My daughter was sold, I want to divorce her and go back to my parents' home to escape the famin

In the private room upstairs, not long after, the waiter brought steaming hot roast chicken, roast duck, roast rabbit and steamed buns, as well as a pot of hot tea to the room.

The tempting aroma instantly filled the entire box. The eyes of Gu Jinxuan's two children lit up. They ate with relish and praised this novel delicacy highly.

"Dad, this food is so delicious, it's even more fragrant than the one we have at home," Gu Huaiyuan couldn't wait to reach out to grab the roasted rabbit. He wanted to tear off two rabbit legs for his sister, and eat the other two himself. After he finished eating, he would pack some to take home and eat with his grandparents.

"Wow, it smells so good! Daddy, let's eat quickly," six-year-old Gu Huaining blinked and looked at Gu Jinxuan. She secretly looked at her old father. Something was wrong, obviously something was wrong. It seemed that she really was going to have a new mother.

When she thought of her biological mother, Gu Huaining felt sorry for her father. Although she had a mother, she had never enjoyed maternal love, so naturally she had no illusions about her mother.

Fortunately, she only had no mother, but she had grandparents who loved her, as well as uncles, aunts, brothers and sisters who all loved her very much.

"Go slower, don't burn yourself," Gu Jinxuan stopped him with a smile, then carefully tore the roasted rabbit into small pieces and placed them on the children's plates.

He was worried about letting his child cook such hot food by himself. Although his son was already ten years old and a little man, Gu Jinxuan didn't care about that. As long as he was there, he would do everything he could.

The two children ate with relish, praising the food non-stop while eating. Gu Jinxuan watched the children enjoying the meal and tried it himself.

After a while, after eating and drinking, Gu Jinxuan asked the servants to go downstairs and pack a portion of each to take home for his family.

After packing everything, he asked his personal attendant to send the two children back home, and invited Lin Qingxue upstairs while he sorted out his thoughts.

Knowing that Gu Jinxuan had invited her, Lin Qingxue quickly came to the box. "Mr. Gu, may I know what you want from me?" she asked straight to the point.

Gu Jinxuan took a deep breath and said, "Ms. Lin, to be honest, I have been thinking about you ever since we last parted. I want to marry you. What do you think?"

Lin Qingxue's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. "Mr. Gu, please don't joke. Our statuses are so different, this is absolutely impossible."

Gu Jinxuan said hurriedly: "I am sincere. I don't care about status. I just know that I like you. My Gu family doesn't pay attention to family background or status when choosing a wife. As long as we like each other, my parents won't ask anything."

Lin Qingxue frowned, "Mr. Gu, marriage is no joke. Please think twice. I am a divorced peasant woman living with two children in my parents' home. I am really not worthy of you, Mr. Gu."

"Miss Lin, I am attracted to you, but I am attracted to you as a person. It has nothing to do with your family background. I don't need my wife to have a good family background. As long as she has me in her heart and can treat my two children as her own, that's enough. Don't worry, I will treat your two children as my own as well."

Gu Jinxuan looked at Lin Qingxue with a determined expression, his face very serious and solemn. It was obvious that his words were well thought out and not spoken on impulse.

However, Lin Qingxue is a little confused at the moment and she doesn’t know how to deal with it.

Faced with the confession of such an excellent man, it is impossible not to be moved. However, Lin Qingxue knows that marriage is not a trivial matter. She has no parents and her family members are all peasants. If she marries Gu Jinxuan, if she is bullied in the future, not only will there be no one to support her, but Gu Jinxuan's parents and family may not necessarily accept her.

Not to mention that she has a pair of daughters. Even if she is unmarried, she is not worthy of Gu Jinxuan, so she dare not accept it. Divorce from such a family is not such a simple matter.

"Mr. Gu, I just said that we are not a good match. Don't mention this matter again in the future," Lin Qingxue shook her head, her tone very calm.

"I've also said that my Gu family doesn't value this. If we really want to emphasize matching up, then the only person who can be my wife is a princess of the royal family. What do you think of this?"

Gu Jinxuan shook his head and said firmly, "I only want you. I can give you time to think about it. Think about it carefully."

After saying that, Gu Jinxuan left the restaurant next door. If he didn't leave, he would lose control of his temper. He didn't expect that the first time he expressed his love in his life, he would be rejected one after another. Doesn't he have any face?

Looking at Gu Jinxuan leaving in a rage, Lin Qingxue was speechless and didn't know what to say.

However, since the person had left, Lin Qingxue had forgotten about it. She thought it was very simple. Maybe the person was just expressing his love on a whim.

After calling the waiter to clean up the dishes, Lin Qingxue went downstairs. Seeing that there were few people in the hall, she felt relieved. The fragrance spread far away, and many people came to eat.

After the remaining tables of guests leave, it is time for them to eat, and after dinner, they have to get busy again.

Lin Qingxue was living her life leisurely, completely unaware that Gu Jinxuan on the other side was already arranging their marriage.

What Gu Jinxuan did was very simple. He went straight to his parents, the Duke of Protector of the Country Gu Zhendong and Princess Anyang, and told them that he wanted to get married.

The Protector's Mansion, the Protector's study.

The Duke of Huguo and Princess Anyang sat in the seats of honor. Gu Jinxuan stood in front of his parents, his face solemn and serious. He said, "Father, Mother, I want to marry Miss Lin Qingxue. When I was ordered to suppress bandits, I was injured on the road and was saved by Lin Qingxue. Today, I took Huaiyuan and Huaining out for dinner and ran into her again. I found that I still want to marry her. Miss Lin's family is not well off. Her parents passed away many years ago. Now she lives with her brother and sister-in-law, her uncle and aunt, and her grandparents. She came to escape the famine in the imperial city and settled in the southern suburbs. She divorced and brought her two daughters with her."

Gu Jinxuan told everything about Lin Qingxue in one breath. He knew that even if he didn't tell his parents, they would be able to find out.

Therefore, it would be better for him to point it out directly to avoid leaving a bad impression on Lin Qingxue's parents.

After hearing what their eldest daughter-in-law said, the Duke of Huguo and Princess Anyang looked at each other. They had been loyal to the emperor and their country all their lives. It was undeniable that they had been worthy of everyone except their eldest son.

Because the father of the former eldest daughter-in-law had once given his deceased father a meal to his parents, when the eldest daughter-in-law's family encountered difficulties, he pushed his eldest son to marry the eldest daughter-in-law, which was considered a way of repaying the favor.

But by doing so, he brought suffering to his eldest son and his two grandchildren.
