157 Portrait nightmare
"Husband, are you back?" Li Niang hastily smiled as she greeted Xie Danyang. She knew that her husband must be very tired when he was painting. She had instructed Hui Er to burn the wine in the kitchen and prepare some delicate and clean dishes to wait for her husband to return. 0
At this moment, Xie Danyang was no longer the down-and-coming painter who used to set up stalls and draw on the streets. Zhou was dressed in the same manner as those elegant scholars and young masters. From the looks of it, he looked gorgeous and tidy, and he had a valuable folding fan in his hand to show his identity. The jade pendant on the bamboo folding fan of Xiang Fei was personally picked out by Li Niang from the good things that she had accumulated in the past for Xie Danyang.
"I've had dinner today, but since Wife has prepared a good dish, it's fine to have a few glasses of wine." As Xie Danyang said that, she sat down at the table and placed the folding fan in her hand on the table. The sharp-eyed Li Niang discovered that the Pisces pendant of the Yangzhi Jade was missing. She looked at the Xie Danyang and saw that his face was flushed red. It seemed that he had eaten wine and rice at the home of the customer. Generally, Xie Danyang rarely used food at the home of the customer. Even if the customer was so enthusiastic, she would refuse. How could she agree so easily this time?
Xie Danyang roughly saw through Li Niang's thoughts and ordered the painter who had followed him to bring over a food box." It's said that I don' t want to stay for dinner, but the owner was very generous and even specially brought out this year's new anchovy for guests. I remember that my wife often mentioned the delicacy of the anchovy, but she rarely had a chance to eat it. Since there's such a good thing to eat, I' ll stay. Thanks to the host's hospitality, I even gave these anchovy to me."
The minnow on the plate was still steaming. It was obvious that she had specially used hot water to keep it warm. When Li Niang saw this, she was very grateful to her husband for his kindness. She didn't care about the jade pendant. The couple chatted and laughed before having dinner.
After dinner Xie Danyang she went to bathe and change her clothes as usual. When Li Niang saw that her husband's picture box was still at the table, she took the initiative to pack up Xie Danyang painting equipment.
Li Niang opened the picture box. It was nothing more than some paper, paint, brush, and the like. Most of them were made by her own hands for Xie Danyang, so it wasn't a secret for her. When Li Niang saw that some scrolls had n' t been tied yet, she went to tidy up the painting. Coincidentally, when she picked up one of the paintings, the entire painting was opened.
When Li Niang saw this, she couldn't help but be startled. It was a white painting of flowers. It was n' t strange. Strangely, half of the flowers on the painting had already been dyed with gorgeous colors, while the other half was still white. Moreover, this kind of flower had never been seen by Li Niang before.
The strange and gorgeous red color seemed to make Li Niang smell waves of nauseating blood. Her chest was filled with annoyance and her eyes turned black. Suddenly, she heard Xie Danyang stern voice behind her," Why didn't you say hello? Why did n' t you just flip over my things? There are also recent paintings inside. It would be very troublesome if you dye them!"
The painting scroll on Li Niang's stunned hand fell to the ground with a crashing sound. Xie Danyang had never spoken to her with such a cold and stern attitude. She had always been amiable, and the couple had never blushed.
Xie Danyang also realized that her attitude was too intense. She hurriedly squeezed out a smile and ran over to clean up the painting on the ground. The couple did not speak.
When Li Niang realized that Xie Danyang was particularly nervous about the half-stained white painting, she couldn't help but recall the painting that was said to have killed the Third Miss of the Lu family, the blood-red peony. Could it be that the matter was actually true?
Li Niang's heart skipped a beat. She still forced a smile on her face and apologized to Xie Danyang. Xie Danyang also said that she was too impatient to be polite to her, so she asked her to forgive his mistake.
In the evening, Xie Danyang said that although the Gu family had given him a large sum of money, it was very urgent. They requested that the painting be finished as soon as possible, so they had to spend the night painting in the study. Since the wife's body was inconvenient, she did n' t need to wait for him. She had better rest early.
Although Li Niang wanted to ask what was going on, she still did not say anything when she thought of Xie Danyang sudden anger.
At night, Li Niang was lying on her bed alone. She couldn't fall asleep as she flipped over and over. She felt as if the baby was stirring up trouble in her stomach. A few days ago, she had already asked her doctor to diagnose that the baby was safe and sound, so why did she suddenly feel uncomfortable today? When she thought about the real person Zi Wei whom she had met during the day, even though she was very vague, her meaning was already obvious. After thinking about it, Li Niang decided to personally go to Qingfeng Hermit to ask for a good and bad answer. Even if there was a misunderstanding, she felt much more at ease.
Since she had thought about it, Li Niang felt much more at ease. Finally, she fell into a daze and fell asleep. She suddenly saw a beautiful young girl sitting in a sea of red flowers. It was like the most beautiful picture, but the girl's face was filled with sorrow, pain, and fear, as if she was surrounded by a terrifying sea of knives and flames.
Li Niang couldn't help but walk over to the girl's side. She heard the girl suddenly scream," Don't come over, please, do n' t come over!"
Li Niang was stunned. She suddenly realized that the red-hot flowers beneath her feet were suddenly as ferocious as demons, and they continued to form a sea of flames. The raging flames burned endlessly, surrounding the young girl and surrounding Li Niang.
No, it wasn't a beautiful girl in white clothes. It was a ghost in red clothes, with a livid face, a bloody mouth, and serrated fangs. It was terrifying!
Li Niang wanted to retreat, but her legs seemed to have been nailed to the ground, unable to move at all. She could only watch with fear as if a living flame was burning up from the corner of her skirt. In the flames could be seen countless ghosts laughing.
Li Niang woke up from her dream once again. Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her clothes were soaked. She clung tightly to her body. Li Niang looked at her side, but it was still empty. Xie Danyang did not come back to sleep.
Like a ghost, Li Niang wanted to see her husband's picture box again. According to his habits, every day's finished painting would be placed in the box. If it wasn't painted, it would be brought into the study, so the painting should still be inside.
Li Niang tiptoed to the main room and deliberately didn't Hui Er to notice. She always felt that if she did n' t know that it was only good for her, Hui Er Li Niang found the picture box and carefully opened it. Sure enough, she sent out the half-colored flower and unexpectedly saw that it was said to have been burned by the Lu family.
Li Niang couldn't help but be stunned when she saw the painting. It was n' t just a piece of peony. There was actually a girl in the painting, and she was the girl who appeared in Li Niang's nightmare!
Could this be the legendary Third Miss of the Lu family who had been killed by Xie Danyang painting? Li Niang could hardly believe her eyes, but the young girl's face was lifelike. Her sorrowful eyes seemed to be warning her face to face. Do n' t believe Xie Danyang, don't believe him!
