Chapter 668: The Reputation and Prestige of Prince Mu’s Mansion

People always subconsciously believe their own eyes and are deceived by what they see.

While the other guests showed smiles as if they had seen through the truth, the Cheng brothers and sisters present felt very uneasy.

Shen Qingxi was really alive, and not as weak as she appeared.

She said she survived a disaster, do you really believe it?
Yes, they believed it.

If before this, many guests were still worried and afraid about Shen Qingxi's resurrection, then when they saw the strong-looking but weak-hearted girl in front of them, they couldn't help but relax.

At the same time, he also calmly accepted the fact that she was resurrected.

The weak can always make people let down their guard.

"Now it depends on who will take the bait."

Cheng Feng whispered to Cheng Xuefei: "Let's not act rashly. We don't need you to show up at this time."

Cheng Xuefei frowned and said, "Given the relationship between Shen Qingxi and I, if I don't take the initiative to find out the truth at this time, won't it arouse their suspicion?"

"What's your relationship with Shen Qingxi?"

"……good friend?"

"Just friends."

"Right."

"Don't just obey them blindly. That will only make them think you're easy to bully, just like Shen Qingxi is doing now."

"Be patient, someone will come forward."

As he was speaking, the auction had already officially begun, and the first items to appear were, of course, the various items brought by the guests.

"The following lot is a set of pure gold jewelry brought by Mr. Shi..."

Gold, silver, jade, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, all these things are of this kind. They are not particularly valuable, but they cannot be too cheap, nor can they dominate the show. It would be embarrassing for the boss to bring out things that do not belong to his or her own social class.

There were also reporters interviewing and taking photos at the scene.

If such an honorable matter is not reported, then what is the difference between it and walking in the night in gorgeous clothes?

Everyone's money was wasted.

Wang Yunxiao even saw something that looked very familiar at the auction.

It was the lady's watch that Li Mumu had taken a fancy to when she and Li Mumu were shopping together, and it was later bought by the Tang family brothers and sisters. Now it appeared at the auction again, and it was obvious that Tang Moli had taken it out again as an item provided by the Tang family.

The value is just right. It's a charity auction, so everyone can just show their appreciation. You can't do something earth-shattering like in a real auction.

This is a trap set by the Shen family. You bring here an antique worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. What's the difference between that and destroying their place?
The auction went smoothly. Each item went through only a few bids at most. Who was bidding on the item and who was bidding were actually things that everyone knew. The twists and turns behind it were not something that outsiders should know.

Until the real treasure came out, that is, the imperial seal.

At this time, some people had already started to leave.

Not everyone came to the auction for the imperial seal. For example, Wu Jingzhan, played by the eldest brother, was there on behalf of the director of the Water Affairs Bureau to show his support for the Shen family. As a public official, there are some occasions that must be attended, and there are others that are not so necessary.

The balance here is difficult to grasp and is not as simple as ordinary people think.

Wang Yunxiao noticed that the eldest brother had already followed another guest into the toilet, and seemed to want to continue the conversation. As for what he would do after going to the toilet, the people present probably wouldn't care.

Because their attention has been drawn to the imperial seal.

Everyone has only heard of this thing in operas, and basically no one has seen the real thing.

How the imperial seal was lost back then, and how it ended up in the hands of the Shen family, and how it has ruined the Shen family to this point, is a mystery.

Shen Qingxi returned to the stage holding the box containing the imperial seal and placed it in the display case. When the lights went down, everyone's eyes were involuntarily drawn to it.

The host spoke eloquently for a long time about the origin of the imperial seal, then picked it up and showed it to the guests, which caused exclamations and sighs from the guests.

Today was his chance to see the world. When he put the jade seal back to its original place and was about to raise the gavel to start bidding, the servant next to him suddenly handed him a waist badge.

"One hundred dollars."

A calm voice came from the guest seats.

Who is so ignorant of the rules? The host hasn't even started shouting yet...

Just when everyone was not paying attention, the host fell into silence, turned around and looked at Shen Qingxi for help.

Shen Qingxi whispered a few words, and the host's face recovered. He coughed and said loudly: "Okay, since the distinguished guest from Prince Mu's Mansion has offered a price of 100 yuan, let's start the auction today with 100 yuan as the reserve price!"

Prince Mu’s Palace?
This name once again caused an uproar at the scene, and everyone's eyes involuntarily turned to Mu Yuheng who had just shouted the price.

The name of Prince Mu’s Mansion is known to everyone, but the people in Prince Mu’s Mansion... no one has ever seen them, or they are not qualified to meet them.

When did this kind of big guy appear? Why is there no one recommending him?

Helan looked over curiously, but was held back by Wang Yunxiao.

"Mind your own business."

"Hey, someone from Prince Mu's Mansion!"

"It's just two eyes and a mouth, nothing to see."

After a brief uproar, the scene fell into dead silence.

The people from Prince Mu’s Mansion asked for one hundred yuan, do you dare to raise the price?
Do you want to embarrass others?

Seeing that no one responded, the host's tense expression relaxed a little. Just as he was about to drop the hammer, someone said, "One hundred yuan is just a drop in the bucket for the disaster area. It won't solve any problems. Since it's a charity auction, don't be so stingy. I'll add a jackpot, starting at ten thousand yuan!"

The person who spoke was the president of the Weimar Chamber of Commerce, Slander David.

Mu Yuheng glanced at him and said nothing.

Seeing that no one in Prince Mu's mansion was talking, the atmosphere at the scene became a little more lively.

I was shocked. It turns out that he was just passing by...

"Just in case."

It is difficult for everyone to challenge the reputation of Prince Mu's Mansion, but the face of foreigners is not so precious.

The Imperial Seal is a national treasure. To auction it off is already considered as a heinous crime by some pedantic people. How can we let foreigners snatch the opportunity to donate it?
If this gets out, everyone here will be too embarrassed to face anyone.

"twelve thousand!"

Seeing that people were bidding one after another, the host felt relieved and began to call out the names boldly.

"Mr. Song offers 15,000 yuan. Is there any more..."

"Twenty thousand!"

As the atmosphere at the scene became lively, the price went up faster and faster, until it soared to 60,000 yuan.

David spoke again: "The Weimar Chamber of Commerce offers one hundred thousand, one hundred thousand dollars!"

The bidding sound suddenly stopped.

The guests looked indignant. The foreigners were bidding without any moral ethics.

"Okay, the Weimar Chamber of Commerce offers $100,000? Is there a higher price than this?" the host asked loudly.

"one hundred."

Mu Yuheng spoke calmly.
