How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 48 The grandfather and grandson were both dumbfounded.

The little dog Sheng stood up and ran to Xie Zhenyun's side, tilting its head up to look at Xie Zhenyun with an innocent expression and said, "Uncle Xie, are you serving as a soldier under the Duke of Jin now?"

"Hmm. You recognize this military uniform I'm wearing?" He had barely finished speaking when Xie Zhenyun's eyes widened in surprise. "You're all done?!"

The little dog Sheng pulled Xie Zhenyun to a secluded spot and whispered, "Uncle Xie, let me tell you, I didn't actually hurt my head. My grandpa was afraid I'd be kidnapped by bad guys after we left home, so he made me pretend to be stupid. My grandpa said, bad guys don't want stupid kids."

Xie Zhenyun could hardly believe his ears!

So the inspirational story that moved him for so long was actually fake!

Xie Zhenyun refused to believe it. "Why are you lying to Uncle Xie as soon as you're better? Uncle Xie is telling you, Uncle Xie won't fall for your tricks."

"Uncle Xie, if I had been mentally impaired from the fall, how would I have known who you were? We parted ways as soon as we arrived in the capital."

Xie Zhenyun: No! This can't be true! His grandfather said this kid is exceptionally clever. This kid must have guessed who he was just from hearing his grandfather mention him! "Where's your grandfather?"

Seeing that he didn't believe it, Xiaogousheng had no choice but to take him to find Qian Laifu.

Qian Laifu was helping Doctor Chang organize the medicinal herbs. Little Dog Sheng led Xie Zhenyun in through the door. "Grandpa, look who's this?"

Upon seeing Xie Zhenyun, Qian Laifu immediately recalled what his granddaughter had told him. She had said that with the Duke of Jin's abilities, he should be able to find out that she and her granddaughter had come to the capital with Xie Zhenyun. Once he found out, he might use Xie Zhenyun to test them.

Now, Xie Zhenyun has actually appeared.

The Duke of Jin is truly capable.

Qian Laifu greeted him with a beaming smile. "Thank you, brother."

Brother Xie's feelings were a bit complicated. "Brother Tian."

"My surname isn't Tian, ​​it's Qian." His granddaughter said that whether Xie Zhenyun's appearance was a coincidence or arranged by the Duke of Jin, it should be considered as arranged by the Duke of Jin. Since it was arranged by the Duke of Jin, then they couldn't lie.

Click!

Xie Zhenyun was completely devastated!
The person he regarded as a role model turned out to be a fraud!
How could this make him feel so embarrassed?
Seeing Xie Zhenyun's dejected expression, Qian Laifu was both puzzled and embarrassed. "Brother Xie, I didn't mean to lie to you. I'm just too embarrassed to say it. Have you heard about that old man surnamed Qian who ran off with his eldest granddaughter's dowry?"

Xie Zhenyun said blankly, "I've heard of him. My second senior brother even said that if you could meet that old man, you'd be rich. The old man's in-laws gave a lot of money as a reward. Don't tell me you're that old man."

Qian Laifu nodded guiltily. "I am that old man. I'm too ashamed to tell you I'm that old man, so I'll just tell you my surname is Tian."

Click! Click! Click...

Xie Zhenyun shattered completely!
The kind that can't be glued together at all.

He not only idolized a conman, but the conman also stole his granddaughter's betrothal money!
Good heavens, he's too ashamed to show his face!
He tells everyone every day that he met a grandfather and grandson, saying that the grandson was especially cute and the grandfather was especially strong, and that if it weren't for them, the grass on his grave would be very tall by now.

God, may a bolt of lightning strike him dead!
It's a shame he's been wandering the martial arts world for so many years.

Seeing the way Gousheng looked like he'd lost his father, Qian Laifu instinctively moved closer to his granddaughter. "Gousheng, is he sick?"

Even Xiao Gousheng hadn't expected Xie Zhenyun to react so strongly. Uncle Xie was truly a man of strong emotions. "No. He just can't accept it right now, he'll be fine in a bit."

