41 A Rival Show With The Fourth Prince (1/2)

It was now a couple of times already that he added an ounce of silver on top of Rong Chu’s bid which triggered the anger of others in the auction.

Rong Chu seriously hated him as his disruption had always caused Rong Chu to pay more than necessary for each of the herbs that had bought. There was one time where Rong Chu needed to pay more than 100,000 to buy herbs which would normally only cost about 40,000 ounces of silver.

Therefore, what the childe did made him the gazing stock of the crowd.

When Gu Xijiu saw that the prices of the herbs had skyrocketed, she no longer hoped to purchase the herb that she had wanted. She was just leaning against the window as a bystander and focused on identifying the childe.

He seemed to be a shy person because he was blushing slightly when others stared at him. His pair of drooping eyes with long eyelashes made him look even more delicate than a lady who had not stepped out of the house before.

Gu Xijiu did not know who this person was but she knew based on the expressions of others that they had no clue too.

It was the first time Rong Chu had met such an insensible person, however, the auction rules here did not allow a bidder to suppress others with social status and hence, he could only keep raising the price.

Later, he learned to copy the childe’s move, which was to add only an ounce of silver instead of 10,000 ounces of silver. To his surprise, the childe unbelievably added 10,000 ounces of silver, giving others the impression that the fourth prince was stingy…

It was obviously a showdown between the childe and the fourth prince!

”Who was this childe actually? How could he be so courageous to go against the fourth prince?” The same question flashed through the minds of many of the other bidders.

Gu Xijiu was enjoying the scene that was taking place before her. Anyone who dared to challenge the fourth prince directly must not have been an average person. Thus, there were only three possibilities.

1. This childe was affiliated with the crown prince and is therefore doing it on purpose.
