How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 174 The Favoritistic Prodigal Son
Qian Chunhua was tidying up the house with Granny Tian and the others when Shiba's voice came from outside. "Eldest niece, come out for a moment."

"Coming," Qian Chunhua said as she came out of the house. "Uncle, are you thirsty... thirsty?"

Before she could finish speaking, Qian Chunhua saw Jiang Ruiheng.

Qian Chunhua was so nervous that she stammered, "Young...Young Master, hello."

Jiang Ruiheng realized once again that his wife and his sister-in-law didn't grow up in the same family. "Hello. Uncle, could you take Nineteen and Twenty to play over there for a while? As long as you can see us, it's not like we're meeting in private."

"Okay. My dear niece, don't be afraid of him. If he bullies you, just tell me, and I'll have Brother Jiang beat him up."

Jiang Ruiheng: "..." He not only has a formidable sister-in-law, but also a troublesome uncle.

Nineteen: "I can also get my great-grandmother to beat him up. My great-grandmother adores me."

Jiang Ruiheng: Add another biased, wicked son.

Twenty thought for a moment and said, "I'll ask my master to persuade him to do good."

Jiang Ruiheng: Let's add a nephew who likes to use grand principles to intimidate people.

Qian Chunhua was initially very nervous, but their words made her burst into laughter. "I know, you guys go play over there. I'll make you some honey water in a bit."

"it is good."

As soon as the three little bald boys left, Jiang Ruiheng whispered, "Don't worry, I won't bully you."

Qian Chunhua was quite pleased to hear that. "What do you need me for?"

"Don't you feel awkward calling your 18th Uncle?"

Just for this? "You'll get used to it."

"Can we not call it that?"

"No." Qian Chunhua's answer was straightforward.

Okay. "Dogs said you can make hemostatic pills?"

"Hmm. Do you want some? I can make you something."

"Yes." Jiang Ruiheng took out a silver note from his pocket. "Take this to buy medicinal herbs."

Qian Chunhua was embarrassed to accept it. "No, no, your family property is now...it's all become my dowry."

Jiang Ruiheng thought about it and agreed. "Then I won't give it to you."

"No need to give me any. Do you need money? If you do, I can get you some."

"No need. Just take good care of Nineteen. By the way, what kind of pills can you make?"

"I can make almost all the over-the-counter medicines for external injuries."

"Are they all related to Chang Shen's medicine?"

"Okay. I'll make you something."

"Okay." Jiang Ruiheng was increasingly pleased with Qian Chunhua. "Besides working with Chang Shen on medicine and pharmaceuticals, what else do you do?"

"She also learned housekeeping from Consort Tao."

"Aren't you tired of learning so much?"

"I'm tired. But I can't let you and Nineteen down."

Jiang Ruiheng wanted to touch Qian Chunhua's face. However, there were three little bald boys beside her. "Don't overwork yourself. Even if you make a mistake, they won't dare to laugh at you to your face."

"I know, I'll be careful, don't worry."

"Hmm. Can't I really not call him 'Uncle'?"

"No. Shiba cares about this. If you don't call him 'Uncle,' he'll give you a stern look and ask why you don't respect your elders."

"Alright. By the way, do you know why the Emperor gave your little cousin so many elite soldiers?"

Qian Chunhua wasn't sure if she could say this. "You should ask Gousheng instead."

His wife is quite discreet. "Okay. From now on, we can't just tell other people about our family matters."

Qian Chunhua was worried he would be unhappy. Unexpectedly, not only was he not unhappy, but he also acknowledged her as family. "Okay."

"Then I'll go ask Gousheng."

"Okay." Jiang Ruiheng walked over to the three little bald boys and patted the heads of Nineteen and Twenty. "Uncle, I'm going to find your little niece. Do you want to play here or come with me?"

"I'll go with you. You're still a foreign man."

Jiang Ruiheng: What's wrong? Even at nineteen, he'll be considered a wicked son. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Uncle."

After hearing Jiang Ruiheng's question, Xiaogou Sheng briefly recounted what had happened. "Do you have anyone you need me to take care of? If so, give me a list."

"Yes." Whether it's suppressing bandits or fighting a war, there will be casualties. "Thank you."

"Don't be so polite. We're all family."

"My uncle said I'm still considered an outsider."

The little dog laughed as soon as he heard that. "He's still young now, he won't be so old-fashioned when he grows up."

"Are you sure?" Jiang Ruiheng asked doubtfully.

“I’m sure.” Neither she nor Master Daoyi are old-fashioned people, and Shiba certainly won’t grow up to be an old-fashioned person from childhood.

Jiang Ruiheng looked around. "Everyone outside is saying you're only getting ahead because of your great-aunt?"

"We benefited a lot from my great-aunt's influence." If it weren't for Uncle Dong, how could she have so easily rescued her eldest cousin from under the nose of Jiang Yuxin's maid?
Jiang Ruiheng: "...You're quite honest."

The little dog smiled. "How much longer can you stay in the capital?"

"Two months."

So you're saying you have to leave after only a month of marriage?

"Hmm. You can also have your older cousin marry me earlier."

"It's not that easy. The date you and my eldest cousin got married was calculated by my grandmaster based on the birth dates of your family of three and both sets of parents."

Jiang Ruiheng hadn't expected it to be so troublesome. "Then let's stick to the original schedule. Can your great-aunt control those people?"

"Of course! My great-aunt is very capable."

"Okay. You go ahead and do your thing, I'm going to play with Nineteen for a while." That brat's heart is too biased, I have to pull him to his side.

The little dog was quite happy to see him offer to go play with Nineteen. "Go ahead. Nineteen likes chasing horses."

Jiang Ruiheng laughed upon hearing this. "I also liked chasing horses when I was a child."

"...You two are truly father and son."

"Hahahaha..." Jiang Ruiheng laughed as he walked towards the three bald boys. "What are you guys playing? How about I take you horseback riding?"

"Okay." The three little bald boys immediately followed Jiang Ruiheng.

Children all wish for a tall and strong father. When Jiang Ruiheng left, Nineteen was noticeably closer to him than before.

Jiang Ruiheng breathed a sigh of relief.

Over here, Xiaogou Sheng's family and the elite soldiers Xiaogou Sheng had just acquired were busy as bees.

On the other side, just as the Emperor was about to say, "Do any of you ministers have anything else? If not, the court may adjourn," an old censor stepped forward shakily from the crowd. "Your Majesty, I wish to impeach Qian Gousheng."

The Emperor frowned. "Say your full name."

"Your Majesty, I am referring to Daming."

"When did I ever appoint an official named Gousheng? I don't recall ever doing that."

“Your Majesty, she is not an official.”

"Why are you impeaching someone who isn't an official... Wait, you're not going to impeach the sister-in-law of the Duke of Jin's heir, are you?"

"Your Majesty, it is she I am impeaching."

The Emperor's face darkened instantly. "She's not an official, why are you impeaching her?"

"Your Majesty, she is bewitching you through the beauties she keeps."

You're kidding me!

The Emperor suppressed his anger. "What do you want me to do?"

Thank you so much for the generous donation, Dongshan Laoyao! May you have boundless magical powers! Sending you love! (=^▽^=)
