Zhao Xiang'er urged, "Sister You Ning has left. These are all belongings to Duke Dingguo. Do you still want to bid here?"

Only then did everyone realize that this chubby and exquisite beauty was Chen Youning, that strange woman who was treated with special attention by the King of Jin.

They couldn't help but look at it carefully.

Her skin is like cream, her color is like peaches and plums, and her eyes are as clear as lake water. The autumn sky is reflected on the lake surface, showing a clean and pure blue.

The clothes she wears are exactly the Yun brocade that has been making a lot of noise recently. The brilliance complements her clarity and is breathtaking.

Most of the older ladies expressed admiration and admiration. In their eyes, such a fatter woman is more blessed and easier to have children. If she has a good appearance and good bearing, she would be perfect.

They understood very well why King Jin, who had never been close to women, fell in love with her. How many men could resist such temptation?

But young girls think differently.

Their eyes are jealous and critical.

Prince Jin is the dream girl of countless women, but now his thoughts are occupied by this fat and lowly girl in front of him. How can he not make them angry?

Han Youning ignored everyone's looks.

With a look of surprise on her face, she pointed to a peacock in a glass box with its tail spread and golden steps, and asked Han Qingwan, "Cousin, how come you have such a step?"

The shape of the step is elegant and unique. There is a peacock with its tail spread out on the flower branch. The peacock's tail is inlaid with sapphires, and a pair of pendant beads hanging from the lower end are two emeralds, which are emerald green.

Han Qingwan's words just now suppressed the situation. She felt much relieved and deeply felt the intimidating power of the title Duke Dingguo.

Hearing Han Youning ask this, she relied on the confidence her mother gave her and smiled slightly, "What does the county master mean? Why can't I take this step?"

After all, my mother is also the daughter of the dignified Marquis Yongning and the Minister of Household Affairs, so the dowry must be generous, so what does this prestige mean?

Han Youning said calmly, "Because this step was made by the Chen Family Yinlou. My grandfather designed it by hand and made two in total. One was given to my aunt and the other was given to me."

There were whispers all around.

"I just said that the craftsmanship is different from that in the capital. It turns out that it comes from Xiangping Prefecture."

"Miss Chen's aunt, isn't she the late Mrs. Dingguo Gong?"

"Then isn't this step... stolen?"

Han Qingwan's face turned red and white. This step was given to her by her mother. She thought it was her mother's own, but it was actually taken from her aunt!

She said displeasedly, "Does the county master charge me with just such a word out of thin air?"

Han Youning said, "If you don't believe me, cousin, look at the back of the hairpin to see if it has the word 'Man' engraved on it."

Shopkeeper Ding, who had been observing the situation here, came over. He glanced at Han Qingwan briefly and took the key to open the box.

Zhao Xiang'er quickly picked up the step and looked at the back of the peacock carefully.

"There really is a word for 'man'! How can you say that!"

Just say it! As soon as Sister You Ning opens her mouth, Han Qingwan will definitely be in trouble!

Others also took it over carefully to check, "Oh, it's really true..."

Han Qingwan secretly regretted that she only wore it once and then put it away. The word was engraved so discreetly that she didn't notice it at all!

Han Youning said, "If my cousin still doesn't believe it, I can send someone back to get my hairpin. Mine is engraved with the word 'Ning', and the rest of it is exactly the same."

Han Qingwan's face turned red and she said forcefully, "I heard that my eldest aunt is close to my mother, or maybe it was a gift from her..."

Shopkeeper Ding took the step shake and inspected it. He frowned and said, "Miss Han doesn't know something. The gems on this step shake are valuable, especially the pair of emeralds, which are extremely rare cat's eye emeralds. This is

Zhibuyao, even without bidding, I'm afraid I won't be able to buy it for 20,000 taels of silver."

There was a sound of breathing all around.

Who would give such an expensive step away, designed by his father himself?

Shopkeeper Ding continued, "I'm not very talented. I'm not good at anything else, but I have some skills in appraising treasures. These heads and faces on display all use the same craftsmanship. Since this peacock hairpin was made by the Chen Family Silver House, so are the others.

From Chen Jia Yin House.”

Shopkeeper Ding has been in charge of Qingchun Tower for many years and is quite famous in the capital. What he said is solid and everyone is convinced.

One piece may really be a gift, but with so many pieces, the price is already astronomical, so the truth is self-evident.

Everyone was talking about it, "Oh, I don't dare to buy it from someone whose origin is unknown. No matter how good it looks, it's uncomfortable to wear it."

"Ding Guogong has not remarried, so the first lady's dowry will not be taken care of by the second lady, right?"

"That's right, so many good things are cheap for others..."

Shopkeeper Ding had a worried look on his face and said to Han Qingwan, "I have said before that the origin of the treasure must be upright. Now, these top-notch shops cannot sell it."

Han Qingwan weakly supported several cases.

Shopkeeper Ding's words almost concluded in public that her head and face were stolen. Everyone present was of high status, and most of them were relatives of the emperor and had high family status.

If I can't get rid of the suspicion of theft, I'm afraid I will no longer have a foothold in the capital.

She forcefully explained, "My eldest aunt has been dead for more than ten years. How could I know that there was something unknown back then? How could I know that my mother asked someone to go to Xiangping Mansion to buy it?"

Shopkeeper Ding smiled coldly, "Then wait until the young lady proves the innocence of this man, and then come to Qingchun Tower."

He called a few guys over and ordered, "Open the box, take out all the heads and faces, and return them to Miss Han."

The guys responded in unison and dispersed.

Shopkeeper Ding cupped his fists and cupped his hands in all directions, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen, the concert is canceled today, and all your expenses will be waived. I would like to apologize to you all."

"It's unfair for Shopkeeper Ding to be so biased."

A clear voice came from upstairs.

Shopkeeper Ding looked up and saw the third prince Zhao Yin standing in front of the window.

He raised his hand to Zhao Yin and said, "Your Highness, Third Prince, I have always been impartial. I dare not favor anyone."

Zhao Yin sneered, "Any precious person has dealt with countless owners. How can you be fair in Qingchun Tower by making such rash judgments?"

Shopkeeper Ding smiled and said, "I don't dare to make any judgments. It's just that these are valuable and involve Duke Dingguo's wife. If you don't know the origin, who would dare to buy them and offend Duke Dingguo?"

Zhao Yin had a sullen face, it was obvious that even if the singing and selling continued, no one would buy it.

When Han Qingwan saw that the third prince was actually here, hope was ignited in her heart.

What she needs at this time is the support of such a powerful person to guide the direction of public opinion.
