The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 280

Chapter 280: 158 Top Students (First Update)

Xiao Liulang: She learned bad behavior from her grandma, case closed!

Eventually, the situation ended with Gu Jiao planting three kisses on top of Xiao Jingkong’s head.

Xiao Jingkong didn’t care about quarreling with his mischievous brother-in-law. He covered the spots where he had been kissed with his little hand and scampered back into the house. He wrapped a gauze around his head, waiting obediently for the kisses to bloom!

When all three were completely healed from chickenpox, they returned to Qinghe Academy and Guozijian to resume their studies. Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao, who had been taking care of the three, had also been on leave until now and finally could return to normal.

The old lady moved back in as well.

The old sacrificial priest was so moved he almost cried.

Finally, she had moved out!

No more being hunted down daily with a knife for his private stash of money!

The old sacrificial priest had been an upright official for decades, and hadn’t accumulated much wealth, much of which had been robbed by the disaster-causing demoness.

Where was he supposed to go to complain?

Xiao Liulang, having taken leave for so many days, had missed quite a lot of homework and assignments. He was not worried about the lessons, but he still needed to catch up on the assignments. Plus, with the imperial examinations coming up next spring, and him being a candidate, his academic load was even heavier.

Fen Lin and Lin Chengye were also preparing for the spring examinations next year, and both were uncertain about their chances.

Gu Jiao announced that from today on, she would be the one to pick up and drop off Xiao Jingkong, to allow Xiao Liulang more time to study.

A number of children in Xiao Jingkong’s class had contracted chickenpox. Upon investigation, it was discovered that the first to show symptoms was the new transfer student, Qin Chuyu.

Xiao Jingkong must have caught it from him, and then transmitted it to his older brothers at home.

However, Qin Chuyu didn’t recover as fast as Xiao Jingkong; he was still on leave.

Many children in the class were on leave, so school finished early.

In the past, Xiao Jingkong used to do his homework in the classroom after schooltime was over. Now, he has changed to doing homework in the medical hall.

Around the time when Qinghe Academy also finished for the day, Gu Jiao would take him home.

One day, while Xiao Jingkong was doing his homework in the medical hall, the second master had somehow obtained a box of sheep milk cakes. After trying them, Xiao Jingkong praised them as delicious.

As a result, Gu Jiao discovered he had no issues eating dairy products.

Gu Jiao asked the second master to buy some fresh sheep’s milk which she boiled for Xiao Jingkong to drink.

Once, she bought more than needed, and after boiling enough for Xiao Jingkong, half a pot was left. Gu Yan and Gu Xiaoshun didn’t like the taste, and it seemed a waste to discard it.

Gu Jiao thought about it and added some tea leaves and sugar to the pot, creating a unique blend of milk and tea aromas.
