“No.” Gu Qingyou rejected the Ancestor Su without thinking. His smile still seemed gentle. “It’s an unalterable principle to pay for the goods. Our Fenglin Auction House never gives credit. It’s a rule set by the master. There are no exceptions.”
“Great Steward Gu, rules are meant to be broken. As long as you don’t speak of it, your master won’t find out. Don’t worry, as long as you agree, Ancestor Su will definitely repay you generously once the deal is done.” Mu Qingxue persuaded with a charming smile.
“Yes, yes, yes. This is all negotiable.” The Su family nodded and agreed.
This batch of medicinal herbs worth 100,000 gold taels could turn into 500,000 gold taels. Of that, 150,000 taels would be given to the Heavenly Medicine Sect as a reward. After deducting the capital of 100,000 gold taels, even if they gave Gu Qingyou 50,000 gold taels, the Su family would still have 200,000 gold taels left. It was a sure-win deal
“The rules set by Master are absolute and cannot be changed.” Gu Qingyou said calmly, returning the list to Ancestor Su. “The medicinal herbs are here. As long as Ancestor Su can raise the fund, I will definitely sell them to you at a low price and be friends with your Su family. However, if the 100,000 gold taels are not ready, 1’11 have to sell the herbs to others. Please send the guests off.”
“Great Steward Gu, Great Steward Gu!” Ancestor Su could not stop him and could only watch as Gu Qingyou left.
“Ancestor Su, you must find a way to get the money. This price is already very low. If you are late, I’m afraid that you might miss out on such a good deal.” Mu Qingxue quickly reminded.
“But 1 don’t have that much money…” Ancestor Su looked at Mu Qingxue expectantly. “As for your Heavenly Medicine Sect…”
“Ancestor Su, our Heavenly Medicine Sect is only willing to help because your brother is an elder of our sect. Don’t push it too far.” Mu Qingxue said coldly.
“1,1 was just talking nonsense. Miss Mu, pretend you didn’t hear me. As for the money, I will think of a way,” Ancestor Su said with a sigh, then left with Mu Qingxue.
Time flew. Late that night in the inn room.
Su Ye and Su Qingqing were already fast asleep. Su Qian held the children in her arms, sleeping soundly.
“Hiss…” At this moment, a hissing sound came from out of thin air. Immediately after, a small snake quickly entered the room through the door and went to Su Qian’s bedside. It rubbed its head against her face in a fawning manner.
“What’s the matter?” Su Qian seemed to recognize this little black snake. Seeing the little black snake lower its head, she untied the red silk thread wrapped around its neck.
After glancing at the content on the red silk thread, Su Qian raised her eyebrows. After keeping the little snake in her arms, she quickly got up and changed into her night clothes. Then, she took out the chubby rabbit that was sleeping soundly under the blanket and said, “I’m going to see All You. Take good care of the kids, got it?”
“1,1 know…Huff,” the gray rabbit replied, rolled its eyes and almost fell asleep.
Su Qian looked at the unreliable gray rabbit and heaved a sigh of relief. She then instructed the little wolf lying on the bedside before finally leaving with peace of mind.
Fifteen minutes later, in Gu Qingyou’s room in the backyard of the Feng Lin Auction House.
Gu Qingyou was alone in the elegant room.
The table was set with exquisite dishes. Gu Qingyou was dressed even more elegantly than during the day. He wore a white jade crown and a green robe. He heard a faint sound behind him.
Gu Qingyou turned his head to see Su Qian in her night clothes pushing open the door and entering. He couldn’t help but smile and bowed respectfully, saying, “Greetings, Master..”
