Chapter 69 The House Was Robbed
Shan Yurou's heart trembled. She never expected that the opportunity to make a contribution would be ruined by Shan Yurou.
But Shanrou was, after all, her adoptive mother, and she still needed Shanrou to establish herself in the Shan family, so she dared not offend Shanrou at all.
On one side is the future Crown Princess, and on the other is her current situation. Shan Yurou feels like she's caught between two sides. No matter what she does, she'll offend people!
Perhaps, she was wrong from the very beginning!
She should never have agreed to the Crown Prince's proposal in the first place!
"If the Alchemist Guild has any needs, our Southern Dynasty will do its utmost to support it." The Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty said sincerely and earnestly.
"Tch, empty talk, anyone can do that," Lulu said with a disdainful look, glancing sideways at the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty.
She was just trying to scare Shanrou. If it were to actually cooperate with the Southern Dynasty, the president would have to give his approval first.
"No, this is not just empty talk, but a permanent commitment! As long as you have a need, and our Southern Dynasty happens to possess it, we will definitely provide full support." The Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty bowed respectfully, his attitude extremely humble.
Although he didn't know exactly what the Alchemist Guild needed, he was certain that if the Alchemist Guild was willing, not only him, but even his father would give it his full support.
"Okay, I'll go back and tell the president." Lulu said, then turned and left.
She had only taken a couple of steps when Shan Yurou quickly stepped forward and gently called out, "Miss Lulu, please wait."
"The Alchemist Guild has already made an agreement with our Shan family, how can we give up halfway?"
"There are still many guests eagerly waiting for your pills to be auctioned off."
When Shan Yurou stopped him, the Crown Prince quickly stepped forward and gently advised, "Miss Lulu, if you have any issues with the Shan family, you can simply choose another auction house. There's no need to go to such lengths and move the place, is there?"
The Crown Prince had tried his best to be tactful and subtle, but who couldn't tell that he was reminding Lulu not to go to the Southern Dynasty?
"Change auction houses? It's not like I can just change auction houses whenever I want. I have to ask the guild leader for permission first," Lulu said with a helpless tone.
She didn't agree to the Southern Dynasty's Crown Prince's request. If the president blames her later, please don't blame her!
"Alright, alright, please ask him properly; of course, it would be even better if you didn't have to ask him, after all, it's better to avoid trouble, don't you think?" The Crown Prince bowed and smiled obsequiously, his attitude extremely humble.
Lulu could easily see through the implication in his words. She rolled her eyes coldly and said indifferently, "We'll see. After all, Shanjia has really upset me!"
This Shanrou is absolutely bizarre!
Especially Shanrou, who is self-righteous and arrogant. It seems that she has all the bad flaws!
"What, is the Alchemist Guild so precious? They just leave like that, not taking our Shan family seriously at all?" Shan Rou crossed her arms, her face full of disdain, her eyes revealing obvious provocation and resentment.
Lulu frowned, a hint of anger flashing in her eyes. She was about to retort when the Crown Prince spoke first: "Miss Lulu, please don't be angry. Madam Shan just spoke without thinking. I hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against her."
As he spoke, the Crown Prince glared at Shan Rou again and scolded her in a low voice, "Hurry up and apologize to Miss Lulu!"
Shanrou: "???"
Shanrou looked completely bewildered. She had assumed her future son-in-law would come to her rescue, but to her surprise, he went to help that bitch Lulu.
Sure enough, this Lulu, relying on her good looks, didn't take anyone seriously!
She's so shameless, always seducing men!
Seeing that Shan Rou had no reaction, the Crown Prince glared fiercely at Shan Mingyuan and Old Master Shan!
If the Emperor knew that the Alchemist Guild had been cooperating well with the Dynasty, but was suddenly poached by the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty, he would surely kill him.
Forget about the position of Crown Prince or Heir Apparent!
Upon receiving the Crown Prince's signal, Shan Mingyuan quickly stepped forward, pulled Shan Rou aside, and whispered, "Stop fooling around, or the Crown Prince will get angry and blame you, which will implicate Yu Rou."
Shanrou was filled with resentment, but when she thought of Shanyurou, she felt a pang of compassion.
With Yu Rou's engagement imminent and her soon to become the Crown Princess, she couldn't afford to ruin Yu Rou's important plans.
Nevertheless, Shanrou couldn't help but mutter to herself with her head down, "I didn't say anything wrong."
After being coaxed and persuaded by the Crown Prince and Shan Mingyuan, Shan Rou finally reluctantly raised her head and managed to squeeze out a "Sorry!" at Lulu.
Shameless slut!
He actually used his status as an alchemist guild to force her to apologize; he has absolutely no bottom line!
Upon hearing the apology, Lulu merely glanced coldly at Shanrou, her eyes filled with contempt and disdain, and said coldly, "Just because you say sorry, does that mean I have to forgive you? I don't accept it!"
"Your philanthropic threshold is far too high; our Alchemist Guild cannot afford it."
"Starting tomorrow, our Alchemist Guild will no longer supply medicine to your Shan Family Auction House!" After saying that, Lulu ruthlessly pushed aside Shan Yuru, who was blocking her way, and strode towards the backyard with firm steps.
Seeing this, Shan Yurou became as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, and her eyes even reddened slightly.
She quickly turned to look at Shanxi, both angry and anxious, her voice trembling slightly: "Shanxi, what are you standing there for? Hurry up and come over to help persuade her!"
She knew very well that if the Alchemist Guild really stopped cooperating with the Shan family, the first one to suffer would definitely be Shan Xi!
Since she's now the head of the Shan family, she can't shirk this responsibility.
Upon hearing this, Shanxi remained calm and composed, slowly standing up with a steady and resolute expression: "I respect her decision."
If Shanrou treats Lulu like this, and Lulu still supports the Shan family, then that would be going too far and showing a complete disregard for Lulu.
Besides, would her Alchemist Guild be so shameless? Shan Rou has already humiliated her so much, and she's still eager to cooperate?
Seeing that neither Shanxi nor Lulu would listen to reason or threats, Shan Yurou panicked completely.
Her eyes quickly reddened, and tears welled up in them. She looked so wronged, as if she had been bullied by Shanxi.
"Why are you crying? I didn't bully you." Shanxi gave Shan Yurou a cold look, afraid that she would try to extort money from him, and quickly got up and left.
Seeing this, Old Master Shan quickly followed.
Shan Yurou stood there, looking pitiful.
Tears streamed down her cheeks as she looked at the Crown Prince through teary eyes, her gaze filled with expectation and pleading.
Normally, the Crown Prince would have been heartbroken and would have tried all sorts of ways to coax her, but now, all that remained in his eyes was indifference and disgust!
