GTB Chapter 115

“You say?” Although Shi Yuanchen was a little puzzled, he immediately asked.

“Could it be that you’re selling these paintings outside?”

Jiang Jiuchu’s words made Shi Yuanchen scratch his nose awkwardly. It seemed his seventh sister-in-law knew about Yun You Gong Zi.

He had no choice but to tell the truth, “To be honest, seventh sister-in-law, I am indeed selling them. I’m just a little short on cash, and I had no other choice… Anyway, seventh brother just paints casually, it doesn’t take much effort.”

Jiang Jiuchu nodded, “Then the paintings circulating on the market, are they all coming from you? Or does he himself…”

She was a little worried, worried that Shi Yan would find out the origin of the painting her father had, after all, her father and brother had both said that men were very jealous in this regard, and she didn’t want to cause any trouble for Brother Fu because of herself.

Although she hadn’t heard of Shi Yan’s bloodthirsty and ruthless personality, she could sense that if this man was really angry, it wouldn’t be so simple.

Moreover, in the past two days, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that Shi Yan was somewhat different towards her.

Shi Yuanchen didn’t quite understand why Jiang Jiuchu was asking this, and was even more embarrassed by the question. After all, ninety-nine percent of the paintings circulating outside were stolen and sold by him in his early days.

“Um… well… almost all of them were taken out by me, but thanks to me, otherwise how could my seventh brother’s paintings become so popular and worth a thousand gold!”

Hearing this, Jiang Jiuchu’s heart relaxed. That’s right, with Shi Yan’s personality, how could he sell paintings for money? Besides, he had so many industries, he wasn’t short of money.

She looked back and saw that Mu Huo was still guarding outside the study, so she raised her hand to her chest to block it, took out the painting from her sleeve and handed it to Shi Yuanchen, “Quickly put it away, don’t let Mu Huo see it.”

Shi Yuanchen was stunned, he didn’t expect Jiang Jiuchu to not only give it to him, but also help him hide it. He immediately stuffed the painting quickly into his wide sleeve, “Thank you, seventh sister-in-law.”

“You’re welcome, you call me seventh sister-in-law, I can still help you steal a painting.”

After Jiang Jiuchu finished speaking, her eyes turned, she picked up the tea brought by Green Willow and took a sip, then asked, “May I ask, how old is Eighth Brother?”

Shi Yuanchen was just about to say goodbye when he heard Jiang Jiuchu’s question. He looked at Jiang Jiuchu with some surprise, “I’m seventeen this year.”

“Oh! Seventeen is not too young, among all the princes, it seems that only Eighth Brother hasn’t married yet!”

“Yeah.” Shi Yuanchen nodded. If these words were said by someone else, he would find it annoying, but he was happy to answer when Jiang Jiuchu asked.

After all, he really liked Jiang Jiuchu before, liked her to the point where he was distracted after seeing her only once.

This face was just grown in his heart, he had never seen such a beautiful girl, so beautiful that he felt a little dazzling.

But there was no fate between them after all, she is now his sister-in-law, he naturally has no other thoughts, but answering her questions is always possible, right!

Jiang Jiuchu asked as if chatting casually, “Is it because you don’t have a girl you like, or…”

Shi Yuanchen was a little embarrassed, “No… I don’t.”

After Jiang Jiuchu asked, she also remembered something, suppressed the embarrassment in her heart, and continued to probe, “How could that be? Don’t you often play with your seventh brother?”

“Your seventh brother has so many confidantes, how come you don’t have any? Is it because the family background is not suitable?”

Shi Yuanchen’s attention was all on the sentence “Your seventh brother has many confidantes”, and he looked at Jiang Jiuchu blankly, “Does my seventh brother have many confidantes?”

Jiang Jiuchu nodded, “Yes, I heard him say several times in his sleep at night, calling out the names of girls,”

“…What were they called?” As she said that, she frowned as if thinking about it, “Alas, I can’t remember either.”

After Jiang Jiuchu finished speaking, she looked at Shi Yuanchen. Since he and Shi Yan were destined to be together for life, and since Shi Yan had a good impression of her and didn’t take concubines, she could try to understand him.

Therefore, she wanted to know, what was he like outside? Did he indulge in pleasure and have beauties in his arms every day?

Shi Yuanchen listened with a confused expression, how could he not know?

“That… seventh sister-in-law, could it be that you heard it wrong! Seventh brother doesn’t have any confidantes!”

“I shouldn’t… have heard it wrong.” After Jiang Jiuchu finished speaking, she looked indifferent, “Eh, if he has them, then he has them, this is all human nature, I don’t mind, so you don’t have to cover up for him.”

“There really aren’t any!” As soon as Shi Yuanchen finished speaking, he thought of Yu Qin, thinking, could it be that seventh brother called Yu Qin’s name in his dream?

But his seventh brother didn’t seem to care much about that Miss Yu! Although the treatment he gave her was very good, there was no relationship between a man and a woman.

Could it be that the girl died too suddenly and buried a shadow in his seventh brother’s heart, so he often dreamed about her?

After thinking for a moment, he suddenly looked at Jiang Jiuchu with some suspicion, “Seventh sister-in-law, could it be that you are deliberately trying to get information out of me!”

Although Shi Yuanchen was usually laughing and joking, he was actually very shrewd, he didn’t dare to say the existence of Yu Qin, in case seventh sister-in-law misunderstood, it would be terrible.

He didn’t think that women could not be jealous in this regard, unless they had no feelings for their husband.

Jiang Jiuchu’s expression froze, she had already made a big detour, was it still so obvious?

Was it that she couldn’t lie, or were all the people in the royal family very clever.

She quickly denied, “Eighth brother, why would you say that, there is no such thing, I just happened to be chatting about this!”

Although Shi Yuanchen was not sure whether Jiang Jiuchu was trying to get information out of him, he still had to say what he should say, “Seventh sister-in-law, don’t worry, seventh brother is the most self-disciplined, after he married you, he doesn’t even go to Xiaoyue Tower much anymore.”

After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that it was inappropriate, and immediately explained again, “Seventh brother used to go, just to drink and listen to music, none of those women got close.”

Jiang Jiuchu expressed doubt about Shi Yuanchen’s words, putting aside those brothels, that dead girl was obviously his sweetheart!

Otherwise, why would he have treated her like that on their wedding night?

“Hey! I already said that’s not what I meant, why doesn’t eighth brother believe me? Forget it, I won’t chat anymore, eighth brother, go back!”

After Jiang Jiuchu thought about it, she instructed, “That, don’t tell your seventh brother about me saying that your seventh brother talks in his sleep! He will be angry if he knows.”

“Okay, I won’t say a word.” Shi Yuanchen got up and smiled, “Then seventh sister-in-law, I’ll take my leave first, I’ll come to find seventh brother another day.”

Jiang Jiuchu nodded, just as she was about to turn around and go back to the house, she saw Mu Shui leading a girl to her, “Princess, this is Mu Qing, her martial arts are excellent, His Highness ordered his subordinates to bring her here specially, she will stay by your side to protect you from now on.”

A flash of surprise flashed in Mu Qing’s eyes, thinking that this appearance was quite compatible with their master, but she didn’t know what her personality was like?

She immediately stepped forward and knelt on one knee, “Mu Qing greets the princess.”

At the same time, she felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, she actually preferred to stay in Lan Yue Tower, at least she was free, except for missions, other times she was relatively free.

Now that she was following the princess, she was afraid that she would not have any freedom at all times, and if her temper and character were not good, then it would really be a bad job.
