A servant entered the banquet hall with a box in her hand and slowly walked toward Feng Lianyi.
“Maiden Lianyi…”
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 Lianyi’s hands.
Feng Ruqing touched her nose. “It’s just a necklace, why do I feel… As if what she’s holding is a Grade-9 spirit herb.”
“Xiao Qing… ” this time, Helian Yue disagreed with Feng Ruqing. She looked serious. “This thing is not as valuable as a Grade-9 spirit herb, but… It is grandfather Tian Ya’s treasure, and also a spirit gathering stone.”
“Gathering stone?” Feng Ruqing was startled.
“Yes, 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…”
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?
“My necklace!!!”
Suddenly, a sharp shout broke Feng Ruqing’s thoughts.
She turned and saw that Feng Lianyi’s face had turned pale, and she looked shocked.
“Whoever stole my jade necklace, give it to me immediately!”
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 Lianyi’s face, he frowned a little…
‘It seems like she’s not faking it… Could it be that this jade necklace… Has it been stolen?’
The jade necklace was Tian Ya’s 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.
“I’ve even seen this jade necklace with my own eyes before attending the dinner today, and I’m sure it’s still there before dinner!” Feng Lianyi clenched her fists tightly. Her face was filled with anger. “This jade necklace is not only an expensive item to me; it is an item gifted to me by General. I didn’t dare to simply take it out for fear of breaking it, but I didn’t expect that it would be stolen now.”
The old housekeeper was a little unhappy hearing Feng Lianyi’s 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…
Wasn’t it the same as saying that the housekeeper of General Manor was useless? Was it stolen by someone?
“Maiden Lianyi, did you put it somewhere else? Should we look for it again? I’m sure no one would dare to steal from General Manor…” The old housekeeper said slowly.
Feng Lianyi’s heart sank. Other people’s 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!
‘This old housekeeper is useless!’
Feng Lianyi replied coldly, “Old Housekeeper, I know very well where my things are kept, and I’m 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 Manor’s trust to get what she wants.”
