Volume 1_Chapter 229: The more the grandfather looks at his granddaughter's husband, the more pleasing he finds him

Yun Jiande was stared at by Yun Qiyue, his gaze flickering slightly.

Although Yun Jiande had hidden it well enough, Yun Qiyue still managed to see a clue in it.

It seems, just as she thought, there is something fishy going on.

Thinking of this, Yun Qiyue looked at Ye Lanjue, "Imperial Uncle, do you have a way?"

Ye Lanjue didn't even give the Yun Family members a glance, saying indifferently, "I do."

Yun Qiyue's eyes brightened, "Imperial Uncle can open that door?"

Ye Lanjue: "I can!"

Upon hearing this, Yun Qiyue was delighted.

And upon hearing this, Yun Jiande's face turned pale.

"Re... Regent, how do you intend to open that door?"

If anyone else had said they could open that door, he might have thought they were daydreaming.

But inexplicably, since the Regent Ye Lanjue said he could open the door, he felt it might be true.

But, the key being lost was a lie he had made up on the spot; how could he have lost such an important key?

He was just afraid of people seeing the current state of the treasury.

After all, for so many years, that treasury...

If the Regent really opened the door, wouldn't the things he was hiding...

The more he thought about it, the paler Yun Jiande's face became.

"How to open it, we'll know once we go there. Why is Uncle so anxious now?" Yun Qiyue looked at Yun Jiande with a smile.

And after hearing his granddaughter's words, Yun Yongyuan also looked at Yun Jiande, his eyes narrowing slightly, full of suspicion, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Jiande immediately shook his head.

"No."

As he spoke, he looked at Yun Qiyue, saying with a kind face, "Qiyue, what are you thinking? How is Uncle anxious? Uncle is just worried that an unconventional way of opening the door might damage the treasury..."

As he spoke, Yun Jiande looked at Yun Jianye.

Yun Jianye was no fool, and at this moment, he also began to suspect Yun Jiande.

Therefore, he was also prepared to speak up in line with Yun Qiyue's words.

However, Li Shulan, who knew her husband too well, stopped Yun Jianye in time and said to Yun Qiyue with a smile, "Qiyue, why don't we wait a bit? Maybe your uncle will be able to find the key."

Li Shulan was naturally very clear that her brother-in-law's reaction right now was definitely problematic.

But Li Shulan's shrewdness lay in the fact that she only wanted to settle accounts with her brother-in-law behind closed doors and did not want Yun Qiyue to get involved.

She knew very well that if they settled accounts behind closed doors, she could still reap some benefits.

But if Yun Qiyue got involved, their Third Branch wouldn't get anything.

Therefore, at this time, she had to help her brother-in-law no matter what.

However, Yun Qiyue did not go along with Li Shulan's words and directly refused, "No need."

As she spoke, she added, "If I'm not mistaken, the things inside should all be my father's. Since they are all my father's, they are mine. Since they are all my things, I want to see them whenever I want. Whether there is a key doesn't matter, as long as it can be opened."

Yun Qiyue's words made the Yun Family members very angry.

How could the things in the Yun Family's treasury be hers, Yun Qiyue's?

A girl who would eventually become an outsider, she certainly had a big mouth.

But with the old master present, and the Regent also present, even if they were angry in their hearts, they dared not say anything.

In short, they felt very stifled.

"Even if the things are Third Sister's, the treasury belongs to the entire Yun Family. What if Third Sister damages the treasury just to see her own things?" Yun Yarou spoke up.

"That's easy to handle."

As Yun Qiyue said this, she looked at Ye Lanjue and blinked her eyes, "Imperial Uncle, if you want to repair a treasury, it shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Anyway, she felt that the Regent's powerful persona should be omnipotent.

Of course, even if the Imperial Uncle couldn't repair it, it didn't matter.

Grandfather hadn't said anything yet, so these irrelevant people should just stay out of it.

Ye Lanjue looked at Yun Qiyue and said indifferently, "Rebuilding one would be no problem."

The tone was indifferent, but the words were incomparably domineering.

The Yun Family members: "..." They were completely choked up.

Yun Yongyuan: "..." Why did this brat steal his line?

However, although the old master thought this with dissatisfaction in his heart, the look in his eyes as he watched Ye Lanjue had a feeling of 'the more the grandfather looks at his granddaughter's husband, the more pleasing he finds him'.

And Yun Yarou, who had been snapped at, only felt as if something was stuck in her heart.

She was both angry and envious.

She didn't understand, what exactly was it for?

Why could Yun Qiyue be treated so well by Ye Lanjue?

Even if Yun Jiande was unwilling, the fact that Yun Qiyue and Ye Lanjue were going to open the treasury door today could not be changed.

So, the group headed in the direction of the Yun Family treasury.

In fact, under normal circumstances, apart from the head of the family, no one else knew where the treasury was.

Therefore, when Yun Yongyuan led everyone to the family's ordinary storeroom, everyone was stunned.

This storeroom was where the treasury was located?

The answer, naturally, was no.

The Yun Family's storehouse was simply a courtyard enclosed by a few rooms.

All of the Yun Family's ordinary expenditures were processed from here.

The small room beside the storehouse was where the accountant worked.

When the accountant saw a group of the Yun Family's masters walking over, he hurriedly came out and bowed in salute.

The old master had no interest in the accountant; he merely waved his hand, signaling for him to leave first.

After the accountant left, the old master walked up to a large piece of artificial rockery in the courtyard.

The gazes of everyone in the Yun Family were, at this very moment, all fixed upon the old master.

They saw the old master fiddle with it for a moment, and the stone actually moved aside on its own.

Yun Yarou, Yun Jianye, Yun Laofuren, and the others were all extremely shocked to see this scene.

They had actually not known that the Yun Family's legendary treasure vault was right beneath this stone.

Yun Qiyue, however, walked to the edge of the stone and peered inside with great curiosity.

It had rained last night, so the ground was still somewhat damp.

But at this moment, after the stone was moved aside, the stairs revealed underneath were dry, without a single drop of water.

This waterproofing and moisture-removal work was truly done well.

After finishing her exclamation, Yun Qiyue followed the old master down the stairs first, with Ye Lanjue following closely behind her.

As for those people of the Yun Family, it was their first time entering the treasure vault, so naturally, they excitedly followed quickly, fearing that if they were a step late, they wouldn't be able to get in.

Among these people, only Yun Jiande was the slowest, trailing at the very back.

But fearing that his family would see through his clues, Yun Jiande eventually walked in as well.

Very quickly, the entire group arrived in the underground space.

After descending the stairs, the underground space was only as large as a single room, with stone walls on all four sides; one couldn't even tell where a stone door might be, let alone a keyhole.

Yun Qiyue looked at the old master with bright eyes.

The wisdom of these ancients was truly no joke.

Finding a treasure vault was simply like opening a blind box.

Yun Qiyue was still waiting to witness a miracle.

However, the old master did not satisfy Yun Qiyue, but instead looked at Ye Lanjue, "It is your turn."

Yun Qiyue, and even the others, all looked at Ye Lanjue.

Ye Lanjue merely nodded.

Then, he raised his hand and, without any hesitation, struck a palm toward one direction.

Although this palm strike was launched without sound or movement, everyone present felt pressure, as if a powerful force were pushing against them.

Yet, when that force dissipated, the wall surface that Ye Lanjue had struck remained completely unmoved.

Seeing this, Yun Jiande finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He had said so; how could such a thick and heavy stone door be opened so easily?

However, before Yun Jiande had finished exhaling, his eyes suddenly widened, and the terror in the depths of his eyes was of the kind that could barely be hidden...
