Shen Buyao didn't show the slightest sign of surprise, as if she was used to it.
"An old thing from the Yuan Dynasty. It's well-preserved and very valuable."
Shen Jiuyi remained as calm as still water.
"Oh, how valuable?"
Shen Buyao frowned tightly and changed her way of speaking.
"Valuable enough to buy all the costumes, accessories, wings, and dance rooms in your game..."
Suddenly, Shen Jiuyi's expression changed drastically. She stared at the box that Sister Hong was carefully putting away.
She said in an extremely exaggerated tone,
"What!!"
"Can it sell for so much money?"
"Just based on a red wooden plate?!"
Shen Buyao closed her eyes for a moment and then shouted at the top of her voice,
"That's a lacquered plate!"
"You've lived in the Shen Family for more than twenty years. Don't you have any common sense?"
"If you don't understand, just keep your mouth shut!"
"It makes it seem like our family is so unprofessional!"
"I f*** you..."
Shen Jiuyi blinked her eyes.
"What does it have to do with me? Name a relative and see what relationship they have with you."
Shen Buyao was like an enraged tigress. "!!!"
Lin Yu beside them. "..."
He thought Shen Jiuyi's calm appearance showed the composure of a big shot.
It turned out she was just a complete layman!
Could such a person buy the two jade artifacts in his hand?
Was there no one else in the Shen Family?
Could it be that the antique - loving sister just grabbed a little girl to try to fool him?
This was related to his future plan of living a life of luxury.
Of course, Lin Yu couldn't be easily fooled.
He took the initiative to speak kindly and asked,
"Sister Buyao, is this sister the 'Shen Family member' you mentioned who can take the other two jade artifacts in my hand?"
Shen Buyao. "Yes, it's her."
Shen Jiuyi. "It's not me. Don't talk nonsense. I have no money."
Shen Buyao. "Just shut up, you old cow!"
Lin Yu. "..."
His suspicion deepened again.
Hearing Lin Yu's words,
After putting away the Begonia - shaped lacquered plate, Sister Hong immediately leaned over.
"Yo? Young Master Lin Yu, you still have valuable treasures?"
"Buyao, this is your fault!"
"You should give one to your Aunt Hong's shop and keep two for yourself secretly?"
This time, Shen Buyao didn't need to explain.
Huang Feirong, who was hiding aside and hadn't left yet, boldly stepped forward and said,
"Mom, these two great treasures should still be given to Sister Buyao and Aunt Jiuyi."
"They are things that the Shen Family members should take in..."
"Come on, college student."
"Unzip your bag and take out the great treasures you've kept for so many years!"
Lin Yu. "..."
He really didn't dare to carefully ponder over every word of Huang Feirong.
Just when he thought she was going to be serious, she could always veer off into something strange.
Lin Yu unzipped his backpack.
He took out the two boxes containing the jade artifacts and opened them in front of the girls.
The moment the ancient jade, shining with a glorious light, revealed its true appearance,
The air in the room seemed to freeze a bit.
Sister Hong's voice trembled. "This, this is..."
Shen Jiuyi leaned closer. "This, this is... what is it?"
Shen Buyao said seriously with a complicated expression,
"I've carefully appraised them. It's correct..."
"They are the white jade dragon - headed ladle and... the 'Longevity' jade bi!"
Sister Hong was greatly shocked. "!!!"
Hearing the names, Shen Jiuyi. "!!!"
This sudden change in expression didn't escape Lin Yu's eyes.
This was more reasonable.
Even if she was an outsider, at least she was a member of the Shen Family.
She would definitely have some reaction to the names of the family's lost treasures.
Shen Jiuyi stared at the 'Longevity' jade bi for a long time.
Then she looked up in surprise, her eyes as if asking Shen Buyao for confirmation.
Shen Buyao nodded slightly, indicating affirmation.
Sister Hong also looked at it for a long time.
As an old - timer in the industry and the owner of the Guihang shop,
She naturally knew very well the relationship between the 'Longevity' jade bi and the Shen Family.
