How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 182 This marriage might not be so easy to back out of.
After seeing Jiang Ruiheng off, the elders of the Xi family began to complain.

A: "Dean Nangong definitely won't need Qian Gousheng to pay for it."

B: "Not only will they not use it, they might even send another generous gift."

C: "If the person in charge of hard labor knew that Qian Laosan's nephew-in-law was the heir of the Duke of Jin, he certainly wouldn't have assigned him any heavy work."

Ding: "This is outrageous!"

E: "So, should we still sue or not?"

The room fell silent instantly.

After a long while, the clan chief sighed. "Everyone, disperse."

On the other side, Jiang Ruiheng went to Nangong Academy after leaving the Xi family.

When Dean Nangong heard the Emperor ask him to decide where to bury his daughter, he knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of the palace.

On the other side, Xiaogousheng and Qian Laifu were playing chess happily when Granny Tian suddenly walked in from outside with Xiaogousheng's parents, Qian Dahe and Xu Qiaoniang.

Qian Dahe and Xu Qiaoniang were carrying quite a few things.

Little Dog Sheng quickly smiled ingratiatingly at Granny Tian. "Grandma, are you going out?"

Granny Tian glared at the little dog, Sheng. "It's all because of you, you troublesome child."

After glaring at the little dog Sheng, Granny Tian glared at Qian Laifu. "Still in the mood to play? Aren't you coming with me to the Xi family to apologize?"

"Oh? Oh. We should apologize to them. Let's go."

The puppy regretted it again and realized it should have come up with another solution.

As soon as Granny Tian and the others left, Xiao Gousheng called Guo Dazhuang over. "My grandparents took my parents to apologize to the Xi family. Go and keep an eye on things."

"Row."

After Guo Dazhuang finished speaking, he hurried off to catch up with Granny Tian and the others.

When Granny Tian saw Guo Dazhuang arrive, she asked, "Did Gousheng send you?"

"No, it's just that I think you need a servant." Grandma Tian was still angry with Gousheng. If he said that Gousheng had sent him, Grandma Tian would probably send him back.

Qian Laifu: "Yes, yes, we're short of a servant."

Granny Tian glared at Qian Laifu. "Alright then."

The Xi family elders had just come out of the council hall when the gatekeeper arrived. "Clan leader, Old Master Qian, Old Madam Qian, and the parents of Fourth Miss Qian have come to apologize."

Upon hearing this, one of the clan elders said, "They haven't come to apologize; they've clearly come to laugh at us."

The clan chief didn't want to see Granny Tian and her group either. But, "Even the Emperor has intervened, can we really just drive them away?"

No one else spoke.

The clan chief looked at Lord Xi's father, who was also a clan elder. "This is a matter for your branch of the family; go and receive them."

"Okay. I'm sorry for the trouble."

“A little trouble is nothing, but if the Nangong family’s affairs are related to your son, then I will have no choice but to expel your son from the clan.”

"Alright." Lord Xi's father felt that so many years had passed, even if his son, Dean Nangong, couldn't find any evidence. It wasn't like Dean Nangong hadn't tried.

When Lord Xi's father arrived, the steward introduced the two families.

After Qian Laifu found out who he was, he began to apologize to him.

Lord Xi's father glanced at Qian Laifu. "Since you've come to apologize, why didn't you bring Qian Gousheng with you?"

"She was beaten so badly by her grandmother that she couldn't get out of bed."

"Hmph!" Lord Xi's father snorted coldly.

Qian Laifu: "..." You still have the nerve to snort? My granddaughter was wrong, but your family isn't any better. "We've prepared some apologies, please don't mind."

"My family doesn't need your things." If it weren't for that brat, their family wouldn't have been so humiliated. "I know your family doesn't need these things. But we can't just come empty-handed. Well, we won't bother you any longer." What a bunch of idiots, poisoning someone's daughter and still having the nerve to act all high and mighty.

Qian Laifu looked down on the Xi family from the bottom of his heart. "Well, let's just forget about my second granddaughter and your eldest grandson's affair."

Lord Xi's father also no longer wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Qian family. "Alright. Take care, don't bother seeing me off."

Who cares if you give it to me? You murderer. "Old woman, let's go."

Granny Tian: "..." This old man! They came to apologize, not to argue. But the Xi family is really no good. "Master Xi, I'm sorry, I'll go back and give her another beating."

Lord Xi's father turned his face to the other side. "Hmph!"

Qian Laifu: Hmph my ass! "Let's go."

After leaving the Xi family's house, Granny Tian began to worry. "What will happen to Xia Hua in the future?"

Qian Laifu was also worried. "Xia Hua can't marry into a family like this, no matter what. Look at his behavior just now? Doesn't he feel sorry for his ex-daughter-in-law at all? Gou Sheng is wrong, but they can't be completely without remorse either."

"That's right. Why are all our granddaughters' marriages going so badly? Chunhua almost lost her life, and now Xiahua is like this?"

"Who says otherwise? Fortunately, our family can afford to raise summer flowers for a lifetime."

Granny Tian glared at Qian Laifu. "Stop cursing my granddaughter. She'll definitely find a good family."

"Good, good, good, our granddaughter will definitely find a good family."

As soon as Qian Laifu got home, he came to find Gousheng. "Gousheng, I've called off the engagement with the Xi family."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." This marriage might not be so easy to back out of. "Has the Xi family made things difficult for you?"

“No. But,” Qian Laifu recounted what had just happened, “that old geezer is the head of the family. If the head of the family has a bad heart, the family can't possibly be good. Wasn't that girl from the Nan family poisoned to death?”

"The Nangong family."

"Yes, the Nangong family. This is the first time I've heard of someone with this surname. At first, I thought his surname was Nan. Do you still want to play chess?"

"think."

"Then let's continue."

"it is good."

They had only played two rounds when Jiang Ruiheng arrived.

After greeting Qian Laifu, Jiang Ruiheng looked at Xiaogou Sheng and laughed, "I heard you got beaten up?"

The puppy covered its face with its hand. "No."

"Hahahaha... I went to beg the Emperor. The Emperor punished you by making you pay for the burial of Lady Nangong and sentencing your father to three months of hard labor. You don't need to pay for the Dean Nangong's work, and you don't need to worry about your father's hard labor. Just focus on recovering from your injuries."

"Thank you."

"No need. If your brother-in-law offends you in the future, just don't go and dig up his family's grave right away."

"Brother-in-law, please stop making fun of me. I'm so regretful."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

After Jiang Ruiheng told the others about the Emperor's decree...

Granny Tian: How did it get to the Emperor?

Qian Dahe: In other people's cases, the son pays for the father's debts; in his case, the father pays for the daughter's debts.

Eighteen: This nephew-in-law is quite good.

On the other side, Chief Xi was teaching his grandson to write when his eldest son walked in dejectedly. "Father, was Nangong Shi poisoned?"

"Hmm. You're quite well-informed."

"What do you mean by 'well-informed'? "I was doing my job perfectly fine today when Lord Wang suddenly called me over and scolded me. I asked Lord Wang's attendant, and he said that Nangong's remains had been dug up. Lord Wang is a student of Dean Nangong."

Chief Xi: "..." Lord Wang is his son's superior. If Lord Wang doesn't like his son, his son can forget about getting promoted in the future. "Quick! Go find the Ancestor!"
