Gu Zhicheng’s figure trembled visibly, and the members of the Gu family froze in place along with him.
“Qingluan, do you really want to turn this into a life-and-death battle between us? I’m your father, after all! If this becomes public, won’t you be worried about the stigma of being seen as an ungrateful child?”
Gu Zhicheng’s heart ached and he felt helpless.
But his facade had long lost its appeal.
Even the bystanders, those watching from the sidelines, could tell that he was using filial duty to pressure Gu Qingluan because he couldn’t match her strength head-on.
Gu Qingluan wasn’t falling for his tricks. “If you’re not kind, don’t be surprised if I’m not respectful. Planning to manipulate emotions? Alright, start by returning my dowry.”
“It’s not that we’re unwilling to give it back to you. You’re well aware that the Gu family’s funds were used to buy Universe Stabilizers. If we had the money, why wouldn’t we return it to you?” Wang Shi said with a bitter expression.

It was Second Master who borrowed money from the Yue family to help me get through that tough time. If we had money, why would we covet a junior’s dowry?”
“Indeed, it’s not that we are unwilling to give it back, but we simply can’t afford to do so!”
A prominent family like theirs, yet struggling like beggars – people usually wouldn’t confess to such a situation.
But they couldn’t worry about that now.
If they didn’t expose this, they would all be crushed by Gu Qingluan.
Might as well resist Gu Qingluan’s coercion under the pressure of public opinion.
They had their plan laid out with loud clattering, but they didn’t expect Gu Qingluan to have an ace up her sleeve.
She exclaimed with emotion, “Madam Wang, your lies are spoken without a trace of guilt. Admirable, truly admirable!”
“I’m speaking the truth, whether you believe it or not,” Wang Shi retorted angrily.
“Is it the truth? Because I’ve heard that Madam Wang arranged a lavish dowry for your daughter, and it appears that numerous valuable items were transferred from my mother’s dowry.” Gu Qingluan smiled with a hint of mockery, her voice seductive.
Wang Shi’s expression changed dramatically, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes. She vehemently denied, “What nonsense are you spouting? There’s no dowry left at all. We’ve used every bit of it to sustain the family.”
“Oh? What if I could find the dowry?” Gu Qingluan’s lips curved into a shallow smile, her voice tantalizing.
Wang Shi persisted, “There is none at all!”
“Whether you have it or not, we’ll know when we go inside! Xiaobai, go!”
A white figure leaped out from Su Lie’s arms and sprinted toward the entrance of the Gu family estate.
Gu Qingluan dismounted, following closely behind and flying into the Gu family courtyard.
The Gu family members couldn’t stop her.
Su Lie quickly rallied, leading a group of people in pursuit.
They had been eager to do this for a while!
These Gu family members, who exploit their mistress without expressing gratitude, had the audacity to mistreat her and even appropriate her dowry. It was genuinely enraging!

Su Lie casually pushed aside Gu Zhixin, who was trying to block their way.
“Who wants to hinder our mistress?” He threatened, his gaze sweeping over the Gu family members who were ready to rush forward.
Everyone glanced at Gu Qingluan, who had floated far away, and their steps came to a halt.
Who would dare provoke that demoness?
The neighbors wanted to follow inside for a peek.
But they were blocked by the Gu family members.
The woman who had previously responded to Gu Qingluan scanned the surroundings and then raised her voice, addressing, “First Lady Gu, may we enter and have a look?”
Gu Qingluan halted and pivoted, threading through the crowd to face the individuals obstructed at the gate. She smiled knowingly and remarked, “The Gu family has nothing to conceal. Feel free to enter.”
Inside the Gu family estate, there were countless things that should remain hidden.
However, they couldn’t argue back, for that would mean acknowledging that the Gu family did indeed have secrets to hide.
Moreover, they dared not obstruct when Gu Qingluan had spoken.
So, dozens of people swarmed inside..
