After a moment, he came out to report, “My Lady, there’s a secret chamber beneath. It’s built with Sky Star Stone, incredibly solid. I can’t manage to open the door of the chamber.”

“Sky Star Stone?”

Exclamations filled the room.

“They actually used Sky Star Stone to build a secret chamber. It seems there are really valuable things hidden inside!”

Gu Qingluan looked at w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, “Madam, do you have anything else to say?”

“Having a secret chamber doesn’t mean it contains dowry.”

“What else is hidden there if it isn’t dowry? Open it up for everyone to see,” someone couldn’t help interjecting.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ glared back at the crowd gathering outside the door.

No one was afraid of her; they all clamored.

This group of onlookers with no fear of trouble!

She remembered all of them; she would definitely deal with them later and make them regret this day!

In this embarra.s.sing situation, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ knew that denying further would be useless. She tried a bit of trickery, “Yes, it’s dowry inside! But that’s the dowry I prepared for my daughter. Why should 1 give it to you?”

“Oh my G.o.d, Madam Gu is so shameless! She manages the financial matters of the Gu family and utilized the former madam’s dowry. What she’s secretly kept for her own daughter is meticulously concealed.”

“No wonder they say stepmothers can be malicious. With such a malicious stepmother, we can imagine what First Lady Gu has gone through in the Gu family!”

Whispers circulated quietly; with so many people, it was hard to pinpoint who exactly was speaking.

These words reached w.a.n.g s.h.i.+’s ears, nearly driving her mad.

At this juncture, she was fearless. She placed her hands on her waist and roared in anger, “All of you are just babbling nonsense! Put yourselves in my shoes, would you be selfless? Wouldn’t you keep things for your own children?” Uh, that statement wasn’t entirely wrong.

“But we didn’t embezzle someone else’s dowry!” a n.o.blewoman pursed her lips. “The esteemed matriarch of the first family… indeed lives up to being the ‘first’, I’ve never witnessed such audacity.”

“That’s right! We didn’t steal anyone’s dowry!”

“It’s fine if you’re preparing dowry for your daughter, but who knows if you’ve taken First Ladt Gu’s dowry to bolster your own daughter’s?”

“Why not just open it up for everyone to see? Are you truly afraid because you’ve taken First Lady Gu’s dowry and can’t confront the truth?”

Faced with everyone’s doubts, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+, overwhelmed by anger and panic, rashly said, “Why should I open it for you to see? If you’re capable, open it yourselves!”

She was utterly shameless!

Sky Star Stone, a meteorite from the heavens, was indestructible. Without a key, how could they possibly unlock it?

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ looked at Gu Qingluan with a smug expression. “Don’t claim 1 never offered you an opportunity. The concealed chamber is right before you. If you have the capability to unlock it and claim what rightfully belongs to you, then proceed.”

She just didn’t believe that Gu Qingluan could really break into her secret chamber!

Gu Qingluan playfully lifted her lips, “If I can take it, then it’s mine?”

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ noticed a shrewd gleam in her eyes that resembled stars, which caused a subtle sense of discomfort to creep in.

After a moment’s thought, Sky Star Stone was indestructible. The walls of the secret chamber were reinforced. Except for a Skyfire Forger, no one could break in. The lock of the chamber door was made from a Sky Star Stone crystallized heart. Even a Skyfire Forger couldn’t destroy it without special means.

She coldly smirked. “Indeed!”

“That’s what you said.” Gu Qingluan leaped down.

In a short while, w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ and the others followed outside the secret chamber.

Due to the limited s.p.a.ce, only a few could enter. The others waited outside for news.

Before the secret chamber’s door, a pair of matte grey doors seamlessly connected with the surrounding walls. The lock on the door was made of an even denser material.

Su Lie shared his observations with her, “My Lady, the material of this lock seems to be a Sky Star Stone crystallized heart. 1 tried with a dagger, but it left no marks. Without a key, it’s probably impossible to open.”

Gu Qingluan walked to the door and touched the lock’s material.

“It really is a Sky Star Stone crystallized heart. No wonder…”

No wonder w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ was so confident.

Indeed, a Sky Star Stone crystallized heart was virtually indestructible.

However, it was only virtually. It didn’t mean it was impossible.

Since someone could forge it, someone could destroy it too.

w.a.n.g s.h.i.+ stood to the side, making sarcastic remarks, “Don’t you have the ability? The items are right there. If you truly have the capability, go ahead and take them! If you can’t, then don’t bring up the dowry again!”

Gu Qingluan looked at her from the corner of her eye.. “Are you sure? If I can take it, it’s all mine?”
