Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mo Zhu lowered her head and played with her phone. She was originally not very interested in this incense burner, but after hearing Xu Huan’s teasing, she was amused by the man’s words. She looked up and said casually, “You’re right. This thing is really not made by the divine doctor.”
When Xu Huan heard this, he looked at Mo Zhu in surprise. He turned his head and asked with interest, “Why? How does Little Bamboo know the truth?”
Mo Zhu glanced at Xu Huan and glanced at the stage. She pointed at the emcee who was holding the incense burner and showing it to everyone in detail. She replied indifferently, “Look at the handles on the left and right of the incense burner. Are they asymmetric? Are they of different heights?”
The few people in the private room followed Mo Zhu’s words and looked at the handle of the small incense burner carefully. Indeed, this incense burner was really crudely made. Its handle was not even made properly.
Xu Huan spat ruthlessly and said angrily, “Isn’t the Zhao family earning money through lying? How dare a big family like them fake things openly. When the auction ends later, I’ll definitely report it to the Gao family’s master and make their reputation suffer. The gains don’t make up for the losses!”
Before Xu Huan could finish grumbling, Mo Zhu gave him a cold glance, put down her phone and took a sip of tea. She said plainly, “I’m not wrong. Although this incense burner wasn’t made by the divine doctor, it does have the effect of extending one’s life after one takes in the smell of the incense from this burner for a long period of time.”
Xu Huan looked at Mo Zhu in confusion when he heard this. “What do you mean?”
This time, not only was Xu Huan curious, even Huo Xuan, who usually kept a straight face, was intrigued by Mo Zhu.
He did not expect Mo Zhu to even know a little about the past behind this incense burner. She really made him view her in a different light again.
“Because I made this incense burner. Many years ago, the divine doctor owed the previous master of the Zhao family a favor. At that time, he was overseas and it was not convenient for him to return to the country, so I went to the Zhao family to take a look at that old man on his behalf. Seeing that his desire to live was not strong, I casually made this incense burner and gave it to him. It could be considered as returning this favor for the divine doctor.”
These words shocked Xu Huan. He stared at Mo Zhu in disbelief and muttered to himself, “Little Bamboo, you made this incense burner?”
“Yes.” Mo Zhu raised her eyes and looked at the incense burner on the stage again. She shook her head regretfully and said, “If I had known that this incense burner would be taken out to be admired by so many people today, I would have used more effort to make it look better. This ugly thing is too embarrassing.”
Huo Xuan wasn’t as shocked as Xu Huan. No matter how ridiculous Mo Zhu’s words were, he was already mentally prepared. After all, his little fiancée always had unexpected abilities!
Huo Xuan calmly picked up the teapot and filled a glass for Mo Zhu. There was a faint smile on his lips. “It’s not ugly, it’s not ugly. In my opinion, this incense burner is already very beautiful. It’s even more exquisite than the ones in the store.”
“Pfft.” Just as Huo Xuan finished speaking, Mo Wu couldn’t help but spit out the tea he had just drunk in order to calm his nerves.
Mo Wu raised his hand and wiped the corners of his mouth. He frowned and said, “Young Master, your flattery is too far-fetched. Mo Wu can’t stand it anymore!”
Before Mo Wu could finish, Xu Huan shook his head and suddenly thought of something. He raised his hand and poked Huo Xuan’s arm, saying happily, “Brother Huo, since this incense burner has the effect of extending one’s lifespan, why don’t we buy it and give it to Old Master Huo? It might be useful for Old Master Huo’s recovery?”
When Mo Zhu heard this, she glanced at Xu Huan indifferently and replied, “Is there a need to go through so much trouble? I’ll make a better one and send it to Old Master Huo another day.. You don’t have to spend this money for no reason.”
