After Xiao Fubao's life was stolen, she became the favorite of the Beijing group

Mrs. Xian Guogong didn't like Niu Niu in the first place. If she didn't think that Niu Niu was liked by the emperor and the empress dowager, and that having more daughters would make it easier to satisfy her ambitions, she would never have made this trip.

At this moment, she listened to Niu Niu's rebuttal, and her displeasure had reached its peak. If this place wasn't her home, she would have asked someone to punish Niu Niu.

"Because respecting elders is what every junior should do." Mrs. Xian Guogong said.

Niu Niu raised her little face, looked directly at Mrs. Xian Guogong, and said crisply: "But as a junior, you can't just stand by and watch your elders make mistakes. Helping your elders correct their mistakes is also respect."

Gu Mingda heard his daughter explain her thoughts so clearly, and the pride on his face could hardly be concealed.

But the anger of the Lady of Xianguo was rising steadily, and she asked: "Do you usually talk to your adoptive parents like this?"

Niuniu nodded and said with a smile: "If I find that my parents have done something wrong, they will praise me!"

The expression on the Lady of Xianguo's face almost cracked, and she turned her head and looked at the Gu couple with a strange look.

Gu Mingda smiled and said: "We have very low requirements for our children. As long as they can grow up to be children with good character and independence, it will be fine. Niuniu can find the mistakes of her parents, which shows that she is a child with ideas. In this way, even if she is in danger in the future, she will be able to get out of trouble by herself."

Gu Mingda's educational views were obviously a huge shock to the family of three of Xianguo Mansion.

"It's really against the sky..." said the Lady of Xianguo.

Qin Jing hurriedly pulled his mother and praised her: "Uncle Gu, I knew you were always different. I racked my brains to come up with such an idea. I think I need to learn more from you in the future."

Gu Mingda said a few humble words.

Duke Xian looked at his son and then at his wife. He felt that if he continued this topic, the situation would be very awkward. He continued to play the role of smoothing things over:

"Niuniu, I heard that when you were in the palace, the Queen Mother loved you very much. She would be anxious if she couldn't see you for a moment. Is this true?"

Niuniu shook her head: "Duke, how can this be true? I spend most of my time studying in the palace every day, and the Queen Mother often doesn't see me!"

Duke Xian listened to her address to the Queen Mother, and his eyes looked at his daughter with a little more passion. Thinking that this child had been granted marriage to Li Xuan, the glory of Duke Xian's mansion in the future might all depend on Niuniu.

Of course, if Li Xuan failed in his bid for the throne, Duke Xian's mansion could also find a way to get out of it because of Niu Niu's special situation. Duke Xian felt that the little girl in front of him was a good deal that would make a profit without any loss.

"Why call me Duke? That's too polite. You are obviously my daughter. Call me daddy and let me hear it." Duke Xian said with a smile.

Niu Niu pursed her lips tightly. She was not prepared to call a stranger daddy at all. It was difficult for her to regard the man in front of her who exuded a disgusting aura as her real father.

The wife of Duke Xian also said: "Yes, you should also call me mother."

Niu Niu was so scared when she heard this that she took a step back. Her body's resistance could not be faked.

The face of the wife of Duke Xian condensed into dark clouds again: "You, child, don't understand the hardship of pregnancy and childbirth for ten months. You called me so strangely from beginning to end."

Niu Niu lowered her head slightly. She didn't want to explain anything. She just couldn't get over the hurdle in her heart.

The wife of Duke Xian wanted to scold her again.

Qin Jing held her again: "Mother, Niuniu is timid, please don't scare her. You promised me before you go out."

The wife of Duke Xian was slightly restrained, but she still couldn't like Niuniu. She always felt that her daughter should be more obedient and sensible, more in line with her imagination of the future queen.

"Uncle Gu, don't rush things. Niuniu may not be ready yet. We will leave today." Qin Jing took the initiative to end this unpleasant visit.

The Duke Xian and his wife all looked at Qin Jing with surprised eyes. Obviously, the current situation was not what they expected, or they felt that they should discuss taking Niuniu away now.

Qin Jing looked at his parents with a look that could not be rejected.

Duke Xian still cared about his son's face. He did not refute on the spot, but smiled and said: "Niuniu, Daddy is very happy to see you grow up into a beautiful girl. In a few days, Daddy will take you to the Duke Xian's mansion to play."

Duke Xian took his wife to say goodbye together.

After leaving Gu's house and getting on the carriage, the wife of Duke Xian said unhappily: "Didn't we agree to take her back today?"

"Mother, since Niu Niu is resisting, why are you rushing?" Qin Jing persuaded earnestly.

The wife of Duke Xian snorted coldly and said: "Between Duke Xian's Mansion and Gu's Family, anyone with a brain knows how to choose."

Qin Jing really didn't understand where his mother's superiority came from: "The Gu family is all gentle and polite, and they treat Niu Niu, their adopted daughter, without any prejudice, as if she were their own. She may feel that the Gu family is more like her own family."

"That's because she is not smart and doesn't know what's good for her." Lady Xian said.

Qin Jing didn't expect to come back again, and said directly: "Mother, if Niu Niu doesn't want to, I will never force her to return to Duke Xian's Mansion."

"Even if we don't mention it, the Gu family should have asked someone to send it back. What's the big deal about occupying someone else's daughter? Besides, we gave them so many things, and they probably haven't seen many of them!" Lady Xian Guogong said as a matter of course.

Qin Jing shook his head gently: "Compared to those expensive gifts we sent, the Gu family will always care more about Niuniu."

Lady Xian Guogong was speechless for a moment, but she was still full of righteousness in her heart.

Duke Xian suddenly said, "This is actually good. Since the child doesn't want to recognize us in public, then we can recognize him in private. Otherwise, we can take the child back to Duke Xian's mansion every now and then to live for a while. This way, it will not be conspicuous, but can also keep in touch, and it won't make Jingshu uncomfortable."

Duke Xian's wife raised an eyebrow: "Jingshu is uncomfortable? She still has the face to be uncomfortable? She has occupied someone else's identity for so many years, even if Gu Xi scolds her and beats her, it's all right."

If it is said that Duke Xian's wife vaguely dislikes Niu Niu, then her current inexplicable hatred for Qin Jingshu is a mixture of years of disgust and inexplicable hatred for occupying the magpie's nest.

Qin Jing felt tired. The affairs in the government office were already heavy enough, but his mother never thought of quieting down.

"Okay, even if Jingshu is not my biological daughter, she is my niece. Why do you always target her?" Duke Xian said unhappily.

Duke Xian's wife stopped talking.

Although this matter has never been made public, it still spread to the palace at the fastest speed.

The emperor was like a dead ashes in an incense burner, and ran to the Queen Mother's palace and said, "Mother, you previously arranged a marriage between the daughter of the Gu family and Li Xuan. Now Niuniu is no longer a daughter of the Gu family. Should we reconsider this matter?"
