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

The sunlight shines into the courtyard through the window. Lin Qingxue is playing with a group of lovely children with a smile on her face.

Sometimes they chased and played, sometimes they laughed and talked, and the whole courtyard was filled with a joyful and warm atmosphere.

Just then, the butler walked in with steady steps, followed closely by the manager of the clothing shop.

The housekeeper had a kind face and held a ruler and a notebook in her hands. It was obvious that she had come specifically to measure the sizes of Lin Qingxue and the children in order to make new clothes.

When the children saw the housekeeper coming, they were very excited and gathered around. Lin Qingxue smiled and asked everyone to stand up and be measured in turn.

The housekeeper was very skilled and quickly recorded the sizes of the five people. After completing the measurement, Lin Qingxue clapped her hands gently and signaled Donghe to go and get the exquisite fabrics rewarded by the palace.

After a while, Donghe returned to the room with several pieces of colorful and high-quality cloth. Lin Qingxue carefully selected the styles and patterns suitable for each child, exchanged opinions with the children from time to time, and finally decided on all the styles.

Afterwards, she handed the selected fabric to the housekeeper and asked her to carefully make the clothes into well-fitting and beautiful ones.

The housekeeper nodded repeatedly in agreement, saying that she would definitely live up to the trust. After we saw the housekeeper off, it was almost noon.

Lin Qingxue looked up at the sky and found that the rain was still falling with no sign of stopping.

At this time, Gu Jinxuan, who was out on business, had not returned yet, so she asked the kitchen to prepare some light and delicious dishes for lunch.

Before long, one dish after another, delicious and appetizing, was served on the table. Although the dishes were simple, they exuded an enticing aroma. Lin Qingxue and the children sat together, enjoying this peaceful and wonderful dining time.

After lunch and a short rest, Lin Qingxue took the children to the study. She planned to use this time to teach the children how to check the account books and some basic housekeeping knowledge.

The children gathered around her curiously, listening attentively to her explanation. Before they knew it, an afternoon had passed.

As it was getting dark, Lin Qingxue knew it was time to let the children go back to their respective yards for a nap. She gently reminded the children to sleep well and get enough rest. If it still rained in the afternoon, she would let them have dinner in their own yard and they didn't need to come to have dinner with them.

On this rainy night, the road was extremely slippery due to the rain. Under the cover of darkness, the vision became blurred and walking became extremely difficult.

Considering this situation, Lin Qingxue felt that there was really no need for them to run back and forth like this. After all, the roads were slippery on rainy days, and walking at night was full of danger and inconvenience. It would be too bad if they accidentally fell or other accidents happened.

Moreover, such frequent trips back and forth will bring them a lot of trouble, not only wasting time and energy, but also may affect their normal rhythm of life. Therefore, it is better to let them have a good rest and avoid unnecessary trouble and risks.

As expected, the afternoon sky was gradually covered by dark clouds. The originally sparse raindrops began to become dense, and in the blink of an eye, they poured down like a bucket.

The strong wind was not to be outdone, howling violently, blowing against the windows and trees, making a series of heart-pounding noises.

The heavy rain and strong wind intertwined to form a spectacular yet somewhat frightening scene.

In such bad weather, Gu Jinxuan hurried out to Gu Jinyu to discuss important matters concerning the Firearms Bureau with him.

Time passed minute by minute, the sky gradually darkened, but there was still no sign of Gu Jinxuan returning.

Lin Qingxue sat alone at the table, enjoying her dinner in silence. Although the table was filled with delicious food, she felt that the food in her mouth had lost some of its flavor without that person's company.

After dinner, Lin Qingxue did not stay for long as usual. Instead, she sat for a while, then got up to wash up and returned to her room to rest.

The night deepened, and everything was silent except for the sound of wind and rain outside the window. When Gu Jinxuan finally dragged his tired body into the house, it was already midnight. Lin Qingxue had already fallen asleep and was sleeping soundly.

Gu Jinxuan walked into the bedroom quietly, afraid of waking up the sleeping Lin Qingxue. He quickly finished washing up, then gently climbed onto the bed, carefully holding Lin Qingxue in his arms, feeling her warmth and softness.

Soon, Gu Jinxuan could no longer resist the invasion of fatigue. He closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep accompanied by his wife's even breathing.

