Chapter 28 Imperial Concubine Jin'an (XIV)



Therefore, when she opened her eyes again, she felt slightly dizzy, and then her vision gradually cleared. She could hear loud noises, laughter from men and women, and thick smoke.

Before her stood a young and beautiful woman, about twenty-four or twenty-five years old, with exquisite makeup on her face. Her eyes, whether it was Shen Wangshu's illusion or not, were so clear and bright that they were mesmerizing.

Beside the woman stood a handsome, tall young man, dressed in a silver-gray suit. His slender, elegant figure reflected the faint melancholy in his eyes, making him appear like a prince straight out of a fairy tale. He stood beside the woman, his gaze towards Shen Wangshu carrying a hint of disapproval and a strange sense of guilt.

"Miss Shen, it's time to make a bid." The woman arrogantly raised her chin, her eyes showing a hint of disdain as she looked at Shen Wangshu.

"What?!" The woman hadn't expected Shen Wangshu to stop competing with her out of spite. She had intended to make her suffer a great loss, but the outcome was not as she had hoped. She shrieked, "Why?! Wasn't it for Young Master Ouyang..." She subconsciously looked at the handsome young man whose expression had also turned somewhat unpleasant.
