The legitimate daughter returns, and the princess goes crazy

"The starting price is five thousand taels of silver." As the auctioneer called out the reserve price, some people couldn't wait to bid.

"Five thousand three hundred taels of silver."

"Six thousand taels of silver."

Mu Yan signaled Shi Ying to raise the sign with her eyes.

"Six thousand seven hundred taels of silver."

"Seven thousand taels of silver."

"..."

After several rounds of bidding, the only bidders left were Mu Yan and another one.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver! This gentleman has offered twenty thousand taels of silver. Is there any other boss who can offer a higher price?"

Only then did Mu Yan look at the other bidder. He was dressed in ordinary clothes and should be an attendant, but the young man next to him caught Mu Yan's attention. He had red lips, white teeth and a handsome face. He should be a woman dressed as a man like Mu Yan.

Seeing her pale face and the fact that it was early winter but she was wearing very thick clothes, she should be suffering from a cold caused by deficiency of Qi and blood. Bidding for the warm jade should be for recuperation of the body. In line with the doctor's heart, since the patient needed it, there was no need for him to fight for it. He immediately reached out to stop Shi Ying from bidding again.

"Twenty thousand taels of silver for once!"

"Twenty thousand taels of silver twice!"

"Twenty thousand taels of silver for three times!" With three hammer sounds, the warm jade was successfully taken by the woman dressed as a man. The woman looked at Mu Yan and nodded. She knew that Mu Yan deliberately let her go. Mu Yan also nodded slightly as a polite response.

After three rounds of auction, Mu Yan was about to get up and leave, thinking that this trip tonight was in vain.

But before leaving the private room, I heard the auctioneer say loudly: "Due to the special circumstances tonight, our auction house has decided to hold a fourth round of auctions."

After he finished speaking, there was an uproar all around, because the rule of Sihai Auction House was to auction only three items every night, and this rule had never been broken since its establishment.

Then the maid presented the fourth auction item. Mu Yan was instantly pleasantly surprised. Wasn't this the Seven-Star Begonia that she had been looking for with so much difficulty? Although she had never seen it with her own eyes, she had seen it in the medical book left by her grandmother and would never make a mistake.

Was she lucky tonight? After all, her trip was not in vain.

"The item for the fourth round of auction is a rare medicinal herb that is rarely seen in a century - the Seven-Star Begonia. The starting price is three thousand taels of silver. Bidding begins!" The auctioneer made the final decision.

Mu Yan rubbed his ears in disbelief. The starting price of such a precious Seven-Star Begonia was only three thousand taels. Didn’t the people at Sihai Auction House know the value of the goods?

Before Shi Ying raised her sign, Mu Yan couldn't wait to pick up the sign and bid.

"Four thousand taels of silver."

"Five thousand taels of silver."

"Five thousand five hundred taels of silver."

"Eight thousand taels of silver."

"..."

Soon the price was auctioned off to 30,000 taels of silver, which was enough to cover the Mu family's expenses for a year. Fortunately, Mu Yan had a mother who was good at making money and left her a lot of property. Although most of it was in the Mu family's public account, the small portion that remained in her name could make Mu Yan a small wealthy woman.

"Damn it, how dare this immature brat snatch things from me? I lack everything except money!"

I heard a curse coming from somewhere. I looked in the direction of the voice and saw that the man who was speaking was short and thin. Although he was holding a fan and pretending to be elegant, his dandy nature was exposed as soon as he opened his mouth.

The corners of Mu Yan's mouth curled up slightly, revealing an unknown sneer.

It was him!

Mu Yan recognized that this man was Mo Xingchen's cousin, Wang Zicheng, the eldest son of Mo Xingchen's uncle. He relied on his family's connection with the royal family to oppress the people and do all kinds of evil.

In his previous life, he was so shameless that he drugged and defiled the daughter of a minor official. After the girl woke up, she learned the truth and was heartbroken. She chose to hang herself in the dead of night.

Unfortunately, the woman was going to get married in a few days. It was said that she and her fiancé were childhood sweethearts. She thought she could live with her beloved for the rest of her life after marriage, but she didn't expect that her life would be ruined by this scumbag. After her fiancé learned about this, he also committed suicide for love.

However, the woman's family was afraid of the power behind the Wang family and dared not speak out. They accepted a sum of money from the Wang family and the matter was left unresolved.

The most abominable thing was that one time on Mo Xingchen's birthday, he went to the Prince of Wei's mansion to attend the banquet. He drank too much and dared to say in public that she was ugly.

All in all, Mu Yan hated this man to the extreme. If Mo Xingchen had not relied on the Wang family's financial resources, she would have abolished him long ago.

The Wang family is a famous merchant family in the capital. Although they are wealthy, merchants have had a low status since ancient times. Therefore, Mo Xingchen has a low status among the princes because of his mother's family.

But Mo Xingchen needs the financial support of the Wang family to win over a group of officials. In other words, the Wang family is Mo Xingchen's money bag, so they protect Wang Zicheng everywhere.

After Wang Zicheng finished cursing, he signaled his followers beside him to bid.

After receiving the order, the attendant raised his chin and shouted proudly: "My master will pay forty thousand taels of silver."

"Forty thousand taels of silver! This guest asked for forty thousand taels of silver in one go. He is really rich and powerful. Is there any higher price than forty taels?"

When Wang Zicheng heard the auctioneer praising him, he immediately felt elated.

"Fifty thousand taels of silver." Mu Yan raised her sign and bid directly. She was determined to get the Seven-Star Begonia tonight.

Mu Yan knew that Prince was a sincere person. He certainly didn't know the true value of the Seven-Star Begonia, but he just couldn't bear to see anyone competing with him for something.

But Mu Yan won't tolerate him. Putting aside Mo Xingchen, who does he think he is?

"Damn it, you little bastard, do you know who I am?" When Wang Zicheng saw someone trying to snatch things from him in such a serious manner, he immediately became furious and pointed at Mu Yan and cursed.

"I guess you are a dog, that's why you bark." Mu Yan looked indifferent, raised her thin apricot-red lips, and there was a hint of sarcasm in her eyes.

"I've finally opened my eyes today. If I don't teach you a lesson today, you won't know who I am."

His aunt is the current emperor's concubine. It is courting death for this young boy in front of him to scold him.

As he said this he clapped his hands, and the three or five sturdy men behind him all came towards Mu Yan with sticks in their hands.

Mu Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, and a dangerous aura emanated from her body.

"Ignorant of good and evil!"

How could this mob be her opponent?

Mu Yan rushed into the crowd in an instant, gently opened and closed the folding fan in his hand, and fought with these thugs.

At the same time, in a private room on the second floor, a man wearing a black robe with gold Shu embroidery and a silver patterned mask, exuding a cold aura that kept people at a distance, was watching this scene with amusement.

"Master, do you want me to send someone to help this girl?" his personal bodyguard Han Feng asked tentatively.
