The prince stepped on me to get to the top, I angrily flirted with the enemy's hostage

Su Rou was stunned. But even so? Didn't the emperor still send people over to make things look good?

The eunuch seemed to see the confusion in her eyes and took two steps towards her.

"Captain Su, please keep quiet. The Emperor has ordered that today's events not be publicized. This morning, when General Su spoke of this matter in the court, he was actually opposing the Emperor in every way. General Su was defending you, but he had no regard for the Emperor sitting above him. The Emperor originally intended to teach General Su a lesson verbally, but he didn't expect General Su to be afraid that the Emperor would actually blame you, so he took out a red-lettered iron certificate and threw it in the court. Isn't this opposing the Emperor and a slap in the face of the Emperor?"

"Originally, the Emperor wanted to save face for both himself and General Su. It was just a verbal statement. The Emperor said what he would do, and no one could really watch and check. But General Su's move is just to offend the Emperor. I hope Captain Su will not be offended."

Su Rou was stunned by what she heard, but she only understood one meaning in the end: her father took out another golden medal of immunity from death for such a trivial matter.

Although this thing was a reward from the previous emperor, for the current emperor, his father taking it out again and again is a slap in the face of the emperor.

Su Rou: “…”

hiss……

She remembered that her father had told her last time that his family only had five pieces of silver, and that even if they had so many things, they couldn't be so extravagant.

It would take at least a few years for Gong Yu to lead his troops to attack the Northern Kingdom. They couldn't let Gong Yu's attack cause their family's golden medal of immunity from death to be used up early.

Su Rou said, "Thank you very much, eunuch."

The eunuch still looked at Su Rou, "But I have to tell Captain Su something I shouldn't say. This is also what the emperor wants. Although Captain Su is a woman, she is also the daughter of General Su Wan. As a female general of the court, she must do something practical."

Su Rou knew that this sentence was a reminder from the eunuch.

Su Rou nodded, "Thank you for your advice, eunuch."

After watching such a large group of people leave, Su Rou looked at the things in the yard and fell into deep thought. The general's mansion was not without these junk things. With the emperor's gift, the national treasury must have become much cleaner and tidier.

Su Rou said, "Someone come and count these things."

The maid stepped forward quickly and asked, "Miss, should all these things be put into the warehouse, or should they be sent to your yard?"

Su Rou said, "Take it out and sell it, and give it all to me as silver."

The maid was stunned, "Huh?"

Su Rou repeated again, "Sell them all, sell them all, nothing left."

The maid nodded.

"Don't just take it out to the street to sell it. Rourou, are you short of money?" Yuan Wen's voice suddenly came from outside the door.

Su Rou looked over and asked, "Why are you here?"

Yuan Wen walked up and took Su Rou's arm. "I came to see you. I heard from your family that you asked Prince Yu to meet you in your room at night, but General Su kicked you out early in the morning. I wanted to ask you if it was true."

Su Rou: “…”

Yuan Wen didn't live in her house, so who in her house told him that?!

Su Rou raised her hand and knocked Yuan Wen on the head, "You believed the rumors!"

Yuan Wen covered his head and said, "I didn't. Isn't that just curiosity?"

Su Rou and Yuan Wen's conversation went around in circles and came back to the previous question.

Su Rou asked again, "What did you mean by not telling me not to sell it on the street?"

Yuan Wen said, "There's a huge pawnshop under the name of Yufang. If you're short of money, just give me the things. I'll have my people keep them for now and transfer the money to you. When you want to take them back tomorrow, I'll have someone bring them to you."

Yuan Wen paused after he finished speaking, then continued, "Because if you are short of a lot of money, I will probably have to temporarily withhold the things. I can give you things under eight thousand taels directly without charge."

Su Rou fell silent again. "It's not that I'm short of money, I just think this thing is useless, so I might as well sell it."

What's more, selling the emperor's things to Yuan Wen was equivalent to cheating Yuan Wen.

Yuan Wen said, "Is that so..."

