"Actually, this isn't the Gu Family's property, it's my family's ancestral home..."
Not the Gu Family, but my family...
Seemingly contradictory words, yet Gu Qianqian immediately understood what the old lady meant. The old lady was a descendant of the imperial family, once a princess.
For a princess to live in a place resembling a palace, that was only natural.
So when the old lady said this, Gu Qianqian immediately guessed that this old mansion was the old lady's dowry. In the past, such a house as dowry wasn't considered a significant gift, but now it was rare, making it priceless.
Although she thought this made sense, upon hearing these words, Gu Qianqian couldn't help but sigh, "No wonder..."
Seeing all of Gu Qianqian's reactions, the old lady was satisfied to see that although she was surprised, she didn't overreact. She smiled again before continuing, "Your father knows, your two brothers know, you're just back, so it's normal not to know."
