Chapter 010: The Visitor

"Mother Sun," Gu Qiancheng closed the wooden box and called in Mother Sun: "Take this box to the old master and tell him that as I leave, I do not know when I will see him again. This is a token of my filial piety to him before my departure"

Gu Qiancheng stayed indoors to pack her belongings, placing some clothes and personal items into the box prepared by Mama Sun. Gu Qiancheng did not have many belongings, and even though she hopped around on one foot, she finished packing in just one hour

"Where can I let the young lady do these things? I will call someone to tidy up right away." As soon as Mother Sun finished speaking, she turned to leave, but was stopped by Gu Qiancheng: "Mother, don't go."

The young lady said that this is a lifesaving item

"Miss, rest assured, I will definitely take care of this matter." Mother Sun wiped the tears from her face, nodded emphatically, and quickly walked outside

After Mother Sun went out, Gu Qiancheng finally opened the box. Inside the box was a book and a few golden leaves. Gu Qiancheng did not pay attention to the golden leaves, but carefully took out the book along with the illustrations.

Is it coming soon

When the two families' wedding arrangements fall through, the Guo Gongfu will certainly go to the Zhao Wangfu to demand her dowry. Given the relationship between the Zhao Wangfei and her mother, the Zhao Wangfei will definitely insist on receiving that dowry, as she is the rightful owner of it

Miss... Mrs. Sun's eyes were filled with tears, her face full of heartache

Although Gu Qiancheng is confident in her ability to return, she still prepares for the worst-case scenario. It is better to be cautious than to be caught off guard. If, by any chance, the old master and mistress of the Gu family are just as muddled, then she would be in a dire situation.

"Mother Sun, you must personally hand it over to the old master. It doesn't matter if the old master doesn't open it, but it must be delivered into his hands and cannot fall into anyone else's possession." Gu Qiancheng cautioned repeatedly, fearing unforeseen circumstances.

Having completed all of this, Gu Qiancheng finally placed the book back into the wooden box, then took out the gold from the box and kept it on his person

Gu Qiancheng removed the cover from the book, and the words "Records of the Barbarians" along with the illustration were prominently printed on the front cover. Upon seeing these three characters, Gu Qiancheng smiled

"Mother Sun, you should go quickly; I will take care of the rest myself." Gu Qiancheng understood that it was not easy for Mother Sun to meet Old Master Gu, so it was wise to go ahead and wait.

A woman is alone in the wilderness, without food or clothing, leaving her with only one path: death

Gu Qiancheng raised his eyebrows in surprise, no longer drinking water, and turned to look outside the door, only to see ... ...

At last, it was completed. Gu Qiancheng let out a sigh of relief, wiped the sweat from his face, and was just about to get up to pour a glass of water when a hurried sound of footsteps came from outside the door, suggesting that there were quite a few people.

Gu Qiancheng trusts Mother Sun, but this trust comes with conditions. When it concerns her own future, Gu Qiancheng must exercise caution

"Miss, rest assured, I know what to do." Mother Sun received the wooden box with a serious expression, holding it tightly in her arms

Mother Sun repeatedly affirmed, almost swearing an oath.

No matter where it is, clinging tightly to those in power is both burdensome and necessary; thus, Gu Qiancheng intends to cling to the thigh of Old Master Gu

Gu Qiancheng did not allow Mother Sun to see what was in the box, but instead sent her to pack up, preparing more clothes and taking all the valuable items with her

If it comes to that, she can still use the eight hundred thousand taels of silver to her advantage. The Guo family will definitely not provide eighty thousand taels as a dowry for Qianxue. After this incident, the Zhao royal family will also not agree to Qin Yunchu marrying Gu Qianxue as his legitimate wife

This half of the book cannot be given to the old duke. Gu Qiancheng tore out the last few pages of half of "Records of Foreign Countries," and cleaned the binding string, making it appear as if it had just been split in two.

Gu Qiancheng shook his head nonchalantly: "I am fine, Mother. You just need to focus on doing this well. Once this is done, with the old master looking after us, our days in the residence will be much better."

However, for Gu Qiancheng, staying in the Gu family requires only half a book. With this half book, she is seventy percent confident that the old master will bring her back along with the books.

Gu Qiancheng shook her head: "Why should Mother go to such lengths to demean herself for those servants? The servants of the Duke's residence are accustomed to looking down on others; they do not regard me, this young lady, highly, so how could they possibly value the wet nurse of the young lady?"

Such a book would not only captivate the old duke, but even Gu Qiancheng would be very intrigued. Even if one does not seek the treasures within, presenting this book to the Emperor would still be a tremendous merit

"Records of the Barbarians" is an ancient text, believed to have been written by a royal prince of a previous dynasty. It documents the locations of treasures in various countries of that dynasty, including gold mines, silver mines, copper mines, geographical features, and even provides detailed accounts of the tombs of emperors and nobles from different eras.

Is it that urgent

In simple terms, this is a treasure-hunting guide, and it is also a remarkable military treatise. The "Records of the Yi Kingdom" not only documents treasures but also records the terrain of various regions. When leading troops in battle, being familiar with the terrain can provide a strategic advantage.

The book has a yellowish hue, and the pages are somewhat dry, clearly indicating that mhetushu.com is an old book. However, it has been preserved relatively well, not affecting the reading experience

When she first arrived, she discovered this book. At that time, she intended to secretly find a piece of wood to stabilize her foot injury and had her sights set on the bed board. Unexpectedly, she did not use the bed board, but instead found a treasure.

There is no other way; either others have thighs that are too thin, or they are simply impossible to hold onto. Old Lady Gu is her only hope

Certainly, the matter of the dowry can only serve as a supplementary aspect. If the two families reach an agreement privately, she will have no part in it. Gu Qiancheng still places her hopes on this half volume of "Records of the Yi Nation".

Indeed, when Gu Qiancheng discovered this book, she had only read half of it, and the unfortunate part was that the half in her hands only recorded geographical features, with no trace of treasure whatsoever

With such great merit, Gu Qiancheng certainly thought about keeping it for herself, but as a woman, she could not leave the manor and enter the palace. Of course, this is not the main point; the main point is that Gu Qiancheng only has half a volume of the "Records of the Yi Nation"

The daughter of a noble family lives in such a constrained manner, truly pathetic
