This question made Qin's face completely dark. Was Lu Taoxi deliberately going against her?
She was about to speak when she heard Song Jiao sigh, "Actually, as the eldest sister, I also want my younger sister to go to the academy, but her profound strength has always been at level one, and the academy's standard is at least level three."
The standard for the Imperial Academy is that one must have a third level of profound strength to enter.
Now the pressure is on Qin and Lu Yunli.
This time it was the turn of the three people to remain silent. The instructor naturally knew Lu Yunli's identity, but Xuanli was indeed the threshold for entry.
"Madam, Miss, the auction house has sent an invitation, inviting everyone from prominent families to participate in the auction in three days. They say there's a top-grade elixir."
At the gate, the butler came in with an invitation.
Hearing about the top-grade elixir, Lu Yunli's eyes lit up and he was the first to ask, "What kind of top-grade elixir?"
"It's said that it can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the body, and it can also increase the profound strength." The housekeeper handed the invitation to Lu Yunli, "Miss Seven, you should read it yourself."
Song Jiao just watched quietly from the side. The housekeeper really helped. She didn't expect the publicity to be so strong that the invitations were directly sent to the big families in the city.
"Eight million gold coins?" Lu Yunli was still a little surprised, but when he saw the effect of the pill, he suddenly felt that the price was acceptable.
But that was the starting price. Where could she find so much money?
She looked at Qin and handed the post to her.
Qin took a look at it, then handed the post to the housekeeper, "Okay, I got it!" She looked at Lu Yunli and met her expectant gaze, but she was in a dilemma for a moment, because the starting price was not a small amount.
Although her childhood sweetheart did give her a large sum of money, she has almost spent it all over the years. Where did she get so much money?
The instructor also became interested. After he saw the post from the housekeeper, he was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, "There's actually such an alchemist? I want to join in the fun too."
After three days, there is not much time in the next two days anyway.
"If Miss Seven can reach the third level of profound strength in three days, I can bring her to the Imperial Academy."
"I understand. Teacher, you've worked hard all the way. Go and rest for a while today." Qin was already feeling uneasy. She even looked at Song Jiao with some panic and disgust. "Tao Xi, I'll arrange this for you."
Song Jiao made a gesture of invitation, "Teacher, please come this way."
It would be a good opportunity to see if the grandfather and grandson would have a quarrel over money.
"Tuanzi, I remember that in the original plot, Lu Yunli's biological parents should have left a large sum of money for Lu Yunli, right?" Song Jiao asked in her heart.
Tuanzi looked it up and nodded, "About 30 to 40 million, but all of Qin's expenses in recent years have been using this money, so there shouldn't be much left."
"Check to see if there are any old members of the Chen family left. Hypnotize them and have someone find Lu Yunli. Tell her that her biological parents left her money."
The more Qin wants to cover up something, the more she will expose it.
"I'll do it right away." Tuanzi said seriously.
After arranging a place for the tutor to rest, he turned around and returned to Tanchun Garden.
I opened the system screen.
Lu Yunli continued to stand in the main hall, then knelt on the ground. "Grandma, Yunli has never asked you for anything before. This time, only you can help me. In this family, you are the only one who treats me the best. This is my only chance. If I can't get into the Imperial College, my life will be ruined."
Qin naturally knew what Lu Yunli meant. She turned around and sat in the main seat, leaning on her cane. Her eyes were dull. "Yunli, Grandma really wants to help you, but you can see that these eight million gold coins are just the starting price. How can Grandma afford that much money?"
Lu Yunli lowered her eyelids, her beautiful almond-shaped eyes misted with water. Her voice was filled with disappointment as she chuckled to herself, "Is this the only way my life will be? Father and mother are gone, and there's no place for me in the Lu Mansion."
"How come there is no place for you to stay? Hasn't grandma always protected you?" Qin was a little dissatisfied with this sentence, and her face became a lot colder.
Lu Yunli bit her red lips with her white teeth, tears about to fall, and she looked so pitiful.
Seeing Lu Yunli like this, Qin's heart was still somewhat moved. She immediately waved her hand and said, "Forget it. I will try my best to help you prepare some. As for how much it will be, I don't know!"
When Lu Yunli heard this, she immediately smiled happily, stood up, walked forward and held Qin's hands, "Grandma, I knew you were the best to me!"
"Don't be too happy too soon. You know I'm not the steward of the Lu family right now." Qin saw her expression change so quickly and raised her hand to gently tap her forehead. "But among all these granddaughters, you're the only one who cares about me the most."
"You are my grandmother. If I don't care about you, who should I care about?" Lu Yunli rubbed Qin's hand coquettishly.
Song Jiao was amazed when she saw this. Qin's stinginess had been a constant throughout the early plot, so why was she so generous? It didn't seem normal.
When something is abnormal, there must be something wrong!
For this purpose, she sent a pigeon to Lu's father, asking him to pay attention to the family property and not let Qin take it to make a wedding dress for Lu Yunli.
During these three days, more and more people came to Yicheng, and almost all the inns were full. People with different clothes could be seen everywhere.
Inside the carriage, Song Jiao lifted the curtain to look, then lowered it. The carriage was heading towards the auction house.
In order to avoid suspicion of her identity, she didn't even bring Zi Tao with her.
At the auction, she was greeted to the VPI box as soon as she walked in. The waiter looked at her flatteringly, "Miss, this is the best viewing box in our auction hall. From here you can clearly see the progress of the auction."
Song Jiao nodded in response and took out a few gold coins from her sleeve and handed them to the waiter, "Thank your boss for your arrangement for me."
The waiter nodded repeatedly, "This is what we should do. Miss, you can rest here. If you need anything, you can always tell us."
All the private rooms were already full, the hall was already packed, and many people gathered at the door, wanting to see what the unparalleled elixir looked like.
The carved wooden door was pushed open with a creak.
A man in white pushed the door open and walked in. He bowed to Song Jiao and said with a smile, "Miss, are you interested in making a deal with me?"
Song Jiao: "No interest, no deal!"
The man obviously didn't expect the other party to refuse him directly without even asking what the deal was.
"Miss, please don't be so quick to refuse. Could you please listen to what I have to say before making a decision?"
