Chapter 169: The Danger of Counterfeit Goods

The purpose of the pawnshop was to be open and transparent. From the inspection to the evaluation of the price, it was a formal procedure.

This made the people feel more at ease.

The things they brought over were uneven.

It really made them meet a few unborn treasures, but most of them were worthless.

Su Yan had no choice but to set up a display case in the shop. Items that were not up to the auction level would be priced by the owner himself and placed on the display case. If someone needed to trade with them, the pawnshop would also take 10% of the profits.

Because of this, Zhang Sheng had been very busy recently, and there was an endless stream of people who came to appraise items.

He even called all of his brothers over to help.

These people had researched all sorts of things. Previously, they had been depressed, and it could be seen that they had not been doing well. They also cherished this opportunity very much.

After Su Yan was done with her work, she also returned to the room where they were appraising.

When they saw her, they all stood up and bowed.

Su Yan smiled and nodded. She did not put on any airs of a princess consort.

When she saw Liu Meiniang, Su Yan’s eyes lit up and she walked over.

She wanted Liu Meiniang to be the host of this auction.

Liu Meiniang raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Yan’s pleading eyes. She asked, “Why are you looking for me?”

Su Yan smiled and said, “Because sister is beautiful.”

This was the truth. Liu Meiniang standing there was a scene of her own. It would definitely stimulate a woman’s desire to buy.

Liu Meiniang’s eyes gradually deepened. She looked at Su Yan’s white and clean smiling face and said, “Alright. How will sister thank me?”

Su Yan was a little puzzled by her sudden approach, but she was still very happy to hear that she had agreed.

She said, “How about I give you 10% more of the commission for this auction?”

Liu Meiniang shook her head with a smile and said, “How about sister agrees to a request of mine?”

Su Yan was a little hesitant, but she added, “I won’t make things difficult for you.”

Only then did Su Yan nod her head.

She excitedly picked up the clothes and gestured at her body. She was too suited for red clothes, so she took the clothes and went to get the tailor to modify them.

Liu Meiniang put down the gem in her hand. The charm on her face disappeared, and she became a little cold.

When she returned to the jewelry store, she was asked again by the man in white, “Master, why did you agree to Princess Consort Guang Pingwang’s request? Did you forget before you exposed yourself? What if you were discovered…”

“Alright, I can’t hide forever. I’ve had enough of this kind of life.” Liu Meiniang looked at the moonlight outside the window, her expression uncertain.

The man in white looked at her and opened his mouth, but he could not bring himself to question her.

On the day of the auction, Liu Meiniang changed into the clothes that Su Yan had prepared. The bright red clothes were embroidered with purple patterns. The colors that were recognized by others were eye-catching, and they matched perfectly with her body.

The moment he walked out, everyone’s eyes revealed a touch of amazement.

Liu Meiniang came to Su Yan’s side and said with a smile, “Sister, am I beautiful?”

Su Yan quickly nodded and said, “You’re really beautiful.”

The sincerity in her eyes made Liu Meiniang reveal a smile. She patted her head and said, “I’m going up.”

The moment Liu Meiniang appeared, it caused a moment of silence. Women were naturally not fond of beautiful, especially attractive women.

However, a few words from Liu Meiniang had caused the entire crowd to cheer for her.

With the experience from last time, they were extremely successful this time.

A servant suddenly rushed over and said something to Su Yan.

Su Yan’s expression changed and quickly followed him to the place where the gemstone was sealed.

After a few glances, she said, “Call Zhang Sheng over.”

Zhang Sheng quickly came over and Su Yan directly handed the gemstone in her hand to him.

Zhang Sheng was shocked. This gem was fake.

He looked at the other gems. Some were real and some were fake. However, they were not allowed to check them one by one at this moment. However, they could not just put these gems up for auction.
