How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 57 Are you here to pick me up?

"That's good." Qian Chunhua was visibly happy. "Oh dear, why are you so dirty? Where have you been? Here, let me help you change your clothes."

See? As soon as she told her eldest cousin that the Duke of Jin's heir was alive, her cousin completely forgot about him. "Elder sister, why didn't you ask me how I knew the Duke of Jin's heir was alive?"

As Qian Chunhua helped her younger cousin change her clothes, she said, "Why should I ask so many questions? We're not on the same wavelength."

She had never considered marrying into wealth before, and she's even less inclined to now. "Where have you been? You look like you've fallen."

“I went to Longhua Temple. Didn’t my grandfather and I find a child in a mass grave? We couldn’t raise him, so we went to ask Master Daoyi at Longhua Temple for help. Master Daoyi said he could only help us raise him for two years.”

“I calculated that the two years are almost up, so I wanted to get to know that child better so that he wouldn’t refuse if we suddenly asked him to come with us.”

"As it turned out, the people from Longhua Temple said that Master Yi had not returned yet."

"My grandpa and I thought that since we've already climbed to the top of the mountain, let's go for a walk in the mountains. Maybe we'll find something good."

"We actually encountered it, but unfortunately we didn't catch it."

Qian Chunhua laughed as soon as she heard that. "Not only did you fail to catch him, you also took a nasty fall. Isn't that right?"

"Yes. That rabbit runs incredibly fast; I suspect it's become a spirit."

"It's clearly because your legs are short."

"hey-hey……"

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the seven-nine-year mourning period for the "Heir Apparent of the Duke of Jin" has passed.

Jiang Yuxin was reading a book when a maid came in and told her that the old lady wanted to see her.

Jiang Yuxin frowned. "I understand, you can go now."

"Yes."

Jiang Yuxin finished reading the book in her hand before getting up.

When Jiang Yuxin arrived at the old lady's place, she saw that the Duchess was also there. "Grandmother, Mother."

The Duchess hummed in agreement.

The old lady beckoned to Jiang Yuxin. "Child, come to your grandmother."

"it is good."

After Jiang Yuxin arrived, the old lady took her hand and asked about her health. After asking, the old lady looked at the Duchess. "I called you two here today to talk about Xin'er's future. Xin'er is still young. If Xin'er wants to remarry in the future, you must not stop her. Not only must you not stop her, you must also give Xin'er a dowry."

The Duchess: "I understand." Why is she still dragging them along when her son is already dead? "But the child can't be taken away, and neither can the girl." The girl is also her eldest son's only child.

The old lady replied, "Of course."

Jiang Yuxin desperately wanted to remarry. But she had to prioritize the important matters. "Grandmother, I will not remarry. I was born a member of the Jiang family, and I will die a member of the Jiang family."

The Duchess was deeply moved. "Silly child. Your grandmother is right, you are still young. As long as you give birth to the child safely, your mother will be content."

The old lady scoffed inwardly. "If you really don't leave, then don't blame us."

The old lady gently patted Jiang Yuxin's hand. "Good child, you are young and don't know the bitterness of widowhood. You are the one I chose, and I can't bear to let you spend the rest of your life alone. Go back and think it over carefully. If you can't make up your mind, ask your mother. Your mother should know that your grandmother is doing this for your own good."

Jiang Yuxin was about to speak when the old lady waved her hand. "Alright, it's settled then. You two can go back now, I'm tired."

On the other side, Qian Laifu and Xiaogou Sheng went several more times, but Master Daoyi still hadn't returned.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, spring has arrived. Grandpa Jiang can walk on his own now, and it's time for Qian Laifu and his two grandsons to go home.

The old lady prepared two cartloads of precious medicinal herbs for Doctor Chang.

Since Doctor Chang has lived in the Duke of Jin's mansion for so long, the old lady has come to know what kind of person he is.
Doctor Chang was very pleased. "If I ever come to the capital again, I will come and take your pulses."

"Okay, okay. If you encounter any difficulties, come to us. We will definitely help you if we can."

