Quick Transmigration: She's a Heartbreaker: Ch 110, The Imposter Noble Lady Shen Xi Tang's voice didn't contain the slightest trace of temperature. The gentle smiling appearance he had towards Jiang Xun just now became cold and solemn in the blink of an eye. Su Xun tremblingly walked out and said with some guiltiness, "It's me, I just happened to pass by." Shen Xi Tang’s gaze toward her was ice-cold. When that gaze landed on her, it made her feel cold all over her. He could guess her identity just by looking at her face, which had three points similar to Jiang Xun. However, Shen Xi Tang didn't give her a good face, instead he said faintly, "Since this is the case, what are you doing hiding in the shadows? " "I… … I didn't eavesdrop." Su Xun felt extremely awkward with a sense of shame of having her lie exposed. Shen Xi Tang glanced at her indifferently, but didn’t say anything. He looked away from her and ignored her. In Su Xun's opinion, Shen Xi Tang was as cold as the orchids in the empty valley, just like the heavenly gods described in the legends, making people worship him. Even if they admired him, they dare not approach him. Yet, she just saw him smiling that gentle at Jiang Xun with hidden affection in his eyes. It really made her uncomfortably jealous. Standing in place, she didn’t know whether to leave or stay. However, Jiang Xun and Shen Xi Tang directly ignored her, this living person. Jiang Xun asked Shen Xi Tang, “Did you come find me today for something?" Shen Xi Tang said softly, "I'm here to invite you to the Dou Bao Conference." Jiang Xun was taken aback for a moment, "What Dou Bao Conference?" "It's the Dou Bao Conference held by the Seven Treasures Association. At that time, all the nobles in the capital will bring rare and exotic treasures to the meeting, where they will appreciate and compete with each other. People might also see many good items that they have never seen before. But although it is called Dou Bao, it is actually riddle-guessing with treasures as a condition for participating. The Seven Treasures Association will give out three treasures as a gift to the winner of the riddle-guessing." Shen Xi Tang whispered and aroused Jiang Xun's interest. "That seems quite interesting." Jiang Xun said. "How about I take you there?" Shen Xi Tang offered. Jiang Xun thought it through and nodded, "En, okay, I want to check it out." Shen Xi Tang was very satisfied with her unpretentious appearance, "Then let's go, I already prepared everything. The carriage is waiting outside." It looks like Shen Xi Tang didn't think she will refuse at all, or even if she refuses, he still has a way to get her to agree. As Jiang Xun followed Shen Xi Tang away, Su Xun stood there looking at their backs side by side and clenched her fists, her expression ugly. ... Jiang Xun and Shen Xi Tang rode a carriage to the door of a big mansion in the back alley of Chun Ming Workshop, where the carriage stopped. When Jiang Xun and Shen Xi Tang got out of the carriage one after another, she was supported by Ying Qiao, who was standing next to the carriage. As soon as she glanced up, she saw a large golden plaque hanging on the door with the three characters "Seven Treasures Association" written on it. It was made of pure gold and also inlaid with fine white jade, appearing incredibly luxurious. There were several strongmen in black guarding outside the door, standing on each side of the door. Seeing Shen Xi Tang, their expressions were stunned as they hurriedly stepped forward to salute. "General Shen!" Shen Xi Tang waved his hand and ordered the guards behind him to give them the things. The guard took out a few boxes and handed them to one of the strongmen. One of the strongmen took the boxes and didn’t open it hastily, but carefully held it in his hand as if he didn't need to look at it to know what Shen Xi Tang gave was definitely an extremely precious treasure. "You two, please come in." After entering the Seven Treasures Club, a tall and graceful young woman greeted them before they got far. Who knew where she came from? That woman was dressed in white, gorgeous, but with a respectful face and a kind smile on her face. "These two distinguished guests, This One will lead the way." Once she finished speaking, she bowed and then walked lightly in front of them to begin leading the way. After walking for a while, Jiang Xun finally understood why they needed this woman in white