How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 244 Suddenly she became an illegitimate child

Vice Minister Tang named several people.

Mrs. Tang thought for a moment: "Why do these people's names sound familiar?"

“Of course they sound familiar,” Vice Minister Tang said, taking a sip of tea. “They used to work in the Six Ministries. Do you know where they are now?”

Madam Tang blinked. "You don't mean they're all in that academy run by the Emperor and Qian Gousheng right now, do you?"

“They’re there right now. And Old Master Wen is there too.”

"What?!" Madam Tang's eyes widened in surprise. "Old Master Wen is here too?!"

Vice Minister Tang nodded. "Besides teaching the Four Books and Five Classics, they also set up more than a dozen other subjects. Those subjects covered all six departments."

Now that Madam Tang knew why Vice Minister Tang had called Gou Sheng's academy a mini-court, she leaned closer to him and whispered, "Do you think Qian Gou Sheng might be the son of Miss Dong and the Emperor?"

Minister Tang: "..." His wife really has a vivid imagination. "It shouldn't be, right? Miss Dong looks quite young."

"Those well-maintained socialites look like sisters when they stand next to their daughters."

That's true. But, "Miss Qian doesn't resemble the Emperor or Miss Dong at all, does she?"

"Why is the Emperor so good to Miss Qian Si?"

Tang Shilang was stumped by the question.

Other officials were also wondering why the Emperor was so good to Gousheng. In fact, a few of them shared the same thought as Madam Tang.

When the emperor found out, he gave him a push.

Thus, Gou Sheng went from being the Qian family's precious darling to the illegitimate daughter of the Emperor and Dong Laoqi.

Gou Sheng was unaware that the Emperor and officials had labeled her an illegitimate child. Gou Sheng was currently touring the capital with her tutors, Jiang Shenglin and his entourage, along with support staff and outstanding students.

After we finished shopping, I treated them to a meal of Beijing specialties.

After finishing their meal, they took Eighteen, Five Oxen, and Six Oxen back to the Qian family home. Nineteen and Twenty returned to the Duke of Jin's mansion and the Duke of Wei's mansion, respectively.

When the Qian family heard that they had returned, they all put down what they were doing and came over.

Grandma Tian held her granddaughter in one arm and her youngest son in the other. "You're finally back. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone to the academy to find you."

The little dog, Sheng, rubbed against Granny Tian and said, "Grandma, I missed you so much."

"Grandma misses you all too."

"Grandma, why did you add 'men'? My uncle didn't even say he missed you, so don't include 'my uncle'."

Grandma Tian looked at her granddaughter and smiled, "Your uncle is a boy. Boys are too embarrassed to say it even if they want to."

Eighteen leaned her head on Granny Tian's shoulder. "Mother, I'm so sorry. I was just letting my little niece have her way. Mother, I missed you so much, I brought you lots of good things."

"What should I bring? I'll be happy to see you back."

"Hehe... When I saw those things, I thought of my mother, so I brought them back."

Granny Tian was overjoyed. "Don't waste money like that in the future."

Eighteen: "Buying things for Mother is hardly considered wasteful spending."

Gousheng: "Grandma, Grandma, I brought you something too."

"Good, good, good, you two are both Grandma's darlings." Granny Tian smiled so broadly that her eyes disappeared.

Qian Dashan nudged Qian Laifu's arm. "Dad, are you jealous?"

"What are you jealous of? I've been spending every day with your younger brother and your niece these past few years."

"You don't have a gift."

"What do I, a grown man, need a gift for? Besides, wouldn't your mother think of me when she receives a gift?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Dashan immediately looked towards Granny Tian. "Mother, my father wants to share the things that Shiba and Gousheng bought for you."

Qian Laifu: "..." You unfilial son!
Granny Tian laughed and said, "I won't share with him. I'm saving it to eat slowly."

Gou Sheng: "That's right, don't give Grandpa any."

Qian Laifu: "..." You wretched granddaughter!

Eighteen: "Father, please don't worry about it."

