2069 Side Story 57: back and forth

The originally intense bidding became silent because of the old man’s voice. The atmosphere of the auction hall suddenly became stagnant.

It was obvious that this old man had a high status among the seven families and ten families, and could even compete with the SI family.

Wen Xinya’s understanding of the seven families and ten families was very superficial. However, after today’s argument with the Wei family, she also clearly realized how deep the water was in the seven families and ten families.

She was not stupid. Since si yiyan had brought her to the auction, the people from the seven families and ten families would definitely have a fair assessment of her. Hence, everyone wanted to kill her.

Wei San wanted to use her to plot against si yiyan.

The old man was obviously trying to make her give up on the thousand-year-old wild ginseng and suppress si yiyan’s arrogance.

Although she was angry, she also knew that the situation was unclear and beyond her control. She could only be cautious.

Of course, she was well aware that the SI Corporation, as the head of the seven families, would not be afraid of the old man. Even if she were to fight with the old man, si yiyan would settle her funeral for her. However, she was not willing to act rashly just because si yiyan liked her and let him be manipulated by others.

In just a short moment, Wen Xinya’s mind had already turned a thousand times.

Si yiyan held her hand and said, ” “My wife is very filial. Seeing that this thousand-year-old wild ginseng is rare, she is very happy and wants to buy it for my 80-year-old maternal grandfather to nourish his body. Duke Qin is so unreasonable. The one with the highest price will get the item. Why don’t you let the Wei family’s ancestor have a good talk with you?”

After a round of courtesy, he was neither servile nor overbearing, neither retreating nor yielding.

However, these words were brilliant. With one move, he pushed the Wei family out.

Upon hearing the words ” Duke Qin, ” Wen Xinya had already guessed that this elderly man was the head of the Qin family, which was ranked second among the seven surnames and ten families.

The Qin family had firmly controlled the seven surnames and ten families for a hundred years and had always been the head of the seven surnames and ten families. On the other hand, the SI family had few descendants. Although they were strong, they did not rank very high among the seven surnames and ten families. No one dared to provoke them, so they were also the one and only master among the seven surnames and ten families.

Because of this, the Qin clan and the SI clan had been in conflict for many years.

It was only when ninth si appeared out of nowhere and ruthlessly suppressed the Qin clan, taking down the head of the seven surnames and ten families, that this dispute was temporarily put to rest due to the Qin clan’s defeat.

Upon hearing si yiyan’s words, third Wei, who was hiding in the private room, knew that the Qin Corporation and the SI Corporation were fighting. He had initially wanted to watch the show from the sidelines, but after hearing si yiyan’s words, he immediately spat out the tea in his mouth.

“What does your wife’s fight with Duke Qin have to do with the Wei family? You can’t do this!” The originally refreshing, sweet, and fragrant tea suddenly became bitter, even more bitter than eating a yellow lotus.

Duke Qin had indeed broken the rules of the auction by asking Wen Xinya to give up bidding in front of everyone. However, it was not a big deal. He could just pretend to be deaf and watch the Tigers fight. He did not want to offend either the Qin or si Corporation.

Besides, not only did Wen Xinya embarrass him previously, but she had also caused him to be ruthlessly scammed. Now that the Qin Corporation and the SI Corporation were at loggerheads, he was more or less gloating in his heart.

However, he had never expected ninth master si to be so sinister and despicable. Not only did he fight with the Qin clan, but he also got the Wei clan involved.

At this point, it was impossible for the Wei family to stand by and watch.

Thinking of this, Wei San was filled with grief and indignation. He couldn’t help but slap himself in the face, ” “You didn’t open your eyes and didn’t grow your brain, so you offended The Fiend of the SI family? Other people are trying to avoid it, but you’re the one who’s walking into the muzzle.”

He finally understood. If he had not provoked ninth master si, why would he be targeted by ninth master si and not forget to give him a hand when he was fighting with the Qin clan?

Si yiyan had no idea how indignant Wei San was at this moment and merely sipped on his tea calmly.

On the other side, Duke Qin’s expression did not look too good.”Head Master si, your words are too serious. It’s rare for Madam si to be so filial. I was only discussing with Madam. How could you say that I broke the rules of the Lai Yi Pavilion? Everyone present is a respected figure of the seven surnames and ten families. Master SI’s words are causing a misunderstanding. People who don’t know the truth would think that the Qin doesn’t know the rules.”

Duke Qin was also a sly old fox. Not only did he manage to get away with it, but he also ridiculed si yiyan and implied that he was trying to make things difficult for the Qin family.

The atmosphere of the auction became even more tense.

Wen Xinya frowned slightly. Si yiyan held her hand and said coldly, ” “Duke Qin, you’re wrong. I brought my wife to the auction of the seven families to let her see the world. You’re a highly respected elder of the seven families, how can you argue with a junior? Those who don’t know the situation will think that Duke Qin is taking advantage of his seniority and is overbearing, even asking the younger generation to give way to the auction items.”

Duke Qin’s words were reasonable.

Si yiyan’s words were even more beautiful.

Regardless of whether or not it was against the rules for old Mr. Qin to ask Wen Xinya to give up on the thousand-year-old wild ginseng, as an elder, he had to act like one and should not make Wen Xinya give in to him.

If they wanted the thousand-year-old wild ginseng, it would be over if everyone bid fairly. The Qin Corporation was not without the financial resources to compete with the SI Corporation. However, he was biased towards his seniority and made Wen Xinya give in. Clearly, he was deliberately taking the opportunity to use Wen Xinya as an example in an attempt to suppress the SI Corporation.

Everyone present was an influential figure among the various families. After si yiyan said that, everyone understood the hidden meaning behind his words.

His words left Duke Qin speechless. He immediately said angrily, ” ” si family’s brat, how unreasonable! ”

Among the seven surnames and ten families, Duke Qin had the highest seniority, and even ninth si had to call him uncle Qin. Although the SI and Qin families had many disputes, they still maintained some face on the surface.

At this moment, for the sake of his wife, si yiyan had publicly humiliated him in front of so many influential people from the seven surnames and ten families. This still made him extremely angry.

Si yiyan’s voice was calm. ” justice is in everyone’s heart. Whether it’s reasonable or not, everyone will judge. ”

Duke Qin’s voice was cold. After a while, he said, ” “So, the SI family has decided to compete with me today?”

Now that things had come to this, he had no reason to give in.

Other people might be afraid of si Corporation, but he wasn’t.

The seven families and ten families respected strength. Only the weak and the losers would discuss justice and right and wrong with others.

For today’s matter, even if he was in the wrong first, it didn’t matter. There was no right or wrong. If he suppressed the SI clan, who would really say anything bad about the Qin clan?
