Chapter 255: Obey
Upon hearing this, Zhang Mingrui quickly turned her head to look, but did not see Mu Jingxing. "Zijuan, are you sure Prince Mu is in the private room across the street?"
"Yes, he's sitting diagonally behind Master Xiao. He just stood up and pulled Master Jiang."
"knew."
Zhang Mingrui's expression was unclear. After a moment, she stood up and sat facing the window. She picked up the teacup and sipped it elegantly and leisurely.
Only then did Song Yu see her appearance clearly.
She was the other girl who spoke up for Du Zhihuan that day.
Song Yu felt inexplicably unhappy and turned his head to meet Xiao Chengqian's face.
"Sister Yu, there's still half a quarter of an hour left. The rice cakes at Ruibaolou have a unique flavor. If you like them, you can try them. They're delicious."
Jiang Guanchen said, "Cousin, try it quickly."
Bai Lan took out a clean handkerchief and handed a piece of rice cake to Song Yu.
Song Yu took a sip and said, "It really tastes unique..."
Xiao Fei felt helpless when he saw Mu Jingxing just sitting there without saying a word to Miss Song.
The young master of this family has a good-looking face, but he is really not good at coaxing girls.
It's over. Miss Song will definitely look down on his son.
Soon, the auction began.
All the items are of great value, ranging from small pearl hairpins to antiques from previous dynasties and calligraphy and paintings by famous artists.
Song Yu couldn't bear to watch it anymore.
She wanted to buy every one of them, but she came mainly to buy the red fruit and Tianshan Snow Lotus, and was worried that she didn't have enough money, so she didn't say a word.
But she forgot that the three men in the room all had sharp eyes, and they carefully observed her expression as each collection was displayed.
"...Eighty thousand taels three times, the former Princess Yu's phoenix-shaped golden jade crown, now belongs to Prince Mu."
"...Thirty-two thousand three times, the East Sea Night Pearl belongs to Prince Xiao."
"...Twenty thousand taels three times, the auspicious jade ruyi of wealth and honor belongs to Master Xiao Jiang."
The red fruit and the Tianshan snow lotus appear as the finale.
Zhang Mingrui finally took action to compete with Song Yu, and seemed determined to win.
"Eight thousand taels once, eight thousand taels twice..."
"Ten thousand taels!" Zijuan raised the sign.
Bai Lan glanced at Song Yu and then shouted loudly, "Twelve thousand taels."
Zijuan said anxiously, "Miss, Miss Du is really trying to snatch the Red Fruit from you. Let's forget it. We've already bid on several items, and we won't have enough money to continue."
Zhang Mingrui thought of Du Zhihuan and didn't want Song Yu to get the red fruit too easily. "Bid her 20,000."
"Thirteen thousand taels."
Bai Lan said, "Miss, do you want to follow?"
"Keep going, the Vermillion Fruit is so rare, we must get it!"
"yes."
Bai Lan immediately bid out 20,000 taels, while looking angrily at Zhang Mingrui opposite her.
Bai Lan thought they would bid more, but the other party was reluctant to speak.
"...Twenty-two thousand three times, deal."
In the end, more people competed for the Tianshan Snow Lotus.
Song Yu won it for 80,000 taels.
The shopkeeper of Ruibao Tower brought in the red fruit, the Tianshan Snow Lotus, the Phoenix Golden Jade Crown, the East China Sea Night Pearl, and the Jade Ruyi, and said respectfully, "Miss Du, these are the items you won today. Please take a look."
Song Yu was surprised and looked at Mu Jingxing and others.
She acted so calm, but she couldn't hide it from them!
"Cousin, you can't hide it from us. We took the photo because we knew you liked it. Please accept it. It's a gift from the three of us brothers."
Mu Jingxing hurriedly added, "Miss Song, just accept the Phoenix Golden Jade Crown as my greeting gift."
Song Yu wanted to say that he had already given the meeting gift a long time ago.
"Sister Yu." Xiao Chengqian said, "This Donghai Night Pearl can be considered as my greeting gift. Please accept it."
Since they were all gifts for meeting each other, she accepted them with a smile, "I'm sorry to have let my three brothers spend so much money..."
