Bab 68: A Strange Painting

Vivian was holding and looking carefully at a porcelain rouge and powder box with a dragon and phoenix carving. The porcelain box was cold to the touch, but Vivian thought the carving was exquisite, so she held it and studied it for a long time. When she heard Fred calling her, she quickly returned to her senses.

Vivian reached out and took the bottle. "Let me see."

It was still cold to the touch, but Vivian still held the porcelain and looked at it for a few minutes, then whispered, "Mr. Fred, this is a fake."

Fred's eyes widened when he heard this. He whispered to confirm, "Are you sure?"

Vivian nodded and put the porcelain back on the ground. The one-eyed vendor saw their expressions and knew Vivian must have said something to make him lose his business.
