Seeing that Lady Zhou was conflicted, Su Qian’s heart softened. She didn’t want to make things difficult for her, so she took the initiative to say, “Grandmother, the Ninth Prince just helped us. We’re helping him to repay his kindness just now.”
Su Qian’s words were very sincere. Not only did she not make things difficult for Madam Zhou, but she also told Xiao Yan that he could come over and sit together. However, she had repaid the favor just now. In the future, Xiao Yan could forget about taking credit for today’s matter.
Xiao Yan had no intention of doing so. Seeing that Su Qian had agreed, he was relieved. “Then let’s go in. Old Madam, please.”
The group entered the auction house smoothly and took their seats in the VIP room on the third floor.
“It’s rare to come to the VIP room on the third floor. It looks much better than the one on the second floor.” Lady Zhou sat down steadily with the help of Lady Wen and Su Qian. She looked around and said with a smile.
“The third floor of the Feng Lin Auction House has always been off-limits to ordinary people. From this, it can be seen that the Great Steward must have valued the Old Madam very much.” Xiao Yan flatters indifferently.
Su Qian glanced at Xiao Yan in surprise. She didn’t expect this man to actually say nice things to others.
It was no wonder Su Qian was surprised. After all, Xiao Yan was not someone who would easily give a compliment. Even if he was facing the Emperor now, with Xiao Yan’s personality, he might not say anything nice. She didn’t expect him to be so patient when facing the Old Madam.
And Xiao Yan’s patience was obviously useful. Lady Zhou smiled, “Your Highness is too polite. Please take a seat, Your Highness.”
Su Qian and Lady Wen sat down on the right side of Lady Zhou. As soon as the four of them sat down, the beautiful maids of the Feng Lin Auction House served tea, fruits, and snacks.
Su Qian took a sip of tea and looked down. She happened to see the Su family members walking to the front of the hall. They were so arrogant as if they wanted to show off before sitting down steadily.
“Qian’er, don’t look at them anymore. It’s not worth getting upset over.” Seeing that Su Qian kept looking down, Lady Wen hurriedly said this. She looked down at the Su family members with as much disdain as she could. It was as if she was looking at something unsightly. Just a glance would hurt her eyes.
“Speaking of which, it’s unlucky. The Su family is so poor, why are they still attending the auction? Can they afford it?” Lady Zhou thought of Su Chenghua’s smug look just now and was irritated.
“Since the Su family is here, they’re either buying or selling. Grandmother, let’s just wait and see.” Su Qian’s heart was as clear as a mirror as she said calmly.
“I don’t care about those annoying fellows. Qian’er, if you see anything you like, just tell me. No matter what it is, 1 will buy it for you.” Lady Zhou said dotingly.
“Thank you, Grandmother.” Su Qian smiled and the four of them chatted while drinking tea and eating refreshments. After waiting for half an hour, most of the guests had arrived. The VIP rooms on the second floor were filled with people, and the VIP rooms on the third floor were not for just anyone. Most of them were people from the royal family or sects who didn’t want to show themselves. Most of them kept their curtains closed, but only Su Qian and her group were open and straightforward.
The hall was overcrowded. Other than those who were sitting, there were also many people who had arrived late. They could only stand pitifully in the hall, stretching their necks to wait for the auction to begin.
Finally, with Gu Qingyou taking the stage, the auction officially began..
