Shiqi's uneasy look was in sharp contrast to Lin Qingge's calm composure.
Lin Qiuyue started to put on the eye drops: "Is my sister jealous that my eldest cousin bought it for me? But it's really ridiculous to bid randomly like this. It raises the price for nothing and makes people laugh at us. In the end, she still has to I beg my eldest cousin to give me some money."
"I don't know whether to live or die. She wants to be kicked out of the Chu family, so just let her go." An Heng gave up the bidding with obvious anger on his body.
Shi Qi swallowed and spoke uneasily: "Young Madam, it is said that the last person who succeeded in bidding in Wangyou Pavilion but couldn't get the money out had grass on his grave higher than mine!"
"That means that person has no usable value at all. Your young lady and I are different. I can count, have both medical and physiognomy skills, a rare talent~"
Lin Qingge was still bragging about himself when a strange voice said: "Increase the price by 40,000 taels of silver."
A flash of astonishment flashed in her confident eyes. She followed everyone to the box on the second floor facing the hall. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the surprise in Seventeen's eyes, but ignored them.
Because the whole hall started a heated discussion.
"Isn't that a box that only the Su family, the master of Wangyou Pavilion, can enter?"
"Who says it's not the case, but isn't this auction organized by the Su family? How can there be any reason to auction your own things?"
"The key point is that even if the Dragon Tooth Orchid is magical, thirty thousand taels is already as high as the sky. How come there are still 40,000 taels?"
There was a lot of discussion around him, but Lin Qingge just stared at the box with squinted eyes.
A huge screen made it dim inside, and only two sitting figures could be vaguely seen.
One of them said he was sitting, but he was actually half-lying on his side, looking very wild and unruly.
But what really caught Lin Qingge's attention was the man sitting next to him.
The outline is blurry, but the sitting posture is straight and upright, and it even feels vaguely familiar.
The thought flashed through her mind for a moment and was ignored by her.
She has only been here for a long time, how could there be someone she feels familiar with?
Lin Qingge suddenly stood up and was so frightened that Shi Qi was stunned: "Young Madam, what are you going to do?"
"There is no precedent for not getting what I want." She narrowed her eyes.
Just like at the beginning, everyone said that she could not become the leader of the sect, but what was the result? Didn't those arrogant tribesmen all kneel in front of her and call her the head of the family?
Shiqi didn’t know Lin Qingge, but knew the details of Wangyou Pavilion very well: “Young madam, the owner of Wangyou Pavilion, Su Yunting, is known as Su Jiuye because of his family background. Although he is a commoner, he is as rich as the enemy. Even if he is a commoner, he is rich. Your Majesty will give him three points of courtesy, and no one in the imperial court dares to challenge him."
The wealth is as great as that of a country. Let alone Chu Nanfeng who is unconscious, even if he is awake, the Chu family may not be able to survive.
"There's no hope?" She raised her eyes and looked at the box, her eyebrows arrogant.
Qi Qi could have tensed up his muscles, but he heard Lin Qingge's playful voice: "I don't believe it."
After saying that, she left the box where she was and walked straight towards the box where Su Yunting was.
When everyone saw her behavior, their eyes looked like they were watching a show.
"What does sister want to do? She doesn't want to fight with Master Jiu, right? Cousin, I heard that Master Jiu kills people without blinking an eye. You should quickly find a way to save sister!" Lin Qiuyue pulled An Heng's sleeves anxiously, thinking in her heart But he expected Lin Qingge to be in bad luck!
An Heng's expression turned extremely ugly.
Not to mention the Su family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, even the countries in the Western Regions, Nanzhao and Baiyue are proper guests.
Even he would not dare to provoke such a person easily.
Not to mention, the An family recently wanted to ship a batch of goods to the Western Regions, and the Su family had to give their nod.
If Lin Qingge was still the same as before, An Heng would be willing to protect her, but now he would not offend the God of Wealth for a fool.
"Let her suffer more outside, and you will know whether we are treating her well or not."
After saying that, An Heng took Lin Qiuyue and left.
Lin Qingge crossed the screen and clasped his fists in a very arrogant manner: "Master Jiu, I'm Lin Qingge, the bride of the Chu family. May I ask that Master Jiu is holding an auction today, isn't it just for selfies and self-purchases?"
"of course not."
Su Yunting walked out from behind the screen, which surprised Lin Qingge. It was not that this person was ugly.
In fact, he is more than eight feet tall, extremely handsome, and coupled with a casual temperament, he is very eye-catching.
But Lin Qingge didn't expect that the head of the Su family, who was extremely wealthy, was actually a young man in his twenties. The key was that his phoenix eyes revealed a bit of evil, which made her feel wary of this person.
"Since it's not the case, then please tell Master Jiu why he suddenly changed his mind."
Dare to talk to Su Yunting like this, which made everyone around Lin Qingge sweat.
Shi Qi walked quickly to Lin Qingge's side, but kept glancing at the person sitting behind the screen.
An Heng noticed his gaze and blocked it with his body with a smile: "Everyone has seen that I have a friend sitting inside, and this Dragon Tooth Orchid belongs to him. The reason why he wants to auction it is because he feels that the medicinal materials should be given to good use. I’m afraid it’s not appropriate to hand this person over to the Young Madam, right?”
The cheerful voice and polite tone, coupled with those narrow eyes, give people the feeling that it is difficult to speak.
Lin Qingge's mind was spinning very quickly, and he followed his words: "Since Master Jiu has stated that the medicinal materials are to be given to those in need, then I am the most suitable person."
"Everyone knows that my husband-in-law is in bed and recuperating. I took this photo of the Dragon Tooth Orchid just for him!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire Wangyou Pavilion became deathly quiet.
In just a second, the audience burst into laughter, followed by all kinds of jeers——
"Mrs. Chu is ugly, but she thinks she is quite beautiful."
"It's true. She actually thinks she can cure a disease that even the imperial doctors are unable to cure. Isn't she crazy because of it?"
"..."
There were countless mocking voices around, but they never caused any strangeness in Lin Qingge's eyebrows.
She looked at Su Yunting quietly, waiting for his reaction.
Their eyes met, Lin Qingge habitually looked at the other person's face, and unexpectedly found that he was faintly exuding purple energy. Who is this person?
Before she had time to explore carefully, a cry suddenly sounded from downstairs: "Master, what's wrong with you? Master! Someone is here! Go call the doctor and save our master!"
Lin Qingge looked back and saw a young gentleman lying on the ground, and a man who looked like a boy was pleading with everyone, but no one dared to come forward.
She raised her eyebrows slightly and looked back at Su Yunting: "Is this the trial arranged by Master Jiu? I, Lin Qingge, took it."
After saying this, she held the railing with her right hand, kicked off her feet, jumped out of the railing and floated down, with a neat movement.
