Chapter 505: Chapter 505: Earned another Fortune_1

“Miss, there really are a lot of people!”

Xiumei observed the crowd excitedly. The people who came were either well-dressed sons and daughters of esteemed families, or house managers representing their masters. These people had completely blocked Suzaku Street.

“When a person is alive, they have as many belongings as they desire, thus they don’t hold any value. When they’re dead, what’s left are the few worldly possessions they leave behind, which naturally become rarities. More people are naturally drawn to bid on these items,” said Wei Ruo.

“Miss, your idea is really great!” Xiumei admired Wei Ruo as always.

“Also, having King Rui Residence as our backing helps a lot,” Wei Ruo added.

If it weren’t for the support of King Rui Residence, the Qi Family and Lu Family would likely both be applying pressure, and they wouldn’t be allowed to auction off Xu Heyou’s possessions.

Butler Yun Zixiu from Wang Residence is presiding over the auction ceremony.

The auction items included: ten boxes of Scar Removal Cream, eight bottles of Hemostatic Medicine, three bottles of Wind-cold Medicine, twelve pieces of Tiger Balm, and twenty Pain-relieving Patches.

The auction was conducted with each type of item sold separately, with the highest bidder taking all.

The first item to be auctioned off was the ten boxes of Scar Removal Cream.

Everyone had thought it would be a lively bidding war. However, as soon as it began, the representative from the Qi Family offered an astonishing bid of five thousand taels of silver.

This caused the other families who were just there to participate in the auction to lose interest.

No matter how good Divine Doctor Xu’s medicine was, it was just for minor ailments, not life-saving ones. Who would spend such an enormous amount of money just for some scar-healing cream?

Additionally, no one wanted to unnecessarily provoke the Qi family.

Only the Lu family didn’t back down and started to compete with the Qi Family. After ten-or-so rounds of bidding, the price quickly escalated to over ten thousand taels.

The crowd watching was stunned. They didn’t expect the competition today to be so intense.

Anyone with a keen eye could see that today’s fight wasn’t just about the medicine, but a grudge match between the two families.

Both the Qi Family and the Lu Family had ongoing grudges against each other since the explosion incident. It was clear to see that, despite the Emperor’s mediation in the past, the two families still despised each other.

After several more rounds of bidding, the Qi Family finally won the ten boxes of Scar Removal Cream with a winning bid of sixteen thousand taels of silver. This worked out to be one thousand and six hundred taels per box.

This was just the first item, and it had already reached such a high price. There are still several more items to be auctioned. Today’s auction might net the King Rui Residence tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Wei Mingyong was stunned upon hearing this.

Was it really that easy to earn money? A few boxes of scar cream sold for such an enormous amount of silver? That’s an amount that many common families wouldn’t earn in several generations!

Looking at it this way, it wasn’t so foolish for Wanwan to spend two thousand taels on a box of Scar Removal Cream.

Previously, he and his wife had laughed at Wanwan behind her back, saying that she must have been out of her mind to borrow two thousand taels to buy a box of Scar Removal Cream.

It seems that there really are a lot of fools who care about their appearance in this world!

In the crowd, Wei Ruo was quite satisfied with the outcome.

“Capital City is indeed a great place,” Wei Ruo said.

If this was in Huzhou Prefecture, where she used to live, this kind of spectacle wouldn’t be possible, and the prices wouldn’t be so high either.

Lin Fang nudged Xiumei with her elbow and asked, “Has the young lady always been so skilled at making money?”

“Yes, the young lady has always known how to earn money,” Xiumei proudly replied.