to lead the way. This is simply a labyrinth with many traps. The moment someone, who isn’t familiar with the route comes in without anyone leading them, they could only be trapped in it, unless they were proficient in this path. It can be seen that the master of the Seven Treasures Association must be proficient in the art of Qi Men Dun i.pinimg.com/564x/78/66/6c/78666c81c189bd3a927f5f0e0b8b2180.jpgJia. Moreover, along the way, even the flowers randomly placed on the road were all rare products. Every display building in the garden is extremely grandiose, not to mention the animals such as peacocks and cranes in the garden. Those were rare even among the nobles. "We’re here, the two guests, please come in. This is This One’s limit." The white-clothed woman finished speaking and left gracefully. ... The two of them bypassed the promenade and entered the main hall to see that there were already many people inside. As soon as they entered, they attracted everyone's attention. This was the first time that the two of them had appeared in public as a pair. The fact that the two of them had been granted a marriage had already spread throughout the capital, so the first time they appeared together also caused much discussion. Glancing around, Jiang Xun saw many acquaintances. Xiao Wang He was also there. After he saw Jiang Xun and Shen Xi Tang, his expression became stiff and his figure swayed slightly, as if he had received a great shock. Once Jiang Xun saw Xiao Wang He, she felt Shen Xi Tang's eyes fixated on her. Thus, she continued looking around calmly, as if she hadn't noticed Xiao Wang He at all. Shen Xi Tang was soon called out by other people, saying that they had something to ask him. He had Jiang Xun wait for him here for a bit, saying that he would be back soon. However, just after Shen Xi Tang left, another group of people came in the door. When everyone saw them, they came forward to salute. It turned out that several princes and princesses all came. Following behind them were the palace maids and guards. The Seven Treasures Club’s rule was that the number of treasure exchanged equals the number of tickets. In this way, these guards and maids also bought tickets. Princess Qing Jue and the fourth prince, Yan Cong, were among them. When Princess Qing Jue saw Jiang Xun, her face changed. She bit her lip and had an angry appearance. Seeing Jiang Xun come by herself without anyone following her, she sneered a few times before remarking, "Some people are really ridiculous. They don't know how much they’re worth and just have to go where the crowd is and don't even check if this is somewhere she should be." Although Jiang Xun heard it, she acted like she hadn’t. Instead, she glanced at her lightly, as if she hadn't been affected at all, which only contrasted how aloof and dignified she was. Sure enough, Princess Qing Jue was livid when she saw that appearance of hers and her face quickly turned from blue to white. All she was missing was smoke coming from her head. Yan Cong's eyes have been on Jiang Xun’s the entire time. Seeing her beautiful appearance and graceful figure, he had pity in his heart. Initially, he wanted to take her by himself. Yet, who knew that she was engaged in just one short day and it would be Shen Xi Tang at that? However, since she wasn’t married yet, he wasn’t without a chance. And even if she was married, as long as he wants it, there is nothing he can’t get. Yan Cong narrowed his peach blossom eyes and smiled with the corners of his mouth. At this time, Shen Xi Tang returned. With him standing next to Jiang Xun, Jiang Xun became the focus of the entire audience again. It was difficult for everyone not to pay attention there. Princess Qing Jue revealed an infatuated expression when she saw Shen Xi Tang, but when she saw him walking towards Jiang Xun and patting her on the shoulder affectionately, she almost went crazy with jealousy. Sadly, Shen Xi Tang didn't seem to see her. Suddenly a pretty woman walked out gracefully with several people dressed as maids behind her, holding a pipa for her. "Isn’t that Miss Yuan Yu?" Someone asked. "Exactly, I heard that General Shen has a leg with her while Older Young Master Qin also seemed to have a close relationship with her." "I heard that Qin Xu Feng's return to the capital this time also caused an uproar." "What's the matter? Quickly tell me." ... After that woman, Yuan Yu sat down, the maid