Chapter 513: Mother Is Shy

Gu Xiaonan then scrutinized her expression. Mom, are you sure?
Under the watchful eyes of her two sons, Gu Qingluan felt somewhat uncomfortable.
Matters of romantic feelings werent something to discuss in front of children.
However, Xiaonan and Yuanxi were not ordinary kids.
Due to certain circumstances and their five-year separation, both children had developed a sensitivity beyond their years.
So, Gu Qingluan believed they should understand her thoughts.
She continued, I think so, at least not like before when 1 couldnt stand him.
When she first encountered Feng Tianlan, she genuinely saw him as an annoying man she wanted to beat him up every time they met.
And indeed, she had actually beaten him more than once.
A faint smile unconsciously curled up at the corner of Gu Qingluans lips. She didnt notice it herself, but the two little ones who were closely observing her certainly did.
Oh, it seemed like Mother did genuinely develop feelings for Dad!
Xiaonan turned his head to exchange glances with Feng Yuanxi.
For Feng Yuanxi, this outcome was more than welcome.
If Mother liked Dad, then Mother would marry Dad, and they could all return to the Holy Capital together. In the future, he could live with Mother as well.
Feng Yuanxis lips couldnt help but curl upward in delight.
It seems good this way.
Gu Xiaonan didnt object either.
In his heart, he also yearned for a complete family.
However, what 1 told you is a secret between us. You cant share it with anyone else, especially not your Dad.
Is Mother feeling shy?
Gu Xiaonan teased with a grin, turning towards her.
Gu Qingluan pinched his nose with her slender jade-like fingers. You talk too much.
Hehe! Mother must be feeling shy! Gu Xiaonan chuckled, raising his hand before Gu Qingluan could get angry. Dont worry, Mother, Ill definitely keep this a secret and wont reveal anything.
Feng Yuanxi chimed in, I wont say anything either.
After speaking, he covered his mouth with his soft, fair hand.
Facing her two adorable sons, the worries seemed to have lightened considerably.
Gu Qingluan extended her arms to embrace them both. Alright, time to sleep. From now on, no more talking.
Mmm!
Watching the two children close their eyes, Gu Qingluan then closed her eyes to rest.
Outside the room, Feng Tianlan initially planned to quietly enter while the children were asleep to talk to Gu Qingluan and get some answers, but Gu Qingluan had erected a barrier.
With his strength, breaking the barrier was not difficult.
However, it was unnecessary, as doing so would only irritate Qingluan.
He wasnt tired, so he decided to go deal with the accumulated official matters.
After being away from the Holy Heaven Dynasty for such a long time, he received news from the capital. The Holy Emperor of the Holy Heaven Dynasty was urging him to return.
Now that he was eager to catch up with his wife, even if there were pressing issues in the Holy Capital, they had to wait.
For the matters that couldnt be postponed or required his personal attention, he would need to make time to address them.
After a good nights sleep, he felt refreshed.
The palace sent over a pile of things again, claiming that she had contributed to the capture of the fugitive, Lady Liu.
In addition, the Emperor learned that the Jun Family were providing porridge and medical care to the citys poor, and he praised her actions. He sent the Crown Prince to negotiate with her and jointly organize a charity event.
On the surface, it was to support Gu Qingluans actions, but in reality, it was to enhance the reputation of the royal family.
As they say, those who win the hearts of the people, win the world. Gu Qingluan gained even more favor through this act of kindness.
How could the Emperor, who occupied the throne, truly feel at ease?
But Emperor Xuanzong couldnt stop Gu Qingluans actions, so he decided to participate himself and take this opportunity to make a name for himself.
Gu Qingluan could see the Emperors hidden agenda but didnt reveal it and accepted it willingly.
Her acts of kindness were never about gaining fame. It all began because Yuanxi wanted to use the ill-gotten wealth they had plundered from the Fifth Princes treasury for a meaningful cause.
Yuanxi wanted to use that unjust wealth to help the poor and beggars in the city. With such a pure-hearted request, how could Gu Qingluan refuse?
Her two sons wanted to help others, and she would undoubtedly fully support them.bender
There were quite a few treasures plundered from QTianyus treasury. Todays porridge and medical care wouldnt cost that much. She was originally considering whether to organize more events, but now that the Crown Prince was offering to help, it was simply perfect.
So, when Qi Tianyou cautiously brought up the idea, Gu Qingluan revealed a pleased smile.
Seeing this, Qi Tianyou not only didnt relax but became even more nervous.
This Father has good intentions. If you dont want to
I want to! Why would I reject it? Gu Qingluan raised an eyebrow.
Qi Tianyou was stunned. You agree?
Yes, then Ill trouble His Highness the Crown Prince with the arrangements for the venue and manpower. Ill bring Xiaonan and Yuanxi with me when the time comes. Theres something I forgot to tell you. When I went to the Fifth Princes mansion to rescue people earlier, I accidentally took away a storage room full of treasures. I think those things should be ill-gotten gains the Fifth Prince obtained through means. Apart from compensating the imprisoned women who suffered both physical and emotional trauma, the rest should be used for charity. Since His Highness the Crown Prince will oversee everything, Ill hand over those treasures to you. I hope you can make the best use of them. I acted on my own initiative before; His Highness the Crown Prince wont blame me, will he?
Qi Tianyous mouth twitched.
She accidentally take them away?
Who would believe that?
But he wouldnt say something like that.
We should give back everything that was taken from the people. Your actions are commendable. However, when did 1 become the one overseeing everything?
Gu Qingluan replied with a playful smile, Right now..
