A servant entered the banquet hall with a box in her hand and slowly walked toward Feng Lianyi.
âMaiden Lianyi...â
She respectfully handed the box to Feng Lianyi.
Feng Lianyi held the box with both hands and carefully opened the lid.
The crowd was stunned, their eyes staring nervously at the box in Feng Lianyiâs hands.
Feng Ruqing touched her nose. âItâs just a necklace, why do I feel... As if what sheâs holding is a Grade-9 spirit herb.â
âXiao Qing... â this time, Helian Yue disagreed with Feng Ruqing. She looked serious. âThis thing is not as valuable as a Grade-9 spirit herb, but... It is grandfather Tian Yaâs treasure, and also a spirit gathering stone.â
âGathering stone?â Feng Ruqing was startled.
âYes, this jade stone is a spirit gathering stone. It can help the person who carries it cultivate rapidly; even the weakest person can cultivate and become powerful. The spirit gathering stone is so precious...â
Feng Ruqing was stunned as she suddenly remembered the jade necklace given to her by the old man in the spiritual beast mountain, which was also made of a gathering of spirit stones.
Since when could the spirit gathering stone be easily found anywhere?
âMy necklace!!!â
Suddenly, a sharp shout broke Feng Ruqingâs thoughts.
She turned and saw that Feng Lianyiâs face had turned pale, and she looked shocked.
âWhoever stole my jade necklace, give it to me immediately!â
Her eyes were filled with anger, and her body was trembling.
When Qi Fang saw that the box brought by Feng Lianyi was empty, he was actually relieved. But after he saw such an annoyed expression on Feng Lianyiâs face, he frowned a little...
âIt seems like sheâs not faking it... Could it be that this jade necklace... Has it been stolen?â
The jade necklace was Tian Yaâs most beloved item, and the preciousness of the gathering stone was not something that could be purchased with money.
Otherwise, Tian Ya would not have regarded this jade necklace as his precious item.
âIâve even seen this jade necklace with my own eyes before attending the dinner today, and Iâm sure itâs still there before dinner!â Feng Lianyi clenched her fists tightly. Her face was filled with anger. âThis jade necklace is not only an expensive item to me; it is an item gifted to me by General. I didnât dare to simply take it out for fear of breaking it, but I didnât expect that it would be stolen now.â
The old housekeeper was a little unhappy hearing Feng Lianyiâs words.
He had not seen the jade necklace before and could not confirm whether it was real or not, but...
Maiden Lianyi was claiming that someone dared to steal from General Manor...
Wasnât it the same as saying that the housekeeper of General Manor was useless? Was it stolen by someone?
âMaiden Lianyi, did you put it somewhere else? Should we look for it again? Iâm sure no one would dare to steal from General Manor...â The old housekeeper said slowly.
Feng Lianyiâs heart sank. Other peopleâs housekeepers would only favor their masters, but this one from General Manor was embarrassing her in front of the crowd.
At a time like this, he should have immediately stepped forward to help her!
âThis old housekeeper is useless!â
Feng Lianyi replied coldly, âOld Housekeeper, I know very well where my things are kept, and Iâm not saying that our General Manor is not well guarded. After all, there are always some people in this world who will take advantage of General Manorâs trust to get what she wants.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
