Chapter 143 Foolish Moves
Xiao Jiuyuan looked at Yun Qianyu as she concentrated on bidding with Lu Waner, “Fifty-five thousand Liang silver.”
Yun Qianyu shouted her bid and shocked the entire auction house with the price.
The crowd thought the two of them were crazy. They could understand why Yun Qianyu was so desperate, after all, the woman’s face was destroyed. However, why did Lu Waner want to bid for it so badly?
Lu Waner raised the price again, “Sixty thousand Liang silver.”
Hearing that, Yun Qianyu shrugged her shoulders and said to Lu Waner, “Ah, Miss Lu, you are definitely richer. With sixty thousand Liang silver, the elixir pill belongs to you.”
Lu Waner, on the other side, couldn’t help laughing. ‘Hmph, trying to outbid me? Of course I’ll be able to complete the tasks Xuan Prince gave me. His Highness will surely return the favor at a later date.’
With three strikes of the hammer, the auctioneer concluded the deal. With sixty thousand Liang silver, the Face-lift pill belonged to Lu Waner.
But then the auctioneer started to auction another thing, which caused the whole auction house to be dumbfounded.
“The Skin Regeneration pill. This pill can regenerate skin and beautify the person’s complexion. No matter what kind of wound or scar you have, as long as you take this pill, you can remove the scar and instantly beautify your skin.”
After the auctioneer said that, everyone on the first floor thought, ‘Was this pill prepared for Yun Qianyu today? Why else would two beautifying elixir pills come one after the other? Compared with the Face-lift pill, the Skin Regenerative pill seems to be more suitable for Yun Qianyu.’
On the stage, the auctioneer shouted the base price, “Fifteen thousand Liang silver starting price!”
On the ground floor, no one dared to bid for the item. They all believed that this item was definitely Yun Qianyu’s.
But what about Lu Waner?
Yun Qianyu quickly shouted, “Twenty thousand Liang silver!”
All of the people subconsciously looked up at the private room where Lu Waner was staying. Sure enough, Lu Waner’s voice was heard, “Twenty five thousand Liang silver.”
Lu Waner glared at Yun Qianyu and thought, ‘You want to become beautiful? Dream on!’
Lu Waner’s courage to compete with Yun Qianyu impressed the people on the ground floor.
Feeling a little impatient, Yun Qianyu directly raised the bidding price several levels higher, “Forty thousand Liang!”
People in the ground floor gasped and began a heated discussion over the issue. Most of the people believed that Yun Qianyu was really desperate for the elixir pill, that was why she would drastically raise the bidding price. No one knew that Yun Qianyu was actually just impatient and didn’t want to drag on the game she was playing.
On the other side, Lu Waner had an ugly look on her face. To be honest, she felt displeased about the fact that she had wasted so much money on two beautifying elixir pills. However, since the Xuan Prince had ordered her to bid for the items no matter the price, Lu Waner could only continue to keep bidding.
Yan Jinghong, the eldest son of Yan Bei royal family, looked at his cousin with disapproval. He thought that his cousin had always done things in a proper manner. But this time, his cousin was obviously going out of his way to deal with Yun Qianyu. Originally the Lu family had been working for the Xuan Prince secretly. Now with this bidding competition, he had exposed this secret alliance.
“Cousin, just forget it.”
With an ugly expression on his face, Xiao Tianyi had also realized that he was a fool. In order to fight with Yun Qianyu, he had inadvertently revealed his secret relationship with the Lu family.
In fact, the minister of personnel was from the Lu family. As a result, Xiao Tianyi had always had an easier time installing his men inside the palace. Now that their secret relationship had been exposed, many in the palace would definitely question and hinder their plans. Worse yet, the Lu family may even be booted from their posts.
