The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1847

Chapter 1847: 916 Slap in the Face (Part 1)

Gu Jiao did not answer Gu Jinyu’s words but looked at the long line of boxes being moved outside the residence, hummed, and said, "Is that so? You think the show is too grand, too."

Gu Jinyu glanced at Gu Jiao with a smile: "A noble lady from Shang Country getting married, of course, it’s going to be grand. When Sister got married in the countryside back then, she probably didn’t have even a single tael as dowry, did she? No wonder Sister feels uncomfortable. If it were me, I wouldn’t be able to reconcile with it either. The husband she supported is now someone else’s, it’s a pity for the efforts Sister put in these years. If I had known this earlier, Sister should have listened to Father and cut ties with Xiao Hen, at least then it would have been Sister who didn’t want him. Before the news reached the Capital City, maybe Father could have found Sister a good match. Now the whole Capital City knows Sister is the discarded wife of the young Marquis. Who would still dare to marry Sister?"

Over there, a box got stuck on the carriage, and several people couldn’t push or pull it down.

Gu Jiao went over to help.

Gu Jinyu called out to her with an "ey", but this time, she couldn’t stop Gu Jiao. She thought for a moment, lifted her skirt, and went after her.

"Second Miss!" A maid followed up, "Where are you going? Didn’t we agree to go to the shop to get jewelry? Also, go to the Embroidery Building to alter the dress measurements."

Gu Jinyu looked at Gu Jiao’s back and said, "I’ll go later. My silly sister is going to embarrass herself, I should at least stop her. Sister! Don’t be impulsive!"

She chased after Gu Jiao to the carriage.

Inside the carriage, a driver was bent over, unloading goods. He tried hard to push the box out, but it was stuck tightly, and his fingers were caught.

Gu Jiao glanced at the situation, drew a dagger from her waist, and was about to pry the box loose when Gu Jinyu grabbed her wrist: "Sister! What are you doing? No matter how upset you are, you can’t go ruining other people’s dowry!"

People around them began to look over.

The ones delivering goods here were shop attendants from the Capital City, and they didn’t recognize Gu Jiao, so they naturally didn’t know she was the young mistress of this residence.

Gu Jinyu quickly said to everyone: "I’m sorry, I’m the Second Miss of the Ding’an Marquis Residence, and she is my sister. She’s just having a hard time, but I believe she didn’t mean it, please don’t blame her."

The crowd listened for a long time but didn’t understand what was meant by intentional or unintentional. However, seeing the dagger in Gu Jiao’s hand and Gu Jinyu’s explanation, they naturally assumed Gu Jiao was causing trouble.

That’s odd, this family just moved in, and they’re already making enemies?

Gu Jinyu earnestly advised: "Sister, don’t do anything foolish. I know you resent the young lady from Yan Country for taking your husband, but no matter what, you can’t do such things in public. By doing so, how will you face Grandfather? How will you face Father? And how will you face the brothers and the entire Ding’an Marquis Residence?"

The crowd understood this time.

So, this newly moved-in affluent family is the Duke and his daughter from Yan Country, and wasn’t the Duke’s daughter betrothed to the young Marquis of Zhaodu?

Could it be the young Marquis had a former first wife?

Gu Jinyu choked up: "When the young Marquis was in trouble in the countryside, you saved him and made him your husband. Now, he has regained his position... although I also feel sorry that you only learned the truth today..."

So this young lady once saved the young Marquis and used that gratitude to force him to marry her?

And she never knew about the young Marquis’s identity?

The young Marquis didn’t even want to tell her his background, clearly, he never truly intended to marry her.

It must have been under duress.

Gu Jiao looked at Gu Jinyu with an indifferent expression: "Are you done talking?"

Gu Jinyu shook her head pleadingly: "Sister... I beg you... don’t do anything foolish... If you go to the Marquis Residence and admit your wrongs now, Grandfather and the brothers would surely be willing to accept you back..."

The crowd was more astonished, so this young lady was never acknowledged by the Marquis Residence?

A shop attendant whispered: "Ah, it seems I’ve heard... that the young lady grew up in the countryside... not presentable..."

Gu Jiao cast a speechless glance at Gu Jinyu, retracted her hand, and stabbed the dagger at the bottom of the box.

"Sister—" Gu Jinyu’s face was pale with fright!

Before anyone could stop her, Gu Jiao had already pried the box up, and the driver on the carriage successfully withdrew his swollen fingers, letting out a long sigh of relief.

Any later, and this finger would have been ruined!

Outside the carriage, an attendant looked at the box Gu Jiao had moved and said in shock, "Oh no! The box is broken! This is a top-quality rosewood box! And inside are all this year’s popular jewels! What if they got damaged too?"

It broke during transport, if asked, we couldn’t compensate even if we put our lives on it!

Gu Jinyu said with deep regret: "Sister, I told you not to do this... no matter how unhappy you are... you can’t take it out on these things—"

Before she even finished, there was a commotion in the crowd, followed by the driver whose finger had been saved by Gu Jiao saying: "Oh no, the Duke Residence’s Housekeeper is here!"

Gu Jinyu glanced at Gu Jiao, a sly smile on her lips: "Sister, you’d better not act impulsively again, that’s the Duke Residence’s Housekeeper, if you offend him, then..."

She only said half, and the housekeeper came charging at Gu Jiao, glaring at her: "Who told you to move the box?"
