Chapter 142: Chapter 142 Leave You Hanging
As soon as the woman uttered her bid, everyone in the auction house gasped and looked at the person who shouted the price. ‘What a brave person. She dares to bid against Yun Qianyu publicly? Is she not afraid of Li Prince’s wrath?’
It turned out the person that shouted the bid was the daughter of minister Lu, Lu Waner.
Everyone was very worried and thought, ‘The Lu family is really brave.’
Not paying attention to what others thought, Yun Qianyu continued to bid against Lu Waner.
“Twenty-five thousand Liang silver.”
“Thirty thousand.”
The two competed in bidding for the item and each time their bidding would increase the price by five thousand Liang silver.
Downstairs the people were stunned. ‘Is this necessary for one Face-lift pill?’
In Xiao Jiuyuan’s private room, Xiao Yechen had an ugly expression on his face. He clenched his hands and complained, “This bit*h is looking for trouble! I’ll deal with her.”
Xiao Jiuyuan let out a stern warning, “Calm yourself.”
Xiao Yechen did not say another word after hearing that. However, after a while, he turned to Xiao Jiuyuan and said, “Ninth imperial uncle, that woman is clearly disrespecting you. How could you bear this?”
Xiao Jiuyuan let out a faint sarcastic smile and said, “There’s no need to be so petty.”
‘Xiao Tianyi, Xiao Tianyi. I didn’t expect that you would expose your relationship with the Lu family. You’ve been played and you’re definitely inferior to a woman.’
Xiao Jiuyuan’s phoenix eyes looked at Yun Qianyu and reflected on her genius move.
On the side, Xiao Yechen still felt frustrated, “But Feather needs the Face-lift pill. If she took it maybe the scars on her face would be removed.”
Hearing how concerned Xiao Yechen was, Xiao Jiuyuan felt extremely upset. He took a look at Xiao Yechen and thought, ‘Isn’t this guy too concerned about her? Yun Qianyu is my future princess consort after all.’
“Xiao Yechen, I’ve noticed that you’ve become really free these days.”
It seemed that he needed to send him to the Dragon Scale Army for some training after all.
Upon hearing that, Xiao Yechen was startled. He immediately shut his mouth tight and dared not speak.
Seeing that Xiao Yechen had zipped it, Xiao Jiuyuan said to him reluctantly, “You actually believe that she really wants that Face-lift pill.”
‘What she’s doing now is just trying to leave Xiao Tianyi hanging high and dry with an overpriced Face-lift pill. Her real intention is to get an Essence Cleansing pill.’ Although Xiao Jiuyuan knew Yun Qianyu’s real purpose, he still had some doubts.
‘Does Yun Qianyu really not want her face to recover?’
If this question was up to Yun Qianyu, Yun Qianyu would definitely answer yes. However, the problem was spending this much silver to get an instant fix. In her opinion, this was not at all worth it.
She would rather heal her face with her own medicine even if it meant taking a long time. If she had the spare money, she would rather bid for something useful.
In the room, Yun Qianyu heard Xiao Jiuyuan’s words. ‘How could this guy figure out my intentions again? Are you really a mind reader or something? How do you know what I’m thinking about?’
However, Xiao Yechen was still puzzled, “Ninth imperial uncle, what do you mean by this? If Feather doesn’t want the elixir pill, then why is she bidding for it?”
Feeling too lazy to speak to a fool, Xiao Jiuyuan did not bother to answer Xiao Yechen’s question.
He looked toward Yun Qianyu and thought, ‘Although this woman has scars on her face, she does not act pitiful. She seems calm and indifferent towards it. If she was an ordinary woman, she would have become sad and desperate. Therefore, this woman is truly something else.’
