How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 235 He was truly knowingly walking into a tiger's den.
When Tang Xiaoliu woke up and found himself in a carriage, he thought he had been kidnapped. But then he thought, if anyone should be kidnapped, it should be his elder brother, not a mere illegitimate son like him. With that thought, Tang Xiaoliu calmed down.

Tang Xiaoliu looked at his hands and feet again. Finding he could move them freely, he felt even less panicked.

Tang Xiaoliu got up and secretly pulled back the curtain to peek outside. After seeing that the people following the carriage were his family's guards, Tang Xiaoliu felt completely at ease.

"Sigh..." Tang Xiaoliu let out a long sigh. Had he really driven his father to this point? He should probably be more careful in the future.

Upon hearing this, the second steward of the Tang family quickly opened the car door and looked at Tang Xiaoliu, saying, "You're awake? Are you hungry? Mama Bao, quickly bring over the food for the sixth young master."

"Yes!" Bao's mother responded and brought over the warm food.

Tang Xiaoliu took a bite of a steamed bun. "Where did my father tell you to take me?"

"The master instructed us to take you to Miss Qian Si's place."

"Oh."

That's it? "Sixth Young Master, are you... are you trying to lower our guard so you can sneak back?"

Tang Xiaoliu took a sip of soup. "Wouldn't it be suicide for me to sneak out like this, given how good-looking I am?" He just didn't want to work hard; he wasn't stupid.

"So...so you want to eat your fill first and then make a fuss about having the servants take you home?"

“Going back won’t help. My father is determined this time.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t have drugged the mother and son. His aunt often told him that the most important thing in life is to see the situation clearly.

The second steward was relieved. "Sixth Young Master, you mustn't be lying to me."

Tang Xiaoliu took another steamed bun. "Why would I lie to you? Tell me, what kind of person is Miss Qian Si?" Rather than being rejected by his father, he'd rather try to find a way through Miss Qian Si. If Miss Qian Si didn't want him, his father wouldn't be able to stop him from going back.

"I don't know either. The Qian family has only been in the capital for a few years."

"Just tell me what you know."

"Alright. I knew that Old Master Qian doted on Fourth Miss Qian."

"..." Never mind, he'd better ask his wet nurse. This guy's only thought besides his duties is how to usurp the head steward's position? "Wet nurse, wet nurse."

"Yes!" Bao Mama came over immediately when she heard Tang Xiaoliu call her. "Sixth Young Master, what can I do for you?"

"you come up."

Mama Bao also wanted to go up, but the second steward was afraid she would secretly let Tang Xiaoliu go. Mama Bao looked at the second steward.

The second steward hesitated for a moment. "Sixth Young Master, the Master said that if you run away, he will sell us all to the mines."

bump!
Tang Xiaoliu kicked the second steward. "Why are you so annoying? I've already said that if I were to run away, I'd be making things difficult for myself, and you still don't believe me." No wonder he's failed to usurp the throne after all these years.

The second steward rubbed his calves. "I was wrong. Mama Bao, please come up here."

"Ugh."

After Bao's mother sat down, Tang Xiaoliu asked her if she knew what kind of person Xiaogousheng was.

Madam Bao thought for a moment. "This old servant has heard that Miss Qian once beat up the Duke of Jin and the Duke of Wei."

Really? Where did you hear that from?

"This old servant heard it from the servants of the Duke of Wei's mansion."

"That must be true. What else?"

"This old servant has also heard that the Qian family is ruled by the Fourth Miss Qian."

No way? How did you know?

"This old servant heard it from Jin Mama's youngest daughter-in-law, who serves the Duchess of Jin. Sixth Young Master, you mustn't anger Miss Qian after you go there. Miss Qian even dared to hit the Duke of Jin and the Duke of Wei."

Tang Xiaoliu: "..." I want to go home. I don't want to go to see Qian Siguniang. Qian Siguniang is a tiger.

"I won't provoke her. What else do you know?" He was really knowingly walking into danger.

"This old servant has also heard that His Majesty and Consort Tao both quite like Miss Qian Si."

The tiger also has two powerful backers. "And who else?"

"This old servant has heard that Miss Qian is thin and small."

She's become quite cunning. "Anything else?" "That's all this old servant knows. Miss Qian Si didn't stay in the capital for very long."

Ok.

Tang Xiaoliu then inquired with the guards at his house.

The guards only knew that Little Dog Sheng had opened a tavern, and that there was a great beauty in the tavern.

Tang Xiaoliu was a little annoyed. Why was this tiger so mysterious?

In order to get home as soon as possible, Tang Xiaoliu found Xiaogou Sheng as quickly as possible.

Little Dog Sheng was thinking that once they returned to the capital, the Emperor might allow them to build their own academy. A gatekeeper came in and told her that the young master of the Ministry of Personnel's Vice Minister's family was looking for her.

The little dog was puzzled. "Why is he looking for me?"

He said his father sent him.

She didn't have much of a relationship with his father. "Are you sure he's the youngest son of the Vice Minister of Personnel?"

“Confirmed. Their car had the Tang family's insignia, and their visiting cards also bore the seal of Vice Minister Tang. We also have someone who knows that steward. That steward is Vice Minister Tang's second steward.”

"Since it's true, let them in."

"Yes."

A moment later, the guard led Tang Xiaoliu and the second steward inside.

The little dog whistled as soon as it saw Tang Xiaoliu. "Wow! There's such a handsome young master in the world?! Young master, what do you need from me?"

Tang Xiaoliu laughed upon hearing this. "You think I'm pretty too?"

"Of course. What do you need from your sister? I'll do whatever it takes to help you."

Tang Xiaoliu smiled even more happily. "Sister can definitely do it."

"That's good. Just tell me, and I'll take care of it for you."

“My father wants to get me into my sister’s college. I want my sister to tell my father that he doesn’t want me.”

"Alright. I'll write a letter to your father right away. By the way, why don't you want to come to my academy?"

The second steward was surprised that Xiao Gousheng agreed so easily. "Miss Qian, my master asked me to bring you one thousand taels of silver."

"I'm not short of money. Young Master Tang, why don't you want to come to my sister's academy?"

"Two thousand taels." His master said that if Miss Qian Si was unwilling to accept it, he would add another thousand taels.

The little dog glanced sideways at the second steward. "Can't you understand human language?"

Tang Xiaoliu kicked the second steward. "Sister, it's not that I look down on your academy. It's just that my heart isn't in it."

"I see?" Xiaogou asked while picking up his pen, "So what are your aspirations?"

To let Xiaogousheng know he was a hopeless case, Tang Xiaoliu revealed his ambition: "I want to marry a rich wife."

A glint of amusement flashed in Xiao Gousheng's eyes. "Your ambition is quite unique. Are you sure you want to be a kept man?"

Tang Xiaoliu puffed out his chest. "I'm sure." Why rely on hard work when you can get something just by looking good?
The puppy put the pen back. "If you're sure, I suggest you stay."

"why?"

Little Dog Sheng looked at Tang Xiaoliu and said with a smile, "Because there are different levels of being a kept man. Someone like you is the lowest level."

How could he be the lowest rank? He's so handsome. "You're talking nonsense."

"I'm not making this up. If you don't believe me, I'll take you to see for yourself."

"Go and go."
