The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1268

Chapter 1268: 618 Mega Local Tycoon (Second Update)

Emerging from the study room, Xiao Hen went to the adjacent room of Marquis Xuanping.

Although Marquis Xuanping didn’t need a new plaster cast, he still had to use a wheelchair.

He was already aware of Gu Yan’s situation, and even though he didn’t understand what an operating room was, he knew that if even Gu Jiao was at her wits’ end, the only hope to cure Gu Yan lay in Yan Country.

"Don’t even think about it, no idea, not having it, and even if there was, wouldn’t give it to you,"

Without waiting for Xiao Hen to explain his purpose, Marquis Xuanping flatly refused three times in a row.

Xiao Hen frowned at him, "Do you know what I’m about to say?"

Marquis Xuanping leaned back in his chair and looked at him indifferently, raising an eyebrow, "Who exactly was the Yan Country slave woman who gave birth to you? Did she leave behind any token? If so, could you have it?"

Xiao Hen felt the blow to his soul.

Indeed, he was his father.

"What, you’re thinking of going to Yan Country?" Marquis Xuanping asked with a seemingly casual air, "Do you know there are people in Yan Country who want to kill you?"

Xiao Hen was of course aware.

But this wasn’t a reason for him to back down.

He said, "Only Yan Country has the thing Jiaojiao needs, and with that, Gu Yan can be cured."

So, the girl could be cured; she was just lacking the essential items.

"Your wife has quite some skill," Marquis Xuanping said with a touch of pride.

"Back then..." Xiao Hen seemed unsure how to address her and after a moment of thought, he asked, "Did that person truly leave nothing behind?"

"Nothing. She cleaned away even the traces of her hair to cut off ties with you," said Marquis Xuanping before realizing his words might be misconstrued, adding quickly, "Not what you are thinking; she was afraid of holding you back."

It wasn’t that she didn’t want you.

Xiao Hen was silent.

He never doubted that woman’s feelings for him; otherwise, she wouldn’t have chosen to kill Xiao Qing just to leave the antidote for him.

Sometimes he would be curious, what kind of woman was she? One who could bring herself to kill even a newborn baby?

Was she like the Nangong clan members who hurt Gu Yan, criminals who disregarded human life?

But even if she was, he had no right to blame her; his life was one she secured with all her wrongdoings.
