Chapter 530: On-site Pot-Throwing

Although the rules were stated in advance, they were only for the distinguished guests present. The only two people present who might allow behind-the-scenes manipulation were the Queen Mother and the Emperor.

But Si Linglong never expected that the only two chances in the whole venue would happen to her.

And both times he directly pressured the two most powerful people.

If she continued to give the Queen Mother some slack, Si Linglong would really feel like she was just spilled water...

Si Linglong was slow to reveal the answer, and her expression was even visibly confused.

Even though people had been fooled by her "pretense" several times before, their minds were still uncontrollably led by her.

You should announce who is the final winner.

Although the Queen Mother was not so much as to be led by her, she could not help but feel a little curious.

Helian Yue could be said to be one of the only three people in the palace who already knew the answer, but he looked at her leisurely, wanting to see what choice she was going to make.

After all, there were not many bids from the company today, and the basic prices were all concentrated in the silent auction.

If he and the Queen Mother had not intervened temporarily, the Si family would have gotten what they wanted.

If Si Linglong treated the Queen Mother the same way she treated him just now, and there was a shortage of 170,000 taels, it would be unlikely for the Si family to win the first prize of this donation.

However, after all, this was just a small matter. Helian Yue just regarded it as a lively event. He already had an evaluation of the Si family in his mind.

As Helian Yue was thinking this, he saw Si Linglong, who had a troubled look on her face just now, suddenly turned her head and looked at him. The next second, she gave him a very sweet smile.

Helian Yue: ...

I have a bad feeling.

Si Linglong had already taken action. She turned to the guests again and said loudly, "Family members! In order to show the fairness and justice of this auction, I have decided to select one person on the spot to make the final announcement for us. What do you think?"

Everyone in the hall was still waiting for the result. They had not expected this kind of "interaction". But after this day, everyone had gotten used to Lang Zhaoyi's "enthusiasm". They did not think much about it at the moment and just agreed and said "OK".

Then the next second, Si Linglong turned to Helian Yue and said respectfully with a smile, "The emperor is the most respected, and this time the queen mother is bidding, so please let the emperor announce the final winner for us~"

Helian Yue: ...

Oh.

I knew it.

If you can't make up your mind, you will blame him.

This woman is getting more and more courageous.

Fengmou glanced at her calmly, but he cooperatively took the card she handed over to him.

Although he already knew the contents of the card, Helian Yue still pretended to glance at it. Then he did not rush to answer. Instead, he looked slowly in the direction of Si Zhongqing and Si Jinyu.

Everyone guessed that the card with the highest silent bid was from the Si family, but they didn't know how much the Si family had bid. If this price was lower than the Queen Mother's...

Ha, that would be nice.

Helian Yue spoke neither too fast nor too slow, which whetted the appetite of everyone in the hall. Just when Si Linglong couldn't help but want to urge him, Helian Yue finally spoke.

"The third Si family bid 79,900 taels. The final winner of this auction is the Queen Mother."

In an instant, there was thunderous applause, flowers were scattered, and musicians started playing.

It's so lively.

It was impossible for the Queen Mother to be as happy as the other ladies. She was always dignified and serious. After hearing the result, she only raised the corners of her lips slightly, and her face still looked solemn.

More importantly, she guessed that the price on the card was not 79,900 as the emperor said.

Just by looking at Lang Zhaoyi's expression just now and the look the emperor gave the Si family just now, she knew that the price offered by the Si family was higher than hers.

In order to save her face, the Si family suffered injustice.

She sighed inwardly but showed no sign of it on her face. In fact, the Queen Mother already had other plans regarding the Si family.
