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

Chapter 302 I'm glad you can come back

"Is this true?" Lady Xian Guogong frowned and asked Nanny Li beside her.

The banquet was finally over, and before Lady Xian had time to rest, she heard about the "Fuwa".

She frowned and said, "It's my son's wedding day, and this top scholar came to steal the limelight, and his daughter is also restless, giving herself such a title. She is determined to step on my family to become famous."

Nanny Li has served Lady Xian Guogong for decades, and she still cannot understand Lady Xian Guogong's strange train of thought. However, this does not stop her from aiding and abetting the evil. She said, "You should not make close friends with this family. Lady, just stay away from them. I don't know why the eldest master likes them so much."

"Yes, why does Jing'er like this family so much? He even came to me and said that he should let Jingshu play more with the little girl named Gu. It's really a joke. My daughter comes from a prominent family. It would lower her status if she stayed with such a poor family from the countryside." Lady Xianguogong said casually.

Before the master and servant had finished their conversation, someone came in to report that it was Madam Li from the second house who wanted to see them.

Lady Xian Guogong frowned slightly: "Why did she come to see me?"

Lady Xian of Duke Xian would only give Madam Li some face when she needed her. When she didn't need her, Lady Xian of Duke Xian would be rude to her.

Mrs. Li also understood her sister-in-law's personality, so she would not come to her unless she wanted to plot against her sister-in-law.

Over the years, the two sisters-in-law seem to be very harmonious despite their estranged relationship.

"What brings you here? I thought you were too busy with the old lady." Lady Xian Guogong spoke in a sarcastic tone.

The wife of Duke Xian was old and ill, and Madam Li, as the daughter-in-law of the second wife, had been serving by her bedside. Because of this, Madam Li became quite famous in the capital, overshadowing the wife of Duke Xian for a time.

Madam Li did not care about the intentions of the Duke Xian. She smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, Jingshu is now being raised by her mother. I have watched Jingshu grow up. I know that sister-in-law has high hopes for Jingshu. Jingshu is also the only girl of this generation in our mansion. If I don't say anything about some things I have seen, it will ruin the child's future."

Lady Xianguogong found these words irritating. As a mother, she was deprived of the right to raise Qin Jingshu, which was not something that made her happy.

But her daughter's future was more important, so Lady Xian Guogong could only ask with a cold face, "What did you see?"

Madam Li didn't care about her sister-in-law's expression and acted like a good person: "Today I saw Jingshu getting along well with the girl from Gu Zhuangyuan's family. After all, that girl was born in the countryside, so her behavior is inevitably a bit vulgar. I'm just afraid that Jingshu will get too close to her and learn those country ways."

When Lady Xian Guogong heard this, she raised her eyebrows and said, "It's rare that we agree with each other. I don't like that child either. He doesn't look that good, but everyone praises him like he's nothing."

Lady Xianguogong wanted to scold others for being ignorant, but when she thought that the person who liked Niu Niu the most was the eldest princess, she was forced to swallow her words.

Mrs. Li now only felt that Niu Niu and the wife of Duke Xianguo had similar eyebrows and eyes, and she was still unable to confirm Niu Niu's true identity. However, she did not expect that the wife of Duke Xianguo already hated Niu Niu so much.

The purpose of her making this special trip was to keep Niu Niu away from the Duke's Mansion and away from Lady Xian, the Duke's wife, and Qin Jingshu.

Only by staying away from her would Lady Xianguo not doubt Jingshu's identity.

Mrs. Li relaxed and was happy to compliment him: "It turns out that the eldest sister-in-law has already made up her mind. I was too talkative."

Lady Xian Guogong still looked down on others and said casually, "It's hard for you to take such care of Jingshu. It's worth it for Jingshu to call you aunt."

Lady Xian of Duke Xian's words were harsh, but Madam Li still had no intention of arguing with her. Instead, she politely stood up and said goodbye.

Only the master and servant were left in the room. Li Ma said with a smile, "Madam, the second lady really cares about the eldest lady."

These words, which were slightly reminding, did not make sense to Lady Xian of the Duke's Mansion. Instead, she said complacently, "She knows that our Jingshu has a great future. How could she not be dedicated? It's a pity that she is only her aunt, not her biological mother. No matter how good she is to Jingshu, in Jingshu's heart, I, her biological mother, come first." On the Gu family's return carriage, only Niu Niu was laughing and talking about what she had seen and heard in the Duke's Mansion. Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang were both worried, but they still forced themselves to listen to their daughter.

"Jingshu said her elder brother has a big study room with many, many books in it. She said she didn't have time to show it to me today, so she will take me to see it next time."

"Jingshu said she has a very, very big box, which is specially used to store various palace flowers. It is taller than me. She said that if I look back and see the ones I like, she will give them to me..."

Niu Niu happily shared it with her parents.

Gu Mingda touched his daughter's head and asked gently, "Does Niuniu like palace flowers very much? I will ask the carriage to go to the market now."

Niuniu shook her head and said, "Daddy, I don't like Gonghua, I like my friends."

Gu Mingda smiled and said, "Daddy misunderstood me. Niuniu, do you still remember what Daddy told you about how to make friends?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously: "It has to be a give and take. Don't worry, Daddy, I remember it all. If a friend treats me well, I will treat her well too. Niuniu knows how to make friends the best!"

Gu Mingda smiled and touched his daughter's little head.

Niuniu tilted her head, looked at Gu Mingda, then looked at Zhang Yuniang, and said, "Dad and Mom both look so weird."

Gu Mingda was stunned.

The little girl frowned and thought for a moment, then made a strange analogy: "It's like my parents are in the carriage, but their minds are already somewhere else."

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang never expected that their distracted thoughts were noticed by their daughter.

"My dear, it's your parents' fault. You should have listened to me carefully." The couple apologized to their daughter together.

Niuniu shook her head and asked, "Are mom and dad worried about something? Can I help?"

Looking at his daughter's pure and beautiful eyes, Gu Mingda didn't know where to start.

"My dear, if someone asked you to leave your parents and live in her house for a while, would you be willing?" Gu Mingda asked carefully.

Niuniu asked, "Are we going to Uncle Sun's house?"

"It's not Uncle Sun, it's the home of someone I don't know." Gu Mingda said.

"Why should I live in the home of someone I don't know? Can't I just not go?" Niu Niu wondered.

Gu Mingda sighed and said, "If that person asks, you can't not go."

Niuniu asked: "How long will you stay? Can I come back?"

"I don't know how long you'll have to stay here, maybe a month or half a year, but Daddy promises that he will do his best to bring you home."

Zhang Yunniang even took out her handkerchief, fearing that her daughter would cry.

Unexpectedly, Niuniu looked relieved: "I'm glad you're back. I was just afraid I'd never see you again."
