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.
