How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 180 Gou Sheng Gets Beaten
When Xi Huaizhou grew up, his maternal grandfather told him that his mother must have been murdered. He always felt that his grandfather said that because he didn't want to accept the fact that his mother was dead.

just now……

With red eyes, Xi Huaizhou walked to his mother's coffin and touched her remains. "Father, what do you think? Should I tell my maternal grandfather?"

Lord Xi wanted to say no, that his maternal grandfather wouldn't be able to handle it if he found out. However, he was now in a very passive position. "Yes. I'll go with you. Miss Qian, could you let Doctor Chang come with us?"

"can."

The Emperor was playing chess with himself when the commander of the secret guards emerged from the shadows. "Your Majesty, Miss Qian and her men have dug up the remains of Lady Nangong."

Snapped!
The chess piece in the emperor's hand fell onto the chessboard. "What did you just say?"

The commander of the secret guards repeated himself.

The Emperor was somewhat troubled. Digging up a grave was no small matter; this girl was incredibly audacious. "Are there any problems with Nangong's remains?"

"Yes. The bones of the Nangong family are black."

The Emperor's lips curled into a smile. "Tell me, what did that little girl guess? Or does she think the Xi family, like the Tang family, harbors ill intentions?"

The commander of the secret guards thought that even if Miss Qian Si suspected the Xi family of having ill intentions, she wouldn't bother with a dead person. "I think Miss Qian Si must have guessed something?"

"I think so too. How much do you think she guessed?"

The commander of the secret guards thought for a moment. "She probably just guessed that Dean Nangong sent someone to help Young Master Xi propose marriage, not just because Young Master Xi saved her second cousin."

"Hmm. She never believes in free lunches. Besides, if she does nothing, her family will owe Young Master Xi something. Now that she's uncovered the cause of Nangong's death, Young Master Xi can no longer act like a benefactor. What will the Xi family's reaction be?"

"The Xi family is unaware yet. Miss Qian has detained all the members of the Xi family. Miss Qian, along with Young Master Xi, Lord Xi, and Madam Xi, went to Nangong Academy to find Dean Nangong."

"Send people to keep an eye on the Xi family, especially their servants."

"Yes. I will arrange it right away."

On the other side, Dean Nangong was reading the students' submitted papers when an old servant came in and told him that Xi Huaizhou and the others, along with Xiaogou Sheng, had arrived.

Dean Nangong was a little surprised. "How did they end up together?"

"This old servant doesn't know. It seems that the young master has been crying, and Master Xi and Madam Xi don't look too well either."

"Where is Miss Qian Si?"

"Miss Qian is quite normal."

"Let them in."

"Yes."

As soon as Lord Xi entered, he knelt at Dean Nangong's feet. "Father-in-law, I failed to take good care of Zishu. I am so sorry. Please punish me." Xi Huaizhou's mother called Nangong Zishu.

Upon hearing this, Dean Nangong looked over at Xiaogousheng.

Xiao Gou Sheng raised an eyebrow. Her second cousin's drowning was indeed no accident. "Dean Nangong, you should be asking Lord Xi why he knelt down? Why he said he didn't take good care of your daughter? Not looking at me. I'm just a bystander."

Dean Nangong quickly averted his gaze. "I was afraid you'd laugh at me. Why are you kneeling?"

Lord Xi said with a face full of guilt, "Zishu was poisoned to death. I failed to take good care of Zishu, and I am sorry."

Dean Nangong swayed. Although he had long suspected that his daughter had been murdered, he was still deeply distressed after confirming it. "How do you know that Shu'er was poisoned?"

"Miss Qian Si dug up Zishu."

"What?!" Dean Nangong could hardly believe his ears!

Little Dog Sheng repeated her fallacious reasoning.

Dean Nangong: "..." If he could be like Miss Qian Si, he wouldn't have wasted so many years. "Thank you."

"You're welcome. Grandpa Chang, please take a look at Dean Nangong. Dean Nangong, please take care of yourself; your grandson isn't married or has children yet." "I know, I will."

Doctor Chang took Dean Nangong's pulse and then inserted a few needles. "All done."

"Thank you."

Doctor Chang grunted in agreement and stood next to the little dog, Sheng.

Xiao Gou Sheng said to Dean Nangong, "Then we won't bother you any longer," and left with Doctor Chang and Old Man Dong.

Qian Xiahua couldn't come, so she went back first.

As soon as Dong Laoqi left the academy, he asked, "Do you think this matter can be investigated thoroughly?"

"Yes." The person who dared to knock so many noble ladies into the lake must not be an ordinary person.

As the little dog walked home, it wondered why that person had arranged for Young Master Xi to marry into her family.
I thought and thought but couldn't come up with a solution.

Her family used to be just ordinary farmers, with simple relationships. If something were to happen, wouldn't it be easy to figure it out with a little thought?
Now, their family not only has close ties with the Duke of Jin and the Duke of Wei, but has also become related by marriage with Consort Tao and Princess Qinghe.

Xiao Gousheng decided to send someone to keep an eye on Dean Nangong and Young Master Xi.

She now has her own subordinates.

Xiaogou Sheng thought that once he knew who that person was, he would be able to guess why he was plotting against their family.
As soon as Xiao Gou Sheng got home, she saw her grandma standing in the yard. Xiao Gou Sheng smiled at her grandma. "Grandma, I'm home."

Granny Tian smiled. "You're back? Come here, Grandma has something to ask you."

"Okay!" The little dog trotted over happily.

As soon as she approached, Granny Tian raised her hand and slapped her little bottom. "You naughty child! What have you been doing today? What have you been doing today?"

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Granny Tian would say something and hit her once, then say something and hit her again.

Little Dog Sheng: "..." She counted the Xi family, Dean Nangong, and the Emperor, but not her grandmother. "Grandma, I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again."

Snapped!
"Just knowing you were wrong isn't enough! This time, I'm going to teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

Snapped!
"Waaah..." Little Dog Sheng didn't want to get a beating. "Grandpa, help! Grandpa, help!"

Snapped!
"I sent your grandfather away a long time ago, and I'm going to give you a good beating today. You actually went and dug up someone else's grave! Do you even want to get married? You wretched child!"

Snapped!
"Waaaaah... Uncle, help me! Uncle, help me!"

When Shiba heard Xiaogou Sheng barking, he ran over. As soon as he got there, he saw Granny Tian beating Xiaogou Sheng.

Eighteen rubbed his eyes.

After confirming that she hadn't misread it, Shiba quickly squeezed between Xiaogousheng and Granny Tian. "Mom, calm down. My little niece is weak and can't take a beating."

The puppy, Sheng, said, "Mmm."

"Hmm what?" Granny Tian looked at Shiba and said, "Do you know what she did? She dug up the grave of Young Master Xi's birth mother."

Upon hearing this, Shi Ba immediately stepped back. "Mother, go ahead and hit her. If you don't, she'll fly to heaven."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." You're the one who's going to heaven, you little old-fashioned guy. "Uncle, I'm weak."

"It's alright, Uncle Chang is here. Uncle Chang is a miracle doctor."

Little Dog Sheng: "..."

I saw in the backend that someone had given a reward, but the name wasn't displayed.

Thank you for the generous donation, my darling! Wishing you a wonderful day! Sending you love! (*з)(ε｀*) *kiss*
Thank you so much for correcting my mistake, sweetheart! You worked so hard! Wishing you lots of smiles! (*з)(ε｀*) *kiss*
