Chapter 188 Lovely Sister-in-law
Hearing her say this, Qiao Xue scratched her neck guiltily, "I only agreed to this marriage because he's already grown up and still hasn't married."
"Qiao Xue, it's my brother's blessing to marry such a virtuous wife like you. You must live a good life in the future. My brother has a somewhat dull personality. If he does something wrong, please don't take it too seriously with him." Yun Wansheng said with a gentle smile.
"I know what you said. Although your brother is a little quiet, he still cares for people." Qiao Xue thought about the man who bought her food and toys yesterday, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise.
Looking at her happy little face, Yun Wansheng guessed that she was thinking about her elder brother. It seemed that her worries were unnecessary.
Soon, two people appeared in the bustling street. When Yun Wansheng thought they were just strolling around, she found that Qiao Xue led her to an auction house.
"Qiao Xue, why are we here?" She didn't think the little girl had the money to buy the things inside.
"I heard that the auction house received a batch of rare treasures today. Although we can't afford them, we can still watch the fun." Qiao Xue smiled with some anticipation.
"Can anyone enter here casually?"
"Of course not, but I have a VIP door number, which I stole from my eldest brother, so we can get in."
"Qiao Xue, do you always do this?" One look at the girl's smug expression and you could tell it wasn't the first or second time she had done this.
"Well! This thing is lying around anyway, so why not use it? Besides, the items in the auction house are truly rare treasures, and just looking at them makes me excited. Let's go! It's almost time to start."
As he said this, he led her into the largest auction house in the capital, followed by two maids.
Sure enough, with the door number, they entered very smoothly. When the guy in charge of arranging seats heard that the two ladies were just there to watch, he arranged them in seats slightly in the middle and towards the back, so that they would not interfere with others' bidding and could still see the treasures on the stage.
"There are quite a lot of people!" Yun Wansheng sat in the back and glanced at the guests in the front who were almost full. She found that there were quite a few women. It seemed that in the capital, the regulations on women going out were not so strict.
"A large auction is held here once a month, and every time it happens, various forces come to bid for the property."
“How many items has your family bought?”
"My family is not as wealthy as those people. This address was given to my brother by the Prince Regent when he came here twice." Qiao Xue seemed to disdain her brother.
Upon hearing this, Yun Wansheng did not ask any more questions. Why had she only been there for two or three days, but that bastard's person and things were flashing before her eyes everywhere, making it impossible for her to forget him even if she wanted to.
Just as she was feeling sad, she suddenly saw several men in fancy clothes walking in the corridor in front of her. Leading them was the man she had just thought of.
There were only four of them, followed by a few guards. They went straight to the second floor without looking around, completely ignoring the ordinary guests downstairs.
As soon as they appeared, they immediately caused a small sensation. The guests in front bowed and saluted, and the girls present whispered to each other. Such reactions demonstrated the power and status of those people.
"I didn't expect that the four friends from the capital are here too. Wansheng, our trip today was not in vain." Qiao Xue said with surprise.
"What's so good about these old men?" Yun Wansheng looked away with disdain.
"Huh! Old man? But your eldest brother is about the same age as them. Is my fiancé also an old man in your eyes?" Qiao Xue glared at her pretending to be angry.
"Well...that's different. My brother looks much younger than them. He doesn't look old at all when standing next to you." Yun Wansheng smiled awkwardly.
"You mean I look old?" Qiao Xue challenged her.
Yun Wansheng then realized that the more she spoke, the more wrong she was, and that people had misunderstood her. "Qiao Xue, that's not what I meant. I meant that you and my brother are a good match, regardless of age. Don't think too much about it."
"Tsk! It's too late to say it has nothing to do with age. I'm angry." Qiao Xue seemed really angry and turned away without looking at her.
Yun Wansheng looked at the little girl throwing a tantrum and couldn't help but tug at her with amusement: "Isn't it enough to say sorry? I said the wrong thing."
"You're still smiling. You're not sincere. I won't forgive you!" Qiao Xue continued to refuse to look at her.
"What does it mean to be sincere?" Yun Wansheng patted her little shoulder.
Qiao Xue rolled her eyes and said, "If you want me to forgive you, then when the auction starts later, if I see something I like, you can bid for it. Don't worry, I'm just bidding for fun, I'm not going to buy it. It's very expensive, you can't afford it."
Yun Wansheng heard this and thought for a moment, then said: "Okay." It just so happened that she also wanted to buy her a wedding gift, so if there really was a treasure at the right price, she would just buy it.
Just as she was thinking about it, she suddenly saw two women walking towards their row under the guidance of a waiter. Yun Wansheng saw the young woman in front of her clearly and her eyes turned cold, because she knew the person who came. It was the Miss Tai Shi Lin Yao.
Seeing that the guy arranged the two of them next to him, she felt even more disgusted. She thought about moving, but when she looked around, there was no empty seat.
At this time, Lin Yao and the sister who came with her also sat down. She glanced to the side inadvertently and saw the woman whom she hated and envied the most.
"Yun Wansheng! Why are you here too?" Her tone unconsciously rose, as if she was the only one who could come here.
"Miss Lin, what are you talking about? Why can't I come here?" Yun Wansheng sneered.
"This is a place only the rich and powerful can come to. Who do you think you are to show up here?"
"Miss Lin, although my brother isn't as powerful as your family, he's also a general who eats the emperor's food. I think it's okay for him to come here and take a look, right?"
Hearing this, Lin Yao finally remembered the elder brother she had mentioned. After returning home yesterday, she sent someone to the Shangguan Mansion to secretly inquire about the matter. It turned out that this woman was indeed the long-lost sister of the General of Chariots and Cavalry.
The thought that this bitch could turn from a chicken into a phoenix made her secretly angry, and she could no longer beat and scold people as blatantly as usual.
"It's really different now that you have someone to back you up. You're much more confident and assertive when you speak now than before." Lin Yao said sarcastically.
"Indeed! Today I also understand why Miss Lin is so arrogant. It turns out that it's different when you have someone to rely on behind you." Yun Wansheng retorted sarcastically.
When Lin Yao heard this, she understood that she was saying that she was just bullying others by taking advantage of her power back then, and now that she has turned the tables, there is nothing wrong with that.
Just as she was about to curse angrily, the woman next to her pulled her back and said, "Cousin, stop talking. Everyone is looking at us! Don't make a fool of yourself."
Lin Yao then realized that the people around them were looking at them with different expressions, which made her dare not act so domineeringly anymore. She could only swallow her anger and change seats with her cousin to show that she disliked this woman.
Seeing her like this, Yun Wansheng followed suit and switched places with Qiao Xue, telling her that you hate me and I despise you even more.
