Chapter 184: The Spirit Cloud Herb Was Sold

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Although the Lu family no longer raised the price, there were still a portion of families who recognized the Spirit Cloud Herb as the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. The price rose rapidly and was finally auctioned off by the Li family at 70 billion.

After the transaction of the Spirit Cloud Herb succeeded, in order to let the various families take a break and have a sip of tea before they continued fighting for the next herb, the Gao family very humanely auctioned another precious jewel as the next auction item. It was only after this jewel was auctioned that everyone gradually recovered from the intense auction just now.

Not long later, another mushroom-type spirit herb was pushed out from the stage by the emcee. However, the spirit herb that was pushed up this time was far inferior to the previous one. Be it in appearance or color, it was far inferior to the Spirit Cloud Herb.

What was different from just now was that no matter if it was the guests in the living room or the people in the various private rooms, all of them hurriedly took a glance at the spirit medicine on the stage and calmly looked away, as if they were not interested.

At this moment, Mo Zhu had just finished another game. She put down her phone and played with the zipper on her coat in boredom. Seeing that another item had been pushed onto the stage, Mo Zhu yawned lazily and stretched as she looked up at the gift box in the host’s hand.

Unexpectedly, Mo Zhu’s expression changed drastically when she saw the appearance of the spirit medicine. She stood up with a stern expression and pushed open the door of the private room, walking straight to the corridor.

The others who had been sitting in the private room and leisurely drinking tea were all shocked by Mo Zhu’s sudden actions. Huo Xuan’s reaction was the fastest. After frowning, he followed Mo Zhu out of the private room.

Huo Xuan arrived quietly behind the girl. He glanced at the spirit medicine on the stage and asked unhurriedly, “Is this the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb?”

Mo Zhu didn’t look at Huo Xuan when she heard this. Her sharp eyes were fixed on the spirit medicine on the stage as she replied impatiently, “No.”

Xu Huan also followed the two of them to the corridor. Seeing that Mo Zhu had denied that it was the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb on the stage, he asked curiously, “Since this isn’t the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb, Little Bamboo, why are you so excited?”

Mo Zhu did not continue the conversation. She only looked at the spirit medicine in the gift box quietly and seriously.

At this moment, the presenter had already shown the spirit herb to everyone in the venue in detail. He gave the emcee a look that said he could start, and the emcee immediately understood what he meant and announced loudly, “The herb on stage that is currently shown to everyone is the second herb that is being auctioned today. Everyone, please observe it seriously before bidding.”

“The starting bid is five billion. The auction will officially begin now!”

Just as the host finished speaking, Mo Zhu raised her hand and propped it on the railing of the corridor as she shouted, “50 billion!”

When she said this, the entire living room instantly erupted into chaos.

“50 billion? This little girl must be crazy. The auction has just begun and she raised the bid to 50 billion. It is ten times higher than the starting bid. Even if she really wants this herb, she can’t bid like this!”

“Tsk, forgive me for being blunt. I was fortunate enough to have seen a general picture of the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb from the pictures that were passed down in my family’s secret treasure. The spirit medicine on the stage has literally no similarities to the Ten Thousand Aged Pine Snow Herb. I really don’t know why this young lady on the second floor raised the price so high. Isn’t it good to keep the money to auction the real Pine Snow Herb?”

After this person finished speaking, there was an uproar below the stage. Everyone was whispering as if they were mocking Mo Zhu for her short-sightedness.

Mo Zhu watched all of this quietly and curled her lips indifferently without saying a word.

Seeing that no one reacted, the host cleared his throat twice and raised the small hammer in his hand. “50 billion going once.”

“Fifty billion going twice.”

“50 billion…”

Before he could call out the third time, a cold voice suddenly came from a private room on the second floor.

“I’ll bid 60 billion!”

After saying this, Lu Zheng immediately pushed open the door of the private room and his figure instantly appeared in front of everyone.

He faced room one and smiled lightly. He nodded slightly and said, “I’m really sorry, Young Master Huo. I happened to fancy the same herb as your fiancée..”

Mo Zhu's mother remarried after her father went missing, and she had lived in the countryside with her elderly grandmother ever since. The girl who had no parents wanted to protect herself. Therefore, to avoid getting bullied, she had turned wild since she was a child—she played truant, fought, and drank. There was nothing she did not know how to do. She was a problematic student in the eyes of her teachers, a big sister in the eyes of her classmates, and a hooligan in the eyes of her acquaintances. When she was eighteen, her birth mother retrieved her to live at her stepfather's house. Everyone in the village claimed that she was going to live a happy life in the city, that her mother had not forgotten that she had a daughter here. "Mo Zhu, the Huo family is one of the most powerful families in the country. It's your good fortune to replace your younger sister in marrying into the Huo family. You have to cherish this opportunity," explained her mother patiently as she held Mo Zhu's hand. Mo Zhu's eyes were filled with sorrow. At that instant, she knew why her mother thought of her. Inviting her over to the city to enjoy life was simply a figment of her imagination—she was simply an exploitable piece of trash that her mother could sacrifice. The Eldest Young Master of the Huo family fell severely ill recently. He did not just develop a twisted personality, but also became violent and cruel. His face had been completely ruined and he had only two years left to live. Mo Zhu's younger sister was supposed to be Eldest Young Master Huo's fiancée, but the ruined young master was no longer a suitable match. Fearing the Huo family's influences, her mother did not dare to cancel the marriage, thus she sent Mo Zhu under the bus to protect her younger sister. However, was Mo Zhu truly just a useless simpleton who knew how to smoke, drink, and fight? No! That was simply a disguise she used for self-defense since she was a girl without parents. After marrying into the Huo family, she stopped smoking, drinking, and fighting. She became the best daughter-in-law a mother-in-law could ever have; the best wife a husband could ever have. What never occurred to anyone was she no longer flunked in her studies. In fact, she transformed into a straight-A student. Half a year later, she enrolled in the best university in the country and majored in specialized medicine. Determined to become an excellent doctor, she cured her husband's illness completely in merely two years. That handsome and suave Eldest Young Master Huo returned. After Huo Xuan's recovery, he allocated a huge budget and held the biggest wedding of the century for Mo Zhu. During the grand wedding ceremony, Huo Xuan announced during his speech, "In this lifetime, there are two people I'm most grateful for other than my parents. One of them is my mother-in-law. Thank you for despising me after I fell ill and forcing my wife to marry me in her younger sister's stead. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have met the most important person in my life! The second person must be my wife! She never despised me when I was at my lowest. Instead, she takes good care of me. She's an angel sent by God, and she has saved me with her forgiveness and kindness, granting me a second chance at life."
