How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 159 A Good Reputation and a Bad Reputation: He Could Actually See Us
The Duke of Wei didn't understand. "Old Jiang, what does she mean?"

"So you mean you can't even beat Gou Sheng and you want to force yourself on him?"

"It's not that I can't beat Gousheng, it's that I didn't expect Gousheng to make a move. Wait, you mean she's also Doctor Chang's apprentice?"

"Ah."

"You really can't use force then. There aren't many people as powerful and influential as me."

Old Dong shook the beautiful fan in his hand. "Either you give me your life, or you stay out of here."

"Why are you so slow to understand?"

"Even if I finally see the light, I still won't be interested in you. You old geezer. Gousheng, get out of here."

"Alright." Gou Sheng made a face at Duke Wei before following Dong Laoqi.

Duke Wei completely ignored Xiao Gousheng. "Girl, don't go."

Qian Laifu also stood up. "You guys talk, you guys talk."

In the blink of an eye, only the Duke of Wei and the Duke of Jin remained in the hall.

The Duke of Jin glared at the Duke of Wei with disdain. "Is there anything else? If not, get out of here."

"Yes. I'd like to come and stay at your place too."

"roll!"

On the other hand, as soon as Kang Junwen returned home after leaving the yamen, he asked where Princess Qinghe was.

Princess Qinghe was pondering which young man was worthy of her daughter when she suddenly saw her husband approaching her with a dark expression. Princess Qinghe was taken aback. "Who are you giving me that look for?"

"You all get down."

The servants looked towards Princess Qinghe.

Princess Qinghe nodded.

After the servants left, Princess Qinghe was about to get angry when Kang Junwen said with a dark face, "Do you think you're smarter or your mother is smarter?"

"Isn't that obvious? Of course it's my mother, the Empress Dowager."

"Then let me ask you again, does Mother Consort truly love Yueyue, or is she just pretending?"

"Of course it really hurts. Why are you talking nonsense?"

"Then why did you want to break off the engagement? Yueyue's marriage was arranged by Mother."

“I am... your parents want to break off the engagement.”

Kang Junwen stared into Princess Qinghe's eyes and said, "If you don't agree, will my parents send someone to the Duke of Jin's mansion to find Old Master Qian?"

"We...we also feel sorry for Yueyue."

"What's there to feel sorry for? If you feel sorry for Yueyue, does that mean she can do whatever she wants?"

"..."

Kang Junwen first reprimanded Princess Qinghe, then went to tell his parents that he had his sights set on the Qian family. If they didn't want to see Qian Laifu, he would go to the Duke of Jin's mansion to visit Qian Laifu himself. In short, this marriage arrangement would not change.

Seeing his resolute attitude, Madam Kang and Old Master Kang had no choice but to send someone to tell Qian Laifu that they had returned and welcomed him to visit the Kang family.

Upon receiving the news, Qian Laifu took Shiba, Qian Daniu, and Xiaogou Sheng with him. They brought a carload of local specialties they had bought along the way.

Since they were destined to become in-laws, the Kang family didn't give the Qian family a hard time, though they weren't particularly enthusiastic either.

After visiting the Kang family, Dong Laoqi and Xiao Gousheng got busy preparing their tavern. Even before the tavern opened, Dong Laoqi's good reputation had spread. At the same time, her fearsome reputation also spread.

Because there are people like the Duke of Wei who are willing to use force.

Old Dong beat them up one by one. After beating them, he planned to throw them into the capital and report them to the Prefect of Jingzhao for harassing respectable women.

Everyone knows that Dong Laoqi lives in the Duke of Jin's mansion.

People who know the truth but still dare to act recklessly are not ordinary people.

The Prefect of the Capital was having a terrible headache.

The Duke of Wei and the Duke of Jin asked Master Daoyi to select two auspicious days to quietly reclaim the nineteenth and twentieth.

Of course, everyone who was supposed to be there was there. They just didn't invite any outsiders.

After the nineteenth and twentieth children recognized their ancestors and returned to their ancestral home, Master Daoyi went back to Longhua Temple. The three little bald boys went with them and stayed for a few days, but they couldn't stay any longer. There was no meat to eat at Longhua Temple.

Master Daoyi knew they couldn't possibly inherit his mantle, so he sent them back once they had become familiar with the other masters at Longhua Temple.

Master Daoyi was drinking tea under a tree when Dong Laoqi and Xiaogou Sheng walked in through the door with three little bald boys.

The three bald boys, like three little calves, ran towards Master Daoyi. "Master, we missed you so much."

Master Daoyi teased them, "If you miss your master, stay here with him."

The three bald boys stopped in their tracks. "Master, why don't you come with us to stay at the Duke of Jin's mansion?" "Hahahaha...you three wicked disciples who can't live without meat."

"hey-hey……"

Eighteen: "Master, how long do you plan to stay here?"

"This is Master's home."

Okay. "Master, we'll come to see you every day."

"No need. You should study diligently with the Duke of Jin and the civil and military tutors he has found for you. Your master will visit the Duke of Jin's residence every few days."

Eighteen: "Okay." They're quite busy right now. "Master, could you please calculate an auspicious day for my aunt and niece? Their tavern is opening soon."

Master Daoyi glanced at the little dog, Sheng. Every day this little girl opens her business is an auspicious day. "Alright."

"Thank you, Master."

After Master Daoyi finished his calculations, the little dog and its companions stayed at Longhua Temple for more than an hour before leaving.

As they were leaving, Master Daoyi teased the three bald boys. "Have a meal with your master before you go."

The three bald boys turned and ran.

Eighteen: "Master, remember to come and see us."

Nineteen: "Master, we are still growing."

Twenty: "Master, we won't eat grass with you."

"You wicked disciple, come back."

"Hehe... Master, we'll miss you, and you should miss us too."

As the puppy chased after the three bald boys, it said, "Grandmaster, why don't you also return to secular life?"

"You little rascal, aren't you afraid Buddha will hear you?"

"hey-hey……"

In the blink of an eye, the little dog Sheng also disappeared.

Master Daoyi shook his head. "You should go after them too."

"Okay." Old Dong tapped his toes lightly and darted off.

Little Dog Sheng and the three bald boys ran for a while before stopping to wait for Dong Laoqi. After Dong Laoqi caught up, the five of them happily went down the mountain.

After descending the mountain, before the group of dogs even reached the carriage, they saw a group of imposing soldiers riding horses towards them.

Xiao Gou Sheng and Dong Lao Qi quickly pulled the three bald boys to the side of the road.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers stopped right next to them.

The lead soldier jumped off his horse and walked straight towards them. "Nineteen, I am your father."

Nineteen: "Grandpa, he can actually see us."

20: "Grandpa, is there something wrong with his eyes?"

Eighteen: "Most likely."

Jiang Ruiheng: "..." What is this? If he had eyesight problems, would he recognize that the little bald guy in the middle as his son? "Aren't you nineteen?"

Nineteen: "Yes."

"Then how can you say I have an eye disease?"

The three little bald boys said in unison, "Because you didn't see my aunt/great-aunt."

"Where is your great-aunt?"

The three little bald heads raised their little hands and pointed at Old Man Dong.

Jiang Ruiheng followed their gaze. "She's your great-aunt? I see her."

The three little bald boys didn't believe it.

Eighteen: "Then how come you can still see us?"

Nineteen: "Don't try to fool us just because we're young."

20: "It is immoral to lie to children."

Jiang Rui: "..." What is all this? "Are you Gou Sheng? What do they mean by that?"

The little dog pointed behind him.

Jiang Ruiheng turned around and immediately understood. "Haven't you ever seen a woman before? Close your jaws!"
