How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 52 A biting dog never barks
There were also people from the Duke of Jin's residence here. The wet nurse of the Duke of Jin's heir was surnamed Wu. When Wu's mother heard the sound of the puppy Sheng, she quickly came out of the house.

"Oh dear, Little Dog Sheng is here? This lady's surname is Jia, and she is Miss Jiang Liu's wet nurse. Miss Jiang Liu is my young master's fiancée. Madam Jia, this is Doctor Chang's niece-in-law and grand-nephew. Doctor Chang's niece-in-law's surname is Tian, ​​you can just call her Madam Tian. Doctor Chang's grand-nephew is called Gou Sheng, everyone calls him Little Dog Sheng."

When Granny Jia heard Granny Wu mention "Dr. Chang" several times, she understood why Little Dog Sheng was so arrogant. However, she wouldn't indulge him like the Jiang family did. "Greetings, Madam Tian. Greetings, young master. Young master, we haven't finished tidying up here yet, why don't you go play somewhere else?"

The little dog looked up at Dong Laoqi and blinked. "Mom, she won't let us go in to see the excitement."

Old Master Dong frowned and looked at Granny Jia, saying, "Why won't you let us in? You're not hiding something shameful in the house, are you? I've heard that some women listen to sorcerers and put evil things in their houses to win their husbands' favor."

Mother Wu: My goodness! That Mrs. Tian can really drive anyone crazy with just her words. No wonder she hides in her room all day. As for what she said, it's impossible; the Jiang family is a scholarly family.

Madam Jia's eyelids twitched. "Madam Tian is too kind. Since you don't mind the mess, please come in. I have other matters to attend to, so I won't keep you company any longer."

After saying that, Jia's mother left.

Mother Wu bowed to Old Man Dong, said "Make yourselves at home," and then went to catch up with Mother Jia.

After catching up with Jia's mother, Wu's mother first told her about Xiaogou Sheng's status in Doctor Chang's heart, and then said that Xiaogou Sheng and his friends came from the countryside. Finally, she asked Jia's mother not to take Xiaogou Sheng and his friends seriously.

Mrs. Jia gave a perfunctory "hmm" and then ignored Mrs. Wu.

Madam Wu inwardly scoffed. She said, "If your young lady ever angers my young master, don't come begging me. I won't speak well of your young lady." Only then did she continue exchanging pleasantries with Madam Wu.

For the next few days, Xiao Gou Sheng and Dong Lao Qi came every day, staying all day each time. Wu's mother started to get annoyed with them.

But Xiaoxiaosheng said it was the first time she had seen someone else get married, so she had to take a good look.

Upon hearing this, Madam Wu immediately went to find the Duchess. Madam Wu was afraid that on the wedding day, Xiao Gou Sheng would also stay in the bridal chamber and refuse to leave.

The Duchess was also afraid, but there was nothing she could do. In the end, she could only place her hopes on the heir of the Duke of Jin.

The heir of the Duke of Jin only returned the day before his wedding.

The little dog was busy memorizing the characteristics of the Jiang family servants and didn't pay attention to the heir of the Duke of Jin.

Before we knew it, the wedding day arrived.

The Duchess and Madam Wu were both worried that Xiaogousheng would stay in the bridal chamber and refuse to leave. However, after watching the wedding ceremony, Xiaogousheng thought the wedding was over and dragged his mother back to the banquet.

Doctor Chang disliked crowds, so the Duchess set up a separate table in the courtyard where Xiao Gousheng and his family lived.

The Duchess and Mama Wu both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the servant's report.

On the other side, Xiao Gou Sheng and Dong Lao Qi exchanged information while changing clothes. Xiao Gou Sheng changed into the clothes of a maid in the Duke of Jin's mansion, while Dong Lao Qi first put on a set of night clothes, and then put on the clothes of an old woman in the Duke of Jin's mansion.

The puppy said, "That Aunt Jia didn't come."

