Rebirth of the Great Miss of the Inner Court Struggle

A daughter from a prominent family is desired by many, yet the daughter of the Yong family is sought by none. Noble families consider her nouveau riche and vulgar, while scholarly houses pride them...

Chapter 42 Battle (Part 7)

Sun Gan kicked the chair beside him in frustration. "How can the Hao family father and son compare to me!" He was just trying to hide his cowardice. Having been rich and powerful for so long, and having been in a high position for so long, what he feared most was death.

"The Hao family is nothing but a bunch of brutes and nouveau riche. How can they be compared to you, sir? But with you gone, sir, death is the end of all." He forced himself to say the last few words.

The Sun family is a first-rate family, and Sun Ganzheng, as the head of the Sun family, plays a pivotal role in the nation's affairs. But that was when he was alive. What if Princess Jun were someone who didn't care about anything? If she were killed, so be it. Even if the powerful families came to punish her, she had the Emperor, the Huo family, the Xie family, the Qiu family, and the Yan family behind her. They really couldn't do anything to her.

In the end, even if she died, it would be in vain. The Hao family, including the Hao Guojiu, were a precedent. Not only did they die a violent death, but they were also brutally murdered. After the matter was over, the Empress and the Crown Prince were extremely grateful to her.

Thinking of all this, Sun Qi felt a pang of worry for his father.

"I don't believe it. She's just a mere woman. What can she do to me? Go ahead and block her way. If she dares to trespass into my Sun residence, kill her without mercy!" Sun Ganzheng's eyes flickered, and he gave the order in a stern voice.

Sun Qi knew that he had taken his words to heart, breathed a sigh of relief, and respectfully took his leave.

After watching Sun Qi leave, Sun Gan quickly closed the door, then opened the hidden compartment on the bookshelf. As soon as the compartment opened, the entire bookshelf split in half.

After the bookshelf separated, a small dark room was revealed inside. The dark room was not large, about five or six square meters. There were about ten drawers on the wall opposite the door of the dark room. They looked extremely old. A lamp was lit on the left wall. Sun Gan was walking into the dark room. After he entered, the bookshelf closed automatically.

"The top-tier secret guards can only be activated when the family is on the verge of collapse." He muttered to himself, reaching out to slowly open a drawer and take out the token inside.

Suddenly, a gentle breeze blew in from somewhere, and the lights in the dark room went out.
