How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 51 Don't laugh like that, it scares me.

Qian Laifu was stunned when he learned that Doctor Chang had given the dog two thousand taels of silver to buy candy! "Do you even know how much two thousand taels is?"

"I know, two thousand taels can buy a small house in the capital."

"Then you still dare to take it? Quickly return it to your Grandpa Chang."

“If I return it to Grandpa Chang, he will be unhappy. If Grandpa Chang is short of money, he can just find a wealthy family and ask them to treat the old folks. Grandpa Chang is giving it to me sincerely, and I genuinely like Grandpa Chang too. By the way, where did these two thousand taels come from?”

"Given by the Duke of Jin."

"Why did the Duke of Jin suddenly decide to give Grandpa Chang money?"

Qian Laifu recounted the whole story. "I wonder how your grandma is doing at home now? Your uncle and aunt must really want to come and see your eldest cousin off at her wedding. If no one takes care of Grandpa Chang in the future, you'll have to take care of him. Two thousand taels is enough for you to support ten Grandpa Changs."

“Okay. I’ll only gain by taking care of Grandpa Chang in his old age. My grandma can stay for another five months. The heir of the Duke of Jin will be getting married in two months. After his wedding, we’ll serve in the Duke of Jin’s mansion for another month, and then we can take my eldest cousin home. It would be too obvious if we left as soon as the heir of the Duke of Jin got married.”

"Grandpa knows. He's just nagging. You have to be good to your Grandpa Chang."

"I understand, don't worry."

Three days later, Little Dog Sheng went out for a stroll after breakfast. As soon as he came out, he saw the servants of the Duke of Jin's mansion all busy as spinning tops. Little Dog Sheng finally managed to find someone who was free. "Good morning, Granny Zhao. Granny Zhao, what are they busy with?"

Granny Zhao's expression was somewhat complicated. "My young master is getting married."

The little dog was stunned for a moment. "Your young master was injured while suppressing bandits?"

"No."

"Then why aren't you happy? Isn't getting married a joyous occasion?"

"Why are you asking so many questions, you little kid? Grandma has to go now, you play by yourself."

After saying that, Granny Zhao left.

After thinking for a moment, the puppy started to wander around.

After wandering around for a while, Xiaogousheng guessed why the heir of the Duke of Jin was suddenly getting married.

Old Master Dong was practicing his martial arts inside when his dog, Sheng, walked in through the door. Old Master Dong casually asked, "Why are you back so soon? Didn't you say you wouldn't be back until mealtime?"

"The heir of the Duke of Jin is getting married in five days. Where is my grandfather?"

"What?!" Old Master Dong was surprised. "Why so urgent? The heir of the Duke of Jin is injured? And seriously injured?"

"No. Judging from the expressions of the servants in the Duke of Jin's mansion, it seems like war is about to break out."

"War? Haven't the Northern Di been quite peaceful for the past ten years or so?" Thirteen years ago, when the Northern Di invaded, the Duke of Jin led his troops directly to the Northern Di's royal court. The Northern Di suffered heavy losses, and their royal family was almost entirely wiped out.

The puppy remained silent.

Dong Laoqi's eyes widened. "You think this is a trap set for the Duke of Jin and his heir?"

Xiaogou Sheng didn't want to think that way, but her reason told her that it was 90% true.

The little dog clenched its fist. "Where's my grandpa?"

"I went with Doctor Chang to see Second Master Jiang."

The puppy let out an "oh" and sat down on the chair next to it.

Old Master Dong looked up at the roof, his expression heavy with worry. "You want to remind the Duke of Jin?" They had already figured out how to save her eldest cousin. Even if her eldest cousin married into the family today, she wouldn't have to worry.

Xiao Gou Sheng raised her hand and rubbed her face. "The Duke of Jin is a hero; he shouldn't have ended up like this." She guessed those people would take the Duke of Jin's heir away the day after his wedding, but she hadn't expected them to use this method. Just as Xiao Gou Sheng finished speaking, Qian Laifu rushed in. Upon seeing Xiao Gou Sheng, Qian Laifu said, "The Duke of Jin's heir is getting married in five days."

"I already know." The little dog poured her grandfather a cup of tea. "Don't panic, didn't we already prepare?"

Qian Laifu knew, but he was still panicked. "Why is he suddenly getting married?"

Seeing that her grandfather was already quite panicked, Xiao Gousheng didn't tell him her guess. "Who knows? We just need to get my eldest cousin out of here. Come on, let's think about how to rescue my eldest cousin again?"

"First of all, the Duke of Jin's mansion is heavily guarded, making it difficult to sneak in. It wouldn't be easy to secretly send my eldest cousin out either. So, they probably don't intend to send my eldest cousin out; they'll probably just destroy the evidence."

“As I just said, it would be very difficult to sneak in. Therefore, the task of disposing of the body should be left to the personal maid of the wife of the Duke of Jin.”

"We just need to keep an eye on the personal maids of the Duke of Jin's heir. It would be best if we could replace their belongings. If we can't, we should rush into the bridal chamber before them and disrupt their plans. Once they're in disarray, we can rescue my eldest cousin."

"Uncle Dong will handle the changing of things. I'll handle rushing into the bridal chamber before them; I'm really good at stabbing people now. Not even a few maids, let alone a few strong men, can stop me. Where's my Grandpa Chang?"

"Your Grandpa Chang is giving Second Master Jiang acupuncture."

"Oh, Grandpa, you shouldn't go out these next few days."

"Okay." Qian Laifu knew he couldn't be of much help. "I'll just stay home with your Grandpa Chang."

"Hmm." Little Dog Sheng looked at Old Man Dong. "Let's go watch the fun."

"Alright." Old Dong led the little dog Sheng out of the house. "If you had rushed into the bridal chamber before the maid of the Duke of Jin's wife, you would have run into those people directly."

The little dog smiled. "That's what my grandfather said."

"……What's the meaning?"

Little Dog Sheng looked at Old Seven Dong and said with a smile, "It means that if we can't change the things on her body, we should first knock them unconscious, then hold their hands, take their hairpins and poke holes in their necks. After that, we should leave with my eldest cousin."

Dong Laoqi: "..." Can you please stop smiling so cutely? I'm scared. "Okay, let's go. If I ever offend you in the future, you have to tell me."

"Don't worry, I'll not only tell you, I'll also stab you to teach you a lesson. I snatched you back from someone else, I can't bear to kill you with a hairpin."

"...Shouldn't you say you treat me like family, and that you wouldn't get angry even if I offended you?"

"How could I not be angry? I'm not a saint."

"You'll lose me if you do this."

"If you leave, I'll go pick up another one."

Old Dong gritted his teeth. "You think it's easy to pick things up like me? Hurry up. Eating so much won't make you grow taller."

"Hehe... I was just kidding. Where else could I find someone as good-looking, good-fighting, and loving as you?"

"Hmph! Hurry up."

"okay!"

When Dong Laoqi and the little dog arrived at the courtyard of the Duke of Jin's heir, the Jiang family, the Imperial Academy Chancellor, had already begun carrying things into the house.

The leading old woman greeted the two of them with a smile and walked over. "Greetings, gentlemen. Who are you?"

The little dog puffed out its chest. "My daughter and I are honored guests of the Duke of Jin's mansion. We've come to see the excitement."

The leading old woman: "..." Where did this madman come from?
