Chapter 564 - Luo Wenyou and Qin Yuxuans Visit (2/2)

Cousin Luo was a scholar and had always been elegant and quiet while Cousin Xuan was a lively person. It was rare for them to come across each other. She did not know if they came here for something, so she held Mo Lan’s hand and went to the living room.

Qin Yuxuan was already a little unsettled in the living room. He could not sit still whenever he thought of the painting. He went to the door and took a look. Then, he sat down and poured hot water into his mouth. He was burned and jumping around. Looking at him, Luo Wenyou smiled and said, “Yuxuan, don’t worry. Cousin Tong will come out in a while.”

“How can I not be anxious? Grandmother is very fond of that painting. But look at my Elder Brother, he actually lost it. It’s fine if it’s gone, but at least he has to inform Grandmother of it and make things clear. But look at him, what did he do? He actually went to the imperial exam and left it to me. If my father knows that I lost my grandmother’s most precious painting, he will break my legs.”

Qin Yuxuan sighed sadly. Thinking that there was no way to deal with this matter, he felt that his future was dark. He had long known that his elder brother was a scheming man, but he shouldn’t slander him no matter how scheming he was.

“What kind of painting made you so anxious?” Luo Wenyou grew curious about the painting.

“It’s just an ordinary painting. It’s really not a famous work. It looks like a woman’s painting with soft strokes and there are a few women in it. I don’t see anything precious about it,” Qin Yuxuan said angrily. He really couldn’t see anything special about this painting.

Thinking for a moment, Luo Wenyou waved the fan in his hand and replied, “It might be drawn by someone your grandmother knows or someone who used to be her close friend or something like that!”

“You’re right. That’s possible. Otherwise, no famous artist could paint so many women in one painting.” Qin Yuxuan slapped his leg and answered immediately.

“Paint so many women in one painting?” A charming voice could be heard from the door. Then, Mo Xuetong entered with a smile on her face, followed by a few maidservants. She was dressed in an elegant light green coat and a light gray embroidered dress. It was very plain but when the wind blew, lifting the hem of her fluttering dress, she looked as if she were going to ascend to heaven and become immortal.

Qin Yuxuan paused and put away the arrogance on his face. There was a hint of bitterness in his eyes. His eyes chased after Mo Xuetong’s slender figure automatically. The corners of his eyes landed on her beautiful face. She still looked pure and beautiful and there was no forced smile on her face. Her lively eyes turned slightly. It was obvious that she was very blissful.

Even though King Xuan had a bad reputation, he should be good to her!

“As long as she lives a good life!” For some reason, tears were about to well up in his eyes!

“Cousin Tong.” Luo Wenyou greeted her with a smile. Qin Yuxuan also cupped his hands before his chest subconsciously. Then, he hid the tears in his eyes and put on an alive smile on his face again. No matter what, Cousin Tong seemed to be doing well right now. That was enough.

“Eldest Cousin, Cousin Xuan, please take a seat.” Mo Xuetong smiled, curtsied with a bow, and gestured for them to sit.

“Cousin Tong, Grandmother asked if you are all right. Do you need any help?” Luo Wenyou sat down and went straight to the point. He had come to greet Cousin Tong on behalf of his grandmother, and did not expect to run into Qin Yuxuan who also came to see her on the way here. As such, the two of them came together.

Mo Xuetong smiled lightly. She knew what Luo Wenyou meant. “Eldest Cousin, please tell Grandmother that I am fine. Don’t worry. If anything happens, I will definitely inform her. I will not let her worry about me.”

Luo Wenyou paused and said somewhat awkwardly, “Cousin Tong, if there is another banquet, you’d better not attend it next time.” He also knew that there was something wrong with his own words. Feng Yuran was a prince, so there was no reason for her not to attend the banquet in the palace. However, he had to say that because it was what his grandmother wanted to told her.

“Eldest Cousin, tell Grandmother not to worry. I know. I will not get into trouble.” Mo Xuetong could not help laughing when she heard Luo Wenyou’s insincere advice. Her eyes shone with charming beauty as she spoke coyly.

Qin Yuxuan’s heart warmed when he saw her pretty, smiling face. He could not help but try to persuade her, “Old Madam must be too worried about Cousin Tong. Don’t worry, she’s smart. She’ll be fine.”

When he said that, he suddenly thought of his purpose of coming here. He could not help but frown and said bitterly to Mo Xuetong, “Cousin Tong, you really have to help me. Otherwise, I would die.”

“Cousin Xuan, what’s the matter?” Mo Xuetong asked quietly.

“What else could it be? It was all Elder Brother’s fault. He took a fancy to a painting in Grandmother’s room and told me to take it out. But he did not return it to me. I did not care much about it, but Grandmother did. She was trying to get the painting from me over the past few days. However, Elder Brother said that the painting had disappeared. What should I tell Grandmother?” Qin Yuxuan rubbed his head with his hand, looking worried.

Mo Xuetong’s heart skipped a beat. She smiled and asked, “What kind of painting is it that makes Grandaunt so worried? Is it from a famous painter?”

“It would be great if it were drawn by a famous painter. There were only three girls in the painting. I could not see anything good from it, so I threw them to Elder Brother casually. I thought it was not a big deal even if Elder Brother wanted them. Anyway, they are not that good. But I didn’t expect that Grandmother would not let go of it and asked me for them. Elder Brother, who has never made a mistake, even lost it. Where should I go to find it now?”

Speaking of this, Qin Yuxuan was really annoyed! If he had known that the result would be like this, he would not have helped his elder brother to bring this painting. How did it come to this? It was completely unrelated to him!
