Miss Tao almost jumped.0

"Reputation is very important to girls, and Xiao Wu's is impeccable! I won't allow you to slander her!" Lady Northern Feng stared at Miss Tao. "Show me proof or shut up! If I hear you say something like that again, there will be consequences!"

The Tao family was about as prestigious as Northern Feng Mansion. However, Lady Northern Feng had been brought up by the empress dowager and was naturally more respected.

Miss Tao was almost in tears. She stood there and didn't know what to do.

Her mother patted her and was about to rise to her feet, when the old lady cried out, "Where's my Dragon Phoenix Bracelet? I put it here just then!"

Immediately, everyone looked at her.

Mrs. Gu quickly walked up to her and tried to calm her down. "Mother, don't worry. I'm sure we can find it."

"Dragon Phoenix Bracelet? Is it the one we were appreciating just then?" asked Mrs. Zuo. "It's a good bracelet, but…"

Old Mrs. Gu snapped, "It's not precious because it looks nice! That bracelet is a family heirloom!"

A family heirloom? How? Wasn't it just a bracelet?

Everyone looked confused.

The old lady had always been level-headed, but her hands were shaking now.

Mrs. Zuo and the other ladies looked at one another and wondered if the bracelet was really as important as the old lady said.

Old Mrs. Gu grabbed her daughter-in-law's hand, so hard that her nails dug into her flesh.

"Look for it! Now!"

Seeing how worried the old lady was, the others were even more concerned.

The Long family of Dragon Valley was associated with the Gu family by marriage, and it was also where Mrs. Gu came from. Old Mrs. Long was also here to celebrate old Mrs. Gu's birthday.

The two old ladies were friends, so old Mrs. Long asked, "Please tell us more. That Dragon Phoenix Bracelet looks just like any other bracelet."

Old Mrs. Gu looked like she was about to cry. "It may look like an ordinary bracelet, but there's a secret hidden inside."

Old Mrs. Long asked, "Is it a space…"

Old Mrs. Gu smiled wryly. "That's right. It's supposed to contain a storage space, but we haven't been able to open it so far. It's handed down in the family until one of us can open it.

"It contains a secret skill of the Gu family! We can't afford to lose it to an outsider!" Old Mrs. Gu's face was covered with sweat. "Find it now!"

The others didn't think much of it at first, but then, old Mrs. Gu told them about the storage space and the secret skill.

Everyone grew excited.

"We need to search for it!" said Mrs. Zuo.

Old Mrs. Long nodded as well. "That's right. It's too precious!"

Mrs. Zuo asked old Mrs. Gu, "You had it on your wrist, didn't you?"