When Gou Sheng and her companions arrived at the Duke of Jin's mansion, they carried only a few bundles. When they left, they used three carriages: one for luggage and two for medicinal herbs.

Qian Laifu drove one car, Dong Laoqi drove one car, and Xiaogou Sheng drove one car.

Doctor Chang and Qian Chunhua were both in the same carriage as Xiaogou Sheng. One was sitting next to Xiaogou Sheng, while the other was hidden in the luggage. The old lady had originally wanted to send a few guards to escort them, but Doctor Chang and Xiaogou Sheng both felt it was unnecessary.

The legendary doctor Chang used silver needles and sleeping pills.

The puppy had silver needles, sleeping pills, and Uncle Dong left.

The old lady couldn't help but exclaim as she watched the little dog, Sheng, drive the carriage quite steadily: "This child is really capable."

The capable little dog Sheng went to Longhua Temple again, but Master Daoyi had not returned yet. So, Sheng had no choice but to leave a letter for Master Daoyi.

After leaving the city, Xiao Gousheng found a grove of trees and pulled Qian Chunhua out of his luggage. "Were you feeling cooped up?"

No. You're still catching the train?

"Hmm. Do you want to learn? I'll teach you."

"Okay." My little cousin is so capable, I, as her older sister, can't be too incompetent.

While demonstrating to Qian Chunhua, Xiaogou Sheng said, "We're going to a mass grave in a bit. Are you scared?"

I'm still afraid.

Qian Chunhua took a deep breath. "I won't be afraid if I go with you a few more times."

"If you're scared, just wait for us at the foot of the mountain. Don't force yourself."

"it is good."

Soon, Xiaogou Sheng and his party arrived. They parked the car at the foot of the mountain. "Big sister, why don't you stay down the mountain with Grandpa and watch the carriages first?" They planned to pass through all the mass graves along the way.

Qian Laifu also felt that he should give his eldest granddaughter some time. "Yes, yes, you can stay with Grandpa down the mountain and watch the cars for now."

Qian Chunhua glanced at her little cousin, who wasn't even as tall as her legs. "I want to give it a try."

"Alright then. You stick close to Gousheng, and Gousheng will be immune to all evil."

"it is good."

Seeing that they had made up their minds, Doctor Chang strode towards the mass grave.

The little dog, Sheng, quickly chased after him. "Grandpa Chang, slow down! Aren't you afraid of stray dogs?"

Oh right.

Doctor Chang returned and picked up the puppy, Sheng. "Let's go, let's go."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." As soon as we arrived at the mass grave, Grandpa Chang's IQ dropped. "Grandpa Chang, you can let Uncle Dong hold me. Uncle Dong knows martial arts."

Oh right.

Doctor Chang shoved the puppy Sheng into Old Man Dong's arms. "Let's go, let's go."

Soon, the four arrived at the mass grave. Upon arrival, they were stunned.

The four saw a chubby, adorable little monk sitting on a prayer mat with his eyes closed and hands clasped together. On the mat were a begging bowl and a cloth bag. The little monk's mouth was moving; it was unclear whether he was chanting sutras or talking in his sleep.
Little Dog Sheng: "..." Could this little monk be eighteen?

Dong Laoqi: "..." Is this little monk a human or a demon?
Doctor Chang: "..." This child is too fat, he needs a good acupuncture treatment.

Qian Chunhua: "..." This child is so smart, he can recite scriptures at such a young age.

After a while, the little monk opened his eyes and looked at the puppy and the others, asking in a childish voice, "Did you come to pick me up? My master said someone would come to pick me up today. My name is Eighteen, the Eighteenth of the Eighteenth Level of Hell."

Little Dog Sheng: My goodness, he really is eighteen.

Dong Laoqi: He thought the little girl couldn't ward off evil spirits anymore.

Doctor Chang: Pick it up! Pick it up and take it home to give it a good treatment.

Qian Chunhua: Good heavens, this place is a real treasure trove.
