Chapter 1605: Here Come the Troublemakers I
The old housekeeper looked on blankly.
‘Is it true?
‘I have never heard about this from General…’
But no matter what, this was a family matter, so he must be careful with what he said. General would be home soon anyway, and he had to deal with him when he returned.
That was why the old housekeeper simply kept his mouth shut and said no more.
Feng Ruqing smiled and stroked her chin. “Not bad, you even know about the obsidian stone. It seems that what you said is true.”
“Xiao Qing?”
Helian Yue looked at Feng Ruqing blankly.
Even the empress and the others turned to her as they did not understand why she had agreed with Feng Lianyi.
Qi Fang’s eyes sank as he put one hand behind his back and looked at Helian Yue fiercely.
“But…” Feng Ruqing smiled. “Your jade necklace… I’ve seen a jade necklace similar to yours…”
Feng Lianyi was stunned. “Feng Ruqing, what do you mean? Have you seen the jade necklace General gave me?”
“Xiao Qing…”
Helian Yue was worried. She tugged at the girl’s sleeve and pursed her lips. “I’m fine. You don’t need to worry. When Grandfather Tian Ya returns, he will prove my innocence for me, so there’s no need for you…”
Feng Ruqing patted Helian Yue’s hand gently and smiled.
She then stepped forward and walked slowly toward Feng Lianyi.
The entire banquet hall went silent.
No one dared to open their mouths, and even their breathing grew shallower.
Only the sound of the young girl’s footsteps could be heard…
Feng Ruqing stopped in front of Feng Lianyi. “As I said, I’ve seen it, and it looks very similar to yours, the only difference is… My jade necklace has a real spirit gathering stone on it!”
The young girl raised her hand, and a jade necklace dangled from her fingertips, falling into everyone’s eyes.
The jade stone carried a faint glow, so dazzling that it dazzled everyone’s eyes…
The old housekeeper stared at the jade stone in the young girl’s hand. His heart beat faster. “Maiden Feng, can I take a look at your jade necklace?”
Feng Ruqing glanced at the old housekeeper and handed it to him.
This was the first time the old housekeeper had touched the jade necklace, and the coldness of the stone made him go stiff. He cautiously stroked the word ‘Feng’ on the jade.
“This is exactly the same as what I’ve seen back then.”
His words were like a heavy rod that struck on everyone’s chests.
Feng Lianyi’s face darkened, and she clenched her fists tightly. Only after a long time did the corners of her mouth curl up into a sneer. “Old Housekeeper, there are too many liars in this world. Take another look, is this my jade necklace?”
“This is indeed carved by General himself. I recognize it. There’s a trace mark in the upper corner of it. I noticed it back then, and General said it was the first time he carved a stone and had accidentally left a mark on it, and I even know exactly where it is.”
But…
The jade stone that Feng Lianyi had just taken out the jade stone and had traces of the mistake being carved into it.
However…
He had only glanced at it just now and did not see it clearly. He thought that no one would be so free to create another jade out of it, so he did not think much about it until Feng Ruqing destroyed that jade…
