Helian Yue was stunned. She stared at Feng Lianyi while murmuring to herself, “The necklace you mentioned… I’ve seen it, but Grandfather Tian Ya is stingy and won’t even allow me to touch it. Why would he give it to you?”
Feng Lianyi lowered her eyes.
She knew that the lies she told would be exposed once Tian Ya returned.
But she had no other way…
If she were imprisoned, she would never be able to wait for General Tian Ya to return, so even if the General knew about this, he would forgive her!
“Sister Helian…” Feng Lianyi turned to look at Helian Yue and smiled coldly, “General gave Brother Feng the name and gave the jade to me. Don’t you understand this? Only the two of us are his closest relatives, and even you are not qualified enough to be part of this.”
Helian Yue sneered. “Nonsense! Grandfather Tian Ya is so stingy. He hides that necklace like a treasure. I don’t believe he would give it to you. You don’t have any blood relationship with him. Why would he give you the necklace?”
Feng Lianyi glanced at Helian Yue coldly. “Whether General Tian Ya gave it to me or not… I’m the only person who can confirm it. Besides, you don’t even know the origin of the jade necklace. So do you think you have any right to talk like that in front of me?”
This time, Feng Lianyi did not hide her emotions as before but directly went against Helian Yue.
Helian Yue’s face darkened. But Feng Lianyi was right. She had always caused trouble back then, so Grandfather Tian Ya did not tell her these things…
“What Maiden Lianyi said is all true.”
The old housekeeper walked from outside the banquet hall. He bowed to Qi Fang and the empress, and said respectfully, “Respect to Your Majesty and the empress.”
Qi Fang just nodded, his face expressionless.
“Get up.”
“Thank you, Your Majesty.” The old housekeeper straightened up. “Report to Your Majesty, some time ago, Maiden Lianyi did go to the storehouse to take the Lost Fruit, and what Maiden Lianyi said just now is also true. General once said, he took this jade stone from someone in his hometown called Tian Shen Manor. General Tian Ya had also engraved the word ‘Feng’ on the jade stone.”
‘Tian Shen Manor…’
All Feng Ruqing’s speculation was finally confirmed.
General Tian Ya was indeed her grandfather, Feng Wuhui!
When he had left back then, Gu Shi was not yet the chief of Tian Shen Manor, so the old housekeeper was referring to… Should be the unlucky man who was defeated by Gu Shi in Tian Shen Manor.
“And, this jade stone has other uses, so I won’t be able to say more. I don’t know how Maiden Lianyi knew about this, but what she said is true.”
What the old housekeeper was referring to was about the origin of the jade necklace.
“However…” The old housekeeper paused and frowned. “Maiden Lianyi, you said that General has already given you the jade?”
“Yes…”
“Oh, then I wonder if you could take the jade out and let me take a look at it? So that I can confirm it.”
Feng Lianyi clenched her fists. Her palm was already covered in a cold sweat, but she still maintained the smile on her face. “Alright, I’ll show you the necklace.”