Qian Laifu was relieved.

As a result, Xie Zhenyun fell straight to the ground.

The grandfather and grandson were both dumbfounded.

Little Dog Sheng: Is it really that serious? It's just two scammers, isn't it?
Qian Laifu: My goodness! Brother Xie, you've got quite a temper!

The grandfather and grandson turned and ran towards Grandpa Jiang's yard, shouting as they ran, "Grandpa Chang/Brother Chang, help!"

Just as Doctor Chang finished writing a prescription for Second Master Jiang, he heard the grandfather and grandson calling him. Doctor Chang quickly came out of the house. "What's wrong? Were you chased by stray dogs?" The grandfather and grandson pulled Doctor Chang and ran towards their courtyard. "No, we made someone faint from anger."

Upon hearing this, Doctor Chang immediately said, "It's not easy to make someone faint from anger. Many people appear to faint from anger, but actually have other ailments."

Xiaogou Sheng: "He used to be an alcoholic."

Qian Laifu: "He looked like he had been traveling for a long time."

Both the grandfather and grandson felt that they didn't have that much influence on Xie Zhenyun.

As a result, after taking the pulse, Doctor Chang said directly, "This person has no other problems; he fainted from anger."

Grandfather and grandson: Grandpa Chang/Brother Chang, did you take the wrong pulse?
After speaking, Doctor Chang took a silver needle and pricked Xie Zhenyun's body a few times.

Xie Zhenyun woke up shortly afterward.

As soon as Xie Zhenyun woke up, he looked at Qian Laifu with a resentful expression and said, "Do you know why I suddenly cheered up? It's because I felt that even though your grandson was injured and you still didn't give up, you even risked dying on the way to take him to the capital for medical treatment. Why should I give up on myself?"

"So, what you said was actually a lie. And you too,"

Xie Zhenyun looked at Xiaogou Sheng. "I've been so good to you, and you actually pretended to be stupid and lied to me. Give me back my chicken leg."

Little Dog Sheng: So, inspirational stories really can be inspiring. "Ahem, Uncle Xie, although our story is fake, it really pulled you out of your wine jar."

That's true. "Then should Uncle Xie buy you a chicken leg to thank you?"

"No need, no need, I don't need any chicken legs right now."

Xie Zhenyun: "..." I really want to beat this brat up. No, wait, this brat. "So, what you said about coming to the capital to seek revenge was also a lie?"

Qian Laifu: "Hmm. Actually, I wanted to come to the capital to be a beggar. I heard that people in the capital are very generous. Didn't I take two thousand taels from my eldest granddaughter? I have to beg for two thousand taels before I can go home with my face."

Xie Zhenyun wanted God to strike him down again.

Who is he idolizing?

If money from people in the capital were so easy to obtain, he'd become a beggar too.

Seeing that they had finished explaining the situation, Xiao Gousheng began to ask questions. "Uncle Xie, why did you end up serving as a soldier under the Duke of Jin?"

“I came to seek refuge with the Duke of Jin after hearing that the Duke’s heir was suppressing bandits. I’ve been a bodyguard for so many years, I know almost every bandit stronghold in the mountains. Do you know how much you two, grandfather and grandson, mean to me? And you actually told me you were lying to me. Do you know how heartbroken I am?”

Little Dog Sheng: How did we come back to this again? "We know, we won't lie to you anymore."

Qian Laifu: How could I not know? You're so angry you're dizzy. "Yes, yes, I won't lie to you anymore."

From the moment Xie Zhenyun stepped into the Duke of Jin's mansion, Qian Laifu's every word and action was under the Duke of Jin's watchful eye.

The Duke of Jin was relieved after seeing Qian Laifu's reaction.

The findings of Qian Laifu and his subordinates were the same.

Now there's only one problem left: once that problem is figured out, he won't have to waste any more time and effort on this grandmother and grandson.

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

The little dog, Sheng, was chasing a butterfly when the Duke of Jin walked over with a smile. "Uncle will help you chase it, okay?"
