How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 138 The Laughter Was Eerie
Lord Shen was taken aback by Luo Shi'an's reply. "Are you sure that letter was written by the Duke of Jin?"

"Confirmed. I have seen the Duke of Jin's handwriting. The Duke of Jin wrote 'Remember this' three times in a row."

Who is it that the Duke of Jin is so wary of? "Who is the new wife of the Duke of Jin's heir?"

After Luo Shi'an finished speaking, Lord Shen could hardly believe his ears. "The heir of the Duke of Jin must be joking, right?"

"He said that his marriage to Miss Qian was arranged by the Emperor, who also issued an imperial edict to bestow the marriage upon them."

That must be true.

But how could it be true?
His daughter marrying the heir apparent of the Duke of Jin was considered a high social climb.

Lord Shen thought of a possibility: that Miss Qian might be the Emperor's daughter.

Upon realizing this possibility, Lord Shen quickly abandoned his idea of ​​having Jiang Ruiheng sacrifice himself for the integration of the two races.

As for why it is only possible to take a concubine if the sister-in-law agrees?
Lord Shen thought that it was because the Duke of Jin and the Emperor wanted to divert everyone's attention so that they would not discover that the Duke of Jin's heir's wife was the Emperor's daughter.

Lord Shen felt he had hit the nail on the head. "Since that's the case, then forget it. I can't exactly go find a little maid and get her to agree to her brother-in-law taking a concubine, can I?"

Luo Shi'an hadn't been in officialdom for long and didn't think as much as Lord Shen. "My lord, you and the heir of the Duke of Jin are one a scholar and the other a warrior. If you both took a Di woman as a concubine, the Di people would trust us more and feel a stronger sense of belonging."

Lord Shen knew this too, but he still wanted to remain an official and rise higher. "How could a little child understand these things? Alright, go and get back to work."

"Yes. I'll take my leave."

Jiang Ruiheng wanted to see how Xiaogou Sheng would refuse Lord Shen, but Luo Shi'an told him that Lord Shen didn't need him to offer himself.

Jiang Ruiheng was somewhat disappointed. "Lord Shen gave up so easily?"

"Lord Shen thinks that even if he were talking to your sister-in-law, she wouldn't understand."

Jiang Ruiheng wanted to say that she understood. But who would want to cause trouble for themselves? "I need to deliver something to my sister-in-law."

"You should send them something; they've solved a problem for you without even meeting you."

"Yes." But he was more interested in seeing just how capable his sister-in-law was.

If you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Turning around, Jiang Ruiheng sent someone to buy a gift.

In the dog's group, there was a princess and two noble ladies.

Before they even got back, Jiang Ruiheng's gift arrived.

The Qian family: This son-in-law is quite good.

The puppy wandered on the road for more than a month before finally arriving.

Because of the princess, the village chief and clan leader of Qianjia Village led the entire village to wait at the village entrance early in the morning.

As soon as the puppy got out of the car, she saw three little bald heads. The puppy bared her little white teeth at Nineteen and Twenty. Soon, she would be able to roll over.

Nineteen and Twenty moved closer to Eighteen.

Nineteen: "My little niece's expression is terrifying."

20: "Did my little niece pick up something outside? Mother says there are many demons and monsters outside."

Eighteen also felt that his little niece was acting strangely. "Let's go find Master."

Master Daoyi and Physician Chang did not go to greet Princess Qinghe.

The two were playing chess in the courtyard when three little bald boys rushed in.

Eighteen: "Master, my little niece is possessed by an evil spirit."

Nineteen, twenty: "Mmm."

Master Daoyi laughed upon hearing this. Even if everyone in the world were possessed, this little girl wouldn't be. "Why do you say your little niece is possessed?"

The three bald boys said in unison, "Our little niece smiled at us as soon as she got out of the car." Doctor Chang replied, "What's wrong with smiling? Do you want your little niece to cry as soon as she gets out of the car?"

"No, no, no! This is how my little niece laughs." The three little bald boys showed them how the puppy Sheng laughs.

Doctor Chang: "No, that's not right. It looks like a stroke."

Master Daoyi: "Hahahaha..." That little girl must be eager to become an aunt soon, that's why she's laughing so scary.

The three bald boys and Doctor Chang all looked at Master Dao Yi. (Meaning: What are you laughing at?)
Seeing their reaction, Master Daoyi almost laughed even harder. "Why don't you take your Uncle Chang to see if your little niece has had a stroke?" I laughed for a while longer. "Master, go get some things for exorcising evil spirits."

After saying that, Master Daoyi quickly left.

Although the three bald boys felt that Master Daoyi's reaction was a bit strange, they did as he said out of trust in their master.

On the other side, just as Xiao Gousheng was about to take Kong Luoyi, the wife of the Duke of Wei, to talk to Twenty, he saw the three little bald heads turn around and run away.

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Why are you running? Could it be that Nineteen and Twenty already know that they're going to become uncles and nephews?
Kong Luoyi: "Why did they run away? Does Twenty not want to acknowledge us?"

It's possible. "Don't rush, take your time."

The little dog, Sheng, comforted Kong Luoyi and then pulled Qian Chunhua to find Granny Tian. "Grandma, we're back."

Grandma Tian happily hugged her two granddaughters. Just as she was about to check if they had lost weight, the three little bald boys dragged Doctor Chang over.

As soon as Doctor Chang arrived, he grabbed Xiaogou Sheng's hand and took Xiaogou Sheng's pulse.

The puppy didn't think much of it.

As a result, after taking the pulse, Doctor Chang started pinching Xiaogou Sheng's face again.

Now, the little dog Sheng realized something was wrong. "Grandpa Chang, why are you pinching my face?"

"Eighteen, they said your smile is weird and creepy. Let me check if you've had a stroke?"

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Where is she creepy? She's smiling sweetly. "Grandpa Chang, I'm fine, I was just teasing them."

Doctor Chang was relieved. "No wonder I couldn't find anything."

The three little bald boys were relieved.

Eighteen: "Phew...you scared us to death, little niece, you're so naughty."

Nineteen: "Phew... Little niece, if you keep doing this, Uncle is going to spank your little bottom."

Twenty: "Phew... Little niece, if you keep doing this, Uncle won't give you any more candy."

The puppy gritted its teeth. "Let you be the elders for a little while longer." "Okay, I understand. That lady is our guest, and I don't have time to entertain her right now. Could you please entertain her for me?"

"Okay." The three little bald boys ran up to Kong Luoyi. "Greetings, benefactor."

Kong Luoyi looked excitedly at Twenty. "Good, good, good."

The three little bald boys: "..." This guy is acting weird. Is he just messing with them?

Meanwhile, Granny Tian whispered to her two granddaughters that Jiang Ruiheng had sent two cartloads of gifts. "It seems he's willing to marry your eldest sister too."

Qian Chunhua lowered her head shyly. "He probably wanted to give it to Nineteen, but was too embarrassed to give it to only Nineteen."

Xiaogou Sheng had never dealt with Jiang Ruiheng before and didn't know who he was.

However, regardless of who he is, since he sent two truckloads of gifts, he should be able to get along peacefully with her older cousin and shouldn't deliberately embarrass her. "Have we returned the favor?"

“I’m back. Your grandfather asked Master Daoyi for two amulets and Doctor Chang for two bottles of medicine. I picked out two items from the gifts the Empress Dowager gave our family, and then loaded a cart with the grain we grew ourselves and another cart with the mountain produce we gathered.”

"I wonder if your brother-in-law will find the grain and mountain produce too shabby when he receives them?"
