After browsing the antiques and ornaments on the first floor, Mingyue picked out a few pieces she liked and some she planned to give as gifts, then followed the group to the second floor.

"On the second floor, these are all larger treasures, and over there are things from Western Ning, collected at the border." Lin Siyu walked in front and introduced.

"Is this... the golden jade suit?" Mingyue looked at the creepy human-shaped jade suit in front of her, placed in the center.

"Yes, the jade is strung with gold threads."

"Rumor has it that if gold and jade are placed in the nine orifices, the deceased will become immortal." Lord Wen looked at the gold-threaded jade garment in front of him in wonder. "I heard that in the past, only nobles could wear it when buried. This...?"

Lin Siyu explained, "This was prepared by the last emperor of the previous dynasty for use after his death. However, he was torn apart by five horses before he could even use it. The gold-threaded jade suit has been preserved by the craftsman's descendants to this day."

"I don't know if it's because of the gold-thread jade burial suit, but the craftsman's family was once a prominent local clan. Hundreds of years later, only one branch of the clan remains."

"A few years ago, the craftsman's descendants were uneducated and in debt. They had to sell their property. Everyone thought this thing was unlucky, so my great-grandfather bought it for a low price."

"Originally, I wanted to keep it to pass it down, but now that I've opened an antique shop, I'm keeping it as my treasure."

Mingyue listened to this series of bizarre things and felt that the thinking of everyone in the Lin family was a little abnormal. This thing looked weird at first glance, so why did they bring it home?

Could it be that their family's power is equal to theirs, mutually reinforcing and counteracting each other? So they've always lived in peace and harmony?

Mingyue didn't say anything more and continued reading.

Mingyue was surprised to find a Western clock as tall as a person at the Sunset Antiques section.

"This is a Western clock, and I'm not very good at reading it..." Lord Wen finally encountered a problem.

"I know this! Persia's sister told me about it a while ago!"

Then, the big and the small one pointed at the surface and started talking. A lot of people started to gather around them. "So, this thing can tell the time?"

"Does a clock just mean telling time?"

"With it, I don't have to look at the sky anymore."

"Come on, look at the workmanship, it's so exquisite, and it's inlaid with big gems. The price is too high for us to afford."

Although this is what they said, everyone still walked around here with great interest, curious to know how the watch actually worked.

"I want justice!"

"Unscrupulous profiteer!! Pay the money now!"

"Excuse me, sir. Please refrain from making noise here."

Mingyue looked down and saw that someone seemed to be causing trouble. "What's going on? Why are there so many people coming here in such a threatening manner?"

"Sister Mingyue, you guys stay upstairs now and don't come down. It seems like someone is causing trouble. Please be careful. I'll leave you now." Lin Siyu hurried downstairs.

Lord Wen had heard a lot about Mingyue from his eldest son, so he naturally knew that the little girl loved to join in the fun, so he took her to the nearest place.

"Call your boss out! I bought this from your house."

"Look, this is still in the Lin family's packaging."

"The Lin family still wants to deny it!"

"Report to the official! Report to the official!"

The big man in the lead looked like a nouveau riche, dressed in gold and silver, with a row of servants following behind him.

Whether they were customers in the antique shop or ordinary people passing by outside, they all stopped to look.

The shopkeeper held Lin Siyu behind him and said, "Sir, could you please tell me when you bought this treasure in our store? Who brought you there? Who wrote the order for it?"

"I bought it at your house. Who cares about that day? Do you have time to give your testimony?"

The nouveau riche stood at the door, hands on hips, accusing the Lin family of inaction in a loud voice.

Someone nearby believed in the Lin family and kindly asked, "Sir, the Lin family is a well-known merchant in the capital. They wouldn't be selling fake goods, would they? Would you mind showing us all the documents and receipts?"

"Yes, I bought a small earring a while ago, and they gave me a beautiful receipt, saying that if I want to sell it in the future, it can be used as a receipt."

But who knew that the more people said this, the more he jumped up and down, "Who do you think you are? Oh, his Lin family is well-known, but I, Wang Erhu, have no face?"

"Back in Shanzhou, I could stuff you back into your mother's belly with just one word."

Everyone was upset by his words. They tried to advise him and give him suggestions with good intentions, but were scolded.

Lord Wen's eyes lit up when he heard this. Shanzhou? He even said something to him? Did he really think he was a local emperor? Interesting.

It turns out that following the little princess is such a happy thing!

The eldest son really doesn’t know how to enjoy life!

How about asking the Emperor to let me find a job with the little princess? That would be better than worrying about which festivals are coming up and which activities to attend every day.

"How about we report it to the police?" the shopkeeper suggested.

"I just said I'd report it to the police, but you refused. Now I'm not going either. You have to pay me back. I'll return your things and give me my money back!"

Mingyue was speechless. Isn't this just a rogue act? Ask the secret guard to invite someone.

When Wen Xun arrived, before he saw the people causing the trouble, he first saw an old man and a child waving at him from the second-floor window, their eyes full of joy.

I just heard the secret guard report that the young princess is in big trouble, so I put the case aside and rode over here, but this is the result?

"The official is coming, the official is coming!"

"We are from the Dali Temple. May I ask which of you reported the case?"

Lin Siyu recognized Wen Zhi's elder brother and popped his head out from behind the shopkeeper. "It's me, it's me, I reported the case."

Wen Xun looked carefully and wondered where the big winter melon came from.

Lin Siyu: Are you polite? You are just wearing a green dress.

"Brother Guanye, this guest said he bought a fake from the Lin family's antique shop and is now demanding compensation from our Lin family."

The upstart who had been furious just now suddenly quieted down. "Sir, it's no big deal. I just asked them to pay me some money. I didn't even ask them to pay double the amount. I'm already very considerate."

Wen Xun had a table moved and placed the fake vase on it. He examined it carefully for a long time, then glanced at Lord Wen upstairs and chuckled, "It is indeed a fake."

The people around were a little puzzled. How could this official appraise treasures?

"Sir, how did you know it was a fake? What's your trick?"

"My lord, you still have this ability."

"Could he be in cahoots with this big guy?"

Wen Xun looked at the sarcastic man in the crowd and said, "Oh, I wonder what this gentleman's opinion is?"

The man had many pockmarks on his face. He lowered his head and hid in the crowd, not saying a word.

Wen Xun then explained to the group, "This authentic vase happens to be in my father's collection, and I've heard a little about it. Look here, there's a clear uneven glaze."

"But the most noteworthy thing about this vase was that the extremely complex pattern was clear and distinct."

"Therefore, this must be false."

The upstart laughed heartily. "I told you, you're selling fake goods. Pay me back now. Even the officials can be my witnesses."
