The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 191

Chapter 191: 123 Repaying Kindness (Second Update)

The man left immediately after sending Xiao Jingkong home, before Gu Jiao even had a chance to thank him.

Gu Jiao asked Xiao Jingkong about the incident and, upon learning that he had recklessly risked himself to save a chicken, felt he shouldn’t have done so.

However, Gu Jiao did not rush to criticize.

With a deep frown, Xiao Jingkong asked, “Big brother said I shouldn’t have done it. Jiaojiao, do you also think I was wrong?”

Gu Jiao asked him back, “What do you think?”

Straightening his chest, Xiao Jingkong defended, “I think I did the right thing! If I were in danger, Jiaojiao would also rush in to save me without thinking!”

Well, even an idiom came out all of a sudden.

Gu Jiao advised, “But, have you ever considered that maybe Xiaoqi didn’t need your help?”

“Huh?” Xiao Jingkong was perplexed.

Gu Jiao patiently clarified, “Xiaoqi is very nimble and small, the horseshoe would hardly trample it, but it could easily trample you.”

Suddenly, Xiao Jingkong realized something: he was less clever than a chicken!

He secretly vowed to practice more diligently, to become very nimble and protect his chicken!

A few days later, Lord Gu and his company also arrived in the Capital City.

An arduous journey of more than a month had taken a toll on the three. Gu Jinyu, unused to such uncomfortable rides, felt as if his entire body was aching.

The Yao Family’s lady had no complaints, as she was grateful for riding in this carriage. She would have rather endured the hardship than to have Jiaojiao or Yanyan suffer.

“It must have been tough on you.” She took Gu Jinyu’s hand, guiltily apologizing.

With a tender voice, Gu Jinyu addressed, “I’m fine. My little brother couldn’t have tolerated such jostling. I’m glad you reserved the carriage for my sister and brother.”

The Yao Family’s lady patted Gu Jinyu’s hand, “Always you are the understanding one.”

Lord Gu helped the lady and Gu Jinyu off the carriage.

The household servants were pleased to see Lord Gu and Gu Jinyu, but taken aback by the lady accompanying them.

She had lived in the Villa for ten years without once returning home. The young gatekeepers didn’t even recognize her.

With a cold voice, Lord Gu demanded, “What are you standing there stunned for? Aren’t you going to pay your respects to the mistress?”
