By the time Zhang Liangcai returned to Bai Ruozhu with a report, the government office had adjourned for the day.
"Miss, everything has developed as you anticipated," said Zhang Liangcai, somewhat excitedly. "Master Lv summoned several buyers to the government office. It turns out the so-called pearls were all fakes. The wife and child of Yu Xiaorong's manager were flagrantly mistreated. Enraged, Master Lv promptly ordered the closure of Yu Xiaorong's business, and publically subjected Madam Li to twenty large wooden boards. Li, who arrived too late to intervene, lost all face." He finished, his eyes glittering with excitement.
These past few days, both Zhang Liangcai and Cui Fan have come to believe that they had been right in choosing to serve Bai Ruozhu. Although they had opportunities in Meng Residence, they felt that their futures would be even brighter under Bai Ruozhu's guidance.
