Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Treasure Room (2) Chapter 262: Chapter 262: Treasure Room (2) Gu Qingfeng led Gu Qiaoqiao toward the door of a small drawing room.
After entering, they discovered that this place should actually be called a study.
Bookshelves on three sides.
At the doorway, Uncle Gu slowly closed the door from outside.
Then he sat down on a nearby sofa, quietly waiting for Old Master Gu and Gu Qiaoqiao to come out.
But at this moment, Gu Qingfeng didn’t move; instead, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. He pointed at a bookshelf in front of them with his walking stick and said to Gu Qiaoqiao, “Qiaoqiao, the Red Spirit Jade Marrow is behind that bookshelf. Can you try to see if you can open it?”
Was it a test for her?
Seeing that Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t speak, Gu Qingfeng continued, “Go look for it and see if you have a fate with the Red Spirit Jade Marrow…”
“Didn’t you promise me that after seeing the jade pocket watch, you would personally hand over the Red Spirit Jade Marrow to me? Are you thinking of going back on your word now?”
“Qiaoqiao, are you not in a hurry for this stone?”
Gu Qingfeng asked in surprise.
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded her head, “Mmm, not too much in a hurry.”
Gu Qingfeng took a seat on the sofa and squinted his eyes, “Go then, let me see your true capabilities…”
Since it had been said, she might as well go take a look.
Gu Qiaoqiao became curious as well.
The area behind this bookshelf clearly contained a secret room or a safe for valuable items.
It was surprising that Old Patriarch Gu trusted her so much.
It confirmed what Qin Yize had said; Gu Qingfeng was treating her as a successor.
Yes, with her as a successor, it’s believed Gu Qingfeng would wake up smiling even in his dreams.
Gu Qiaoqiao stood in front of the bookshelf, examining it carefully.
If there was a switch, it wouldn’t be on the highest shelf.
Because there were no ladders in the room.
And given that Gu Qingfeng was about one meter eighty, the height wouldn’t be set based on his stature.
Gu Qiaoqiao slowly stretched out her hand.
Gu Qingfeng looked at the position and praised in his heart; this child was clever.
Her analysis was correct.
And all of Gu Qiaoqiao’s inspiration came from her hands.
She felt along the edge of the bookshelf bit by bit.
Then she stopped at a slightly raised area.
Turning her head with a smile towards Gu Qingfeng, she pressed down with force, slowly pushing it.
Gu Qingfeng couldn’t help but marvel as he stood up from the sofa.
Together with Gu Qiaoqiao, he watched the bookshelf slowly part in the middle, like two doors being pushed open.
Inside was a secret chamber.
But it didn’t feel stuffy.
On the contrary, a comfortable aura swirled around.
As the bookshelf parted, the light from outside also cast into the room.
Gu Qiaoqiao was dumbfounded.
It was actually a treasure room.
On three sides of the room were layers of shelves from Duobao Pavilion, seven or eight layers tall, filled with a dazzling array of shiny and colorful treasures.
Green like oil was flowing from jadeite, white and translucent mutton-fat jade, purple agates, blue gemstones…
No one knew how many years they had been there, but despite the passage of time and whether or not they were bathed in sunlight, their brilliance was still dazzling and breathtaking at this moment.
Old Master Gu was truly not all talk.
Saying he was wealthy enough to rival nations seemed to be no exaggeration.
In her previous life, did all these things end up belonging to Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng in the end?
Gu Qiaoqiao stepped forward, her expression cool as she looked at each item.
Her fingers fluttered, uncontrollably grazing across those stones.
Even just a brief touch still allowed the cool, smooth sensation to enter her fingertips.
Gu Qingfeng also walked in.
