Shang Ruoyi heard Jun Luoyun's voice and raised her eyebrows slightly: "Didn't the county magistrate say that nothing can be found in this stone? Why do you want to buy it now?"

"Stop talking nonsense. Just tell me how much money you want." Jun Luoyun said coldly, "There is nothing that our City Palace cannot afford."

"Really?" Shang Ruoyi curled her lips slightly: "But, I don't want to sell it to you."

"you!"

"This is my master's jadeite. You can sell it to whoever you want. You can sell it for as much money as you want." Shang Ruoyi stopped looking at her increasingly dark face and said, "If you want to buy it, wouldn't it be better for you to open it yourself?"

Zhang Qian stood behind Jun Luoyun and whispered, "Jun, in my opinion, he doesn't take you seriously at all. You must not let her off easily for such contempt!"

"Is there any need for you to talk nonsense here?" Jun Luoyun's face became even uglier. He frowned and looked at Zhang Qian. This guy is always causing trouble. If he hadn't sold that broken stone, would there be so many problems now?

As the stone-cutting machine turned, two large pieces of jade appeared completely in front of everyone.

Such gorgeous colors make people intoxicated.

"One hundred and eighty thousand taels!"

"Two hundred thousand taels!"

"One hundred thousand taels." Just then, an old man stepped forward with a warm smile on his face and said, "Young Master, our Zhou family is willing to offer one hundred thousand taels to buy these two pieces of jade from you."

One hundred thousand taels is not a small number.

Jun Luoyun's face turned even uglier when she heard that. She simply couldn't afford 100,000 taels of silver now.

Shang Ruoyi looked at her and said with a smile, "Jun, do you want to continue to raise the price?"

Jun Luoyun clenched her fists. It was obvious that she did it on purpose. She knew clearly that she couldn't come up with so much silver, yet she still came to ask her on purpose.

"Humph, they are just two pieces of jadeite. I am not interested in them! What rare treasures does your palace have?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded seriously: "Jun is right, but the purple oriental pearl should not be in the City Prince's Mansion. I saw you were so determined to get it at the auction a few days ago, and I thought the oriental pearl would definitely fall into your hands!"

When the old things were brought up again, Jun Luoyun could only hear sarcasm.

The old man of the Zhou family bowed slightly to Shang Ruoyi and said, "Young Master, I am the head of the Zhou family, Zhou Chen. This kind of top-grade jadeite has been sought for several years by our Zhou family but has never been seen. Today, no matter how much money you offer, I will definitely bring it back."

Although these words were spoken to Shang Ruoyi, they were actually meant for Jun Luoyun to hear.

Although Jun Luoyun is a county magistrate, she is also a county magistrate in the Western Regions. This is Beiling, and the Zhou family is the largest family in Beiling. They don't take a mere adopted daughter of a city king seriously at all.

Jun Luoyun naturally heard the hidden meaning behind the words and couldn't help but tremble with anger.

This Beiling is full of vulgar people, how dare they ignore her.

Shang Ruoyi secretly looked at Zhou Chen for a few times, and she had a rough understanding of the strength of the Zhou family.

After all, if it were an ordinary family, how could a person in charge wear silk?

One hundred thousand taels was the highest price that could be offered. Zhang Qian's eyes were red and his whole body was shaking uncontrollably.

One hundred thousand taels! One hundred thousand taels!

He just sold this overwhelming wealth for seven hundred taels of silver?

no!

He must find a way to get this jade back.

"Since Manager Zhou has offered the highest price, these two jades are yours."

Manager Zhou smiled and said, "Young Master is a young talent. This kind of luck is truly a rare talent."

"Boss Zhou's compliment is just for fun, it doesn't count."

"You can't say that." Manager Zhou quickly said, "If you are not a person with great luck, you will never be able to open such a precious jade. Even if you buy the raw stone, you will lose it for various reasons."

As soon as Mr. Zhou finished speaking, he heard people snickering behind him.

"Isn't the Master Zhou talking about the young master of the Zhang family?"

"Yes, yes. It was clearly Young Master Zhang who bought the rough stone first. He was afraid that he would lose so much money after cutting it that even his own father wouldn't recognize him, so he sold it at a low price. Now, the real treasure is actually in the scrap he gave as a gift."

"It's God's will, absolutely God's will!"

"Mr. Zhang is really unlucky. He sold this overwhelming wealth to someone else for only 700 taels. I guess he will hardly have any good luck in the rest of his life."

"We should stay away from him in the future, so as not to bring bad luck to us."

The next moment, there was no one within one meter around Zhang Qian.

"You guys!" He gasped and said, "Wait for me!" After that, he turned and left.

Manager Zhou took out the banknote and handed it to Shang Ruoyi: "Young Master, please forgive me for being so rude, but may I ask your name?"

"My name is Lingjun."

"Master Lingjun, if you have time, please come to my house and have a visit."

"Thank you, Manager Zhou, for your kindness." She did not count the banknotes, but handed them to Shaoyao for safekeeping.

When Manager Zhou saw her behavior, he was even more certain that she must be from a prominent family, as she didn't even look at the 100,000 taels of silver.

At this time, an old man stepped forward and said, "I am the owner of Wanshizhai. Congratulations to Dr. Lingjun for opening such a priceless jade."

"Does the shopkeeper know me?"

"Yes, of course I recognize you. You saved the young lady of the XIAO family. Now in the capital of Beiling, all the properties of our Lin family will naturally recognize you, the genius doctor!"

It turns out that Wanshizhai belongs to the Lin family.

"Are you the miracle doctor who cured Miss Lin?" Manager Zhou's voice was much higher than before, and his tone was full of surprise.

"Exactly."

"Divine Doctor, could you please go back to the Zhou family with me?"

Seeing his anxious tone, Shang Ruoyi couldn't help but ask, "But what's the urgent matter?"

Manager Zhou looked around and whispered, "There are so many people here, could the Divine Doctor please spare me a moment to talk?"

Shang Ruoyi nodded.

Shaoyao handed the banknotes to Ah Dong. She was a little scared to have so many banknotes on her.

In the private room of Wanshizhai, Manager Zhou knelt directly in front of her and said, "Please ask the Divine Doctor Lingjun to save Master!"

With such a great gift, Shang Ruoyi hurriedly helped him up: "Master Zhou, please stand up and talk. What are you doing?"

"You can cure Miss Lin's difficult-to-treat disease. Now the life of Master Wang can only depend on you!"

"Tell me, what kind of illness does your master have?"

Manager Zhou shook his head and said, "To be honest, even if our Zhou family invited famous doctors from all over the world, they couldn't figure out what disease Master Wu has."

Shang Ruoyi raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. Is there such a strange disease?

"Well, since I have nothing to do today, I will go and take a look at your young master."

When she left Wanshizhai, she felt a resentful gaze falling behind her.
