C9 What Was the Mysterious Box That Was Priceless?

Gu Jun’an looked at her and thought, This little girl is so cunning. She even knows how to make marks.

When Lan Qingqian went to sleep at night, Gu Jun’an quietly found a wet handkerchief and wiped her mark. He moved an inch down and drew another line.

The corner of his mouth curled up into a wicked smile.

He was still too young to fight with him!

When she woke up in the morning, Tang Qian washed her face and she immediately found a piece of ink to measure her height. She drew another line and showed it to him with her small hand. Her eyes were wide open. “Wow, she really grew so much!”

She raised an inch and rushed to the place where she ate breakfast.

She kept going until she was in front of Gu Jun’an. “Old son-in-law, those are really immortal fruits. I ate one and I actually grew so much!” She put it in front of him as if she was afraid that he wouldn’t see it. Her eyes were bright and happy.

Gu Jun’an nodded expressionlessly and continued to drink the porridge.

Lan Qingqian said eagerly, “When can I eat another one?” She believed that it wouldn’t take long before she could go home.

The three chiefs looked at her and couldn’t help but praise her in their hearts. It was true that the older the person, the spicier the dish. The prince was really cunning. He had seen it clearly last night. The prince had changed the size himself. It wasn’t the fruit that grew taller!

Wasn’t the little bean sprout shorter?

She felt a little sympathetic towards him. He had tricked her when he met her.

“If you do well, I will secretly give it to you when the fruits grow. If you do not do well, I will give it to someone else. Three Seven also needs it!” She even looked at Three Seven.

Three Seven was very eager to survive. He nodded in agreement. “That’s right, Your Highness. Your subordinate is still waiting in line.”

Lan Qingqian believed him and immediately moved to his side. She said, “Old Marquis, don’t give it to Three Seven. He is poor and doesn’t have anything. I can use my treasure to exchange for it.”

Gu Jun’an looked at her. “Eat your breakfast first.” The hope of returning home was close. Lan Qingqian’s appetite also improved. She even pushed the porridge in front of her to him. “Old Marquis, drink more porridge!” She was trying to curry favor with him. It was rare for him to be so generous.

Gu Jun’an did not argue with her and did not expose her thoughts.

After the meal, they saw Lan Qingqian sneakily hugging a small yellow rosewood box. She stuck her head out of the door and peeked around.

Three Seven asked, “Your Highness, what are you doing?”

Lan Qingqian raised the item in her hand and deliberately shouted, “Look, I have something good!” However, she kept looking inside the study room as though she wanted to attract someone’s attention.

Three Seven: Can you be more obvious?

Seeing that San Qi didn’t reply, Lan Qingqian also didn’t notice him. Lan Qingqian immediately held the box with one hand and waved her fist with the other hand. She warned San Qi in a low voice, “Let me show you what’s in it. If you don’t answer, I’ll hit you!”

San Qi thought to himself, [How can you be so childish at such a young age? I can see that. Can’t the prince see that?]

He said weakly, “Your Highness, what’s in this box? Let me see it.”

“How can I show you? Unless you have something good that can be exchanged?”

San Qi was speechless. [Isn’t this fishing?]

The person in the box lowered his head and didn’t say anything. Lan Qingqian thought for a while and mumbled. She walked in with the box in her hand. She put the box on the table and said, “Give me another Divine Fruit. I’ll trade it with my treasure.”

Gu Jun’an didn’t even bother to look up. “I’m not interested.”

Lan Qingqian frowned and emphasized again, “This is good stuff. My sisters all want it.” Gu Jun’an suddenly thought of the small bag she carried on the tree the other day.

It seemed to be the red wooden box she carried on the tree the day of her wedding. It seemed that the red wooden box was very important to her, so she wanted to carry it with her at all times. When she came down from the tree, she carefully grabbed the bag.
