The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 222

Chapter 222: 135 Acting Cute (Second Update)_3

Gu Jiao wasn’t blaming the second shopkeeper, she genuinely did not understand.

Such a concept simply did not exist in her emotional repertoire.

Whoever was nice to her, she would be nice back; whoever bullied her, she would retaliate, even if it was her own father.

She looked oddly at the second shopkeeper.

The second shopkeeper had long known that she was an unconventional girl, her thoughts were different from theirs. He gave a bitter smile and patiently explained, “Actually, I can’t really explain it myself, maybe… I just remember the kindness he once showed me.”

The second shopkeeper: Something seems off!

At noon, when Xiao Liulang came back for a meal, Gu Jiao told him about the silver. There was still a thousand taels left in the house, and she may use about eight hundred.

In the study, Xiao Liulang was sorting out the books to bring to the academy. Without thinking, he said, “The silver is for you to use, you don’t need to tell me.”
