, Zhao, his wife, who had already heard that Fang Jinshi was inviting them to dinner that evening, excitedly spread the news throughout the entire village.Tiezhu probably didn't expect that his mother...Fu Ming still thought Fang Jinshu would not accept the good intentions of the auction house owner, after all, she was still with a crazy husband.

"Good, thank you master."

It turned out Zong Yu had agreed first.

Fang Jinxiu ignored Fu Ming's dumbfounded expression, stepping calmly behind the manager and into the second-floor single room.

The location here is indeed excellent, not only close to the auction stage but also offering a panoramic view of the first floor hall.

"All your auction items have been sent backstage. As usual, if something is sold, the auction house will charge a commission of 10% of the total price."

"If there's nothing else, my lord, I shall take my leave."

Fang Jinxiu nodded to the head steward, indicating she had no other requests. The head steward understood and left with his people.

Only a few of them were left in the single room, Fu Ming was the first to feel strange.

"Something feels off."

The once-a-decade auction of Muzhou was renowned throughout Daxia's far reaches. Due to its fame, attendees were nothing short of wealthy and powerful figures, not just your average nobility.

Therefore, their barrier to entry is extremely high.

"We're only here to auction off a recipe for a snack. Even if the auction house owner is impressed by your beauty, they wouldn't give us such a good spot, would they"

"To know that someone can sit in a single room, they must be among the most powerful of the powerful!"

If he were to reveal his true identity, he would be more than comfortable sitting here.

But this time he came as an ordinary businessman. Wasn't the auction house owner a little too attentive to them

Fang Jinxiu only heard the first two sentences and turned her gaze to the downstairs, watching the arriving guests back and forth. She propped her chin with her hand, nonchalantly said.

"Could it be that I also sent an auction item over here"

And it is a rare treasure.

Fu Ming then nodded, as if he'd just realized something. "If it's a rare treasure, then it certainly deserves to be sitting here."

Suddenly, he reacted, glaring angrily at Fang Jinxiu.

"What You also brought auction items"

"Then you played me by tearing up the contract before!"

Fang Jinshi didn't know how to attend the auction at all, and she deliberately pretended not to know anything.

She turned to him with a smile, "Fu Shao-ye, haven't you kept any secrets from me"

"You came to me with the recipe, saying you wanted to bring me along. Could it be that you're afraid your snack recipes won't catch the eye of the auction house and you want to drag me in to help you get in"

This Fu Ming, he looks carefree and thoughtless, but in reality, his mind is quite sharp. He thinks his schemes are hidden from others, doesn't he

Suddenly exposed, Fu Ming just paused for a moment and didn't seem annoyed.

Perhaps, deep down, he had sensed from the beginning that this little trick wouldn't fool Fang Jinshui, and as it turned out, he was right.

Since he was caught, he simply put on a thick face and smirked.

"My, my, you're quite the perceptive young lady, aren't you Nothing escapes your notice."

"Fortunately, you're a woman. If you were a man, who knows how many people would be played by you."

Fang Jinshi didn't like hearing this kind of talk, a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.

"It's not a man, wanting to play with you until you die would be more than enough."

Fu Ming realized that his words had probably offended Fang Jinxiu, so he self-consciously shut his mouth.

At home, no one would ever speak to him like that. It was precisely because no one dared to, that Fu Ming found it boring and decided to run away from home.

"Young mistress, be careful what you say!"

Fu Ming found it interesting, but Shen Li didn't.

As a commoner, Fang Jinxiu dared not speak to her master like this!

Shen Li's attitude was intriguing.

Is there a typical wealthy young master who has a bodyguard like Shen Li, who is highly skilled in martial arts and treats death as if it were nothing, fiercely loyal and dedicated to protecting him

She became more and more certain of Fu Ming's identity, and it wasn't as simple as he said.

The answer in my heart was clear as day.

Fang Jinshu turned her head and continued to look down, but the moment her gaze shifted, her brow furrowed slightly.

After dealing with Muzhou's affairs, she must draw a clear line between herself and Fu Ming, master and servant, and go their separate ways.

To get involved with someone like that, she wouldn't have enough lives to live.

The auction is about to begin.

"That's right, I heard there are even more good things up for auction this time than in previous years."

"Well, it's not just because of the drought in Xizhou this year. I guess a lot of nobles have felt the crisis, after all, even the best things are dead objects if they are held in your hands."

"It's better to exchange it for something that can save your life, even if it's just exchanged for silver."

"That makes sense."

"I also heard that there was a wind-feeling pill this time."illa.The Jinshiu Mountain Villa is rich in resources. Other places in Xizhou probably envy your land, and there are people who have their eyes on the villa."But the manor has never encountered any for...
