Huo Xing'Er looked at Ji Youcheng and asked softly, "What sort of bad luck have you run into?"
It's not bad luck, she thought. You've just provoked Xiaosuisui's jinxing mouth.
Finally able to get to the point, Ji Youcheng was so emotional, his face looked like he was about to burst into tears.
"Ersao, you have no idea how incredibly unlucky I've been these past two days.
The day before yesterday, my most trusted subordinate was bringing back two boxes of gold for me from the south. Somehow, he lost them at the Yuelai Inn, which is thirty miles outside the city.
That was gold worth over a hundred thousand taels, and the boxes also contained silver notes!
Even now, those boxes haven't been found."
As soon as Ji Youcheng finished speaking, Huo Xing'Er's mouth fell open, and she gasped, "That much?"
"Exactly! This is no small sum!
