A dream ends life

"Your Majesty, the old lady has really aged a lot, and most of her hair is white. She asked me to go over, but it's not because she wants to see me, but because she misses you so much that she can't stop talking to you."

Yu Luohan was somewhat moved. His grandmother really loved him the most. During the years he was at the Yu family, he was raised by his grandmother.

"He's here too?" There was a hint of alienation and indifference in his voice.

Does the old butler know who that person is?

Nodding: "The old lady is old, and the Second Master has been serving her. The Second Master misses you too."

There was sarcasm in Yu Luohan's eyes. Missing him?

You must have completely forgotten about him, right?

The old housekeeper looked at Yu Luohan and said, "My Lord, would you like to invite the old lady to stay here for a while? Although Duke Lu's mansion is nice, we are still guests after all. You see..."

Yu Luohan drooped his eyelids, thought for a long time and said, "Post it!"

The old housekeeper was a little hesitant. The invitation was to invite someone to come over, but the old lady was his grandmother, so...

But it's not a big deal. The Regent's Mansion has no connection with Duke Lu's Mansion, and it's not appropriate for the prince to come. After all, the rift between the Yu family and the prince has not been eliminated, and it's not good for them to be too close.

Suddenly thinking of something, the old housekeeper looked at Yu Luohan and said, "There is a girl from the Cheng family by the old lady's side. She is gentle and generous, stunningly beautiful, and she and the prince are a perfect match."

Yu Luohan frowned: "What Miss Cheng?"

"It is the girl that the old lady brought with her when she came to Beijing this time. It is said that she is the legitimate daughter of the Cheng family and was engaged to the prince when she was young. The old lady brought her here, presumably for the prince to take a look."

Yu Luohan said, "When did I have an engagement? No one has ever mentioned this to me."

The old housekeeper smiled, "Back then, the eldest young lady of the Cheng family and the mistress of our Yu family were close friends, and they often brought Miss Cheng to visit the Yu family. When the old lady saw that the prince and Miss Cheng got along well, she jokingly said that the two kids looked like a young couple, and if the prince was interested in the future, she would let Miss Cheng be his wife."

Although everyone agreed with the joke between the two families, they also tacitly agreed that no one would mention it afterwards. After all, they were still young and there was no rush.

What's more, the daughter of the Cheng family is a legitimate daughter, and even if Yu Luohan wins the old lady's favor, he is still a concubine's daughter, so the two families did not publicize the matter.

After that, Yu Luohan and his mother were kicked out of the Yu family. The Cheng family didn't take the marriage seriously at all, and just treated it as a joke. No token of love was exchanged, but it was not a big deal.

Yu Luohan is obviously qualified now.

Yu Luohan didn't feel anything about it. Not to mention what happened back then, it wasn't settled. Even if they exchanged engagement tokens, what would it matter? The Cheng family had never mentioned it, so he naturally didn't acknowledge it.

The candidate for his wife can only be Su Ci, no one else.

"How old is Miss Cheng?"

The old butler replied: "Two years younger than the prince."

"Oh! They haven't even gotten married yet?" Yu Luohan's ridicule was too obvious, so the old housekeeper quickly explained: "The old lady said that this young lady of the Cheng family had a serious illness when she was young, and was sent to Yaowang Valley for medical treatment. She was not taken back to the Cheng family until she was sixteen years old."

"Medicine King Valley?" Yu Luohan's heart moved.

The old housekeeper nodded and said, "It was Medicine King Valley. She lived there for eight years. Not only did she recover from her chronic illness, but she also learned a lot of skills. That's why she missed the right age to get married."

“However, the eldest lady of the Cheng family’s medical skills come from Medicine King Valley. Although she is a little old, she is also the object of everyone’s scrambling for her.”

Not only is she beautiful, she also has superb medical skills. Such a person will never have trouble finding a husband.

Yu Luohan didn't say anything, just nodded and asked the housekeeper to go down.

If Miss Cheng is really an accomplished doctor, it would be a good opportunity.

The poison doctor didn't seem to be very friendly to him and he couldn't find him no matter what. It would be nice if this person could help him.

The poison in him has not been cured yet, which restricts his actions. He wants to find Wu Peiyi's whereabouts and make Su Ci fall in love with him again. He doesn't want to die.

……

Dingzhou, thousands of miles away

Su Ci was sitting in the VIP room of Dingzhou Auction House.

He was fiddling with an intricately carved wooden sign in his hand and listening to the bidding sounds from downstairs, feeling somewhat uninterested.

"Madam, isn't this the largest auction house in Dongyong? Is this it?"

Su Ci said: "Wait a little longer, maybe there will be a surprise."

Chunshui didn't have much hope for the surprise she talked about. They had been here for half a day and hadn't seen anything that could excite them. Was this auction house just like this?

The hammer sounded and another deal was completed.

"Everyone, the next item to be auctioned is a string of Buddhist beads. This string of Buddhist beads has a legendary story..."

The auctioneer downstairs was a delicate beauty, wearing a fiery red high-slit tight-fitting, waist-cinching long skirt that outlined her exquisite curves.

Her eyes are as beautiful as silk, her lips are as red as fire, and her beauty is breathtaking.

She raised her red lips and talked about the origin of the Buddhist beads.

Chunshui was stunned when he heard this, and said with emotion: "This is really a simple yet sophisticated Buddhist rosary. It turns out that it was once worn by a great monk. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a priceless treasure."

Su Ci did not comment. If you believe it, it exists. If you don’t believe it, it doesn’t exist. Buddha saves those who are destined to be saved. Is auctioning the Buddhist beads also for the purpose of making good karma?

She considered herself not to be someone with a connection to Buddhism, and did not pay much attention to the auction on the stage.

The price of the Buddhist beads was originally bid at three hundred taels, but it was soon raised to two thousand taels, and there was no sign of stopping.

"Three thousand taels!"

As soon as the words fell, everyone fell silent.

A string of wooden Buddhist beads costs three thousand taels. How can I put it? It's true that money can't buy what you love.

Su Ci couldn't help but look down.

The female host reacted quickly and started calling out prices once, then twice.

Just when he was about to strike for the third time, Su Ci suddenly saw the man sitting at the window of the box opposite.

I frowned, why is he here?

The person in the box was Prince Jia Xiao Che, and beside him was his long-time attendant named He Wei.

Xiao Che was seen staring straight at the wooden box of Buddhist beads on the stage.

Although her emotions could never be seen, Su Ci could understand his eyes strangely. They were eyes that showed she wanted something very much.

I remembered that Xiao Che was wearing a string of Buddhist beads on his left wrist, which was very similar to the one being auctioned on the stage.

Su Ci suddenly realized that Xiao Che came for the Buddhist beads, so why didn't he bid?

She had never seen Xiao Che staring at an object like that before, so she would buy it and give it to him as a gift to repay his kindness.

"Four thousand taels!"

Everyone gasped. Who is so rich? The bids were all one thousand at a time.

The emcee smiled so beautifully that everyone present felt dizzy.

Just as he was about to speak, he heard a voice from the next box: "Five thousand taels."

what?

What?

Five thousand taels! The entire auction house fell silent, and everyone craned their necks to see who was so arrogant.

Su Ci frowned, "Six thousand taels!"

Wow!

My eldest cousin started to make a scene, and people began to talk about it in low voices.

There was silence next door for a moment, and just when everyone was savoring the taste and deciding what to do, a sound was heard again.
