The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 369

Chapter 369: 194 Paying Respect to the Master (Second Update) _3

All in all, they were strangers to each other.

But Xiao Liulang’s family members were quite easy to get along with.

Especially Xiao Liulang’s eldest aunt.

The story begins when Du Ruohan paid a visit. He was a reasonable person; even though Fen Lin told him not to be overly formal, he still brought some gifts with him.

Among his gifts was a box of candied chestnuts, which delighted the old lady so much that she cheerily beckoned him forward.

The old lady doesn’t keep her possessions at home anymore for fear that Xiaoshun will snitch; so she keeps them at the old Priest’s place.

...

The old lady thought this young man was nice and decided to take him under her wing.

“Would you like to play a hand?” The old lady took out the leaf cards that Gu Changqing gave her. The new leaf cards felt especially comfortable in her hand, and she couldn’t put them down.

Du Ruohan knew about leaf cards, but his uncle in the mansion wouldn’t allow him to play.

Fen Lin didn’t know how to play, but Lin Chengye did.

The old lady called Gu Xiaoshun over.

Gu Xiaoshun, the old lady, Du Ruohan, and Lin Chengye gathered to play a game of leaf cards.

Du Ruohan was a newbie.

As it turns out, not every newcomer has the same luck as Gu Changqing. After one game, Du Ruohan had lost to the point of only having his trousers left.

The old lady thus liked him even more!

He’s a promising young man!

Close to lunchtime, someone came to the house.

“I’ll go open the door! I’ll go open the door!” Xiaoshun trotted off to answer the door. He peeked out his small head through the door crack and squinted at the visitor, “May I ask who you’re looking for?”

The man replied, “I’m looking for Xiao Liulang.”

“Oh.” Xiaoshun was disappointed.

Why wasn’t anyone there to see him?
