I met Mu Junze again at the auction.

　　When he saw me, he looked smug and said, 'It seems Miss Second has also received the news.

　　There will be a valuable item appearing this time.

　　Unfortunately, this is a man's territory, and as a woman, you have no advantage.' 'I am determined to obtain this Western Region glass lamp,' I coldly replied.

　　In my past life, in order to push his own power to the position of the emperor's merchant, he had bid a fortune to obtain the Western Region glass lamp at this auction.

　　The emperor was overjoyed and helped him fulfill his wish.

　　Everyone only knew that the Ninth Prince Mu Junze was respectful and humble, rising to fame after a battle, becoming the 'wise prince' that everyone respected.

　　But no one knew that the Western Region glass lamp was actually made by instructing the auction house to use the bones of twenty-seven boys and girls, with extremely cruel methods.

　　He created this large-scale 'auction' to distance himself from it.

　　These were all things he personally told me when I was exiled.

　　Before I could ponder further, everything around suddenly dimmed.

　　Just when everyone was cursing, the glass lamp was presented, and the whole venue fell silent.

　　'This is the Western Region glass lamp that has been passed down by the Loulan royal family for a thousand years.

　　It is truly a priceless treasure that can ward off all disasters in the world.

　　The highest bidder wins.' Seeing everything surrounding me enveloped in colorful glass, I could even hear countless voices of excitement from behind closed boxes and railings.

　　Everyone enthusiastically called out their bids, and I was among them.

　　However, as the auction neared its end, I suddenly stopped, and in the end, it was Mu Junze who ultimately won it.

　　Just like in my previous life, he promptly sent the Western Region glass lamp to the capital city.

　　Before leaving, he proudly raised his eyebrows at me and said, 'Miss Second, I said I was determined to obtain it, and I will make sure to do so.' 'Whether it's the Western Region glass lamp or your elder sister, they can only belong to me in this lifetime!' 'Congratulations on getting what you wanted, Your Highness,' I said calmly.

　　Seeing me so calm, it was as if he had punched cotton.

　　I left him with a meaningful smile.

　　Considering the time, shouldn't those letters have been presented to the emperor by now? However, I didn't expect that the emperor's response would surprise everyone.

　　That day, the emperor's personal eunuch brought an imperial edict.

　　'The collusion between the official and merchants at the Qinzhou Auction House, the neglect of duty by the governor, and the taking of innocent lives.

　　Both individuals shall be sentenced to capital punishment.

　　The Ninth Prince's lax control resulted in using inferior substitute for the Western Region glass lamp, and he shall be sentenced to thirty lashes.

　　This is the command!' The emperor took swift action, resolving the issues at the auction house, and the governor became the scapegoat.

　　The eunuch watched Mu Junze being punished before leaving."

　　When Mu Junze returned to Mingyue Pavilion, he happened to see me with a smile on my face.

　　"Are you happy to see me being punished, Miss Er?" "Naturally.

　　I am especially delighted!" His expression turned cold as he whispered, "From childhood until now, I have always gotten what I wanted.

　　How does it feel to see me in such a predicament? From now on, everything in the Marquis of Xiaoyao's manor is under my control!" I smirked and whispered, "Mu Junze, when you have nightmares, do the remains of twenty-seven boys and girls haunt you?" He widened his eyes suddenly.

　　"If you walk the path at night, you will eventually encounter ghosts!" I said.

　　"Was it you who handed the letter from the auction house to the Emperor? What else do you know?" Seeing his shocked and fearful expression, I was extremely satisfied.

　　"Now you understand, but it's too late!" This is just the beginning.
