The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 611

Chapter 611: 293 Prime Minister’s Favor (First Update)_2

Cen Bianxiu didn’t dare to complain about Lord An, so he vented his anger on Xiao Liulang, who always seemed to be the target of others’ schemes.

Xiao Liulang, unbothered, picked up a broom and went to clean the West Study Room.

The West Study Room was larger and more disordered than the East Study Room, so he started by straightening the bookshelves and cabinets.

His body was much stronger now than a year ago. If he was still as weak as when he fainted from hunger by the roadside, he probably wouldn’t have been able to move these shelves.

The young man gave off an irresistible masculine vitality. His sleeves casually rolled up revealed solid muscles on his forearms with clear lines. Sweat trickled down his chiseled jaw.

Lord An, taking a break outside, absent-mindedly glanced towards the window of the West Study Room.

Even for a man like him, the sight was near blinding.

After cleaning the West Study Room, Xiao Liulang discovered unexpectedly that the room had an attic. The ladder was hiding behind the last row of bookshelves.

He looked at the ladder carefully. There were books in the attic. But perhaps because it was so secluded, no one had touched it. Aside from the dust, it wasn’t particularly messy.

Xiao Liulang decided to move the books in first and could clean up the attic later.

"Bring the books in, it’s going to rain," he told the others.

Lord An looked up at the gloomy sky and furrowed his eyebrows, how did he not notice that before? The books were spread everywhere, making the task of cleanup a hassle.

"Let’s clean up quickly then," he said.

But while Xiao Liulang had finished cleaning the West Study Room, Cen Bianxiu was only half done with the East one.

"What are you doing? That small room isn’t even clean yet!" Yang Xiuzhuan berated Cen Bianxiu, once he had finished scolding, he turned to Xiao Liulang and ordered, "You go help him."

They were initially supposed to have two drivers helping, but the roof leaked, and the drivers were occupied mending it, leaving them unavailable to lend a hand here.

Xiao Liulang went to the East Study Room.

Cen Bianxiu glared at him angrily: "Are you doing this on purpose? Trying to make me look bad in front of Mister Yang?"

What did this have to do with Xiao Liulang?

Xiao Liulang worked fast because, unlike most scholars who only studied, he did all sorts of chores at home. Gu Jiao wouldn’t let him do the heavy labours but he was no stranger to all other kinds of work.

Was that his fault?

Xiao Liulang replied nonchalantly, "If you put the energy you waste on being angry into cleaning, the East Room would have been cleaned already."

"You..." Cen Bianxiu was left utterly speechless.
