Chapter 522: Remain in Favor for a Lifetime

Watching the little one’s nonchalant attitude, Tang Shijun secretly sighed. “I won’t feel hurt as long as I don’t compare myself to others. From now on, I wouldn’t refer to myself as a rich family’s young lady.”

Compared to the Jun Residence, she was just a poor pauper.

Now, everyone said she was extremely lucky to have gained Qingluan’s favor.

She wanted to reply, “She want to be in Qingluan’s favor for a lifetime.”

Seeing her looking so disheartened, Gu Qingluan couldn’t help but stifle a laugh. “Go ahead, the effects of the Wu Shen Fruit are only that remarkable the first time you eat them. It won’t be as noticeable if you eat more in the future.” Tang Shijun felt exhausted to the point of indifference.

Since they, mother and son, didn’t care about the value of the Wu Shen Fruit, she would turn her sorrow and anger into strength—by eating!

Gu Qingluan smiled as she looked at her. “Weren’t you going to discuss something important with me? Are you referring to the rumors outside?”

Tang Shijun shook her head. After swallowing the Wu Shen Fruit in her mouth, she pursed her red lips and said, “No, I came to seek your opinion. The Crown Prince plans to hold a charity event after your wedding. What do you think?” After taking part in the charity event at Jun Residence the last time, Tang Shijun noticed that they were still actively involved, so she decided to continue her participation.

Gu Qingluan left all matters to the Crown Prince, but Tang Shijun couldn’t just be a bystander. After all, she wasn’t like Qingluan, who could order the Crown Prince around.

Over time, she made a lot more contact with the Crown Prince, and they became familiar with each other. Whenever the Crown Prince had questions or needed advice from Gu Qingluan, he would let her run errands.

“What about the specific timing?”

“You can do whenever you like,” Gu Qingluan replied. “We don’t need to wait until after the wedding. The new students at Qiankun Academy will get enrolled soon, and it will take at least half a month to travel from Tianjing to the academy. After the wedding, we’ll have to begin our journey, and 1 won’t have the time to stay in Tianjing.”

Originally, she planned to leave after resolving the Gu family’s troubles.

However, with the sudden wedding preparations, her plans were disrupted, and her schedule became very tight. She couldn’t afford to be delayed by other matters.

Tang Shijun hesitated. “Are you suggesting that we hold the charity event before the wedding?”

Gu Qingluan nodded. “Is there enough time for that? If it’s too rushed, I can skip it. When the time comes, 1 can still express my intentions in other ways.” She wasn’t seeking fame; attending or not attending was secondary.

“No, that won’t do! You must attend. You are the initiator of this charity event, and you’ve also donated a considerable sum of money. You can’t hide from the limelight. It should be possible to do it in time, and if it’s not, we’ll find a way to make it happen. However… Are you able to spare the time? My mother said that brides-to-be are busy for several days before the wedding. Typically, the bride’s family takes care of these matters, and even so, the bride is quite occupied. You’ll be on your own, so won’t it be too hectic? Don’t exhaust yourself.” Tang Shijun expressed her concern.

Gu Qingluan replied, “I’ll be fine on my end. Do I look that busy to you?”

She shook the travel journal she had just picked up and gestured for her to look.

Indeed, every time she came over, Qingluan always had a carefree demeanor.

Tang Shijun smiled. “It seems like the groom-to-be really dotes on you, not willing to let you tire yourself out. If those gossipers outside knew, they would be utterly humiliated.”

Regardless of who Young Master Feng really was, having this kind of consideration made her appreciate him more than anything else.

“Then 1 won’t keep you any longer. I need to quickly coordinate with the Crown Prince and discuss the arrangements for the charity event. If we’re moving the date up, we need to get to work.”

After saying this, Tang Shijun was about to leave in a hurry.

Gu Qingluan told her to pack the remaining Wu Shen Fruits and take them with her to share with the Crown Prince and the Tang family.

Tang Shijun hugged her with a smile. “Qingluan, you’re truly wonderful! I’m really jealous that Young Master Feng gets to marry you. How about you consider me? Actually, men can’t be compared to women. They’re all so insensitive, and after getting married, their attitude would change completely. They lack femininity. 1 can keep the bed warm, serve tea, and chat with you. I won’t ask for a single penny from you, and 1’11 even contribute. How about it?”

“Ahem!”

A light cough came from outside the door.

Everyone turned to look.

They noticed a tall and upright man standing at the entrance.

“Daddy!”

Gu Xiaonan and Feng Yuanxi shouted in unison.

Tang Shijun’s smiling face froze.

Darn!

How come this person walked without making a sound? His timing was a bit too coincidental!
