The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 214: 132 Violent Beating (One Update)_2

And there was also Gu Yan, who has a sister.

Did he get it right this time?

The brat is the illegitimate child of his father and the Yao Family’s woman!

And so is this annoying little girl!

“My brother nearly died, so you might as well experience the same.” Gu Jiao’s wooden stick was pointed at his throat.

He was so pinned down that he could hardly breathe: “I…I never intended to…to kill him…”

Gu Chenglin swore he only wanted to teach Gu Yan a lesson, who knew he nearly ended up dead!

But Gu Jiao didn’t care about that. Her brother nearly died, so he should also take a trip to Ghost Gate Pass.

…

Gu Chenglin was supposed to be at class, but he never went. Gu Chengfeng spent a long time looking for him. Finally, he thought about the little firewood room where Gu Chenglin used to confine Gu Yan. He ran over and indeed found Gu Chenglin, who was tied up thoroughly and covered in bruises.

“Third Brother! Third Brother! Third Brother!”

The dull look in Gu Chenglin’s eyes finally regained focus as he clung to Gu Chengfeng: “Second Brother! Second Brother! Second Brother…”

He was shaking so violently that he gave Gu Chengfeng a fright: “What…what’s wrong? Who dared to bully you?”

Their aunt was a Concubine, the Fifth Prince was their cousin, and they had an elder brother who was an iron-faced officer in the Military Camp. With such status, no one in a small place like Qinghe Academy would dare bully them.

But the sight before him was horribly true.

Gu Chengfeng had never seen Gu Chenglin so afraid before.

It took Gu Chenglin quite a while to find his voice: “It was that bastard…it was indeed Gu Yan! He even dared to have someone beat me up! I’m going to tell Big Brother! Let big brother deal with him!”

Gu Chengfeng asked in disbelief: “Does he have the courage? After all, you were the first to confine him. Even if you told Big Brother, he may not necessarily help you.”

Gu Chenglin whined: “What’s wrong with confining him? He’s the son of that Fox Spirit! He deserves it! Besides, I only confined him! I never hit him! Look at how his sister beat me!”

Gu Chengfeng looked closely at his younger brother, he really looked pathetic: “His sister? That country girl who grew up in the countryside?”

“Who else would his sister be?” Gu Chenglin didn’t get a good look at Gu Jiao in the dim light of the firewood room. But judging by her youthful voice which was similar to Gu Jinyu’s, it could only be Gu Yan’s twin sister. Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Gu Chengfeng was puzzled. Wasn’t it rumored in the manor that the girl was raised in the countryside, too timid to even face the world, and too shy to come back to their Residence? She actually had the courage to beat Gu Chengfeng into a pulp?

“Does she not know who you are?” asked Gu Chengfeng.

“How would I know if she knows?” After being beaten, Gu Chenglin didn’t have it in him to ask her anything.

“What about your friends?” Gu Chengfeng added.

Gu Chenglin choked: “Second Brother, don’t mention them! A bunch of useless people! They can’t even defeat a country girl!”

Gu Chengfeng gasped. He knew about his brother’s group of good-for-nothing friends. A number of them were somewhat competent. How could they lose to a girl?

No matter how it happened, the other party must have scared the hell out of Gu Chenglin, otherwise he wouldn’t think about getting Big Brother to back him up.

Truth be told, Gu Chengfeng felt that the other party had gone too far. If they wanted to get back at his brother, they could have just confined Gu Chenglin, why resort to beating him?

Gu Chengfeng thought for a moment and said: “But if your Big Brother finds out that you were the first to detain someone else, he will certainly punish you first.”

Gu Chenglin clenched his fists: “Let me think about how to explain it to Big Brother.”

He was scared witless by that girl. If Big Brother didn’t help him get out of this mess, he would be too afraid to go to Qinghe Academy for the rest of his life.

Meanwhile, Gu Changqing was not aware that his younger brother was planning to lodge a complaint about Gu Yan. During the day, he had gone to the Qishan Military Camp and delivered to Zhou Erzhuang the item entrusted to him by Gu Jiao.

As he wasn’t from the Qishan Military Camp and rarely associated with the men there, everyone was surprised to see him. When they found out that he was delivering a parcel to a small soldier like Zhou Erzhuang, they were even more taken aback.

Assistant General Hu called Zhou Erzhuang to his military tent: “How did you get to know Prince Gu?”

Zhou Erzhuang insisted that he didn’t know him.

Assistant General Hu frowned: “You don’t know him and yet he personally delivered something to you? Do you know how long it takes to travel from Tiger Mountain Camp to here?”

Zhou Erzhuang was flabbergasted: “I really don’t know him!”

Assistant General Hu could see that Zhou Erzhuang did not seem to be lying. But Prince Gu would never run errands for a low-ranked soldier out of the blue. It must be either the person who knows Zhou Erzhuang has a background, or the one who asked Prince Gu to deliver it has some heavy influence.
