After rebirth, the Queen of Madness has gone against the will of Heaven

"No matter how much Ms. Yu says, without my investment, it's all just empty talk. Besides, I believe even if you leave this door, you may not be able to find another person who can give you such a large investment, right? Besides, I have to bear a lot of risks, so the profit is 30% to 70%! You get 30% and I get 70%!"

Yu Qingli lowered her head, secretly calculating how much profit she could earn. She gritted her teeth and said firmly, "40% to 60%. If you don't agree, then Qingli will seek another partner!"

"make a deal!"

The silver mask glowed with a cold light, and it looked more and more like a fox spirit.

Yu Qingli finally breathed a sigh of relief. Unconsciously, her back was already soaked with sweat. Master Yu had obviously noticed Yu Qingli's predicament, and the smile on his lips softened again. "Miss, don't be nervous. Since I have already agreed to cooperate, I will not go back on my word. It's a rare opportunity for you to come to the Chamber of Commerce today. Why not take a look at this treasure appraisal meeting?"

Yu Qingli just wanted to leave as soon as possible. She had participated in several such conferences in her previous life. Apart from some rare antiques, there was nothing special there, and she had no interest in it.

However, she came here with Jiang Bai, and it would be inappropriate for her to leave so hastily. Since she was here and the business was settled, it would be okay for her to watch the conference.

Yu Qingli sat back in her seat and looked down from the attic of the elegant hall. The scene downstairs was in full view, and even the clamor of treasure hunting was as close as her ears. In the Magnolia Hall next door, several shopkeepers were also waiting with great interest to see what treasures would appear today.

Only Jiang Bai looked absent-minded. What on earth were the young lady and Mr. Yu talking about? He was really anxious. But the shopkeeper Lu next to him kept asking some random questions.

"Manager Jiang, you're truly a secretive person. We didn't realize you had any connection to a high-ranking official in the imperial court. Since Miss Yu calls you uncle, does that mean you're a relative of Prime Minister Yu's?"

Jiang Bai ignored him and only cast his gaze towards the treasure display platform downstairs.

Shopkeepers Liu and Wang, standing nearby, hadn't changed much. Since ancient times, officials and merchants had been inseparable. While their status as merchants was low, how many truly successful businessmen didn't have the support of the government? Both Liu and Wang had connections within the court. While they couldn't compare to Prime Minister Yu, they weren't to be trifled with.

Shopkeeper Lu was still babbling non-stop. Jiang Bai glanced at him coldly and said, "Shopkeeper Lu, if you don't want to participate in this treasure appraisal conference, you can leave and don't disturb others' treasure appraisal."

After being interrupted by Jiang Bai, Lu Jin shut up in embarrassment. He actually just wanted to cling to the big tree of Yu Mansion. People who do business know that if you lean on a big tree, you can enjoy the shade. What's more, he is a favorite of the emperor. It is possible that this business will be brought to the palace.

But looking at Jiang Bai's attitude now, it seems that he is very wary of Lu Jin and has no intention of getting to know him at all.

Shopkeeper Liu and the others glanced at Jiang Bai and said, "Don't worry, Shopkeeper Jiang. The young master knows his limits. Besides, Miss Yu is a famous and talented woman. I'm sure nothing will happen to her."

Jiang Bai nodded slightly, "Thank you, Manager Liu, for reminding me. I'm just a little worried that the young lady might offend the young master."

Before Manager Liu could say something, a servant came over and distributed the signs to several managers.

The rules of this treasure appraisal conference are that any treasure that appears on the appraisal platform has the opportunity to be snatched by anyone present, and the highest bidder wins! Those who want to bid can raise a sign.

Yu Qingli in the elegant hall also got the opportunity to bid, but she was not interested!

An exquisite wooden box appeared on the treasure appraisal platform. Everyone present was very excited. Then, a middle-aged man walked out from behind the curtain and walked up to the high treasure appraisal platform.

"Everyone, first of all, thank you all for coming to our annual treasure appraisal conference. Today, we have three priceless collections on display. I'm sure you all here will not be disappointed!"

After a brief statement, the middle-aged man carefully picked up the wooden box, and the scene was silent!

Everyone held their breath, staring at the treasure box on the high platform with wide eyes, with a hint of anticipation on their faces. Even Jiang Bai and the others in the Magnolia Hall couldn't help but stare at the wooden box out of curiosity.

When the wooden box was opened, the glittering light inside made everyone present open their eyes wide. It was so beautiful!

It was a blood-red bead, as gorgeous as the sunset glow, and with a hint of the moistness of morning dew. Even in that huge hall, it shone with a dazzling red light that made people unable to take their eyes away.

This is the mermaid's tears!

The middle-aged man introduced: "This is an extremely rare blood tear bead. The blood red inside the bead is actually the blood of the mermaid, which coagulated when she shed tears, forming this precious jewel."

