Chapter 344: Chapter 344: The Auction Ended

Liu Longwei who listened nonchalantly to the conversation earlier began to sit straight. He also wanted to know that.

"Why would I want to be involved in something like that? It is troublesome. I want to be a lazy person who lay around under the sun." Bai Xifeng said.

"Yeah... The higher the position, the more responsibilities you need to take." Bai Tingfeng nodded.

Bai Xiang also agreed. To be honest, he did not want his children to be involved with the royal family. However, he could not chase this one away. He glanced at Liu Longwei.

Liu Longwei grinned as he listened to Bai Xifeng’s answer. He was happy knowing his wifey did not want to be the crown princess. Yes, what was the good thing about becoming the crown princess?

Hou Tingguang was also glad that Bai Xifeng chose that answer. He felt that if Bai Xifeng chose the opposite answer, his master might probably prepare to overthrow Liu Jun from the crown prince position. It would be a disaster even though they could easily do that.

While they were talking, the auction finally ended. The three last pills were sold at the price of 870,000 taels, 956,000 taels and the last one at 1.4 million taels.

"Thank you for your extreme attention and also congratulations to the winners. I hope you are satisfied with the purchase. I declare the auction is finally over." Mo Yuemo said.

Hou Tingguang glanced at Liu Longwei. Liu Longwei noticed the look given and understood its meaning.

"Wifey, I need to return home right now." Liu Longwei said to Bai Xifeng.

"Eh, really?" Bai Xifeng did not expect that. She thought Liu Longwei would stick to her side and wanted to return to her house together.

"Hmm... My aide told me that I would just accompany you until the auction ended. Otherwise, I cannot go out tomorrow." Liu Longwei used Hou Tingguang’s name in this matter.

"Oh..." Bai Xifeng glanced at Liu Longwei.

Hou Tingguang shivered when he saw Bai Xifeng look at him. He did not know what Bai Xifeng thought and he did not want to know that.

"You need to listen to your aide. He is doing that for your own benefit." Bai Xiang was glad that his brat would not be coming home with them.

"Yeah. Go home." Bai Tingfeng nodded.

Liu Longwei and Hou Tingguang left first. Bai Xifeng told her father and brother to wait until the others left. She did not want to huddle with others. After a while, thinking that the crowd already decreased, the Bai Family exited the room. When they were about to go downstairs, they met Liu Wang and Su Jan Ying who were also about to go downstairs.

"Oh, General Bai, Junior General Bai, Lady Bai, what a coincidence." Liu Wang smiled while greeting the three of them.

Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng’s lips were twitching. Bai Xifeng rolled her eyes. She looked away letting her father and brother handle this man.

"Greetings to Your Highness. I don’t know you are here too." Bai Xiang saluted Liu Wang.

"I was in the private room. I think you are in the private room as well." Liu Wang said.

"Yes." Bai Xiang nodded.

"Oh, don’t tell me that the girl who bought the useless book is Lady Bai?" Liu Wang asked.

Hearing Liu Wang mention the word useless book, she glared at Liu Wang. Liu Wang noticed the glare and immediately apologized for his rude words.

"I am sorry for my poor choice of words. Hope Lady Bai accepts it." Liu Wang said.

"You better be careful." Bai Xifeng said.

Su Jan Ying could not stand Bai Xifeng’s behaviour toward the second prince. He could understand if they were Bai Xiang and Bai Tingfeng because of their position but Bai Xifeng was nothing in front of them. He wanted to retort but Liu Wang stopped him.

"Sure... I will take note of that. By the way, General Bai, I have something to discuss with you, do you have time to talk?" Liu Wang asked.

"May I know what it is about? You can talk in the morning court." Bai Xiang said.

"Well, it is more of a private matter." Liu Wang stated.

"Your Highness, you should know that Your Majesty will dislike his princes having a private meeting with His subject." Bai Xiang said.

"I know but it is not about the empire." Liu Wang said.

Bai Xiang wanted to say more but a servant from Shanghai Pavilion came over.

"Sir, you need to leave now." The servant said.

"I will go to your house tomorrow, General Bai." Liu Wang said and immediately left without waiting for Bai Xiang’s answer.

"That sly fox, how dare he leave like that?" Bai Xiang gritted his teeth.

"Father, let’s hear all at once what he wants to talk about. If the thing is not important, we can ignore it." Bai Tingfeng said.

Bai Xifeng watched Liu Wang and Su Jan Ying rush to leave. ’Why do I think I know what he wants to talk about? Well, like Big Brother says, we can ignore it if it is not important.’

By the way, Bai Xifeng still needed to come to Shanghai Pavilion to get her money. Her money increased. She would have to think about the three stores. She already had plans for those three stores.
