After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

“Congratulations to the guest in Box 306, who won the fourth lot, a set of five emerald rings, for 5 taels of silver.

Let us all congratulate the guests in Box 306 and do our part to help the disaster relief efforts.”

The host Mei Niang on the stage led the applause, and the staff and guests in the auction hall also applauded. The atmosphere on the scene suddenly reached a climax. Except for Tong Guoan and Tong Wencai, father and son, who had livid faces, everyone else was in high spirits, including the Emperor of China Guardian who did not show up in public.

"Yes, Miss Li is really good at handling things. She did a great job. She has only auctioned four items and has earned nearly 4 taels of silver. Now there is enough money in the national treasury to resettle the victims."

Seeing that Emperor Jiade is in a good mood, Li Shiliu will of course take the opportunity to take advantage of him.

After a somewhat arrogant snort, Li Shiliu wrinkled her nose and said, "Of course, I have put a lot of thought into this auction."

"Okay, okay, there will be a reward later."

In the exclusive box, Emperor Jiade and Li Shiliu were having a great time, but the Tong family in box 306 were almost in a state of fury.

"Yue'er, do you have any banknotes with you today?"

The dignified Nine Gates Admiral Tong Guoan turned his head somewhat uncomfortably and looked at his beloved concubine Li Yue'er beside him.

"I did bring some, but not much, just 10,000 taels of silver.

Master, is there not enough money?"

Tong Guoan's thick black eyebrows could not help but twitch twice, and he said in an angry voice: "Who let Wencai, this stinky boy, fall into someone else's trap? I was prepared to spend a lot of money today, just as if I was buying peace, but Wencai's outfit from head to toe that day was worth at most 10 taels of silver. I originally brought taels of silver notes today, but now it seems that it is not enough."

"What should we do?

My lord, I only brought 1 taels of silver notes with me, and I'm afraid it won't be of much use.

Wencai, Wenyu, you two usually have plenty of money, how much did you bring this time?"

Tong Guoan and Li Yue'er both turned their hopeful eyes to the siblings Tong Wencai and Tong Wenyu.

"I only had some pocket money on me, a handful of pumpkin seeds and 100 taels of silver.

Normally when we go out with our parents, it’s not our turn to spend money.”

Tong Wencai's self-righteousness made Li Yue'er sigh, and she looked at her beloved daughter Tong Wenyu.

"Mom, I don't have any money on me.

Otherwise, I can just put my jewelry in the Tencent as a deposit and ask the butler to send the money over later."

Even though she is a bit spoiled, Tong Wenyu is at least a little smarter than Tong Wencai.

"Master, what Wenyu said is a good idea. The auction has already started. Even if we ask Butler Tong to go back and deliver the banknotes, we might miss the auction. Otherwise, we can use our jewelry and keepsakes as collateral. Tencent won't be so unaccommodating as to even this."

The considerate Li Yue'er gently held the irritable Tong Guoan and tried to comfort him in a soft voice.

Tong Guoan, who truly loved Li Yue'er, surprisingly reduced his boiling anger by half when he heard Li Yue'er's soft and gentle voice.

"For the sake of our Yueguo Mansion's reputation, this is the only thing we can do now."

Ringing the bell on the table, the Tong family called the maid at the door of the box.
