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

Chapter 460: Copying the Filial Piety Sutra

Mrs. Lin looked back at Mrs. Xie with disbelief.

"Brother-in-law's children from another woman? They are all so promising, why don't you think of something to do?" Mrs. Lin asked.

It was normal for her to think this way. After all, the fact that Xie Xingchuan found his biological parents inexplicably was too fantastic. Her first reaction was to suppress the concubine's son and not let him surpass Xie Xingchuan.

Mrs. Xie looked grim and didn't explain.

Xie Xingchuan said: "They are my brothers and sisters in the Gu family."

Mrs. Lin immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So that's how it is. From what you said, Xingchuan, it seems that you have an especially close relationship with the Guo family."

Xie Xingchuan said: "They are my real brothers and sisters."

Mrs. Lin still didn't understand. After she finished her polite words, she hurriedly mentioned Lin Tao: "Xingchuan, you also know your cousin. Although he is not as successful as you, he is usually a well-behaved and sensible child. This time he was harmed by others and got into trouble. You are cousins, you have to help him."

Xie Xingchuan didn't know anything about the Lin family, and was looking at the other person with surprise.

Mrs. Lin said, "The Gu family is on good terms with the Princess's residence. Go talk to your godfather and ask him to ask the Princess to show some mercy and not torment your cousin."

Xie Xingchuan frowned and asked carefully again, finally knowing the whole story.

When he was at Gu's house, he heard Gu Mingda say that Shen Changfeng was sent out by the emperor to do some business and had not returned yet. However, he did not expect that he had actually returned a long time ago, but was just injured.

"The father of the Gu family is not well-informed in the court. You should quickly send someone to the Gu family to tell them that Shen Changfeng was injured." Xie Xingchuan's first reaction was to let Xiaosong remind the Gu family.

Mrs. Lin's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Xiaosong and said, "Tell Mr. Gu by the way to ask him to talk to Young Master Shen and stop being so petty."

Xiaosong looked at Xie Xingchuan with an inquiring look.

Xie Xingchuan said unhappily: "Don't you remember who your master is?"

Xiaosong immediately broke away from Mrs. Lin and ran out with his feet smoking.

Mrs. Lin immediately turned around and complained to Mrs. Xie: "Sister, look at your son, he doesn't recognize his relatives!"

Without waiting for Madam Xie's response, Xie Xingchuan said directly, "Since my mother has asked me to copy the Filial Piety Classic, I will get busy now."

After saying this, he left without even looking up.

Mrs. Lin was so angry that she jumped up and grabbed Mrs. Xie: "Sister, you should take care of him. He will definitely not dare to disobey you!"

Mrs. Xie was willing to face obstacles outside, but she was unwilling to bow to her son. She said confidently: "You can just persuade Xie Xingchuan, why do you have to let me come forward? I'm not the godson of the Gu family!"

When Mrs. Lin heard this, she turned the pressure to her daughter Lin Xueruo.

"Xue Rou, you only have this one brother, you can't ignore him!" Mrs. Lin held her daughter's hand and repeated these words over and over again.

A trace of disgust flashed across Lin Xueruo's eyes, but she still said, "Don't worry, mother. I'll go and try."

She thought about her relationship with Xie Xingchuan. She never thought that the other party might hate her. She just felt that he had already been a fish in her pond.

Lin Xueruo and her maid chased out, but this time Xie Xingchuan seemed to be exceptionally fast. No matter how hard she tried, she could only see Xie Xingchuan's back as he entered Zhige Courtyard from a distance.

When she got to the gate of the courtyard, she was stopped by the servants. "I want to see my cousin, tell him to come!" Lin Xueruo said to the servants at the gate confidently.

The servant came out quickly and said, "My cousin, my master is busy copying the Book of Filial Piety and cannot see you for the moment."

Lin Xueruo was furious when she heard this: "Why would he not want to see me? Didn't you tell him clearly that it was me who came?"

The servant looked at her with a strange look and said, "My cousin, I dare not lie. Please go back. The young master will see you when he wants to."

Lin Xueruo stomped her feet in anger, but she did not leave. Instead, she continued to wait outside the door. She just couldn't believe that Xie Xingchuan would really let her suffer the cold outside in such a freezing weather!
Lin Xueruo waited for half an hour and was shivering with cold. The heater in her hands had long lost its heat. She cursed Xie Xingchuan countless times in her heart.

"Miss, why don't we go back first? Don't catch a cold!" the maid advised.

Lin Xueruo stamped her feet and thought to herself that Xie Xingchuan was so heartless. She would ignore him again!

As soon as she returned to her residence with the help of her maid, Mrs. Lin immediately surrounded her.

"Is it done? Did that kid Xie Xingchuan agree?"

Lin Xueruo shook her head.

Mrs. Lin immediately stretched out her finger and poked her daughter's forehead hard: "He hasn't agreed yet, so what are you doing back here? Keep waiting there! Keep pestering him to agree!"

"He doesn't want to see me. I can't always wait at the gate of his yard. If it gets out, my reputation will be ruined. Mom, you should think of other ways." Lin Xueruo said.

Mrs. Lin squinted at her daughter and said, "Why do you need fame? You're going to marry him anyway! So what? We're not lying on the same bed! Besides, as long as you can save your brother, what does it matter if you sleep with him?"

Lin Xueruo's eyes darkened at her frank words. Although she knew that her brother's status in her parents' hearts was much higher than hers, she still felt uncomfortable with such straightforward and contemptuous words.

"Mom, if you really want to find someone to sleep with him, then let Lin Xuexuan come. Anyway, we are not officially married, and I will not agree no matter what!" Lin Xueruo said angrily.

She still had a glimmer of hope in her heart that perhaps she could find a husband with better conditions than Xie Xingchuan, and she was unwilling to lose her virginity before marriage no matter what.

Mrs. Lin was so angry that she stamped her feet: "Why did I raise such an evil person like you!"

Lin Xueruo is well versed in the art of diverting trouble: "Mom, instead of pestering Xie Xingchuan, you might as well go directly to your aunt. Your aunt's words are more effective than anyone else's! Besides, I have also seen in private that Xie Xingchuan's relationship with the Gu family does not seem to be that of a godfather or godmother. Your aunt must be hiding something from you."

At this time, the Gu family did not know that they had been plotted against. Xiaosong did not dare to say much about the Xie family. He just mentioned that Shen Changfeng was injured and left.

"Isn't it inappropriate to visit on New Year's Eve?" Zhang Yunniang was a little hesitant. After all, this day was too special, and going to someone else's house would be too abrupt.

Niuniu looked worried: "I haven't seen Brother Changfeng for many days. I wonder if he is seriously injured?"

Gu Mingda thought for a moment and said, "Let's ask a few kids to go. They are playmates after all, so it's not too abrupt to come now. I'll go visit him after the New Year."

Niuniu took out the New Year gifts that she had prepared for the Shen brothers and sisters in advance: "After seeing my gift, maybe Brother Changfeng will get better faster."

When the Gu family's carriage arrived at the Princess's Mansion, the originally busy Princess actually took time out to meet the children.

The princess held Niuniu in her arms as usual. She thought the Gu family came to intercede for the Xie family, so she deliberately asked, "I heard that General Xie stayed at your house as soon as he returned to the capital. Why didn't he come with him this time?"
