The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 82

Chapter 82: 82 Refreshing

“Young Master!”

Nurse Fang and the rest hurriedly paid their respects to Gu Yan.

The second-in-command also made a bow.

Rankings were clearly paramount in Zhan Country, as a businessman, the second-in-command bowed to the son of a marquis. Gu Jiao was no exception, but she was not accustomed to bending her knee to people.

She simply stood, fixedly looking at Gu Yan.

When everyone else bowed down, she became the odd one out. It was impossible for people not to notice.

The second-in-command subtly tugged at her sleeve, signaling her to greet him.

Though they were here to treat the young master, it didn’t mean they could be disrespectful to him, right?

Gu Yan, however, seemed to ignore it. He didn’t greet Gu Jiao, nor did he force her to.

He turned to Nurse Fang, “Are you going to make me ask a second time?”

Nurse Fang was too astonished earlier, and forgot to respond. As she regained her senses, she told Gu Yan how Gu Jiao was refusing to throw out the puppy.

As for the matter of Gu Jiao breaking the peony flower, she did not mention that. After all, she did not witness it, and it was not her place to mention it even if she had.

All the servants of the house knew how much Gu Yan hated such little creatures for being noisy. Not long ago, a rabbit kept by Gu Jinyu, despite being silent, was thrown out by Gu Yan. This girl was like a moth to a flame, she probably doesn’t even know how she’ll die!

As expected, when Gu Yan’s eyes fell on the bloody puppy held by Gu Jiao, his aura turned cold at once.

Nurse Fang coldly huffed.

You wouldn’t discard it when told, now it falls into the young master’s hands, right?

“Where did this dog come from?” Gu Yan asked.

“I found it.” Gu Jiao said, “It was stuck in a fence, and injured by the thorns.”

Gu Yan’s gaze swept toward the fence.

The fence that Gu Jiao had picked up had been reinserted, but the freshly disturbed soil still showed signs of movement.

Yu Ru glanced at the broken peony flower and took the chance to say, “She even snapped the young lady’s peony flower! All for this dog!”

Yu Ya snorted, “You were the one who broke it!”

“It was her!” Yu Ru coldly pointed at Gu Jiao.

“You did it!” Yu Ya stood with hands on hips.

Gu Yan’s face became icy cold, and it was clear to all that he was angry.

He had a heart condition, and he was not supposed to get angry easily as it could make him ill. Otherwise, the lord and the lady would not have spoiled him so. Even when he took the ancient painting just to tear it apart in a tantrum, they let him have it even though they knew.

“Both of you, shut up!” Nurse Fang scolded harshly.

The two maids immediately fell silent.

Gu Yan looked at everyone present and then back at Gu Jiao in the flower bed, “You all saw that it was her who did it, right?”

The tone was clearly accusatory, and everyone bowed their heads in tacit agreement.

“No… it wasn’t her…” Yu Ya was somewhat frightened by Gu Yan’s aura, her voice weakening.

Gu Yan said indifferently, “They all say it was her who did it, yet you’re the only one saying it wasn’t.”

“Because it wasn’t.” Yu Ya muttered softly.

Yu Ru smirked in triumph.

No matter what, the young master was the biological brother of the young miss. How could the young master ever choose not to believe the personal maid of the young miss, and instead believe an outsider?

As for the maid Yu Ya, she was only a third-grade maid in the young master’s courtyard, without the eligibility to serve the young master up close.

The weight of her words was certainly minimal.

“Very good.” Gu Yan nodded, “What’s your name?”

Yu Ya was taken aback, “Me?… Yu Ya.”

Gu Yan ordered, “Everyone except the bean sprout, leave my villa immediately!”

“It’s Yu Ya!”

Wait, should they leave the villa? Does he mean her?
