An Dongyang went into his room and immediately locked the door. Then, he pulled open Xu Wenwan's drawer.
Inside the drawer was a small jewelry box, carved and decorated with colored glaze, which had several small drawers of its own. He opened the first one. Lying inside was the solid green bracelet that Xu Wenwan wore.
He immediately took out the bracelet and wrapped it thickly in a cloth to keep it from breaking.
Then, he pulled open the remaining drawers. Inside were a pair of gold earrings and a golden ring.
An Dongyang didn't hesitate; he took them all.
'I'll just take these things for now. When I have money later, I can just pay Xu Wenwan back. Besides, this stuff belonged to the An Family to begin with.'
'But just these few items won't be enough!'
An Dongyang then thought of his mother's jewelry.
His mother had even more jewelry than Xu Wenwan, including several sets she rarely wore. He knew exactly where she kept them.
