems had already spread throughout the capital.

Sure enough, as soon as Zhou Pei walked into the hall, several students from Hanzhang Academy recognized him and gathered together to talk.

As he spoke, he cast a look of contempt at Zhou Pei.

"Humph! Today, the wife of the Marquis of Qi invited us to attend the Hairpin Appreciation Meeting, but anyone dared to come in."

One student couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

"You may not know this yet, but this is the Master Zhou who made a big splash at the poetry gathering at Prince Xuan's mansion. I just don't know how Master Zhou got a limp despite being taken care of by the Fourth Prince."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Many princes and nobles here had participated in the poetry competition held in Prince Xuan's Palace and knew that Zhou Pei was taken away by the City Defense Battalion for plagiarism.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sneer.

"I just don't know if Mr. Zhou has prepared for today's questions in advance?"

Contemptuous looks came from all directions.

Zhou Pei looked a little embarrassed, then he looked up and saw Zhao Huayin on the second floor, then he calmed down and said,

"The last incident was just a misunderstanding. I have already explained the reason to the prince. I am here today to look for someone!"

When Zhou Pei said this, everyone looked at each other in surprise, and then burst into laughter.

"This is ridiculous. You don't even have the qualifications to enter here. Do you think you can do whatever you want just by barging in with a few people?"

"That's right, you'd better get out of here right now. Don't you see who the host is today? Someone like you who comes from a humble background and has a bad character doesn't deserve to be here!"

Zhou Pei has always been proud of his talent. How could he tolerate others laughing at his background? His face immediately fell when he heard this.

"You who rely on your family's influence, what qualifications do you have to laugh at me? At least I am here based on my own abilities."

As he spoke, he showed a token in his hand.

The two people who were nearby came forward to take a look and found that it was actually the token of Prince Xuan's palace.

The wife of the Marquis of Qi also saw the commotion downstairs. She whispered a few words to the nanny beside her, and the nanny went downstairs.

"Madam Hou sent this old servant to ask why there is so much commotion here. Gentlemen, please give your own answers first."

As soon as Mammy said this, everyone fell silent.

Many people returned to their seats to continue painting. Zhou Pei took a few steps forward and walked in front of the nanny.

"My name is Zhou Pei. I came here to look for someone today and have no intention of disrupting your hairpin appreciation meeting. I have her painting here as evidence. Please take a look, Madam."

As he spoke, Zhou Pei took out the painting from his arms and unfolded it in front of the nanny.

When the nanny saw it, she frowned.

There is a branch of winter plum blossom on the drawing paper. The layout of the painting is good, but it looks like a beginner's doodle.

"You must have come to the wrong place, sir. All the people present today are talented young men and women. How could they paint such crude paintings?"

Zhou Pei paused after hearing this.

Zhao Huayin's painting skills are superb. This nanny must be talking nonsense.

"If you don't believe me, Mammy, take down the painting at the entrance to the second floor and compare it. They are definitely painted by the same person."

Zhou Pei said this proudly, and then looked at the nanny with confidence.

The nanny looked at Zhou Pei suspiciously. If this man came to cause trouble, why was he so stupid?

Because Zhou Pei had the token of Prince Xuan's palace, the nanny ordered someone to bring the painting over.

When the two paintings were placed together, the people around first came over to look at them, and then suddenly burst into laughter.

"If these two paintings were made by the same person, then that one must have been drawn when he was three years old, right?"

Zhou Pei leaned forward to take a look and his expression suddenly changed when he heard the words.

This……

This is not the painting that Zhao Huayin gave him.

what is the problem?

Zhou Pei looked over the drawing paper several times. Apart from being similar to the drawing paper Zhao Huayin gave him, the painting was not similar at all.

Zhou Pei didn't know what was going on for a moment. Seeing the nanny staring at him with burning eyes, he felt ashamed and embarrassed in an instant.

In desperation, Zhou Pei took out several other paintings.

"Maybe I took the wrong ones. Mammy, please take another look at these!"

The nanny was a little impatient and looked at the other paintings as well, her expression becoming even more unfriendly.

"This young master must be joking, right? Today is a big day for our Qihou Mansion. Please go in, young master. The person you are looking for is not here."

After the nanny said this, she winked at the two servants behind her, and the two servants carried Zhou Pei and were about to walk out.

Zhao Huayin was quietly watching everything downstairs from upstairs.

Zhou Pei must have been so confident that he thought he had found the letter Zhao Huayin had given him that he didn't even take a look at it before leaving.

Little did he know that these letters had long been replaced by Yu Ying'er's masterpieces.

At first, Yu Ying'er wanted to learn painting from Zhao Huayin, but after only a few days of study, she used the excuse of having a headache and a fever to refuse to learn.

Only a few graffiti works were thrown casually at Zhao Huayin's place.

Zhao Huayin thought that if she wanted to learn again someday, she would have a reference, so she put the doodles away.

Who would have thought these paintings could be used in this way?

There was even more sarcasm in Zhao Huayin's eyes. Without those paintings, she wanted to see what Zhou Pei could do.

All the words Zhou Pei had prepared were useless at this moment, and he looked upstairs with a sinister look.

The servant brought by Zhou Pei had already started fighting with the servants of the Marquis of Qi's mansion.

At this time, Zhao Huayin saw a familiar figure in the corner of the hall.

Why is Yu Ying'er here?