carefully placed the pipa in front of her. Yuan Yu's expression was cold and expressionless. Before preparing to perform, she stood up and gracefully saluted everyone before sitting down to begin playing. The sound of the Pipa is as smooth as a warbler, and like a spring flowing, but also like the sound of rain ticking on the ice. It was slow at times, yet urgent at others. Sometimes tactfully and sometimes smooth. The slight trembling made the sound of lingering music intoxicating. After a long time, until the sound of the pipa stopped for a while, did everyone come back to their senses. "Yuan Yu’s music is truly rare in the world. Not having heard it for a long time, Yuan Yu's musical skills have become even more superb." A clear voice came from outside the door. Yuan Yu only smiled faintly and saluted, neither humble nor arrogant. When everyone looked back, they saw two handsome men: One was the indifferent Kang Wangye, Yan Shen, while the other man in blue robes was someone Jiang Xun had never seen. The luck was also quite strong, comparable to Yan Shen’s. Soon Jiang Xun heard someone shout, "That's Qin Xu Feng." "Why is he back?" "I heard that it has been several days since he came back." "The relationship between Kang Wangye and him is still that good. This time Qin Xu Feng came to participate in the Dou Bao Conference, Lord Kang actually also followed him." Yan Shen appeared a little strange after seeing Jiang Xun. He stared at her closely. Who knew what he was thinking, but his gaze was a little cautious? Jiang Xun lowered her eyes, as if avoiding his attention. Shen Xi Tang leaned over and approached her ears, whispering softly, "We agreed on not looking at other men, you’re misbehaving." Jiang Xun froze, a little dumbfounded, "I didn’t." Shen Xi Tang didn't force her. He snorted softly, "It better be that way." Many other people came one after another. Wei Ming Yu, who had been imprisoned in the Wei mansion for a few months, also came. She looked a lot thinner, but she was still very energetic and the gaze she had towards Jiang Xun was also intimidating. When the langjuns and noble ladies of the Yan family came, Jiang Xun furrowed her brows. Why did Su Xun also come? Just as she was puzzled, Shopkeeper Yang of the Seven Treasures Club came out and announced loudly, "Today is my Seven Treasures Club's annual Dou Bao Conference. Thank you to all the distinguished guests for bringing the treasures. The winner today will be presented with three treasures by the Seven Treasures Club." Someone yelled, "The treasures the Seven Treasure Association produces every year are always unexpected and priceless treasures. What will this year's treasures be?" Shopkeeper Yang clapped his hands and three strongmen carefully walked in with three boxes of different sizes. The smallest box was only as big as a palm, but the largest box was two feet long. At the Shopkeeper Yang’s sign, the strongmen opened the boxes. "The first treasure is Sui Hou Jade. Everyone probably knows the origin of this treasure. What the Seven Treasures Association today brought out is the Sui Hou Zhu, which is a century rare treasure. Although this Sui Hou Jade is not as big as the one in the legend, its light is enough to illuminate an entire room. The second treasure, a vivid jade sculpture of Guan Yin made by hundreds of craftsmen. The third treasure is a named sword, the Nian Ying Sword. It not only cuts iron like mud, is exquisite and elegant, but also kills people invisibly." The crowd was in an uproar. Each of the three treasures this time was a true treasure and each one of them was enough to make people lose their heads. Everyone had a certain glint in their eyes, while Jiang Xun naturally wanted to obtain these treasures as well. Everyone thought in their hearts: This Seven Treasures Association is really generous. No wonder so many people are willing to use treasures in exchange for an admission ticket. If you win, all three treasures will be collected in your bag. Qin Xu Feng‘ s attention was attracted to this side. Interest flashed in his eyes as he walked over, "General Shen, is this the fiancée the Emperor granted a marriage for you?" Though Qin Xu Feng was asking Shen Xi Tang, his eyes stared at Jiang Xun without blinking. The interest in his eyes was undisguisable. The author has something to say: The Big Pig Trotters all gather together Will it be a harmonious interaction or a massacre?
