How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 186 That was because you forced me to do it.
Snapped!
The puppy raised its hand and slapped Eighteen.

Before the Emperor could even ask his son why he called Xi Huaizhou an idiot, he saw his son being beaten. "Qian Gousheng, why did you hit him?"

Eighteen stumbled. "Qian Gousheng, you've committed insubordination."

The Emperor said, "That's right. Eighteen is your uncle."

The little dog didn't want to hit him, but what if the Emperor got angry? "Your Majesty, I'm hitting him on behalf of my grandma. If my grandma knew he was talking to you like that, she would definitely beat his little bottom to a pulp."

Smash it?!

The Emperor looked towards Consort Tao. (Meaning: Is what Qian Gousheng said true?)
Eighteen touched his little bottom. "Your Majesty, I was wrong. I shouldn't have spoken to you like that."

The Emperor: "..." His son is truly flexible and adaptable. "Does your mother often beat you?"

"No. My mother only beats us because we made a mistake." He couldn't tell others that his mother was unreasonable.

"us?"

"Yes. There are also nineteen and twenty."

"You're not angry when your mother hits you?"

"Angry?" Shiba was puzzled. "Who doesn't spank their child?"

"..."

"Your Majesty, you were also beaten when you were a child, weren't you?"

"No."

"You never got a beating when you were a kid?" Eighteen asked, quite surprised. "Were you a bookworm when you were little...? Hmm...? Did you love reading when you were little?"

"Shouldn't you envy me?"

What's there to envy? Studying all day is so boring. "Hehe... I'm embarrassed to say. Um, why do you want to pair Xi Huaizhou up with my second niece?"

The Emperor wanted to say that this matter had nothing to do with him. However, since both of these little ones had come to ask him, it meant they were certain that it was related to him. "Tell me first why you think this matter is related to me?"

"So many years have passed since the Nangong family's affair, yet the Ministry of Justice investigated and clarified it in just a few days."

Your Majesty: I should have told the Ministry of Justice to delay solving the case for a few days. "The Xi family provided quite a few clues."

"That's because you forced them. If you hadn't forced them, they wouldn't have revealed their family's dirty laundry."

Indeed. "I had someone tell them they are all suspects and cannot leave the city. Why did you say Xi Huaizhou is an idiot?"

Eighteen recounted his reasons. "He's not good enough for my second niece. My second niece might be the one to do it. Those tiger-head shoes I'm wearing were made for me by my second niece, aren't they impressive?"

Eighteen raised one foot to show the Emperor.

"Majestic." Although not as exquisite as the embroidery by the palace embroiderers, it captured the imposing presence of the king of the mountains. "You really like your second niece?"

"Ah."

"So, do you like your little niece?"

"I love it. My little niece is just as smart as me."

"She just hit you."

Eighteen waved his hand. "How could I, as an uncle, stop liking my little niece because of something like this? Um, could you please take that idiot surnamed Xi back?"

Of course not, he specifically chose that one. "If your mother knew you wanted me to take Xi Huaizhou back, wouldn't she spank you?"

eighteen:"……"

"Hahahaha..." The Emperor was amused by the expression on the face of the Eighteenth Prince, who was both annoyed that Xi Huaizhou was stupid and afraid that his mother would beat his little bottom.

Eighteen glanced at the Emperor with a sullen expression. The implication was: How dare you laugh? If it weren't for you, would I be so conflicted?
"Hahahaha..." I really want to tell the whole world right now that this is his son. "Don't be upset. When he marries into your family, you can teach him a lot. If he still doesn't know how to adapt, you can slap his hand. You're his uncle, after all."

That's all we can do. "Alright. What made you fall for him?"

"Ahem, well? You haven't seen a real tiger yet, have you? I'll take you to see one."

Eighteen's eyes lit up immediately. "You have a real tiger in your house?"

"Yes. My family not only has real tigers, but also real leopards and real bears. Want to see them?"

Eighteen: "Yes!" Little Dog Sheng: "Cough cough!"

Eighteen: "..." I forgot about the important matter. "Um? Matchmaking is so troublesome, are you not planning to do matchmaking anymore?"

"I don't find it troublesome. Here's what I'll do: if I want to arrange a marriage for your niece in the future, I'll let you know first." After all, these people were all prepared for him.

What if I don't like it?

"If you don't like it, then forget it."

"That's fine then. Okay. By the way, you still haven't told me why you want to pair Xi Huaizhou up with my second niece?"

Seeing that he couldn't get away with it, the Emperor had no choice but to say, "Of course it's because your family's foundation is too weak. If I don't provide you with some talented people, when will your family ever rise up? I don't want my niece to suffer in your family."

Speaking of talent, the Emperor remembered something. "Qian Gousheng, did I give Jiang Shenglin to you so he could farm for you?"

Xiao Gou Sheng didn't think the Emperor was telling the truth. But she couldn't do anything about it. "I've already written a letter and summoned him. The task you gave me isn't a one-time thing. I plan to use the 180,000 taels you gave me to buy some property. With property, I can continue to help the families of fallen soldiers."

The Emperor's eyes showed a hint of approval. "Not bad. Keep up the good work, and I won't treat you unfairly."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Just don't play matchmaker.

18: "Can we go see the tigers now?"

The Emperor laughed upon hearing this. "Look how anxious you are. Let's go."

"Hehe... Thank you for inviting me to see the tiger."

"You're welcome. Let's go."

"it is good."

Eighteen was overjoyed to see a real tiger. "Wow! This is a real tiger? It's huge!"

The Emperor smiled. "Aren't you afraid?"

"Don't worry, you've locked it up."

"Hahahaha... When you grow up, I will take you to see the true king of the mountains and forests."

“Okay. When Nineteen and Twenty come back, can I bring Nineteen and Twenty, along with my nephews, to see the tiger? They’ve never seen a tiger before.”

"can."

"It's so kind of you."

"Hahaha... A few tigers were enough to appease you?"

"Mm." Shiba nodded and said, "I'm easy to coax."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

The palace servants who managed the animal park didn't think much of it, seeing how well the Emperor treated the Eighteenth Prince. They all assumed the Emperor was only teasing the Eighteenth Prince because of Consort Tao, the Duke of Jin, and the Duke of Wei.

When Shiba and Xiaogousheng left, the Emperor gave them two boxes of food.

When Granny Tian saw them leave empty-handed, she casually asked as they returned carrying groceries, "What did you buy?"

The puppy said, "I didn't buy it."

Eighteen: "We went to the palace to play with the Emperor, and he liked us very much."

Granny Tian: "..." These two troublesome children!
Granny Tian turned around and went to find the broom handle.

Eighteen blinked. "Little niece, what does your grandma mean by that?"

"It means these two kids are too bold and need to be given a good beating."

Eighteen put down the food box and ran. As she ran, she shouted, "Mother, I miss my master. I'm going to Longhua Temple to see my master."

The puppy, Sheng, also put the food box on the ground. "Grandma, I'll take my uncle there. My uncle doesn't know the way."

In the blink of an eye, the two disappeared.

Granny Tian stormed out of the house with a broom handle in hand. "You two little rascals, get back here! I'm going to give you a good spanking today!"

The palace is inhabited by nobles. If a noble is unhappy and beats these two troublesome children to death, then the two troublesome children will have died in vain!
