The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1255

Chapter 1255: 611 True colors revealed

Gu Jinyu was completely shocked by that first sentence, so much so that she forgot to be amazed that he actually had Renshou Palace’s Token in his hand.

"You..."

"What? So happy you can’t speak? Don’t be like that, I always bullied you before, I was wrong. I came here today to make it up to you properly. I’ve also prepared some travel funds for you; if you economize on clothes and food, it should be enough to support you until you reach the frontier."

As he spoke, he pulled out a banknote worth fifty taels from his bosom and handed it to the shadow guard A.

Shadow guard A very tactfully stuffed the banknote into Gu Jinyu’s jewelry box.

Fifty taels... It wasn’t even enough to buy a bolt of cloth in Capital City.

Gu Jinyu opened her mouth, her eyes frantic as she looked at Gu Yan: "Yanyan, you..."

Gu Yan said impatiently: "Hurry up! The sleeping drugs won’t last long, they’ll wake up soon. If my father finds out, my second sister won’t be able to leave!"

"Yes!"

Shadow guard A went over to Gu Jinyu’s side, "Second Miss, forgive me!"

Gu Jinyu paled: "What are you doing?"

Shadow guard A hoisted Gu Jinyu onto his shoulder in one move.

Shadow guard B grabbed the trunk with one hand and the jewelry box with the other, following swiftly.

Gu Jinyu was in utter chaos: "Yanyan! Yanyan!"

Gu Yan smiled reassuringly: "Don’t worry, my shadow guards are very skilled in martial arts, they won’t be noticed by the mansion’s guards. Just leave the city peacefully and elope with my brother-in-law."

Gu Jinyu: "Yanyan!"

Gu Yan: "Don’t call out, you’ll draw father here. Or is that what you want, to bring father here to stop you? If that’s the case, it seems you’re not really sincere about my brother-in-law."

Gu Jinyu choked up: "If father finds out... he’ll punish you... I’ll be fine if I leave... What about you? I don’t want to involve you... Put me down... I’ll find my own way..."

"In the entire mansion, the last person father would punish is me; he would even beat Gu Xiaobao before me," Gu Yan raised his eyebrows, "I am sick."

Gu Jinyu: "..."

"Who’s there!"

A familiar voice suddenly rang out from the path not far away.

Gu Jinyu’s heart leapt with joy, she shouted loudly: "Yanyan! You run! It’s second brother who’s come!"

This voice could have almost carried to the old lady’s Courtyard.

Gu Chengfeng walked over briskly, accompanied by Gu Chenglin.

The two brothers watched Gu Yan proceeding with great fanfare and then looked at Gu Jinyu being carried on the shoulder of a shadow guard, both equally surprised.

Gu Chengfeng asked: "What are you doing?"

Without waiting for Gu Yan to reply, Gu Jinyu cried, "Second brother, please persuade Yanyan. He wants to help me escape the mansion, but I don’t want to implicate him."

"Escape the mansion? What do you mean?" Gu Chengfeng was utterly confused as he looked towards Gu Yan.

Gu Yan sighed: "Isn’t my brother-in-law voluntarily going to the frontier? Second sister has a deep affection for him and doesn’t want to abandon him in his time of distress, so she decided to elope with him. Once they get to the frontier, they’ll continue to fulfill their marriage pledge."

Ordinary families wouldn’t dare to elope like this—it would bring shame to the family name and also badly affect the marriage prospects of the other children.

Gu Chengfeng frowned and thought for a moment: "Gu Yan, what you’re doing is really improper."

Gu Jinyu’s heart leaped with joy.

Second brother was going to stop her.

"Alright, put her down," Gu Chengfeng said to shadow guard A.
