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

Chapter 493 One after another
Duke Xian glared at his two daughters.

Qin Jingshu lowered her head in fear under the pressure from her father.

But Niu Niu was not afraid of him at all. She glared back at him with her big innocent eyes.

"Niuniu, be obedient!" Duke Xian scolded the disobedient child as if he were at home.

Even the most unruly Qin Er would become obedient under his gaze.

But Niu Niu seemed to be completely unaware of the oppressive atmosphere in the air.

The little girl just missed Gu Mingda very much in her heart, thinking that if her father was here, he would definitely not force her on these little things.

Qian Rongsheng felt a little distressed when he saw the little girl's appearance, and looked to the emperor beside him for help.

The emperor was playing with the beads in his hand, as if he didn't notice anything wrong around him.

"It is your blessing that His Majesty is willing to take you outing." Duke Xian said.

Niuniu pouted, still insisting on her opinion: "I don't want to go anywhere."

Duke Xian frowned, and was concerned that the emperor was beside him, so he didn't want to say something too harsh.

After thinking for a moment, he grabbed Niu Niu's wrist and walked to the next room, intending to scold the child in private.

But Niu Niu was very resistant to him, and Duke Xian had no choice but to increase his strength by three points.

Duke Xian was pulling the person over the threshold, but before he had completely crossed over, his whole body suddenly fell to the ground uncontrollably. His foot was tripped by the threshold, and his head hit the ground heavily.

"My Lord!" The village head screamed when he saw this situation.

The other servants in the manor were also frightened out of their wits.

Duke Xian was helped to stand up from the ground, feeling dizzy and light-headed. He reached out and touched his forehead, and immediately felt a bright red wetness.

"Blood..." Duke Xian felt his vision go dark. He couldn't remember the last time he was injured so badly.

"Go find a doctor quickly!" Zhuangtou urged.

Although Duke Xian was worried about his illness, he did not take time to rest, but turned around to look at the emperor behind him.

As a result, he did not miss the flash of gloating in Qian Rongsheng's eyes.

The emperor had a gloomy face. He looked at Duke Xian and then at Niuniu. After a long while, he finally said, "Since the manor wants to keep guests, there is no need to go out for an outing. Stay and see if there is anything worthwhile in the manor."

Duke Xian had no idea that his injury was related to the outing, and he actually felt relieved at this moment.

Before, Niu Niu felt the pressure from him, and he also felt the pressure from the emperor. The emperor's eyes were always on his back as if they were real, as if driving him to force Niu Niu.

"Go and drive all the peacocks and deer in the farm here for the two young ladies to enjoy." Duke Xianguo ordered the head of the farm while enduring the dizziness.

The head of the village nodded and was about to give orders to others. He wanted to take the opportunity to serve and curry favor with Duke Xian.

Duke Xian could only add helplessly: "You go and make arrangements yourself. Make sure to take good care of the distinguished guest. Let others serve me."

The village head had no choice but to agree.

But Niuniu suddenly said at this moment: "I want to go home."

Duke Xian felt a headache again. He couldn't understand why Niu Niu was so resistant to the emperor's favor, which was a blessing that no one else could ask for.
He did not think from Niuniu's perspective, whether the emperor had done something to scare Niuniu, but blamed his daughter countless times in his heart for not knowing how to appreciate the emperor's kindness. Duke Xian said unhappily, "Why are you going back just after you arrived? The Gu family will think I bullied you."

Niuniu still stared at him with her pair of clear black and white eyes, and said bluntly: "If you don't let me go, you are bullying me."

When Duke Xian heard this, he was so angry that he almost burst into tears.

Without Lady Xianguogong playing the bad guy, he faced Niu Niu alone, and felt that all the words that Lady Xianguogong had used to scold Niu Niu in the past came true at this moment.

Things like "a wild child raised in a country family", "uneducated", and "unmannered".

Duke Xian thought about what he had asked people before, and the results he got were all saying that Niu Niu was a rare well-behaved and sensible child. Looking at Niu Niu's current rebellious appearance, he felt that Qin Er was more sensible than her.

"I am your biological father. Don't I have the power to decide your affairs? How did I bully you? Did I hit you or scold you?" Duke Xian asked.

"Bullying does not necessarily mean beating or scolding. I just feel uncomfortable and scared. This place makes me feel suffocated." Niu Niu said righteously.

The little girl said she was afraid, but Duke Xian did not see any fear on her face. Instead, he was pissed off by her.

Duke Xian had no way to deal with her, so he could only use the strategy of procrastination: "Stay here for now, at least until I bandage the wound on your head."

When Niu Niu saw the bloody hole on the strange dad's head, she didn't make a fuss anymore. Instead, she held Qin Jingshu's hand tightly, and looked defensive.

"My dear, come to me now." The emperor suddenly said.

Niu Niu stood there with her head down, not moving.

Duke Xian couldn't help getting anxious and angry again, and kept winking at Niu Niu, but all his glances were seen by the blind man.

Seeing Niuniu playing dumb, Duke Xian could only urge his adopted daughter: "Jingshu, quickly take Niuniu over. Don't let the distinguished guest wait too long."

Qin Jingshu was actually very afraid of the emperor. Although she had only seen him a few times in the palace, just one look at him from afar was enough to scare her.

But even so, Qin Jingshu's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground. She didn't dare to look her father in the eye like Niu Niu did. She could only lower her head. Her little body kept shaking, and she looked as if she was about to cover her ears in the next second.

Duke Xian was very angry, but the familiar pressure from the emperor fell on him again.

He endured the dizziness in his head and reached out to pull Niuniu again, but before he touched her, he felt a black screen in front of his eyes and fell to the ground with his whole body prostrated.

"My Lord!" the village head shouted.

But Duke Xian couldn't hear it. His head tilted and he completely lost consciousness.

No one present had expected that the Duke Xian would be half dead within a quarter of an hour of arriving at the farm even though he was supposed to be out for a trip to strengthen his relationship with his daughter.

Even the emperor had never seen such a scene, and his face went blank for a moment.

Niuniu looked at Duke Xian lying in front of her, and said helplessly to the village head, "Carry him to the bed."

After being reminded, the head of the village finally woke up from his dream. He quickly called a group of people over and carried Duke Xian into the best room in the village.

"The doctor is here!" someone shouted.

The head of the village hurriedly asked the doctor to see his master, and even forgot to make arrangements for the peacock and the fawn.

Niuniu took advantage of the chaos when the servants had no time to pay attention. She pulled Qin Jingshu to the stable and found the horse that had previously injured Duke Xian. The little girl looked up and asked sincerely, "Can you take me back to the capital?"
