Chapter 459: Encountering an Expert
Old Man Tu closed his eyes for a moment, then opened them again, devoid of any emotion.
He said indifferently to the young man, “Pour a cup of tea for our guest.”
Mengyu waved her hand, “No need. Where is the item you mentioned?”
Old Man Tu sighed, went inside the house, and soon came out with two large boxes in hand. He brought them to Mengyu and opened them: “Everything is here.”
Mengyu’s eyes lit up; indeed, everything in the boxes was antique, and there were quite a few pieces of jade among them.
Xiao Tao in the space also saw them and exclaimed with surprise: “Master, these antiques are not bad, all together they are worth about one hundred and ten thousand Essence Value.”
Mengyu was a bit disappointed: only one hundred and ten thousand Essence Value for such two large boxes of antiques?
But thinking back to the first antique vase she acquired for just two hundred Essence Value, she felt that it was actually quite good for these antiques to be worth one hundred thousand Essence Value.
However, how much would the other party want to sell them for? Did she have enough money?
Mengyu’s entire capital was about six hundred thousand yuan, and here in these two large boxes, there were at least three hundred pieces of antique, selling each for five thousand yuan would total over one hundred and fifty million yuan.
If all else fails, she could just offer to cure their sickness.
She looked at Old Man Tu: “I’ll take all your goods, name your price.”
Old Man Tu looked at Mengyu with a hint of disbelief in his eyes: he already mentioned that if one received his three Thief Bows, they could make any request of him.
This girl, who wanted the Ming Dynasty Items, could have simply made a request to take all the items away.
But she actually asked him to set a price?
Does she have some other request?
Could it be that she set her eyes on some ancient tomb and wants him to take action?
No, he already washed his hands of this business and can’t go back to that life.
“I’ve already washed my hands of this life,” he said, glancing at his eldest son’s room.
Mengyu was baffled; what did her wanting to buy his goods have to do with his retirement?
Seeing him look towards a room with continuous coughs, could it be that he wanted her to treat his son’s illness?
She thought for a moment and said, “I’ll offer you twenty thousand yuan, but I want all your Ming Dynasty Items.
Additionally, I can cure your son, but your family must swear never to raid tombs again. Otherwise, die within one!”
Old Man Tu’s eyes blazed again: “Really—are you sure?”
He wanted to ask if she could really cure him, but he immediately knew he shouldn’t doubt her, since she could deduce from the cough that only three months were left.
And she knew that there was a curse!
Moreover, she was still confident to offer her help even after knowing his eldest son was cursed with only three months left—that meant she definitely had the cure.
He had met an expert!
Mengyu knew that he still harbored some doubts, so she nodded and said, “I’m certain. I can cure your eldest son’s disease. Everything you heard before is true.”
Hearing Mengyu’s confirmation, Old Man Tu was overjoyed, “Alright, I agree, I’ll give you all the Ming Dynasty Items.”
As he spoke, he ran into the house and brought out two more large boxes: “All our Ming Dynasty Items are here, I’ll give them all to you!”
Mengyu glanced over; these Ming Dynasty Items were all fine pieces, clearly the best of what the family had retained over the years, probably to be sold at a later date.
But now, for the life of his eldest son, he brought them all out.
Mengyu was somewhat stunned, suddenly remembering the compensation she received for saving the He Family brothers in the Capital City. Did she ask for too little?
She didn’t say anything further, nor did she take the Ming Dynasty Items right away. Instead, she asked Old Man Tu to bring his whole family outside into the courtyard.
