With a rumbling sound, the door of the secret room was opened by Chen Pan using a mechanism.

The secret room that had been sealed for nearly 20 years was once again exposed to the light of day. Chen Pan coughed because of the unpleasant smell and the flying dust in the secret room.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Chen Pan couldn't stand it and covered his mouth and nose, and took a step back quickly.

When the unpleasant smell in the secret room was gone and the dust was not so heavy, Chen Pan took a flashlight and walked slowly into the secret room along the dark stairs.

This secret room is a basement. Grandpa Chen dug it very deep for the sake of secrecy. Chen Pan walked up five flights of stairs, at least 20 meters, before she finally reached the bottom.

The secret room was built simply, and there were no hidden weapons that could harm people. Chen Pan walked into the secret room carefully and found that there were only ten large camphorwood boxes neatly arranged in the secret room.

Chen Pan looked at it curiously and opened the one closest to her. Then she found that the box was filled with a box of silver ingots.

Ten taels each, very fine silver ingots, there must be at least several hundred of them.

Chen Pan looked at the money and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of his mouth. Grandpa Chen really took great pains for his favorite concubine.

No wonder he didn't fight for the family property for his concubine? The money here is enough for him and his concubine to spend their whole lives, living a life of luxury, so why would he bother to fight for the Chen family's little things?

Although Grandma Chen controlled the superficial business of the Chen family, only Grandpa Chen knew the wealth accumulated by the Chen family for generations.

That man was very selfish.

When he was alive, he only asked Grandma Chen for money. When the Chen family was in the most difficult time, he only said that the money had been spent by him a long time ago, and he never told Grandma Chen the truth.

He watched helplessly as Grandma Chen worked hard for the Chen family. He embraced his concubine and enjoyed himself in the pile of money. He never helped Grandma Chen.

He was really heartless and ungrateful.

Fortunately, Chen Kangan was like Grandma Chen, and did not have the temper and character of Grandpa Chen. Otherwise, Chen Pan would be so angry if she had such an unreliable father like Grandpa Chen.

After looking at the silver ingots, Chen Pan found a box of gold bars and three boxes of antiques, calligraphy and paintings. All of them were worth a fortune.

Among the remaining five boxes, three contained the genealogy of the Chen family, and two contained various fine varieties and scattered land deeds. It is the foundation of the Chen family.

The Chen family used to be a big landlord, and they made their fortune by farming. For the Chen family, land and good seeds are more valuable than gold and silver.

Grandma Chen died in the year of the founding of the country. When she died, Chen Kangan had just taken over the family business and was in a mess. Grandpa Chen took advantage of her and lost the family tree and couldn't find it.

Grandpa Chen left these to his concubine, which was obviously because he looked down on Chen Kangan and wanted Chen Xingguo to be his heir.

Fortunately, Grandma Chen died early, and didn't know about the terrible and ridiculous things Grandpa Chen did. Otherwise, the strong woman who had been strong all her life would definitely not be able to stand it.
