After being read, the abstinent prince bullies others with his wife every day

Chapter 240 Auction House

"No," Concubine An said immediately, "Brother, please don't lose your composure because of what Prince Rui said today. Yun Shuning is now the treasure of the Yun Zhong family. We need to be cautious in dealing with her. We must not leave any evidence behind. Otherwise, with the character of the old man Yun Zhong, if Yun Shuning gets into trouble, he will lead his troops to avenge her even if he disobeys the order."

Duke Zhou knocked on the table and said, "Your Majesty, what you said makes sense. Then we will..."

Concubine An was silent for a moment, then raised her eyes to meet his gaze, and gently placed her jade-white index finger on her lips, raising the corners of her lips.

The smile was fleeting, like a poisonous mandala blooming in the night.

"Wait for the wind to come."

……

After the wedding banquet, the whole of Yanjing seemed to be bewitched overnight. Matchmakers came to propose marriage and crowded into the gate of the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion every day, clamoring to be the first to deliver the invitation, for fear that if they were a step late, the coveted pie would be eaten by someone else, and the threshold would be trampled down by people.

Faced with such posts, Yun Zhong naturally rejected them all and even closed the door to visitors in the end.

Those people were not discouraged and blocked the entrance of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, preventing anyone from entering or leaving.

The gatekeeper chased him away several times, but he still stubbornly stayed there. If the tone was a little harsh, he would shout that the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion was bullying. In desperation, he had to hurried to the study, ready to ask Yun Zhong for instructions, but he saw Yun Yan on the way.

"Second son."

Yun Yan glanced in the direction of the study: "What's up?"

The servant bowed and said, "Second Master, it's still about the young lady. Those matchmakers are so shameless that they blocked the gate of our Zhenguo Mansion and refused to leave no matter how hard we tried to drive them away. I have no choice but to come and ask for your advice."

Yun Yan's face darkened instantly: "No need to ask my father, I'll go."

After saying that, he strode out.

When he reached the door, he saw those old women peeking in like thieves. His eyes became stern. "Ning'er is still young. Why should you worry about her marriage? I'll give you one stick of incense to leave quickly. If you keep blocking the door, I'll charge you with disturbing the peace and trespassing!"

It goes without saying that those old foxes must have been attracted by Ning'er's beauty and status, and offered a very high price, which made these matchmakers come one after another to propose marriage.

The matchmakers looked at each other and left in a hurry. The people from the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion were easy to talk to when they were not angry, but if they were really angered, they would definitely be in big trouble. For the sake of money, they would rather end up in jail.

In just a few blinks of an eye, the crowd at the door disappeared completely, and Yun Yan's expression finally relaxed.

"Second brother is really courageous. He drove away all these women as soon as he took action."

A clear voice came from behind. Yun Li put his hand on Yun Yan's shoulder and said nonchalantly, "I have said this several times in the past few days, but they don't take it seriously. It's strange. Why do they listen to you?"

"Why don't you listen to me? Don't you know clearly that you are the fourth son of Yun who is lingering among the flowers?" Yun Yan turned his head to look at him and said in a serious tone, "Everyone is watching Ning'er now. There can't be any mistakes. I have official business to attend to these few days, so I will leave the task of protecting Ning'er to you. If anything happens to Ning'er, you will be beheaded."

"My dear second brother, just swallow your heart. Even if you don't tell me, I will protect her. Ning'er is also my sister." Yun Li held his head high and patted his chest, "Don't worry, second brother."

"Well, I still have official business to attend to, so I'll leave first." Yun Yan frowned and looked at him for a long time, wanting to say something, but finally shook his head, got on the carriage waiting at the door and left.

Yun Li watched him get on the carriage with a smile on his face. When the carriage disappeared from his sight, he immediately rushed into the Treasure Garden with a happy face like a monkey. As soon as he stepped into the gate, he shouted, "Ning'er, come out quickly. Second brother will take you to an interesting place. Do you want to go?"

Yun Shuning was drying herbs in the yard. Hearing this, he looked at him and said, "What interesting place? Could it be a brothel?"

After returning to the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, she often heard the maids and guards talking about Yun Li's romantic affairs.

It’s no wonder that she believed it. Didn’t they first meet in a brothel?

If the rumor is false, she doesn't believe it.

Yun Li sat down on the stone bench with his legs crossed. "Let's go to the auction house, the largest auction house in Yanjing. They have everything from gold and silver jewelry to herbal medicine recipes to daggers and swords. How about it? Are you interested?"

"Auction house?" Yun Shuning was now interested: "Why haven't I heard of it before?"

"Humph," Yun Li said with a proud look on his face, crossing his arms, "Of course, this is because not everyone can go to this auction house. You can only go if the people in the auction house recognize your spending power. Of course, they will also consider your character. What does this mean?

This shows that I, your fourth brother, am a decent person. Those rumors are just outsiders’ prejudices against me. When you get to know the real me, I will scare you to death, hehe…”

Yun Li was chattering to himself at the side, while Yun Shuning had already sorted out the herbs, washed his hands, and was ready to leave.

She clearly remembered that Yun Li was quite polite when they first met, but how come he became so talkative after they got to know each other?

And this person is extremely narcissistic.

She cleared her throat and said, "Yes, yes, Fourth Brother, let's go quickly. What if we go too late and the auction is over?"

She had never seen what an ancient auction was like, so she was quite curious about it.

Yun Li stood up and walked side by side with her: "Don't worry, your fourth brother is very good at controlling time."

Yun Shuning secretly chirped and began to be narcissistic again, but when she arrived at the place, she had to admit that what her fourth brother said was true. He really managed the time just right. It happened that the group was walking towards the auction house.

I saw a group of people in luxurious clothes taking out a thin piece of jade from their sleeves and handing it to the servants. The servants took a look at it, bowed and welcomed them in.

Yun Shuning and Yun Li followed them in. As soon as they stepped in, they felt an inexplicable sense of majesty coming towards them.

She looked at the scene in front of her that looked like a modern auction house. Before she could finish her surprise, Yun Li pulled her to a room on the far left: "The auction hasn't started yet. Let's go to the sales hall first."

"There is also a sales hall? Was this place built by the imperial court? It covers such a large area." Yun Shuning asked curiously.

"Of course not, this place is private, but the owner behind the scenes is very mysterious. No one has ever seen his true face, and no one even knows whether he is a man or a woman!" Yun Li said as he stepped into the room. When he saw the various swords and weapons displayed in the front right, his eyes suddenly lit up, and everyone in the room exclaimed in surprise.

Yun Shuning was amused by him and burst out laughing.

Yun Li looked up and down at a sword, and while looking at it he kept introducing it to Yun Shuning, not knowing that Yun Shuning had already run to the medicine area to look at the herbal medicine prescription.

As she was looking at it, she suddenly found a round and smooth white pill placed on the top of the counter, which looked like a pearl.

"Young lady, you have good eyesight. This is the town's treasure in our medicine section, a beauty pill. After a woman takes it, not only can she achieve the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, but it can even prolong her life and keep her face young!" The servant looked at her expression and bowed to introduce.

"Can you take it out and let me see it?" Yun Shuning became interested. She and Xiaobai were halfway through researching this beauty pill and were planning to take it to the clinic to sell it after it was made. However, she didn't expect to see it here.

"Got it!"

The waiter bent down and took it out from the counter, and handed it to Yun Shuning: "Look, young lady, this is the only one in our store. Once you leave the auction house, you will never be able to buy it again. There is only one this year."

Yun Shuning leaned closer to the pill and took a look. Just as he was about to speak, he heard a spoiled voice behind him: "Boss, I want this thing."
