Feng Yuanxi hummed and said, “Don’t divorce Royal Father, we can just make him sleep in his study!”
If Mother divorced his bad Royal Father, he’d surely need to follow him and couldn’t live with Mother any more.
Gu Xiaonan raised an eyebrow and glanced at his red eyes, pouting, “Sleeping in the study is being too lenient to him. If he were to bully children again, we’d make him kneel on durian husks! Yes, and make him copy ‘The Records of Cloud Plains Spirit Plants’ a hundred times.”
‘The Records of Cloud Plains Spirit Plants’ had many complex characters, much harder to write than ‘Three-Character Classic,’ and it was a thick book that would tire him out, keeping him from bothering Mother!
He thought wickedly in his heart.
Feng Yuanxi pursed his small lips. “That’s a good idea!”
Feng Tianlan coldly chuckled. “Am I the father here, or are you guys the fathers?”
These two kids actually want to punish him?
“Mother-” Gu Xiaonan immediately ran to Gu Qingluan and tugged at her skirt, asking in a childish voice, “What do you think of Xiaonan’s suggestion?”
Asking while blinking his own extremely cute big eyes, he shot a flirtatious look at Gu Qingluan.
Feng Yuanxi also looked at her with watery eyes.
With both of her sons looking at her like this, their eyes filled with the same eager desire, even if she had a heart of steel, she couldn’t refuse.
Moreover, this idea sounded quite good!
Kneeling on durian fruit and copying books, who would even think of that?
She enjoyed watching the excitement and didn’t mind making it a new rule in their family.
“Oh, that’s great! Mother is the best!” Gu Xiaonan hugged her thigh and jumped around happily.
Feng Yuanxi happily planted a kiss on her cheek.
Only Feng Tianlan’s face seemed to be covered by a dark cloud.
He squinted his eyes, staring at Gu Qingluan menacingly. “Are you sure?”
Gu Qingluan curled her lips, “I think it’s pretty good. Don’t you like our family rules?”
She smiled, appearing quite approachable.
But Feng Tianlan could be sure that if he dared to object, there would be consequences.
Furthermore, hearing her say “our family rules” inadvertently softened his heart.
Our family rules…
She might have pretended to be married to him, but deep down, was she slowly accepting him?
The word “like” slipped out of his mouth involuntarily.
Gu Qingluan was somewhat surprised. She thought that he wouldn’t have said he’d like it even if he were to accept it.
Would he let the three of them, mother and sons, bully him?
A smile couldn’t help but creep up at the corner of Gu Qingluan’s lips.
Qi Tianyou, as the crown prince, lived up to his reputation. He handled things without any ambiguity, both efficiently and effectively.
When Gu Qingluan mentioned wanting to organize the charity event before their wedding, it was ready within a day.
This charity event was divided into two parts. The first part was an auction, and the second part was divided into several major projects, including distributing porridge, providing medical care, building schools, and establishing relief houses, among others.
The second part couldn’t be completed overnight.
However, the auction could be held first.
The reason for hosting such an auction was twofold. First, it was to deal with the treasures in the Fifth Prince’s treasury.
To realize the value of these treasures, there were two ways: either pawn them directly, sell them at a pawnshop or a jewelry store, or put them up for auction.
Holding an auction could maximize the value of these treasures, thus raising more money to help the poor.
The second reason was to build a reputation.
Through the auction, they could gather the wealthy of Tianjing, gaining more support.
This auction was not just for the treasures in the Fifth Prince’s mansion; anyone who wanted to donate could contribute, and their donations would also become auction items, with the proceeds going to charity.
Gu Qingluan donated a bottle of Ninth-grade Spirit Pill and a hundred pieces of Wu Shen Fruit.
The Ninth-grade Spirit Pill was produced by the Island of No Return.
Everyone knew about her deep connection with the Island of No Return. After all, back then, Mr. Liu from the Island of No Return even moved into the Jun Residence. So, her contribution of a bottle of Ninth-grade Spirit Pill wasn’t surprising.
However, being able and willing to contribute were two different things.
It was the Ninth-grade Spirit Pill from the Island of No Return!
Many people were willing to go to great lengths to acquire it. Whenever it was put up for auction, it sparked intense competition and a chaotic frenzy as numerous individuals vied for it.
In this charity auction, Gu Qingluan had actually donated a bottle of Ninth-grade Spirit Pill. It was simply extravagant!
Even those who weren’t originally interested in the auction were now compelled to participate, all because of that Ninth-grade Spirit Pill..
