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

Chapter 494 Complaint
"The Duke was kicked by a horse, then tripped over a threshold and broke his head, then fell on the ground again while walking..."

Duke Xian's attendant explained Duke Xian's illness to the doctor with embarrassment on his face.

Although the doctor rarely treated nobles, this was the first time he had seen such an unlucky noble. He broke several strands of his beard by twisting it, and then he asked awkwardly, "In addition to the doctor, did you invite a master?"

Long attendant: ...

"The Duke looks like he's having a bad year. We'd better ask someone to exorcise the evil spirits for him, or he'll get a new wound just as I'm applying medicine on him." The old doctor said casually.

The attendant said helplessly: "You should treat the disease first, these are not your business."

While the old doctor was taking the pulse and prescribing medicine, he kept muttering: "I have treated many patients, but it is rare to see someone as unlucky as your master. Don't think I am nagging. Sometimes you should pray to the gods and Buddhas, and you must not avoid it..."

The chief attendant wiped the sweat from his forehead while carefully observing the expression of Lord Li next to him.

This Lord Li looked very imposing. His attendant knew better than anyone how much importance his Lord the Duke attached to him, and was afraid that the Lord would blame them for not entertaining him well after he woke up.

The emperor listened to the old doctor's words until Qian Rongsheng suddenly asked, "Where is Niuniu?"

The emperor then woke up from his dream. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He suddenly became very concerned about Duke Xian's illness and even forgot about Niu Niu.

"Where is the child?" the emperor asked the village head in a deep voice.

The village head was also confused. After Duke Xian fainted, he attracted almost everyone's attention, and no one paid special attention to the two children.

The emperor was worried, fearing that the child's playfulness would bring him danger, and urged: "Send someone to find him!"

After receiving the order, the village head immediately took action, but something terrifying happened.

They searched the entire village and dug deep into the ground, but they couldn't find the two children.

The emperor listened to the servant's report, his face darkened as if he wanted to kill someone: "Missing? How is that possible?"

Zhuangtou didn't know the true identity of the adult in front of him, but he was frightened by the other's suddenly gloomy face and trembled with fear.

This kind of oppressive force is even more frightening than that of one's own Duke.

"Qian Rongsheng, send someone to look for the child. You must find the child. There can't be any mistakes!"

After receiving the order, Qian Rongsheng immediately walked to the yard, took out a whistle from somewhere, and blew it. Immediately, several nimble men appeared.

He gave a few instructions and the men dispersed.

"Boss, there is a horse missing from the stable. Please arrange for someone to find it!" The farmer in charge of feeding the horses came hurriedly to report.

The village head glared at him and scolded him, "The eldest lady is missing, who has time to take care of a horse now? Don't make trouble here!"

When the emperor heard this, his eyes moved and he looked at Qian Rongsheng beside him.

Qian Rongsheng immediately said, "Don't worry, I will send someone to the stable to look for clues. If the two children left on horseback, there must be traces on the road."

At this time, Niu Niu and Qin Jingshu were sitting on the horses, one in front and one behind.

"Niuniu, did you ride horses often in the past?" Qin Jingshu asked.

"Ride a horse about five times?" Niu Niu said.

Qin Jingshu heard this, and her arms around Niuniu froze: "Aren't you afraid?"

Niuniu held the reins in her hands, without any fear on her face: "Don't worry, Dahei is very well behaved. Since he promised to take me back to the capital, he won't break his promise."

Qin Jingshu recalled the scene in the stable. After Niuniu asked the black horse if he could take them back to the capital, the black horse immediately squatted down to make it easier for them to climb up. "Niuniu, can you talk to animals?"

Niuniu shook her head: "I can't always understand what they say."

Qin Jingshu was so envious when she heard this: "You are so amazing!"

Niuniu said modestly: "Actually, I'm not that good at all. Many times I just guessed."

Qin Jingshu immediately said: "That's much better than me. I can't even guess."

Niuniu couldn't bear to see her friend disappointed: "I'll teach you later!"

Qin Jingshu's eyes lit up, but as the big black horse ran faster and faster and the farm behind it got farther and farther away, a sense of fear arose in her heart again.

"Will Dad be angry if we run away like this?" Qin Jingshu asked.

Niu Niu said: "My father won't be angry. If your father is angry, then you can say that I forced you to go with me."

Qin Jingshu was grateful in her heart, but shook her head with a firm look in her eyes: "We are good friends, even if something happens, we have to carry it together!"

"There's no need to share this matter together. Your father can't hit me anyway. What if he gets angry and hurts you? Just listen to me and put the blame on me!" Niu Niu said.

Qin Jingshu hesitated for a moment and asked, "Niuniu, are you really not going to recognize your parents as your relatives?"

Niuniu raised her chin and said, "I don't want to be recognized as my relative by them. They are not good to me. Anyway, I already have the best parents in the world. It doesn't matter whether I want them or not."

Qin Jingshu was filled with envy and even secretly thought that it would be great if the child who was thrown away back then was herself.

Although the big black horse was carrying two people, both of them were little girls and were running at full speed, so they were returning to the city much faster than leaving the city.

When the big black horse steadily found the door of Gu's house, he happened to meet Zhang Yunniang who was about to go out.

When Zhang Yunniang saw clearly the two little men sitting on the galloping black horses, she was frightened to death.

"Niuniu, why did you come back like this?"

Countless bad guesses flashed through Zhang Yuniang's mind.

She carried the two little girls down from the front and back, and confirmed that Niuniu's hair was just messed up by the wind and her clothes were intact. Only then did she finally feel relieved.

"Mom, I'm hungry!" Niu Niu shouted.

Zhang Yunniang pulled the two children into the yard, one in each hand. She thought the two children had suffered a great misfortune, so she hurriedly told others to prepare meal.

"Where is the Duke?" Zhang Yuniang asked.

Niuniu said: "He is injured and probably hasn't woken up yet."

Zhang Yunniang's face turned pale. "What happened to you? Are there bandits on the road?"

It was no wonder that she thought so. After all, the way Niu Niu and Qin Jingshu came back on horseback looked too much like they were fleeing. She even thought that it was Duke Xian who risked his life to hold back the bandits, giving the two children a chance to survive.

Niuniu looked at her mother in surprise and said, "There were no bandits. Duke Xian fell down by himself."

Zhang Yunniang's expression was so strange when she heard this: "He...he...what happened? Why did you come back? Didn't you say you wanted to play at the farm for a day?"

Niuniu calmly complained: "Mom, Duke Xian has been bullying me and making me do things I don't like. I'm not happy!"

Qin Jingshu didn't expect that Niu Niu and her mother would get along like this. Seeing Zhang Yunniang's face gloomy, Qin Jingshu was so scared that her face turned pale and she couldn't help but worry about her friend.
