"Oh my...hehehe...it seems Uncle III has muddled up the time, as you know, as one gets older, memory tends to fade."
"Just this earring won't do, I'm missing a hairpin!"
Dong Xiaoyan wasn't about to let this go easily, she seized the opportunity to extort as much as she could.
"I have one!"
Dong Tiesong sifted painfully through his rings.
"That Jade Phoenix Hairpin!"
"No problem!"
"And I'm missing a bracelet!"
"I have one!"
"Also a hair ornament!"
"I have one!"
"And a chain bracelet! I need one that's both beautiful and capable of attack and protection... like the Snow Dragon Bracelet for instance."
"... What?"
"Do you have it or not?"
"...I do!"
"I'm also missing..."
During Dong Xiaoyan's tirade, she virtually rounded up a full set of top-notch jewelry from head to toe, shattering Dong Tiesong's heart.
All these pieces of jewelry were prepared as birthday gifts for the Palace Mistress, Dong Xiaoyan's mother. Yet now, not a single piece was left.
