How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 32 Grandpa, We Have to Make Choices

Dong Laoqi didn't want to be Xiaogousheng's father, nor did he want to follow the script Xiaogousheng gave him.

"Shut up." Old Dong grabbed Xiaogou Sheng's clothes, picked him up, and left. "If your grandma hadn't come back from your aunt's house and found you missing, threatening me that if I didn't find you and bring you back, she would have reported me to the authorities for being unfilial, I wouldn't have come looking for you. You good-for-nothing."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Hey, how could you change the script? That's not right.

The nuns were speechless. Sure enough, their junior sister's father had deliberately abandoned her at the Jade True Temple. The junior sister was even hoping her father would come to pick her up every day. Poor junior sister. Perhaps they should formally enroll her in the Jade True Temple?

The nuns exchanged glances and then gave chase.

The eldest sister, representing everyone, looked at Dong Laoqi and said, "Junior Sister's father, if you really don't want to raise Junior Sister, then let Junior Sister stay here."

Little Dog Sheng: You dared to rewrite the script! Humph!
Old Dong scratched his head in frustration. "Her grandma won't allow it. She said she'd break my legs if I didn't bring this little money-loser back with me."

After saying that, Dong Laoqi strode away.

Seeing that Dong Laoqi was unwilling to leave the puppy behind, the eldest sister had no choice but to say, "Then we'll send her over once her grandmother agrees. Junior sister, have your grandmother bring you to Yuzhen Temple sometime."

The little dog wiped away its tears and said, "Okay. Senior sisters, you can go back now. I'll have my grandma bring me to see you when I have time. My grandma loves me so much."

Amidst the reluctant and worried gazes of her fellow female students, Xiaogou Sheng was carried away by her "father".

The senior sisters stood for a while longer before returning to Yuzhen Temple.

After returning from the event at Yuzhen Temple, the temple manager felt something was missing. Upon looking around, he discovered that the little girl who always ran around the temple had gone off to play somewhere.

The young Taoist nun responsible for serving tea and water to the abbot saw him return and brought him a cup of tea. "Abbot, please have some tea."

"Hmm. Where did that little girl go to play?"

The young nun recounted how Old Dong had come to pick up Little Dog Sheng. "Her father treated her terribly, yet she still longed for him to come and get her every day."

The abbot took a sip of tea. “It’s not that her father treats her badly; he’s just afraid you’ll ask him for the girl’s room and board.”

"Ah?!" The young nun was surprised. "Abbot, how did you know? We didn't notice at all."

The abbot smiled. "If you knew how to read faces, you would have seen it. That little girl's face clearly shows she's been pampered by her parents."

The young nun was relieved. "We thought her father really treated her badly and wanted her to stay in the temple. Abbot, is there anything else you need? If not, I'd like to tell my fellow disciples. They're worried that her father might be abusing her behind her grandmother's back."

"I'm fine now, you can go." That little girl had only been in the temple for a few months, but her disciples already treated her like a younger sister.

On the other side, Dong Laoqi, carrying the little dog Sheng, walked into the mountains and said, "You're quite something, kid. You've managed to win over those nuns at Yuzhen Temple in just a few months. Those nuns are really stupid; they didn't even realize you're a rascal."

The little dog, Sheng, wriggled and grabbed Dong Laoqi's clothes, climbing onto Dong Laoqi's back. "You're the brat, I'm a sweet and soft little girl."

"Whose little girl is named Gousheng?" He had spent so much time with this grandfather and grandson; if he couldn't even tell whether the boy's name was really Gousheng or just a fake one, he would be incredibly stupid. "If you are a sweet and soft little girl, then I am a delicate and beautiful woman."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." Another day of wanting to change his name. "How can you be so shallow? A name is just a label."

"Don't try to provoke me with words; I won't fall for it."

Little Dog Sheng: "..." This guy is a bit stubborn. "What have you been busy with lately?"

"Nothing much? Just hunting and fiddling with cosmetics."

"Have you figured it out yet?"

"It's alright. Didn't you say you were a young girl? I'll draw a flower on your forehead when we get back. I've seen a lot of women draw flowers on their foreheads."

"Okay! They're even drawing flowers on their foreheads now."

"What's so difficult about that? By the way, Qi Hu is dead." "Huh? How did you know?"

“I went to the capital to sell my game a few days ago and saw his son wearing mourning clothes, so I asked him about it.”

"Is anyone still looking for us?"

"It's gone. They even erected a monument for me."

"Oh? Don't you feel that they still have even a little bit of affection for you?"

Old Dong told Little Dog Sheng what he had found out about how Qi Hu died.

After hearing this, Xiaogou Sheng couldn't help but say, "Evil people will always be punished by heaven."

Old Dong turned and glanced at the little dog, Sheng. "You didn't take it?"

The little dog rolled her eyes inwardly. She'd told him so many times, yet he still suspected she was a monster. This guy was hopeless. "If I had that ability, I would have taken care of all those who were lying to us long ago. If I'd known they weren't suspicious, you and Grandpa wouldn't have had to stay holed up in the mountains for so long."

"The mountains are nice."

Well, this guy's still not over it.

When Qian Laifu saw that Dong Laoqi had brought his precious granddaughter back, he immediately dropped what he was doing and came over to greet him. "Gousheng, you're back?"

"Mmm." Xiaogou Sheng jumped off Dong Laoqi's back, walked to Qian Laifu's side, and hugged Qian Laifu's leg. "Grandpa, I missed you so much."

Qian Laifu patted his granddaughter's head. "Grandpa missed you too. Grandpa has never been separated from you for so long. Come on, Grandpa will make you beggar's chicken. Your Uncle Dong caught two chickens yesterday."

"it is good."

The grandmother and grandson happily went to make beggar's chicken.

Old Dong curled his lip. Have these two forgotten why they came to the capital?
The grandfather and grandson hadn't forgotten; they just didn't want to wear long faces all the time. Wearing a long face is not only useless, but it also affects mood, and mood affects the brain.

The grandfather and grandson only started talking about serious matters after they finished eating the chicken.

While stroking the grass beside him, Xiao Gousheng said, "In the past few months, I've seen many noble ladies at Yuzhen Temple. Some I've even seen more than once. But only two of them are engaged and haven't been to Yuzhen Temple."

"One is the eldest granddaughter of the prime minister. The other is the sixth daughter of the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy."

"The prime minister's eldest granddaughter's fiancé is a poor man who has just passed the imperial examination. No one should go to great lengths to scheme against him."

"The fiancé of the sixth daughter of the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy is different. The fiancé of the sixth daughter of the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy is the heir of the Duke of Jin. The Duke of Jin not only commands a large army, but also has amassed a considerable fortune."

"If we could use the wife of the heir of the Duke of Jin's son to take over the Duke of Jin's military power and family business, we would truly be able to take over the efforts of the Duke of Jin's family for generations without firing a single shot."

"Although I didn't meet the sixth daughter of the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy, I did meet his wife. Her eyebrows and eyes look very much like my eldest cousin's."

Upon hearing this, Qian Laifu immediately said, "Then let's go all out for this daughter of the wine seller."

Old Dong frowned. "I advise you to pack up and go back to your hometown. There aren't many people who can command the Tang family, make the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy listen to them, and dare to scheme against the Duke of Jin like this."

Little Dog Sheng also thought of this.

However, she grew up on her older cousin's back.

The little dog, Sheng, touched the grass beside him again. "Grandpa, we have to make choices."