Normal mermaid tears are transparent, but this blood-red one was the first time I had seen one. Even Yu Qingli, who had originally shown little interest in this treasure appraisal conference, couldn't help but wonder, "Where did you get this?"

Young Master Yu just smiled and said nothing. He naturally had his own channels. Of course, he couldn't tell this to the woman in front of him.

Seeing this, Yu Qingli felt that she was a bit abrupt. This should be considered a business secret. How could Mr. Yu tell her?

With an embarrassed smile, Yu Qingli withdrew her gaze. Although the blood-colored mermaid tears were precious, they were of no use to her.

Looking at Yu Qingli's indifferent expression, Master Yu was a little surprised. "Miss, don't you like this treasure?"

"How could you not like something so good?"

"If you like it, why don't you make an offer, Miss?"

Yu Qingli was surprised at how observant Mr. Yu was, even guessing her thoughts correctly. She couldn't help but smile slightly and said, "Do you have to buy something you like? Sometimes, isn't it better to give it to someone who needs it? Sometimes, admiring something from afar is more blissful than owning it directly."

Master Yu had never heard of Yu Qingli's remarks. He looked at Yu Qingli with inquiring eyes and found that she was calm and composed from beginning to end, without any affectation.

It seems that this woman really doesn't want the mermaid tears. He thought that there was no woman in the world who didn't like this rare jewel. This was a common problem. Even those concubines in the palace who were used to seeing good things would not be able to help but want to take it for themselves when they saw such a rare treasure.

Human desires are endless!

But the one in front of him really seemed to not care about this kind of thing. Young Master Yu raised his eyebrows. Either the things she saw on a daily basis were better than this, or this woman was not vain.

The bidding had already begun downstairs, starting at 500 taels, and people kept raising the price. Soon, the price of this mermaid tear had been bid up to 3,000 taels. Just as the hammer was about to fall down, Lu Jin raised a sign in the Magnolia Hall on the second floor, "I'll offer 5,000 taels!"

Those who could sit on the second floor were far beyond the reach of the vendors downstairs, so naturally no one would continue to bid. So the mermaid's tears fell into the hands of the shopkeeper. Some people downstairs felt sorry, some sighed, and of course some were envious.

Soon, the second treasure was placed on the large treasure appraisal table. As soon as it was opened, someone exclaimed in amazement. The pure white box, emitting bursts of cool fragrance, was the extremely rare Tianshan Snow Lotus! Even more remarkable was that this snow lotus was actually two twin lotuses growing together!

This is a holy object for healing. Even if you are not sick or in pain, using it as medicine can prolong your life!

Everyone's eyes were fixed on this treasure. Although the previous mermaid tears were precious, they were just a plaything after all, while this Tianshan Snow Lotus was a life-saving miracle drug after all!

Almost everyone wanted to get this thing, except Master Yu and Yu Qingli in the elegant hall who were still drinking tea calmly. Master Yu's eyes swept across Yu Qingli's face from time to time, with a hint of temptation and interest.

"The lady doesn't seem interested in this either!"

"I just think it's useless. Why would I be interested in something that's useless to me?"

Yu Qingli asked back as a matter of course, and Master Yu nodded as if it made sense. He really found this woman more and more interesting!

Soon, the Tianshan Snow Lotus was bought by a businessman for eight thousand taels of silver.

With the exhibition of the third treasure, the treasure appraisal conference entered its climax. Everyone was eagerly waiting to know what this third treasure would be.

Soon, an exquisitely crafted jade vessel appeared in front of everyone. Not to mention the treasures inside, this vessel itself was extremely priceless.

The man presiding over the meeting walked forward cautiously and opened the lid. In the vessel lay an ugly toad with a reddish body.

What is this? !

Some people in the crowd did not recognize this thing and thought it was just a toad with a strange appearance. If it were not for the reputation of the Luoyang Chamber of Commerce, they would almost think that they had been cheated.

Yu Qingli stood up at this moment, with a bright light shining in her eyes. Obviously, she was interested in the toad.

Young Master Yu was a little surprised. He got this thing by chance from a merchant from the Western Regions. He heard the man say that it was a treasure. Since they had cooperated for many years, he believed the man. However, after getting it, he still had no idea what it was used for. The merchant had not appeared for a long time, so he was somewhat tempted to get rid of the toad.

But looking at Yu Qingli's expression now, could this really be a treasure?

Master Yu remained calm, "The young lady seems to recognize this item."

Yu Qingli did not hide it and said seriously: "This is a blood toad, an animal that only grows in the Western Regions. It has extremely excellent poison-repelling effects."

What Yu Qingli didn't tell Master Yu was that this thing could cure any strange poison, and its usage was very simple, and this was exactly what she needed.

If she remembered correctly, the current queen would face a life-and-death crisis soon, seemingly because she was poisoned. If she wanted to gain Murong Feng's complete trust, she should naturally seize this opportunity.
