Chapter 256 Rare Treasures

"My Lady Concubine, please take a look at the treasure that Lord Yu gave you."

The servant said this and directed two big men to put the box in front of Su Nuan and open it.

As soon as the lid of the box was opened, a golden paulownia tree came into view.

The tree was made of pure gold, with all kinds of birds perched on its branches. All the birds looked towards the phoenix on the highest branch, which was looking down at the other birds with its long tail.

This is actually a three-dimensional bird paying homage to the phoenix made of pure gold.

Su Nuan was amazed at what she saw.

“This is a treasure!”

Chu Qizhe, who had not walked far, came back to watch the fun. "This is the legendary Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix. I heard that there are a total of 108 birds on the whole tree, and each one is different. Look, this is a sparrow, this one should be a swallow, and this one covered by leaves with only claws showing seems to be an eagle..."

Chu Qi counted them one by one, and he was determined not to stop until he had counted a hundred and eight birds.

Su Nuan coughed lightly and asked, "This thing should be very expensive, right?"

Unconsciously, she had already regarded Chu Qi as an expert.

"It's not a question of whether it's expensive or not. It's that this thing is unique in the world and there's nowhere else to buy it even if you have money."

"Let me make one for you—"

Su Nuan was interrupted before she could finish her words, "No, no, I can't do that. It is said that the person who built this thing is not a mortal."

"If you are not a mortal, how can you be a god?"

"Maybe it was made by a god. Look at the feathers on the bird's head being blown by the wind. Which craftsman in the world could have made such a thing?"

Su Nuan doesn't believe that there are gods in this world, but she believes that this thing is extremely precious.

This should be the heirloom that Lord Yu mentioned.

Lord Yu is very generous for his daughter.

Since Su Nuan became the boss of UBS Building, she has been in contact with treasures every day and has developed a certain appreciation ability for treasures.

This tree is a rare treasure. There are few treasures comparable to it in the treasury of the Prince’s Palace.

However, Lord Yu gave the tree to save his daughter. If Su Nuan accepted the tree, it would mean that she agreed to let Yu Zhiqiu go. Although she had no intention of taking Yu Zhiqiu's life, she still had to make her suffer a little, and she didn't want people to think that she was someone who could be easily manipulated by treasures.

So she forced herself to look away from the golden tree, and then said to the servant in a pretentious manner: "Tell them to carry the things back and tell Master Yu that I don't want them."

“Stop!” Chu Qi tried to stop him, “This is a rare treasure, it’s hard to even take a look at it. Why don’t you accept it after someone gave it to you?”

Su Nuan rolled her eyes at him and thought, don’t I want to accept it?

"Do you know why Lord Yu gave me this treasure?"

"Who cares why? It's worth it!"

Su Nuan was speechless and didn't want to continue talking nonsense with Chu Qi, so she told the servant again, "Send it back."

The servant said in embarrassment: "My Lady Concubine, this is a token of Lord Yu's kindness. Would you like to consider it again?"

"Is it your turn to teach me how to do things?" Su Nuan said unhappily.

The servant knelt down in front of Su Nuan and said repeatedly, "I dare not."

At this time, whispers were heard all around.

"This Concubine Xia is too unkind. The master has given her the heirloom, so why is she still being so unreasonable?"

"She is jealous of our young lady. The master wants to marry the young lady to the Crown Prince and asked the cousin to be the matchmaker. Concubine Xia must have known about this and she is just trying to find out what the young lady did wrong. I'm afraid that even if the master gives her a mountain of gold, let alone a family heirloom, it won't save the young lady."

"How do you know such a thing?"

"Yesterday, when my cousin was talking to the Crown Prince in the study, I was waiting by his side. Don't tell anyone else. If the master finds out, he will definitely give me a beating."

"Don't worry, I'm tight-lipped."

......

The more Su Nuan listened, the angrier she became. She didn't expect Mu Yunshu to do this before leaving. It seemed that the cousin was her biological sister, and she, the sister-in-law, could not compare with her cousin. Or maybe Xia Qingyao didn't hold enough status in his heart!

You dare to stab me in the back, you little bastard? I’ll deal with you when I get back!

For now, let’s deal with the Yu family’s father and daughter first.

Since Lord Yu is trying to steal my girl, why should I be polite to him?

So, Su Nuan waved her hand and told the servant, "Send the box to my yard."

The servant boy was delighted when he heard this and immediately asked the two big men who were carrying the boxes to work.

Chu Qi was even happier, and his eyes were shining when he looked at Su Nuan.

"Master, can you lend me this treasure? I won't take it away. Just let me look at it in your yard."

"Okay, you can come with me. You can go every day from now on and watch in my yard."

Men are unreliable, making money is the kingly thing. Chu Qi doesn't look very smart, but he has good skills. Su Nuan intends to train him, so she naturally cannot miss the opportunity for him to learn and improve.

If this treasure wasn't so precious and she didn't know Chu Qi's character, she would have been willing to have someone take the treasure back for research on Su Nuan.

To cultivate talents, you must be willing to invest.

When Su Nuan returned to her yard, Mu Yunting was already waiting for her.

"Yu Mo Ling came here and pleaded for his daughter."

Su Nuanxin said that this son-in-law was unqualified. He mentioned his future father-in-law by name and showed no respect at all.

"Lord Yu also gave me a gift, which I really like. Your Highness, would you like to come and appreciate it as well?"

After saying that, Su Nuan asked someone to move the golden tree out for Mu Yunting to review.

Mu Yunting glanced at him and said calmly, "He is quite smart. The gift he gave you is very suitable for your status."

Su Nuan sighed inwardly, he was worthy of being the crown prince, he saw a lot of fine things, and even gave such precious things to her, a concubine. She didn't know what kind of treasures he had in mind for his principal wife.

Su Nuan suddenly became curious and asked, "What does the most valuable treasure you have ever seen look like?"

Hearing this, Mu Yunting looked at Su Nuan deeply, replied her with eight words "extraordinary, unique", and then went back to the house with a red face.

Su Nuan looked at Mu Yunting's back and opened her mouth, but couldn't say a word.

Everyone’s treasure is extraordinary and unique!

Also, why is he blushing? Is he thinking of someone?

Yes, I must have thought of the person dear to my heart, and my face turned red with embarrassment.

It's over, I can't keep this man anymore.

Su Nuan was in a depressed mood and didn't want to go back to the house to face Mu Yunting, so she simply asked someone to bring pen and ink and ran to the side room to draw the blueprint.

The treasure was placed in another room, and Chu Qi lay on it counting birds.

The yard was unnaturally quiet for a moment.

After Mu Yunting returned to the room, the calm look on his face disappeared. He sat on the couch and looked at the door expectantly.

It was the first time I said sweet words to her, and I don’t know if she understood it.

She must be very happy!

Are you going to fly into my arms when you come in later?

No, her leg isn't healed yet, so I'll go hold her.

......

Why haven't you come in yet? Are you shy?
