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

Chapter 485: Disobeying the Elders

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yunniang really wanted to follow Niuniu's words and let the matter go.

But in fact, they can't do it.

Niu Niu's situation is different from Xie Xingchuan's. Niu Niu became a child without anyone knowing.

It was intentional, and her parents didn't actually do anything wrong.

"Anyway, I don't want to go back! I don't like Lady Xian Guogong. Every time she looks at me, it's as if she's looking at something dirty!" Niu Niu said angrily.

Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang didn't know about this. When they heard their daughter say this, they both felt nervous.

Zhang Yunniang even said something that seemed very arrogant to outsiders: "How could anyone in this world not like you?"

Niuniu looked at her mother strangely and said, "I am not gold or silver, how can everyone like me?"

Zhang Yunniang looked embarrassed, but her thoughts remained unchanged. She still felt that her little daughter was the most lovable girl in the world.

Gu Mingda thought of his daughter's mysterious ability to accurately predict good and bad luck. He asked in a gentle voice, "Don't you like the wife of Duke Xian?"

Niuniu nodded vigorously: "She was the first one to dislike me! She wasn't very nice to Jingshu either, Jingshu was very afraid of her!"

Gu Mingda's face showed a thoughtful look. It was difficult for him to ignore the secret relief that flashed through his mind. If the wife of Duke Xian was a very difficult person to get along with, then wouldn't it be natural to leave his daughter at home?
Zhang Yunniang held Niu Niu in her arms and began to ask Niu Niu in detail about the few brief interactions she had with Lady Xian Guogong in the past.

It's just that because the actual time these two people had spent in contact was too short, even if Niu Niu racked her brains, she couldn't say more.

However, Zhang Yuniang and Gu Mingda created an image of a strict, cold and unkind noble lady from these few words.

They couldn't imagine whether they would still be able to smile if their daughter fell into the hands of Lady Xianguogong.

The next morning, Qin Jing came to visit and he personally brought a visiting card from the Duke of Xian's Mansion.

"Uncle Gu, when my parents and everyone in the family learned about this, they were extremely surprised and worried about my sister. They just hope that she can come tomorrow to have a chat with us." Qin Jing embellished his parents' original words.

Gu Mingda knew that this day would come sooner or later, so he did not react violently. Instead, he pulled Qin Jing aside and tested him with words.

"Uncle Gu, there are some things I won't hide from you. My mother seems to have unusual expectations for my younger sister, and my father has always hoped to have another daughter in the family. They have made up their minds to bring Niu Niu home." Qin Jing said.

"So what do you think?" Gu Mingda asked.

Qin Jing shook his head: "I think the truth should not be hidden from my parents, but I also think that Niuniu is happier than Jingshu."

Qin Jing was actually very worried in his heart. He was afraid that his decision would eventually harm Niu Niu.

Gu Mingda said: "I still want to keep my daughter at home."

Qin Jing sighed: "My parents are both very stubborn people. I'm afraid they are not so easy to talk to."

This is exactly what Gu Mingda is worried about.

Qin Jing continued, "The grace of raising a child is greater than the grace of giving birth to one. Besides, Niuniu's wishes are also very important. If things really get out of hand, I'm afraid the whole capital will laugh at our two families."

Gu Mingda naturally didn't want to take Niuniu's matter to the point of going to court. After all, once this matter was put on the table for people to judge, Niuniu would be the one who got hurt in the end. No matter whether the little girl chose the Gu family or the Xianguo Mansion, she would be accused of not caring about the grace of raising or giving birth to her.

All members of the Gu family were nervous. Recalling the sour face of the Duke Xian's wife when they came to apologize last time, they felt that this visit would not be particularly smooth.

As expected, even though the Gu family spent a whole day cleaning the house inside and out, when Duke Xian and his wife entered the house, Duke Xian's wife still frowned slightly.

Her expression was still as if she had seen something dirty.

Qin Jing tugged at her sleeve imperceptibly, but Lady Xian of Duke Xianguo still did not cover up at all.

"Good child, you have suffered a lot these years." Lady Xianguogong said to Niu Niu in a condescending manner.

Niu Niu shook her head: "I suffered a lot in the past few years, but my adoptive parents were bad people at that time. Later, my adoptive parents became good people, and I felt like I was living a fairy-like life!"

Lady Xian Guogong still looked strange after hearing the little girl's strange words. She said casually: "Bad people can become good people. Could it be that you have influenced them?"

There was even a hint of mockery in her eyes when she looked at Gu Mingda and his wife.

Niuniu raised her little head and said, "Daddy and Mom snatched me away from the Zhang family. They were so good to me!"

Qin Jing didn't know that Niuniu had such a past, so he immediately asked curiously, "Isn't Uncle Gu your first adoptive father?"

Although the little girl was very young when she left the Zhang family, she still remembers those things very clearly.

"Before, at the Zhang family, they all scolded me for eating too much and said I was a jinx..." the little girl said in a clear voice.

But it was like a hammer, hitting Qin Jing's heart hard.

He looked at his sister with pity in his eyes: "I didn't know you had such a hard life in the past. It's our fault that we didn't find you in time..."

Qin Jing still felt apologetic, but Duke Xian and his wife had never gotten along with Niu Niu in the past, so it was not easy for him to suddenly feel pity for his daughter.

Both of them have never suffered, and it is difficult for them to empathize with the suffering of others.

Duke Xian said casually, "You are blessed by heaven. No wonder people in the capital call you a little lucky treasure."

The wife of Duke Xian nodded and said, "It shows that the feng shui of our Duke Xian's Mansion is good. Even if the child is outside, he can always turn danger into safety."

Qin Jing frowned when he heard this. His parents downplayed the matter and took all the credit for the Gu family's efforts. He felt that this was not a good sign no matter how he looked at it. He was even more afraid that the whole conversation would fall apart because of this.

But fortunately, Gu Mingda and his wife were both good-tempered and did not say anything because of the arrogance of these two people.

But Niu Niu refused to do it anymore.

The little girl stamped her feet and said, "It was obviously my mother who went through so much trouble to get me back, and my father even gave some money to the bad guys. How can you say that it was the credit of the Xian Guogong Mansion?"

Lady Xian Guogong looked at Niuniu with a hint of displeasure: "Disobeying elders is not what a good child should do."

Niuniu frowned: "Can't elders make mistakes? Everyone makes mistakes, so why can't others speak out?"
