The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 133

Chapter 133: 104 Baby (First update)

When Marquis Gu and Huang Zhong returned to the villa, hobbling and limping, it was already late at night.

They wanted to return earlier, but for several hours, they couldn’t budge.

When Gu Jinyu saw the two men covered in wounds, he couldn’t help but wonder, “Dad, Guard Huang, what happened to you guys?”

Marquis Gu was too embarrassed to tell the truth and grumpily said, “We had a car accident.”

Gu Jinyu froze, “What happened to the carriage? Why would there be a car accident?”

Marquis Gu glanced at Huang Zhong, “Huang Zhong was drunk driving.”

Huang Zhong: “…”

They say trouble always comes looking for you, well, here it is!

Gu Jinyu furrowed his brows, “Guard Huang, why were you drinking?”

Huang Zhong glanced at Marquis Gu, “Marquis Gu made me drink.”

Marquis Gu: “…”

At the end of April, the ten-day holiday of Tianxiang Academy arrived. Gu Xiaoshun, who had been living in the dormitory for many days, could finally go home!

Even though he wasn’t in the village, he knew exactly what was happening at home. To be precise, as long as Little Monk knows, he would know too.

Because since Little Monk started private school, the three of them would have lunch together daily.

Little Monk’s private school originally provided lunch, but he couldn’t eat it because it had pork fat. Xiao Liulang had no choice but to bring him out to eat.

Since they are brothers, he naturally would not leave one out.

In his private school, Little Monk was a quiet kid who rarely spoke. But in front of Gu Xiaoshun, he transformed into a little chatterbox, babbling on and on about the entire house’s affairs.

When Gu Xiaoshun first heard that Gu Jiao was the wrong child they brought up, he was so shocked that he could hardly stand. Then, hearing that the young master of the Marquis Residence moved in, Gu Xiaoshun was almost about to faint from surprise!

Little Monk was clearly unhappy with this sudden rival, Gu Yan, who was now competing for attention in the house, his words filled with helpless undertones.

“But, there are some bright sides too, you have your own room now, and you can stay at home from now on!”

Gu Xiaoshun cheered up pretty quickly.

No wait, he was always quite cheerful.

Gu Xiaoshun was not a child who craved attention. He was neither sensitive nor delicate, and people’s jealousy and envy went straight over his head.

Perhaps it was related to the environment he grew up in, where he was always the overlooked one, the one whose heart gradually numbed. Therefore, he did not develop the possessiveness that Little Monk and Gu Yan had.

Probably for this reason, Little Monk was very accepting of Gu Xiaoshun.

Once home, Gu Xiaoshun met Gu Yan.

“Wow…”

Little Monk had been complaining about Gu Yan for the past few days, but never mentioned that Gu Yan was indeed very good-looking.

Gu Xiaoshun was transfixed.

Seeing Gu Xiaoshun looking so simple-minded, Gu Yan quickly came to the conclusion that he was not a rival to be worried about, and took a liking to him.

Though he was a bit jealous that Gu Xiaoshun had grown up with Gu Jiao, he was still grateful for his companionship during the loneliest days of Gu Jiao’s life.

He even took a beating for Gu Jiao.

That’s solid camaraderie.

Gu Yan clapped Gu Xiaoshun on the shoulder, a brotherly gesture, but before he could say, “From now on, we’re brothers,” he felt his hand going numb…

Darn it!

Was this big lug’s shoulder made of iron?

So hard!

The pampered Gu Baobao’s palm instantly turned red…

Gu Jiao went to fetch water.

“Jiaojiao! I’ll go too!” Little Monk quickly grabbed his mini yoke and small wooden bucket, picked them up and went off with Gu Jiao to fetch water.

Gu Yan also wanted to go.

He could only manage to lift Little Monk’s mini yoke and small wooden bucket, but that would be too embarrassing, wouldn’t it?

Gu Yan tried to lift the wooden bucket lying next to the water vat but couldn’t budge it after a long while.

Gu Xiaoshun said, “Let me do it!”

Gu Yan asked, “You’ll fetch water for me?”

Gu Xiaoshun thought to himself, I just need a bucket for fetching my water, but if you want to put it that way, sure!

Thus, Gu Xiaoshun “helped” Gu Yan fetch water.

Having been made to do all the hard labour by Mrs Liu while growing up, Gu Xiaoshun’s strength had no way of dissipating except by fetching water vigorously!

Watching Gu Xiaoshun dumping bucket after bucket of water into the vat, Gu Yan’s lips curled up in satisfaction.

It was water fetched by Gu Xiaoshun; it was his!

After merely looking at Gu Xiaoshun, Gu Yan’s perception improved significantly. Then, during a meal, when he and Little Monk were both waiting for Gu Jiao to serve them food, there was only one sweet potato ball left.

“Give it to Xiaoshun!” he said generously.

“Mm.” Little Monk nodded seriously, he had no objections.

After the meal, Gu Jiao cut some fresh fruit, leaving only one piece once again.

Gu Jiao hated having to decide who to give the last piece to, so she’d normally plan everything beforehand. However, today Gu Xiaoshun came home and disrupted their normal dining routine.

In the past, the elder and younger ones would have started arguing over who Jiaojiao should give the last piece to.

But today–
