The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 152

Chapter 152: 109 Little Sun Sun (Two watches combined into one)_5

Gu Jinyu held the ginseng soup on the tray without uttering a sound.

The little maid complained, “On such a hot day, the second young lady actually went into the kitchen to make ginseng soup for her mother and even burned her hand. What has that mistress done? As soon as she arrives, the mistress takes such a biased stand…”

“Enough, she is my sister who has suffered a lot. It’s only right that mother cherishes her.” After saying this, Gu Jinyu left with a despondent air.

For several consecutive days, nobody in the mansion brought up the matter about returning to the Capital City. The villa seemed to return to peaceful and auspicious days.

Only when a pair of horses and a carriage arrived at the villa, did they disturb the peace that had lasted for many days.

The lord of the Gu family, dressed in official attire, tidied up and personally awaited the other party’s arrival at the villa’s main entrance door.

A squad of dozens of guards stood in a row, from the leading carriage hauled by four horses, a young man in a white robe slowly descended.

The young man’s white robe was as pure as snow, and distinguished beyond comparison.

The lord of the Gu family flicked the wide sleeves of his official robe, stepped forward, and respectfully saluted: “I, greet the Prince of An Capital!”

The youth addressed as the Prince of An Capital lifted his hand slightly and said coldly yet courteously, “Marquess Ding An doesn’t need to be overly courteous, my sister and I are traveling across the land and this time we’re rushing back to Capital City for the provincial examinations. We happened to pass by and I apologize for our sudden visit, I hope Marquess Ding An wouldn’t mind.”

Lord Gu laughed, “Prince An is too respectful, it’s my honour that the Prince and your sister could visit my humble residence! As it’s hot, why don’t Prince An and Miss Zhuang come in and have a talk.”

Prince An nodded, slightly turning his head, he spoke to the carriage behind him, “Why aren’t you getting off the carriage yet?”

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a sprightly young girl poked her head out. She turned her eyes curiously as if she was a little intrigued, and then with the assistance of her servant, she hopped down.

She stood by Prince An’s side, “Brother! Is this the villa with the hot spring?”

“Greet Marquess Ding An,” Prince An told his sister.

The young girl pouted her lips, took a pose and saluted Lord Gu.

Lord Gu’s title was below Prince An’s, and although the young girl was his sister, she didn’t bear any rank, so according to the rules she indeed needed to salute Lord Gu.

However, setting aside the rules, the young girl held a precious identity, and although she saluted due to her brother’s authority, her attitude didn’t show much reverence.

Lord Gu laughed, took it lightly as if he didn’t see it, and led the siblings into the villa in a pleasant mood.

Once inside, the Yao Family and Gu Jinyu had inherited the news, as they were women, it wasn’t proper for them to greet the guests outside, so they waited respectfully for the arrival of Prince An in the Flower Hall of Tingtao Pavilion.

Madame Yao was detached from the Capital City many years ago and was not at all concerned about the changes within, she had never heard of this Prince An, and Gu Jinyu, therefore, took time to patiently narrate the legendary life of Prince An.

“He is the legitimate grandson of Grand Tutor Zhuang, and is only eighteen this year.”
