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

Su Rou was startled and said, "How could I possibly try to please Prince Yu?!"

Her emotional reaction was a bit intense.

Yuan Wen calmly gave a suspicious smile, "You can't really be buying it to break it for fun, right?"

To be honest, Su Rou did want to give it to Gong Yu, but she had no intention of buying it specifically to please him!

Gong Yu needed it, but another old man appeared and snatched it from him, so Su Rou helped Gong Yu get it back. She didn't know whether Gong Yu would remember such a trivial matter, but at least it proved that she and Gong Yu were in the same boat.

Su Rou said, "No...don't talk nonsense."

She didn't dare admit it, Yuan Wen's expression didn't look like he didn't think much of it.

Yuan Wen smiled even brighter, "Really? Don't lie to me. Look at your appearance, you look exactly like the girl I'm secretly in love with."

Su Rou said, "Really not."

Now she had no choice but to make sure Yuan Wen didn't find any flaws.

After I get back, I will find a time to send it back to Gong Yu.

The people from the Topaz Chamber of Commerce delivered the things she took photos of tonight.

When the dagger was first delivered, Yuan Wen took it and paid the money normally.

Now the people from the Topaz Chamber of Commerce said, "My young master said that these things should be given to the young lady as a meeting gift."

Su Rou took a look and saw that it was indeed the ginseng that had been placed on the table. "This ginseng is worth quite a bit of money, so you're just giving it to me for free?"

The other party nodded. "Young Master said that it's great that you can come to the Topaz Chamber of Commerce to sell things. These boxes contain the money you made tonight at our chamber of commerce. If you feel it's inconvenient to take it back, after the auction is over, Young Master will personally arrange for someone to send it back to the General's Mansion."

Su Rou lowered her eyes and glanced at the boxes on the ground. The white and golden notes inside made her very satisfied. She sold them for a lot of money, which was considered a huge fortune.

She had seen a lot of those junk since she was a child, so she didn't find them strange, but some people had never seen these things in the palace on a daily basis.

She thought it was okay that she could sell so much.

Su Rou bent down, picked out the enough and threw them to the servant standing in front of her.

"Here, there's no reason for me not to pay for the things I buy. If you don't accept them, I won't dare come to your place again."

The servant looked embarrassed, "But my young master..."

Su Rou said, "I'm not that close to your young master yet, and I heard that if I can successfully sell something here, you have to give 10% to the Topaz Chamber of Commerce. You didn't take that 10%, so I'll pay you normally, and I won't give you the 10%."

The servant was in a dilemma holding the yellow croakers in his hand, but finally accepted them under Su Rou's threat.

"Thank you so much, young lady, for taking care of the Topaz Chamber of Commerce's business. If you need help from the Topaz Chamber of Commerce in the future, we will do our best to help you."

After they all left, Yuan Wen, who had been sitting in the corner with his back to them, took off his hat.

"The Topaz Merchants Association is trying to win you over, but you're unwilling to accept it, right? Why did you give them the chance just now?"

Yuan Wen was talking about that 10% of income.

Although that 10% is not too much, the Huangyu Chamber of Commerce sold so many things today. If they take 10% from each item, it would add up to more than ten thousand taels.

Su Rou said, "The Topaz Chamber of Commerce still has value that can be utilized."

Yuan Wen didn't understand, so he pulled her arm and said coquettishly, "How is our Jade Shop worse than the Topaz Chamber of Commerce? If you need help, our Jade Shop can do it."

Su Rou touched Yuan Wen's hair and said, "It's different. The main branch of the Huangyu Chamber of Commerce is in the capital. Your family's influence is spread all over the world. You still need to rely on them more to get around in the capital."

Before the auction started today, she ran into Lord Li and Lord Bai outside, which was the best proof that the Topaz Chamber of Commerce could influence the court.

Yuan Wen said, "I gained a lot tonight."

Su Rou and Yuan Wen stayed here for a while, then Su Rou felt a little sleepy and decided to go back first.

The two of them walked side by side to the gate. Su Rou saw that in addition to the person guarding the gate, there were several men in gorgeous clothes standing there.

It seems that their purpose is the same as theirs, they all want to go out.

Su Rou heard one of them humbly approach the servant and say, "Please be kind. It's too late tonight. If my wife finds us here, she will definitely be furious."

The person who was speaking was accompanied by a petite woman.

Su Rou felt that this man was not afraid of being discovered by his wife for coming to this place, but was worried that the mistress he kept by his side would be discovered by the tigress at home...

"According to the rules of the Topaz Chamber of Commerce, once our auction begins, you can't come and go as you please. This is a rule set by my boss. This isn't the first time Mr. Zhang has come back, so how come he doesn't even know about this rule?"

The gatekeeper saw Su Rou and bowed respectfully, "Miss Su, do you want to go out for some fresh air?"

Su Rou yawned, "I'm a little sleepy. I want to go back now. I've sold everything I need to sell."

The servant opened the door and called out to the others, "Open the door, Miss Su wants to go out."

The others who couldn't get out were unhappy, "Why should she be able to go out?!"

They opened the door and a cool breeze blew in from the gap. Yuan Wen held Su Rou's arm. Just as they were about to take a step forward, Yuan Wen was grabbed by the wrist by someone and dragged back.

When Su Rou reached out to grab Yuan Wen, it was too late.

They have all been up all night, and their energy and patience have probably reached their peak.

"If we can't get out, they can't get out either!"

"That's right! The Topaz Chamber of Commerce! They look down on us! Do they look down on us?!"

Yuan Wen was held by them by his limbs and could not move. The hairpin on his head fell off and fell to the ground, leaving his hair disheveled.

This scene frightened Yuan Wen so much that he didn't dare to move.

Whenever Yuan Wen travels, he is always accompanied by people from the Yuan family. How could he have ever encountered such a scene?

Yuan Wen was a real lady from a wealthy family, and not as rough as she was.

Su Rou knew that noble ladies like them had been taught since childhood that they could not have casual skin contact with other men.

The most unacceptable thing is to have your body directly touched by other men's hands.

Su Rou slid a dagger from her sleeve, her eyes sinister, "Let her go, you can still walk out of this door."

"No! Do you know my surname?! If you dare, do it. I guarantee you'll die without a complete corpse."

Just as Su Rou was about to take action, she was stopped by a servant from the Topaz Chamber of Commerce. "Miss Su...don't cause any casualties. If this gets out of hand, it will be difficult for our Topaz Chamber of Commerce to do business."

Su Rou put away the dagger in her hand. "If they dare to bring people back to cause trouble tomorrow, tell them to go to the General's Mansion. It will be considered as me repaying the favor of your young master. But my friend is more noble than me. If a strange man touches her skin, I will not be able to explain to my friend's family if I don't chop off their hands..."