Old Master Dong: "None of the maids who came with me today have martial arts skills. Two of the servants have."

Little Dog Sheng: "They probably think their plan is perfect. There's no need to bring in a few maids who know martial arts to arouse suspicion. Miss Jiang's maids are all servants born into the Jiang family and none of them have learned martial arts."

Dong Laoqi: "Okay. Let's go. If we need to kill someone, don't do it yourself, I'll handle it."

Little Dog Sheng: "Okay. Remember to be gentle. Miss Jiang's personal maid has never done heavy work."

Dong Laoqi: "I understand, let's go. Is that bride your eldest cousin?"

Little Dog: "I don't know. The bride's figure and the way she walks are different from my older cousin's."

Dong Laoqi: "..." You're about to go rescue someone and you're telling me you don't know if that person is your eldest cousin? "Are we still going?"

The puppy said, "Go."

Ok.

Old Dong was already skilled, and he had trained for several months. Soon, he returned with a poisoned handkerchief and a porcelain bottle containing a corpse-dissolving solution. "How did you know the items were on that maid?"

"She's the least noticeable." "That's it?"

"A barking dog doesn't bite. It seems that God doesn't want us to go on a killing spree?"

Old Dong glanced at Little Dog Sheng. "Are you disappointed?"

"No, not really. I'm just a little short of breath."

"You can also go head-to-head with them."

"I'm not a fool. Let's go hide outside the new house of the Duke of Jin's heir." Although they had switched the items, she wasn't sure until the very last moment that the other party had no other plans.
The next day, before dawn, the heir of the Duke of Jin emerged from his house. The army was already waiting for him outside the city.

When Miss Jiang Liu's four personal maids saw him come out, they bowed to him and said, "Good morning, Young Master."

"Yes. Madam hasn't woken up yet. You can go in after she wakes up."

"Yes."

As soon as the heir of the Duke of Jin left, the four of them pushed open the door and went inside.

Unbeknownst to them, while they were bowing to the heir of the Duke of Jin, Dong Laoqi had already climbed in through the back window with his little dog, Sheng.

The four men looked at the person sleeping soundly on the bed and smiled disdainfully. After laughing, the inconspicuous maid took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and covered the person's mouth and nose. After a while, the person's face turned black.

One of the maids whispered, "This medicine is really potent."

Another chimed in, "Of course, this medicine is..."

"Shut up." She was interrupted by the inconspicuous maid before she could finish speaking. "Quickly carry him to the bathroom."

Upon arriving at the bathroom, the unassuming maid first filled the tub with water, then took out a small porcelain bottle from her bosom, unscrewed the stopper, and poured the water into the tub. "Put her in."

"Yes."

The other three maids lowered the woman they were carrying inside.

The room instantly filled with a foul odor.

The four of them turned and left. Firstly, the smell was unpleasant, and secondly, they were afraid.

As soon as they left, Dong Laoqi jumped down from the roof beam and pulled the person out of the bathtub. After pulling him out, he took out a piece of cloth from his pocket, wrapped the person up, and carried him on his shoulder.

The puppy threw something into the bathtub.

Qian Laifu rushed over as soon as he saw Dong Laoqi and the dog Sheng return. "Is your eldest cousin alright?"

"It's okay. Let me change my older cousin's clothes first."

"Okay, okay. As long as everyone's alright, that's all that matters."

Old Dong put the person in the inner room and then went out.

The puppy took out a porcelain bottle, unscrewed the stopper, and held it under her nose for her to smell.

A moment later, the person in bed woke up.

When she woke up and saw the little dog, Sheng, she was stunned for a moment. "You...you're Sheng?"

"Phew..." Little Dog Sheng let out a long sigh. "Big Cousin, you stay here for now. I have other things to take care of. I'll explain to you when I'm done."

"Okay." Although she didn't know what had happened, her little cousin had always been clever.

After receiving her assurance, Xiao Gousheng said, "Grandpa didn't do anything wrong to you," and then hurriedly left.
