He handed a small gold medal to Qin Luo.

"This is the VIP badge for Wangu Auction House. From now on, you will enjoy top-level treatment no matter which Wangu store you visit!"

Qin Luo looked at the small gold medal in her hand again and again.

"Is this any different from the baby's bell?"

Yuan Lao smiled as he watched Wu Hua scribbling with a calligraphy brush.

"The bell represents me personally, and the gold medal represents eternity!"

Qin Luo was very curious about Elder Yuan's identity. How could an old man in charge of appraisal be given such great authority?

Yuan Lao seemed to see the doubt in her eyes.

"No need to think about it anymore. I am the owner of Wangu. Appraisal and auctioning are purely personal hobbies! These were originally established for my son, but unfortunately he..."

Hearing the sadness in his voice, Wu Hua put down her brush, went over and tugged at his sleeve.

"Grandpa, hug me!"

Old Yuan instantly forgot his grief and started to laugh while holding Wu Hua.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door of the private room.

"Excuse me, I am the steward of the Nie family. My master sent me to return your greetings!"

Qin Luo, who was still reeling from the shock of Yuan Lao's identity, was brought back to her senses.

She gestured for Old Wen to open the door, and a very wealthy-looking butler entered the room and stood to one side.

Then he waved his hand behind him, and the servants entered the house one by one.

They put their things down and went outside, continuing this process for about 15 minutes before they finished putting everything down.

Thankfully, the private rooms in the top-tier section were quite large, and even then, most of them were occupied.

Qin Luo, Wu Hua, Old Yuan, and Old Wen were forced to squeeze together.

After confirming that everything was in place, the butler bowed to Qin Luo.

"My patriarch also asked me to pass on a message to you!"

Qin Luo nodded to him, and then the steward said, "He was unaware that you two were cousins ​​of the Duke of Qi's family. He was blind! He hopes that you will forgive him and offer a small gift to express his gratitude. He hopes that you will not refuse!"

Qin Luo: Huh?

Wu Hua: Hahahaha~ I've been promoted to a higher level!

Mr. Yuan: Indeed, he has quite a background!

Old Wen: Oh my god!

The four had a great deal of inner turmoil, but none of them uttered a word.

Qin Luo suddenly remembered Qi Yong's words about "cleaning up the mess," which probably meant using the power of the Duke of Qi's mansion to intimidate this area.

She gave an awkward laugh twice.

"Haha, keep it low-key, keep it low-key!"

Butler: The master is indeed wise. He was the first to come and give gifts after hearing the news. If he is not the richest man, who is?

Yuan Lao looked at Wu Hua with a troubled expression: Could it be that he had encountered a noble lady when he was young?

Old Wen: My God! It's true!

The butler bowed to Qin Luo.

"Young master, my patriarch also said that if you would do me the honor, the Nie family would welcome you at any time. If you don't have time, that's fine too. All of the Nie family's properties will treat you as an honored guest. I hope you have a good time in Hanyun County!"

Qin Luo exchanged a few polite words, rewarded him with fifty taels of silver, and then asked him to leave.

After the others left, the people inside looked at each other awkwardly.

In the end, it was Wu Hua who broke the atmosphere.

"Grandpa, where's Wen Yushu? Why didn't you bring him up?"

Upon hearing this, Elder Yuan suddenly realized what was happening. He looked at Old Wen, then at Qin Luo.

Knowing what he was thinking, Qin Luo said, "Elder Yuan, please speak freely!"

Seeing that she didn't seem to care, Mr. Yuan then took out a key and a note from his pocket and handed them to her.

"I had someone place Wen Yushu at my private residence beforehand. Here is the key and address. You can go and pick it up later. I will secretly send more guards to protect you!"

Qin Luo hadn't expected him to be so considerate; he was probably only doing it because of Wu Hua.

She bowed to Mr. Yuan to express her gratitude.

"I'd also trouble you to have these gifts moved over as well. I'll take them away later. We don't need any guards; we have our own ways of protecting ourselves!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Lao did not insist.

"Alright, I'll inform them. After you arrive, have them withdraw, taking the gold medal as their command!"

"Great! Thank you, Mr. Yuan!"

After they finished chatting, Qin Luo and Wu Hua led Lao Wen out of the auction house. It was already late afternoon (7 PM).

Mr. Yuan wanted to invite her to stay for dinner, but Qin Luo said that Wu Hua was eating too much and her little mouth was never stopping, so Mr. Yuan gave up!

He then instructed the fifth steward to send the group back before turning to leave!

Qin Luo first gave Lao Wen a water pouch filled with stream water, instructing him to make sure the young master drank it when he returned, saying it could save his life.

They made an appointment to meet at the entrance of the Bafang Inn at noon the next day, and then they would go together to treat his young master.

Old Wen gratefully kowtowed to Qin Luo in thanks, then grabbed the water pouch and ran towards the Wen family's direction.

Seeing that he had run far away, Qin Luo prepared to take Wu Hua to Liang Yu's house, but Liang Yu, who had been dismissed from his post, had not yet left.

He squatted in the corner outside the auction house waiting for them, and overheard her talking to Lao Wen.

He didn't go up to disturb them, and only called out to the two after they had left.

"Brother Qin, my little ones! You've finally come out!"

Qin Luo and Wu Hua looked over at the sound and saw Liang Yu leaning against the wall, massaging his legs.

His legs must have gone numb from squatting for too long, so the two of them quickly walked to his side.

Wu Hua fed him a pill

"Eat it quickly, your legs will stop feeling numb after you eat it!"

Liang Yu didn't care what it was being fed; he just opened his mouth and swallowed it.

Then his eyes widened.

"This...this...could this be the elixir that was rumored to have been sold today?! The effects are incredible!"

Wu Hua didn't care whether he would be frightened or not; she nodded her little head rapidly, deliberately teasing him.

"How about it? Isn't it immediately effective? You feel stronger now!"

Upon hearing this, Liang Yu's legs went weak with fear again.

"More than two million taels per piece, and I swallowed it in one gulp?"

Qin Luo knew that, given his personality, he would probably feel terribly guilty.

He patted him on the shoulder and chuckled casually.
