The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 1935

Chapter 1935: Chapter 964: Mu Qingchen Learns the Truth (Part 2)

"Are they from the Tang Sect?" Gu Jiao, considering the day’s events, arrived at this conclusion.

A trace of cold light flashed in Nanshiniang’s eyes: "Yes, they are from the Tang Sect! I forced quite a bit of information out of that person’s mouth. Only then did I realize that the Tang Sect had always been resentful about my departure. Like Qun Xuan, they all believed that I secretly comprehended some extraordinary martial arts, which allowed me to master the highest martial arts of our sect. They have always wanted to capture me back."

Gu Jiao did not ask Nanshiniang why she didn’t speak earlier; she understood Nanshiniang’s nature and her unwillingness to trouble them.

She looked at Nanshiniang and said earnestly, "Nanshiniang, leave the Tang Sect matters to me."

Nanshiniang was taken aback as she looked at her: "What do you intend to do?"

Gu Jiao said calmly, "Level the Tang Sect to the ground!"

The Jianghu sects and the court have always stayed out of each other’s business. Even people like Qun Xuan left the Tang Sect before joining the Han Family.

Gu Jiao had no intention of troubling Jianghu sects, but the Tang Sect had overstepped by bullying Nanshiniang. They shouldn’t blame Hei Fengqi for trampling their mountain down.

"Jiaojiao..." Nanshiniang didn’t want to trouble Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao gazed into her eyes, "Nanshiniang, the Gu Family sought me for twenty years, buying out their connection to Gu Xiaoshun. Gu Xiaoshun’s parents personally accepted two silver ingots. They were very happy. To be able to sell an incapable son for twenty years, they found it quite worthwhile."

Nanshiniang never expected the truth behind Gu Xiaoshun’s estrangement from the Gu Family to be so unpleasant.

"You and Master Lu regard Xiaoshun as your own son. I don’t want Xiaoshun to lose such loving parents."

Nanshiniang was silent.

Gu Jiao continued, "Moreover, when Ayan was injured back then, didn’t you both risk everything to come to Yan Country?"

Nanshiniang and Master Lu’s kindness towards the two brothers couldn’t be summed up in a few words.

Gu Jiao would not allow anyone to harm Nanshiniang.

The two sat for a while longer, and Master Lu hurried over.

Nanshiniang waved to him from the second floor, and he looked up to see his wife without a doubt. But who’s the girl opposite her?

He entered the private room.

"Are you hurt?" Nanshiniang asked.

"I’m fine, how about you?" Master Lu replied.

"I’m fine too. Take a look at who’s here?" Nanshiniang glanced at Gu Jiao and smiled, "You probably won’t recognize her."

Master Lu gazed at Gu Jiao’s perfect and flawless face, stumbling over his words after a while: "C-could it be Jiaojiao?"

"Master Lu." Gu Jiao greeted him with a smile.

Master Lu stumbled, bumping into the wall beside him.

It really is Jiaojiao?

Is this a new face?

No, when you look closely, the features are not much different than before. But without that birthmark, she’s like a whole new person.

"Jiaojiao’s face has healed." Nanshiniang didn’t mention the vermillion mark.

Master Lu simply thought Gu Jiao’s medical skills were impressive and that she healed herself, which reassured him.

He doesn’t judge based on appearance, and neither does Gu Jiao, but as an elder, he still doesn’t want those unkind gazes on Gu Jiao.

Gu Jiao asked, "Master Lu, Nanshiniang, where are you living now? Is it still the previous courtyard?"

Nanshiniang said gently, "We’ve moved to the inner city, in Liucui Lane."

Gu Jiao happily said, "That’s in the same direction as the Duke Residence; if you don’t mind, come to the Duke Residence for dinner tonight. Jingkong will surely be delighted to see you."

The two couldn’t refuse the enthusiastic invitation. They rented a carriage nearby and went to the Duke Residence with Gu Jiao.

The three first went to Duke An’s courtyard. They didn’t see Little Jingkong, but encountered another familiar figure.

Dressed in white, a tall and handsome figure, with unparalleled elegance.

Who else could it be but the long-absent Mu Qingchen?

Mu Qingchen heard that Duke An had returned to Shengdu and immediately put aside his work to visit first.

He had just come out of Duke An’s courtyard and didn’t expect to run into...Gu Jiao at the door.

Even Nanshiniang had heard of the Hei Fengqi young commander actually being a woman, so how could someone from one of the top ten families not know?

Gu Jiao was dressed in a form-fitting long blue dress with narrow sleeves. Her figure was lithe, her waist slender, and the material was top-quality Jiaosha smokey gauze. Under the sunlight, it reflected a faint veil of light.

This smokey gauze was a specialty of Jin Country, tribute given to Her Majesty the Empress by Jin Country.

Her Majesty didn’t keep a single bolt for herself, sending it all to the Duke Residence.

How did he know all this? Because he was the one who counted and escorted the Jin tributes.

Eventually, his gaze fell on Gu Jiao’s face.

Then he froze hard.

Nanshiniang noticed the unusual atmosphere on the scene. She looked at Gu Jiao, "Jiaojiao, Master Lu and I will first..."

"Nanshiniang!"
