Triplets: Lucky Mommy is a Beautiful Badass-Chapter 436 - In the Auction House 1
Before sunrise, Dong Jing personally drove a carriage and entered through the rear entrance. He took down an extra-large box from the carriage and stealthily carried it all the way to Lu Yan’s yard. When he entered the study, Lu Yan was already waiting for him. After Lu Yan was done with the inspection, he sent Dong Jing to call Qi Qingyao over. Qi Qingyao put on her clothes with puzzlement after receiving the summon. She was brought to Lu Yan’s study before she could even freshen up. Dong Jing closed the door from the outside.
Qi Qingyao yawned and looked at the massive box in the study. Lu Yan motioned for her to open the box. Qi Qingyao was stunned for a moment, then she thought of something and carefully opened the box.
There were several soft gold interlayers inside the box. Many jade tablets were neatly arranged on each layer, and all of them were fully wrapped in red cloth.
Qi Qingyao randomly took one out and was shocked from just one glance.
The craftsmanship was so intricate.
It was almost identical to the one that she owned.
The rest of the details were also done very well. The only difference was the material of the jade. Another thing was their size; these were slightly smaller than the original.
The nephrite was very smooth and glossy.
On the other hand, the one she owned was jadeite of the finest quality.
Nevertheless, it was enough to trick people.
Qi Qingyao could not help but express her approval. “The quality is impressive.”
“Except that the material is different,” Lu Yan said, his lips pursed.
“It’s okay, it’ll do.” Qi Qingyao laughed.
Lu Yan was suddenly interested in some things about Qi Qingyao’s past, so he said, “I’ll get someone to send these things out in secret later, then have them shipped to pawnshops belonging to other chambers of commerce. After that, we just need to wait quietly for some news.”
Qi Qingyao thought for a while, then said, “Just to be safe, send some to the pawnshops under you as well. Otherwise, it’ll be too obvious that it was you, Lu Yan, who forged them.”
“You’re attentive, I was careless,” Lu Yan said graciously.
Qi Qingyao yawned again and was about to leave.
However, she was held back by Lu Yan.
“The thing that you want is probably going to be auctioned this afternoon, so you have to come with me.”
The thing that she wanted?
Qi Qingyao, who was not fully awake yet, froze momentarily and did not react. After a few seconds, her mind woke up. Could it be the Nine Star Pill of Omnipotence? Qi Qingyao hurriedly grabbed Lu Yan’s arm. “Do I have to show up in person?” If she personally went to the auction house, it would very easily arouse suspicion from all sides, so it was better if she went in disguise.
“There’s actually no such regulation.” Lu Yan did not understand why she asked such a thing.
Qi Qingyao gritted her teeth and said, “Then how about this? To be safe, Si Jin and I will both disguise ourselves as your servants. What do you think?”
“You are already my maid now,” Lu Yan reminded her.
Qi Qingyao, “…”
Oh, she just woke up and had momentarily forgotten that she had promised to be his maid for a month.
“Then I’ll head back and freshen up first before coming to serve you, Master?” Qi Qingyao shamelessly buttered up the man with a smile.
Lu Yan coughed lightly and motioned for her to get herself ready with a wave of his hand.
After Qi Qingyao returned to her room, she quickly freshened up and rushed back to Lu Yan’s courtyard.
Lu Yan was surprised by her enthusiasm.
Qi Qingyao quickly asked Lu Yan if there was anything she needed to do.
Lu Yan glanced at the few little maids that were sweeping the floor, then at Qi Qingyao, who was idle. He was about to tell her to go and sweep the floor together with the other, but then he thought that this fellow probably had never done such labor work before. He could not bring himself to issue the command, and did not say a word in the end.
