How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 120 I can't afford to raise them, I don't want to.
The Duke of Jin's voice was already low, and with the door between them, the three little bald boys didn't hear a thing.

The three little bald boys shouted even louder when they saw that the Duke of Jin was not making a move.

Eighteen: "Lord Duke, wake up!"

Nineteen: "If you don't get up, we're going to sneak in and ambush you!"

20: "Ambush you!"

Just as the Duke of Jin was about to say, "You brat, how dare you lead men to ambush me! I'll show you how to make you flee in disarray!" he remembered that his eldest son was still in the Northern Di.

Outside, the three little bald boys, seeing that the Duke of Jin still hadn't come out, prepared to climb out the window.

Eighteen: "I'll go get a stool, let's sneak in through the window and ambush him."

Nineteen: "Okay. Is he really a general? Why is he sleeping so soundly?"

20: "Let's catch him and interrogate him properly."

Over here, the three little bald boys carried the stools over and then climbed onto them into the Duke of Jin's house.

On the other side, Qian Laifu heard the commotion and nudged Granny Tian. "Go out and do something about it."

Granny Tian still remembered that her little granddaughter disliked the Duke of Jin. "No way. Nineteen is his own grandson. Let his own grandson give him a good scolding."

Qian Laifu thought she was right. It's his own grandson; let him argue if he wants.

On the other side, Consort Tao also heard it. She didn't intend to interfere.

While laughing, Consort Tao thought to herself, "Didn't you want to go back and tempt Duke Wei? Then spend more time with Twenty."

The three little bald boys struggled to climb in through the window, but before they could even reach the bed, they were tied up by the Duke of Jin.

The three little bald boys: "..." Oh no! We've been tricked!
Eighteen: "Lord Duke, we've come to invite you to eat meat buns."

Nineteen: "Meat buns taste best when they're fresh out of the steamer."

20: "I can eat three in one go."

Duke Jin glanced at Nineteen a couple more times. However, he didn't think much of it for no reason.

The Duke of Jin circled the three bald boys twice. "Do you know what you did wrong?"

18. "The enemy situation was not fully understood."

Nineteen: "We are too small."

20: "We shouldn't doubt you. You're so clever, pretending to be asleep to fool us."

Upon hearing what the Twentieth said, the Duke of Jin thought the Twentieth was more astute than the Duke of Wei. The Duke of Wei, in his youth, certainly wouldn't have used flattery to beg for forgiveness. "Hahahaha..."

The Duke of Jin laughed as he untied the three little bald boys.

The three little bald boys breathed a sigh of relief.

When Granny Tian got up, she saw three little bald heads circling around the Duke of Jin.

Eighteen: "Uncle Jiang, let me bring you some water to wash your face."

Nineteen: "Uncle Jiang, let me get you a face towel."

20: "Uncle Jiang, let me get you some soap."

Granny Tian: "..." Why are these three brats so useless?

While washing his face, the Duke of Jin said, "You should call me Grandpa."

Eighteen: "No, no, no, you're younger than my father, I can't call you grandpa."

Nineteen: "Hmm. You're even younger than my older brother."

20: "Yes."

What was the Duke of Jin thinking? You are not Qian Laifu's son at all.

The puppy, Sheng, also got up.

The little dog looked at the three bald boys and said with a grin, "Why call him uncle? Call him brother. Didn't you say he's younger than your eldest brother?"

Yes!

The three little bald boys looked at the Duke of Jin and shouted in unison, "Brother Jiang!"

Duke of Jin: "..." What had he done to offend this little girl?
Qian Laifu: Isn't this inappropriate?

Granny Tian: I'll teach you a lesson for your big mouth.

Tao Taifei: Hahahaha... The puppy Sheng is so cute.

Consort Tao came out of the house as quickly as possible. "Yes, call him brother."

Duke of Jin: "..." Oh no, the Empress Dowager will definitely tell the Emperor that she's been chasing after him for twenty days, calling him Brother Jiang. To avoid being laughed at by the Emperor and Duke of Wei, Duke of Jin looked at Master Daoyi. "Master?" You should control your three little disciples.

