Chapter 876: Quite Valuable
When Xuexue had just returned to the General’s Mansion, Lady Tang once told her that the bracelet was very valuable, there was only one in the entire Moli Country. She also said that after Xuexue’s birth mother passed away, she searched the entire General’s Mansion but didn’t find a trace of the bracelet.
Unexpectedly, more than a decade later, she saw Xuexue bring back this precious bracelet. Lady Tang was extremely jealous and had always been scheming, trying to take the treasure for herself. Unfortunately, before she could come up with a plan, Situ Yongjie had already sent her to the manor.
After Situ Qinger learned about the value of the bracelet, she also couldn’t resist the temptation. Such a fine treasure, worn on the wrist of a country girl, was too much of a waste, wasn’t it? These good things should be hers instead.
Now, with the excuse of the autumn outing, she finally had the nerve to come and ask Xuexue to lend it to her.
Of course, with this ’borrowing,’ she planned to never return it. Sadly, Xuexue, who had learned her lesson from a previous life, was not fooled in the slightest.
"Big sister, just lend it to your little sister for one day, it’s only for one day, please?" Situ Qinger, seemingly oblivious to Xuexue’s displeased expression, fixated her gaze on the bracelet on Xuexue’s hand. Her mother had said in person that this bracelet was an unmatched treasure, and she must find a way to get her hands on it.
At this moment, Situ Yu, who was following behind, overheard and glanced at the bracelet on Xuexue’s wrist disdainfully, with a contemptuous tone: "Second sister, I don’t mean to criticize you, but what’s the fuss about some junk a country girl wears?"
She paused, then arrogantly added: "Second sister, whatever you want, just go to my courtyard. I’ll bring out all my jewelry, and you can choose anything at all. Besides, is something that a country girl possesses even worth coveting? Aren’t you worried that people will laugh their teeth off at you?"
