The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 353

Chapter 353 -188: The Next Game (Third Update)

“Why…” Madame Ling laughed, “Of course it’s because of you, my lord…”

From the moment you caught me when I fell from the attic, I wanted to marry you.

But why are you my brother-in-law? _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

I saw my sister with you, and was so jealous that I was going mad!

My sister is dead.

My sister treated me well when she was alive.

...

But I am not sad, not at all.

Because I know, my chance has come.

…

Lord Gu had Madame Ling taken away.

Though Madame Ling was unforgivable, firstly, she was the daughter of the Ling family, and secondly, the three sons still did not know Madame Ling’s sins. If they hastily punished her, it might lead to misunderstandings deepening if their sons refuse to believe and insist on thinking that Yao was the one who did something wrong.

Lord Gu suddenly felt weary.

He has not heard much about rumors concerning the Yao family, mainly because no one dared to say such things in front of him, and also because Yao never complained to him. Whenever he happened to hear servants gossiping, he would dismiss them immediately.

“My lord, how should we deal with these servants?” asked Huang Zhong.

Lord Gu replied impatiently, “Just a few servants! Do you have to always consult me for such things?”

“Yes, yes!”

Ah, being the target of his frustration, it’s really pitiful!

Huang Zhong punished those servants who were to be punished and sold those who were to be sold. In any case, none of them was allowed to step into the Marquis Residence again.

“My lord,” said Huang Zhong, “It’s getting late. You should go and rest.”

Without realizing it, it was already midnight.

Yao had returned to the courtyard long ago.

The old Lady Gu was so furious that she had a headache. After taking her medicine, she also rested.

Lord Gu was utterly worn out, but he did not go to rest. Instead, he went to the courtyard of Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin.

Gu Chengfeng had just come back after completing a task and looked worn out. His pale face perfectly matched the impression of being grouchy from being woken up in the middle of the night.

Lord Gu said, “Call your eldest brother.”

His aura felt off.

The two brothers exchanged looks, not understanding what was going on with their father.

Gu Chenglin said, “The eldest brother has gone to the military camp.”

Lord Gu spoke tiredly, “That’s fine, I’ll tell the two of you first.”

Lord Gu didn’t mention the matter of Madame Ling having an affair. Firstly, it was a disgrace, and secondly, it was not appropriate to bring it up in front of the children.

He only mentioned Madame Ling’s embezzlement of silver, bribing the servants to cause trouble and sow discord.

The two brothers were dumbfounded.

Little Madame Ling went early, and when Madame Ling entered the mansion, the two brothers were still dependent on their mother. They received warmth from Madame Ling, who was like a second mother to them in their hearts.

Gu Chenglin sprung to his feet from the chair, “I don’t believe it! Madame Ling wouldn’t do such a thing! It must be Yao! It must be that mean woman Yao who slandered Madame Ling!”

“Who did you say is a mean woman?” Lord Gu also stood up coldly!

This time, Gu Chengfeng stepped in front of his brother.

He would not allow Madame Ling to be wronged, nor would he allow his father to punish his brother for false crimes!
