The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 98

Chapter 98: Chapter 89: The Medicine (Second Update)

The Marquis Gu began to order a thorough investigation of the Yao family’s poison case.

According to the two maids, the medicine was decocted by Nurse Fang and also sent by her. They were dispatched by Nurse Fang to deliver things to Gu Jinyu. After that, they knew nothing.

A tight feeling rose within Marquis Gu’s chest,” What did you say?”

Cuicui frightened, “I… I said… the young miss is not.. not of flesh and blood … it was a misunderstanding…”

“Damn it!” Marquis Gu was so furious that he smashed a teacup with a blow of his hand.

Cuicui crawled on the broken pieces of the teacup, her hands bleeding, but she didn’t dare to move: “Master, have mercy… it was Nurse Fang who forced me…”