The next morning, the first ray of sunlight penetrated the clouds and gently fell on the eaves of the Gu Mansion. Lin Qingxue slowly woke up. Gu Jinxuan was still sleeping beside her, with a look of peace on his face after some fatigue.

Lin Qingxue stood up quietly, afraid of making any noise to disturb him, and put on her clothes quietly and walked out of the room.

In the yard, after a night of wind and rain, the air was exceptionally fresh. Crystal clear water droplets hung on the flowers, plants, and trees, sparkling with tiny rays of light in the morning light.

"Princess, you're up! The hot water is ready, you can wash up now."

Accompanied by a gentle call, the door was gently pushed open, and Dong He walked into the house carefully with a bucket of steaming water in her hand.

Lin Qingxue was seen standing quietly by the window, her eyes fixed on the vibrant scenery outside. She turned around when she heard the voice and nodded slightly to Donghe.

Lin Qingxue took light steps and slowly walked to the basin of water. Under Donghe's considerate service, she began to wash herself. The clear water slid across her face, bringing a refreshing feeling.

After washing up, Lin Qingxue moved to the dressing table and sat down, ready to dress up carefully.

Today, she was wearing a light purple long dress, the hem of which was as light and flowing as a dancing butterfly. The skirt was embroidered with exquisite patterns, which made her figure more graceful and charming.

She gently picked up the eyebrow pencil and carefully drew curved willow-leaf eyebrows; then she used rouge to embellish her cheeks to add a touch of delicate color; finally, she applied light and elegant lipstick. The whole makeup was fresh and natural without losing its elegance and beauty.

Just as Lin Qingxue had finished dressing up, Gu Jinxuan also woke up from his sleep. Since today was a day off and he didn't need to attend court to handle government affairs, he could enjoy this rare leisure time.

So he got out of bed, came to Lin Qingxue's side, and had breakfast with her.

After breakfast, the sun was shining brightly and the breeze was not dry. Gu Jinxuan held Lin Qingxue's hand and strolled in the courtyard, feeling the beauty and tranquility of nature.

The two talked and laughed, sometimes stopping to admire the blooming flowers, sometimes looking up at the clear blue sky, their happiness was beyond words.

However, happy times are always short-lived. In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed. Ever since his last rest day, Gu Jinxuan had been busy, burying himself in government affairs all day, often leaving early and returning late.

Even Lin Qingxue was not spared and was often asked by Gu Jinyu to help in the Firearms Department. As everyone knows, the powerful bomb was made by Lin Qingxue.

Therefore, when encountering technical difficulties, Gu Jinyu naturally thought of asking her for help. Although Lin Qingxue was not a professional, she was able to provide some valuable advice and guidance with her intelligence and in-depth understanding of the principles of bombs.

Early that morning, sunlight streamed through the window into Lin Qingxue's exquisite boudoir. Just as she was about to get up and wash, there was a gentle knock on the door.

The maid walked into the room cautiously and reported to Lin Qingxue that she had just received an important piece of news: Princess Anyang and the Duke of Huguo and his wife specially invited them, as well as Gu Jinyu and his wife and their children, to go to Dongyang Garden to accompany them for breakfast.

It turns out that everyone has been extremely busy recently. The adults are busy with various affairs all day long, while the children are studying hard and learning knowledge diligently.

Princess Anyang missed these lovely children very much because she had not seen them for a long time, so she sent someone to convey her hope to get together with everyone to share breakfast time.

Lin Qingxue, who had originally planned to have a quiet meal in her own yard, made a decision immediately after hearing the news after a little thought.

She knew that she couldn't let Princess Anyang down, and being with her family was a joyful experience. She then called her husband, Gu Jinxuan, and told him what had happened.

After hearing what his wife said, Gu Jinxuan's eyes lit up, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a hint of joy. He nodded without hesitation to show that he fully agreed with his wife's idea.

Lin Qingxue turned lightly and walked towards the dressing table. She gently opened the dressing box, took out an exquisite jade hairpin and inserted it into her bun, then picked up the rouge and carefully applied it on her cheeks, making her already beautiful and refined face even more charming and attractive.

