Chapter 141 Bidding
Xiao Yechen figured Yun Qianyu must have been angered by his ninth imperial uncle’s words. After all, no woman would like to be mocked for being ugly.
Xiao Yechen wanted to comfort Yun Qianyu, but when he saw Xiao Jiuyuan’s eyes staring at him, he dared not do anything.
Immediately after Yun Qianyu put in her bid, the crowd below fell silent. The people that were previously bidding for the item did not dare to bid against Yun Qianyu.
The crowd still clearly remembered how Xiao Jiuyuan had defended Yun Qianyu. ‘If we bid against Yun Qianyu, wouldn’t it annoy Xiao Jiuyuan?’
For a moment, the entire auction house was dead silent. Everyone only looked at the private rooms on the second floor.
Yun Qianyu looked out the window of the room with a faint smile on her face. She didn’t believe that no one would bid against her.
In fact, Yun Qianyu guessed right. In another private room on the second floor, a fierce discussion had broken out.
Xiao Tianyi, the Xuan Prince, had asked Yan Qingfeng, the princess of the Yan Bei royal family, to bid against Yun Qianyu. Unfortunately, Yan Qingfeng had no intention to do so.
“Cousin, is this the plan of that woman again? Why should I have my reputation tarnished?”
Yun Qianyu’s face was ruined, whilst princess Yan Qingfeng was perfectly fine. If she competed with Yun Qianyu to bid for the Face-lift pill, she would definitely become a target of criticism. Yan Qingfeng was not naive enough to do that. Moreover, Yan Qingfeng had figured that this was definitely Yun Qianxue’s plan. ‘That bit*h, why would I do her bidding.’
Xiao Tianyi’s face darkened. He looked at Yan Qingfeng and said with a stern tone, “I want to teach that woman a lesson. She not only destroyed Xue’er’s reputation but also poisoned this Prince. How can I spare her? If she wants the elixir pill, she must apologize to Xue’er and this Prince. If she apologizes, I will give her the elixir pill.”
After hearing that, Yun Qianxue’s eyes were filled with pleasure and she had a faint sneer on her lips. ‘I’ll never give Yun Qianyu that elixir pill even if she apologizes. However, if I know how Yun Qianyu is, she’ll never apologize! That’s why she’ll never get the elixir pill to heal her face!’
Yan Jinghong, the prince of Yan Bei royal family, also disagreed with Xiao Tianyi. After all, there was absolutely no upside for them. He also believed that his cousin was too obedient toward Yun Qianxue, which was not a good thing.
“Cousin, I think it’s better to just let it go. Yun Qianyu has the title Li princess consort. It’s definitely not a good thing for us to bid against her.”
Seeing that Xiao Tianyi was hesitating, Yun Qianxue immediately said in a warm voice, “Forget it, brother Tianyi, don’t try to teach her a lesson anymore. After all, she only bullied me and poisoned you. We can’t go after her because she has strong backing, the backing of Li Prince.”
Yun Qianxue’s words immediately added fuel to the fire; anger overwhelmed Xiao Tianyi’s heart. ‘Indeed, Xiao Jiuyuan is more powerful, but am I below him? He is only the emperor’s younger brother, but I am the emperor’s son. Why should I fear him? What’s more, this is an open auction and anyone can bid for the item!’
Immediately, Xiao Tianyi called Lan Yi over and gave Lan Yi some orders.
Lan Yi turned around and went to do as ordered. In the private room, Yan Jinghong and Yan Qingfeng were both speechless. The two of them glared at Yun Qianxue.
On the auction floor below, the auctioneer had begun to tap with the hammer, “Since no one is bidding anymore, then this Face-lift pill will go to Miss Yun of the…”
Before the auctioneer could finish his words and conclude the deal, a lovely voice came from the second floor.
“Twenty thousand Liang silver!”
