In other words, the Yang family has always relied on the Gu family since a few years ago.

Now that Yan Shicheng was openly taking away the Gu family’s dowry, it was just absolutely disgusting.

After that, Zhou Ying carefully read the contents of the letters. She did not expect it to be a letter between Yang Shicheng and the Empress’s maiden family, the Sun family.

However, it was not from the Marquis of Ding’an but from his younger brother, Sun Wenhao. He was a businessman who managed their family business.

He had established a connection with the First Prince roughly six years ago.

Unfortunately, there was no information on him participating in the Gu family’s raid.

Of course, it could not be ruled out that the First Prince and the others did not truly trust him back then.

After all, from Yang Wanning’s words, Yang Shicheng had treated the three of them quite well before the Gu family’s accident.

Another possibility was that Yang Shicheng feared this information would leak and destroy those pieces of evidence.

But regardless of that, just based on the gold and silver stored here, it could be seen that Yang Shicheng was not a good person.

Just as she was about to leave after wiping away the traces of her presence, she suddenly heard a series of faint footsteps approaching from afar.

Soon, the footsteps gradually became clearer, and Zhou Ying’s presence stayed behind.

A black figure carrying an oil lamp entered the secret room a moment later.

However, the person did not enter from the entrance she discovered. Instead, a trapdoor was opened below the secret room. When the trapdoor opened, the person was able to enter inconspicuously.

With the help of the weak light, Zhou Ying confirmed that the person was Yang Shicheng and then waited on the side.

At the same time, she was impressed by Yang Shicheng’s cunning. Even she was fooled by this double-layered mechanism.

She saw him enter, close the trapdoor, and admire the various things in the secret room.

He was especially focused on a landscape painting. He stared blankly at it for a while before carefully putting it away.

He closed the trapdoor, took a letter from his sleeve, and put it in a secret compartment. Then, he reopened the trapdoor and walked out with his oil lamp.

After he left, Zhou Ying read the letter that he had put in.

It was a letter personally written by the First Prince regarding the fact that a hundred thousand taels of silver had been placed in a manor and that he should claim it as soon as possible.

“Where did this corruption come from? A hundred thousand taels of silver! How much of this is from the commoners?” Zhou Ying said it through gritted teeth.

However, the letter did not mention anything else.

She had no choice but to use her spiritual senses to chase after Yang Shicheng quickly, and surprisingly, she ended up in an ancestral hall.

Meanwhile, Yang Shicheng had already returned to his study room to sleep.

Just as she was about to leave, she remembered the purpose of her visit.

She went to the central courtyard and discovered Mrs. Cui’s list of Yang Wanyu’s dowry. Zhou Ying was taken aback by the total of 66 sets of dowries.

There were also two manors and two shops.

If she remembered correctly, they were all the dowries from the Gu family.

There were also a lot of silks and satins, as well as calligraphy and paintings. She couldn’t remember which belonged to Mrs. Gu and which didn’t, but Zhou Ying was pretty confident that the majority of them did.

Finally, she found the deeds of the two manors and two shops that belonged to Mrs. Gu. As expected, they were already under Yang Wanyu’s name.

“Sigh, what a shameless woman Mrs. Cui is!” she couldn’t help but sigh. “How could she have done it?

“Yang Wanning’s dowry is probably nothing compared to this. What a black heart the woman has.”

At this moment, she suddenly thought of the Hardy Ice Plant in Yang Wanning’s tea leaves. Perhaps Mrs. Cui did not even plan for Yang Wanning to get married at all.

Thinking of this, she conjured a dream for Mrs. Cui, which the late Mrs. Gu kept demanding for her life.

After a while, Mrs. Cui was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat. At the same time, she kept shouting, “Don’t, don’t, don’t look for me! If you want to find the culprit, go look for Yang Shicheng or the Empress..”
