The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 277

Chapter 277: 157 Scapegoat (Second Update)

“What happened?” asked the Yao Family.

The young maid fretted, “Second Miss barged into the crown prince’s study and shattered the artifact left by the late Madam! Right now, both the Second and Third Young Masters have arrived, and the Third Young Master wants to punish the Second Miss!”

If she really damaged the legacy of the late Madam, those three stepsons will probably wage war on Jin Yu.

The Yao Family was worried, “Does the old lady know yet?”

The young maid shook her head, “The old lady is resting, no one dares to wake her, she should still be unaware of this.”

The Yao Family decided to go and have a look.

“I’ll go with you,” offered Gu Jiao. _{fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓}

“No need, you wait for me here, no, you better go back home first.” The Yao Family didn’t want her daughter to be pulled into the dispute within the Marquis Residence.

“It’s alright.” Gu Jiao responded.

It was a spectacle after all, she had to check it out.

Once Gu Jiao insisted on something, hardly anyone could dissuade her, so the Yao Family reluctantly took her to Gu Changqing’s courtyard.

Gu Changqing was still practicing his swordsmanship on the Back Mountain and hadn’t heard the news yet. The only ones present in the courtyard were Gu Chengfeng and Gu Chenglin, who had rushed over after hearing the news.

Both the Yao Family and Gu Jiao heard the roar of Gu Chenglin from afar, “How dare you deny it! Did you do it on purpose? You actually shattered the keepsake of my mother!”

“I didn’t! Third Brother, I truly didn’t! Believe me! I didn’t break the vase!”

Those were the desperate rebuttals from Gu Jinyu.

Gu Chenglin sneered, “Only you and cousin Shuixian were in the room at the time. If it wasn’t you, could it be cousin Shuixian?”

Gu Chenglin didn’t particularly despise his stepsister, but he liked his sister from the Ling Family much more.

If he had to choose one from the two sisters, of course, he would believe in Ling Shuixian!

Having heard some of the argument, the Yao Family more or less knew what happened. She was no longer the weak and oppressed person she used to be. She took a deep breath and entered the courtyard with dignity and grace.

As soon as Gu Jinyu saw her, she quickly approached and said grievously, “Mother, I didn’t break the Madam’s vase! Not me! When I came in, the vase was already shattered!”

Ling Shuixian snorted, “What do you mean by ‘it was already broken when you came in’? Are you trying to say… that I broke it? I told you not to follow me, not to enter my elder cousin’s study, but you didn’t listen! Now you’ve caused trouble!”

Teary-eyed Gu Jinyu shook her head, “Mother, it really wasn’t me…”

The Yao Family was frustrated, “What did Mother remind you of? Why won’t you listen to me?”
