How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 178 How could such a thing happen?

Zhang also wanted to kick the person out directly.

But, "Didn't your second and third sisters go to the poetry gathering today with the girls from the Jiang and Wei families?"

Little Dog Sheng knew about this. "Something happened at the poetry gathering?"

"Nothing happened at the poetry gathering. After the gathering, they went boating on the lake before they had had enough fun. As a result, they ran into the government arresting wanted criminals. The wanted criminals tried to steal a boat, and the boatman panicked and collided with a boat on the opposite side. The boat on the opposite side was carrying students from Nangong Academy."

"The boat capsized?"

"Ah."

"My second and third sisters can swim. They don't need anyone to save them."

“The wanted criminal saw the boat capsize and tried to take a hostage. Your third sister happened to fall right next to him. When your second sister saw him trying to grab her, she took off her shoe and threw it at him. You know, your second sister has a pretty good aim.”

"Then he got angry and started arresting my second sister?"

"Ah."

"And then someone came to the rescue?"

"Yes. A student from Nangong Academy saw that the wanted criminal was lunging at your second sister with a knife, so he pulled your second sister into the water. Just as they sank, the wanted criminal came over. Just as the wanted criminal was about to see where your second sister was, the student took his flute and stabbed him in the groin."

"The wanted criminal instantly curled up in pain."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Even scholars use this trick? "And then he grabbed my second sister and ran away?"

"Ah."

"And then they came to propose marriage?"

"Ah."

The little dog was a bit troubled. "Where is he from? Who's in his family?"

“His family is from the capital. His maternal grandfather was the headmaster of Nangong Academy.”

The little dog's eyes widened instantly. "The Dean of Nangong Academy?!"

Yeah. What's wrong?

"The position of the Dean of Nangong Academy among scholars is similar to that of Master Daoyi among monks."

"Wow?! His maternal grandfather is that amazing?"

"Hmm." Xiao Gousheng walked to the pavilion next to him and sat down. "It is said that his maternal grandfather came to the capital to open an academy just to take care of him. His mother passed away when he was three years old."

"His grandfather was really good to him."

"Hmm." Their family is already engaged to the Jiang family through marriage. If they agree to this marriage, their family will be comparable to the royal family. Doesn't the royal family only have one civil official and one military general?

If what happened today was an accident, their family must have saved the galaxy in their past life.

If not, who has the ability to set up such a scheme? Who dares to set up such a scheme?

"Did all the girls who participated in the poetry gathering go boating on the lake?"

"That's right. Your second sister said that most of the girls can't swim and were saved by the students of Nangong Academy. I wonder if those students went to propose marriage to those girls?"

"Are all the students on that ship outstanding students from Nangong Academy?"

"Yes. The matchmaker said they were both students in Class A, and that it would be good if your third sister couldn't swim."

Because there were too many people involved, the puppy couldn't figure things out for the time being. "Let's go."

"This marriage?"

The little dog didn't want to agree, but this was ancient times. "I had no choice but to agree."

"The Miao family?" Qian Xiaohua's former fiancé's surname was Miao.

"We can only offer them some compensation."

"How could this happen?"

"Really? How could something like this happen?"

Granny Tian was nearly driven mad with worry. As soon as she saw the little dog, Sheng, she asked, "Did your second aunt tell you?"

"I already said so. There's nothing we can do about it." The little dog replied to Granny Tian before looking at the matchmaker. "What's your surname, Auntie?"

"My surname is Hua."

"Hello, Aunt Hua, who invited you to my house to propose marriage?"

"Dean Nangong."

"Do Lord Xi and Madam Xi know?" Dean Nangong's grandson's surname is Xi, and his name is Huaizhou. Xi Huaizhou's father is also an official, but of low rank.

“I know. Madam Xi said that your second sister and Young Master Xi’s marriage was ordained by God.”

Whether it's ordained by God is still unknown. "Then I'm relieved. I was worried that Lord Xi and Madam Xi would look down on my second sister." How could that be? Madam Xi's eyes narrowed into slits with joy. "Lord Xi and Madam Xi are not snobbish."

"That's good. Well, since Young Master Xi saved my second sister, she should thank Lord Xi and Madam Xi in person. Don't you agree?"

"Correct."

"Then go and ask Lord Xi when he's free?"

"Okay. I'll go right away. What about the marriage?"

"Didn't Madam Xi say that this marriage was ordained by God?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The matchmaker covered her mouth with her handkerchief and chuckled several times. "I'll go and report back to the Xi family right away."

"Go ahead. Remember to tell Lord Xi that my second sister wants to thank him and his wife in person."

"I won't forget. Don't worry."

As soon as the matchmaker left, Granny Tian looked at Little Dog Sheng and said, "Madam Xi is the stepmother of Young Master Xi."

"I know."

"I'm afraid she'll make things difficult for your second sister."

"If she makes things difficult for my second sister, I'll have Consort Tao make things difficult for her."

"Well... we can't keep troubling Consort Tao."

"Then I'll think of another way."

"Alright." Granny Tian looked at her three daughters-in-law. "You all think about it too."

Zhao: "I'll go and scold her."

Zhang said, "If she makes things difficult for Xia Hua, I will spread the word."

Madam Xu: "I...I passed it on with my second sister-in-law."

……

On the other side, after the matchmaker relayed the Qian family's reply to Madam Xi, Madam Xi rewarded her with a silver ingot. "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's no trouble at all. By the way, Qian Gousheng said that the eldest young master saved her second sister, and her second sister needs to thank you and Lord Xi in person. When are you and Lord Xi available?"

"Tomorrow, then. The master will have the day off tomorrow."

After leaving the Xi family, the matchmaker went to the Qian family.

The next morning, after breakfast, Xiao Gousheng took Doctor Chang, Old Man Dong, and Qian Xiahua out.

Shi Ba was a little puzzled to see that Doctor Chang had also gone. "Mother, is someone in the Xi family sick?"

"I don't know. Why do you ask?"

"I think Gousheng took Uncle Chang away."

"Your Uncle Chang might be going out."

"Oh."

Meanwhile, Lord Xi was about to leave after finishing his meal. Madam Xi quickly told him that Gou Sheng and Xia Hua were coming.

Lord Xi wanted to say, "You can entertain them," but the Emperor kept sending gifts to the Qian family. "When are they coming?"

“I had the matchmaker tell them you’re quite busy and can’t keep waiting for them. They should be here soon.”

"That's fine."

In the blink of an eye, an hour had passed. Little Dog Sheng and Qian Xiahua still hadn't arrived.

Lord Xi was very displeased. "Didn't you tell them to come earlier?"

"Yes."

"Why haven't they arrived yet?"

"Well... I'll have someone go and ask."

Soon, the person who went to inquire returned. "Master, Madam, the Qian family said that Miss Qian the Second and Miss Qian the Fourth went out after breakfast."

Madam Xi: "Then why haven't they arrived yet?"

"I made some inquiries, and someone said that Miss Qian the Second and Miss Qian the Fourth have left the city."

Madam Xi was furious. "Why are they going out of the city? They wouldn't be thinking of giving wild vegetables as a gift, would they?"

Lord Xi suddenly remembered something. "Prepare the carriage! Quickly!"

*Facepalm* Thank you so much for correcting my mistake, sweetheart! You worked so hard! Wishing you all the best! Sending you love! (￥A￥) Congratulations on your fortune!
