The mansion where the Gu family currently resides was not as grand as the Jun Residence, but it still ranked among the top in Tianjing City.

After years of vacancy, it had been meticulously maintained, and unless closely inspected, one wouldn’t notice that the Gu family had recently moved back.

This estate occupied an extensive area; it would take half an hour to walk from the front gate to the back gate, and even more time to explore each courtyard thoroughly.

While feeling apprehensive, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ emphasized, “There truly is no dowry.”

Ignoring her, Gu Qingluan walked straight inside.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ gazed at Xiao Bai, who was leading the way, her heart filled with both anxiety and hope, praying that the little fox was just wandering aimlessly and didn’t know the location of the dowry.

However, her hopes were destined to be dashed.

Xiao Bai headed directly to w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s living quarters.

Madam w.a.n.g’s face turned pale, and she anxiously said, “Can you trust this little fox’s erratic behavior? This is my residence; even if there were dowry, it wouldn’t be placed here.”

Gu Qingluan stood outside the room, paused, then turned her head with a knowing smile at w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, before confidently stepping inside.

Su Lie led his group of people to follow closely behind.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ stood beside Gu Zhicheng, subtly gesturing to him.

Gu Zhicheng, with an unwell complexion, had no other solution. He had no means to deal with this defiant daughter anymore.

He could only follow and see where Gu Qingluan intended to locate the dowry.

Xiao Bai stopped in front of w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s bedroom and looked back, chirping at Gu Qingluan.

Gu Qingluan’s lips curled into a faint smile as she walked casually toward the door.

Seeing Gu Qingluan walk straight into her own room, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ raised her voice to stop her, “Gu Qingluan, don’t go too far! That’s my sleeping chamber!”

Her response was met with a loud banging sound against the door.

The door was pushed open with a palm strike.

In front of Gu Qingluan, with her aura fully unleashed, no one dared to obstruct her.

Inside the courtyard, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ tightly clenched the handkerchief in her hand, her fingertips digging into her palm.

Even if Gu Qingluan knew that the dowry was here, what could she do?

The concealed chamber was built using unbreakable Sky Star Stone, and its lock was crafted from the crystallized heart of the same material. Not even a pract.i.tioner at the Saint-level could shatter the lock securing this hidden chamber.

She took a deep breath and followed inside.

Xiao Bai entered the room and headed directly for w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s bed, tapping the surface with its paws as if indicating to Gu Qingluan that the dowry was beneath the bed.

“Good job, Xiao Bai. I’ll reward you later when we’re back.” Gu Qingluan chuckled. “You can come back now.”

Xiao Bai’s eyes gleamed.

Were these rewards crafted by the master?

The little fox looked forward to the reward!

With a graceful jump, it landed softly in Gu Qingluan’s embrace.

Balancing the small creature in one hand, Gu Qingluan used her other hand to lift the layers of bedding from the bed, unveiling the polished wooden bed frame underneath.

She tapped the bed frame with her fingers.

It was hollow.

This was the first time she had encountered someone hiding a dowry beneath a bed. If it weren’t for Xiao Bai guiding her, she wouldn’t have found this spot so easily.

Amid w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s tense gaze, Gu Qingluan delivered a palm strike to the bed frame.

With a cracking sound, the wooden board shattered, exposing a pitch-black opening.

A commotion swept through the room.

“Who would have thought there was a hidden pa.s.sage beneath this bed!”

“That little white fox in Miss Gu’s arms is truly incredible. It actually led her here!”

“To hide the dowry in such a concealed place, it must be quite valuable! Now I’m really curious how much dowry Madam Gu prepared for Second Lady Gu.”

“I’m curious as well.”

Unaware of what lay below, Su Lie grew concerned about potential danger and volunteered. “Master, let me go down first and check!”

Gu Qingluan nodded, saying, “Alright, be careful.”

With a swift jump, Su Lie entered the opening..
