Chapter 381
X Quest wanted to win the silver censer and give it to a person.
“This item is known as the Silver Censer with Openwork Design of Grapes and Flying Birds from the
Tang Dynasty… The entire body of the censer is made of pure silver,plying with the most
popr openwork spherical design of that era.”
“I wonder if any of you know the history of the silver censer? Please raise your hand if you know it.
The one who answers correctly will get a delicate gift from us today!”
As soon as she finished her sentence, a few hands rose into the air.
Reba Robin followed suit and raised her hand too, so did X.
Mary Sullivan could not help but rolled her eyes as she noticed X raised her hand in the middle
of the air.
She was certain that X did not know anything about the silver censer. As for the questions she
had just asked her about Tang Bohu, she must have randomly read it from somewhere.
How could someone who was not interested in antiques at all be so knowledgeable about them?
X was just following suit as she saw Reba raised her hand, trying to boast herself.
This is because she knew that the auctioneer would let Reba answer the question as long as
Reba was there and was raising her hand.
Mary was disgusted upon thinking of X’s behavior.
Soon, the auctioneer dropped her gaze on Reba’s face. She stretched out her hand politely and
pointed at where Reba was seated. “Miss, please tell us your answer.”
Reba held the tabletop microphone ced in front of her without hesitation and said, “I’m raising
my hand for someone else. There’s a sweetdy next to me who would love to answer but she’s too
shy.”
Then, Reba turned to look at Mary.
The others, too,nded their eyes on her immediately.
The abrupt statement by Reba had left Mary dumbfounded and lost. Her brain started buzzing
like mad.
She had never expected Reba woulde up with such a…
This was a clear attempt to embarrass her in front of everyone. It would be extremely humiliating to
her in case she failed to answer.
At the critical moment, a clever idea popped up in her mind. She decided to put X into trouble.
“X… Why don’t you tell them the answer? Well, I’m an introvert. I’m too nervous to speak in front
of so many people… I notice that you raised your hand too, why don’t you share the answer with
us?”
At this point, she could not care less.
X had raised her hand too. Hence, she decided to throw the question at X. Even if X could
not answer the question and embarrass herself, the vice president’s wife had nothing to do with her.
After all, she cued X because X herself had raised her hand.
By that time, if X really failed toe up with an answer, Reba would only think that it was
X who set a trap for herself by pretending to be smart and cool. Reba would not me it on
Mary then.Owned by N?velDrama.Org.
Mary’s heart was much calmer afterforting herself in that way.
She then slowly shifted her gaze to X, waiting in peace and silence for X to make a fool of
herself.
Thinking that X would embarrass herself in front of the crowdter on and being ridiculed by
thousands of people, Mary was immensely delighted and pleased.
Everyone was now looking at X.
The attention of the crowd had shifted from Mary Sullivan to X Quest instantly.
How could X not realize that Mary was trying to humiliate her by throwing the question to her like
this? X could simply guess and see through all her little tricks.
She flicked a nce at Mary coldly. Then, she grabbed the tabletop microphone in front of Reba
and ced it before her. She red at Mary and began, “Emperor Xuanzong of Tang was in love
with Yang Yuhuan back then. Yang Yuhuan loved to dance so he had this silver censer created
especially for her. He hoped that Yang Yuhuan would dance in fragrance, and wore the censer on
her at all times.”
“As he was over-indulged with Yang Yuhuan, he started to neglect his political affairs, which led to
the subsequent incident at Mawei. Under the advice of Gao Lishi, he was forced to kill Yang Yuhan
at Mawei by poisoning her wine with gold sheds, in order to save himself.”
“However deep in his heart, he could never forget or let go of her. Therefore, the silver censer was
not taken down from her body. He let the censer stay with her, hoping that he could follow the
fragrance and search for her after his own death.”
