After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, he became the favorite of everyone in the capital

Chapter 239 I am the Crown Prince
When Niuniu heard this, she immediately waved her fist and said, "Evil will be punished!"

The little girl's timely summary made everyone laugh.

"I will do good deeds in the future. Maybe one day someone really powerful will accept me as his apprentice!" said the little girl innocently.

No one took these words seriously, but a little boy at the next table suddenly spoke up.

"Little sister, I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I just wanted to tell you that if you do good deeds and have good intentions for the purpose of making a profit, it would seem too utilitarian. This is not the way to do good."

The little boy looked to be seven or eight years old. He was wearing gorgeous clothes and the jade pendant around his waist was extremely luxurious.

Shen Changfeng looked over when he heard the voice, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Xiao Shijiu, you just pick a fight with anyone you meet outside?"

The little boy seemed to have just noticed Shen Changfeng. He immediately stood up and bowed to him.

"Uncle Changfeng." The little boy called respectfully.

Shen Changfeng looked towards him again and saw two teenagers about seventeen or eighteen years old.

The two men stood up reluctantly at this time and followed the little boy to call Shen Changfeng "uncle".

Shen Changfeng explained to Gu Mingda: "Master, these are the grandchildren of my mother's cousin."

Gu Mingda immediately understood that these people were members of the royal family, and he didn't know which prince they were descendants of.

"This is my mentor, Mr. Gu. Why don't you come over and greet him?"

When the three heard Shen Changfeng introduce Gu Mingda, they immediately knew that he was a serious teacher. They, the younger generations, could not play dumb and ran over to salute Gu Mingda.

Niu Niu looked at them curiously.

The youngest boy, Li Xuan, even though he knew that Niuniu was the daughter of Master Shen Changfeng, still said in a stern manner: "A gentleman should follow his heart and not be too utilitarian."

Niuniu tilted her head and said in a matter-of-fact tone: "But my father also said that a gentleman is judged by deeds rather than intentions. It is normal to do things for rewards."

The Gu family doesn't have any teaching about doing things without expecting anything in return.

Even Gu Yan, who was always rather old-fashioned, said: "When I do good things, although I never expect any reward, if I really get a reward, I will not refuse it, and I will feel that the effort is worth it."

When Li Xuan heard this, his brows furrowed so much that they could kill a fly. He still stiffened his neck and said, "I still cannot accept this. It is not the behavior of a gentleman to only seek rewards."

Niuniu raised her little face and asked Gu Mingda in a crisp voice: "Daddy, do you think I am right or wrong?"

Gu Mingda asked: "What do you think?"

Niuniu hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't think I said anything wrong."

Gu Mingda smiled when he heard this and said, "Since you think you are not wrong, then you are not wrong. Be more resolute next time."

A thoughtful look appeared on Niuniu's face. After a moment, the little girl said to Li Xuan confidently, "I am not wrong. Since you don't agree with me, then I don't agree with you either."

Li Xuan is about the same age as Gu Zhao. He has never experienced such a situation. As far as he can remember, he has either persuaded others or others have been persuaded by him, and everything will eventually come to a conclusion.

"How can this be possible? The more we argue, the clearer the truth becomes. How can we just let it go?"

Niuniu said, "Not all truths in this world are clear."

Li Xuan just felt extremely uncomfortable, as if he was suspended in mid-air, neither going up nor down.

Gu Mingda said: "The truth lies in people's hearts, and people's hearts are different. If you want to do good things without asking for anything in return, that's your business. If others want to do good things with something in return, that's their business. The road is wide and we can each walk on our own side."

Li Xuan still found it hard to understand, and he wanted to continue the debate with Niuniu. The little girl was already annoyed at this time, and she felt that it was rare to see such unreasonable people.

Gu Mingda didn't want to bully the kid, but seeing that the kid kept pestering him, he could only ask:

"You want my daughter to identify with you because you think such a change can help her become a truly kind person?"

Li Xuan nodded.

Gu Mingda asked again: "If my daughter agrees with your ideas and becomes a true gentleman in your eyes, will this make you feel happy?"

Li Xuan was not on guard when he heard this and nodded again.

Gu Mingda laughed and said, "Look, helping others to become true gentlemen is a good thing, but you are also doing good things with a purpose, isn't that contrary to what you call a gentleman?"

"I don't have any purpose, and I don't expect to get anything from you." Li Xuan felt very aggrieved when he said this.

But Gu Mingda said: "You hope to gain pleasure from this matter. This is your purpose."

When Li Xuan heard this, he felt like he was struck by lightning.

He had no way to refute Gu Mingda because he had spoken those words honestly.

"There is no such thing as a good deed without a purpose in this world. It's just that the rewards that people pray for are different. If you say so, then you are saying that there are no gentlemen in the world."

Gu Mingda's words were like a heavy blow to Li Xuan's heart.

After a long time, Li Xuan stood up and bowed to Gu Mingda.

"Thank you for your teachings today, Xuan will keep them in mind."

When Li Xuan's two elder brothers heard this, they looked at each other. They knew their younger brother better than anyone else. Although his brother was knowledgeable and talented, he was a stickler for details. They didn't expect that he would be persuaded by Gu Mingda so easily.

Shen Changfeng suddenly asked, "It's not a festival, why did you suddenly come to Baiyun Town?"

When Li Xuan's elder brother Li Yao heard this, a trace of guilt flashed across his face and he said, "Let's bring Xuan here to relax."

When Li Xuan heard this, he frowned and looked at his brother.

Shen Changfeng asked again: "Hasn't Ah Xuan been focusing on studying? How could he be willing to come out to relax? What happened to him? There is only one academy and one temple in Baiyun Town. There is nothing suitable for relaxation."

Li Yao was almost sweating on his forehead. Shen Changfeng kept asking him questions, and he didn't know what to say for a moment.

Li Xuan asked in confusion: "Brother, why did you lie to your uncle?"

Li Yao's forehead was sweating even more profusely at this moment.

He knew his younger brother Li Xuan too well. As expected, Li Xuan said directly: "My elder brother and second brother brought me here to see if I could meet His Majesty."

"What do you want to do when you meet His Majesty?" Shen Changfeng asked.

Li Yao wanted to cover his brother's mouth, but it was too late.

Li Xuan calmly threw out a thunder.

"I want His Majesty to like me and consider making me the crown prince."
