Love & Precious Treasures

The rich gentleman stepped forward but the middle-aged servant extended an arm to stop him. “Fourth Young Master, don't.”

The rich man roared, “That is my friend! Making him lose face is the same as making me lose face! And making me lose face means making the Zhan family lose face!”

The middle-aged servant's expression did not change. “This man's behaviour was inappropriate, do you really need to stand up for him, Young Master? If Eldest Master heard of your friends.h.i.+ps with people like this, he will punish you.”

The rich man laughed. “Great, now you're using his name to scare me again.”

A handmaiden came forward to feed Zhou Qingyang a Blossom Pill. Li Chengfeng saw it and slightly furrowed his brows. He turned to look up to the next floor but saw Sumei's face flash past a window. Little Bell, who had both hands under her chin supported by her elbows on the windowsill, grinned at Li Chengfeng. “Master Li lives up to his reputation as a man who prioritizes justice and love! News of you scolding Zhou Qingyang with such vigour will definitely spread!” As she spoke, she suddenly straightened up and pointed at Zhou Qingyang below, yelling, “Hey, what are you all standing there for? Carry him away quickly, I don't want him dirtying my Misses' floors!”

The workers standing around finally snapped back and scrambled to carry Zhou Qingyang away.

Qiu Liansheng nudged Li Chengfeng with his shoulder and muttered softly, “Sigh, I think you offended someone yet again!”

Li Chengfeng's eyes darted around to see the rich gentleman glaring furiously at him. It was only when he noticed Li Chengfeng's gaze when he looked away.

Li Chengfeng said helplessly, “Why must you say 'yet again'?”

Qiu Liansheng laughed heartily, “Yeah, why must I say 'yet again'?”

Upstairs, Little Bell said, “Sigh, what an awful day! Miss is tired and needs some rest. Everyone, go home.”

Everyone complained of the anti-climatic series of events.

The rich gentleman looked away from Li Chengfeng and looked up at the window upstairs. “Wait!”

Little Bell turned to look at him. “What do you want?”

“I insulted Lady Sumei with my gold and silver, and I apologise for that. But I have some treasures with me. If Lady Sumei is willing to meet me, I'd gladly give them to her!”

Little Bell snickered. “As if!”

The man shook his folded fan and grinned confidently, “Let's not speak too soon. You'll know its worth when you see it!” With the flick of a wrist, a small incense pot appeared in his palm.

This incense pot was small enough to fit in one's sleeve, the size of a baby's fist. However, it was dotted neatly with colourful gemstones, as well as etched with delicate, complicated images all around.

She snickered again. “It's just an incense pot, no? Who hasn't seen one? You think it can't be called an incense pot just because it has a few rocks on it?”

The man smirked. “Oh?” When he spoke, the incense pot floated midair, each gemstone glowing softly. The glows merged into colourful rays of light extending in all directions.

Everyone in the hall who came into contact with the rays felt instantly refreshed and slightly intoxicated. They couldn't help but cry, “It smells so good, so good!”

Li Chengfeng mused, “What is that? It's magical!”

When he saw that everyone was impressed by his treasure, the man with the fan said, “What do you think? This is the extremely rare Heaven Immortal Five Colours Incense. Even the ugliest person will slowly turn beautiful when bathed in the fragrance of this incense. If a beautiful girl uses this incense, she will retain her youth and beauty for a long time!”

The hall erupted in discussion. The men all straightened themselves, eyes wide and mouths agape. They were all familiar with courting girls, they naturally knew that if they could give this to any girl, chances were that she would likely accept it!

If this were auctioned off, the aristocratic ladies of the nor would definitely fight for this like their lives depended on it! Which lady was out of their reach if these men had a gift as precious as this?

Even the witty Little Bell stared at the incense with widened eyes, her breathing getting slightly heavier.

Which girl did not want a gift like that?
