How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 177 Why don't you kick them out?

Consort Tao rubbed her forehead. "You may all leave."

"Yes."

After the palace servants left, Princess Fukang was about to speak when Consort Tao glared at her. "You've become too arrogant because you've been living too comfortably. The Emperor has already fined you 30,000 taels of silver, and you still wouldn't stop, even trying to put pressure on the Emperor in court. Now look what's happened!"

"I...I...I..."

Consort Tao glared at Princess Fukang again. "What do you mean, 'you'? The Emperor is just too good to you, that's why you all dare to take advantage of him."

"I didn't, I'm just angry."

"What are you upset about? Are you upset that your daughter found a son-in-law who only cares about looks and not character?"

"..."

"You should thank Miss Dong. If it weren't for her, you would have married your daughter to a man who only cares about looks. Can a man who only cares about looks be as devoted to you as your husband? Besides, how much success can a man who only cares about looks achieve?"

Consort Tao first reprimanded Princess Fukang before bringing up her husband's matter. "The Emperor has already issued the decree, so I don't have any good ideas. If you really don't want your husband to go, then let your eldest son go. That way, your eldest son can gain a good reputation for filial piety, your husband won't have to suffer, and the Emperor will have a way out."

"This……"

Consort Tao rubbed her forehead. "If you don't want to, then forget it. I don't want to get involved in this either. Go back now, I need to start my Buddhist prayers."

“I…I’ll go back and discuss it with my husband.”

Consort Tao waved her hand impatiently.

Princess Fukang returned to her residence with a troubled expression.

Three days later, Princess Fukang's eldest son went to serve as the magistrate of a small county in southern Xinjiang in place of his father.

Princess Fukang's eldest daughter-in-law was so angry that she went back to her parents' home and cried.

Her husband was doing well in the capital, but her mother-in-law managed to send him to a remote, impoverished area.

Her mother wanted her to go with her husband, but her two children were still young. She couldn't take them with her husband to his new post, and she was also afraid that her mother-in-law would spoil them.

But if she doesn't go with him, they'll have to arrange for another woman to serve her husband. It would be troublesome if her husband brought her a concubine. Concubines can't be sold off so easily.

Because of this, Princess Fukang's eldest daughter-in-law also disliked her sister-in-law. If it weren't for her sister-in-law, her mother-in-law wouldn't have gone to cause trouble for Miss Dong. If she hadn't caused trouble for Miss Dong, her husband wouldn't have had to take over as county magistrate for his father.

Meanwhile, Princess Fukang's household was shrouded in gloom.

On the other side, the Duchess of Jin sent the eight servants whom the Duke of Jin had chosen for the Nineteenth Prince, along with their families and their indentures, to the Qian family.

Lady Jin looked at Granny Tian and smiled, "When Nineteen's grandfather passed away, he specifically instructed me to send the person and the indenture to you. Nineteen's grandfather said that they should serve you for now. If you think it's acceptable, then let them go with Chunhua to marry into the family. If you don't think it's acceptable, I will find you a few more families."

After the Emperor decreed that Qian Chunhua be the principal wife, the Duchess of Jin had many worries. One of them was that she feared Qian Chunhua would bring a group of people whose backgrounds she didn't know into the Duke of Jin's mansion.

Unexpectedly, the Qian family was even more cautious than they were.

The Qian family first listed all the betrothal gifts on the dowry list, and now they plan to select servants from their hereditary servants. No wonder the Duke had to ask the Emperor for permission. She now also felt that the Qian family's marriage proposal was a good one.

Granny Tian was a little nervous. "Well? The people you and Nineteen's grandfather chose are definitely fine."

"People get along well based on first impressions."

"It's pleasing to the eye, it's pleasing to the eye."

Seeing her reaction, the Duchess of Jin changed the subject. "What are your plans for renovating this house?"

"It's fixed."

"It's all fixed so quickly?" The Duchess of Jin was quite surprised. It's only been a few days! Granny Tian smiled and said, "We just cut down some trees and changed a few doors as Master Daoyi suggested. We couldn't bear to touch anything else."

So that's how it is? No wonder it was so fast. "So you didn't get help from the Minister of Works?"

“Yes, we did. We asked him to tell us which things needed to be removed, and he did. We removed everything he suggested.”

The Duchess of Jin held the Qian family in even higher regard. Wouldn't anyone else have taken the opportunity to profit at the Ministry of Works?
Lady Jin chatted with the women of the Qian family for a while before leaving happily.

The eight servants she sent over were not in a good mood.

The oldest woman gritted her teeth, took a step forward, looked at Granny Tian, ​​and asked, "Old lady, which master would you like us to serve?"

Granny Tian was taken aback. "Weren't you here to take care of my eldest granddaughter and my great-grandson?"

Now it was the woman's turn to be stunned. "Don't I need to serve others?"

"No need, no need," Granny Tian said, waving her hand. "Just take good care of my eldest granddaughter and great-grandson. Chunhua, you take them with you. You know how to arrange things, right?"

"I know." Granny Du had taught her.

"Let's go then."

"it is good."

After Qian Chunhua left with her people, Granny Tian immediately summoned all the men of the Qian family, including Qian Laifu and Shiba. "Among the families sent by the Jiang family, there are several young girls. Don't go near them. If you do, I'll break your legs."

Eighteen: "..." He was only eight years old. "Mother, can't I too?"

No. You're eight years old already.

Ok.

Those families were also worried that Qian Dashan and his family might have ulterior motives. However, they soon discovered that the men of the Qian family would avoid their daughters whenever they saw them.

When the Duchess of Jin learned of this, she held the Qian family in even higher regard.

After learning about this, Madam Jiang also felt that the Qian family was alright.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the day of Qian Chunhua and Jiang Ruiheng's wedding arrived.

The Jiang family happily married Qian Chunhua.

Many people wanted to see the Jiang family make a fool of themselves, but the Qian family not only returned all the betrothal gifts from the Jiang family, but also added an extra eight-bearer dowry. The eight-bearer dowry also included a small estate of two hundred acres.

Xiaozhuangzi was bought by Gousheng for his older cousin. Gousheng was already rich, and now he has a tavern that makes a fortune every day.

Originally, Jiang Ruiheng could only stay for another month.

However, neither the Duke of Jin nor the Duke of Wei were in the capital, so the Emperor allowed Jiang Ruiheng to stay for another two months.

The Duke of Jin and the Duke of Wei should return in two months.

After Qian Chunhua got married, Xiaogou Sheng waited for half a month. After confirming that Qian Chunhua was doing well in the Jiang family, Xiaogou Sheng prepared to go and do his duty for the Emperor.

Before she even left, her second cousin got into trouble.

As Xiao Gousheng was assigning tasks to his soldiers, Zhang's voice suddenly came over. "Gousheng, your grandma is looking for you."

"Oh," Gou Sheng responded and walked towards Zhang Shi.

Zhang waited until she came over before whispering, "Someone has come to propose marriage to your second sister."

Gou Sheng was stunned for a moment. "Wasn't my second sister already engaged? Why don't you kick her out?"
