The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 859

Chapter 859: 393 Spring Stirrings (Third Update)

"Big cousin!" Yao Xin stood up with a horrified look on her face.

Gu Jiao had just thrown the He Family out of her front door.

"Ouch—" The He Family member stumbled and fell to the ground, landing face first.

"Mother!" Yao Xin, holding up the hem of her dress, stepped over the threshold to help the He Family member up from the ground.

Enraged, the He Family member got up, dusting off her dress, and glared viciously at Gu Jiao. "You little bitch—"

Before she could finish, she met Gu Jiao’s deathly stare. A shiver went down her spine, and her scalp suddenly went numb.

Gu Jiao knocked on the doorframe, not hiding the chill in her eyes. "Don’t ever come back here, or I’ll break your bones." _{fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm}

The He Family member wanted to say, "You wouldn’t dare," but meeting those icy-cold eyes, she couldn’t utter a word.

The He Family member was able to make a scene in front of the Yao Family because she knew that at most they would ignore her, but never hurt her. However, she had a strange feeling that this girl really could kill her...

Pale-faced, the He Family member said, "You, you’re not afraid... if this gets out... it will... it will ruin your reputation..."

Her words had little confidence.

"Is that so?" Gu Jiao suddenly raised her hand.

"Ah—" The He Family member was so frightened that she ran away, even forgetting about Yao Xin!

Yao Xin, however, saw that Gu Jiao was merely dusting off her sleeve.

With her own mother having run off, Yao Xin had no face to stay any longer. "Mother, wait for me!"

Inside the house, Gu Jinyu was apologizing to the Yao Family. "...Mother, I’m sorry, I didn’t know things would turn out like this. Auntie didn’t tell me; she’s just too worried about you, and also concerned about how she mistreated sister before, so she insisted on coming over to make amends. I thought since it was about making amends to sister, I would... I took it upon myself to bring her over."

The Yao Family closed their eyes, feeling a headache coming on. "Don’t do this kind of thing again."

Gu Jinyu quietly replied, "I understand, Mother."

The Yao Family furrowed their brows. "How did they find out about Liulang’s issue?"

Gu Jinyu pondered for a moment, then said, "Auntie asked about my brother-in-law, and I simply said that he and my sister were married in the countryside, that he had studied at the Guozijian, and is now serving in the Hanlin Academy. I didn’t say anything else."

The Yao Family looked at Gu Jinyu. "You didn’t mention his leg?"

Gu Jinyu lowered her head. "Auntie asked, so I mentioned it briefly, but I didn’t say my brother-in-law was crippled. I wouldn’t speak about him like that... He simply has trouble walking."

Gu Jinyu wouldn’t speak crudely; she never casually mentioned the word "crippled," but the He Family had no such reservations when it came to offensive talk.

The Yao Family felt extremely uncomfortable - they didn’t know whether they were more angry with the He Family or with Gu Jinyu. All they knew was that they didn’t want to see anyone from either side at that moment.

Pressing her forehead, the Yao Family sighed. "You should go back home too, you’ll soon be married off. Don’t keep running about outside."

"...Yes."

Gu Jinyu left the Yao Family’s room and encountered Gu Jiao and Xiao Liulang, who were feeding the chicks, Xiaoba, and Xiaojiu.

Gu Jinyu first looked at Gu Jiao. "Sister."
