The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 702

Chapter 702: 329 Granting Marriage (Two Tael)_3

As for the factional disputes, who knows what will happen in the future? Perhaps, after inheriting the Zhuang family, Prince An might be willing to join His Majesty’s faction for his daughter’s sake.

His Jin Yu is so gentle and virtuous that there is hardly any man in the world who would dare hurt her.

Immediately, Lord Gu went to Jin Yu’s courtyard.

"Father, you’ve lost weight," Gu Jinyu said with concern. "Has supervising the construction of the residence been exhausting?"

Lord Gu massaged his sore shoulders and said, "It’s indeed been tough, but it’s a great accomplishment once completed."

Gu Jinyu curiously asked, "Who is the Empress Dowager building the residence for? It’s such a big project that half of the Ministry of Works has been summoned."

Lord Gu pondered, "I heard it’s being built for the second daughter of the Zhuang family. The garden inside is truly beautiful, and the scenery is unique. In all my years in the Capital City, I’ve never seen such an exquisite piece of land. I just wonder why the design of the courtyard mimics that of the house in Bishui Alley..."

"Bishui Alley?" Gu Jinyu was puzzled.

Lord Gu waved his hand and laughed, "Never mind that. I just heard from your grandmother that His Majesty has decreed your marriage to the Prince of An. Once you marry into the Zhuang family, you’ll get the chance to explore that residence. I wonder... could that residence have been built by the Empress Dowager for Prince An, providing him a separate dwelling after his grand wedding? If so, Jin Yu, you’re incredibly fortunate!"

Gu Jinyu’s face flushed slightly, "This... It’s a bit too early to say."

Lord Gu chuckled heartily, "True, the marriage decree has just been issued, and the three letters and six ceremonials of betrothal are yet to take place, we can’t be impulsive." Lord Gu grinned, filled with satisfaction as he said, "Regardless, let me congratulate you on finding your ideal husband."

"All the credit goes to Grandfather," Gu Jinyu said, her eyes lowered, a shy smile on her face.

Lord Gu simply thought that his own father had taken a liking to the Prince of An as his granddaughter’s husband and didn’t think much of it. He held Gu Jinyu’s hand, unable to hide his joy, "I am going to Bishui Alley to share this great news with your mother and your brother so they can share the happiness too!"

Gu Jinyu nodded, smiling. "Yes."

So, Lord Gu went to Bishui Alley.

All the way, he was incredibly exuberant.

From now on, he would be the father-in-law of a Prince!

How glorious that would be!

Jin Yu had indeed brought him honor, unlike that annoying girl who married a poor country boy, causing strife with her mother.

Although she luckily married an individual who achieved first place in the imperial examination, it’s still incomparable to Prince An.

Upon reaching Bishui Alley, Gu Jiao and Gu Yan were busy in the front yard with a newly built swing. It was originally made for a little monk, but Gu Yan broke it while playing.

Gu Yan hurriedly called his sister for rescue before the little monk started crying.‌

The siblings were working well together, creating a warm scene.

Lord Gu indulgently watched for a while before briskly walking over, "Yanyan, Daddy’s here!" His gaze fell on Gu Jiao, and he reluctantly called out, "Jiaojiao."

The siblings looked at him and then went back to fixing the swing.

Umm...

Lord Gu looked at himself, then down at his feet, he had come in, right?

He was in a good mood today, so he wouldn’t quarrel with these two.

He energetically walked over, ruffled Gu Yan’s hair and said, "You’ve grown."
