The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1440

Chapter 1440: 705 Xuanyuan Father and Son (two more updates)

This was a serene afternoon.

The people and horses in the house had all rested, exuding a tranquil peace throughout.

Gu Jiao didn’t touch the Red-Tasseled Spear, choosing instead to go beside the well and wash the clothes.

The summers in Yan Country were more humid and hot than in Zhan Country, with a sticky atmosphere in the air, and especially because of the cloth binding her chest, it was so hot one could almost suffer a heat stroke.

Gu Jiao hung the washed clothes on the line one by one, and while she was halfway through, a series of urgent horse hoof sounds came from outside the door.

At first, Gu Jiao didn’t pay much attention, but the sound of the hooves stopped at the gate of her own house.

Gu Jiao’s first reaction was that Gu Chengfeng had arrived. _{fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com}

Xun Fengxian of Tianxiang Pavilion couldn’t keep an eye on him, and Chengfeng’s actions had always been relatively free, as for why she didn’t suspect Xiao Hen, it was because Xiao Hen had been very cautious recently.

He had said nothing, but Gu Jiao could roughly guess; that day in order to let her catch the son of the Han Family in a sack, Xiao Hen had lured the Prince of Ming away, and afterward, Han Shuo must have realized that Xiao Hen did it intentionally.

But the son of the Han Family didn’t have any evidence, and couldn’t grow distant from the Prince of Ming just based on a suspicion, so he could only secretly send people to watch over.

However, soon Gu Jiao heard a continuous stream of hoofbeats.

There were not only carriages but also a troop of horsemen.

This definitely wasn’t Gu Chengfeng.

Nan Shi Niang happened to wake up and heard the noise outside, she put on her veil, went over to open the door to have a look, and asked, "Who’s there?"

Before she finished speaking, she was shocked into silence by the scene in front of her.

A luxurious carriage accompanied by a squad of guards had stopped at her doorstep; the curtain was lifted, and down from the carriage stepped a man in his early twenties, well-dressed, tall and imposing.

His expression was very cold, carrying a certain arrogance and murderous intent of someone from a high position, clearly not bearing good intentions.

Nan Shi Niang’s gaze darkened as she spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Who are you all?"

Han Shuo glanced at the woman wearing a veil and initially didn’t pay much attention to her, but her tone made him take a second look.

He asked an attendant by his side, "Are you sure it’s here?"

An attendant bowed, "Yes, your highness, that day when the minor ones went to the Yamen to inquire about the whereabouts of your steed, they encountered several thieves under custody, who said they found a very impressive black horse in this mansion!"

A black horse?

Could it be—

Nan Shi Niang’s gaze faltered, was this young man the owner of the black horse at home?
