The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 858

Chapter 858: 393 Spring Stirrings (Second Update)

"Okay," Xiao Liulang and Gu Jiao returned to the west chamber, and only after placing Xiaoqingkong on the bedchamber did Gu Jiao return to her own east chamber.

Madam He had finally come back to her senses at this point, "Your son-in-law looks not bad, but what a pity, he’s a cripple. Jiaojiao is after all the daughter of a Marquis Residence, how could you find her a cripple?" _{frёeωebɳovel.com}

The Yao Family had never been particularly welcoming of Madam He and her daughter, and upon hearing these words, she immediately frowned.

Gu Jinyu hurried to smooth things over, "Aunt, my brother-in-law is very impressive, he is this year’s top scholar."

Madam He curled her lip, "A cripple can also become the top scholar? Are top scholars so easy to come by nowadays? Then my Fengyi can become one too!"

Yao Fengyi, the son of Madam He and Yao Yuan, was two years older than Gu Jiao and Gu Yan.

The Yao Family had long ago given up any expectations for this sister-in-law; Madam He was ignorant and always so full of herself. If it weren’t for Gu Jinyu bringing her, they wouldn’t even have let Madam He in the door.

Madam He grumbled, "And this son-in-law of yours is too arrogant. Doesn’t he know how to host relatives from his wife’s family? Does he think he’s too good for Jiaojiao now that he’s become the top scholar? Also, I’m not trying to berate you, but Jiaojiao’s appearance really needs some covering up. It’s one thing to be ugly, but she doesn’t even dress up..."

"Sister-in-law!" The Yao Family slammed her teacup down heavily onto the table, holding back her anger, she spoke calmly, "You’ve had your tea, and said your piece, so if there’s nothing else, please go back. We’re very busy here!"

"What do you mean by this, little sister-in-law? I just got here and you’re chasing me away already! Am I wrong for speaking the truth?" Madam He said and turned to Gu Jinyu, "Jin Yu, you judge for me whether this ’brother-in-law’ of yours didn’t even bother to greet us?"

Gu Jinyu spoke softly, "My brother-in-law didn’t do it on purpose, he doesn’t recognize you."

Madam He huffed, "But he should at least recognize you, and yet I didn’t see him give you a proper look either."

Gu Jinyu said no more.

Seeing the atmosphere cooling down, Madam He hurriedly smiled and said, "Alright, alright, my fault, I’m someone who speaks bluntly, Yaoyao, don’t take it personally!"

Madam He’s visit today was mainly for two matters, the first being about Yao Fengyi’s education; she wanted to pull some strings to get him into the Guozijian. The second was about Yao Xin’s marriage prospects.
