Chapter 006 Valuation

"Wretched daughter, do you dare!"

The phrase "sisterly affection" is laden with sarcasm, while Gu Qiancheng's extravagant embellishment seems to further substantiate this notion

Gu Qianxue was so excited that she could not speak, the handkerchief in her hand twisted into a spiral shape, a plan that had been in the making for many years was finally realized, how joyful it was

Upon hearing this, Duke Gu relaxed completely, but Qin Yunchu was not pleased. Clearly, it was he who did not want Gu Qiancheng, so how had it now turned into Gu Qiancheng not wanting him

This sum of money will be delivered into the hands of the abbot of Chengtian Temple in one month. I believe that with his compassion, this money will surely be utilized to its fullest potential

Father, look... A person in a coma will not bite their lips, nor will they clench their fists tightly and refuse to let go; their body will not be rigid either. The way Mother is in a coma is simply too fake; I can't pretend not to know.

Duke Gu's old face was flushed with embarrassment, never before had he felt so humiliated as he did at this moment. With a wave of his hand, Duke Gu ordered the servants to carry Madam Gu away, so as not to disgrace themselves here.

Qin Yunchu wanted to refute, but Gu Qiancheng did not give him the opportunity to speak, instead shifting the topic: "However... my dowry is not just any ordinary amount; even though I share a deep bond with my sister Qianxue, I cannot possibly contribute such a large sum to the dowry."

However, unbeknownst to her, Gu Qiancheng was already on guard. Before the servant could approach, she swiftly dodged aside, dragging her injured leg to the door, and said with a charming smile: "Father, do not worry, I will finish speaking before I leave"

Since there is nothing wrong, Gu Qiancheng, you should return to your room. Gu Guogong had a bad premonition and quickly signaled the servant to come forward and pull Gu Qiancheng down.

Unfortunately, Gu Qiancheng was completely uncooperative, pointing at the unconscious Madam Gu and saying: "Father, I am not causing trouble, nor am I slandering Mother and my sister. What I say is the truth. Moreover, even if it were causing trouble, it would be Mother who is causing it."

Gu Qianxue hurried to the inner hall with the assistance of her maid. Upon arrival, she heard these words and her expression brightened with joy, signaling to her maid to help her sit down

Today, in the presence of all the esteemed gentlemen and ladies, my daughter will use this 800,000 taels of silver to light a perpetual lamp in memory of her late mother

Duke Gu understood that this was not the time for bargaining. With a quick thought, he agreed without hesitation, saying to the librarian: "Certainly"

The situation is favorable for her, so she does not invite her grandfather and grandmother. Now that Gu Qiancheng's commotion is escalating, the worse the outcome for Gu Qiancheng will be. As long as she can achieve her wishes, Gu Qiancheng's life or death is of no concern to her

The dowry my mother left for me was initially valued at one million taels. I do not ask for much; father, just give me eight hundred thousand taels, and the remaining two hundred thousand taels can be considered as my contribution to Qianxue's dowry.

Swish, swish, swish... Countless gazes shot over, making Madam Gu even more anxious, her body becoming increasingly stiff, instantly validating Gu Qiancheng's claims

"Qian Cheng, what do you want?" Gu Guogong finally understood that this matter could not be resolved easily, and this daughter was no longer as easy to handle as before

Father, the daughter is aware of her disability and fears that she may never marry in this lifetime. The eight hundred thousand taels of silver left in Qiancheng's hands are of no use.

Feigning unconsciousness lacks any technical skill, yet at this moment, she cannot awaken; thus, Madam Gu can only maintain the charade to the end

Upon hearing the Duke's agreement, Gu Qiancheng revealed a sly smile and turned to the crowd, saying: "Esteemed lords and ladies, you have all heard that my father has consented to exchange eight hundred thousand taels of silver for the dowry my mother left for me, to be given to my sister Qianxue as her bridal gift"

Duke Gu, with the assistance of his servants, stood up and admonished Gu Qiancheng: "Qiancheng, do not act recklessly. Who taught you to slander your own mother and defame your sister?"

Gu Qiancheng is his daughter, yet he hasn't uttered a single word to her. Unfortunately... Gu Guogong has forgotten that today's Gu Qiancheng is no longer the naive girl who knew nothing.

Upon hearing Gu Qiancheng's words, everyone turned their gaze towards m.hetushu.com.

Gu Qianxue heard these words behind the screen, her heart racing. The Crown Princess of the Zhao Kingdom, a dowry worth one million, all belonged to her, all belonged to her.

In this world, filial piety governs all; even if she is unwilling, she must still maintain a facade of propriety, and Gu Qiancheng bows respectfully to Duke Gu.

If Father had said this earlier, there would have been no issue. Gu Qiancheng shamelessly shifted the responsibility onto Duke Gu: "Father, if this man is liked by Qianxue, then let her have him. After all, I have no intention of getting married. If Qianxue likes my dowry, for your sake, Father, it would be fine for her to take it to the Zhao Wangfu."

The disgraceful affairs of oneself and those of the beloved daughter were publicly exposed by Gu Qiancheng, which infuriated Duke Gu beyond measure

Having lost such great face, Duke Gu could hardly contain his desire to slap Gu Qiancheng to death. However, he could not do so at this moment; he could only strive to restore the reputation of the Gu family
