Chapter 1215 - Preposterous
Chapter 1215: Preposterous
The purple-clothed lady curtsied with impeccable movements.
In any case, every injustice had its perpetrator and every debt its debtor. Since the person they wanted to find was Beijing Manor’s young master, they didn’t bother making things difficult for a frail woman.
Duan Yue merely glanced at her before retracting his gaze and walking downstairs with Situ Yi and the others.
Yi’an had originally wanted to speak with Mo Lian, but when she saw that he didn’t even look her way, she could only stand resentfully to the side. She even had to watch as the crown prince walked past her while holding his wifey’s hand.
Suddenly, her expression changed dramatically, as if she had thought of something. “Wait!”
“Wait.” When Commandery Princess Yi’an saw that no one in the crown prince’s group paid her any attention, she quickly ran up and questioned, “Crown Prince Consort, jus-just now, was it you? Were you the one bidding!!”
Just now, she had clearly watched the crown prince consort and them walk out of Room Eight!
F*ck, the crown prince consort was the girl who had screwed her over!
The young crown prince consort turned around to look at Yi’an in bafflement.
“What are you saying.”
Stop pretending! Yi’an’s lungs were about to burst from anger. How could there be such a trickster in this world?
“If the crown prince consort said that you wanted to win the prolongation pill, I would not have dared to bid against you.”
“But since you did not say that, how would I have known…”
Qiao Mu stuck out a small hand to stop her jabber. “Oh, you were the one who wanted to win the prolongation pill. No wonder your voice sounded quite familiar.”
Yi’an: …
Was I f*cking suffering from 18 lifetimes of bloody misfortune?
It couldn’t be that this loony crown prince consort started bidding against her because she found her voice familiar?
Meanwhile, Mo Lian smiled as he led his young crown prince consort downstairs.
They did not gather in the auction room but headed toward the tightly shut main door instead.
The House of Treasures guards that came down the stairs with them hastily stopped them, stating solemnly, “Guests, you cannot leave right now. The senior manager is searching for that thief that stole from our House of Treasures, so…”
“Preposterous!” Huifeng stepped up and hollered, “With His Highness’s status, can he fancy the junk in your House of Treasures? Get out of the way! Be careful that my blade has no eyes.”
Crown Prince Mo stood to the side while holding his young crown prince consort’s hand, both of them posing expressions of indifference.
They just gazed nonchalantly at the House of Treasures’ guards like this.
In reality, this expression was really quite useful. When you don’t want to reveal your inner thoughts so you try to act unfathomable like a pretentious prick, just use a nonchalant smile as your cover.
Situ Yi couldn’t stand it any longer and silently lowered his head while twitching his mouth.
You don’t say, the crown prince had just accompanied his little wife to sweep away everything in the storeroom! This wasn’t preposterous at all!
Commandery Princess Yi’an pulled along her maidservant to follow after the crown prince’s group.
She didn’t want to stay here for even a minute longer.
“Everything is fine, Miss Xueyin.” The purple-clothed lady consoled her, “It is only a small problem, so we will be able to leave soon.”
Commandery Princess Yi’an smiled at her. “Miss Xin, do not worry. I will soon come to pay you back the 20 thousand mystic currency.”
“Miss Xueyin, you and I are friends, so this is merely a trivial matter.” The purple-clothed lady lamented with a smile, “In the past, ten pieces of fine high-grade magnetite could buy half a city. Yet with how prices are skyrocketing nowadays, sigh… it is not even enough to purchase 30 days of food. Not to mention such a precious prolongation pill.”