Then, she changed into a light pink silk dress, the hem of which fluttered in the wind like a blooming peach blossom. After dressing up, Lin Qingxue was as beautiful as a fairy who had descended to the earth.

Then, Lin Qingxue walked to the door with a smile and exchanged a smile with Gu Jinxuan who had been waiting there.

The two held hands, followed closely by a group of lively and cute children. The family walked out of the house, talking and laughing, and slowly walked towards the magnificent Dongyang Garden where Princess Anyang and the Duke of Huguo lived.

Along the way, the children chirped excitedly like a flock of happy little birds, discussing the upcoming sumptuous breakfast. Some said they wanted to eat sweet and delicious osmanthus cakes, some clamored for steaming hot dumplings, and some fantasized about drinking delicious lotus seed soup...

The children's innocent words and expectant smiles seemed to paint the entire street with a layer of joy.

Not long after, the group arrived at Dongyang Garden. When they stepped into the place, they found that Gu Jinyu's family of four had been waiting there for a long time.

Gu Jinyu and Princess Lin stood up with smiles on their faces and greeted Gu Jinxuan and Lin Qingxue who were slowly approaching, "Brother, sister-in-law, you're finally here!"

As soon as the words fell, Gu Jinyu and Princess Lin's two cute children followed suit and called out obediently, "Hello, Uncle and Auntie!"

The tender children's voices sounded as sweet as nature. Before Lin Qingxue could respond to the children's greetings, Gu Huaiyuan led his sisters forward and began to call people in an orderly manner.

He first respectfully bowed and greeted Princess Anyang and the Duke of Huguo and his wife, then turned to the couple Gu Jinyu and Princess Lin and greeted them with the same courtesy.

Finally, it was the turn of Gu Jinyu and Princess Lin's children. Gu Huaiyuan smiled gently and nodded to them, showing his affection.

"Jinxuan, Qingxue, you are finally here. Come and sit down to have breakfast," Princess Anyang greeted them with a smile on her face, her voice gentle and kind.

She was wearing a gorgeous long dress, the hem of which swayed gently like a blooming flower.

"Children, please sit at this table, and we adults will sit at another table," Princess Anyang said as she waved her hand gracefully, indicating that everyone should take their seats according to the arrangements.

Her beautiful face is always filled with a loving smile, like the warmest sunshine in spring.

Princess Anyang has always particularly enjoyed dining with children. Whenever she sees these cute little ones wolfing down their food, her own appetite will increase greatly.

What's more, her family has many children, each of them is so innocent, lively and cute, and just looking at them makes people happy.

At this moment, the whole house is filled with the aroma of breakfast, and the children's cheerful laughter makes this morning full of vitality and energy.

Everyone filed in, found their favorite seats and slowly sat down. They saw that the large table was filled with a wide variety of exquisite breakfasts.

These breakfasts are not only beautiful in appearance, but also emit tempting aroma, making people salivate.

The first thing that catches your eye is the plates of soft and delicious pastries, which are displayed on the plates like exquisite works of art.

Some pastries are embellished with translucent icing, like the twinkling stars in the night sky; others are meticulously carved into various lovely shapes, making people want to take a bite.

In addition, there were several bowls of steaming porridge, and the rich aroma drifted away with the steam, instantly filling the entire room.

Those colorful, fresh and juicy fruits are like gems inlaid on the dining table, emitting charming luster.

A group of lively and cute children sat happily around a table. They stared with wide eyes at the table full of delicious food, their eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

Several little guys huddled their heads together, whispering in low voices, as if they were discussing which delicacy to start with.

"Wow, I want to eat this osmanthus cake. Just looking at it, I know it must be very fragrant!"

Gu Huairen from Gu Jinyu's house was talking while staring at the golden and fragrant osmanthus cake on the plate, his little hand reaching out impatiently.

In contrast, the eldest, Gu Huaiyuan, seemed much calmer. He first smiled and handed a few spoons to the sisters around him, then reminded them in a soft and gentle voice: "Everyone, eat slowly, don't be anxious, everyone will have a share."

Hearing their brother's thoughtful words, the little girls beside him nodded obediently, then carefully took the spoon and began to taste the delicious food in front of them elegantly.

Their movements are light and slow, and their every gesture reveals a unique gentle temperament that is pleasing to the eye.
