How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 30 Sister, I'm scared

Qian Laifu was still confused.

But he believes in his granddaughter.

His granddaughter is not only smart, but also has a natural ability to ward off evil spirits.

Old Dong wasn't surprised that Xiao Gou Sheng suddenly went to find his grandfather. Even if the kid wasn't a monster, he was related to one. Otherwise, why would the mass grave be so quiet? He'd been there before, hadn't he?

Xiaogou Sheng told his grandfather how she came up with the idea and then came back to find Dong Laoqi.

When Dong Laoqi saw that he had returned, he didn't ask him why he had suddenly left.
Little Dog Sheng squatted down in front of Old Man Dong and looked at him, saying, "Could you tell me again which young master and which young lady in the capital are engaged? Start from the highest to the lowest." A couple of days ago, Old Man Dong had already told Little Dog Sheng all the information he knew about the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital.

Seeing that Xiao Gousheng had asked again, Dong Laoqi didn't say anything. "Alright. The eldest granddaughter of the First Prince and Grand Tutor Liu, the second son of Prince Ning and the second daughter of General Xu, the third son of the Vice Minister of Personnel and the youngest daughter of the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy..."

Old Dong made a total of fifteen pairs.

As the puppy was writing, he wondered how he could find out what these ladies looked like.

After Dong Laoqi finished speaking, Xiaogou Sheng had almost come up with a solution.

Xiaogousheng wondered if those people might use the tactic of suddenly changing the bride to increase their success rate. Later, Xiaogousheng thought that those people probably wouldn't suddenly change the bride.

While a sudden change of partner may make the man unfamiliar with the woman, it can also leave hidden dangers.

In the future, whenever the man discovers any problems, he will suspect that the woman may have done it on purpose.

Therefore, Xiaogou Sheng still focused his attention on those who were already engaged.

Just as Xiaogou Sheng was about to thank Dong Laoqi, Dong Laoqi suddenly said, "Someone's coming."

The three quickly climbed to the spot they had found beforehand to pretend to be corpses.

A moment later, three people came over carrying six rolls of mats.

The three of them walked and chatted.

A: "That Ding fellow is a real scoundrel. The Emperor is so merciful that he even left him a whole corpse."

B: "Yes. He usually seems quite kind, I never expected him to have done so many bad things."

C: "Who says otherwise? His family members were also quite unlucky; they were all exiled to the frontier."

A: "At least his family members got to eat well and drink well with him. It was his servants who were unlucky."

C: "That's true. Usually, the servants of officials who commit crimes are sold off, but this time they've gone to exile with their masters."

B: "How do you know he's never had a good meal or a spicy one? What's that saying? Hmm... 'Even a seventh-rank official is before the prime minister's gate.' Yes, that's it. His servants must have done a lot of bad things, otherwise why would the emperor have exiled them too?"

C: "That's true. They must have done a lot of bad things too."

A: "His eldest daughter-in-law is really unlucky. Her family got into trouble a few years ago, and now her husband's family is in trouble too."

B: "Not only that, I heard that her son also died."

A: "I've heard about it too. I also heard that she gave birth to another son recently, but he died not long after birth."

C: "Tsk tsk! How pathetic!"

A: "Yes. My son is dead, and my husband is dead too. I have to go to exile with my husband's family."

B: "I heard that the place where her husband's family was exiled and the place where her mother's family was exiled were the same place."

C: "Really?"

A: "I've heard about that too. I also heard that she wanted to take her eldest son's remains with her on her final journey, but her eldest son's grave was dug up by dogs."

C: "Really?"

B: "Really. I went to see it." C: "You're so free."

B: "Aren't you curious?"

……

The three men casually tossed the mats they were carrying aside and left.

Old Dong said, "Get up," after they had walked away. Although his martial arts skills were gone, his hearing was still better than most people's.

When Xiaogousheng heard the three people say that Ding's eldest daughter-in-law had given birth to a son who died recently, he thought of the child that the grandmother and grandson had found here.

Thinking there was no harm in taking a look, Xiao Gousheng walked up to the rolls of mats and began to lift them. When he lifted the third one, he saw the old woman who had wanted to mend Shiba's clothes that day.

Okay, it's confirmed. Shi Ba must have been born to Ding's unlucky eldest daughter-in-law.

Eighteen, you could say, turned misfortune into blessing.

If the Ding family hadn't harmed Shiba, Shiba would have been exiled with them by now.

Eighteen was only a few days old when she was born. If she were to go into exile with the Ding family...

This kid, Shiba, is not only lucky, but also very fortunate.

As for this old woman saying that Eighteen is an illegitimate child?

Perhaps it was because he had a maternal relative who had been exiled at the age of eighteen.

Qian Laifu saw that Xiaogou Sheng had lifted the mat and thought that Xiaogou Sheng was trying to find something. So he started lifting his own mat too.

After uncovering the body, Qian Laifu sighed. "They're all dead."

"Hmm." Little Dog Sheng called Dong Laoqi over. "Do you know them?"

Old Dong looked at them and pointed to four of them. “I recognize these four. This man’s surname is Ding, and he is the Vice Minister of Rites. This is his wife, this is his eldest son, and this is his confidant who often follows him. I don’t recognize the old woman and the young man. Judging from their appearances, the young man and the old woman look somewhat alike, so they might be mother and son.”

Little Dog Sheng also thought the young man looked quite like the old woman who threw away eighteen yuan that day. "Who is Young Master Ding's father-in-law?"

"The Minister of Works. His surname is Sun. He was exiled a few years ago for embezzlement."

"..." Having such a maternal grandfather is indeed not very honorable, but that doesn't mean we can't let Shiba live, right?
Forget it, I don't want to.

All she needs to know is who Eighteen's mother is. When Eighteen grows up, she'll tell him and let him go find his mother. This will prevent things like him falling in love with his own sister.

I hope his mother can stay strong and not do *that* before she's even eighteen.

As for going to find Eighteen's mother and telling her that Eighteen is still alive...

First of all, she didn't even know where her mother was now.

Secondly, if Qi Huwan realized that there was something wrong with the three skeletons, wouldn't she be courting death if she went out to wander around now?

Time flies, and a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

As dusk approached, a little girl suddenly arrived at Yuzhen Temple. The girl was about four or five years old, dark-skinned and thin.

The little girl, wiping away tears, tugged at a young Taoist nun and pleaded pitifully, "Sister, can I stay with you for a few days? My father is missing. Waaah... Sister, can I stay with you for a few days? Sister, I'm scared. My grandma said there are ghosts outside at night. Ghosts like to eat children. Waaah... Sister, please let me stay for a few days, just a few days. Sister, if you don't let me stay, I'll be eaten by ghosts. Waaah... Waaah..."

The young nun saw that the little dog, Sheng, was dark and thin, and thought that her father probably didn't want to raise her anymore, so he abandoned her near the Taoist temple. "Little sister, don't cry. I'll go ask the abbot."

The little dog wiped away its tears. "Sister, can I go with you? I don't want to be eaten by a ghost. My grandma said that if I'm eaten by a ghost, I'll never see her again. Waaah... Sister, I don't want to be eaten by a ghost. Waaah..."

Thank you for correcting my mistake, my dear. Wishing you a happy mood every day.
