The point was that the Gu family used to be very wealthy, and was an aristocratic family. They had an untold wealth. It was no surprise that the Sun family had managed to obtain so many things.

Mo Beihan suspected that many families within the Southern Lake and Qing River Brigades had items that used to belong to the Gu family.

Gu Qingyao was unhappy as she put the things into her inters.p.a.ce.

They filled the hole, then went to the other spot to dig.

There were more boxes here, six in total.

Gu Qingyao was even more displeased when she saw them!

She put them away, then filled in the hole. Anyway, it was snowing now and all traces would soon be hidden. Before they left, Mo Beihan went around the Sun house and when he returned, he had a small wooden box in his hand. When they opened it, they found a few jade bangles, a string of pearls, two rings, and a few gold bracelets.

Gu Qingyao angrily put them into her inters.p.a.ce.

Mo Beihan smiled and stroked her little head. “All right, calm down. Let's go back! I'll walk you home.”

Her mood improved after he coaxed her a little. Mo Beihan brought her back to the Gu house. It was already past midnight, and it would be dawn in another two hours.

When Gu Qingyao reached her room, she went into her inters.p.a.ce to see what the Sun family had taken.

When she opened all the boxes, Gu Qingyao realized that although there were so many boxes, there were not many things in them.

It was mostly jewels and precious stones, and most of them were not of good quality.

After all, the Sun family had been servants. The objects they usually came into contact with were not of the best quality. The Gu family would certainly have hidden the best things.

Within one of the large boxes was a small box, which contained items of higher quality.

There were two luminous green jade bangles made of high-grade material and these were fairly good. Although they were not top-quality, they would be worth about ten million in the future. That was not bad.

There were another two pearl necklaces that were more valuable. The rest included two pairs of red gold bracelets in the dragon and phoenix design that were embedded with rubies. Then there was a top-quality hair ornament in the form of a peach blossom. The hair ornament was very pretty, and the pink pearl flowers looked very realistic. The design was lively without losing its elegance, and it was very suitable for a young girl.

The rest were all rings.

Most of them were rings with gems, or diamond rings. Rings were small and easier to hide.

When the Gu family fell on difficult times, the Sun family made use of the ensuing chaos to hide these things. These were all top-quality items.

Among the rest, there were fewer items of good quality, like some gold and silver jewelry, and some larger decorative items. She was not sure whether they were a reward from the Gu family's Master or whether they had stolen them.

Because the decorative items were rather large, there were more than ten boxes, but only a few items.

Last of all were some precious stones and jewelry that would be worth about ten thousand yuan or so in later years.

The items were worth more when added together. Gu Qingyao organized them. There were more than a hundred items in total. The prettier items which were not very valuable would make for good gifts later on.

Gu Qingyao's mood improved after she had finished organizing everything. She felt pleased whenever she thought of how the Sun family would not be able to put on any airs now that these things were gone.

It was almost dawn in the outer world. After a tiring night, Gu Qingyao slept in the inters.p.a.ce before emerging.

Early the next morning, she happily got out of bed to make breakfast for the whole family.

Gu Yunshuang got up shortly thereafter. She had done all the cooking ever since she had returned home.
