As the final item came up for auction, only after the host had introduced it to the guests did they find out that this last item was Young Marshal Mu’s personal item.

Liang Xiuqin, who was still feeling befuddled, was shocked and breaking out in a cold sweat when she heard the name of the Longyun Jade Seal’s owner.

Everything she couldn’t understand moments before all suddenly made sense.

But she didn’t believe that the wretched girl had anything to do with Young Marshal Mu.

If they didn’t have connections, how did the jade seal return to the storage room?

Or…was the one they gave her fake after all?

But she’d clearly instructed Liang Xinyi to put the seal in that wretched girl’s bag. So how did it disappear?

These puzzles in her head felt like a cloud of mist. No matter how she racked her brains, she couldn’t wrap her head around it.

Now, her only thought was how fortunate it had been that the jade seal had been returned.

Otherwise, if she’d offended Young Marshal Mu, the entire Yun family would have suffered.

Yun Ziling looked at the name on the screen and the jade seal, and then nervously looked toward Liang Xiuqin. When she saw her ghastly white face, she tugged at her arm anxiously.

“Mom…d*mn it! The jade seal was Young Marshal Mu’s personal item?” They could have gotten into huge trouble.

“Don’t panic!” Liang Xiuqin shook her head at Yun Ziling and Liang Xinyi.

None of the three dared speak any more. They had already suffered embarra.s.sment, so at the moment they had no choice but to keep a low profile.

When the auction ended, the Longyun Jade Seal had been bought back by Mu Feichi.

For some inexplicable reason, Jiang Henglin had originally wanted to bid on the jade seal, but he hadn’t expected Mu Feichi to throw money at it and win it back.

Jiang Henglin dared not compete with Mu Feichi in terms of financial resources, so no matter how much he wanted it, he had to relent.

After the auction ended, old Madame Chen told Yun Xi to stay behind and instructed her staff to inform Yao Ying.

Yao Ying deliberately looked toward Liang Xiuqin, who had an unsightly expression on her face, and sneered.

“In terms of today’s incident, you’d better give father an account when you return home.”

The situation had gotten so out of control that they had almost gone to jail. They had suffered complete embarra.s.sment in front of so many upper-cla.s.s elites. Yun Yuanfeng would probably have a fit, not to mention the old man.

Liang Xiuqin suppressed her humiliation and gritted her teeth. “What are you being so smug about?”
