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

Seeing this, Gu Jinxuan quickly reached out his other hand, gently stroking Lin Qingxue's silky hair, and softly comforted her, "Don't worry. Even if you and I are both busy with work in the future, you can always return to your parents' home to visit your grandparents, uncle, and other relatives whenever you have time. It's a pity that your husband has a public office and is extremely busy on weekdays. I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you often."

As the two were talking, a small figure came running towards them like the wind. It was Gu Huaiyuan. His delicate face was slightly flushed, and his eyes showed a hint of expectation.

Running closer, he couldn't wait to ask, "Dad, Mom, I'm going to the Lin family to visit my great-grandmother and great-grandfather tomorrow! I want to know what I should pay attention to during this time. Should we prepare some gifts?"

Hearing his son's question, Gu Jinxuan couldn't help but smile slightly. He extended his broad palm and gently stroked Gu Huaiyuan's head, saying in a gentle voice, "My child, when you pay your respects to the elders, remember to be dignified and steady in your greetings, and be humble and polite in your words and deeds. Once you see the elders appear, you must take the initiative to greet them. Don't be rude in front of others! As for the gifts, you are still young, and your parents will take care of these trivial matters."

Lin Qingxue, who was standing nearby, also smiled softly and echoed, "Huaiyuan, there's no need to be too reserved or worried. Just act naturally and generously. Your great-grandmother and great-grandfather are both very kind people. They will definitely like you very much."

After saying that, she looked at her well-behaved and lovely stepsons in front of her with eyes full of love. Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Huaining were indeed raised by Princess Anyang, and they had good manners.

Gu Huaiyuan nodded seriously, his eyes showing determination: "I will definitely perform well and not let my father and mother down."

"Okay, it's getting late. We have to get up early tomorrow. Huaiyuan, take your sisters back and rest!"

Seeing that the children were still staying in their room at this time, Gu Jinxuan couldn't help but ask them to leave. He wanted to hug his wife and go to bed early!

"I understand, Daddy, Mommy, let's go back to sleep then," Gu Huaiyuan also knew that it was time to go to bed, so he took his three sisters out of the yard.

Looking at the children, Lin Qingxue's heart was filled with warmth. Suddenly, she remembered something and said to Gu Jinxuan, "Jinxuan, I want to prepare some gifts for the elders and brothers and sisters-in-law at home. I don't know if they are appropriate."

Gu Jinxuan nodded and said, "As it should be. I have asked someone to prepare some rare teas, fine silks, and small toys for the children. Please see if there is anything else you need."

Lin Qingxue gazed at the man in front of her with gratitude, her eyes revealing a hint of warmth and trust. "My dear husband, you are so thoughtful and considerate. With your arrangements, I feel much more at ease. Since we are husband and wife and have always been of one mind and mind, I will leave all these matters to you to take care of and prepare!"

It was late at night, everything was silent, and the moonlight sprinkled across the courtyard like water. The children had already returned to their respective rooms to rest under the gentle care of the maids.

Lin Qingxue gently took Gu Jinxuan's arm, slowly walked into the house, and began to make the final and careful preparations for tomorrow's homecoming ceremony.

Inside the house, the candlelight swayed slightly, and the flickering flames illuminated the figures of the two people leaning against each other. The picture looked particularly warm and beautiful, like a delicate and detailed painting.

After all, they are newlyweds, and their life as a couple is naturally sweet, happy, harmonious and enviable.

The next morning, when the dawn broke and the sky in the east turned pale, Xuanxue Garden was already bustling with activity.

Many servants shuttled back and forth between the courtyards, methodically carrying all kinds of precious gifts prepared in advance to the gorgeous carriage parked at the door.

At the same time, the four lovely children also changed into new and bright clothes, and each of them looked energetic and radiant.

Lin Qingxue sat in front of the dressing table and let the maid dress her skillfully. Her eyebrows and eyes were picturesque, her skin was whiter than snow, and her every frown and smile was extremely moving.

Meanwhile, Gu Jinxuan stood quietly by, admiring his beautiful wife. His eyes were filled with deep affection, and he couldn't help but whisper in admiration, "Qingxue, you are truly as beautiful as a fairy today!"

