Seeing that Old Madam Wang was about to howl, Chi Tu hurriedly raised his hand and pretended to surrender.

“Old Madam, Old Madam, that was not what I meant!”

Even if the Wang Family really did not give it to him, he would never force them, let alone steal or snatch it.

Compared to this thing, Miss Ah Yu’s safety was more important.

This was the highest order he had ever received.

Old Madam Wang retracted her expression and waved the pendant in front of her eyes. “Alright, what do you mean? Are you going to ask us for it? It’s not impossible. In any case, this thing is just scrap metal. It shouldn’t be worth much. It’s also taking up space.”

Chi Tu hurriedly replied, “Yes, yes, yes. It’s not worth much. It’s just an ordinary thing.”

“Oh, since it’s nothing, tomorrow, I’ll get the blacksmith to melt it and make a chain for our Ah Yu to tie to the dog to play with.”

Chi Tu: “???”

“No, no, no, I was wrong. Old Madam, this thing might be useless to you, but it’s very useful to me, no, to our Little Master. For the sake of your safety, I can’t say what it’s used for. Please don’t force me to do this.”

Hearing him mention his subordinates, Old Madam Wang stopped while she was ahead.

“Alright, since I’m going to sell it anyway, isn’t it the same no matter who I sell it to?” Old Madam Wang said. “Then how much do you plan to pay? Let me make it clear first. If you offer too little or deliberately lower the price, I’ll melt it immediately. I’ll even write a letter to your Little Master and say that you insulted him.”

Chi Tu: “...”

How could such a good old lady behave like a hooligan!

Chi Tu took a deep breath and told himself not to panic.

He could only say, “It should be worth 180 taels. How about this? On account that you once took care of our Little Master, I’ll give you 200 taels for it. What do you think?”

Old Madam Wang had a smile on her face but did not answer.

Chi Tu’s heart skipped a beat, and he took the initiative to raise it a little. “Then, 500 taels?”

“Are you playing with me? Does our family lack these 500 taels?” Old Madam Wang sighed. “Let’s just melt it. After all, it’s a chunk of iron worth only 500 taels. When the time comes, I’ll make an iron plague and hang it on our Wang Family’s door.”

Chi Tu: “A thousand taels.”

“I wonder how Shopkeeper Chen Yuan is doing. I think he said that he can give us 3,000 taels of silver next year...” Old Madam Wang looked at the sky.

Chi Tu gritted his teeth. “2,000 taels, Old Madam. That’s all I have on me.”

He did not bring much money with him.

Old Madam Wang did not speak, and Chi Tu panicked.

This old lady does not play by the rules, and she seemed to know that he would not use violence.

“Old Madam, just tell me how much you want. As long as I can give it to you, I’ll give it to you. To be honest, this thing is not worth much at all. Look, it’s just an iron toy. It’s just that our Little Master’s elders lost it many years ago and I’ve always wanted to find it for him. Now that I’ve finally found it, I want to buy it back and make the elders happy.”

Old Madam Wang glanced at Chi Tu. Her gaze seemed to have a deeper meaning, but it also seemed to be a casual glance.

“Young man, I won’t make things difficult for you. I’m an elderly person too, so I understand how that old man feels about not wanting to trade it even for a thousand gold. I’m happy to sell this to you. There’s no need to talk about anything else. Let’s exchange it for something of equal value.”

“Old Madam knows the big picture!” Chi Tu hurriedly flattered. “Then what’s your price?”

“Didn’t I just tell you? I won’t exchange it for less than a thousand gold.” Old Madam Wang said. “1,000 taels of gold and 10,000 taels of silver.”

Chi Tu gasped heavily.

“Give me the 2,000 taels on you first and write me an IOU of 1,000 gold coins. Gather the money in three months and I’ll give this to you.” Old Madam Wang looked at Chi Tu. “Three months is enough for you to go back and forth to Wanning City. You can look for your Young Master to reimburse you.”

“Forget it, I’ll give this thing to you first. Take it back and report. You won’t go back on your word, right?”

As she spoke, she handed the thing to Chi Tu and turned around, leaving with a spring in her step.

Chi Tu only felt that the small pendant in its palm weighed a thousand catties.
