The Magic Pen Episode 4 Recap
> The Magic Pen Recap
Tong Zifu questioned why Wen Jingzhan appeared in the Painting Immortal Palace. Was he a voyeur here while painting? Wen Jingzhan told her to watch her mouth and pointed out that she was the one sneaking into the room suspiciously. Now she was falsely accusing him. He asked her what she was doing here. Tong Zifu stammered and said she was here to find inspiration. No one would believe such a reason. Wen Jingzhan, as a spy for his father, would never lie. Since she refused to tell the truth, he threatened to take her to the government office.
Tong Zifu had no choice but to confess that she had too many debts and wanted to earn money by selling paintings. However, she couldn't even afford a piece of paper, so she decided to dress as a caretaker and take money from the merit box.
Wen Jingzhan didn't believe her and wanted to search her. Tong Zifu, thinking that if she was caught, she would rather fight back and expose him as a thief. They argued inside the room, while the master was outside looking for his clothes. A person who had prayed for blessings informed him that a girl claimed to be a newcomer and was asking about offering money. She had headed towards his cloth shop. Wen Jingzhan and Tong Zifu heard that someone was coming to catch them, so they escaped through the window.
Wen Jingzhan went to a shop to buy painting paper for her, and as soon as the shop owner saw her, he immediately changed his attitude and flattered her. Wen Jingzhan bought a lot of paper and stationery for her and specifically instructed Ming Yang to deliver it to her room. Ming Yang looked at all the stationery and wondered why they were purchased when no one wanted them even for five taels of silver. Wen Jingzhan then realized he had been tricked out of a whole ingot of silver by the shop owner. There was a gang of bandits targeting artists, and the imperial court had posted a reward for anyone providing clues.