Hearing this, Lin Qingxue's cheeks flushed bright red like the sunset. She glared at her husband and whispered, "You only know how to say sweet words to cheer me up. You know, you've seen so many women from prominent families, all of them are so beautiful, so stunning, and I'm just the daughter of an ordinary family. How can I compare to them?"

"To me, you are the peerless beauty who can captivate the whole country. Anyone else will pale in comparison. What do those people look like? Humph! I haven't even taken a look at them." Gu Jinxuan shook his head gently, staring at Lin Qingxue with his eyes as deep as a pool of water, and said solemnly.

Hearing this, Lin Qingxue's heart felt as if a jar of honey had been poured into it, and a sweet feeling instantly spread.

She lowered her head slightly, her cheeks flushed, as beautiful as the peach blossoms blooming in spring.

At this moment, a group of well-trained servants were seen moving various items onto the carriage quickly and orderly.

These items not only included the daily necessities of Lin Qingxue and Gu Jinxuan, but also the generous return gifts carefully prepared by Princess Anyang. Wow, they filled up five large carts before they stopped.

After everything was packed up, everyone boarded their respective carriages. With a crisp crack of the coachman's whip, the carriages began to move slowly forward.

Sitting in the car, Lin Qingxue clasped her hands tightly together, her heartbeat gradually quickening. The closer she got to the Lin family's house, the more uneasy she felt.

As if sensing his wife's nervousness, Gu Jinxuan gently stretched out his right hand and lightly held Lin Qingxue's slightly cold little hand, as if he wanted to convey endless strength and courage to her through this simple action.

Not long after, the magnificent mansion of the Lin family finally appeared in front of them. From a distance, they saw the vermilion gate open, and two familiar figures standing in front of the gate - Lin Qingxue's uncle and aunt.

They had been looking forward to it for a long time, and when they saw their niece's carriage slowly approaching, their faces immediately broke into ecstatic smiles, which were like the warm sun in winter, warm and kind.

"Qingxue, my dear child, you are finally back! How have you been these past few days? Is the Gu family treating you and the children well?"

Aunt Lin walked forward anxiously, hugged Lin Qingxue tightly, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.

Lin Qingxue's eyes also flushed, tears welling up in her eyes. She said with a choked voice, "Auntie, Uncle, I miss you too. Don't worry! The Gu family treats me and the children very well. My parents-in-law are very kind."

Gu Jinxuan, who was standing aside, hurriedly took the children to greet everyone in the Lin family. The two little guys, Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Huaining, bowed politely and respectfully, looking well-behaved and sensible, and instantly won the joy and love of the Lin family.

"Oh my, look at these two children. Not only are they so cute, but they also behave so politely. You can tell they are very well-educated!" Uncle Lin praised with a smile on his face.

Afterwards, everyone walked into the mansion together, crossed the courtyard, and went straight to the spacious and bright hall.

At this time, the Lin family had already sat in front of the hall, everyone was talking to each other, the atmosphere was very warm, and laughter was heard one after another.

Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue worked together to deliver the carefully prepared gifts to each relative one by one. Each gift was unique, which drew praises from the Lin family.

Mrs. Lin couldn't wait to grab Lin Qingxue's hands and carefully looked her up and down, her concern evident in her words: "Qingxue, tell me quickly, are you used to living in the Gu Mansion? Have you been wronged in any way? If anyone dares to bully you, just tell me, and I'll bring your brothers to support you."

Lin Qingxue smiled and shook her head gently, then replied softly, "Grandma, don't worry! Jinxuan has always been considerate and caring towards me. My parents-in-law are also very understanding and considerate. They take good care of me on a daily basis. Everything is fine in the Gu Mansion."

While the adults were chatting happily, the two little kids, Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Huaining, could not contain their curiosity and began to look around. Their big, round eyes kept gazing at the strange and novel environment around them, and their faces were full of excitement that they could not hide.

Lin Qingming saw two small figures walking towards him from a distance. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a friendly smile, and walked forward to ask, "You two little guys, do you think it's fun here?"

