“Great Steward Gu, I am Su Kian, the ancestor of the Su family. I have co today to ask for your help.” Ancestor Su asked politely, “Have you heard about what happened to the Su family recently?”

“I know a little.” Gu Qingyou replied.

“To be honest, our Su family has encountered a big problem this ti. All of our assets have been swallowed up by that ruthless and ingrate Su Qian. However, she has the support of the Ninth Prince, so we dare not to provoke her. We had no choice but to beg Heavenly dicine Sect for help and borrowed their alchemist and prescription to cooperate with our Su family in selling elixirs to save ourselves.” When Ancestor Su ntioned Su Qian, he gritted his teeth fiercely.

Gu Qingyou put down his teacup and maintained his gentle smile. But if one looked closely, they would see no hint of a smile in his eyes, only a chilling coldness. “What can I do for you, Ancestor Su?”

Thinking that Gu Qingyou was willing to negotiate, Ancestor Su was overjoyed and said, “I want to ask Great Steward Gu to provide a large number of dicinal herbs for the Su family.”

Mu Qingxue hurriedly caught up and handed a list to Gu Qingyou. “This is the quantity of herbs we need and the nas of it.”

Gu Qingyou glanced through it briefly, raised his eyebrows, and sighed. “The amount of herbs you need is not a small sum.”

“That’s right. It’s precisely because the number of dicinal herbs required is too much that the other dicine workshop can’t gather them all. That’s why we had no choice but to co and ask for your help, Chief Steward.” Ancestor Su looked at Gu Qingyou nervously. “What’s wrong? Can’t the Chief Steward gather them?”

Since Ancestor Su had taken out a promissory note and had finally borrowed people from the Heavenly dicine Sect. Of course, he had to make use of these people to the fullest. For the next twenty days, the Su family would be busy refining dicine. They would undoubtedly restore their forr glory in twenty days. Even after paying the Heavenly dicine Sect, they would even have a large sum of money left over to hire assassins to kill Su Qian…

The only thing left was the dicinal herbs, which were the key to making the whole process work. At that ti, before the one-month deadline was up, Su Qian would die without a burial place, and the Su family would return to their peak.

Under their nervous gazes, Gu Qingyou smiled gently.” You’ve co to the right place. Our auction house just received a large batch of dicinal herbs yesterday that happen to match the requirents on your list.”

“That’s great. We want it now!” Ancestor Su said excitedly.

“Alright, then I’ll first discuss the price with Ancestor Su. The dicinal herbs you want are only first-grade dicinal herbs, so the price isn’t high. Each type of dicinal herb is priced between one to ten silver taels. Roughly speaking, you had to pay us 110,000 taels of gold. However, seeing that this is our first ti doing business, I’ll give you a discount. Just 100,000 taels of gold will do.” Gu Qingyou’s mind raced as he spoke and smiled.

100,000 gold taels!

The mont this price was ntioned, Ancestor Su’s legs weakened.

The Su family’s assets that Su Qian took away were only 60,000 taels of gold, not to ntion 100,000 taels of gold. It was simply too much.

Mu Qingxue lowered her voice and said anxiously, “Don’t hesitate. At this price, once the elixir is refined, it can be sold for at least five tis the price!”

Ancestor Su readily agreed upon hearing this and nodded without hesitation,” Alright, deal. When Great Steward Gu will have the dicinal herbs ready?”

“As a businessman, as long as Mr. Su’s money is in place, I’ll imdiately have soone to send the dicinal herbs to you.” Gu Qingyou said in a gentle tone.

Ancestor Su’s mouth twitched awkwardly. He suspected that Gu Qingyou was doing this on purpose.. “Great Steward Gu, don’t you know about the Su family’s current situation? Can we owe the money first? After a month, I will definitely hand over 100,000 gold taels without missing a single cent!”
