After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital

Chapter 483 Suffering

Qin Jing stood up immediately and said, "Mother, please allow me to go and greet Uncle Gu."

Mrs. Xianguo nodded.

When the future of a No. 1 scholar was uncertain, Mrs. Xianguo had the confidence to look down on him, but this was different from the past.

Qin Jing and Gu Mingda were admitted to Jinshi at the same time. Qin Jing's current weight in the emperor's heart is not as important as Gu Mingda's.

Mrs. Xianguo also heard her father say that the emperor liked deliberate things very much. If nothing unexpected happened, it was basically a certainty that Gu Mingda would join the cabinet in the future.

Duke Xian's government had to pay more attention to the Gu family because of this.

At this time, Duke Xian had even stood up and said to his son: "I will go with you."

The father and son greeted Gu Mingda at the second door, and after some pleasantries, they took him into the mourning hall.

After Gu Mingda went through the process of worshiping, he took Qin Jing to talk for a while and was about to say goodbye.

"Master Gu."

Qin Jingshu shouted cautiously.

Gu Mingda is responsible for enlightening the adopted daughters in the palace, and is also Qin Jingshu's teacher. However, in Gu Mingda's opinion, the most important label on the girl in front of her is that she is Niu Niu's good friend.

Gu Mingda asked softly: "Jingshu, do you have something to tell me? Is it related to Niuniu?"

Qin Jingshu nodded first, then shook her head.

Qin Jing did not leave. After all, her sister was getting older now. Being alone with Gu Mingda was not good for her reputation.

"Brother, you..." Qin Jingshu wanted her brother to leave.

Qin Jing frowned slightly and looked at her sister with disapproval.

"Jingshu, your eldest brother is your closest relative. If you want to hide this matter from him, then it may not be convenient for me to hear it." Gu Mingda said.

The expression on Qin Jingshu's face was a little tangled, but after thinking about it, she felt that she still had to talk to Gu Mingda about many things.

She spent a lot of time with Niuniu and knew how responsible parents Gu Mingda and Zhang Yuniang were, so she decided to tell Gu Mingda after thinking about it for a long time.

"My aunt told me something before she died..." Qin Jingshu said.

Gu Mingda was completely unprepared for this incident. He came to the Qin family today to express his condolences, not to know about his daughter's life experience!

Qin Jing's face was pale, and he did not expect that his aunt would do such a big thing behind the family's back.

"This matter is too big, I must tell my parents." Qin Jing said.

Gu Mingda panicked, and a panic that he might lose his daughter spread in his heart.

"Ah Jing, wait a minute, your family is having a funeral now, they must not be ready to receive such news," Gu Mingda said.

Gu Mingda hadn't figured out how to deal with this matter yet, so he could only instinctively put it off first.

Qin Jing glanced at Gu Mingda, then nodded and said, "Uncle Gu, you know, I have to tell my parents about this eventually."

When Gu Mingda heard this, he couldn't help but think, is his panic so obvious now? It was so obvious that even Qin Jing could see it.

Gu Mingda turned to look at Qin Jingshu: "You are a good boy. Thank you for telling us these things. Don't tell others for the time being, okay?" Qin Jingshu nodded obediently. She has been carrying this secret for the past few days, and she felt uncomfortable in her heart. It was uncomfortable, but now I finally said it, and I felt a sense of peace that the dust had settled.

Gu Mingda returned to Gu's house with heavy steps.

Zhang Yunniang didn't take this condolence seriously at first. When she saw her husband's dark face, she suddenly became anxious: "Did something happen?"

Gu Mingda glanced at his wife, drank three cups of tea, and made sure there was no one else in the bedroom before he spoke.

After Zhang Yuniang heard the cause and effect, she covered her heart with the same uncomfortable look on her face as her husband.

"How could...how could...what Mrs. Li said may not be true...Niuniu may not be their child...Mrs. Xianguo..." Zhang Yunniang said incoherently.

Gu Mingda suddenly seemed to have caught something, and said: "I used to feel that it was a little strange. There must be some unknown connection between the Li family and Niu Niu, but I just couldn't figure it out."

Although Gu Mingda still didn't fully understand it, he was three-thirds convinced of Mrs. Li's last words.

"The Li family seems to be particularly...afraid of Niuniu." Gu Mingda really didn't want to put this word on his daughter, but for the current situation, it seemed that there was no more suitable adjective than this word.

Zhang Yunniang couldn't help but shook her head: "But this doesn't prove that Niuniu is the child of Duke Xianguo..."

Gu Mingda glanced at his wife and said, "Nine times out of ten, you should have seen Mrs. Xianguo in the inner house. Are there any similarities between her and Niuniu?"

Zhang Yuniang's face turned pale. She didn't want to admit it, but she had to admit that every time she saw Mrs. Xianguo, she felt a sense of familiarity that she couldn't ignore.

In the past, she had never been able to explain where this familiarity came from, but now she understood.

But she wished she didn't understand.

"But I...but I don't want to give my daughter back to them...Can I wait a few more years?" Zhang Yuniang was still struggling.

Gu Mingda said: "Niuniu was maliciously transferred without knowing it. She is not a child abandoned by Duke Xian. It would be fine if we didn't know. Now that we know, we can no longer hide it from her. She Have the right to know the truth.”

Zhang Yunniang's heart was entangled. In the past two or three years of getting along with her, she had long considered this child as her own flesh and blood, and was used to having Niu Niu by her side. As soon as she thought of her child being taken away by the Duke of Xianguo, she would I felt extremely uncomfortable.

Niu Niu soon discovered that her mother looked at her in the past two days as if she was drowning.

"Mom, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly." Niu Niu said obediently.

Zhang Yunniang opened and closed her mouth. She wanted to speak but didn't dare to say it. She babbled for a long time, and finally just said: "Mom likes to watch Niuniu play."

The corners of Niu Niu's mouth raised: "Mom, are you going to play with me?"

Zhang Yuniang originally had a lot of things to deal with. After hearing what her daughter said, she immediately put everything aside and just wanted to spend more time with her daughter.

Zhang Yunniang was in agony, and she did not stop until the funeral ceremony was held at the Xianguo Palace.

No matter how reluctant Gu Mingda was, his holiday had come. He and Zhang Yunniang did not disturb the rest of the family, but called Niu Niu alone.

But after hearing the cause and effect, the little girl's reaction seemed to be beyond the couple's surprise. Not only did she not cry, but she obviously did not intend to return to the Duke Xianguo's mansion.

"Mrs. Xianguo already has a daughter. You told me that the child will be raised in whose home she is raised, so I am your child. Jingshu is also Mrs. Xianguo's daughter."

The little girl's face was a bit childish, but her eyes were particularly determined, and her face was full of matter-of-factness.
