Chapter 137 - Xuantian Auction House
As Xiao Tianyi looked at the group walking away, Yun Qianxue, who was not far away, had an ugly expression on her face. She clenched her hands and thought, ‘Why does everyone seem to be attracted to Yun Qianyu?
Even Xiao Jiuyuan is like this. Not only can he tolerate that woman standing by his side, but he also speaks frankly with her.
His Highness seems to be paying more and more attention to that scum, Yun Qianyu.
No, this is not a good sign! Also, what’s that woman doing here today anyway?’
Yun Qianxue gave it a quick thought and figured it must be because of Yun Qianyu’s face. Immediately her expressions changed. ‘Could it be that she came to Xuantian Auction House to buy an elixir for her face? If they sold pills like the Beautifying pill, then that woman’s face would recover.
She’s already attracting so much attention now, if her face recovered…’
Yun Quanxue had goosebumps when she thought about this. Other people might not know this, but Yun Qianxue knew that Yun Qianyu, that little bitch, was actually beautiful.
In the past, Yun Qianyu was too cowardly and she seldom held her head up. That was why no one noticed her beauty. However, now that her personality had changed, if she had a beautiful face, she would be even more attractive.
Yun Qianxue’s face turned pale and she felt determined to not let Yun Qianyu acquire a Beautifying pill.
Out of nowhere, Yun Qianxue began to sob.
Hearing this, Xiao Tianyi came to his senses and quickly turned around to look at her. He saw that Yun Qianxue looked at him with sadness etched on her face. She said nothing but only stared at him with her teary eyes. She looked really pitiful.
Xiao Tianyi immediately felt very guilty.
‘How could I pay more attention to Yun Qianyu and forget about Xue’er? She’s the one that has been suffering a lot these days.’
Xiao Tianyi swiftly went over, held Yun Qianxue’s hand, and said softly, “Xue’er, let’s go. I will help you restore your reputation.”
“Thank you, brother Tianyi.”
The two entered the auction house while chatting pleasantly with each other.
From behind, Yan Qingfeng could not help but complain, “This woman can really put on an act. How can Cousin not see it?”
As soon as Yan Qingfeng said that, Yan Jinghong glared at her and warned, “Feng’er, be polite to the Yun second young miss. If Cousin really marries her, she will be related to us.”
Before Yan Jinghong finished, Yan Qingfeng angrily shook his hand off and said, “Whatever, I hope that never happens.”
The Xuantian Auction House was a large building with two floors. The ground floor was a massive space with an elevated semicircular white jade platform at the far end opposite the entryway. This was where the auctioneer who presided over the auction introduced the different goods that were being auctioned.
There were many seats for the guests in the public area on the ground floor. Between every two chairs, there would be a small square tea table for the guests. The auction house provided tea, cakes, and other snacks which the guests of course had to pay for.
In general, the guests would often order drinks and food. The people who came to take part in the auction were not poor, since poor people wouldn’t even be able to get in.
In addition to the public area on the ground floor, there were also private rooms on the second floor. The private rooms were positioned around the stage in a semicircle. Except for the storeroom where goods were kept, the rest were elegant rooms providing the bidders comfort and an excellent view of the stage.
However, it was nearly impossible to get a private room on the day of the auction. All the rooms were booked well in advance of the auction, while some would be reserved by the regulars.
