Chapter 1433: Ten Taels of Silver Deposit

Hearing "father die, mother perish," Chen Guanlou felt he was a good person.

Don't look at Pure Yang Zhenren hanging "Infinite Life and Fortune" on his lips all day; in fact, his heart is black. Blacker than his.

Dou Shu's eyes were starry, as if this idea had poked into her heart. Then her eyes dimmed again, obviously knowing this method was not feasible.

"All bad ideas!" Chen Guanlou complained: "Even if the father dies and the mother perishes, she still can't inherit the family business, and according to the rules, she still has to observe mourning. In law, in name, she has to observe mourning for the fake father and fake mother. Moreover, the stepmother has a son, which means her fate falls into the hands of her brother, which is probably even more miserable."

Pure Yang Zhenren stroked his beard and nodded. "I didn't think it through. Why not kill them all!"

Chen Guanlou laughed in anger. "If the whole family dies, leaving only her, you're afraid the outsiders won't know she's the murderer. By then, don't talk about inheriting the family business, she'll go straight to the death row cell. Patricide and matricide, ten evils and unforgivable, must be sliced to death! Miss Dou, do you want to be sliced to death?"

Dou Shu shook her head tremblingly.

Simply put, the regular path doesn't work, and the extraordinary means don't work either.

Don't look at the government as if it doesn't do proper work.

When they do proper work, they are not human; they will dig three feet into the ground to find it.

"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, then what do you say we should do?" Pure Yang Zhenren looked a bit irritable.

Chen Guanlou looked at Dou Shu. "Miss Dou, everything we discussed just now is based on the premise that Dou Anzhi is a fake, and it doesn't count, do you understand?"

Dou Shu nodded, indicating she understood.

Chen Guanlou continued to ask: "I solemnly ask you one more time, and I hope you can answer us honestly, what do you really want to do? What kind of goal do you want to achieve?"

Dou Shu's expression changed slightly, she took a deep breath, thought for a moment, and then said: "I don't want to marry that incompetent son of a concubine, I want to find out the truth, whether he is really my biological father. If it is found that he is indeed not, I hope the truth can be revealed to the world."

"If he is really your father, what will you do?" Chen Guanlou pursued.

He must clearly know the other person's bottom line, so he wouldn't be busy on this end while the other person was dragging his feet on the other end.

Dou Shu covered her face, seemingly afraid to think deeply about this result.

But she still spat out her real thoughts, "If he is really my father, I want to know how my mother died, how the Dou family died.

Why did he marry the distant cousin of the servant as his wife, why did he treat me like this. Am I not his child? Why did he make me marry an incompetent son of a concubine.

Marriage is about the union of two families, about help. He works in the government office, doesn't he hope I marry a good family and give him help in the future? Why trample on me like this."

Seemingly touching a pain point in her heart, Dou Shu couldn't help it anymore and started sobbing. The suppressed crying sound was truly unbearable.

Chen Guanlou drank tea, waiting for the other person to vent her emotions.

Pure Yang Zhenren winked, seemingly having something to say.

Chen Guanlou signaled him to speak boldly, ensuring Dou Shu couldn't hear.

So, Pure Yang Zhenren whispered: "Are you really going to help her? Don't you doubt that maybe she's just dissatisfied with her fiancé and deliberately fabricated all this."

"It's possible! Don't you curious about whether what she said is true? That Lord Dou, is he the real person, or is he impersonated by a servant? Did the Dou family really die out? Aren't you curious about these?"

Pure Yang Zhenren pondered. "I am quite curious. I've seen many cases of replacing the real with the fake. But this is the first time I've heard of such a replacement, it's a bit strange. Do you have any ideas?"

After Dou Shu finished crying, Chen Guanlou asked her, "How is your father's knowledge? Are you sure the fame was earned by your father himself, not impersonated by the servant? Otherwise, why would your father let the servant impersonate him?"

Dou Shu took out a handkerchief, gently wiped her tears, and organized her appearance, maintaining the dignity of an official's daughter.

She said softly: "My father had a reputation for talent in his hometown; the teachers at the school, his classmates, and even the local officials can prove it. My father let the servant impersonate him just to deal with my grandfather and grandmother, and never let the servant take the examination for him.

Actually, I also have doubts in my heart. If he was impersonated by a servant, why hasn't he been exposed by his colleagues in the officialdom for so many years, and why has no one ever doubted him. Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, can you help me find out the truth? I also want to know what is going on with all this."

"My fees are very expensive!"

Chen Guanlou's sentence directly made Dou Shu very awkward.

She clenched her handkerchief, rubbing it, and only after a while did she say: "I... I can come up with one thousand taels. Over the years, I have saved more than one hundred taels, and the rest will need to use a part of my dowry. Can you give me some time to raise the silver?"

Chen Guanlou laughed instantly. "Give me ten taels of silver as a deposit."

Dou Shu looked confused, seemingly not daring to believe it.

Chen Guanlou continued: "If the truth is as you said, then, after you get the Dou family's property, remember to settle the bill. If he is indeed your father, you don't have to worry, I will find your father to settle the final payment. No one dares to owe money to the Jiang Jiang Yucheng of the Heavenly Prison."

"This... I..." For a moment, Dou Shu was incoherent, looking very helpless, and started crying again from excitement.

Chen Guanlou frowned slightly; he really didn't like listening to people cry, so annoying!

Dou Shu noticed his emotional change, stopped crying immediately, and performed a great bow. "Thank you, Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen, thank you, Zhenren! You are the only ones who believe me. Thank you!"

"Have you told anyone else?"

"I complained a few words to a close friend, and she always thought I was overthinking, being mistreated by my stepmother, and having unrealistic fantasies. I also hope I am fantasizing, but why did they all die?"

Yes!

Why did the Dou family all die.

Even if they encountered a curse, why was the branch of Dou Anzhi fine, only the wife died, and after marrying a new wife, they kept having children, and the children all survived.

Even if not for Dou Shu, for his own curiosity, Chen Guanlou would check it out.

He was just that gossipy!

Dou Shu put down ten taels of silver, performed a great bow again, and thanked him repeatedly.

Pure Yang Zhenren instructed the Daoist boy to send Dou Shu away.

"Ten taels of silver?"

Pure Yang Zhenren sneered.

"Since when did Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen become such a good person."

"I have always been a good person. I am a great good citizen."

Pure Yang Zhenren wanted to spit on the other person after hearing this, shameless.

"Since you are a great good person, settle the eight thousand taels for me."

"One thing is one thing. If you were a woman, young and beautiful, eight thousand taels would be settled. You are an old man, how can you have the face to ask me for money."

Pure Yang Zhenren was almost angered to death. "You dislike me for being old, and you still owe me money. You owe an old man's money, do you have any face?"

"I don't have any face! You can sell a few pills and it will be more than eight thousand taels; I owe your money, I owe it righteously!" Jiang Jiang Yucheng Chen instantly transformed into Chen the Shameless! ===== CHAPTER 1434 =====
