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

After all, considering the presence of the two children, she stopped joking and said nothing more.

Facing Lin Qingxue's questioning, Gu Jinxuan shook his head without hesitation, his expression firm and resolute. He said in a deep voice, "Don't be afraid! As long as I can gain the approval of Big Brother and the others, even if I have to endure some hardships, I am willing to do so."

Just as Lin Qingxue was about to respond, suddenly, a slight noise was heard.

Immediately afterwards, the door of the box was gently pushed open, and a figure appeared in front of everyone - it turned out to be Wen Shui who walked in slowly with a tray.

So, Lin Qingxue swallowed back the words that were about to come out of her mouth, and just nodded slightly at Wen Shui.

About a cup of tea later, the waiter came in hurriedly, holding a large tray with several plates of steaming and fragrant delicious dishes on it.

He trotted into the room and carefully placed the first batch of dishes on the dining table.

Afterwards, he returned several times, each time with new dishes in his hands. In a short while, the originally empty table was filled with all kinds of delicious food.

Seeing the table full of delicious food, Lin Qingxue seemed to suddenly remember something, pursed her lips lightly, and stopped talking about the topic.

Then she turned slightly, took light steps, walked slowly to the dining table and sat down gracefully.

Then, she stretched out her pair of fair and slender hands, first picked up some grilled fish and put them into the bowls in front of the two children, and then picked up some grilled fish for Gu Jinxuan.

After doing all this, she picked up her chopsticks and began to savor the delicious food in front of her.

Gu Jinxuan, who was sitting next to her, always looked at Lin Qingxue with gentle eyes. Whenever he found that Lin Qingxue liked a dish, he would put it into her bowl again without hesitation.

His eyes were filled with concern and deep love, as if they were the only two people left in the world.

Faced with Gu Jinxuan's passionate gaze, Lin Qingxue couldn't help feeling a little shy, and a faint blush gradually appeared on her cheeks.

However, she would still look up from time to time and respond to Gu Jinxuan's affectionate gaze with the same affectionate eyes.

In this way, in a warm and romantic atmosphere, the family happily enjoyed this sumptuous lunch.

After the meal, Lin Qingxue raised her hand to signal the waiter to remove the dishes from the table, and quietly asked for another pot of sour plum soup.

After a while, the waiter swiftly brought a pot of iced sour plum soup and placed it on the table. It was the height of summer, and the heat was unbearable. The pot of sour plum soup was as tempting as a clear spring in the desert.

Lin Qingxue gently picked up the teapot and poured herself a cup. The liquid in the cup was dark brown and exuded a cool and sweet and sour aroma.

She took a sip carefully, and the cool and sour taste instantly spread in her mouth, like a stream of clear spring flowing through her throat, refreshing her heart.

As I drank the sour plum soup, my originally hot body suddenly felt much cooler, and even my mood became relaxed.

Seeing Lin Qingxue finish her sour plum soup, Gu Jinxuan smiled softly and asked, "Qingxue, is there anywhere else you'd like to go? If there's nothing you want to buy, how about we take you home right now?"

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Lin Qingxue, with a hint of anxiety in his eyes, but he tried his best to conceal it, for fear of being noticed by the other party.

Hearing this, Lin Qingxue shook her head gently and replied in a voice as quiet as a mosquito: "No, let's go back directly."

As soon as she finished speaking, she seemed to realize that her voice was a little too soft, and she lowered her head shyly.

At this moment, her cheeks were lightly flushed, as beautiful and tempting as ripe apples.

However, because the weather was so hot, it was hard to tell whether the slight blush was due to shyness or simply due to the heat.

Seeing this, Gu Jinxuan nodded, indicating that he understood what Lin Qingxue meant.

Then, he turned around and said to Wen Wen, the attendant beside him, with a serious face, "Wen Wen, quickly return to the mansion to find my mother and ask her to help prepare an exquisite gift. After my mother prepares the gift, you can directly deliver it to the Lin Mansion. We will go to the Lin family first."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wen Wen responded respectfully. Then he looked around and confirmed that there was nothing else that needed his attention. Then he immediately used his Qinggong skills and rushed towards the direction of the Duke of Protectorate's Mansion like an arrow.

