The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 110

Chapter 110: 93 Visiting (Second Update)_2

Hehehe, young man, let’s see who uncovers whose secrets first.

Gu Jiao returned to her room with the bronze plate in hand.

She was certain that Xiao Liulang had rummaged through her first aid kit, likely last night.

Usually, outsiders couldn’t open her first aid kit, but she was confused by her fever last night and seemed to have forgotten to lock it.

Those strange supplements and family planning items, did they appear after Xiao Liulang had touched the kit?

With a fierce look, Gu Jiao glared at the small first aid kit, “If you dare produce these useless items again, I’ll burn you with a fire!”

A chill wind blew by, leaving the first aid kit as quiet as a chicken.

After breakfast, Gu Jinyu started packing for her journey. She had promised the Yao Family that she would pay her respects to Gu Sanlang’s grave.

Before she left, she went to see Lady Yao and Marquis Gu, “I should be able to run into my sister in the village, right? I want to see her.”

Lady Yao did not object.

But Marquis Gu was worried that Gu Jiao’s temper was too fierce and that she might bully Gu Jinyu. After all, the two girls had had disputes before.

Marquis Gu had Huang Zhong and an experienced nanny accompany them.

Due to the excitement from the previous night, Gu Yan fell asleep during breakfast and was now snoozing in the bedchamber, completely oblivious that he had missed the opportunity to go to the countryside.

Gu Jinyu climbed into the carriage. The young maid and nanny sat in another carriage, while Huang Zhong led a few guards to escort them on both sides.

Halfway through the trip, Gu Jinyu lifted the curtain of the carriage window and looked at Huang Zhong who was riding beside the carriage. She asked kindly, “Sir Huang, you’ve met my sister. What kind of person is she?”

“Ah… This…” Huang Zhong was at a loss for words.

An unruly woman who physically confronts her father?

Huang Zhong cleared his throat and said, “I have met Miss Gu, but I have not had a conversation with her.”

Gu Jinyu regretfully smiled, “Same for me. I didn’t have a proper conversation with her. If I knew she was my sister, I wouldn’t have treated her like that. I’m so stupid, I didn’t even recognize my own sister.”

Huang Zhong thought to himself, you wouldn’t recognize her because she’s not your birth sister. Look at young master Gu Yan, he bonded with her immediately. There’s a difference between blood-related and not!

But he didn’t dare to say that out loud.

The truth about the two daughters is not yet known in the Marquis Residence, only he and a few young master who know the truth. But secrets can’t be concealed forever, it’s up to the Marquis and his wife how they choose to disclose it.

Huang Zhong has visited the village several times, and has thoroughly investigated the information, including the graves of Gu Sanlang and his wife.

Gu Sanlang died a dishonorable death and according to village customs, couldn’t be buried in the family graveyard. His grave was quite far from the Gu family’s auspicious burial ground. Madame Xun was buried next to him, supposedly at her own request before death.

The carriages stopped at the entrance of the village. Their arrival, especially that of Gu Jinyu who looked like an angel, couldn’t help but attract the attention of the villagers.

Gu Jinyu wore a veil, and beside her were well-dressed maids and a nanny. _{freewёbn૦νeɭ.com}

The villagers had never seen a city miss and were taken aback.

“Miss, watch your step!” The village roads are rough, and Huang Zhong was concerned that the delicate Miss Gu could fall.

Gu Jinyu, clinging to the arm of the maid, found the uneven dirt road rather troublesome for her delicate feet.

Once the group moved away, the villagers started chatting.

“Hey? Who are they?”

I don’t recognize them. That man seems to have been to our village a few times, asking a lot about the Gu family.”

“Hey! Look, they are going towards Gu Sanlang’s graveyard!”

“Could they be from the Xun family?”

There were no such grand relatives in the Gu family, so the villagers could only guess that they were from the Xun family.

The Xun family was not from the village and was better off than the Gu family, considered half city folk. But after Madame Xun’s death, the Xun family cut off contact with the Gu family.

When Gu Jinyu reached the graveyard, she saw a figure in simple hemp clothing, thin and standing by the grave with a coolie hat on his head and a small basket on his back.

“Sister… is that you?”
