The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 380

Chapter 380: 197 Real Versus Fake Missy (two updates combined into one) _2

The face of Marquis Gu became extremely unsightly: “How could she do this?”

Gu Jinyu sobbed, “Actually, I can’t blame Miss Zhuang, she only spoke the truth. I’m indeed not father’s biological child, my real parents were country folks, that’s my background…”

Marquis Gu said with heartache, “Father doesn’t allow you to talk about yourself like this! In father’s heart, you are indeed his own daughter!”

The maidservant glanced at Marquis Gu and muttered, “Poor Miss, being spoken about by Miss Zhuang in this way, everyone won’t place their bets on Miss anymore! This only the first day, who knows what will happen in the future when she goes to the girl’s school. How will those people bully her?”

Bully his daughter? How can this be?

Marquis Gu didn’t understand the concept of betting and only after questioning the maid did he get to know that Qingfeng Building had organized a betting pool on the imperial examinations, and one of the bets was on who would receive a hairpin from the scholar of Class Alpha.

...

Out of the three hairpins, one was likely to be given to Zhuang Yuexi by Prince An. Aren’t there still two left?

Marquis Gu thought, considering Jinyu’s capabilities, she should at least be able to win one from the other two candidates.

He cannot let Jinyu suffer this injustice.

That afternoon, he drew five thousand taels of silver from the warehouse and took them all to Qingfeng Building to place a bet.

“Who are you placing a bet on, Miss Gu?” The shopkeeper asked.

“Are there many Miss Gu’s?” Marquis Gu asked.

The shopkeeper, not recognizing Marquis Gu, explained with a smile, “There are two Miss Gu’s in Marquis Residence, one is second Miss Gu and the other is eldest Miss Gu.”

Can that girl also be listed? Marquis Gu rolled his eyes, quickly recalling what the maidservant had said about Zhuang Mengdie deliberately placing a bet of a single copper plate on Gu Jiao in order to humiliate Gu Jinyu. Qingfeng Building must have listed the girl at that time.

Does she think she can compete with Jinyu?

Forget it!

Without saying a word, Marquis Gu placed the entire bet on Gu Jinyu.

The amount bet on Gu Jinyu suddenly became equal to Zhuang Yuexi.

Gu Jiao still remained lonely at the very end.
