160 The Grand Auction 5 (2/2)

Xuan Li Wei did not see her smile as her back was facing him, but Lu Wen who sitting beside Moyin clearly saw this little brat's actions and he had to admit that he was amused by her actions. With a doting smile on his face, he rubbed her head ” En, we will clearly watch you. Go now…”

”Hmm…” Xia Lian was embarrassed by his sudden display of affection and strangely she liked this feeling. Lu Wen immediately retracted his hand not sure of what she was thinking about him. But his worries were unfounded as she took his hand and placed it on her head.

Jun Moyin: ”...” Is his sister-in-law a puppy?

Xuan Li Wei: ”...” My wife is too cute! Now, I am tempted to rub her head!!

Allowing herself to be spoiled for a while, Xia Lian hesitantly stepped out of the room into the corridor. She really like Lu Wen patting her head ah!

” Ladies…” Xia Lian's clear voice sounded out in the room silencing everyone.

” Doctor W-Wu, I think I can …” The auctioneer tried to persuade Xia Lian not to get involved in this argument. It was really not easy to silence the angry crowds, especially women. Moreover he was their honored client and how could they allow him to take any damages!

” They are finding problems with me and so it's only natural that I should be the one who clears up.” her voice left no room for any argument and the auctioneer found himself nodding his head.

” To all the ladies present here, I would like to ask you a few question. I would like to expect answers from all of you.”

” Why are you all so interested in poisons? Don't tell me that like to play with them?” she chuckled at that ” Your interest in bidding only makes it obvious that you want to kill someone.”

After this she suddenly changed her question which rendered all the men speechless for a moment before they burst out laughing ” To all the husbands here, tell me how many of you will eat the food cooked by your wife or concubines without testing them?”

The laughter from all the men broke the tense atmosphere in the room. What she said was true and with each man having three wives and four concubines who knew which one of them would plot against him? It was only in the fear for their life that they check the food for any traces of poison and this matter was also known by all the women here, so they were unable to lift their heads out of shame.
