“You’re just too young. So what if Liu Qi finds out? From now on, Lu Ying will not leave the mansion until she sells the elixirs. Liu Qi has no evidence, so we don’t have to be afraid.” Ancestor Su said shamelessly.
“Ancestor Su is right. Shopkeeper Liu Qi has never spread the news that the Qian Yao Pavilion has a fifth-grade elixir. Even if they come looking for us, as long as they don’t see me, it will just be her words against ours. No one will believe her.” Lu Ying smiled smugly.
“You’re right. Moreover, with this elixir, our Su family has a chance of making a comeback.” Ancestor Su looked at Lu Ying lovingly, “Good child, you can leave first. After we deal with this elixir, we will definitely reward you heavily.”
Lu Ying was originally an unfavored lady born from the Third Elder’s concubine. Although she was also a young lady of the Su family, she had been quietly living in obscurity. However, with Ancestor Su’s words, she would definitely be able to live comfortably in the future.
“Yes.” Lu Ying left happily. Before she left, she did not forget to close the door of the hall, leaving the Ancestor Su and Su Chenghua in the hall to admire the elixir.
“Ancestor Su, how do you plan to deal with this elixir?” Su Chenghua raised his head and asked with a smile.
“Of course, we have to deal with it as soon as possible. This thing is a hot potato. We have to take action at once and sell it before Qian Yao Pavilion can react.”
“Forefather, I have an idea.” Su Chenghua smiled and said, “Just now, when the great steward of the Feng Lin Auction House sent someone to ask us if we wanted to sell the Soul Cleansing Elixirs, he said that there would be a grand auction in the auction house the day after tomorrow. Not only will it be held in the largest central auction hall in the auction house, but the auction house is also waiving all middleman fees for the auction this time. Why don’t we put the elixir up for auction? When the time comes, we’ll sell it all at once. Even if the Qian Yao Pavilion finds out, by that time we have money, Gong Nan won’t be our match anymore!”
“Yes, that’s a good idea.” Ancestor Su pondered for a moment and fondled the elixir bottle in his hand lovingly. He said seriously, “This fifth-grade elixir is our only chance to turn things around. We must not make any mistakes. Go to Hu Men Escort Agency now and hire some powerful experts to protect the elixir!”
“Ancestor, hiring an armed escort is a good idea, but, but we don’t have money now,” Su Chenghua said weakly.
Hiring an armed escort would cost at most a thousand taels of gold, but the Su family was in dire straits and could not even afford this little money.
“Damn it, when has our Su family ever been so destitute?” Ancestor Su gritted his teeth and forced out a sentence, “Doesn’t Great Steward Gu want the Soul Cleansing Elixir? Then sell all the Soul Cleansing Elixirs to him and use the money to hire an armed escort!”
“Yes, I’ll do it now.” Su Chenghua nodded quickly and left the hall.
The Su family was now being closely watched by everyone in the imperial capital, so the news that Su Chenghua had gone to Gu Qingyou to sell the Soul Cleansing Elixirs quickly spread throughout the streets.
When everyone heard the news, their first reaction was to sigh.
To think that the Su family had such a big business, but they had actually fallen to such a state. Especially when everyone heard that Great Steward Gu of the Feng Lin Auction House had actually lowered the price of each Soul Cleansing Elixir by 30 gold coins. The Su family had still agreed to sell it, they unanimously felt that the Su family must have gone crazy.. Otherwise, why would they do such a bad deal that would leave them with nothing?
