The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 244

Chapter 244: 143 Cleaning Up After Her (Second Update)

After getting the admission ticket, Lord Gu had Huang Zhong send it directly to Gu Jiao.

He had already decided that on his daughter’s first day of school, he and his wife would go to the school and give his wife a huge surprise!

Seeing the efforts he has made for their daughter up close, his wife will surely realize his heartfelt love for their girl!

Of course, he had considered that his daughter might not appreciate his efforts. Being a clever man, he had already devised a plan!

“Miss, Lord Gu said that as long as you agree to go to school, he will give you 500 taels of silver.” In the Medical Hall, Huang Zhong relayed Lord Gu’s words.

Gu Jiao was working and paused when she heard these words, “Are you sure?”

Huang Zhong replied, “Absolutely! I even brought the silver note!”

Gu Jiao replied, “Money in one hand, note in the other.”

Huang Zhong: Why does that sound a bit off?

Huang Zhong seriously said: “Miss, you need to make a promise.”

Gu Jiao made a swearing gesture, “Alright, I swear I will go to school.”

Huang Zhong nodded in satisfaction and handed the note and silver note to Gu Jiao simultaneously.

What Huang Zhong didn’t realize was that as soon as he left, Gu Jiao immediately stuck the note on the front door of the Medical Hall: Admission tickets for sale, one for 100 taels!

The shopkeeper was stunned, “You… want to sell this too?”

The meaning of ‘too’ was that before Huang Zhong’s arrival, someone had already delivered an admission ticket.

This person was none other than Prince An, who had encountered Gu Jiao twice before in the county.

The admission ticket brought by Prince An was given by Concubine Zhuang. He didn’t even offer it to Zhuang Mengdie but directly had it delivered to Gu Jiao.

Without uttering a word, Gu Jiao put it up for sale.

And it had already been sold!

Gu Jiao casually replied, “Yes, sell it, why not?”

“Then what was that conversation you just had?” The shopkeeper knows well that Gu Jiao wouldn’t be going to school.

Gu Jiao replied, “He asked for my promise, I gave it, what’s wrong with that?”

The shopkeeper dropped his jaw in disbelief.

So the key point was the ‘promising’ part, not the subsequent ‘going to school’ part?

How… is that possible?!

Knowing a bit about Lord Gu’s situation with his daughter, the shopkeeper now really felt sorry for him. He wondered how many times Lord Gu could be fooled by his daughter before he learned a lesson.

The person who came to buy the second admission ticket soon appeared, and shockingly, he was also someone they knew.

“Do you really have admission tickets for the school next door?”

A well-dressed young lady walked in with her head held high.

Xiaoliu knew he couldn’t deal with this client, so he quickly called the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper hadn’t met her before, and considering her well-to-do appearance, he treated her with respect, saying, “Yes we do, Miss. Are you interested in purchasing one?”

The young woman arrogantly asked, “How do I know your admission tickets are genuine?”

The shopkeeper replied with a laugh, “Miss, one look at you, and it’s clear you are someone of status. Our large Medical Hall here is a place of business, not a temple for runaway monks. If our tickets were fake, you could come and close us down!”

The young woman looked up to see the brand new plaque above her head and found the shopkeeper’s point to be reasonable.

Her family’s power was enormous. If anyone dared to deceive her, she would demolish this shop and arrest everyone involved!

The young woman took out a 100-tael silver note.

The shopkeeper was just about to accept it when Xiaoliu hurriedly walked over and whispered something into his ear.

The shopkeeper frowned, his hand frozen in mid-air as he was about to receive the silver note.

“What’s wrong?” the young woman asked.

The shopkeeper sheepishly replied: “The admission ticket… it’s now 200 taels.”

“Didn’t the notice say it’s 100 taels?”

“Ah…uh… that was the old price.”

“So, you’re raising your price as you please?”

“Hey, you wanna buy or not? If you’re not buying, I’ll buy it!”

Another customer craving for an admission ticket had arrived behind the young woman.

This was not a hired plant of Medical Hall, it was an actual interested buyer.

She also had a rough idea of who they were given to, apart from those that the prince had distributed to curry favor. _{freeweɓnøvel.com}