Qian Laifu: This is another unfilial son. "Old woman, I haven't been back for several years, please take care of me." Granny Tian looked at her granddaughter, then at her youngest son. "When I have time, I don't have time now."

Qian Dashan: "Hahahaha... Dad, just accept your fate. You can't compete with Shiba and Gousheng."

Qian Laifu pretended to hit Qian Dashan.

Qian Dashan took off running.

Qian Laifu pretended to chase after him.

Qian Lao Er and Qian Lao San, one on each side, grabbed Qian Laifu and chased after Qian Dashan.

As he ran, Qian Dashan said, "Second brother, third brother, why are you two so mean?"

Qian Lao Er: "I'm not your second brother anymore, I'm Dad's left leg now."

Qian Laosan: "I am now Dad's right leg."

The father and his four sons amused everyone.

Gou Sheng looked at Shi Ba and smiled, "It's so good to be home."

"Yes." Shiba looked at his father and three older brothers and smiled, "Big brother, second brother, and third brother also miss Dad. With big brother, second brother, and third brother around, we can work hard outside with peace of mind."

After laughing and joking for a while, the Qian family finally began their reunion dinner.

After finishing their reunion dinner, Qian Dashan and the others took Shiba away, wanting to ask him about what was happening outside.

Gousheng followed Granny Tian back to her house. "Grandma, has Xi Huaizhou come to visit you?"

“They’ve arrived. The day after you came back, his maternal grandfather brought him to see your grandfather, your paternal grandfather, your uncle, and your aunt.”

Gou Sheng was satisfied. "How are the preparations for my second sister's marriage going?"

"Everything is ready. Grandma and your grandfather discussed it and are thinking of setting aside a courtyard for your second sister and Young Master Xi to live in separately. What do you think?"

Gou Sheng was also thinking of talking to her grandmother about this. "Okay. His maternal grandfather only wanted him to marry into the Xi family so that he could get rid of the Xi family. Our family doesn't lack male offspring, so we don't need to find a son-in-law."

"That's right. It's not that Grandma doesn't want Young Master Xi to eat with us, it's that Grandma is worried that Young Master Xi won't feel comfortable."

"I know. Did you tell my second sister and the others?"

"Not yet. Grandma wants to ask you if it's okay before telling them."

The next morning after breakfast, Granny Tian told Qian Dashan and his wife, as well as Qian Xiahua, about her decision. None of the three had any objections.

Seeing that they had no objections, Gousheng and Shiba went to visit Dean Nangong.

Dean Nangong was delighted to hear that Gousheng and Shiba had arrived. "Quickly, let them in."

"Yes."

A moment later, Gousheng and Shiba came in.

Gou Sheng and Shi Ba bowed to Dean Nangong. "Greetings, Dean."

"Good, good, good." Dean Nangong looked at Gousheng and Shiba and smiled, "They've both grown up."

Eighteen smiled. "Dean, we've come to discuss my second niece and your grandson's matter with you."

"Okay. Come, come, sit down."

After sitting down, Shiba explained their plan to give Qian Xiahua and Xi Huaizhou a courtyard so they could live alone. "What do you think?"

Taihang. "Thank you on behalf of Huaizhou."

Gou Sheng smiled. "You're too kind. Soon we'll be family."

“Yes, we’ll be family soon. If you need anything from your maternal grandfather… uh… if you need anything from your uncle, just tell me.” Dean Nangong originally wanted to say maternal grandfather, but then changed it to uncle because he remembered that Shiba and his grandson’s father-in-law were of the same generation.

Gousheng and Shiba consulted Dean Nangong about what they should pay attention to when running the college, and then took their leave.

Gousheng and Shiba ran into Guo Dazhuang before they even got home.

Guo Dazhuang greeted the two of them and then looked at Gousheng and said, "There are rumors outside that you are the illegitimate daughter of the Emperor and his concubine."

Gou Sheng: "..." You thieving emperor!

Eighteen: "..." Are all those people blind? He must find this person who spread rumors!
*Facepalm* Thank you so much for correcting my mistake, darling! You worked so hard! Wishing you all the best! Sending you love! (з(c)(*з)(ε｀*) *kiss*