Although if these two treasures were put up for auction at the Guihang shop, it could greatly enhance the shop's reputation, perhaps even surpassing the three major underground auction houses.
But considering the relationship between the Huang Family and the Shen Family,
It couldn't be compared with money and reputation.
"Sure enough, the rich are young. Young Master Lin Yu, you're not simple."
"It seems you need some time to talk alone."
"Rongrong, come with mom. Let's go to the next room to check your homework."
Sister Hong very considerately made some space.
The soft conversation between the mother - daughter duo after they left didn't escape Lin Yu's sharp hearing...
Following her mother, Huang Feirong mumbled,
"Mom, you only graduated from high school. Who are you going to check on?"
Sister Hong. "Shut up. Can I check your virginity mark then?"
Huang Feirong. "Mom, are you making a movie? There's no such thing!"
Sister Hong. "Didn't you give it to him?"
Huang Feirong. "Do I look like that kind of impatient person? I'm much more reserved than you were back then."
Sister Hong. "What the hell did your dad tell you?"
"..."
After the Huang mother - daughter left,
Lin Yu finally had some peace in his ears.
Shen Buyao noticed Lin Yu's suspicion about Shen Jiuyi's "status".
She took the initiative to say,
"College student, let me formally introduce you."
"Shen Jiuyi, my... aunt."
"Now she's the decision - maker, the boss, the person in charge of the Shen Family... whatever you want to call it, anyway, she's the top person."
Lin Yu was stunned. "???"
It was like being struck by lightning in the head.
He had just accepted the idea that the girl was just named "Jiuyi".
Now he was told that Shen Jiuyi was really her aunt?
Didn't this bring them back to the topic of "her grandpa is in great health"?
Shen Jiuyi calmly continued,
"Rarely does Buyao admit our relationship in front of outsiders. Let me explain."
"Lin Yu, don't mind if I call you by your name directly."
"First of all, Buyao doesn't have a father..."
Lin Yu. "???"
Shen Buyao shouted angrily,
"Is it necessary to start from such a thing? You old cow!!"
Shen Jiuyi dodged the saliva sprayed by Shen Buyao.
"Aunt Jiuyi is talking. Don't interrupt."
Shen Buyao. "..."
Lin Yu could hardly imagine.
What kind of family background could produce such two people.
If someone else said such a thing, Shen Buyao would definitely have cursed wildly.
What kind of magical power did a girl two years older than her have to be able to control the antique - loving sister!
Seeing that Shen Buyao was silent, Shen Jiuyi continued to introduce,
"Her mother, my deceased sister, gave birth to her without getting married.
This is not a secret. Everyone in the circle knows it.
They also know about my background.
I'm the child adopted by my parents... that is, Buyao's grandpa and grandma.
Speaking of which, I have no blood relationship with her, but in terms of seniority, she has to call me... Aunt Jiuyi."
Lin Yu. "!!!"
Shen Buyao. "Do you want to report how many industries the Shen Family has and how much income it has in a year? It's just a deal of paying money and getting goods. Can't we just talk about the business directly?"
Shen Jiuyi. "Oh, Buyao, it seems you don't like to listen. Then I won't say anymore."
Shen Buyao. "..." "I like to listen! Keep talking, you b***h!"
Lin Yu. "..."
What kind of magical relationship was this!
The auntie that the elders of the Shen Family brought back from outside?
Even if they picked up a poor child, they could have given her to their own daughter and let her be the younger sister of the so - called antique sister!
Unless...
Before Shen Jiuyi was brought back, her identity was very special!
Of course.
These weren't the key points he should focus on.
The key point was...
Why was he being told all these?
He was just a seller. Did he really need to know about these complicated family relationships?
Shen Jiuyi continued, "Lin Yu, you can easily find out the rest of the story by asking anyone familiar with the antique circle in Pingchuan. The branch of the Shen Family that my sister Shen Buyao and I belong to is only half of the entire Shen Family. The side that can retrieve the so - called 'family heirloom' rumored to be lost overseas will take control of the whole Shen Family..."
Lin Yu: "!!!"

+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her.
