“Let’s not dwell on them. Since we’re here, we should make the most of our trip,” Liang Yi, a known party enthusiast, suggested. He was accustomed to mingling with all kinds of people in the affluent circle of the Imperial Capital.

He proposed, “Sister, is there anything you’d like to see or buy? Big brother will get it for you.”

They were all well-acquainted with the unspoken rules of the aristocratic circle, so there was no need for further discussion.

As for the Elegant Prince, he possessed some talent but was known for his l.u.s.tful tendencies. While he enjoyed such pursuits, he was not particularly intelligent. The little wit he possessed was sufficient for him to carouse with courtesans in the pleasure quarters.

The Miao family was well aware of his character, but as he was not the legitimate heir and did not manage the family business, they had no reason to constrain him unless he crossed the line with respectable women.

Therefore, as long as Miao Fengyu did not set his sights on Liu s.h.i.+mei or Zhang Miaozhen, there would be no objections from their group.

Liu s.h.i.+mei did not want to dampen the mood either and laughed, “I want to see some priceless treasures. Will you empty your pockets, Ninth Brother?”

“I’m not afraid to do so,” Liang Yi declared extravagantly. “When we get back, I’ll settle the bill with my parents! As long as it’s for my sister, I’ll move mountains of gold and silver for you!”

“Deal!” Liu s.h.i.+mei grinned mischievously. “I’ll hold you to that!”

It was all said in jest. She had plenty of her own money, after all.

After chatting for a while, they headed to the exhibition hall.

In this part of the hall, there were replicas of the treasures about to be auctioned. To prevent counterfeits from being mixed in, these replicas were either scaled-down or enlarged versions of the real items.

Beside each replica were the dimensions of the original and detailed descriptions of the items.

If anyone was interested, they could approach one of the young attendants from the Thousand b.u.t.terfly Valley to meet with the seller. Whether a transaction could be negotiated depended entirely on one’s bargaining skills.

It could be said that this type of auction house was quite innovative and sophisticated for its time.

“Wife, do you have any favorites?” Huangfu Lingyao inquired.

Did she truly fear losing him? His hand had been in Liu s.h.i.+mei’s all along since they entered!

Observing her careful examination of the exhibits, he too had been scrutinizing her expression, hoping to find something that caught her eye.

Throughout, her expression remained unchanged, devoid of any particular fondness for any item.

It seemed she found none of these things appealing.

These were priceless treasures, objects of immense value, but in Liu s.h.i.+mei’s eyes, they were mere trinkets. She remarked, “Everything is quite lovely, but there’s nothing 1 need.”

“Since you haven’t found anything you like, how about we step outside for some fresh air? 1 don’t like it here; it’s too crowded!” Huangfu Lingyao muttered, casting a glance around.

Liu s.h.i.+mei instantly understood his reason for disliking this place. It was not because of what he said, but because there were too many people watching them!

Of course, Zhang Miaozhen felt the same way. She was also uneasy. When she heard Huangfu Lingyao suggest leaving, she added, “I don’t think there’s anything we need here. Let’s go outside.”

“Very well,” Liu s.h.i.+mei agreed.

Huangfu Lingyao wasted no time, immediately pulling Liu s.h.i.+mei towards the exit.

His steps were particularly brisk, and in no time, Liu s.h.i.+mei turned back and noticed, “Oh, where are Ninth Brother and Miaozhen?”

Shu Jun replied, “We walked fast; they’re probably still behind us.”

Huangfu Lingyao turned around and saw Shu Jun still following. He could not help but grumble inwardly, “Why is this brat sticking to me like glue? Can’t shake him off!”

However, he could not chase him away openly, so he said, “Wife, let’s check out what’s ahead. I think 1 saw some small animals over there!”

Liu s.h.i.+mei glanced in that direction and spotted a beautiful sika deer. Her eyes lit up, “Let’s go, I want to see!”

After they turned in that direction, they realized the area was already occupied.

“Excuse us…”

Liu s.h.i.+mei was about to turn and leave when she noticed the person looking at her with deep, almost excited eyes?

The person took a step forward, saying, “Miss…. Eldest Miss Liu, please stay!”
