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

Gong Yu's voice came from outside the door, "It's me."

Su Rou opened the door and asked, "What are you doing here?"

Gong Yu frowned, "Just now I saw Huang Qi coming over. Why are you so polite to him, but treat me like this?"

Su Rou asked him to come in and talk.

This room is very big, and there are beautiful calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, but they should not be very expensive. If they are put here openly, it will definitely invite people to steal.

Su Rou said, "Why are you looking for me? There are so many people here, and your Highness Prince Yu is so close to me. Aren't you afraid that someone will gossip about you tomorrow?"

Gong Yu said, "I successfully bought the Fritillaria cirrhosa, but... I have something I want to discuss with you."

Although Gong Yu used words of negotiation, his tone revealed that he wanted her to propose conditions.

There was one thing in today's auction that Gong Yu wanted, but he was afraid that she would overbid it.

Su Rou looked at Yuan Wen beside her. It was true that Gong Yu could not feel at ease with the head of the richest caravan in the world following her.

Su Rou said, "I can only promise that I won't compete with you for the things I like."

Gong Yu didn't tell her what it was, and she certainly couldn't confirm it to Gong Yu.

She could roughly guess what Gong Yu was thinking. If he was unwilling to be honest with her, then there was no point in asking her to make concessions.

Gong Yu said, "You will like it, so I came to discuss it with you. If you refuse to give in, just pretend I have never been here."

The conversation between the two was not very pleasant. After Gong Yu left, Su Rou and Yuan Wen were left in the room.

Yuan Wen said, "His Royal Highness Prince Yu took pictures of all the herbs tonight. He must be hiding something. Why don't you do him a favor so that you two can get along well in the future."

Su Rou crossed her legs and leaned back on the armchair, "I don't need Prince Yu's favor anyway."

But she should know Gong Yu's secret.

Just as Yuan Wen said, all the medicinal herbs went into Gong Yu's bag. There were probably many people from the court here today, but Gong Yu had the identity of that sickly man as a cover. Even if someone went to inform the emperor, Gong Yu could easily fool them.

Su Rou was a little puzzled. Who was sick that made Gong Yu look for medicine everywhere like a madman?

Su Rou didn't come back to her senses until she heard Gong Yu's voice.

Gong Yu bid, "One hundred small yellow croakers."

There was an uproar in the venue. Su Rou heard someone say that it was crazy to raise the price to one hundred small yellow croakers just for such a broken thing.

Su Rou looked down and saw a huge ginseng placed in a pearwood brocade box. The box alone was worth a lot of money.

Gong Yu, are you interested in this thing?

"One hundred and one small yellow croakers."

Su Rou said, "Yuan Wen, you are very knowledgeable. What's so different about this ginseng?"

Yuan Wen said, "I heard someone say that this ginseng is older than the two Fritillaria cirrhosae, and should be three hundred years old. Its medicinal properties are relatively strong. If a dying person eats it, it will have the power to bring back the dead."

Su Rou asked, "Who was the person who bet on Prince Yu's price just now?"

Yuan Wen said, "I don't know."

Gong Yu continued to raise the price. Su Rou looked around and finally set her sights on an old man with white hair.

The old man, sitting in a wheelchair, said calmly, "One hundred and fifty small yellow croakers."

Su Rou said, "This old guy is arguing with Prince Yu."

Yuan Wen said, "Do you want that ginseng? I'll buy it for you."

Su Rou made a silent gesture and followed the old man in raising the price, "Two hundred small yellow croakers."

There was an uproar in the venue again.

Not to mention two hundred small yellow croakers, even a hundred of them would be enough to buy two streets in Beijing!

The old man noticed Su Rou and said, "Isn't this the daughter of the Su Wan family? Why are you competing with an old man like me at such a young age? You don't need the ginseng anyway."

Su Rou smiled brightly, "Who are you? I'm young and don't need it, so can't I just buy it and break it apart to play with it?"

The old man said, "I've heard that Su Wan's daughter is very sharp-tongued. Seeing her today, I believe she is indeed the case. This is a game between Prince Yu and me. I hope you, little girl, won't get involved."

What a joke! She even dares to attack the Jiang family, which has produced a queen. Who does this old man think he is?

She really had to help Gong Yu get the limelight today.

Su Rou suddenly said, "I don't think it's fun for you two to add small yellow croakers one by one. Why don't I play with you? Prince Yu is just a weak prince. The mansion was given by the emperor. Why do you have to pick on him? It's not right for an old man like you to bully a sickly person. What's more, the rule of the Topaz Chamber of Commerce is that the highest bidder wins. Are you, old man, trying to be a rogue?"

The old man's beard twitched, and he added, "Su Rou, I'm speaking to you in a gentle tone, advising you to stop while you're ahead and not continue to publicize it."

Su Rou said, "Guess what happened to the last person who threatened me? Only one of the elders in the clan is dead. Also, if you don't raise the price, the ginseng will be mine."

The old man was startled and said quickly, "Two...two hundred and ten!"

With Su Rou joining in, the old man became obviously panicked.

She estimated that Gong Yu had spent almost all of his money tonight.

Su Rou looked at Gong Yu who was standing beside her. He was staring at her with invisible eyes.

What are you looking at? I'm helping you, asshole.

Su Rou said, "Old man, you don't have any extra money, so you dare to add ten by ten."

The old man said, "We've bought quite a few things today, but your wing seems quite empty. You didn't come here just to join in the fun without buying anything, did you?"

Su Rou saw the colorful glass ornaments placed beside the old man and said, "No, this is something I wanted to sell, but it was bought by some wicked old man. I'm very rich."

The old man immediately realized that she was talking about him and looked at the object in his hand.

"You! What are you up to?!"

Su Rou spread out her hands and said, "Don't worry, I'll raise the price."

Su Rou looked towards the table below and asked, "Can I cancel the price I quoted before?"

The people in the audience were stunned for a moment and looked at Huang Qi in the side room.

The elegant young man leaning against the armrest nodded.

"According to the rules, this is not allowed, but since our young master has agreed, the Topaz Chamber of Commerce is naturally willing to do Miss Su a favor."

Su Rou said, "The old man just offered 210, right? I'm raising the price to 300 large yellow croakers."

She raised her eyes and looked at the old man charmingly, "Keep adding."

The old man choked and looked very ugly.

She didn't turn her head until the people below announced that the large ginseng belonged to Su Rou.

Three hundred large yellow croakers were not a lot, and even if she paid for Gong Yu, it was only a fraction of her earnings tonight.

Yuan Wen said, "That ginseng is so big, it's definitely worth the price. Rourou took great pains to buy it, is she trying to please Prince Yu with it..."
