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

Su Rou said, "That's not necessary! As long as it works, don't buy it."

But after Yuan Wen, no one raised the price. Yuan Wen shrugged and said, "It's not that I have to buy it."

The rules of the auction are that the highest bidder wins, and once you make a bid, you cannot go back on your word.

A voice came from below again, "Congratulations to the guest from the Tianzi Room for successfully bidding on this dagger."

"The next lot is a rare herbal remedy. It's two ten-year-old Fritillaria cirrhosae. This herb can cure coughs. It's not something you'd expect from an ordinary doctor. It grows in a remote area, and the age of its growth is enough to distinguish it from other common items. The owner wants to sell it for the price of a small yellow croaker."

As soon as the person below finished speaking, Su Rou heard a familiar voice.

"Five small yellow croakers."

Su Rou looked around and finally met Gong Yu's eyes.

Today's auction didn't require concealing her identity like at the Yuan Family Restaurant, so she quickly recognized Gong Yu among the crowd.

Obviously Gong Yu also saw her, and the two of them looked at each other, with the distance between them not too far.

Su Rou said, "Why are you here?"

Gong Yu said, "Buying things."

Gong Yu's people showed up at Yuan's Restaurant just for the little glowing pill, and today they also spent a high price to buy Fritillaria cirrhosa.

Is there anyone around Gong Yu who is seriously ill? That's why Gong Yu has been searching for precious medicinal herbs over and over again.

Su Rou didn't know why, but she actually felt that Gong Yu was a little cute, like a bear cub storing food for the winter.

Su Rou asked, "Why did you buy Fritillaria cirrhosa?"

Gong Yu said, "I've always been in poor health, so I need to buy this to make soup, cough... cough cough!"

After saying that, Gong Yu did not forget to cough twice pretending to be weak.

Su Rou: “…”

He was just trying to fool the people in the palace. He had been with her for such a long time without coughing, so now he was pretending?!

Su Rou said, "If you don't tell me the truth, I'll raise the price."

Gong Yu said, "To be honest, my cough has not been cured, so I want to try these folk remedies."

Su Rou stopped arguing with him, but their conversation was overheard by the people below.

Yuan Wen lowered his voice to remind Su Rou, "The Huang family has noticed you and Prince Yu, Ah Rou, come back."

Su Rou set her sights on the waiter at the bottom. She saw the waiter come down from the stage and walk all the way to a room on the second floor. From this angle, she could see the situation inside the room clearly.

A handsome young man in white was leaning against a throne, with a string of emerald glass beads on his wrist.

This man gave her a sense of purity that was not contaminated by the world. Even the noble young men from wealthy families sitting in the rooms upstairs could not be compared with him.

The young man raised his eyes and met Su Rou's gaze.

She blinked and stared at him calmly.

Su Rou lowered her voice and asked Yuan Wen behind her, "Who is that young man in white? He looks like he really wants someone to beat him up."

Yuan Wen followed Su Rou's line of sight and glanced down through the gap, then grabbed Su Rou's dress to signal her to stop looking.

"Look away! He's the young master of the Topaz Chamber of Commerce. He's been deaf since childhood, but he can tell what someone is saying by the shape of their mouth."

Su Rou covered her mouth instantly. She had just said she wanted to hit him.

Su Rou quickly returned to the room and didn't dare to stand in front of the fence anymore.

Su Rou said, "Why does this young master look so untouched by worldly matters?!"

Yuan Wen said, "The owner of the Huangyu Chamber of Commerce is his father. He has been weak since childhood, so he doesn't often show up. Isn't your father General Su? You grew up in the capital, how come you don't know about this..."

Su Rou said, "Those noble ladies in the capital all treat me as an outsider. I've had no friends since I was a child."

Yuan Wen paused, then asked, "But you are at least the daughter of General Su, so someone should take the initiative to get close to you."

Su Rou's eyes suddenly became lonely. Naturally, some of the children of ministers in the court were willing to approach her, but none of them were sincere.

Children's jealousy is purer.

At that time, she was just wearing a new beautiful dress, but some children from powerful families threw stones at her. She fought with them and returned home in a mess. Her father carried her in his arms and went from house to house to throw stones back at them.

She has the support of the General's Mansion and sincerely wants to make friends with them.

But it was precisely because she had the support of the General's Mansion that she dared to beat up so many of them so unscrupulously after they hit her with stones.

After that, she didn't want to make friends with anyone, and her father didn't say anything.

Su Rou said, "I didn't know it when I was little, but now they don't even have the courage to stay in the same room with me."

Yuan Wen hugged her and said, "I haven't had much contact with the outside world. Everything I know is told to me by my family. I said the wrong thing just now. It's my fault."

Su Rou said, "You are well protected by your family, and I will protect you too."

"Knock knock" someone knocked on the door of their room.

"Miss Su, my young master wants to see you."

Su Rou was stunned. What?! They came all the way to demand an explanation.

Su Rou carefully opened the door of the wing room and saw that there was only one follower outside, and the young man in white happened to be standing behind the follower.

Just the two of them?

The attendant stepped aside and said, "My young master's name is Huang Qi. He hopes to become friends with you, young lady."

Huang Qi said, "Go down, I want to tell Miss Su my name myself."

Su Rou glanced sideways. Yuan Wen was still in the room. If the young master of the Huang family bumped into Yuan Wen, wouldn't it be a big problem...

Su Rou asked, "Why did Mr. Huang ask me to do something?"

Huang Qi said, "We're just making friends, there's no need to be so nervous, girl."

Su Rou smiled and said, "But Mr. Huang knows me, and I just learned Mr. Huang's name, so we should be considered acquaintances."

So, hurry up and go.

Huang Qi said, "Miss, there's no need to be so nervous. It doesn't matter if the girl behind you doesn't have an invitation to the auction. Miss Su's friend is a friend of our Huangyu Chamber of Commerce."

Su Rou understood that Huang Qi thought her reaction was because she was worried that the fact that Yuan Wen did not have an invitation would be exposed?

Su Rou said, "No, my friend has an invitation, but... she's a little shy! She doesn't like meeting strangers!"

This reason should be enough, right?

Huang Qi took a step back and bowed respectfully, "I'm sorry for being so rude. I hope the young lady in the room will forgive me."

Yuan Wen just said that the Huang family had never met each other, so now is definitely not the time for Yuan Wen and Huang Qi to meet.

Su Rou watched Huang Qi leave, returned to the room, closed the door, leaned against the door panel and breathed a sigh of relief, feeling relieved that he was gone.

Yuan Wen was just about to come over when someone knocked on the door again.

who is it?
