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

Chapter 461 A random couple
"Brother has returned to the Xie family!" Niu Niu answered proactively.

The eldest princess said casually: "You like him very much."

Niuniu held her little face in her hands and said, "Because he is my brother. Princess aunt, you may not know that Brother Xie is the second brother in our family."

This was the first time the princess had heard of this. When she heard this, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes: "What a coincidence?"

She only knew that Xie Xingchuan was the godson of the Gu couple, but she didn't expect that he was exactly the second son the couple had been looking for for many years. Even if she asked the storyteller in the teahouse, she probably wouldn't be able to tell such a coincidence.

Niu Niu nodded vigorously: "Second brother has saved us many times. It must be because he and we have a tacit understanding that he can save us just in time every time."

The eldest princess laughed and said, "Then it really is fate."

She waited for a while, and several children from the Gu family talked about some details of the recognition of their relatives, but no one mentioned the Lin family.

"Okay, I'll let your sister Ling take you to find Changfeng. He's not seriously injured. He just has a few cuts on his face, which are now scabby." said the eldest princess.

Although she said that, everyone still waited until they actually saw Shen Changfeng and confirmed that he was not seriously injured before they felt relieved.

"Brother Changfeng, I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much." Niu Niu has never been stingy in expressing her inner feelings.

Shen Changfeng also became visibly happy and said, "I wanted to go find you guys, but my mother told me not to go out during this period of time."

Niuniu tilted her head and asked, "Why do you have to go out less?"

Shen Changfeng explained: "My mother said this is for the sacrificed people."

News of what happened to Shen Changfeng in Mizhou has not yet reached the capital, and the eldest princess plans to wait until after the New Year to give him a good beating.

Niuniu was full of curiosity: "Who sacrificed? Brother Changfeng, you seem to have been through a lot."

The little girl's simple words directly touched Shen Changfeng's heart.

Shen Changfeng had been a playboy for more than ten years. He only started working as a clerk this year. Just as he was gradually maturing and becoming able to stand on his own, someone suddenly died in front of him to protect him. The sudden shock caused him to have nightmares for several nights in a row.

Even though the family of the dead guard had received preferential treatment from the Princess's Mansion and was guaranteed to have no worries about food and clothing in the future, they did not blame Shen Changfeng, but Shen Changfeng was still thinking about it in his heart.

"I was on business in Mizhou and encountered some trouble. A guard was beaten to death in order to protect me." When Shen Changfeng talked about this, the pain in his heart surged up again.

There were children everywhere, and they all looked upset when they heard this.

Shen Ling comforted him: "Brother, this is not your fault."

Shen Changfeng smiled bitterly: "I didn't kill Bo Ren, but Bo Ren died because of me."

Niuniu reached out and touched Shen Changfeng's eyes: "Brother, you have dark circles under your eyes. Is it because you have been thinking about him all the time?"

Shen Changfeng nodded slightly.

Niuniu asked again: "Did he take the initiative to protect you?"

Shen Changfeng nodded again. Niuniu said, "He wants to protect you, which means he thinks you are important."

Shen Changfeng shook his head: "He thinks I am important because I am the emperor's nephew and the eldest princess's son, so he will do his best to protect me, not because I am worthy of him doing so."

Gu Yan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke up: "Brother Shen, you can think of this, which is already a thousand times better than others. If others encounter such a thing, they will probably think that he is just a guard and it doesn't matter if he dies."

Over the past year, Gu Yan had seen many children of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in Baiyun Academy. Their contemptuous attitude towards human life made Gu Yan's hair stand on end.

Shen Changfeng shook his head: "Even if I thought of it, what can I do? The dead cannot be resurrected. A living person died in front of me, but I couldn't save him."

Niuniu held his hand comfortingly and said, "Brother Changfeng, you can take care of his family like he did. It's true that he can't come back to life after he dies, but his spirit in heaven can get some comfort. Cheer up and live for him."

I don't know which word touched Shen Changfeng, he perked up on the spot, and then said: "The guard's parents have passed away, and it was their elderly grandparents who took care of them. They originally thought that the guard would make it through, and life would slowly get better, but the guard passed away, and then his sister's fiancé's family broke off the engagement."

Niuniu immediately said, "Since his sister's engagement has been broken off, then you should find a way to find her a good marriage again."

Shen Ling said at the side: "Niuniu, my mother has already arranged this matter and is waiting to find a good family for her in the spring."

Shen Changfeng suddenly said, "People outside the inner house have no way of understanding what's going on. There are many families that are ostentatious. Some mothers-in-law look kind, but they bully their daughters-in-law behind their backs. Some families seem to be well-off, but they actually live on the pawning of their daughters-in-law's dowries..."

Shen Ling had a bad feeling and said, "Brother, are you still worried about what Mom is doing? Besides, with the Princess's Mansion here, no one dares to bully her."

Shen Changfeng said, "I want to marry her."

Shen Ling took a deep breath and said, "Brother, mother won't agree to this. I was originally planning to go to the Li family to ask for marriage after the new year! This matter is almost the same as what the Li family said, except for the clear path! Do you want mother to be someone who goes back on her word?"

Shen Changfeng remained silent, obviously he had made up his mind.

Shen Ling was so anxious that she was running around in circles.

Niuniu suddenly asked, "Brother Changfeng, are you willing to live with someone who hates you?"

Shen Changfeng shook his head: "I don't hate Miss Xu."

Niuniu asked, "But she is not the daughter-in-law that Princess Auntie is looking forward to."

Shen Changfeng still insisted: "Mother is not a bad person. Even if she doesn't like Miss Xu, she won't make things difficult for her."

"But by doing this, Miss Xu will lose a mother-in-law who might have loved her very much." Niu Niu said.

"The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is not that good." Shen Changfeng said.

Niuniu shook her head: "But my mother and my grandmother are like real mother and daughter. Sister Xu has lost her parents and brother, so maybe she wants a mother-in-law who is like a mother to her."

The most Shen Changfeng could do was to force his mother to accept this daughter-in-law, but he had no way of making his mother treat Miss Xu as her own daughter.

Niuniu continued, "Besides, Miss Xu may not want to marry you. Maybe she likes a brave man like her brother?"
