The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106: 92 Life Story (First Update)

Gu Jinyu felt as though she had gone from heaven to hell overnight. Overwhelm, fear, sadness, and the anguish of losing her parents intermingled at the bottom of her heart, like a?gigantic net ensnaring her entire being. “Your mother wants to find a time to arrange a meeting between you and the Gu Family…”

Yao had said much more, but Gu Jinyu did not hear a word of it.

Yao gently took her hand, urging her to rest well.

That night, as Gu Jinyu lay in her luxuriously plush bed, she tasted insomnia for the first time.

A great wind began to shake the leaves outside, causing them to whirr loudly.

Gu Jinyu lifted the blanket and left her bed, opening the door to a fierce gust of wind pulling at her robes and hair.

“Ah! Miss, why are you outside? The wind is so strong! You might catch a cold!”

The night maid quickly approached, intending to usher Gu Jinyu back inside.

With a glacial demeanor, Gu Jinyu said, “I couldn’t sleep, so I wanted to take a walk.”

“Ah… But it’s very late…” The maid noticed that Gu Jinyu had no intention of returning to her room, so she swallowed her words of caution. “Wait a moment, Miss, let me fetch a cloak for you!”

“Hmm.” Gu Jinyu nodded.

The maid found a soft cloak from the wardrobe and helped Gu Jinyu put it on.

As she gazed at the cloak she now wore, Gu Jinyu quietly recited, “Fine horses painted in myriad colors, precious furs worth a thousand gold coins, boys are sent to exchange them for fine wine.”

The maid replied, puzzled, “Miss, what’s wrong? Why are you suddenly reciting poetry? Are you trying to write a poem?”

The maid did not understand poetry. Yu Ru, who had before, was unfortunately driven away by Gu Yan.

Gu Jinyu lifted a corner of her cloak and murmured, “Do you know what a ‘precious fur worth a thousand gold coins’ is? The cloak I’m wearing is one. Some people could abstain from food and drink for generations and still not afford a garment like this.”

The maid understood this, she giggled, saying, “Of course, Miss is a lady of the Marquis Residence! You can’t be compared with ordinary folk!”

“What is your name?” Gu Jinyu asked.

“This servant’s name is Xiaoli.” The maid replied.
