Seeing that her expression wasn't good, she pointed at the butler who didn't know what to say, then giggled as she stuffed the brush into the butler's hands. ”If you don't believe me, you can write and try painting.”

The butler had a face full of suspicion. Under Lu JinNian's encouraging gaze, he wrote his own name on the wall.

”Li Shu? The housekeeper's name is very elegant. ”

The butler blushed, ”This old servant was raised as a girl when I was young, so the name I got was a bit softer.”

Lu Jinnian smiled without answering, and instead said, ”The walls are very large, so I'm relatively poor, so I didn't hire many painters. I wonder if I could ask the butler and the servants of the crown prince's residence to help me paint the walls as soon as possible? Presumably, the crown prince also wants to take care of the palace walls as soon as possible. ”

Li Shu frowned as she looked at the large amount of wall left. If she didn't speed up, it was true that she wouldn't be able to finish cleaning the wall in one day, so she agreed to Lu JinNian's suggestion.

Lu Jinniang took advantage of the situation to extricate himself from the painters and return to Chen Li and Ya Xiong's side. ”I've troubled Imperial Physician Chen today. I heard that Imperial Physician Chen is on duty tonight, so this lady won't send Imperial Physician Chen home to rest.”

Chen Li, ”…” Even killing a donkey wouldn't be done so quickly!

”I can't say I'm troubling you, but if Miss Lu still needs to find this humble subject, I'll have to trouble you to walk through the main entrance.”

Lu JinNian smiled sweetly, ”I'll try my best.”

”…”

After Chen Li left, Ya Xiong looked at the palace wall that was gradually being whitewashed. He was actually helping the crown prince clean the wall?

”Didn't you say that you would avenge your sworn brother?”

Lu JinNian glanced at him, pretending to sigh and shook his head, ”The world is so beautiful, but you are so irascible, no?”

Sui Xiong, ”...”

Lu JinNian looked up at the sky, ”The weather has been beautiful in the recent days, but it seems like there's a lot of rain this spring. There's not much rain in the north, but it's like spring rain is as precious as oil. It's a good omen of good weather.”

”…” In this kind of situation, the way you worry about your country and your people is very unfriendly!

”...”

Even with the help of people from the crown prince's residence, they had finished painting all the walls and arrived at dusk. Lu JinNian settled the wages of the craftsmen, bought the cloud slice cake Mu Qin wanted, and painted the candied fruits that Mu liked to eat before heading home.

Yi Han had already lit up the lantern and hung it on the tree branch. On the table under the tree, the little beggar girl Bird's Nest was eating the rice in a bowl, one bowl of rice was just finished, and before he could finish, he raised the bowl and said to Yi Han, ”Big sister, give me another bowl!”

Yi Han stared at his rice bowl and said, ”Little beggar, you've already eaten five bowls. It's not that you don't want a bowl of rice, but you will get sick if you eat so much at once.”

Tears welled up in the little beggar's eyes as he launched his pitiful attacks. Lu Jinniang stood on the roof and watched. After a long while, he finally jumped into the yard and said, ”Yi Han, serve him another bowl.”

The little beggar's eyes lit up, and he immediately beamed with joy. ”Eldest Miss, you've returned.”
