Chapter 851 - 829: Fated to Be with You
Manbao had never encountered such aggressive and unfriendly tactics of forced buying and selling since her arrival in Yizhou City, and for a moment, she was completely stunned.
But her shock lasted only a split second; as they were about to forcibly take the item by hand, Manbao swiftly snatched the purse of money from the steward’s hand as he tossed it and said sternly, "You’re right, my Lord, it seems this plant is truly fated to be with you."
Zhou Silang and Zhou Lijun looked at Manbao in stunned disbelief, and even the household guards of the prince’s mansion were taken aback.
The steward also paused, then quickly understood, giving Manbao a meaningful look, "A wise person submits to the times, young lady. You have a promising future ahead of you."
Smiling, Manbao replied, "Not as promising as yours, sir."
The steward snorted, waving his hand dismissively, and a household guard stepped forward to snatch the flowerpot from Zhou Silang’s arms and turned to leave.
With a "snap," the side gate closed in front of them. Zhou Silang took the purse from Manbao, spilled out a handful of loose silver coins, counted them, and found there were only about sixteen taels in total. He couldn’t help his tears, "Six hundred taels, an item worth six hundred taels sold for just sixteen."
Manbao glanced at her Fourth Uncle, then turned back to look at the side gate of the mansion, her gaze growing colder.
She turned around and said, "Fourth Uncle, let’s go."
Zhou Silang put away the money, stuffing it into his bosom. Although it was only sixteen taels, it was still money, wasn’t it?
Zhou Silang asked anxiously, "Manbao, how much did you actually pay for it? Are we at a loss?"
