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

Chapter 467 A Visitor
Zhang Yunniang's heart trembled when she heard this.

Xie Xingchuan himself did not think it was a big deal. He shook his head and said, "I have never eaten it before, so I want to taste the flavor of Yuanxiao."

Niuniu tilted her head and said, "Didn't my brother buy food in the store?"

Xie Xingchuan was particularly stubborn on this issue: "I want to eat at home."

Zhang Yunniang turned her head away, secretly wiped away the tears on her face, and said, "As long as you want to eat it, mother will cook it for you. I'm just afraid that you will think mother's cooking skills are not good enough."

Xie Xingchuan looked at her and said, "How could that be? The food that mother cooks is the most delicious in the world."

Zhang Yunniang's lips curled up when she heard this.

Niu Niu suddenly reached out and touched Xie Xingchuan's face.

If someone else had done this, Xie Xingchuan’s gun would have stabbed at them, but it was Niu Niu who did this.

"My dear, do you want to play with your brother's mask?" Xie Xingchuan asked with a smile.

Niuniu's little hand fell on the scar on his face: "Brother, this looks like a burn."

Xie Xingchuan nodded casually.

The little girl asked, "Brother, you never told us how your face got burned? Who hurt you, brother?"

Xie Xingchuan said nonchalantly: "A real man never has to rely on his looks to make a living. This is not a particularly important matter."

Although Zhang Yunniang was also worried, she did not dare to ask. When her daughter took the initiative to speak, she also pulled the handkerchief and looked concerned.

Niu Niu was not so easily fooled: "Brother, I think it is very serious. I asked Doctor Yan before, but unfortunately, he said that if it is not treated immediately, this old scar cannot be repaired."

Xie Xingchuan patted his sister's head and said, "Just think of it as my carelessness."

When Niuniu heard this, her eyes suddenly widened: "I understand! What my brother said means that it was someone else who harmed my brother! It wasn't my own carelessness!"

When Zhang Yunniang heard this, she almost couldn't hold the spatula in her hand, and looked at Xie Xingchuan with pleading eyes.

"In the winter when I was three years old, my mother accidentally knocked over a candlestick and some wax dripped onto my face, which is why this happened," said Xie Xingchuan.

Zhang Yuniang felt as if her heart was being pierced by thousands of sharp needles.

"Bad guy! How dare you bully a child!" Niu Niu slammed the table in anger.

Xie Xingchuan lowered his head slightly, frowned, and said, "She was just careless."

Niuniu was still angry: "How could he be so careless when he's that old? My brother's whole face is covered with scars, where did he get so much candle oil?"

"I'm not in pain anymore, don't worry about me." Xie Xingchuan said.

In order to divert the attention of his mother and sister, he deliberately made an exaggerated expression: "Mom, my sister's food tastes better, I seem to be hungry again!"

Niuniu generously said: "I will share all my food with my brother!"

Seeing that her son was unwilling to continue talking, Zhang Yunniang did not ask any further questions. After making breakfast for Niu Niu, she ran to Gu Mingda like a flash.

"I want my son back. I don't want him to suffer in the Xie family and be tortured by Mrs. Xie..." Zhang Yuniang said crying.

Gu Mingda hugged his wife in his arms and asked her in detail what happened in the kitchen. After listening, his fists clenched instantly.

"I'll find a way... Don't worry..." Gu Mingda promised. Gu Mingda always kept the favor in mind, but now it seems that this favor has to be split in two. His son has always been very secretive about Mrs. Xie, but in comparison, his tone when he mentioned General Xie was much more normal.

Although General Xie is strict and old-fashioned, everything he does seems to be aimed at cultivating a qualified heir to the Xie family.

Xie Xingchuan obviously understood this very well, so when he talked about the pain he had experienced in practicing martial arts in the past, he felt that it was all worth it.

In comparison, what Mrs. Xie did was more like venting her anger on a child.

"There have been some clues during this period. When I have more information, I will inform General Xie and see how he will handle it." Gu Mingda comforted.

After crying, Zhang Yunniang's eyes were as red and swollen as walnuts. "You go and stay with the children. I'll look for them after my eyesight heals."

Gu Mingda nodded.

Today is the Lantern Festival, which is the last day of the New Year holiday. Tomorrow, those who should go to school will go to school, and those who should do errands will do errands. At this moment, no one is spoiling the fun and urging the children to do their homework. Several children are playing in the warm room.

"Daddy is here! Can you tell us a story?" Niu Niu was the first to notice Gu Mingda.

The other children were also staring at him with sparkling eyes.

Gu Mingda just thought it was funny. He had just taken two steps when the doorman suddenly ran over.

"Master, a guest has arrived. He refused to say who he was and only handed over this jade pendant."

This is a dragon-shaped jade pendant that is green all over and has excellent water content.

Gu Mingda only took one look and couldn't help but twitch his eyelids. He said to the children, "We have a distinguished guest. Daddy will tell you a story later."

He originally wanted to let Niu Niu go with him to greet the guests, but looking at the huge temperature difference between inside and outside the warm room, he couldn't bear to let his daughter suffer this injustice.

When he arrived at the gate, he saw from afar several servants surrounding the emperor and the empress dowager. He immediately stepped forward and was about to bow and greet them.

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Alright, I am traveling incognito this time, so just treat it as an ordinary visitor."

The emperor put on a full show and even asked Qian Rongsheng, who was standing beside him, to deliver the prepared New Year gift.

Gu Mingda asked his servant to take it, and he felt relieved. It was so cold, and if the emperor was willing to give Bai Longyu a dose, it would save his family a lot of trouble.

"Old Madam and Mr. Li, please follow me to the warm room for a chat." Gu Mingda said.

He turned to the attendant beside him and said, "Go to the warm room and tell the young masters and young ladies to get ready to meet the guests."

Just as the attendant was about to take action, the emperor stopped him again: "No, this is good enough. I also want to see what your children are busy with at home on weekdays."

Gu Mingda had no choice but to agree.

The queen mother was thoughtful and asked Gu Mingda: "Is Niuniu doing well at home? How is her sleep? Is her health getting better?"

"Don't worry, old lady, Niuniu is fine."

The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief: "It's cold in winter, and children are most likely to catch a cold. She just recovered from a serious illness and is doing well. I'm relieved."

Gu Mingda couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Queen Mother really cared about Niu Niu, otherwise she wouldn't have thought about it so carefully. She was no different from an ordinary old lady who loved her granddaughter.

As the group of people walked outside the warm room, they heard Niu Niu's voice coming from inside.

"I like to listen to Daddy telling me stories about Emperor Yan. He is my favorite emperor!"
