"Father!" Jun Luoyun exclaimed, "Why did you buy this useless fake? Do you believe in the existence of treasure?"

The King of the City shook his head, his eyes fixed on the parchment map on the tray: "What treasure? King, I don't care." What he really cared about was the people related to this map.

His eyes fell on the room on the second floor.

The voice belonged to that little brother, and the City King's eyes darkened slightly.

They look similar and now she is interested in this map. What is her relationship with Jiaer?

Shang Ruoyi frowned slightly. Was she, as a father, venting her anger for his adopted daughter?

She thought so, and Jun Luoyun thought so even more.

The father must have wanted to seek justice for her because he had just been embarrassed by that person.

"Father, you don't have to do this." Jun Luoyun thought she was understanding and said, "My daughter doesn't feel wronged. I was just bullied by that blind man. I guess that man doesn't look down on our palace. He just thinks that my daughter is not your biological daughter, but an adopted daughter, so he looks down on her."

"Yeah." The City King nodded casually, not listening to what she just said.

Hearing his response, Jun Luoyun became even more confident.

My father is really venting his anger for me!

Jun Luoyun had a victorious smile on his face and looked at the room on the second floor with contempt.

Fighting with their City Prince's Palace is just digging your own grave.

"Twenty thousand taels," Shang Ruoyi said in a low voice.

"Fifty thousand taels."

Shang Ruoyi frowned, narrowed her eyes and looked at the fourth floor, feeling a sense of grievance for no apparent reason.

The Seventh Prince sat aside, not daring to breathe.

I just said that only a fool would bid for this map, but now not only has the ancestor next to me bid for it, but the uncle upstairs has also joined the auction.

"I say, Dr. Lingjun, you'd better not raise the price anymore. He is the King of the City, and going against my uncle will not end well."

"It is still unknown who will have a bad ending!"

"you!"

The Seventh Prince sighed: "This is the Western Region, the territory of the City King."

Shang Ruoyi looked at him calmly, "Nonsense, how could it be the City King's territory? What about you? Aren't you a prince of the Western Region? If the City King pursues it, I will just say that it was you, the Seventh Prince, who wanted it. You are your uncle after all, how can I really kill you?" After she finished speaking, she shouted to the audience, "Twenty thousand taels."

hiss!

Who is this person? How did we come into conflict with the City Prince’s Palace?

"You want to kill me!" The Seventh Prince stood up from his seat. "Who said he wouldn't really kill me? If I touch something he really cares about, he would dare to kill not only me but also my father!"

His words made Shang Ruoyi's eyes dim.

An adopted daughter is so important?

Seeing that she was unmoved, the Seventh Prince walked out quickly and went straight to the fourth floor. The guards on the fourth floor saw this and hurriedly came up to him: "Seventh Prince."

"I want to see the emperor's uncle."

"Let me go and report."

"Come in."

The voice of the City King came.

Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince hurried in. The moment he opened the door, the City King's eyes met Shang Ruoyi again.

He couldn't help but be shocked.

Why does this gaze look so familiar?

"Uncle." The Seventh Prince stepped forward cautiously and bowed, "Uncle, please forgive me. My friend is ignorant and may have offended me. Please don't hold it against me."

The city king glanced at him and asked, "What are you doing here?"

"To be honest, my uncle's birthday is coming up soon, and I want to find you a decent birthday gift. I heard there was an auction here, so I wanted to come and see if there was anything worth showing off. I didn't want to meet you here."

The City King nodded, his tone not as sharp as before: "Who is the little brother named Rujun who came with you?"

"Her mother is from the Beiling Li family, the royal merchant who raises Dongzhu."

Hearing this, Jun Luoyun sneered, "So what if he's an imperial merchant? He's just a businessman. He dares to be an enemy of the City Prince's Mansion. He must be tired of living."

The Seventh Prince ignored her and looked at his uncle cautiously.

"The girl from the Li family."

"Exactly."

"Forget it. Go back and tell her that the King is determined to get this map."

"Yes." The Seventh Prince walked back hesitantly.

Determined to get it, why does he feel that Shang Ruoyi is determined to get this map?

Sure enough, after the City King raised the price to 250,000 taels, Shang Ruoyi raised the price to 100,000 taels.

hiss!

Don’t want to die! He is really risking his life!

The Seventh Prince wished he could leave the auction house immediately to avoid being hurt by mistake when his uncle came to kill people.

"That's enough. Don't add any more." If he added any more, his head would be in danger of falling off.

Seeing her perseverance, Jun Luoyun felt a sense of relief in his heart.

If you snatch things from her, you must be prepared to sacrifice your life.

"He is a royal merchant who just relies on the money in his family and doesn't take the City Palace seriously. What's the point of keeping such a person, father?"

Upon hearing this, the City King frowned, "Luo Yun is always good-tempered. How could he say such a thing?"

"My daughter just doesn't like her behavior."

Just then, there was a commotion at the door.

Jun Luoyun's eyes lit up: "Father, it's my brother."

Jun Zegan walked slowly into the venue.

"This is the prince of the city. He is indeed a rare talent, as handsome as a jade tree in the wind."

"I think that little brother is in great danger. Now not only the City King and the Princess are here, but even the Crown Prince is here."

"Seeing how favored Princess Luoyun is, even the Prince of Liancheng has come to support her."

When Jun Luoyun heard this, a hint of pride flashed in his eyes.

So what if she's an adopted daughter?

I am the princess of the City Prince's Mansion who is truly the center of attention.

"Father, your daughter will go to greet your brother."

Shang Ruoyi stood by the window, looking down at Jun Zegan, who just happened to look up in her direction.

Jun Zegan raised the corners of his lips slightly, with a doting smile on his face.

Coincidentally, Jun Luoyun was in this direction, and she couldn't help but be flattered.

Did my brother just smile at me?

She walked quickly forward and pretended to take his arm.

"Brother."

Jun Zegan came back to his senses, his eyes fell on her face, and the smile on the corner of his lips disappeared instantly.

"What are you doing here?" His voice was not loud, but the people sitting nearby heard it clearly.

Jun Luoyun's hand stopped in mid-air, his face suddenly became ugly, and he whispered: "My father asked me to pick you up."

Jun Zegan didn't wait for her to finish, he walked past her and went straight to the stairs.

"This prince doesn't seem to like Princess Luoyun as much as the rumors say."

"But the prince clearly smiled just now!"

"That's right."

Wan Qing on the stage saw that everyone's attention was on Jun Zegan, and hurriedly said: "Dear guests, this map has been offered for 10,000 taels, is there anyone who wants more?"

The city king said coldly: "Forty thousand taels!"
