Previously, Rujing was always the one to handle things like buying things at auctions.

Now that she's handed over her gold card, she doesn't know if that guy was lying to her.

Upon seeing the gold card, the gray-robed elder's pupils constricted, further confirming his suspicions. He immediately bowed and said respectfully, "Please follow me!"

Jiang Yuetong raised her pretty eyebrows. It seemed that Lu Shi'an hadn't lied to her. This gold card must have cost quite a bit of money, right?

Seeing the auction house manager personally leading the way for her, Xu Wuqiao's eyes widened, and she said angrily, "He's just an auction house manager, how dare he not put this princess in his eyes? When we get back, I'll have my father shut down this auction house!"

As soon as she said this, countless eyes fell on her, as if they were looking at a fool.

Most people present knew that the owner of the Wutian First Auction House was very mysterious and had been the target of many schemes by others over the years, both openly and secretly.

Yet it has managed to establish itself in the Wu Tian Empire for nearly thirty years, so the power behind it must be considerable.

How could she possibly seal it off with just a word?

Ignorance is bliss. If it weren't for the fact that she was a princess, and the auction house staff had to give the old emperor some face, she would have been kicked out long ago.

The steward paused, then snorted coldly without turning his head: "Someone, show the guest out!"

As soon as she finished speaking, two men dressed as guards came over and blocked her way. Xu Wuqiao saw this and stared at Jiang Yuetong's back with a vicious look.

I was so angry I could grind my teeth to powder.

She was clearly the princess, high above all others. Yet this lowly slave always acted as if she were fearless. What did she have besides her decent looks?

Yet, it was this lowly status of slave that made her situation so unbearable time and time again. She was the emperor's most beloved princess; when had she ever been treated like this?

As they walked upstairs, Xu Wuqiao spotted a familiar figure, and her eyes flickered slightly.

It's Li Qingrong, the useless eldest daughter of the Marquis's mansion!

Xu Wuqiao seemed to have thought of something, a vicious smile curling at the corner of her lips. She turned and left with the guards who had just regained their breathing, cursing them before she left: "Useless!"

Jiang Yuetong glanced at her from around the corner, naturally not missing the scheming in her eyes.

Her eyes lowered slightly, and she used her fingertips to send a message to Qingfeng via a talisman, instructing him to ambush and kill Xu Wuqiao as she returned to the palace.

Although she wasn't afraid of that princess, if anyone wanted to cause her trouble, she would nip it in the bud, even though Xu Wuqiao had died at the hands of the female lead in her previous life.

Since so many plot points have already been changed, one more won't make a difference. Even if we anger the administrator in the book, he'll just come over and fight us at most.

Thinking about this, Jiang Yuetong realized that the manager in the book seemed to have disappeared for some time.

Jiang Yuetong didn't think much of it and quickly pulled herself together, following the auction house manager to the fourth floor.

The steward pushed open the door, bowed respectfully, and said, "Please!"

As soon as Jiang Yuetong and her companions walked in and sat down, the manager immediately had several plates of fruit and snacks brought in, looking at Jiang Yuetong with a smile.

"If there is anything your esteemed guest desires, you may let us know in advance, and we will not auction that item."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuetong turned to look at the manager. Even if she had a gold card and was a VIP at the auction house, there was no need for her to be so attentive.

The manager still looked at her with a smile, a hint of admiration in his eyes.

He couldn't help but rub his hands together, opening his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything until he left.