Yuan Wen looked at the things on the ground and fell into deep thought. Su Rou felt that Yuan Wen must be wondering what use these things would be if he took them back.

Yuan Wen said, "These are all top-quality items from the palace. Are they rewards from the emperor?"

Su Rou admitted, "Yes."

Yuan Wen said, "There's a rumor that the Huang family's caravans in the capital travel between various countries to hold auctions. They're having an auction in the capital right now. Would you like to try it?"

Su Rou squatted down and said, "Auction? Tell me about it in detail."

Yuan Wen said, "You've heard of the Topaz Merchants, right? Besides our Jade Shop, their topaz is the most famous in the world. My family is in business, trading everywhere, and we follow the old-fashioned merchant style. The Topaz Merchants are from the North Country, and the Huang family in the capital is their main family. They only hold auctions to sell items, and at auctions, the highest bidder wins. These items are all made with the distinct craftsmanship of the palace, so someone might be able to offer a high price for them."

Su Rou pondered for a moment, "That's fine too. When does the auction start? I'll have someone move the things over."

Yuan Wen said, "You want to go? I'll go with you. The Huang family's auction has requirements. An invitation is required."

Su Rou asked again, "Can you get the invitation? Ask my accountant for the money."

Yuan Wen said, "At the moment, I can only buy it from others at a high price. Although Yufang and Huang Yu are both merchants, they would definitely not welcome us if we went. That's why the Huang family didn't even include us when they sent out the invitations."

Su Rou nodded, "I understand."

After all, we are all in the same industry.

Su Rou stood up and looked down at Yuan Wen. "Thank you for telling me about this place. But if you want to go, I'll take you in. Why spend that money? I have a way so you don't have to."

Yuan Wen said, "Huh?"

Su Rou smiled confidently at Yuan Wen, "Don't worry."

Until the day the auction started, Yuan Wen stood outside the auction in a beautiful dress.

Looking at the people who came in with invitations one after another, Yuan Wen tugged at Su Rou's sleeve and said, "Let's go in too."

Su Rou said, "Okay, but before that..."

Su Rou threw the dagger in her sleeve against the wall, and the dagger stuck straight in front of a figure. The black figure shuddered with fear when he saw the dagger.

Su Rou bent down and approached the black shadow. "Master Li, what a coincidence! Are you here to attend the auction of topaz?"

Yuan Wen hid behind Su Rou with a look of horror on his face. "If you hadn't reacted quickly just now, I wouldn't have noticed that a living person actually walked past us."

This "black shadow" took advantage of the dim environment on the street, wore a black cloak, and walked along the corner, making it difficult to be discovered.

And the reason why Lord Li was so shameful and sneaky was because of her...

Lord Li was so frightened by Su Rou's sudden appearance that he let go of the cloak he was holding onto while tiptoeing around his face. "Ahhhh!! You can't see me... You can't see me!"

Su Rou felt a burst of noise in her ears. This Lord Li was a civil official in the court.

The civil officials have always been good at talking but not doing anything. In addition, she killed the Jinzi Guanglu Doctor in the Yuan Family Restaurant a while ago. Now, the civil officials in the court want to run away when they see her.

Su Rou blocked Lord Li's mouth and said, "If you keep yelling, I'll take action."

Lord Li held his breath, his eyes turned red, and it took him a long time to calm down.

Su Rou took out today's invitation from Lord Li and sat on a wooden stake by the roadside with her legs crossed. "There are two of us, but we're still short of one. It's so late, and there's no one on the street. Lord Li is such a kind-hearted person, so shouldn't you help us two weak and helpless girls and find a way to get another one?"

Lord Li knelt on the ground, looking at Su Rou with a face full of fear.

He had served as an official in the imperial court for decades, and whenever he saw such a sky at night, he would certainly recite a poem.

The moon is bright and the stars are sparse, so tomorrow will definitely be a sunny day.

But he was robbed on the street by Su Rou tonight!
