How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 229 Heartbroken in love, but triumphant in the casino... the casino forces itself to be triumphant.

Xiao Gousheng also liked Wei Liefeng quite a bit. However, "You are an only child. Your grandfather, your grandmother, your mother, and those who follow you and your grandfather all hope that you will have more sons. I was born prematurely, so I can't have too many children, and I won't let my husband take a concubine."

"Thank you for liking me. If you ever encounter any difficulties in the future, just come to me. I should be able to help."

Wei Liefeng had considered that Xiaogou Sheng might refuse him. But he hadn't expected it to be because of the issue of offspring. Wei Liefeng wanted to say that he didn't care how many children Xiaogou Sheng had, that even if Xiaogou Sheng only gave him one son or several daughters, he wouldn't take a concubine.

However, his grandfather recited scriptures for him for more than ten years; his mother suffered so many injustices over the years; and those who followed him and his grandfather also endured a lot of hardship over the years...

The little dog smiled at Wei Liefeng. "Alright, don't be so hard on yourself. You already have enough on your shoulders. You need a wife who is gentle, virtuous, and generous. Have your clansmen been making things difficult for you?"

"No. You've been making me act like a host every day these past few days to back me up?"

"That's right. I came out here to back you up. Besides, we're friends, so I need to let others know that I have your back."

Wei Liefeng felt a mix of emotions. "Thank you."

"No need. Remember to come to me if you encounter any difficulties in the future; I still have some skills."

"Okay. Where do you want to go today?"

"You're the landlord, so you call the shots."

When Wei Liefeng returned home that evening, he saw his grandparents and mother waiting for him in the living room.

When Old Madam Wei saw him return, she dismissed all the servants. "Did you tell Miss Qian?"

"Did Miss Qian agree?"

"No."

"Why?" Old Mrs. Wei was very surprised. Her grandson was handsome, learned, and from a good family.

Old Master Wei was also surprised. "Does she think you don't have a noble title?"

"No. She was born prematurely, and she was afraid of delaying our family line."

Grandma Wei: "This...this is indeed a problem."

Old Master Wei: "Why not just take a few concubines?"

Madam Jiang: "Miss Qian won't let you take a concubine?"

"No. I want a legitimate son."

Grandma Wei: "This..."

Old Master Wei: "Alright then."

Jiang: "Then why has she been going out with you every day these past few days?"

"She wanted to stand up for me. She was afraid that my tribe would bully me."

Grandma Wei: "This child is so good."

Old Master Wei: "So, are you going tomorrow or not?"

"Go." Even if it doesn't work out, he still wants to spend more time with her.

Grandpa Wei was relieved. "If we can't be husband and wife, let's be confidants."

"Okay. I'm going back to rest. You guys should get some rest too."

Grandma Wei: "Okay."

After Wei Liefeng left, Grandma Wei couldn't help but say, "If only that child were a bit stronger."

Jiang was also disappointed. "Yes."

Old Master Wei: "Alright, let's think about which family's daughter is suitable for Feng'er. I want Feng'er to get married next year."

Old Mrs. Wei and Madam Jiang immediately forgot about their regrets.

On the other side, Wei Liefeng sat in his room for a while before washing up.

When Xiao Gou Sheng was in Sichuan, Wei Liefeng stayed with him the whole time. When Xiao Gou Sheng left, Wei Liefeng saw him off for ten miles.

Master Daoyi lifted the curtain and looked out. "That kid is still standing there."

"Sigh!" Little Dog Sheng let out a long sigh. "If only he had a brother."

Master Daoyi smiled. "Yes." Doctor Chang looked at Master Daoyi and then at Little Dog Sheng. "What are you talking about?"

Master Daoyi: "It's nothing."

Little Dog Sheng: "He said he has no brothers to help him."

Doctor Chang glanced at the little dog. "Why are you worrying so much? Be careful you don't stunt your growth."

The little dog rubbed his face. "Stop messing around. Come on, let's play chess." People say that if you're unlucky in love, you're lucky in gambling. "Grandmaster, let's gamble on chess. If I win, you give me an ounce; if you win, I'll give you half an ounce."

While picking up the chessboard, Master Daoyi said, "Why do I have to give you one tael when you win, but you only give me half a tael when I win?"

"Because you are the grandmaster."

"Does this mean the grandmaster has to pay more money?"

The puppy, Sheng, said, "Mmm."

Doctor Chang: "Why are you so stingy? It's just one or two taels of silver."

Master Daoyi said, "If I could earn a hundred taels of silver for each acupuncture session, I wouldn't be stingy."

Doctor Chang: "Then you can learn acupuncture from me."

Master Daoyi: "..." Is this guy addicted to taking on disciples? "I have no interest in acupuncture."

"Alright. Gousheng, just take half a tael of silver from him since he's poor."

While arranging the chess pieces, Xiaogou said, "Grandpa Chang, you've been fooled by my grandmaster. Although my grandmaster doesn't know how to give acupuncture, he does know how to tell fortunes, read faces, and perform rituals."

Doctor Chang: "Yes, then you should still ask him for one tael of silver."

Game 1: Little Dog Loses.

Second round: Little Dog lost.

Third round: Little Dog lost.

……

Little Dog Sheng lost twelve games in a row. He was extremely frustrated. "Grandmaster, are you secretly heartbroken?"

"Hahahaha..." Master Daoyi laughed as soon as he heard that. "Your little bit of disappointment will be blown away by the wind. The kind of disappointment that you have to go through to win money from your master is the kind that is heartbreaking."

The puppy pouted. "Grandpa Chang, my grandmaster bullied me."

Just as Master Daoyi was about to say that complaining was useless, Doctor Chang gave Master Daoyi two acupuncture needles. "Alright, if you play against him again, he will definitely lose."

Master Daoyi: "..." His head was spinning, how could he not lose?
Little Dog Sheng: "..." She was just being affectionate.

Seeing that they weren't moving, Doctor Chang helped them set up the chess pieces. "Alright, we can begin."

Master Dao Yi shook his head. "Come on."

The puppy felt a pang of sympathy for Master Dao Yi for a second. "Alright."

With the help of Doctor Chang, Xiaogou not only won back the money he had lost, but also won five taels of silver.

Master Daoyi rubbed his head while glaring at the little dog, Sheng. Meaning: That's good enough.

The little dog made a face at the Taoist priest. "Let's play two more rounds."

Master Daoyi, still holding his head, finished two more plates with the little dog before Doctor Chang finally let him go.

While tidying up the chessboard, Master Daoyi said, "How did I come to know you two? You two are a menace."

Little Dog Sheng: "Hehe..."

Doctor Chang: "You are the real scourge."

Just as Xiaogou Sheng was about to say that we are all good people, he heard a series of rapid hoofbeats coming from ahead.

A moment later, the young scout stopped in front of Xiaogousheng's carriage. "Fourth Miss, Prefect Yang of Xijiang Prefecture sent someone to say that we no longer need to take care of the orphans of their fallen soldiers, and that we should go to other prefectures."

The little dog looked up at the sky. "Bring the person over here."

"Yes."

A moment later, the scout brought the messenger. The messenger looked at Qian Gousheng arrogantly and said, "You're Qian Gousheng? Go to another prefecture. We in Xijiang Prefecture don't need you."
