Chapter 419 Princess Anyang and Du Zhihuan
"Sister Yu, please come in."
Song Yu asked Chunhua to guard outside, and led Bai Lan and Nuan Yu into the room and went straight to the window.
She quickly glanced down and soon noticed Song Mingen gesturing at her somewhere on the second floor.
Song Yu turned her head and saw a beautiful middle-aged woman wearing a veil hat, who was looking at her with her head supported.
Is this the old lady’s true appearance?
She is so beautiful, she doesn't look fake.
Her eyes quickly caught sight of the masked man beside her. Before she could take a closer look, Mu Chuqing from the private room next door poked her head out and waved at her, "Sister Yu, wait for me, I'll be right up."
"Sister Yu." Xiao Chengqian handed her two palm-sized glass magnifying glasses. "The third floor is a bit far from the auction table. If you can't see clearly, you can use these."
Song Yu happily took it and said, "Brother Prince is really thoughtful. I will take a closer look now."
Song Yu took the telescope and looked downstairs for a few times, then looked at Gu Yining's face carefully.
Gu Yining quickly put down her veil and retracted her head.
The glass magnifying glass can see people so clearly. Although she covered her true face, her expressions and smiles could not be hidden.
"Ningning, what's wrong?" Xiao Yanxu curiously stuck his head out to take a look.
When Gu Yining reached out to pull his head back, the sound of the door opening came from the private room next door. "Mom, I'm going upstairs to find Sister Yu. I won't be coming down. You must take a picture of that headpiece!"
Hearing this, Gu Yining felt a little irritated and pulled Xiao Yanxu's ear, "Then Miss Mu went upstairs to interfere with the relationship between Gan'er and Yu Yatou."
Xiao Yanxu quickly comforted her, "Don't be angry, don't be angry. She's your granddaughter-in-law and no one can take her away. Ah Jing is indeed very good-looking and a good match for Yu girl."
Gu Yining was angry and pinched his waist.
“Ouch!”
Xiao Yanxu growled and quickly admitted his mistake, "I'm not worthy, how could I be worthy? Good looks can't be used to make a living!"
"Hurry up and ask if there are any vacant private rooms on the third floor."
"...No, it was already ordered yesterday."
Gu Yining:!!!
As soon as Mu Chuqing entered the room, she started chatting with Song Yu, not giving Xiao Chengqian a chance to speak.
Xiao Chengqian didn't mind having people bring him snacks and fruits.
Mu Chuqing took a quick look and found that there were not only the foods that Sister Yu liked to eat, but also the fruits and vegetables that she liked to eat.
Hey, cousin will always be her best cousin,
She felt a little guilty for some reason.
This feeling of guilt didn't last long, as the auction began.
The first item attracted everyone's attention as soon as it appeared.
It is an exquisitely crafted gilded crane armlet.
Mu Chuqing was in need of a decent armlet, but due to her poor eyesight, she only had a rough look at the general appearance.
He forgot about the magnifying glass and the purpose of his visit. He said something to Song Yu and hurried downstairs.
"Sister Yu, do you like it?"
"I don't like wearing armlets. Let's wait for the next lot."
Song Yu's mind was not on the auction items at all, she was waiting to catch the adulterer.
It was noon soon, but Du Zhihuan was nowhere to be seen.
Is Du Zhihuan too sick to keep the appointment?
Song Yu glanced at Nuan Yu. Nuan Yu shouldn't be staring at the wrong person.
Du Zhihuan received the letter but did not send it to Prince Xiao.
Then she will definitely come.
Xiao Chengqian was also absent-minded as he talked to Song Yu about the value and history of each item.
Huanhuan will be here in two quarters of an hour.
Du Zhihuan, who was being missed by the two men, stopped the carriage at the intersection diagonally across the street from Fancui Building.
"Miss, do you want to go over now?"
Du Zhihuan took out a small bronze mirror and added some makeup to herself, making her face look a little pale and weak. "Go ahead, don't keep Master Xiao waiting."
"Wait a minute." Yunyan came back at this time, "I saw Song Yu's carriage parked next to Xiao Shizi's carriage."
Du Zhihuan was surprised. Why did her brother-in-law ask her to come and bring Song Yu along?
"Did Prince Xiao's men see you?"
Yunyan: "He saw it, but Song Yu's men were right next to him, so he didn't dare come over."
