Chu Hanming quickly grabbed Grand Steward Wang's sleeve. "Grand Steward Wang, wait a moment. Can't we discuss this?"

"I am discussing this with Lord Chu. After all, I'm not asking for the talisman without offering payment."

Chu Hanming, feeling distressed, couldn't help but curse Nanli. She usually loves money; why won't she sell even one True Word Talisman now?

Grand Steward Wang, seeing Chu Hanming's indecision, became impatient. "What are you afraid of, Lord Chu? It's just a missing vase. The grand steward, out of respect for the Ninth Princess, will probably just scold you a bit."
