The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 182

Chapter 182: 119 Entering Beijing (Second Watch)

Considering how difficult it would have been for his brother-in-law to score first place given his poor performance, Xiao Net decided to praise him once he returned home.

However, when he got home, he discovered that there was no need for him to praise his brother-in-law as there were already many people in the house doing so! These were all people who had come to congratulate his brother-in-law!

See, he was right, wasn’t he? His brother-in-law’s grades were indeed low, so everyone was pleasantly surprised when he scored first!

Being ignorant of the value of placing first in the exam, Xiao Net decided to hold back his own commendation.

After everyone had left the house, Xiao Net found Xaio Liulang tidying up things in the west room.

Xiao Liulang was amused by the sight of the little fellow, hands on his hips, striking a pose like a little adult. He asked, “Do you have something to say?”

“Mhm.” Xiao Net nodded seriously, his small figure looking much like a teacher in class, even his voice carried an air of seriousness, “You’ve heard enough praise all day, I won’t add to it. Just because you’ve been praised doesn’t mean you should be arrogant, you need to be humble and study even harder. Otherwise, if you don’t get the top score next time, people will laugh!”

Xiao Liulang looked at him. “Who’s going to laugh? You?”

Xiao Net snorted, “I have better things to do! If you don’t top the test, you won’t be able to support the family, and I’m too young!”

Xiao Liulang smirked, “Didn’t you say it didn’t matter if I didn’t do well on the test before?”

Xiao Net was caught off guard.

Xiao Liulang chuckled, “Remember now?”

“No, you’re misunderstanding! I never said that! “Xiao Net decisively exercised the privilege of a child: denying responsibility!

He learned this from the knowledge he gained in elementary school and his deskmate who only spent a day with him had taught him this trick!

Afterwards, Xiao Net quickly changed strategies and went to follow Gu Jiao like a tail!

At dinner, Gu Jiao shared the news about Xiao Liulang going to Guilozijian Academy.

“Aren’t you going?” the old lady asked.

Gu Jiao replied seriously: “Why would I go? I don’t study, I have no interest in Capital City, none at all!”

Everyone looked at her incredulously. After all, they remembered who had been singing and crying about wanting to go to Capital City the other night.

Gu Jiao couldn’t be left alone at home, she could cope for a day or two with the help of Xue Ningxiang, but any longer and it would be unbearable.

In the end, the consensus among the family was to all go to Capital City together.

“However, can a single guide lead our entire family?” Gu Jiao didn’t want to leave anyone behind.
