The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 151

Chapter 151: 109 Little Sun Sun (Two watches combined into one)_4

Lady Lai slowly began to stir from her slumber, and upon opening her eyes, she saw a small child.

The child was chubby, round and cute.

Lady Lai waved to the child.

The dog-like child was timid and frightened, quickly retreating. Coincidentally, Administrator Lai emerged from the room just then and the child waddled over to him and clutched his leg: “Daddy… Daddy…”

Daddy?

Lady Lai looked from her son to the small child, her aged and cloudy eyes brightened suddenly.

The Bodhisattva had shown mercy!

She had a grandchild!

Due to Gu Jiao’s ongoing refusal to return to the residence, this delay also held back Marquis Gu and Gu Jinyu from returning to the Capital City. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Originally, Marquis Gu had planned to return to the Capital City by the end of June, bringing along the Yao Family and the twins. However, both Yao Family members and Gu Yan had stayed back because of Gu Jiao, much to the consternation of Marquis Gu.

Gu Jinyu was even more upset.

Lady Shu had promised to hold a grand Coming-of-Age ceremony for her and, at that ceremony, to confer upon her the title of “County Princess”.

The title of “County Princess” was a very rare honor. Becoming a “County Princess” meant that even if the news of her not being the biological child of the Gu Family were to be revealed, her social status wouldn’t be greatly affected.

But if she was unable to return at all, what could be said about the Coming-of-Age ceremony?

Gu Jinyu was so anxious and upset that she developed a blister on her lips.

When Marquis Gu visited her and saw her in such a state, he couldn’t help feel distressed: “How are you caring for the young miss? Don’t you know to avoid preparing spicy food in such hot weather?”

The maidservant replied, “It is a misunderstanding, Marquis. The young miss has been eating very lightly these days. Her condition is due to pent-up stress.”

Gu Jinyu sighed: “You shouldn’t speak carelessly. All of you, leave us.”

“Yes.”

The maidservants left.

Gu Jinyu said to Marquis Gu, “Father, I am truly fine.”

Marquis Gu frowned, “Nonsense, you are troubled. You haven’t been smiling much lately.”

Gu Jinyu lowered her gaze, “I miss grandmother. She is old and had a fall at the beginning of the year. Although she healed, she isn’t as nimble as before. I don’t know how much longer I will be able to show her filial piety.”

The Yao Family stated: “We can do it at the Villa as well.”

Marquis Gu retorted: “I can’t stay at the Villa forever, can I? If the mother is present, the father must be there as well.”

Yao Family considered it for a moment: “Why don’t you return to Capital City first and come back on the day of her Coming-of-Age ceremony?”

Marquis Gu: “…”

Why was it so difficult to bring his wife and children back to the Capital City?

Despite Marquis Gu’s best persuasive efforts, the Yao Family refused to relent.

Marquis Gu asked: “What will it take for you to return to Capital City?”

Yao Family replied: “When Jiaojiao returns, I will return.”

Marquis Gu: How could that girl possibly return!

Gu Jinyu was delivering a bowl of ginseng soup to the Yao Family and inadvertently overheard their conversation from outside the door.

Her personal maidservant was also there.

Having been with Gu Jinyu and knowing her and Gu Jiao’s background, the maidservant felt indignant on behalf of her young mistress: “Why does Lady Yao only wish to return to the Capital City when Miss Jiao returns? Isn’t Miss Jin Yu her daughter, too? In these past years, it has been Miss Jin Yu who has been diligently showing filial piety to Lady Yao. Lady Yao is bearing too much partiality!”
