Chapter 384: Scarcity Makes Things Valuable



Cheng Suihua took the key and nodded, "Don't worry, Seventh Brother, I have Lan Xin, Qi Zhiyong, and Ji Yongjia to help me, you don't have to worry."

Qi Zhiyong, who was standing aside, straightened his back instantly upon hearing this.

He had just returned from the Fire Phoenix Kingdom and was entrusted with an important task by King Qianhuang. It was his honor.

He still understands the principle of "it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix".

Following King Qianhuang would certainly give him a chance to rise to prominence, but there were too many talented people around King Qianhuang, so the possibility of it being his turn was not high.

The six tiger generals all looked very brave and powerful. Even if he practiced for another ten years, he would not be able to catch up with them.

But it’s different when you’re with the eldest lady.

Few people around the eldest lady know Bailong City well, but he is the only one who knows every street and alley in Bailong City like the back of his hand. Naturally, the eldest lady will make use of him in the future.

"I will follow Madam faithfully and accept your orders."

Ji Yongjia glanced at Qi Zhiyong and pursed his lips. "I will do whatever the Madam orders me to do."

After saying this, Ji Yongjia lowered his eyelids, with a hint of loss in his eyes.

He thought Shen Yong would take him with him.

However, Shen Yong didn't even bring Zhang Wenyuan with him, which made him feel a little more balanced.

Shen Yong glanced at a few people and opened his mouth to speak when a voice from the courtyard interrupted him.

"Your Highness, there is a girl named Ran Xiangyu at the gate of the mansion. She said she...she is the princess and wants to see Your Highness."

Cheng Suihua listened to the soldier's report, his brows furrowed instantly, and he looked at Shen Yong with a frown.

Lu Man slammed the table in anger, "Why is she haunting me?"

"Ran Xiangyu is so shameless to say that." Cao Huixian grumbled in dissatisfaction.

"She regretted the engagement first, and now she's doing it again... Humph!"

Chen Yong looked at the dissatisfied looks of his sisters-in-law and his forehead thumped twice.

This damn woman really gave him a headache.

Shen Yong sighed, frowned and said,

"Bring her in."

He wanted to see what Ran Xiangyu could come up with.

The original owner did spend a lot of Ran Xiangyu's money, and there was no denying that.

Calculate the amount of silver and return it to her.

Anyway, he was unwilling to marry Ran Xiangyu.

This woman is unreliable and could easily stab him in the back.

The sisters-in-law looked at Chen Yong in surprise, their eyes full of disapproval.

Lu Man looked at Shen Yong angrily, "Seventh brother, why are you meeting her?"

"Have you forgotten how she regretted her marriage?"

Given the Shen family's situation at the time, she could understand Ran Xiangyu's decision to break off the engagement, but what Ran Xiangyu said was really unpleasant, which meant that the two families had already broken up.

She really couldn't understand why Ran Xiangyu had the nerve to approach him again and again. Even if she was a merchant's daughter, she had grown up in luxury and should have some sense of shame.

She had never seen a woman as shameless as Ran Xiangyu who kept coming up to her again and again.

Chen Yong sighed and looked at Lu Man.

"Third sister-in-law, of course I haven't forgotten what she said."

"But this matter must come to an end. Let's see what she wants to do."

"I did use a lot of her money back then. I'll pay her back what I owe her, and we'll be even now."

"Seventh brother is right." Cheng Suihua nodded, "We really need to put an end to this, so that Ran Xiangyu won't continue to make trouble outside."

Cao Huixian rolled her eyes twice, took out a stack of banknotes from her arms, stood up and walked to Shen Yong, and placed the banknotes on the table next to Shen Yong.

"Seventh brother, this is... one million taels of silver. It should be more than enough to compensate Ran Xiangyu."

Qiuyue is really awesome. She took those packaging boxes and sold them for several million taels of silver.

She carried these banknotes with her simply because they were convenient to carry.

There are still dozens of boxes of gold and silver in the storehouse of her elegant palace.

The glass bottles of skin care products given by my seventh brother were sold at a sky-high price in the Fire Phoenix Country, which was no different from picking up money.

She went from being delighted at first to becoming numb when Qiuyue brought back boxes of gold.

She just gave away her empty glass bottles of skin care products a few days ago, and it is estimated that she can sell them for hundreds of thousands of taels.

The royal family of the Fire Phoenix Kingdom is very fond of glass bottles, and they will scramble for any one they take out.

Chen Yong looked at the stack of banknotes on the table, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

He has always known that Sixth Sister-in-law was selling cosmetic packaging boxes through the Assassination Pavilion.

Those things were quite valuable, and he didn't compete with his Sixth Sister-in-law for the way to make money.

The less of this kind of thing there is, the better the price it can fetch.

The slow pace of Sixth Sister-in-law really attracted the hearts of the royal family of Fire Phoenix Country, and the price also soared again and again, which was quite good.

Lu Man looked at Cao Huixian in shock, "Sixth Brother, where did you get one million taels?"

Oh my God, what happened? Why is my sixth brother’s wife suddenly so rich?

This is not ten thousand taels, it's one hundred thousand taels.

Qi Zhiyong's eyes nearly popped out of his head in shock.

He took a hundred kilograms of refined salt to the Fire Phoenix Kingdom and only sold it for 30,000 taels of silver.

Looking at the soft and gentle Sixth Madam in front of him, he could actually take out 1 million taels of silver at will.

How much wealth does the Shen family have?

Ji Yongjia looked at Cao Huixian in shock.

The Cao family...it's impossible for them to give Cao Huixian such a large dowry.

Even if they were given money, they had nothing when they were exiled.

Ji Yongjia's eyes flickered slightly as he glanced at the stack of banknotes on the table, his heart full of doubts.

There are not many households in the capital who can easily come up with so much silver.

Cao Huixian was startled, raised her eyelids and looked at the surprised faces of her sisters-in-law, then pursed her lips in embarrassment.

"Uh... I took the skincare product packaging box that my seventh brother gave us to the Fire Phoenix Nation and sold it."

"It's just that... the people of Fire Phoenix Country really like those things, and they pay quite high prices for them."

Cao Huixian gave a wry smile and moved to her seat and sat down under the gaze of her sisters-in-law.

Lu Man looked at Cao Huixian in disbelief.

"Isn't this too valuable?"

"I have a ton more there."

"Sixth Brother, how did you get them to sell? Sell my boxes too."

Lu Man excitedly grabbed Cao Huixian's hand.

Her dressing room was filled with cosmetic boxes and several empty glass bottles.

Cao Huixian was stunned for a moment, then turned her head to look at Qiuyue who was standing behind her.

"Uh...Qiuyue helped me get these and sell them. I don't know the details of what happened."

Ji Yongjia looked at Lu Man with curiosity. What kind of box could be so valuable? He would ask his cousin later.

Qi Zhiyong's eyes widened even more. They were both going to the Fire Phoenix Country, so why was there such a huge difference in the amount of money they earned?

He thought the refined salt was sold at a sky-high price, but it turned out to be worth less than a box.
