The shopkeeper approached with a fawning smile and said, "Although this vase is made of copper, it is gilded with gold, and these genuine rubies are inlaid on it. Look here, it's been knocked askew. How am I supposed to sell it now?"
Bai Ruozhu looked over and indeed, a small leg inlaid with gemstones was skewed, looking as if it had indeed been angled from the fall.
"I'm really sorry, just tell me how much," Bai Ruozhu said helplessly, glancing at her son.
"This vase was originally going to be sold for a thousand taels of silver, but since you didn't do it on purpose, I'll give you a 30% discount," the shopkeeper said, his face so wrinkled it was as though it was all squished together with a smile.
Muyu glared over, "A thousand taels? Why don't you just go rob someone!"