Zhang Mingrui felt a little indignant when she saw this scene.
Once upon a time, Huanhuan was the favored one in this private room.
What surprised her was that Prince Mu actually smiled!
Just because Song Yu is the true blood of the Marquis Mansion?
Or did Prince Mu see from the beginning that Huanhuan was not of the Marquis's bloodline?
"Zijuan, hurry up and go to the Du Mansion to see Huanhuan."
Wu Han had learned from the servants in the Du family that Du Zhihuan fell ill today and had no appetite.
Huanhuan must have known that Song Yu was going out with Prince Xiao today, which is why she acted like this.
Wu Han recalled the middle-aged man's words.
If Huanhuan's face was replaced with Song Yu's, wouldn't Huanhuan be able to marry Prince Xiao?
Prince Xiao will be the regent in the future, and Huanhuan will be the regent princess.
He could naturally continue to take the imperial examination and become an official in the court, and his father and grandmother could return to Beijing.
Thinking of this, Wu Han turned around and went to the small courtyard with two entrances.
Seeing Wu Han coming, the middle-aged man subconsciously touched his chin and asked, "Have you figured it out?"
Wu Han looked at him, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man turned and walked into the main room, "Come in and talk."
Wu Han followed him in, and as soon as he sat down, a servant brought in some tea and snacks, then left, closed the door, and stood guard in the yard.
On the roof, Ah Qi popped his head out and glanced at the servant guarding outside the door. It was unrealistic for him to eavesdrop by reaching over.
Inside the room, Wu Han took a sip of tea and asked, "Who are you?"
The middle-aged man said, "My name is Yang Xu. I was your father's aide before the Wu family fell into decline. I went on a long journey half a year ago, but I didn't expect that Master Wu had met with great misfortune when I returned. Now that your father and grandmother have returned safely, and the Wu family can regain its former glory, the only way is to allow the eldest daughter to marry smoothly into Prince Rong's mansion."
Wu Han looked at his face. He no longer had the fear he had felt when they first met. Instead, he looked much friendlier. "How could it be easy? Don't tell me about something as cruel and unthinkable as face-swapping. It can't succeed and will only cost lives."
Yang Xu sneered, "You're just like your father, only good at studying. You've read so much that you've become stupid. The world is so vast that nothing is impossible. Just because you haven't seen something doesn't mean it doesn't exist."
Wu Han frowned slightly, feeling angry inside.
With this tone and this look, how could he be like his father's aide?
His father was in trouble, but he didn't even take him seriously. He was also his master!
Thinking that I still had to rely on him to change my face, I suppressed the anger in my heart.
"So you're absolutely sure of what you're saying?"
"Of course. Just find a way to get Song Yu out, and leave the rest to me."
Wu Han narrowed his eyes. "Song Yu is always accompanied by numerous guards when he travels. I'm just a weak scholar. Do you think I have the ability to get Song Yu out?"
What a joke!
Why doesn't he do it himself?
Want him to do this?
If he didn't get Song Yu out and was discovered, his life would be in danger.
Yang Xu said: "There is one person who can, and that is your mother."
"My mother wouldn't do it!"
Mother is still hoping to renew her brother-sister relationship with Song Mingen!
Yang Xu handed him a box the size of a ring. "Go back and ask your mother what she thinks. Of course, don't mention the face-changing. See if she wants Huanhuan to marry Prince Xiao. If she doesn't, give her this pill and bring her to me. She'll naturally do what we want."
Wu Han opened the small box and saw a green pill inside. "What is this? I can't give it to my mother unless you tell me clearly."
"Don't worry, it won't hurt your mother. After eating it, she'll obey you within an hour."
What?
Wu Han's face turned pale with fright, and he felt that the person in front of him was even more terrifying.
"Well, it's getting late. If you want Huanhuan to marry into Prince Rong's mansion, take it with you. If not, then just pretend we haven't met today."
After saying this, Yang Xu turned around and faced Wu Han with his back.
Count silently in your mind until you reach ten.
Wu Han's voice rang out, "Then I'll be leaving first."
It was not until the door was opened that Yang Xu turned around and looked at the empty table, pursing his lips and smiling.
Huanhuan will surely marry into Prince Rong's mansion smoothly!
