How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 221: You sit at home and the pot comes from the sky

When Wei Da learned that Wei Liefeng wanted to take the imperial examination for children, he thought it was wishful thinking. However, just to be on the safe side, Wei Da still asked one of Wei Liefeng's tutors.

Several teachers said that Wei Liefeng was not serious at all during class.

Wei Da was relieved.

As a result, Wei Liefeng actually got first place.

Wei Da suspected that Wei Liefeng had cheated.

The teachers at Hanshan Academy suspected that the Wei family had helped Wei Liefeng cheat.

Wei Da was discussing matters with Wei Er and the others when the steward's voice came from outside. "Master, the headmaster of Hanshan Academy's personal attendant has arrived."

"Let him in."

"Yes."

A moment later, the head servant of the Hanshan Academy's dean entered.

The servant bowed to Wei Da and the others. "Greetings, gentlemen. My master requests your presence."

Wei Da looked at the servant and laughed, "Is your dean going to congratulate me on having a good nephew?"

Chang Sui thought to himself: Don't you know how much knowledge your nephew has? "I suppose so? Sir, when are you free?"

Wei Da took a sip of tea. "When is your dean available?"

“My hospital director is available these two days.”

"Then I'll visit your headmaster first thing tomorrow morning."

"Alright. Then I won't bother you any longer."

"Yes. Butler, see the guest out."

"Yes."

After the headmaster's attendant from Hanshan Academy left with the steward, Wei Er looked at Wei Jiu. "Ninth Brother, did you help that little brat cheat?"

"How could that be? He held a knife to my neck and demanded money from me."

"How could he possibly get first place? He used to play all the time, and he didn't study properly even after going to Hanshan Academy."

"I want to know too. Brother, do you think it could be the Qian family?"

Wei Da thought for a moment. "Possibly."

Wei Er: "Should we expose them?"

"No." Wei Da felt there was little point in exposing them now. "If the Qian family did this, they definitely want more than just one student. Let's wait until they help him pass the provincial examination before exposing them. By then, even the Duke of Jin won't be able to protect them."

Wei Er: "Big brother is wise."

Wei laughed. "Alright, let's continue discussing what we just talked about."

The next day, Wei Da went to Hanshan Academy after breakfast.

The headmaster of Hanshan Academy exchanged a few polite words with Wei Da and then dismissed the servants from the room. "Brother Wei, have I offended you in some way?"

Wei Da was taken aback. "Brother Han, what makes you say that?"

Dean Han was surprised that Wei Da was still pretending to be stupid even after he said that. "Brother Wei, I only let your nephew enter Hanshan Academy because of you."

Wei Da understood. "Brother Chao, you don't actually think that Feng'er getting first place is our achievement, do you?"

“Isn’t that right? Brother Wei, our academy has never had a student cheating since its founding until your nephew enrolled. If this gets out, our academy’s reputation will be ruined.”

"This has nothing to do with us. We were also surprised at the time."

Dean Han didn't believe it. "How could a little kid like him manage to pull all the strings?"

"No."

"Isn't that settled then?" "Brother Wei, you've disappointed me greatly. Take your nephew back with you."

Wei Da cursed the Qian family in his heart. "Brother Han, we really didn't do this. I can swear if you don't believe me."

Dean Han gave Wei Da a disdainful look. "If it's not you, then who is it?"

Wei Da thought for a moment and then voiced their guess. "Brother Han, I'm only telling you this because I'm afraid you'll misunderstand. Please don't spread it around."

Dean Han frowned. "So what are you going to do? You can't just let the Qian family run wild, can you?"

"This... the Qian family is related to the Duke of Jin by marriage." "Then you can't just let them run wild, can you?"

"Well... I'll try to see if I can get in touch with the Duke of Jin?"

"alright."

"What about my nephew?"

"Let him stay at the academy."

"Thank you."

Wei Da chatted with Dean Han for a while longer before taking his leave.

After he left, Dean Han started digging into the people he knew, and after digging and digging, he actually found one.

Duke Jin was reclining in his rocking chair, sipping tea and watching the others work. A clerk approached. "Greetings, Your Excellency."

Duke Jin casually hummed in agreement.

"Lord Duke, I used to study at Hanshan Academy. A few days ago, the headmaster of Hanshan Academy wrote me a letter."

The Duke of Jin glanced at the document. "Are you done with your work?"

"No. The headmaster of Hanshan Academy greatly admires you."

The Duke of Jin took a sip of tea. "Many people admire me."

"...He said the Qian family was using your name to manipulate scientific expeditions."

"Cough! Cough!" The Duke of Jin choked. "What did you just say?"

The clerk repeated what he had just said. "He was afraid you would be implicated, so he asked me to tell you."

"What about the letters he wrote to you?"

The clerk took a letter out of his sleeve.

The Duke of Jin smiled after reading it. "Could you give me this letter?"

"can."

The Duke of Jin put the letter away. "Go on with your work. I will personally thank the headmaster of Hanshan Academy."

"Yes."

After he left, the Duke of Jin summoned his personal attendant. "Take this letter to Qian Gousheng."

"Yes."

Little Dog Sheng was a bit upset after receiving the letter. She was doing her job for the Emperor, and suddenly a big black pot was slammed onto her head.

After dinner, the little dog Sheng told the three bald boys and two calves about what had happened. "You all need to be careful when making friends in the future. Otherwise, people might blame you for what they did."

Three little bald heads and two calves: "We understand, we won't make friends casually."

Qian Laifu was a little confused. "To outsiders, it seems like our family can operate scientific expeditions?"

The puppy said, "Yeah."

Qian Laifu: "..." When did their family become so powerful? "Then...should we explain this to the dean?"

“I wrote him a letter.”

Qian Laifu was relieved. After that, he looked at the three little bald boys and the two calves and said, "You can't help others do bad things."

The three little bald boys said, "Dad/Great-Grandpa, don't worry, we're not stupid."

Two calves: "Grandpa, we probably don't have the ability to help others do bad things right now."

Qian Laifu thought about it and agreed. "Gousheng, you're not allowed to help others do bad things."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Next time I see Wei Liefeng, I'll definitely beat him up. "Grandpa, don't worry. Even if they put mountains of gold and silver in front of me, I won't help them."

Dean Han received the letter from the Duke of Jin first. The Duke of Jin thanked Dean Han, and then said that he had investigated and found that the Qian family had not manipulated the imperial examinations under his name.

How could Wei Liefeng get first place?

Dean Han still hadn't figured out why Wei Liefeng received Xiaogou Sheng's letter after getting first place in the exam.

Dean Han thought that Xiaogou Sheng should explain to him, but unexpectedly, Xiaogou Sheng didn't write anything, he just drew a pig.

Dean Han: "..." Is the Qian family saying he's as stupid as a pig?
*Facepalm* Thank you so much for correcting my mistake, sweetheart! You worked so hard! Wishing you all the best! Sending you love! (з(c)()
