When Ye Zhen heard Zhao Tianji's words, a thought flashed through her mind. She should really let this guy die. Why should she meddle in other people's business?
Just as she was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door. It was the steward who came to invite them. "You two, our Uncle Shui would like to invite you over to talk about Zhao Tianji."
"Oh, he has nothing to do with us. You can do whatever you want." Ye Zhen waved her hand. She didn't want to meddle in other people's business, lest she accidentally fell into Zhao Tianji's trap again. Who knew if he would betray her again?
The steward probably didn't expect them to refuse. He was stunned for a moment. "Miss, it's Uncle Shui."
"Whether it's Uncle Shui or Uncle Shan, we were just passing by and happened to see someone we knew before. Now we feel that we have recognized the wrong person, so we will take our leave now." Ye Zhen said with a smile.
"Miss …" The steward probably didn't expect Ye Zhen to say such words so confidently. "That Zhao Tianji said that you are his relative."
Kiss his uncle! The smile on Ye Zhen's face became more brilliant. "How come I don't remember having such a relative?"
Zhao Tianji was brought to the second floor at some point. When he heard Ye Zhen's words, he shouted, "You … Don't forget that you once lived on Zhao Island. Huang … Lu Yaoyao, we are related."
Ye Zhen heard the meaning in Zhao Tianji's words. If she didn't save him, he was going to tell them her identity!
"Did you steal something or do something bad? How did you become like this?" Thinking of Huangfu Chen, Ye Zhen couldn't ignore Zhao Tianji's current situation. She was curious about what he had done to make that … Uncle Shui sell him as a slave. Zhao Tianji glanced at the steward and shook off the man who was holding him.
He whispered to Ye Zhen, "Shui Yichen wants me to marry his sister, but I don't want to. When I tried to sneak away, he caught me and brought me back. Who knew that his sister suddenly fell ill. No doctor knew the reason. Now he is angry with me. My boat was seized by him, and the people who followed me were killed by him. I can't leave even if I want to. If you cure his sister, maybe he will let me go."
Ye Zhen didn't expect such a reason. "Aren't you still unmarried? What's wrong with marrying someone else's sister? "
"Too fat …" Zhao Tianji almost cried. "I'm so handsome, I can't marry a …"
He didn't dare to say the rest of his words. If Shui Yichen heard it, he might be slaughtered like a pig.
Ye Zhen looked at Ye Yiqing. "Daddy, what do you think?"
"You deserve to die." Ye Yiqing said lightly.
"Empress!" Zhao Tianji gnashed his teeth in anger. There was no one here who could save him except for Lu Yaoyao. Now, he had no time to think about why the Empress of Jin Kingdom would appear here. He just wanted to leave this damned place.
Ye Zhen glanced at him and said to the steward, "I want to say a few words to him first."
The steward looked at Zhao Tianji and knew that they would not be able to walk out of the auction house. He smiled faintly and said, "Fifteen minutes."
Zhao Tianji followed Ye Zhen into the wing room and immediately said, "Niang, no matter how much silver you give him, you must take me away from here."
"Who is that Shui Yichen? You refused to marry his sister, so he detained you? Is there no government here? "Ye Zhen frowned and looked at Zhao Tianji.
"He's the biggest merchant in Nanzhou. Even the Governor here has to act according to his wishes. It'll be the same no matter which government I go to. This place is different from our Jin Nation. Hua Nation's merchants have the highest status." Zhao Tianji said in a muffled voice, "I don't know what Shui Miaomiao sees in me. I want to leave but she won't let me go. Niang, you must help me."
Ye Zhen said angrily, "Do you dislike the girl because she is not good-looking or what?"
"She is very good-looking." Zhao Tianji whispered, "But I don't like being forced to do things."
"How did you get here?" Ye Zhen knew the general reason and felt that it was more difficult. Although she had never seen Shui Yichen, she felt that he was not easy to deal with just by listening to his voice.
Zhao Tianji said, "I passed through here on business. This is the first time I've come here. That Shui Yichen values his sister more than his life. As long as you can get Shui Miaomiao, he will definitely agree to anything."
"Who is Shui Yichen?" Ye Zhen raised her eyebrows and asked.
"I only know that he is the biggest merchant in Nanzhou. At least half of the merchant ships in the port belong to him. Others call him the Sea King because he often goes to sea and returns with a full load every time. He only has one sister. I don't know anything else." Zhao Tianji said.
Ye Zhen wanted to ask more clearly, but there was already a knock on the door.
Zhao Tianji looked at Ye Zhen earnestly. "You can cure me. You must be able to cure Shui Miaomiao. Please save her."
"It seems that you care about her very much." Ye Zhen smiled faintly.
"If she dies, I will die too." Zhao Tianji said angrily.
"Dad, then let's go and meet this Shui Yichen." Ye Zhen whispered to her father.
Ye Yiqing nodded gently and did not object.
The steward outside was already a little impatient. When he saw Ye Zhen and the others coming out, he immediately said, "Miss, Shui Yichen is already waiting for you outside."
Ye Zhen was quite interested in this Shui Yichen. A merchant who could have such great power in Nanzhou was certainly not that simple. Thinking about it, it seemed that no one in the Jin Kingdom could have such ability.
The steward took them through a long corridor. The pillars of the corridor were carved with complex and exquisite patterns. It could be seen that the owner of the auction house had put a lot of effort into building it. What kind of person was Shui Yichen?
After a long corridor, they finally came to the room facing the auction stage. The steward pushed the door open and Ye Zhen saw the furnishings in the room.
This room was really different. Not only was it more spacious, but even the layout and furnishings revealed a tough and cold momentum. A man in a dark blue brocade robe stood with his back to them. His back was broad and tall. Even before seeing his face, one could feel the gloomy atmosphere emanating from him.
Ye Yiqing stood behind Ye Zhen, silently protecting his daughter.
"Master, they are coming." The steward walked to the man's side and whispered.
Zhao Tianji stood beside Ye Zhen, pursing his lips and looking at the man.
The man slowly turned his head. He had a pair of sharp and cold eyes, and his facial features looked handsome. He was younger than Ye Zhen had imagined.
"Have you been to Baoxiang Kingdom?" Shui Yichen held the Thousand Fragrances Grass pendant in his hand and looked at Ye Zhen coldly.
"Yes." Ye Zhen nodded. She had seen indifferent and cold men. Naturally, she would not be afraid of this Shui Yichen.
