At this, both Wei Zhi and Ji Xiang sat straight up, and Lord Tang calmly asked, "Besides this, what else did you hear?"
Bapo detailed his account, his own heart filled with doubts. To him, these seemed to be just ordinary words; he did not take them to heart.
The study was separated by two walls from the room he had slipped into; otherwise, he wouldn't have just taken the jewels and jewelry from the dressing case after searching through the cabinets and by the bed and found no gold or silver before leaving.
Although jewelry, gold hairpins, and silver hairpins can be exchanged for money, they are not as convenient as having gold or silver.
