The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 239

Chapter 239: 141 Strong as a Mother (second update)_2

“I have already eaten,” Gu Jiao said, “I am here to take you out of the residence.”

Madame Yao was stunned.

Gu Jiao paused, then asked, “Are you… willing to move out and live with us?”

Madame Yao had dreamt of hearing these words, dreamt of living alongside her daughter.

But, not now.

Madame Yao reached out and touched the hair at her daughter’s temple, “Did you come over so early just to take me out of the residence?”

Gu Jiao nodded honestly.

Madame Yao looked at her daughter fondly, “Jiaojiao… have you really accepted me?”

Gu Jiao was silent.

She didn’t know.

What she could not accept was not Madame Yao, but her mother.

But Madame Yao was her mother.

Madame Yao took her daughter’s hand and said gently, “Jiaojiao made a compromise because she is worried about me. I am very touched, and also very happy. But I… still cannot move out and live with Jiaojiao.”

“There is something wrong with that mistress,” Gu Jiao said.

As expected, she was worried about her, thought Madame Yao, who touched her daughter’s cheek with a mixture of elation and bitterness, “Mother knows, mother can handle it. Believe in mother, just this once.”

If it had been before, knowing she could move in with her daughter, she would have gone straight ahead, but she already knew about the incident in the Flower Room.

She spent the whole night thinking about what to do.

Should she move out, or should she continue to stay?

Before, she didn’t struggle because she felt hopeless, as her Yanyan could be in danger at any moment; she just wanted to stay with Yanyan and avoid the drama in the Marquis Residence.

But now she felt differently.

Avoiding certain people was not enough, for they considered it a cardinal sin for her and her two children even to be alive.

What’s more, she knew her daughter had been whipped for saving her.

If she hadn’t been so helpless, her daughter wouldn’t have had to endure such a severe whipping on her account!

Her heart was bleeding!

Her daughter had done too much for her; she could not always hide behind her and be a burden.

She hoped that one day when she moved in, it wouldn’t be because she had nowhere else to go.
