The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 282

Chapter 282: 158 Top Student (an update)_3

Yao Family’s mother said, “She’s at girl’s school, not at the mansion.”

“Oh.” Yao Xin was very envious.

She also wanted to go to school, but her grandparents and parents only let her brother go to school.

Yao’s mother looked at Maid Fang, “Maid Fang, please take Miss Xin for a walk in the garden.”

The landscape of the Marquis Residence was renowned throughout the Capital City.

Besides, she also understood that her eldest brother wanted to talk to her privately.

“Yes, ma’am! Miss Yao, please follow me.” Maid Fang led Yao Xin out of the courtyard.

With no one else in the room, Yao’s mother dropped her enthusiastic hospitality and asked calmly, “Elder brother, why did you suddenly come looking for me?”

Yao Yuan stuttered, then forced out a laugh, “I just wanted to see you. After your return to Capital City, you did not visit your natal family nor inform it of Jin Yu’s Coming of Age Ceremony. Everyone says it’s because you despise the Yao Family. I know that’s not true. Sister, are you still resentful about the past?”

Yao’s mother took a sip of her tea, “Let’s not bring up the past, brother. You know very well why I avoided the Yao family and did not invite them to Jin Yu’s Coming of Age Ceremony. Just accept that I looked down upon the Yao family.”

Yao Yuan expressed his regret, “We were wrong back then, we shouldn’t have ruined your perfectly good marriage by forcing you into the Marquis Residence.”

Before Yao’s mother married Marquis Gu, she had a potential suitor. Although his family was not as wealthy, when Marquis Gu proposed for her hand, the Yao Family hastily broke off the engagement without a second thought.

This was something neither Marquis Gu nor Yao’s mother were allowed to mention.

Yao Yuan remembered painfully that his sister had almost eloped with that man, and he was the one who prevented her, even going so far as to order the man’s legs to be broken.

Yao Yuan: “Our father and mother did it for the Yao family’s sake…”

Yao’s mother: “Unfortunately, you didn’t anticipate that I wouldn’t help the Yao family either. You just gave your daughter away for nothing.”

Yao Yuan choked on his words.

Indeed.

After her wedding, his sister quickly distanced herself from her natal family, so much so that not even their dying father could see her one last time.

But they could hardly blame her; how could she make it back from the manor to the Capital City in time?