Yunyan said, "With Song Yu present, Master Xiao might not be able to get away to see you. Miss, please return to the Du family's small courtyard first. I will disguise myself and wait here to see what Master Xiao wants to see you for."
Du Zhihuan pondered for a moment, realizing that the implantation of the Illusion Face Gu couldn't be delayed for too long. She took out a pen and paper from the small table, wrote a few lines, and tucked them into her sleeve. "Since Song Yu is here, I will go see Master Xiao openly."
As soon as Du Zhihuan arrived at the main entrance of Fancui Building, she heard a familiar voice, "Huanhuan!"
"Princess!"
"Ah, Huanhuan, it's been a while since we last met. How come you've lost weight and your complexion is still so pale?"
Du Zhihuan saw Princess Anyang's eyes filled with heartache and was delighted. It seemed she had fooled everyone. "Thank you for your concern, Princess. I caught a cold a few days ago and my appetite has decreased. I'm much better now. Why are you coming to Fancui Tower at this time? Today's auction is almost over."
Seeing that she was in good spirits, Princess Anyang smiled and said, "It's not over yet. I came here on time to take pictures of Empress Jiang Yu of the Li Dynasty. You didn't do the same, did you?"
"I was passing by here, and it was noon, so I decided to have lunch here on a whim to see if I could take a look at some of today's auction items."
"Yes, there's no need to look at anything else. It's a waste of time. Only Queen Jiang Yu's headdress is valuable. Let's go in together."
Song Yu was staring at the front and back doors of the lobby on the first floor with a magnifying glass. When Princess Anyang and Du Zhihuan appeared in his sight, he knew that today's plan was in vain!
"Ningning, it's Huanhuan."
Gu Yining looked down. Why was she here?
"Why does she look weaker than a few days ago?"
Xiao Yanxu looked at her intently for a few seconds. "Her breathing is very steady and her steps are strong, which is enough to prove that she is not seriously injured."
"Why is she here at this hour? The auction is almost over. Is she here to see Gan'er?"
Xiao Yanxu frowned slightly. "The girl next to him is Prince Rui's daughter. They are good sisters. It's obvious that she brought Huanhuan to bid for the headpiece. It looks like we're going to have to spend a lot of money to win it today!"
Princess Anyang pulled Du Zhihuan directly up to the third floor.
Chunhua's expression changed slightly when she saw the two of them enter the private room next door.
Did Nuanyu miss it yesterday?
It shouldn't be possible!
Then why did she come with Princess Anyang?
Or was it that Du Zhihuan had discovered their plan?
She can't be that amazing, right?
Song Yu's face looked ugly at this time, but fortunately he had his back to Xiao Chengqian.
Du Zhihuan's meeting with Princess Anyang must have been a coincidence.
What did it mean that Prince Xiao came to pick her up to attend the auction?
Did he really just treat Du Zhihuan as his sister and drag her to meet his ex-fiancée?
Song Yu didn't think for too long before he heard a cry of surprise from downstairs.
The last lot, the Golden Branch and Jade Phoenix Peony Headdress, was officially unveiled.
"One hundred thousand taels!"
Princess Anyang raised the starting price from 20,000 taels to 100,000 taels with just one word.
Song Yu opened his mouth in shock. Princess Anyang was indeed very rich!
Seeing Song Yu's envy, Xiao Chengqian immediately opened the bid, "One hundred and twenty thousand taels!"
Mu Chuqing was unwilling to show weakness and directly bid, "One hundred and fifty thousand taels!"
When Xiao Chengqian raised the price again, he remembered that it was time to officially use the silver, so he did not add any more.
“Fifteen thousand taels at a time!
"Fifteen thousand taels twice"
Gu Yining was very anxious. Why didn’t her son continue bidding?
It would be more appropriate for him to give it to Yu girl personally.
Could it be that my son is short of money and doesn’t even have 160,000 taels?
"One hundred and fifty thousand taels and three thousand..."
"Two hundred thousand taels!" Gu Yining had no choice but to bid.
Everyone looked up and tilted their heads to look in Gu Yining's direction.
Even Prince Xiao doesn't dare to compete with the Mu family. Who is so bold as to compete with the Mu family?
Before everyone could see Gu Yining clearly, a deep voice suddenly rang out in their ears, "Three hundred thousand taels!"
