Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

The wife of Marquis Wuning was speechless. He had just rushed to bid, so it seemed that he was not a fool, but others were.

"It's Princess Liang."

There is nothing to hide about this. Anyway, according to Princess Liang's personality, she will definitely wear this headdress to show off in the future. Qiao Haomin will know it sooner or later.

"It's her? Hahaha... Good, that's great."

Qiao Haomin disliked Prince Liang, thinking he was so fake and pretentious. Take the matter of women, for example. It was natural for men to like women, but Prince Liang insisted on creating this image of deep affection for himself. Ugh, didn't he think he knew? Wasn't Prince Liang just attracted to her money? Otherwise, he was just a prince born to a palace maid, how could he have become the Prime Minister?

But others still say good things about him, and he feels suffocated, thinking that those who say good things about him are fools.

Now, seeing Princess Liang spend a lot of money to bid for a set of headwear, he felt relieved. Didn't Princess Liang have a lot of money? It was normal for her to spend more. He felt a little regretful. If he had known earlier, he would have lifted the price twice more and let Princess Liang pay more.

The wife of the Marquis of Wuning had no idea what he was laughing at. After the matter was settled, she planned to leave: "I'll have Lu Sheng send you the design drawings in a few days. If you're satisfied, I'll have someone make it to order."

Qiao Haomin smiled and nodded: "Okay, thank you, ma'am."

The wife of Marquis Wuning returned to the private room where Princess Liang was. Princess Liang was looking at the jewelry pieces with great interest.

Seeing her come back, Princess Liang raised her eyelids and asked, "Where have you been?"

The wife of the Marquis of Wuning said: "Go and persuade those who are vying with you for the top spot."

Princess Liang looked up in surprise: "You were the one who stopped others from snatching it from me?"

She asked why the person who was fighting with her fiercely at the beginning suddenly became silent, and she thought he had run out of money.

The Marquis of Wuning's wife sat down and said with a smile, "In the past, I only mentioned the princess's name and she automatically gave up. That's the problem with bidding. You can't even see who the other party is, but you're so bold and reckless in bidding. If they had known you liked this headgear, they definitely wouldn't have competed with you and raised the price so high."

Princess Liang felt very relieved after hearing what the wife of Marquis Wuning said. In the past, none of the noble ladies took her seriously. They were respectful to her on the surface, but they did not give her any face at all, so she always wanted to gain a advantage. Otherwise, she would not have spent such a high price to buy a set of headgear.

In fact, she regretted it when the maid brought in the headwear to collect the money. Although she shouted happily, she still felt distressed when she took out the silver. What's more, she didn't have enough silver. She didn't want to spend so much silver when she went out, so she didn't bring so much with her. She would have to send someone back to get it later. She was really afraid that King Liang would blame her if he knew.

Even though King Liang had always been good to her, she knew his temper. If she delayed important matters, King Liang would definitely get angry.

King Liang asked her to come here to make friends with the Wuning Marquis' Mansion, but she didn't do anything and instead spent so much money.

Princess Liang finally remembered the important matter. She smiled and took the hand of the wife of Marquis Wuning and said, "You are so kind. I come from a poor family, and they always looked down on me. That's why I don't like to go out, and I'm not familiar with you. But when I saw you today, I felt a sense of familiarity. We should interact more often in the future, so that I can have someone to talk to."

Although the wife of the Marquis of Wuning wanted to pull her hand away, she held back. She smiled and replied, "Princess, please don't talk about whether my family background is good or bad. There's nothing wrong with being a merchant. Food, clothing, housing, and transportation all require money. Without money, who can still act arrogant and pretend to be rich? You see, I'm holding this auction to make more money, just like you, Princess."

Princess Liang was overjoyed at these words. She clapped the hand of the Marquis of Wuning and said, "That's right, those ladies love money like their lives, yet they look down on those of us who earn money. They are so hypocritical.

Your auction is very good and novel. We should exchange business experiences more often in the future."

The wife of Marquis Wuning did not want to have much contact with Princess Liang, so she said, "How could I know anything about business? This was all caused by my stinky boy. I just came to help. I thought it would be good for him to have a job so that he wouldn't have to hang around the streets every day."

Princess Liang did not realize that Lady Wuning was rejecting the idea, and she even pulled Lady Wuning aside and continued praising Qi Lusheng.

Until someone knocked on the door and shouted, "Madam, the young master is looking for you."

The wife of the Marquis of Wuning then pulled her hand away and smiled sheepishly, "Princess, I'm truly sorry. I'm really busy today and have many things to attend to later. I'll treat you well when I have time later."

Princess Liang felt a little regretful, but she also knew that the wife of the Marquis of Wuning would be busy today, so she stood up and said, "I should go back too. I didn't bring enough silver today. I'll have someone send it to you later."

The wife of the Marquis of Wuning smiled and refused. "No, I won't accept the remaining money. Princess, you've already supported us by bidding on so many things today. How dare we charge you more? I just said that if I had known it was you who wanted this headpiece, the price wouldn't have been so high. Although it's a bidding war, the highest bidder wins, but it's inappropriate to exceed the product price by so much."

Princess Liang was so happy in her heart, thinking that the wife of Marquis Wuning was very capable, but she pretended to be angry and said, "Look at you, why do you still think you earn too much?"

The wife of Marquis Wuning smiled and replied, "Yes, I'm afraid I'll earn too much and won't be able to sleep."

Princess Liang burst out laughing: "You are really a wonderful person."

After seeing off Princess Liang, the wife of Marquis Wuning and Qi Lusheng began to count the accounts. They were shocked to find that almost all the goods had been sold at high prices. The net profit was as high as more than 200,000 taels. This was when they only received half of the silver from Princess Liang for the headdress. If they had received all of it, it would have been more than 300,000 taels.

Most of the things were provided by the Wuning Marquisate and the Emperor, but the event planning and drawings were provided by Su Qin, so they were divided equally among the three parties.

Qi Lusheng went to Zeng's home with the banknotes.

Mr. Zeng had already returned home. He was complaining to Su Qin, "You don't understand. Those people act like money is blowing in the wind, constantly raising the price. My old friends haven't been able to buy anything. They are all scholars. How can they be as rich as those corrupt officials?"

Su Qin said with a smile: "You can't say that someone is a corrupt official just because he is not as rich as others. Who doesn't have some property?"

Zeng Lao snorted coldly: "All crows are black. How many people in the officialdom are honest?"

Su Qin comforted him, "Okay, don't be angry. Isn't it time to give out New Year gifts? Make a list of what your friends want and I'll prepare it. Why would we spend money to fight with outsiders for things that belong to us?"

Zeng Lao objected: "No, you will spoil those old guys like this. They will come to you for everything they want in the future."

Su Qin: "No, Grandpa is such an upright and honest person, your friends won't be bad either. They are not greedy people. Besides, they came to my family recognition banquet last time and did me a favor. I should give them a thank you gift."

Mr. Zeng felt relieved after hearing this and no longer objected.

Qi Lusheng came and told Su Qin everything that happened today and the final result. Then he asked nervously, "Will you blame my mother for taking the initiative to not take less money from Princess Liang?"
