Chapter 210: Family Heirloom
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The space of the secret room is much larger than imagined, with rows of boxes neatly arranged inside. At a rough glance, there are about one hundred and eighty boxes.
People who gathered around to see the secret room took a sharp breath.
“Good heavens, there are so many!”
“Madam Gu has an imnse affection for her own daughter. With such a generous collection of dowries, anyone who marries Miss Gu Lingxue will undoubtedly be overjoyed.”
“Heh, Miss Gu Lingxue is already outstanding. She has brought many benefits to the Gu family. Over the years, the Gu family has prospered greatly due to her fa. Even without these dowries, there are plenty of n who would want to marry Miss Gu Lingxue!”
“However, no matter the perspective, the stepmother seizing the dowry intended for the rightful daughter is quite unseemly. It’s unclear if Miss Gu Lingxue is aware of this situation.”
Wang Shi slightly regained her composure. Hearing the discussions, she imdiately defended Gu Lingxue, “My daughter went to Qiankun Academy five years ago. At that ti, she was young and naive. How could she have known about these things? The dowry was prepared by , her mother, out of deep love for her. Xue’er knows nothing about it!”
So believed her, while others didn’t.
Gu Qingluan, however, didn’t believe it.
Five years ago, Gu Lingxue had already displayed such cunning and ruthless thods. How could she be the “naive” girl described by Wang Shi?
She curled her lips and chuckled mockingly. Walking past several boxes, she suddenly stopped and raised her hand.
A white light flashed, landing on the copper lock of a box.
With a crisp sound, the lock fell to the ground.
The lid of the box popped open, revealing a dazzling treasure.
The radiant light instantly drew the attention of everyone present.
“Hey, isn’t that the Jun family’s heirloom, the Moonlight Jade Dew Vase?”
The treasure inside the box was a seven-inch tall Moonlight-colored vase, crystal-clear and lustrous. The body of the vase was smooth and sleek, resembling the elegant neck of a woman.
The vase was narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and its design alone wasn’t particularly remarkable.
However, the divine light radiating from the vase was incredibly rare.
Especially within the dimly lit secret room, everyone’s gaze was irresistibly drawn to it.
Gu Qingluan’s eyes lit up. “Is this the Moonlight Jade Dew Vase?”
The Jun family possessed nurous heirlooms, of which Gu Qingluan had only heard about. However, she was familiar with their nas but had never laid eyes on them.
Among those treasures, the Moonlight Jade Dew Vase was the one she coveted the most.
The Moonlight Jade Dew Vase was a holy spiritual artifact. It didn’t possess any attack or defense capabilities, making it sowhat lackluster to most people.
However, in Gu Qingluan’s eyes, it was more alluring than other treasures.
Although the Moonlight Jade Dew Vase seed modest in size, it had the capacity to hold nurous mixtures. Furthermore, by pouring water into it and allowing it to steep for a day, the resulting liquid would transform into fine wine. If high-quality wine was poured in initially, the outco would be exquisite nectar.
The na of the Moonlight Jade Dew Vase ca from this effect.
For those who loved alcohol, there was no better treasure than the Moonlight Jade Dew Vase.
This trip had been worth it!
Gu Qingluan revealed a pleased smile.
“Back when the Jun family married off their daughter, they used the Moonlight Jade Dew Vase to entertain guests. 1 had the chance to taste it. Wine brewed by the Moonlight Jade Dew Vase is truly excellent. 1 didn’t expect this treasure to end up in Madam Gu’s prepared dowry!”
“What’s so surprising? After the Jun family’s lineage died out, the Gu family imdiately took over. They seized all of the Jun family’s imnse wealth, and of course, all the treasures were taken by them too.”
“That makes sense. But if that’s the case, isn’t the Gu family even more shaless? They have more than enough of the Jun family’s wealth. Isn’t it just shaless to snatch away the ager dowry of the only bloodline left? Ugh! 1 can’t take it anymore. This is truly sickening!”
The expressions of the onlookers, who had co to witness the commotion, beca notably intricate as they glanced at the Gu family.
They were already aware of the Gu family’s shalessness, thinking it had reached its utmost extent. Little did they anticipate that there was a further depth to their audacity. Truly unmatched!
Feeling the disdainful glances from behind, Gu Zhicheng’s facial muscles twitched with frustration and he shot an annoyed glance at Wang Shi.
This foolish woman, placing the treasures of the Jun family here, isn’t she clearly handing leverage to others?
Wang Shi felt wronged.
How could she have known that Gu Qingluan would be so extraordinary? Even the lock made from Sky Star Stone could be easily destroyed by her.
Besides, wasn’t she doing it for their daughter’s sake?
With his daughter’s dowry being substantial, even he, as a father, has his reputation to uphold, doesn’t he?
Gu Qingluan took the Moonlight Jade Dew Vase and left the rest behind. She gave Su Lie a sidelong glance. “What are you staring blankly at? Start moving these out!”
Su Lie and the others snapped out of their daze and rushed excitedly toward the dowries. “Co on, everyone, let’s hurry and move them out. We should let our mistress rest as soon as possible!”
Heh heh, all these treasures were now theirs!
