The Prime Minister's Darling
Chapter 1326 - 1326 647 Father and Daughter_2

Chapter 1326: 647 Father and Daughter_2 Chapter 1326: 647 Father and Daughter_2 Gu Xiaoshun, as he often waited in the grassland for Gu Jiao, had become the logistics squad leader and also participated in competitions with them.

Master Wu said with a smile, “Let’s not train today. Everyone should go back and rest early to replenish your energy. We will head to Lingbo Academy early in the morning.”

…

After returning to the mansion, Gu Jiao informed her family about participating in the competition in the inner city the next morning.

Suddenly, Gu Yan spoke up, “I want to go see you compete.”

Gu Jiao looked at Gu Yan and nodded, “Okay.”

Before going to sleep, Gu Jiao checked Gu Yan’s health again, something she had made a habit of doing morning and night.

Gu Yan lay on the bed, obediently lifting his shirt to let Gu Jiao place the stethoscope.

His condition had not significantly worsened for the time being; watching a competition wouldn’t be a big problem.

After returning to her room, Gu Jiao put the stethoscope back in the first aid kit, lay on the bedchamber, closed her eyes, and deeply drifted into sleep.

What Gu Jiao didn’t expect was that she would have a dream again that night.

The reason why she said ‘again’ was that it wasn’t the first time she had dreamed since arriving in Shengdu, only she couldn’t remember the dream upon awakening.

In the dream, the sky was gray, and the time was indiscernible.

She stood outside a serene courtyard, facing a vermilion gate that bore several scratches, likely the mischief of some naughty child.

Curiously, why did she subconsciously believe it was a little one’s mischief? What if it was a servant who accidentally scratched it while moving things around?

She pushed open the courtyard gate and stepped inside.

To the left corner, a cluster of green bamboo grew, while rows and rows of bellflowers filled the spaces along the courtyard walls, rustling softly as the breeze passed.

It was a courtyard that felt both foreign and familiar.

Foreign because Gu Jiao had never been here before, familiar because although she hadn’t been here, she vaguely knew the purpose of each room.

From the east end of the veranda, the first room was the side chamber, the second was the main room, the third was the study room, and turning the corner led to the warehouse.

Gu Jiao looked strangely at the row of rooms before her.

Voice came from behind the slightly ajar door of the study room.

“Yinyin, it’s time for your writing practice, come over here.”

“No slacking off. Ah, you’ve hidden again, haven’t you?”

“How many times have I told you? You need to practice a hundred characters every day.”

The owner of the voice was—

Just as Gu Jiao puzzled over it, the door to the study room opened and a man in a blue robe stepped out.

Gu Jiao recognized him at a glance.

It was the Duke.

At this time, the Duke was still very young, handsome and striking, a stark contrast to the withered middle-aged man confined to his sickbed.

Why she recognized him instantly, she herself didn’t understand.

As soon as the man appeared, his identity formed in her mind.

“Yinyin.”

The man began searching each room.

“Yinyin, stop hiding, it’s time for your writing practice.”

“Fine, I won’t force you to practice writing anymore, let’s go out and play, come on out.”

“Yinyin.”

“Yinyin!”

“Where have you gone, Yinyin!”

The young Duke became noticeably anxious.

“Yinyin, don’t scare me, come out now!”

“Where are you, Yinyin?”

“Daddy misses you so much, Yinyin, please come out!”

His eyes reddened, tears swirling, his voice unintentionally trembling and choked, “Yinyin… Yinyin… Daddy misses you, Yinyin…”

He stumbled and fell on the steps.

Instinctively, Gu Jiao reached out, as if to help him up.

Gu Jiao stood at the doorway, he on the steps; a whole courtyard lay between them.

She then lowered her hand.

At that moment, he suddenly looked up towards the doorway, “Yinyin!”

Gu Jiao’s heart jolted, and she snapped open her eyes, awakening from the dream.

The dream, like the tide, receded from her mind, and she soon forgot what had happened, remembering only a face filled with panic and distress.

“It somewhat resembled the Duke.”

Gu Jiao raised an eyebrow.

Had she seen the Duke so frequently that she was now dreaming about him?

As daylight broke, Gu Jiao, along with Gu Xiaoshun and Gu Yan, were ready to set out.

Gu Yan, weakened and inconvenient to walk, was fortunate to have a wheelchair made by Master Lu.

Master Lu drove the carriage, delivering the three of them to Tianqiong Academy.

Master Wu led his group from the Academy, while Mu Qingchen and Mu Chuan had returned to the inner city the previous night and made their way directly to Lingbo Academy.

Gu Jiao had to bring Gu Yan along, and neither the head of the Academy nor Master Wu had any objections.

The group took a carriage into the inner city.

In another part of town, Jing Er Ye was also pushing his elder brother out of the courtyard in a wheelchair.
