Chapter 114: Big Butt_1
However, although Zhao Feihu was anxious, he dared not make a fuss; he could only search clandestinely. Yet there wasn’t a single clue at the scene, leaving him at a loss for where to start. In the end, all he could do was pray that the thief didn’t recognize the value, wouldn’t be able to open the box, and would just discard it. As long as the item didn’t surface, he would be fine.
With the matter of the stolen item set aside, what he had to confront next was the problem of money.
Although he was the manager of the Baihua Building and had opportunities to skim off the top, he wasn’t always entitled to take money willy-nilly. After all, the silver was all accounted for, and moreover, he had already taken his fair share of benefits. Therefore, the only option he had left was to borrow money.
To him, he could borrow silver from anyone in the building.
He took out ten taels of silver from Yaoyao, then prepared a gift worth one tael of silver, and the rest was to be used to pay and reclaim the person.
Before he could leave, though, Guo Big Mouth arrived, saying there had been a mishap at the Yang Family. However, the matchmaking would proceed as usual, and soon Feng Caie would bring people straight over for the meeting.
"That’s perfect," Zhao Feihu said, taking a small porcelain bottle from his bosom and toying with it. "Once they’re here, they won’t have to leave." The Flower Building was never short of substances to enliven the mood. Just a drop in the tea, and even the most virtuous maiden would have no choice but to submit.
As for Feng Caie, she led Yang Ruxin on foot for about half an hour before they finally arrived at the Zhao Family courtyard.
"The Yang Family’s second aunt has arrived." As the matchmaker, Guo Big Mouth naturally had to be present. She was the one to open the door, and upon seeing Feng Caie, her face lit up with a broad smile, "And Lady Dani, too. Quickly, come sit inside."
