"Sir, should we get rid of the second mistress as soon as possible?"
In a high - class club, the bodyguard reported this morning's incident to Shen Siyan.
"Just give her some lessons," Shen Siyan said. His well - defined fingers gently traced the edge of the wine glass, and his phoenix eyes were filled with coldness. "Keep an eye on Shi Wan."
He had been too careless yesterday and almost fallen into the second mistress's trap. Fortunately, everything turned out fine in the end. However, Shi Wan's performance had really surprised him.
Who would believe that a woman with such great capabilities would be willing to marry a dying man like him without any ulterior motives?
"Yes, sir."
"What's the reply from that side?"
Mentioning this, the bodyguard's face was full of strangeness and uneasiness. "The divine doctor said... said for us to... go to hell."
"..."
After his words fell, the private room seemed to be frozen, silent and cold. The oppression emanating from the man made the few people present wish they could dig a hole and disappear on the spot!
It was well - known that the divine doctor had a strange temper. She didn't care about power or influence when it came to prescribing medicine. It all depended on her mood and impression of the patient. If she was in a bad mood, even if a knife was held to her neck, she wouldn't budge an inch.
The situation of telling them to go to hell... obviously meant she was in a bad mood.
"Find her."
"Yes, sir."
...
On the third day, after just finishing acupuncture treatment on Shen Siyan, Shi Wan took out a small bottle from somewhere and threw it to him.
"One pill a day."
Shen Siyan took the bottle and asked calmly, "Where did you get this medicine?"
"I picked it up."
Shen Siyan glanced at her, as if his face was saying, "Do you think I'm a fool to be easily deceived?"
"A friend got it at an auction. Since they didn't need it, they just threw it to me as trash," Shi Wan said. Seeing his distrustful look, she put away her perfunctory attitude and gave an even more perfunctory reason seriously. "Don't worry. It won't kill anyone."
Noting her insincerity, Shen Siyan didn't pursue the topic. "It's the third day. Do you need me to accompany you when you return to your maiden's home?"
"I'm not going back," she said, glancing at the garden outside and subconsciously rolling up her sleeves. "I'll just get scolded if I go back. Moreover, I'm too lazy to pretend to be nice to them. It's tiring."
She turned her head. "Second Young Master, the garden outside seems to be of no use."
"What do you want to do?"
The man stood in front of the French window, wanting to ask if she couldn't see the rare flowers planted in the yard.
"I'm used to doing farm work in the countryside. This garden is just right for growing some crops to eat."
Actually, she just wanted to grow some medicinal herbs. Although she could buy them from outside, she wanted to cultivate some high - difficulty ones.
"Do as you like," Shen Siyan said coldly and then turned to leave.
With his permission, Shi Wan immediately told someone to level the garden and turn over the soil.
By the time she finished, it was already dark. She patted the soil off her hands, went upstairs to change her clothes, and then went to the address on her phone.
Kaiqian Auction House.
Shi Wan put on a mask, found the person she was meeting, and swaggered into the auction house.
"Boss, why do you want to bid for the Purple Condensation Grass?" Li San asked puzzledly.
"To save the charger."
"Huh?" Li San looked completely confused. "If the charger is broken, just buy a new one, right?"
"You don't understand. Just sit still and talk less."
Shi Wan looked indifferent. Her eyes scanned the area roughly. This was the largest auction house in City T. Everyone who came in here was either rich or powerful. With the appearance of the Purple Condensation Grass, the number of people here was at least twice as many as usual.
It wouldn't be easy for her to win the bid.
Seeing that the auction was about to start, no matter how many questions Li San had in his heart, he didn't dare to ask anymore.
On the second floor, Shen Siyan's gaze fell on a certain figure. Looking at the back, he only felt that the person's back was very similar to Shi Wan's, but with her qualifications, she simply had no right to enter here.
"Sir, the auction has started."
Hearing this, Shen Siyan withdrew his gaze. "Are you sure he will come?"
"The intelligence network should be correct," the bodyguard said in a low voice.
Shen Siyan gave a soft grunt and said nothing more.
Shi Wan always felt that there was a cold gaze staring at her. However, when she looked over, it disappeared. This happened several times. Li San beside her also noticed her uneasiness.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"Someone is staring at me. If I catch him, I'll beat him up!"
Li San: "..."
Boss is so fierce!
"Boss, boss, the Purple Condensation Grass!"
"Wait a while before making a bid," she squinted her beautiful eyes and quietly listened to the others' bids. As time passed, the price of the Purple Condensation Grass kept rising. In the end, she even wanted to run away.
If the Purple Condensation Grass finally came into her hands, she must rip Shen Siyan off. It was so expensive that her heart was bleeding...
"Boss, almost no one is bidding anymore. It's time to bid!"
Li San seemed not to notice Shi Wan's painful expression. He excitedly tugged at her sleeve and shouted.
"Shut up!" She took a deep breath, raised her bid card, and said, "One hundred million!"
Although she had many skills and earned a lot of money, she also had to support a useless system. It wasn't as hard - working as the ones written in novels. It ate gold!
Every time she earned some money, before she could even warm it up in her hands, she was forced to exchange it for gold and then watch it disappear right in front of her eyes.
This feeling was indescribably uncomfortable.
"One hundred and fifty million!"
"Two hundred million!"
Crack—
Shi Wan seemed to hear the sound of her heart breaking. Her legs went weak, but she still pretended to be calm. "Li San, if I make it into medicine and sell it for two billion, it's not too much, right?"
Li San couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. "..."
It wasn't too much, just a bit too greedy.
Before, his boss had said that if she went into business, she would definitely be a shady merchant. So even though she had become a doctor, in his opinion, she was definitely the shadiest one, no doubt about it!
"Two hundred million and fifty cents!"
As soon as this number was heard, everyone's gazes turned towards her in unison. "..."
Li San covered his face and moved his butt to the side. It was really more embarrassing than if there had been a noise. How shameful!
The woman who had been outbid was so angry that her nose was crooked. She glared at Shi Wan. Wasn't this number an insult?
She said angrily, "Two hundred and fifty million!"
Shi Wan touched her nose. "Add another fifty cents. If not, then one yuan more."
She really couldn't afford any more. She had to save as much as she could.
Everyone's gazes shifted back and forth between her and the other woman. They all had only one thought in mind: this woman was doomed. How dare she compete with the Miss of the Mo family for something!
Mo Xiaoyun was extremely angry. Just as she was about to continue bidding, the person beside her stopped her. "That's enough. Can't you see that the woman is just insulting you? She doesn't care about the money at all. No matter how much you add, she will still find a way to insult you."
"Why? I don't even know her!"
The man said with a gloomy face, "This is your own problem. But even if she wins the bid now, we can still make her hand it over later!"
Hearing this, Mo Xiaoyun snorted and gave up the idea.
Shi Wan successfully won the bid for the Purple Condensation Grass. She also bid for many medicinal seeds. After the auction ended, she separated from Li San and went home alone.
However, unexpectedly, when she was halfway home, several people rushed out of the dark and blocked her way. Then, Mo Xiaoyun and a man walked out.
"Hand over the Purple Condensation Grass!"
"And kneel down and apologize to me!"
