How did such immense wealth fall into my family?

Chapter 78 A Sudden Guess
Little Dog Sheng raised her hand to wipe away her tears and called out, "Auntie." Little Dog Sheng didn't dare to shout loudly. Her auntie was not only emaciated, but also mentally unstable.

Zhao didn't react at all, only focusing on the child in her arms.

The puppy sniffed and turned to run towards the main hall.

Qian Laifu and his son Qian Dashan were startled when they saw the little dog Sheng running back crying.

Qian Laifu jumped to his feet. "What's wrong? Who bullied you? Tell Grandpa, and Grandpa will get revenge for you." His little granddaughter only cried a few times when she didn't want to walk; otherwise, she never cried.

Qian Dashan also stood up. "Uncle will go and avenge you too." Qian Dashan already doted on Gousheng, and Qian Laifu said that the reason that lady gave him that half of the land deed was because of Gousheng.

Qian Daniu also stood up.

The little dog wiped away its tears and said in a sob, "No one bullied me. My aunt is back, and she's not doing well. Please don't scold her or raise your voices."

Qian Laifu quickly asked, "What's wrong with it?"

"She looks terrible, and she's not right in the head either. She won't respond when I call her; she just stares at the child in her arms."

After hearing this, Qian Dashan walked out, and Qian Daniu followed him.

The little dog, Sheng, gave the instructions again.

The father and son nodded and left in a hurry.

Only Qian Laifu and his dog Sheng remained in the house.

Qian Laifu wiped away the tears of the little dog, Sheng. "Don't cry. When we get back, we'll have your Grandpa Chang take a look at your aunt. Your Grandpa Chang is so skilled, he can definitely cure your aunt."

"Yes. We need to take that child back."

"Let her take it. Your aunt is like this, she'll go crazy if you don't let her take it."

Qian Laifu and Xiaogou Sheng both wanted to tell Zhao about Qian Chunhua's affair, but they knew that Zhao couldn't keep secrets.

The grandfather and grandson had just finished discussing when they heard Zhao scream. They rushed out and saw Qian Dashan and his son standing helplessly beside Zhao.

The little dog quickly said, "Stay away from her, she's afraid you'll take her baby."

Qian Dashan and his son quickly took eight or nine steps back.

The little dog, Sheng, stopped five or six meters away from Zhao. "Don't be afraid, we won't take your child. I'm asking you, do you have a niece named Sheng?"

After seeing Qian Dashan and his son leave, Zhao calmed down a bit. "Yes. Don't take my grandson away, don't take him."

Little Dog Sheng was about to cry again. "We're not trying to steal your grandson, we just want you to see if I look like your little niece named Gou Sheng?"

Zhao felt a little relieved when she heard that she wouldn't steal it. "I can't see clearly, come this way."

"Okay." The little dog wiped away his tears and took a few steps forward.

Zhao squinted and looked at it. "A little further ahead."

"Okay." Little Dog Sheng took several more steps forward before Zhao Shi could see him clearly. "Dog Sheng?"

The puppy recognized Zhao Shi from her tone and immediately rushed over to hug her leg.

"Aunt, you finally recognized me. Aunt, I've brought your father-in-law, your husband, and your eldest son to support you."

“You’re not alone anymore. Don’t worry about anyone taking your grandson away. If anyone tries to take your grandson, your father-in-law, your husband, and your eldest son will beat him to a pulp.”

"You're not alone anymore, so don't be afraid."

Little Dog Sheng spoke quickly and loudly. He spoke so fast and loudly because he wanted to force these words into Zhao's mind. Little Dog Sheng would listen carefully to anyone else who spoke quickly.

Seeing that her aunt was still a little dazed, Xiaogou Sheng repeated it again.

After repeating it, Xiaogou Sheng pointed at Qian Laifu and said, "Look, that's your father-in-law. Your father-in-law has come to back you up."

The reason Xiaogou Sheng mentioned her grandfather first is because her aunt is afraid that someone will take her grandson away. Her grandfather is old, so her aunt shouldn't be afraid.

Sure enough, Zhao squinted and took a few steps forward when she saw that Qian Laifu looked like an old man. After seeing him clearly, Zhao burst into tears. "Father! I've killed Chunhua! I've killed Chunhua! Waaah..."

Little Dog Sheng secretly glared at Lord Chen. This man definitely hadn't properly told her aunt where he was taking her.

Lord Chen frowned as he watched Zhao's ugly and unpleasant crying. "Alright, let's go back to the inn and wait for news."

Qian Laifu and his son Qian Dashan didn't dare let Zhao cry and wail in the yamen, and they both tried to persuade her. Zhao then remembered how she had caused her daughter's death. "Father, I killed Chunhua, I killed Chunhua..."

Qian Dashan was sweating with anxiety. "Let's go back to the inn first, let's go back to the inn first."

Zhao ignored him completely.

The little dog raised its hand and stretched it towards the baby's bottom that Zhao was holding.

"Wah..." The baby cried instantly.

Zhao Shi forgot about crying. "What's wrong? Don't cry, Grandma's here."

Little Dog Sheng quickly said, "Auntie, he must be hungry. Let's go find him something to eat."

"Yes, yes, let's go find something to eat." Qian Dashan said, winking at his son.

The father and son each grabbed Zhao's hand and led her outside.

The puppy urged them as it walked away, "Hurry up, hurry up, he's crying from hunger."

Qian Laifu kowtowed to Lord Chen and said, "Thank you, sir," before going to chase after his children and grandchildren.

In the blink of an eye, the Qian family had all left.

Lord Chen stroked his beard. That little girl was quite clever, it's a pity she wasn't born into a good family. If her family background were better, he would have taken her in as his daughter-in-law.

As soon as they arrived at the inn, Zhao busied herself finding food for her grandson.

The puppy took the opportunity to go back to its room.

When Dong Laoqi saw her return, he sat up in bed. "What do you want to ask? Go ahead and ask."

Whose child is that?

"I don't know. That child was brought back from outside. Maybe it was born to one of the Tang family men's mistresses, or maybe it was bought."

Xiaogou Sheng: "..." How is she supposed to treat that child? "Do you know who brought this child back?"

"Yes, Lord Tang."

Upon hearing that it was Lord Tang who had brought the child back, Xiao Gousheng suddenly had a guess. "Do you think this child might be the son of some military general?"

Old Dong was surprised to hear this. "Why do you think that?"

"Look, the person behind the Tang family tricked my eldest cousin into coming to the capital so that the child in Jiang Yuxin's belly could inherit the Duke of Jin's military power and connections. Is it possible that he wants more than just the Duke of Jin's mansion?"

Old Dong thought for a moment. "Possibly. The only downside to this move is that it will take ten or twenty years."

"How old is His Majesty now?"

"thirty eight."

Little Dog Sheng looked at Dong Laoqi and said slowly, "In another ten or twenty years, the Emperor will be old."

Dong Laoqi: "..." No way? "You mean, they want to usurp the throne?"

"Most likely. The period of change of the throne is the most chaotic and the easiest time to accomplish something."

Dong Laoqi: "..." Damn! Those guys are really patient. "Should I go find out who had a baby those days?"

"Hmm. Perhaps we should inquire further about which of the Emperor's brothers he trusts most?"