Gu Huaining blinked her big, watery eyes, which sparkled like two black gemstones. She replied crisply, "Uncle, there are so many people in our family. It must be very lively here!"

Lin Qingming laughed heartily, patted Gu Huaining's little head, and replied, "Of course not. With so many people here, it's naturally very lively! If you really like this home, I'll talk to your mother and ask her to bring you back often. Then, your uncle will call your eldest cousin and take you to the village to stay for a few days. It's much more interesting there than here!"

After saying this, Lin Qingming looked at the lovely brother and sister in front of him with a smile on his face, and after hearing these words, the already bright smiles on Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Huaining's faces became even more sincere.

Especially when they realized that the Lin family did not have any rejection of them, the joy in their hearts was beyond words, and the brother and sister could not help but cheer.

"Okay! That's great! When we have a day off, we must ask mother to bring us back here to stay for a few days," Gu Huaiyuan and Gu Huaining agreed without any hesitation.

At this moment, on this side, Lin Qingming was having a great conversation with the brother and sister of the Gu family. The topics came one after another, and the atmosphere was harmonious and warm.

On the other side, Old Man Lin and other family members also held Gu Jinxuan tightly and kept asking him various questions.

During this brief period of time, the entire Lin family hall was filled with a warm and cheerful atmosphere. Everyone was chatting with laughter or sharing interesting stories in each other's lives. It was very lively.

After lunch, Lin Qingxue and Gu Jinxuan stayed together to continue chatting with the Lin family, reminiscing about the good times in the past and telling stories about their experiences since they separated.

At the same time, the children were having fun in the spacious yard. They were running and chasing each other, with laughter and chatter, as if they wanted to fill the whole world with joy.

During this period, Lin Qingxue also mentioned to her family that she planned to keep the children at home to study. Upon hearing this, the Lin family nodded, expressing their agreement and support for this idea.

After all, a good education is crucial for children!

"The teacher the Gu family hired must be excellent! After all, it's the Gu family. Their financial resources and status are there. The teacher they hired to teach their children must be a man of great learning and talent. The children can study at home with peace of mind and can also take care of each other. How wonderful is that."

Old man Lin puffed on his pipe and spoke slowly. Although he himself had not read much, he still understood this truth after living for so many years.

And in his opinion, given the Gu family's generous conditions, the teacher they hired must have extraordinary knowledge.

At this time, Mrs. Lin, who was sitting nearby sewing shoe soles, took over the conversation: "That's right! Let the children study hard and have a bright future. It's more important than anything else. At home, everything is fine, so you don't have to worry about it! But then again, among my grandchildren, the ones I'm most worried about are Qingxue and Qingyue."

As she spoke, Mrs. Lin stopped what she was doing, looked up in the direction of Lin Qingxue and Lin Qingyue, her eyes full of love and concern.

Hearing this, Uncle Lin laughed heartily: "Your grandparents are absolutely right! Jinxuan, it's really not easy for you and Qingxue to be together. You must cherish this fate in the future and live a prosperous life. This is better than anything else!"

After saying that, Uncle Lin patted Gu Jinxuan's shoulder gently to express his encouragement. Before they knew it, it was already evening.

As the sun sets, a gorgeous sunset glow appears on the horizon. Seeing that it is getting dark, Lin Qingxue stands up and says goodbye to her family with Gu Jinxuan.

The children followed them obediently, their little hands tightly holding the corners of the adults' clothes. The family came to the door, said goodbye to each other, and then Lin Qingxue and Gu Jinxuan took the children on the carriage.

With the driver's crisp whip sound, the carriage started slowly, the wheels rolled forward, and gradually drove away from the Lin family.

Lin Qingxue sat in the carriage, looking back through the window at the Lin Mansion that was getting farther and farther away. The familiar gate, high walls, and every blade of grass and tree in the yard were becoming more and more blurred.

Her eyes couldn't help but become moist, and her heart was filled with endless reluctance. This place held so many beautiful memories for her, and now she had to leave, how could she not feel sad?

However, she knew that life must go on and she must bravely face the challenges of the future. Her future battlefield would be in the Gu family, not the Lin family.
