The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 1113: 538 Tender Hearted (Second Update) Chapter 1113: 538 Tender Hearted (Second Update) Bishui Alley.

Lord Gu, having been ignored by his son, felt a bit embarrassed. He cleared his throat and placed his sleeping son back into the arms of the Yao Family matriarch.

He had come today not only to see the Yao Family matriarch and his son, but also for another matter—the marriage of Gu Jinyu.

Gu Jinyu’s wedding to the Prince of An County was initially set to take place before the end of the year, but unexpected war broke out. While ordinary citizens’ marriages might remain unaffected, the Prince of An County was a court-appointed official, and Gu Jinyu was the daughter of the Marquis Residence, so they could not wed during a national crisis.

Therefore, the marriage was postponed until after the New Year festivities.

“It’s next month,” Lord Gu explained to the Yao Family matriarch, “Jin Yu is your daughter; how can a daughter get married without her mother by her side? Why don’t you come back to the residence with me for a few days and stay until after Jin Yu is married?”

The reason behind the animosity between the Yao Family matriarch and the Gu Family stemmed mainly from the fact that she was unwelcome by everyone in the residence, headed by the Gu Family’s old matriarch, followed by Gu Changqing and his three sons. As for the servants, they didn’t really matter too much; in any case, they wouldn’t dare to make a real fuss in front of the Yao Family matriarch.

Now, with various misunderstandings cleared, the resentment the three Gu brothers held towards the Yao Family matriarch had vanished, and Lord Gu felt it was time to bring her back home.

The Yao Family matriarch hesitated.

She knew that the Gu Family’s old matriarch still did not wish to see her, the daughter-in-law who had come into the picture halfway, and it was impossible for their relationship to go back to being completely free of grudges.

Furthermore, even if she returned, neither Gu Yan nor Gu Jiao would go back with her.

She couldn’t bear to part with her two children, nor could she part with the large family in Bishui Alley.

But the lord was right; Jin Yu was also her daughter.

When the third son of Gu and his wife treated Jiaojiao like a treasure, what reason did she have to treat Jin Yu poorly?

“My health hasn’t been very good lately, and I can’t attend to everything in the residence,” Lord Gu said, looking at her.

The Yao Family matriarch glanced at Gu Jiao, who was in the backyard repairing a football with flirtatious eyes, and then said to Lord Gu, “You’ve been here for so long, haven’t you spoken a word with Jiaojiao?”
