Chapter 213 - Ancestral Hall (2/2)

The only reason why he hadn’t withdrawn his proposal in the beginning was that Gu Wanqin had told him about the treasure.

He wanted to trick Gu Bailu into giving it to him.

However, her former self had remembered her mother’s reminder that the treasure was only to be used during consummation.

Her former self had found it embarra.s.sing, so hadn’t revealed it however they tried to deceive her.

In the last attempt, Gu Wanqin ascertained that Gu Bailu didn’t know where the treasure was at all.

So, she simply pushed her off the cliff and ended the life of the former Gu Bailu.

Gu Bailu decided to find out what the treasure was.

Gu Bailu shut the door of the room and jumped out the window.

Behind the window was a trail that led to the family’s ancestral hall.

When her former self was little, she always went to her mother like this when she missed her.

The ancestral hall was dim and cold.

A dozen memorial tablets were placed there, and her mother’s was the most recent one.

Gu Bailu noticed the dust on the tablet. There were few offerings before it. It wasn’t hard to imagine how the servants treated it.

Gu Bailu wiped the tablet with a handkerchief and put it away.

“Mother, your daughter is also dead. I wonder if you’ve met each other in the other world. But rest a.s.sured, I won’t let go of those who were mean to you.”

Gu Bailu knelt before the tablet, and then stood up.

As for the other people in the ancestral hall, she didn’t know them and simply ignored them.
