After all, Mrs. Xianguo didn't give it to him directly, but stared at her second son seriously.

"What are you busy with lately? You go out early and come back late every day, and I haven't seen you anywhere!"

Listening to Mrs. Xianguo's question, Qin Er looked extremely impatient: "Isn't the eldest brother leaving early and coming back late every day? Mother, why don't you ask him?"

Mrs. Xianguo said directly: "Your eldest brother is busy with business, why should I be worried about him?"

Qin Er seemed to be waiting for Mrs. Xianguo to say this, and immediately looked hurt: "I know that my mother has always favored my eldest brother, and that's right. I'm not like my eldest brother, who was the top student in high school. I can't be good at literature or martial arts. He is a child who makes his mother feel embarrassed..."

Mrs. Xianguo couldn't hear these words. She immediately grabbed her son's hand and said, "Okay, okay, let me ask you a few questions. You just say this. You clearly know that the person I am most partial to is you! But you want to Make me angry!"

Qin Er lowered his head to hide the sarcasm in his eyes, but still said: "If mother is not willing to give me money, then I will go to my father. The worst I can do is get scolded and beaten."

How could Mrs. Xian Guo be willing to let her precious son suffer like this? She took out the key on the spot, opened the locked money box on the side, and grabbed a hundred taels of silver note from it.

"Take the flowers first, and stay away from those shady places. Don't cause trouble!" Mrs. Xianguo said.

Qin Er took the silver note, but did not leave on the spot. Instead, he said: "A few days ago, I saw my mother giving my eldest brother five hundred taels of silver."

Mrs. Xianguo saw that he was too little, so she said helplessly: "Your eldest brother took the money because he wanted to do business. This is the first time our family went to the Gu family to visit, and it was about your sister. Your eldest brother is born to worry about his life. He I’m afraid that the gifts I prepared are not what I want, so I have to buy them myself.”

Qin Ercai didn't care what the truth was and said: "It's just a poor family. How can I be treated with such caution by my eldest brother? I seem to have heard someone in my eldest brother's yard say that he doesn't seem to have much money recently."

When Mrs. Xianguo heard that Qin Er had taken such a long detour, she also knew that this evil obstacle would not be easily dismissed, so she had no choice but to hand over another banknote.

"Stop arranging your big brother behind your back, and be careful so that he won't be happy if he hears it!"

Qin Er just talked and got two hundred taels. Even though he was still dissatisfied with his eldest brother, he knew that he couldn't get more money from his mother today. After collecting the money, he said a few nice words and coaxed Mrs. Xianguo into With a smile on his face, he found an excuse to leave.

Although her son was here to ask for money, Mrs. Xianguo's mood indeed improved a lot after being interrupted by him. She stopped venting and called her servants into the house to clean up all the mess on the floor. .

However, Duke Xian came back from outside in the evening and hurried to the main courtyard.

"What did the Queen Mother say when she summoned you to the palace today?" Duke Xian asked.

Mrs. Xianguo's mood, which had already calmed down, seemed to be on the verge of rekindling her anger.

"What else can the Queen Mother say? Of course she is using her power to overwhelm others. According to her wishes, Gu Xi can deny us, but we can't help but love her. If there is any good thing to think about this girl, if there is any trouble , don’t bother her.”

When Duke Xian heard this, he was stunned for a moment.

Mrs. Xian Guogong continued to complain: "The Queen Mother has such beautiful thoughts. She is afraid that we will do something to harm her little baby! She doesn't treat us as human beings at all! As parents, we have no dignity at all. Word!"

"Okay! Great!" Duke Xian suddenly clapped his hands and burst out laughing like a fake.

Mrs. Xianguo looked at her husband as if she were a fool.

However, the more Duke Xian thought about it, the more excited he became: "Previously, others said that the Queen Mother loved her, and I thought they were looking down upon her. But now it seems that it hurts to the core of my bones!"

Mrs. Xianguo complained: "This girl is favored by the Queen Mother and the Emperor. Will she be riding on our heads? After all the hard work of giving birth to her, what's the point of being a parent?"

Duke Xian sneered: "A woman's opinion!"

"The Queen Mother likes her so much that she will naturally arrange the best things in the world for her. Then Li Xuan's future will definitely be limitless!"

Duke Xianguo felt that his wife had been reprimanded in the palace. For him, this was simply the best news he heard all day.

Mrs. Xianguo's eyes hesitated: "This... this... this can't be possible, right? If Gu Mingda hadn't won the first prize in the exam, Gu Xi would still be a country girl, how could she reach the sky in one step?"

Duke Xian glared at her: "What on earth do you dislike about Niu Niu? I think Niu Niu is quite cute. No wonder the Queen Mother likes her. Even if I haven't seen her for a few days, I can't think of her."

When Duke Xian thought that he could become the future father-in-law, he immediately announced unilaterally that Niu Niu was his favorite child.

Duke Xian continued: "Prince Jing's Palace does not have much power in the capital, and the Gu family is also very weak. Since they are competing for the big position, they cannot provide much help. In the future, we will still have to rely on Duke Xian's Palace to prosper the Duke's Palace. It’s close at hand.”

When Mrs. Xianguo heard this, she raised her chin slightly: "I thought they all had the ability. In the end, if they don't ask us, then let them beg us."

Duke Xian glanced at his wife strangely, thinking that she was getting weirder and weirder. She was a noble person, so even if she asked for it, how dare the Duke's office dare to show off?

He thought that no matter whether his wife was stupid or not, in front of Niuniu, he could make the child like him even more by showing off a little.

"You should be nicer to Niuniu. Don't look sour every time you see her. It will make the child unhappy." Duke Xian directly stated his request.

The wife of Duke Xian didn't really want to agree. In her heart, even if her daughter became the queen, she would still respect her mother. But she didn't want to argue with her husband, so she nodded perfunctorily.

Duke Xian looked at his wife's room again, which seemed empty, and frowned knowingly: "You smashed the whole room again? Your temper is getting more and more weird. You should learn to cultivate yourself."

The wife of Duke Xian felt annoyed listening to her husband's chattering, and said casually: "If you have nothing to do, go to bed early."

Duke Xian looked at his wife's face, which was slightly decayed due to years of anger, and said: "I still have official business to deal with. You can settle down first, and don't wait for me!"

The wife of Duke Xian looked at her husband's back as he left. How could she not know that her husband would not come again tonight and must be staying somewhere else.

She laughed bitterly and kept comforting herself, saying that she had several children and didn't need to care about these trivial matters.

The next morning, Niuniu had just gotten up. It was a rare day off, so she didn't have to go to the palace to study. But after breakfast, she received bad news.

"Niuniu, Duke Xian is here. He wants to take you to the farm to play." When Zhang Yunniang said this, the smile on her face was very forced.