Master Daoyi looked at the little dog Sheng and then at Consort Tao. One was a woman, and the other was a young woman. "Amitabha, this is just a form of address, please don't take it to heart."

Duke of Jin: How can I not care?

Consort Tao: "That's right. Eighteen, nineteen, twenty, from now on, he'll be called Brother Jiang."

"Alright! Brother Jiang!"

Brother Jiang was extremely upset. He should have known better than to let them call him Grandpa; now they've become Brother directly.

Duke Jin placed his last hope on Qian Laifu.

Qian Laifu: Don't look at me, it won't do you any good. "Um? You are indeed younger than my eldest son."

Duke of Jin: Is this a matter of age?
Consort Tao: "Hahahaha... Eighteen, nineteen, twenty, let's take your Brother Jiang to eat. Your Brother Jiang must be hungry."

"okay!"

The three bald boys pulled Duke Jin towards the dining hall.

Eighteen: "Brother Jiang, Aunt Pang's meat buns are so delicious."

Nineteen: "Brother Jiang, eat a few more."

Twenty: "Brother Jiang, what else would you like to eat? I'll ask Aunt Pang to make it for you. Aunt Pang loves me so much."

I want you to call me Grandpa Jiang.

Duke Jin originally intended to stay at the Qian family's house for a few more days, but ended up hearing Twenty call him Brother Jiang every day.

The Duke of Jin stayed for three days before leaving.

Granny Tian patted her chest, thinking: "Finally, he's gone." Although her granddaughter said the Duke of Jin wouldn't recognize her, what if he did?
Qian Laifu also breathed a sigh of relief.

The puppy's frustration dissipated.

Here, life has returned to normal.

Meanwhile, the Duke of Jin was sightseeing and heading towards the capital, wondering what he had done to offend Xiao Gousheng.

The Duke of Jin was chatting with his personal guards when he suddenly heard someone calling his name.

The Duke of Jin looked in the direction of the voice. After recognizing who it was, he laughed. "Where are you going, kid?"

Feng Erzhu used to be a soldier under the Duke of Jin, but later, as he got older, the Duke of Jin put him in a government office. "Your Excellency, I need to go to Qianjia Village. The Emperor has bestowed the Jiang Shenglin family upon Miss Qian, and I'm escorting them there."

Qianjia Village? Miss Qian? Jiang Shenglin?
"Is the girl you're talking about named Gousheng?"

"Yes. You know Miss Qian?"

More than just knowing.

Now he finally understood why that little girl made Twenty call him brother.
The emperor wouldn't bestow favors on people like Jiang Shenglin so easily, and he had stayed at the Qian family's house for several days without seeing Dong Laoqi.

Old Master Dong was probably recruited into the Emperor's secret guard.

The Emperor really knows how to pick people.

The Duke of Jin touched his nose. "Call Jiang Shenglin and his family over. I have a few words to say to them."

"Yes."

A little while later, Feng Erzhu called Jiang Shenglin and his family over.

The Duke of Jin reprimanded them for a long time with a stern face. The main point was simple: do their job well, or they would be in big trouble if they dared not treat Xiao Gou Sheng as their master.

Jiang Erda and Old Lady Wei, who had other worries, quieted down afterward.

Jiang Shenglin repeatedly assured them that they would definitely take good care of Xiaogou Sheng.

"Hmm. Remember to tell Miss Qian that you've met me." He hoped that the little girl would find him more agreeable next time she saw him. He was clearly of the grandfather's generation, yet that little girl had made him sound like a peer.

"Yes, I will definitely tell Miss Qian."

"Yes, let's set off."

"Yes."

Ten days later, Jiang Shenglin and his family arrived at Qianjia Village.

Feng Erzhu told Xiaogou Sheng that the Jiang Shenglin family was a gift from the Emperor, which Xiaogou Sheng really didn't want. She had clearly asked the Emperor to give her a beautiful woman in return, so why was he giving her a bunch of old people, women, and children?

The little dog silently cursed the emperor. "I can't afford to keep them. Why don't you take them back?"
