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

Chapter 301: Thankful
When the official's wife heard this, she curled her lips and said with contempt, "What's the use of having a daughter? In the end, she will be given away to someone else's family. She is like water spilled on the ground."

When Niu Niu heard this, she turned around and looked at Zhang Yuniang in confusion.

It seemed like he was expressing his doubts to his mother.

Zhang Yunniang touched her daughter's soft head soothingly, and was about to help her daughter refute.

But I didn't expect the child's mouth was even faster.

"But you are a girl, Auntie. Do you think you are useless? Do you also think you are a puddle of water?"

The little girl spoke in a childish voice, but with a sharpness that ordinary people didn't have.

The official's wife, who had been smiling, suddenly turned cold when she heard this.

"You little girl, didn't anyone at home teach you the rules? How do you talk to your elders?" The official's wife couldn't argue with Niu Niu, so she could only use her status as an elder to put pressure on her.

Zhang Yunniang was very angry when she heard this and opened her mouth to refute.

But she didn't expect that someone else would get there first.

"I didn't know that Madam Cheng was so self-deprecating." The eldest princess' voice reached everyone's ears.

Madam Cheng could rebuke Niuniu without restraint, but she did not dare to confront the eldest princess. She hurriedly explained, "Your Highness, please forgive me. I did not mean that. It's just that this child is too sharp-tongued and lacks education..."

The princess said expressionlessly, "This child was raised by her parents themselves. Her father is my son's mentor. Are you talking about my son's mentor, the number one scholar personally selected by His Majesty, and saying that he has a bad upbringing?"

Mrs. Cheng didn't expect that the eldest princess would suddenly put a big hat on her.

People in Beijing have always been arrogant. Although Gu Mingda is the top scholar, he has no foundation and comes from a remote village. Mrs. Cheng can't help but look down on him.

The eldest princess said in front of all the wives of officials: "Mrs. Cheng is well-educated. She doesn't feel ashamed of bullying the weak. When I meet Mr. Zhang in the future, I will ask him if he also thinks his daughter is useless."

Mrs. Cheng naturally didn't dare to respond. The eldest princess was a girl. If she really asked her husband about it, she wouldn't know how he would deal with herself.

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I am ignorant and self-deprecating. I just made others laugh. Your Highness, please don't take it to heart." Mrs. Cheng apologized repeatedly.

But the eldest princess still refused to give in.

Mrs. Cheng had no choice but to turn to Niuniu and Zhang Yuniang and say, "Mrs. Gu, Miss Gu, I apologize for offending you just now."

Zhang Yunniang looked at the eldest princess, and the eldest princess nodded slightly.

Zhang Yunniang then said, "Mrs. Cheng, you are too kind. I know that you are eager to have a child, but we are girls, and we are usually trapped in the inner house. We should take care of ourselves. How can you say such self-deprecating words?"

When Mrs. Cheng heard this, she still disagreed in her heart, but she did not continue to refute it. She just kept nodding and agreeing, hoping to get over this matter as soon as possible.

After this incident, those who came to pray for blessings lost interest and gradually dispersed for fear of becoming the next target of the eldest princess's killing to scare the monkeys.

The eldest princess waved her hand, and Niu Niu trotted to her side.

The eldest princess, dressed in gorgeous clothes and with her hair full of pearls and jade, had difficulty moving around. However, when she saw Niu Niu running towards her like a happy little deer, she couldn't help herself, so she bent down and picked Niu Niu up.

The eldest princess weighed it and said, "It seems a little heavier than last time." Niu Niu and the eldest princess had not met many times, but she felt that the eldest princess was very kind and was therefore very willing to get close to her.

"Aunt Princess, I ate well." Niu Niu replied crisply.

When the princess heard this, she said, "I can see that your belly is getting bigger again."

Niu Niu was so scared that her belly shrank back on the spot.

The eldest princess couldn't help laughing at the little girl's cute behavior, and she reached out and patted Niu Niu's belly.

Zhang Yunniang bowed to the princess and said, "Thanks to your Highness for rescuing us, otherwise we would have offended someone again."

The eldest princess said casually: "Although you have not been in the capital for long, you should be cautious in everything, but you don't have to be afraid of trouble just by not causing it."

The eldest princess' words were full of support, and Zhang Yuniang was naturally grateful after hearing that.

The princess turned around and asked Niuniu: "My dear, you are so capable, can you really make anyone pregnant?"

Zhang Yunniang was not completely ignorant of the current situation. When she heard this, she immediately became nervous, fearing that Niuniu had said something ridiculous and would be arrested and taken to the palace.

Niuniu shook her head and said, "I don't think I have the ability to do that. I only know that the aunt in front is very pretty and I like her. I think she should have a baby and the baby will like her as a mother."

When the princess heard this, her eyes narrowed, and then she asked with a smile, "Will Niuniu get pregnant if she likes someone?"

Niuniu tilted her head slightly, thought seriously for a long time, and said, "I don't know."

The eldest princess did not continue to ask questions and insisted on coming up with a result.

"Go play, your sister Ling is waiting for you."

After the princess sent Niuniu and Shen Ling away, she said to Zhang Yuniang, "I don't know if Niuniu really has the ability to help people get pregnant, but too many people have heard these words today. Whether it's true or not, I can't hide it anymore."

Zhang Yuniang's face turned pale.

The princess continued, "You should know something about the situation in the palace. Mother has been worshipping Buddha and burning incense all year round in order to pray for a son or daughter for my brother. Rather than waiting for someone with ulterior motives to plot against you in the future, it is better for me to say this. You can relax and I will ask mother to protect Niuniu."

Zhang Yuniang didn't know how to answer for a moment.

The princess did not keep urging him, but said, "When you go back, discuss it carefully with the champion and give an answer as soon as possible."

Because of this incident, Zhang Yunniang, who had originally thought it was just an ordinary banquet, felt heavy in her heart. Even though the banquet at the Duke of Xian's Mansion was extremely luxurious, Zhang Yunniang still had no appetite.

But Niu Niu was completely unaware of the adults' worries. Her mind and eyes were filled with delicious food. While she was eating with relish, she saw Qin Jingshu out of the corner of her eye.

There was an old nanny standing behind Qin Jingshu. She was the one who had urged her to go to the flower hall to meet the guests. Although Qin Jingshu was holding chopsticks, she was not allowed to pick up food. She could only let the old nanny serve the food and was not allowed to eat more than one bite.

Coincidentally, at this moment, Qin Jingshu also looked at Niu Niu, and she gave Niu Niu a smile that was uglier than crying.

Niu Niu was so scared when she saw this situation that she shivered. She saw with her own eyes what Qin Jingshu complained about last time, and Niu Niu felt heartbroken.

Niu Niu felt that eating was the most important thing. She couldn't help but feel fortunate that she was not the daughter of Duke Xian's Mansion. Otherwise, what would be the fun in life if she lived like Qin Jingshu.