Only Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue were left. They slowly stood up from their seats and walked towards the Lin Mansion together.

"Then let's go first!" Gu Jinxuan said softly, gazing at Lin Qingxue with a smile on his face. Joy was evident in his tone, as brilliant as the flowers blooming in spring.

Lin Qingxue nodded slightly but did not say a word. She gently took the hands of Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Huaining and walked steadily to the front of the team.

Gu Jinxuan didn't seem to mind this and continued to follow the three people slowly, like a loyal, reliable and conscientious guard.

Soon, the group slowly walked out of the neighboring restaurant. Then, they boarded the carriage that had been prepared long ago, and with the wheels rolling, they sped towards the Lin Mansion.

Inside the spacious carriage, the atmosphere was somewhat quiet. Lin Qingxue sat there quietly, not saying a word.

She gently embraced Gu Huaining in her arms, and from time to time she looked up at the brother and sister who were chatting animatedly, and occasionally cast her gaze at Gu Jinxuan who looked anxious and impatient, and a barely perceptible smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Although this journey is extremely long, it will eventually reach its end. Before reaching the magnificent gate of the Lin Mansion, Gu Jinxuan's heart was always in turmoil and he was uneasy.

At the same time, Wen Ze, who was on the other side, naturally knew how strong his prince's desire and expectation was to marry Lin Qingxue.

Because of this, Wenhe did not dare to neglect the matter entrusted by the prince. He could even go all out. He ran non-stop all the way and was so tired that his legs almost broke. Only then did he finally rush back to the Duke of Huguo's Mansion.

As soon as he stepped into the mansion, without even a moment's chance to breathe, Wenhe hurried straight to where the mistress of the house, Princess Anyang, was.

Upon meeting Princess Anyang, Wen Wen bowed respectfully and then went straight to the point, "I, Wen Wen, greet Her Royal Highness the Princess. I've come here on the orders of the Crown Prince to ask for gifts for a visit to the Lin Residence to visit the family of the fourth Miss Lin. The Crown Prince has already gone to the Lin Residence and intends to discuss with the elder of the Lin family to set a specific date for a formal meeting between the two families."

After saying this, Wen Ze was extremely anxious due to the tight time schedule. He just hoped to get the gift as soon as possible and then rush to the Lin Mansion to help the prince complete this important task smoothly.

"Alright, Madam Feng, hurry up and bring Wen Wen back with you to get the gift! This brat is always so rash and didn't even bother to tell me in advance. But, thankfully, this princess always plans ahead and has already made preparations."

Although Princess Anyang blamed Gu Jinxuan for acting too suddenly, she knew in her heart that visiting the Lin family at this moment was of vital importance and that important matters must not be delayed because of such a small matter.

"Yes, Your Highness," Wen Wen finally breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Princess Anyang's order.

Fortunately, the princess had prepared gifts in advance, otherwise, if she had prepared them hastily, there would inevitably be mistakes. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but secretly admire Princess Anyang's foresight.

Nanny Feng was the most capable housekeeper beside Princess Anyang, and her ability to do things was beyond doubt. After she responded, she led Wen Da and several maids to Princess Anyang's private warehouse.

You know, Princess Anyang is the empress dowager's biological daughter and the current emperor's biological sister. Her status is very honorable, and her private property is naturally extremely rich.

When she got married, the scene was a sensation. Although it was not as overwhelming as a hundred miles of red makeup, it was indeed ten miles of red makeup.

Each dowry box was filled to the brim with countless precious items such as gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins.

Not only that, but the huge amount of banknotes hidden in the bottom of the box and the generous betrothal gift offered by the Gu family were beyond the reach of others.

Princess Anyang has been smart and clever since childhood, and has unique insights and keen observations on business operations. Under her command, she has gathered many talented people who are proficient in business.

After years of hard work and careful management, the scale of her private library has continued to expand, and after several expansions it has become extremely impressive.

Today, as the amount of private property accumulated has become increasingly large, Princess Anyang has to find other ways to properly store these precious items.

