Chapter 1606: Here Come the Troublemakers II
“Maiden Feng...” The empress walked toward Feng Ruqing. “Where did you get this jade necklace from?”
Feng Ruqing stroked her nose. “Well, an old man... An old master gave it to me. He traded it with me for a jar of wine. Initially, I thought this necklace was useless, but I didn’t expect to watch a good show today just because of it. So, not bad...”
Fu Chen, who has been silent since the beginning, was stunned.
‘In your eyes, the spirit gathering stone is only a ticket to a good show?
‘Oh, you called him an old man back then, but now... you’ve changed it to an old master?’
Fu Chen pursed his lips. ‘Mother is being obvious...
‘So, the old man who had traded the jade necklace with Mother’s spirit wine was Tian Ya?’
Suddenly, Feng Lianqing laughed a sardonic laugh.
“Feng Ruqing, are you still trying to say that that old man is Tian Ya?”
Feng Ruqing’s face turned cold. “It should be him, but you need to respect the old man, you have to call him an old master.”
The words ‘old man’ were... Too rude.
“Hehe...” Feng Lianyi sneered. “Who in this world doesn’t know that General loves his jade like a treasure? How can he be so kind as to trade his treasure for a jar of wine? That’s ridiculous! I was almost convinced that you didn’t steal my jade necklace, but then you took it out yourself. Now, give it back to me!”
Nan Xian’s face was cold as he glanced at Feng Lianyi.
Just this glance alone could make Feng Lianyi fall to hell, her body trembled.
But she would not give up. Her eyes were filled with pride and stubbornness as she bit her lip, refusing to retreat.
Suddenly...
The piercing cold wind came steeply as if it contained a powerful force. Feng Lianyi could feel as if her skin was being cut all over her body, but she could not see any injuries.
She was trembling with pain.
And in the entire banquet hall, no one else had this feeling except for Feng Lianyi, so they thought Feng Lianyi was shivering from anger.
“Xiao Qing said, respect the old man.”
If it were not for the respect for Tian Ya, he probably would not have let Qing Zhu send the mice out and would certainly have gone to eavesdrop himself.
After all, this was General Manor.
Some etiquettes had to be respected.
“Nan Xian...” Feng Ruqing raised her hand to stop Nan Xian. She looked at Feng Lianyi and smiled, “You said this jade necklace is yours?”
Feng Lianyi looked at Nan Xian somewhat timidly; perhaps the pain from just now was too unbearable, making her a bit scared of Nan Xian.
But things had already come to this point. There was no way to turn back. She bit her lip and said, “That’s right. It was General who gave it to me in the first place.”
“Oh...”
Feng Ruqing pointed at the red rope in the empress’s hand. “But, your necklace has been destroyed.”
“You...” Feng Lianyi’s face changed slightly. She was just about to point at Feng Ruqing, when she saw Nan Xian glancing at her. She withdrew her hand and clenched it. “You must have swapped it, and the one in your hand is mine.”
“Hmm.”
Feng Ruqing smiled faintly as she turned to the empress. “Empress, did you get it?”
The empress’s face darkened, her eyes were cold and stern. “Feng Lianyi, you were the one who just admitted that the jade stone was made of obsidian and not a spirit gathering stone. Now I don’t know which of your words are true and which are false!”
