The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 914

Chapter 914: 420 Reunion (second update)

Since the other party had chosen Yuan Tang as the scapegoat, his life should be safe for the time being, at least until the wife of Prince Rui could testify against him.

Gu Jiao left Prince Rui’s mansion.

She boarded the Medical Hall’s carriage.

She had not gone far when the carriage was stopped by someone.

It was Yuan Tang.

Yuan Tang approached the carriage, lifted the curtain, and said to Gu Jiao, "I thought about it all night after returning to the palace yesterday. The more I think about it, the more something seems off. You just asked me if I had any connection with the crown princess of Zhan Country, and then I was chased down for murder. Tell me honestly, do you know something? Is this matter related to the royal family of Zhan Country?"

Gu Jiao replied indifferently, "No comment."

If I tell you the truth and you reveal your whereabouts from that day, making a perfect alibi for yourself, then the wife of Prince Rui would lose her value in pointing the finger at you.

And that would put the wife of Prince Rui in danger.

So, for the safety of the wife of Prince Rui, I’ll let you, distinguished Prince Chen of Yuan Tang, endure some hardships for now.

Gu Jiao seized the curtains, smiled, and said, "There may be continuous assassination attempts against you these days. Be careful."

Having said that, she let the curtain fall and told Xiao Sansi, "Let’s go!"

The carriage sped away!

Yuan Tang was so angry he started hopping.

"Hey, hey! Make yourself clear! Who is trying to assassinate me?"

Ah!

This girl!

Speaking half-truths, how infuriating!

Yuan Tang exploded on the spot, roaring, "Girl! Don’t think you can stay out of this! If someone wants to kill me, couldn’t they also go after you? Do you think you can escape? You’ve been in this with me from the start!"

Gu Jiao wasn’t truly letting Yuan Tang face danger. Since the other party had failed an assassination attempt and had no clear read on Yuan Tang’s capabilities, they would likely not act a second time too quickly.

...

Before noon, Gu Jiao arrived at Sihai Villa.

Gu Jiao found herself curiously admiring the surrounding scenery.

The second business owner said, "I apologize for the spectacle you witnessed."

Gu Jiao replied, "Not at all, it was quite interesting."

The more despicable Hu Hong Tu acted, the less mercy they could afford him when they clashed in the future.

Gu Jiao asked, "Do you need my help?"

The second business owner declared firmly, "No need, I can squash such a stepson easily!"

The second business owner was not the person he used to be, he was Niohuru—the second business owner!

Since the second business owner had said so, Gu Jiao decided not to get involved in their fraternal dispute.

She stayed at the villa for a night, getting to know many merchants from the Capital City through him and also demonstrated her own exceptional medical skills, confirming the capabilities of Miaoshou Hall to the business gathering.

She returned as planned in the afternoon of the next day.

She was hurrying back for the Moon Eve Festival, which was the Mid-Autumn Festival of her previous life—a perfect time for family reunions and moon appreciation.

She couldn’t celebrate properly last year due to the autumnal exams, but this year everyone was present.
