Chapter 55: Meeting at 55

"What happened?" The second wholesale dealer and shopkeeper Wang asked, the question posed by the second dealer.

The second dealer had just gone to exchange silver at the bank across the street, and no sooner had he entered the grand hall than he heard shopkeeper Wang talk about the Marquis' daughter losing something in Huichun Hall. He went with shopkeeper Wang to look for it, but unexpectedly saw this scene in the side room.

This side room was specifically prepared as a rest area for Gu Jiao. Although Gu Jiao didn't use it often, people rarely intruded. When the maid said, "She stole my young lady's belongings," they thought it was a little thief who had sneaked in.

But then they found there were only two people in the side room - Marquis' maid and Miss Gu.

So, is Miss Gu the thief the maid was referring to?
