The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1835

Chapter 1835: 904 Show-off Daughter Maniac (Second Update)_2

...

After Gu Jiao returned to Shengdu, she hid her accomplishments and fame, passing the task of accepting the people’s adoration to Liao Chen.

She herself returned to the Duke Residence.

Upon seeing her, Steward Zheng was moved to tears, "Young Master, Young Master! You’re finally back!"

Gu Jiao dismounted and handed him the Red-Tasseled Spear.

Steward Zheng was immediately knocked to the ground.

... Young Master, the spear is a bit heavy.

"Where’s my foster father?" Gu Jiao asked.

Steward Zheng waved at the servants, and two of them came forward to lift away the Red-Tasseled Spear. Only then did he nimbly get up and say to Gu Jiao, "The Duke has gone to the National Master Hall!"

After successfully sending Gu Po and her group into the territory of Zhan Country, Duke An returned home with Wang Xu.

He stayed in Shengdu, while Wang Xu went to the border pass.

"Hmm." Gu Jiao nodded, "Perfect timing, I also need to go to the National Master Hall."

In the bamboo grove, Duke An was seated in a wheelchair, playing chess with the National Master.

Ya He was in the courtyard helping to sweep the fallen petals. Upon seeing Gu Jiao, his eyes lit up, "Liu Lang! You’re back!"

"Ya He." Gu Jiao greeted him.

Ya He looked behind her, "Eh? Where’s Senior Brother? Didn’t he also go to the border pass? He didn’t come back with you?"

Gu Jiao had already received letters from Zhan Country, mentioning the situation in Bishui Alley and Vermilion Bird Avenue, as well as Xuanping Marquis’s experiences on the road.

She hesitated for a moment, ultimately not telling Ya He about Ye Qing being poisoned, only saying, "Your Senior Brother is a guest on Dark Night Island."

Indeed, strange indeed, Dark Night Island is frozen until at most February, and now it’s April, why hasn’t Ye Qing returned?

Could it be that he’s too good-looking and got kept as a husband on the road?

"The Dark Night Island of the Dark Night Sect? My Senior Brother went there!" Ya He was stunned.

Gu Jiao curved her lips, patted him on the shoulder, and headed to the corridor. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

She lifted the curtain and entered the room.

The two inside had already heard her voice and were waiting for her to come over.

She set out in August, and now it’s April. They haven’t seen each other for more than half a year, and she had changed a lot.

She grew a little taller, her facial features matured, and continual battles exposed her to the sun, rain, and wind, which turned her once fair skin into a light wheat color, making her even more valiant.

At the border pass, many girls quietly fancied the young commander of the Hei Fengqi.

"Foster Father, National Master!"

She greeted them happily.

Duke An gazed at her, unable to shift his eyes away.

Even though she returned safely, thinking of all she experienced at the border pass, his heart ached.

"Come closer, let me take a look." Duke An waved Gu Jiao over.

"Eh?" Gu Jiao was slightly stunned.

Duke An smiled, "I have recovered well enough that I can talk and even lift my arms."

He spoke nonchalantly, but to give her a surprise, he had been undergoing rehabilitation almost desperately for the past eight months.
