Chapter 236: Betrothal

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Feng Yuanxi couldn’t contain his anger, “Shameless woman!”

Surprisingly, she had the audacity to consider herself his benefactor!

Little did he know that she was the reason for his separation from his mother for so many years!

However, he wasn’t entirely clear-headed in judging people.

He raised his damp eyes to Gu Qingluan, filled with self-blame. “Mother, I’m sorry. She’s living so well now, all because of me.”

“Yuanxi, do you know her?” Gu Xiaonan puzzled, “What’s your relationship with her?”

Feng Yuanxi explained in detail about his experiences involving Gu Lingxue, from the time he was saved by his father until he left the Holy Heaven Dynasty.

Gu Xiaonan was left wide-eyed, and after a moment, he angrily exclaimed, “What a shameless woman!”

He added, “Your father is truly foolish! Mistaking a villain for a benefactor!”

Feng Yuanxi was just a newborn when he was saved; he couldn’t distinguish whether Gu Lingxue was good or bad, so the primary blame should be directed at the Demon King.

Despite often displaying intelligence, he struggled to distinguish between good and bad individuals.

Although his mother was genuinely kind, he had always suspected her motives.

Ironically, he treated the truly malicious person as a benefactor.

What a big fool!

The more Gu Xiaonan thought about it, the angrier he became.

“He’s still your father…” Feng Yuanxi stammered.

“I don’t have such a foolish father!” Gu Xiaonan’s cheeks puffed up in frustration.

But that was an unchangeable fact.

Gu Xiaonan climbed out of bed in one gulp, full of vigor, and asked, “Well then, Yuanxi, do you want him or my mother?”

Feng Yuanxi asked softly, “Can I have both?”

“Noway!”

Gu Xiaonan’s fondness for Feng Tianlan vanished completely.

Now, in his eyes, the Demon King was worse than a beggar on the street.

His mother had gone through so much hardship, suffered so much, yet the Demon King treated the woman who harmed his mother as a benefactor. He would never forgive him!

“Feng Yuanxi, if you choose him, then go back to him and the Holy Heaven Dynasty. My mother and I will live on our own!”

“Xiaonan, let it be,” Gu Qingluan pacified him with a pat on the back.

She knew that Feng Yuanxi was facing a difficult decision.

After all, that man was his biological father, someone who had raised him since he was a child. Feng Yuanxi’s feelings for him were undoubtedly deep.

She wouldn’t force him, nor was there a reason to make him choose between the two.

“But Mother…” Gu Xiaonan pouted.

Gu Qingluan interrupted him, “Yuanxi’s father indeed made a mistake, but he was also deceived. Xiaonan, there’s no need to hate him.”

Gu Xiaonan snorted.

Anyway, he was going to start disliking the Demon King from now on!

“It’s getting late, go to sleep. We can discuss this tomorrow.”

Gu Qingluan embraced one child on each side, gently patting their shoulders to lull them to sleep.

As the two children dozed off, she too gradually drifted into slumber.

Gu Qingluan expected that Feng Tianlan would rush over once he realized Yuanxi was missing, but in the following two days, he never appeared.

She felt perplexed; could it be that he was still too affected by the poison and hadn’t recovered?

If he didn’t come, she would have more time to spend with Little Yuanxi.

In just two days, the relationship between the mother and her sons had become exceptionally harmonious.

Even the servants in the Jun Residence knew that Young Master Yuanxi was their mistress’s son.

Apart from initial astonishment, individuals like Bo He quickly accepted the reality.

On this day, while Gu Qingluan was teaching her two sons swordsmanship, a servant hurriedly reported, “Madam, the Fifth Prince has come personally to propose to you! Many people have gathered to watch!”
