Gu Qingluan naturally didn’t know that there was such a situation in the Gu family.
She estimated that there wouldn’t be much money left for the Gu family to use. She only wanted to make things worse for them but didn’t expect them to be so impoverished.
If she knew, she would definitely celebrate with joy.
At the appointed hour of the afternoon, Gu Zhixin arrived as scheduled.
Taking the one million taels of gold, Gu Qingluan threw a vial of medicine at him.
Gu Zhixin frowned. “What do you mean? What about Mr. Liu?”
“This is the medicine given by Mr. Liu. It can cure Wang Shi.”
Gu Zhixin became cautious when he received the vial.
He gently opened the bottle cap and saw that there was only one pill inside, causing him to doubt, “Can this pill really cure my sister-in-law?”
“Mr. Liu doesn’t plan to ruin the reputation of the Island of No Return,” Gu Qingluan said sarcastically.
Only then did Gu Zhixin feel relieved.
In a hurry to save someone, he didn’t waste any more time and took his leave.
Feng Yuanxi entered through the side door.
“Mother, why did you give him the antidote? That Madam Wang is so wicked; it would be better if she died from the poison!” Feng Yuanxi asked, puzzled.
Gu Qingluan patted his head and said, “Even those who are harmless can react aggressively when they are cornered or in a desperate situation. Moreover, they are from the Gu family. We can’t kill them yet. Wait a little longer. When the time is right, I won’t let them off.”
Feng Yuanxi didn’t know what time Gu Qingluan was referring to, but no matter what she said, he unconditionally supported her.
“Mother, there shouldn’t be any more bad people coming to disturb us, right? You said you would accompany me, but there are always people coming to take up your time, and you can’t focus on being with me.” Feng Yuanxi pouted unhappily.
Gu Qingluan smiled and pinched his mouth, which was raised high enough to hang soy sauce. “Yes, I have instructed the servants that no matter who comes to visit today, I won’t entertain them.”
Finally, Feng Yuanxi revealed an adorable smile.
At night, the little boy and Gu Qingluan lay in the same bed. His eyes were wide open, reluctant to close.
Gu Qingluan sensed his unusual mood and asked what was wrong. Feng Yuanxi pretended that nothing was wrong and shook his head.
“It’s getting late. Sleep quickly, or you’ll have panda eyes tomorrow.”
“What’s a panda?” Feng Yuanxi blinked his eyes.
“Have you forgotten? I told you before that pandas are fierce and cute animals.”
It was peculiar. Her son had always possessed a sharp memory, yet there were instances when he seemed to forget certain things from the past.
Gu Qingluan examined his face.
He was definitely her son, her biological son!
Who had the ability to defy the laws of nature? She was just over thinking things!
“Alright, go to sleep. We can talk about it tomorrow.”
Gu Qingluan covered his eyes with her hand.
Suddenly, her palm felt wet.
Gu Qingluan was taken aback and moved her hand away.
A pair of watery eyes came into view.
“Why are you crying?” Gu Qingluan frowned, her heart aching. She asked softly, “Did someone bully you?”
Who dared to bully her son?
She would never spare them!
A strong aura suddenly emanated from her.
Feng Yuanxi sniffled, his voice slightly hoarse. “Mother, will you leave me?”
“Silly child, why would you think such thoughts? How could 1 leave you?” Gu Qingluan gently wiped away the tears from his face with her finger.
“But what if we accidentally get separated, will you come find me?”
Gu Qingluan said seriously, “Yes, no matter where you are, I will find you. No one can separate us.”
She secretly thought to herself, Did someone say something misleading in front of Xiaonan?
The number of people in this mansion is not large, and they were carefully selected by Su Lie. They shouldn’t have spread baseless rumors in front of him. The only outsiders who came to the mansion today were the Fifth Prince and Gu Zhixin’s group. Could it be them?
It seems that the lesson she gave them today was not deep enough, and they still have the energy to cause trouble!
Suppressing the anger in her heart, Gu Qingluan met her son’s pitch-black eyes.
“Really? Will you really come find me?”
“Of course.”
“Mother, you must keep your promise.”
“Yes, we pinky swear, and once we do, we can’t go back on it.” Gu Qingluan extended her little finger.
Feng Yuanxi imitated her and extended his little finger.
Gu Qingluan smiled and hooked her little finger with his, shaking it left and right a few times. “Now, are you reassured?”
“Yes!” Feng Yuanxi looked at her with bright eyes.
“Can we go to sleep now?”
Feng Yuanxi nodded, rolled into Gu Qingluan’s arms, hugged her neck, kissed her cheek, and then buried his face in her neck, tightly closing his eyes.
Thinking that he was just being shy, Gu Qingluan burst into laughter.
She pulled up the blanket and covered them both.
The next day, Gu Qingluan paid special attention to her son’s mood, but when she saw that he had returned to normal and went to play with his new favorite, she finally felt at ease.
Taking advantage of her absence, Feng Yuanxi secretly left the Jun Mansion with Xiao Mei, heading straight for the palace..
