The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1088

Chapter 1088: 526 Group’s Pet Jiaojiao (Two Updates)_2

How many military officers had died, what was the price paid, how many civilians had been displaced, how many times she had narrowly escaped death—all of these were left unmentioned.

The Yao Family also knew that their daughter preferred to report good news rather than bad, so she didn’t press her any further. Smiling, she wiped away her tears and said, "It’s Lunar New Year, let’s not talk about this now. It’s good that you’re home. Is your grandfather and your two brothers all right?"

Gu Changqing was ordered to go north, a fact known throughout the Capital City. Although Gu Chengfeng sneaked out, he caused Lord Gu to suffer a caning. Once Lord Gu investigated, he understood that the boy had gone north to find the elderly Lord.

Gu Jiao nodded, "They are all doing quite well."

All three had been injured, but they were recovering nicely.

Gu Chengfeng was the most resilient to beating and was the first to heal.

Gu Changqing’s injuries were also not serious, and now only the elderly Lord needed careful recuperation, rehabilitating in Capital City with Tang Yueshan.

The Yao Family glanced at Gu Xiaobao, who was being jostled back and forth by Gu Yan’s grip, and said to Gu Jiao in a gentle voice, "When your grandfather returns, we should still visit him at the residence."

"Mhm."

As sworn brothers, a visit was a must!

The Yao Family had endless topics to discuss with her daughter until Gu Xiaobao grew hungry, and then she carried Gu Xiaobao away to be fed.

The chief libationer also inquired about the frontier situation; he wasn’t as easy to deceive as the others in the family.

He had been exiled to the borders for five years due to Zhuang Jinse’s machinations and knew just how harsh the frontier could be.

"Ah, you’ve had a hard time," the chief libationer sighed with depth of feeling, "You don’t know how much Ahen has been concerned about you; he’s been entering the palace every three days. The ministers thought he was eager to climb the ranks, but in reality, it was all to find out about the frontier situation."

Xiao Hen had just come out from the study room and happened to hear the chief libationer’s words. By chance, Gu Jiao looked his way, leaving him uncertain whether to advance or retreat.

He cleared his throat and said, "That was me caring about military intelligence."

Gu Jiao: "Oh."

The chief libationer then inquired about the remnants of the former dynasty, "Did the Prince of Yi and the prince consort really die?"
