here isn't enough.""Rest assured, brother. No matter the cost, as long as you are willing to sell me the white lingzhi and save my mother's life, I will agree to any request and pay any amount of silv...Chapter 1068: The Disguised Maid is Instantly Taken Down

The man's physique is really good, with broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs. If he were just a little taller and his proportions were even better, he could really rival Ah Yu.

However, in Fang Jinshi's heart, no man in this world could compare to her Ah Yu.

Eight well-defined abs, each one tight and firm, not to mention her full chest muscles. Lately, she's been touching them before bed every night, feeling them over and over again, never getting enough.

The most amazing thing was the two deep "mermaid lines" below Ah Yu's abs. Every time he came out of the bath wrapped only in the white towel she had prepared, his wet hair fell messily over his shoulders.

Uh, I can't think about it anymore. My nose is going to bleed if I do.

She feigned thirst and picked up the water glass on the table, taking a few sips. Zong Yu noticed that his daughter-in-law's expression was a little off. He glanced at the male slave on stage and suddenly, as if he had seen something, his eyes narrowed slightly. He leaned into Fang Jinxiu's ear.

"The one on stage, is he handsome"

Fang Jinshu was drinking water when she heard Zong Yu's words. The water in her mouth almost squirted out. She choked and coughed a few times. A cold glint flashed across Zong Yu's eyes, but others couldn't tell. His expression always fluctuated very subtly.

But Fang Jinshu felt it!

She was caught by her husband peeking at the handsome physique, so Aru felt jealous.

Bai Xuan and her younger brother came over.

"Madam Fang, are you alright"

Fan Jinshu coughed a few times before stopping, Zong Yu took out a handkerchief to wipe the water stains from her hands.

"No, it's okay, the tea was a little hot, I just scalded myself."

Bai Xuan felt strange. Tea scalding your mouth She had just drunk a lot, the temperature was just right, not hot at all.

At that moment, a wave of sighs suddenly rose from the audience below.

"Goodness me, I thought there'd be a handsome face beneath that mask. How hideous!"

"You women are shallow. He's clearly a martial artist by the way he carries himself, but all you see is his face."

The woman let out a snort of displeasure. They came here to look at beautiful women, didn't they What else would they be looking at, these fat-headed, greasy middle-aged men

If you have the guts, come out later and talk like that to a beautiful woman!

Bai Xuan didn't have any special feelings for burly figures. The expression on her face depended entirely on the appearance of the male servant on stage.

But this burly yet unremarkable male slave was sold for a surprising price, fetching one thousand taels.

It seems that male slaves with high martial arts skills and good physiques are more popular here than those with handsome faces.

Next came several female slaves. Fang Jinshu thought that these female slaves from the higher districts should be similar to those from other districts, all forced here against their will. Logically speaking, they shouldn't want to be treated as commodities bought and sold, serving as slaves to others.

The successful candidate, Jinxiu Fang, did not see a hint of coercion or unwillingness on these women's faces. When Fang Jinxiu was deeply puzzled, Bai Xuan explained it to her.

"Because all the slave women on the auction block are volunteers, you know."

"Besides the middle and lower districts, most slaves in the high district came here voluntarily. There are also some special circumstances that require them to appear here."

The innkeeper, though greedy, conducts his business fairly.

Fang Jinshi twitched the corner of her mouth, was the deal here fair

If Yulian heard this, she would be furious and jump for joy. She absolutely loathes the black shop here.

She held a grudge over being charged thirty wen for a stir-fried vegetable dish.

"Madam Fang, do you know why the place where people buy and sell slaves is called the Gathering of Talented People"

Fang Jinshu picked her eyebrows, she seemed to have understood some of the key points.

"Could it be that because these people are famous and come willingly to serve as slaves in search of a master, they are called 'talented individuals'"

Bai Xuan smiled, "Mrs. Fang is indeed intelligent beyond compare. You grasped it immediately."

"Most of the slaves in the lower districts are from the Western Continent."

If they couldn't buy their way out as slaves, they would have been dead in Xizhou long ago.

Upon hearing this, Fang Jinshu fell silent.

Zongyu suddenly reached out and grasped her hand in his palm.

"The war has calmed, and Xi Zhou will slowly recover."

Fang Jinshu nodded, after understanding the affairs of Beijing and clarifying Ayu's background, she wanted to return to Xizhou to do more for the people there.

One magnificent manor is not enough.

"A beautiful slave's price is different, just look at the men below, their eyes are about to pop out."

Bai Xuan's tone was laced with envy and jealousy.

Fang Jinshu saw her staring at those beauties, drool almost dripping from her mouth, and found it strange.

"How can you be so excited about the female slaves, do you plan on buying them too"

Bai Xuan pouted pitifully and turned her head to look at her.

"I would like to buy it, but Ah Yu won't let me."

Bai Yu's expression was very calm.

"It's not that I won't let you, it's just that your pocketbook doesn't allow it."

"That number seven down there is pushing five thousand taels already. Besides her disguise skills, she can't even pour tea or serve water properly. You buy her back and you'll just end up needing someone else to wait on her."

"If your father finds out, you won't be able to leave here again."

Bai Xuan was speechless.

What's with using daddy as a shield Daddy loves her the most, he wouldn't restrict her.

The main reason isn't that I don't have enough money!

Disguise

When Fang Jinshi heard these three words, he immediately perked up.

"There's actually a maid here who can shapeshift."

This is an incredible deal, and super useful, no wonder so many people are bidding on it, the price is still climbing.

Originally, Fang Jinxiu didn't intend to buy someone here. If she had someone by her side who could disguise themselves, she could change her face when going out, and she wouldn't be afraid of being discovered. How wonderful that would be.

There was a fluttering in her heart.

"Well, now it's up to seven thousand taels, the money is completely gone."

Bai Xuan, like a frostbitten eggplant, wilted upon learning that her auction was hopeless.

"Seven thousand taels once, does anyone have a higher price"

"Seven thousand taels, the second time."

If the third hammer strikes, this number seven will belong to someone else.

Bai Xuan sighed repeatedly at Qi Hao's delicate and exquisite face, her eyes glued to it without wanting to look away.

"Let me take a few more glances, they'll belong to someone else soon."

"Seven thousand taels."

Just then, Fang Jinshu suddenly picked up the number plate Bai Xuan was holding in her hand. She had been idly playing with it, not really paying attention since there wasn't much chance to use it anyway.

So Fang Jinshu very easily tore it away, then in the surprised gazes of the other three, held it up.

"I bid eight thousand taels."

The shape-shifting handmaiden was instantly apprehended!

When the auctioneer delivered item number seven to their private room, Bai Xuan still couldn't quite believe her eyes.

Eight thousand taels She saved for three months, every single cent she spent carefully adding up to this amount. Not a single ounce of waste! Just like that, Madam Fang didn't blink an eye and said the money was going out.ned up the vegetable patch.The vegetable patch was about the same size as the main house of her ancestral home, and the seeds she had bought were more than enough.Zongyu noticed his daughter-in-law's...
