Princess Agent: The Sweet Country Girl's Way to Glory - Chapter 392
Chapter 392 Fall Into A Trap
The reason why the Yuan clan came to Prince Lian’s Mansion was not so simple as to cooperate with Su Wanwan. What she wanted to do was to humiliate Su Wanwan in return for what Fu Wanwan had done to their General’s Mansion!
At this moment, in the Prince Concealing Palace. The maidservant said, “Princess, why does this servant feel that the general’s wife’s purpose is not so pure? Her face is not good at all.”
Naturally, she could tell! However, Su Wanwan still felt that she should do it. She lazily looked up at the maidservant and said, “Go pack up. Bring this palace and His Highness’s cloaks to iron it up. After two hours, this palace and His Highness will go out.”
Su Wanwan insisted on going, so it was hard for her to say anything about being a servant. The maidservant thought for a moment and bowed to Fu Shen before following suit.
Unknowingly, a long time had passed. Logically speaking, it should have been down long ago. Who knew that Qi Chengfeng hadn’t returned yet? Su Wanwan had waited for a long time. He had lunch with Madam Zhao, Zhao Ziyan, and the others.
Just as she finished using it, a servant hurriedly ran over. Su Wanwan’s eyes revealed a hint of joy as she said, “Your Highness is back?”
“Your Highness hasn’t returned yet. There’s a carriage parked at the entrance. It belongs to the wife of the general. She’s waiting for you. She said that she would go with you. She also brought you some pastry cooked by the chef of the general’s mansion.” The servant said.
“So it’s her.” Su Wanwan’s eyes instantly dimmed. She wiped her lips with the cloth that the maidservant handed over from the side. Then, she got up and was about to leave. Madam Zhao said, “Go ahead. It doesn’t matter if you spend some money to play. But don’t eat hers. Use hers.”
“Sister is right. Their General’s Mansion is not used to our Prince Concealing Mansion. I don’t think it’s a good thing this time. It’s fine if you want to go, but at least you need to bring dozens of guards with you!” Zhao Ziyan said.
“I know.” Su Wanwan smiled, thinking that having two mothers was not bad.
Su Wanwan was just about to go to her carriage when she saw a luxurious carriage leaning against the side. Looking through the curtains, Su Wanwan recognized that the person inside was Madam Yuan.
Yuan shi saw Su Wanwan and immediately came out to deliver the peach crisp. Su Wanwan smiled and accepted it. She thanked Su Wanwan and got into her carriage.
After that, the two carriages headed towards the Heavenly Residence Building on East Street one after the other.
Inside the carriage, Su Wanwan threw the peach cake into the space and gave it to Shi Qin’er and the others to eat. Unexpectedly, there was no poison in the cake. Shi Qin’er and the others ate happily.
However, when she thought about it, Su Wanwan felt that no matter what, the Yuan Clan would not attack her so quickly. Now that she had been poisoned, it would not be beneficial to the Yuan Clan at all.
After they finished eating, Su Wanwan took out the food box and got out of the carriage. Su Wanwan asked the servants to return it.
The maidservant at the side of the Yuan clan accepted it. Looking inside, she found that it was gone. She said happily, “Madam, it seems that Princess Lian believes us very much! It seems that we will definitely be able to …”
“Shut up. As a servant, it’s better to speak less.” Mrs. Yuan whispered and glared at the maidservant. However, her tone was very gentle. Obviously, she wasn’t angry, but her eyes were filled with pride.
“Yes.” The maidservant nodded and laughed silently.
Occasionally, they would get off the carriage outside the Heavenly Residence Building.
The tables and chairs in the lobby had been removed and many large chairs had been replaced with cushions. Su Wanwan went to a corner and sat down. Who would have thought that Madam Yuan would actually find a place close to Su Wanwan to sit. She was on friendly terms with Su Wanwan. Su Wanwan ignored her. Madam Yuan’s words gradually diminished, and her complexion gradually darkened.
After a long time, many wealthy families in the capital came. There were even quite a few commoners standing outside the Heavenly Residence Pavilion to watch the show.
Shopkeeper Zhang slapped the table when he saw that everyone was here and said, “Everyone knows that the Emperor is going to sell Wen Shan’s place for disaster relief today, right? Everyone knows how good that place is. The lowest bid this time is 300,000 taels of silver! The bid will be increased by 10,000 taels of silver at a time!”
Everyone outside was shocked. When they heard that Qi Delong was auctioning Wen Shan for disaster relief, they were shocked. However, their favorable impression of Qi Delong increased.
At this moment, in a private room, Qi Delong sat inside and watched. He asked someone to open the window, and his heart became happy when he heard how praised he was from outside.
Everyone began to bid. From time to time, the price soared to 500,000 taels of silver. Yuan shi said to Su Wanwan, “Princess Lian, look, 500,000 taels of silver! Hurry up and shout! Then I’ll help you suppress it. Otherwise, even if it’s higher, we’ll be broke!”
Su Wan obeyed her and immediately shouted, “Six hundred thousand taels of silver!”
Yuan shi immediately
“Princess Lian is really generous. Our General’s Mansion will give Princess Lian a thin face today, so we won’t fight for it today.”
As she spoke, Yuan shi glanced at one of the people in the crowd. That person immediately said, “Why would the auction not be allowed? Do you understand the rules, Madam General?”
Everyone echoed, and then there was the bidding. Su Wanwan frowned and said, “Seven hundred thousand silver taels!”
“Hiss!” Seven hundred thousand taels of silver!
Everyone was shocked. Su Wanwan had offered 100,000 taels of silver at a time. How forthright!
Su Wanwan felt that the crowd’s bid was boring. She just wanted to end it sooner and said, “One million taels of silver!”
One million taels! Who else could afford it? Everyone was shocked! All of them fell silent, but Madam Yuan felt that they could still rise. She rolled her eyes at the people in the crowd and immediately said, “1,000,000 taels of silver!”
Can’t Su Wanwan see the interaction between the two of them? Su Wanwan sneered and stopped talking.
However, everyone looked at Su Wanwan as if they wanted to see how much money Su Wanwan had!
Mo Yue was silent for a while. The host on the stage, Mr. Zhang, said, “Princess Lian, do you want to bid again?”
“Do you want?” Su Wanwan said vaguely.
The bidder’s body couldn’t help but tremble. Even if he sold all of his assets for less than a thousand taels of silver! Thinking about it, if Su Wanwan didn’t sell it, with his ability, he wouldn’t be able to pay with money!
The face darkened. Under everyone’s gaze, Su Wanwan still didn’t say anything. Instead, she fiddled with the handkerchief in her hand.
Mrs. Yuan’s expression darkened. She had originally thought that Su Wanwan would buy it at a high price, but she did not admit her debt and let Su Wanwan pay for it alone! But now, Su Wanwan did not seem to have any intention of buying it, and she had arranged for the person who had just bid! At that time, he would also have to bear some responsibility if he made a mistake! Yuan shi whispered, “Princess Lian, hurry up and raise the price! Otherwise, our Wen Shan will be ruined!”
Su Wanwan looked at her slowly and said, “I won’t compete with you anymore. Everyone, buy it.”
“…”
She heard something! Su Wanwan did not buy it! Then how should she explain this to the Emperor and the general? In an instant, Madam Yuan’s body almost fell to the ground. The maidservant helped her up.
Yuan shi grabbed Su Wanwan’s leg and whispered, “Princess Lian, have you forgotten our agreement? Hurry up and pay the money! It doesn’t matter if you pay ten thousand taels more! It really can’t be done. Count the extra ten thousand taels on my head, how about it?”