To this end, she specially purchased a farm to store some relatively non-essential items.

However, for those important items that were priceless and of extraordinary significance, Princess Anyang chose to carefully store them in her own princess residence and sent special people to guard them strictly.

Not only that, even the prestigious Duke of Huguo's Mansion specially set aside a spacious courtyard for Princess Anyang to store these most valuable treasures.

From this, we can see how important these items are to Princess Anyang, and it is enough to prove the wealth of Princess Anyang's private property.

Nanny Feng directed everyone to move down a whole cart full of gifts. These gifts were dazzling and had everything, covering Princess Anyang's thoughts for everyone in the Lin family.

Among them, Lin Qingxue and her two lovely daughters received the most impressive number of gifts. The gifts in this car were so varied that it was dazzling.

There are pieces of exquisite cloth, colorful and soft in texture; there are nourishing products such as ginseng and bird's nest, all of which are of top quality; and there are four treasures of the study, exuding a faint scent of ink, which you can tell at a glance are carefully selected items.

In addition, there are some small and exquisite swords and other weapons, shining with cold light and extraordinary exquisiteness; and the jewelry prepared for the many female members of the Lin family is even more beautiful, with gold, silver and jewelry complementing each other and dazzling.

After Wen Wen said goodbye to Princess Anyang, he personally led the carriage full of gifts and rushed to the Lin Mansion without stopping.

When he arrived at the gate of the Lin Mansion, he happened to meet Lin Qingxue and his group. Lin Qingxue saw Wen Wen coming with so many gifts from afar, and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

At this time, Gu Jinxuan, who was following Lin Qingxue, also noticed the car full of generous gifts, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.

He thought to himself, "With so many generous gifts, I believe this visit should go smoothly and not end up in the embarrassing situation of being kicked out by the Lin family, right?"

"Young Master, Fourth Miss Lin, am I not late?" Wen Wen parked the carriage steadily and neatly to the side, then walked quickly to Lin Qingxue and Gu Jinxuan, respectfully performed a standard etiquette, and asked carefully.

Gu Jinxuan nodded slightly in response, a subtle hint of anxiety flashing across his handsome and serious face. "No, I've come at the perfect time. I wonder what my mother has to say about this matter? Also, these gifts must have been prepared by my mother, right?"

Wen Wen didn't dare to be negligent and quickly replied, "My Lord, this cart full of gifts was carefully selected by Madam Feng herself and her subordinates. Moreover, most of these precious items came from Her Highness the Princess's personal treasury."

After saying that, he raised his head slightly and observed Gu Jinxuan's expression. Seeing that he did not show any dissatisfaction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After getting the answer, Gu Jinxuan nodded slightly, indicating that he understood. Then, he turned to look at the graceful Lin Qingxue standing beside him, his eyes unconsciously revealing a hint of uneasiness. He said softly, "Qingxue, shall we go in?"

Although he was somewhat unsure about this rash visit, he was well aware that good things take time. As long as he could finally win the girl's heart, it would be worth it for him even if the process was full of twists and turns and hardships.

"Come in!" Lin Qingxue stared at Gu Jinxuan deeply, and her gaze seemed to be able to penetrate his soul.

Of course, she would not miss the nervousness in his eyes, but at this moment, she was also in a state of confusion and had no time to comfort him.

Lin Qingxue gently stretched out her hands, holding Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Huaining's small hands tightly on the left and right, and then walked to the front of the team with firm and light steps.

The two little guys followed Lin Qingxue's footsteps obediently, their faces filled with curiosity and excitement. Gu Jinxuan looked at Lin Qingxue's back as she walked away with the children, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

But he quickly calmed down and caught up with big strides. His agile figure was like an arrow shot from a bow, and in the blink of an eye he was next to Lin Qingxue.

At the same time, Wen Wen and others saw their masters walking into the gate of the Lin Mansion one after another. They did not dare to delay at all and hurriedly began to unload the many items loaded on the carriage.

Although the things in the car were piled up like mountains, making people dizzy, Wen and his team were well-trained and quick-handed. After running back and forth two or three times, they finally succeeded in moving all the items into the front hall of the Lin family.
