The Rebirth of the Strongest Female Emperor

24: Treasure Pavilion 3

The assistant ignored Ye Qingtang even though he had been standing in front of the counter for a while. However, he came in an instant once he saw Duan Tianrui waving his hands.

"Master Duan, how can I help?"

Duan Tianrui pointed to Flora's moonstone displayed on the counter: “Release this. ”

Assistant immediately took out the moon rock from his screen, “This Flora moon rock just arrived yesterday. I'm afraid you can't find anything else resembling a sparkle in this world. ”

Duan Tianrui was satisfied with his quality after a closer inspection. Not forgetting his opponent, he raised his eyes and looked at Ye Qingtang.

"How much does this cost?"

The assistant replied, “Thirty thousand gold. ”

The price he quoted was "hard" enough to attract the attention of other customers inside the boutique.

For a moon stone the size of a pea is worth thirty thousand gold a defeat!

Heaven knew that price was not the amount that ordinary people could earn in a lifetime.

Even nobles may have difficulty handing out exorbitant amounts.

"Thirty thousand… . Miss Ye, are you still interested in this? "Duan Tianrui observed Ye Qingtang. He had long known from Duan Tianrao, that the Great Elder had subverted all authority from Ye Ling, the head of the Ye household. So as her daughter, Ye Qingtang could be considered a "household lady" just in name. He had never been able to afford such a large sum of money now that his family's finances were controlled by the Great Elder as well.

Ye Qingtang narrowed his eyes, emitting a cold gaze.

Some of the surrounding customers stared at this competition between the two households, but when they realized Ye Qingtang was the one representing the Ye household, they shook their heads silently.

Summing up all the rumors that were circulating made everyone realize, this hostess Ye was no longer as appreciated as she once was.

How was he going to compete with Duan Tianrui?

An attendant accompanying his master was at a corner observing the jade collection as he traced his gaze towards the commotion. He was surprised by what he witnessed before telling his master quickly:

"Young master, it's Miss Ye!"

Si Bai put down a piece of white jade, before turning his head in the direction the attendant pointed at. From the crowd, he could distinguish a petite yet familiar figure.

"You Qingtang?"

"Young master, it seems like Miss Ye has been arguing with a member of the Duan family. How about we go and take a look around? ”The officer asked carefully.

Si Bai was in no hurry to give an answer but simply observed from a distance, at the girl standing alone as her eyes glittered with amusement. He chuckled and shook his head, “That's not necessary. He's got a way with it. ”

Ye Qingtang's smile was too familiar, as when he was competing with his grandfather in the Si household, he exuded a confident and triumphant attitude.

But Si Bai did not turn his gaze away, as he was curious about how he would resolve this predicament.

On the other hand, Duan Tianrui maliciously enjoyed every single one of his difficulties while playing around with the moon rocks in his hands.

He had long been dissatisfied with the engagement between Ye Qingtang and Duan Tianrao. His older brother, a female man, has to face a wife who is as sinister as him? Thank goodness their engagement was cancelled. Without that relationship, he would no longer need to play well with her.
