The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1254

Chapter 1254: 611 True colors revealed

Gu Jinyu pleaded earnestly, "My daughter has already shared intimacy with the Prince of An County, how can she marry another in this lifetime?"

Marquis Gu snorted dismissively and said, "If you don’t speak of that intimacy, I don’t speak of it, and he doesn’t get word out, who would know?"

Gu Jiao was married off; Marquis Gu didn’t even acknowledge that union, much less Gu Jinyu’s engagement.

Tears welled up in Gu Jinyu’s eyes as she knelt down and said, "Father! My feelings for the Prince of An County are sincere... I beg Father to grant me this happiness..."

Marquis Gu was furious—if this had been a son, he would have beaten him by now!

He gritted his teeth and looked at her, saying, "Jinyu! You are too young! Do you know what sincerity is? Was Princess Ning An not sincere towards her husband? Guess what happened to her? She died in the borderlands! I will never agree to you marrying a down-and-out noble!"

The higher he had once reached for the Prince of An County, the more he now looked down on him.

No longer the primary heir of the first ranked family, what right did he have to be his son-in-law?

In the end, she was his daughter, and Marquis Gu couldn’t bear to be too harsh; he softened his tone and said, "Jinyu, you are the daughter I love the most; I will not let you suffer in the borderlands!"

"But father..."

"Jinyu, don’t let your father down!" Marquis Gu unconsciously added a bit more severity to his tone.

Gu Jinyu had grown up without ever truly angering Marquis Gu, and the maids were shocked into a fright.

Marquis Gu said coldly, "You must have been led astray by that girl! She doesn’t listen, and now you follow her example!"

Gu Jinyu choked up, "Father..."

Marquis Gu’s eyes hardened, "Someone come!"

"Marquis." The head maid came over.

Marquis Gu ordered, "Starting today, guard the door day and night, keep a close watch on the young mistress, and don’t let her out! Otherwise, each and every one of you will be waiting to be sold off!"

The head maid looked at Gu Jinyu, curtsied, and answered, "Yes, Marquis!"

Marquis Gu strode away, and Gu Jinyu followed him, "Father! Father!"

The maids promptly stopped her.

She lifted her head and saw a shadow pass by the window.

The next instant, the room door was pushed open, and the cloaked figure darted in!

Gu Jinyu gasped in surprise, rising from her stool, and looked at the figure in alarm, "Who are you?"

The figure didn’t speak but stepped aside, and a lean young figure casually walked in. _{fгeewebnovёl.com}

"It’s me."

The young man said.

Gu Jinyu was taken aback, "Yanyan? What are you doing in my room with people at this late hour?"

Gu Yan was now much healthier than before; not only had he survived past fifteen, he was spry and nearly indistinguishable from a normal person.

Gu Yan glanced at the trunks and jewelry boxes in the room and said, "As siblings, I came to help you one last time; lest you say I am a biased brother who only takes care of Jiaojiao."

Gu Jinyu looked at him, puzzled.

Gu Yan gestured to the shadowy guards A and B at the door, saying, "Come in, take my sister out of the city tonight using the Token of Renshou Palace given to me by the Empress Dowager."
