Chapter 325: A Worthy Son for Mother
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Feng Yuanxi spoke tenderly, “Mother, I visited the Fifth Prince’s treasury in the palace a while ago and helped him tidy it up. I stored the items in my storage bracelet, but I forgot to give them to you.”
Gu Qingluan couldn’t believe her ears.
Her son’s words were so refined.
Visiting and tidying up?
Was he sure it wasn’t a plunder?
Now she understood why Qitian Yu had been so furious at that time.
If someone ransacked her treasure, she would go mad too.
But well, she could only blame Qitian Yu for causing his own troubles by trying to capture her son.
If he hadn’t done that, none of this would have happened.
In any case, karma had its way. Qitian Yu was now dead, and talking about it wouldn’t change anything.
Gu Qingluan kissed her son on the cheek. “Since you worked hard to organize all of this, you can keep them for yourself. But remember, you can’t just casually clean out other people’s treasuries; it might bring trouble.”
Feng Yuanxi nodded obediently. “I understand. The Fifth Prince is a big villain.
1 cleared out the treasury to divert his attention. I won’t go into others’ treasuries casually. But now that the Fifth Prince is dead, these treasures are useless to him. Can I give them away?”
Gu Qingluan didn’t expect him to want to give them away and asked curiously, “Who do you want to give them to?”
“I want to give them to the sisters at the back mountain. They suffered so much because of the Fifth Prince; he should compensate them. And with some of the remaining wealth, I’d like to buy food for the poor in the city. Mother, is that okay?”
“Of course! That’s wonderful! 1 never expected our Little Yuanxi to be so kind-hearted. You’re truly a worthy son.”
Gu Qingluan found herself pleasantly surprised by Yuanxi’s arrangements.
She couldn’t help but steal a glance at the man nearby.
Although Yuanxi held a prominent social status, his sincere care for the well-being of common folk and those facing adversity suggested a wholesome upbringing and positive influences in his life.
This seemingly reserved individual had done an excellent job in teaching Yuanxi.
Feng Yuanxi blushed slightly, a bashful smile tugging at his lips, and his eyes sparkled even more brightly.
Mother praised him!
Watching this, Gu Xiaonan couldn’t help but feel envious.
He wished he could receive such praise from his mother too.
But lately, he hadn’t done anything worthy of praise.
Gu Xiaonan rested his chin on his hand, deep in thought.
Well, he seemed to be getting into trouble more often.
No, he couldn’t let Yuanxi outshine him!
What if Mother liked Yuanxi more in the future?
Soon, he came up with an idea.
He tugged at Gu Qingluan’s sleeve. “Mother, mother!”
“What’s the matter?”
Gu Qingluan turned to look at him.
“Mother, 1 think when Yuanxi is distributing porridge, 1 can organize a free clinic for the poor who can’t afford medical treatment. They should not only eat well but also be in good health,” Gu Xiaonan suggested with sparkling eyes.
Gu Qingluan saw his excited expression and quickly figured out his intention, finding it amusing.
Although Xiaonan was doing this to compete with Yuanxi, she welcomed this healthy compet.i.tion.
Back on the island, Xiaonan was her only child, and he was spoiled beyond belief. She hadn’t expected him to come up with such ideas.
She agreed to Xiaonan’s proposal.
Gu Xiaonan cheered, “Mother, you’re the best!”
Gu Qingluan and her two sons discussed how to organize this charitable event. Suddenly, Jingyu received a message from his subordinates and whispered a few words to Feng Tianlan.
Feng Tianlan’s expression changed slightly..
