The Prime Minister’s Darling

She was supposed to be a lady of the Marquis' mansion but became a farmer's daughter due to a mix-up at birth. After painstakingly growing up into a beautiful and graceful lady, nobody came to propose to her. Many said she was ugly and mentally challenged or a cursed child who brought misfortune to her parents. But her husband, whom she picked up along the way, was actually the future Prime Minister. The little monk she adopted on the mountain was one of the six Divine Generals. Even the old lady she rescued without much thought turned out to be the current Empress. A certain man said fiercely, "Dear, I'll deal with anyone who dares to bully you!" The Divine General said, "Sister, just tell me whichever territory of the six kingdoms you want. I'll conquer it for you!" The Empress said, "The Emperor bullied my darling? Just wait! I'll depose him right away!"

168 Tricky Little Couple (Second Update)_2

Xiao Liulang was entranced by her unabashed gaze, his eyes somewhat lowered. He first placed the food on the table, then went to fetch the small desk he usually used for homework on his bed.

He placed the table before her and arranged the bowl, chopsticks, and soup.

Her diet was quite bland as she was on the mend.

Looking at the colorless food, Xiao Liulang hesitated momentarily. "If it's too bland, I can get you some pickled vegetables," he suggested.

Gu Jiao didn't respond, just keeping her eyes wide open, watching him intently.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Liulang asked.

"Aren't you scared?" Gu Jiao enquired.

"Scared of what?" Xiao Liulang was puzzled.

Gu Jiao fixed her gaze on him silently: "Weren't you afraid of being trapped under there, never to come out?"

The situation at that moment was indeed dire.

Not dire in the sense of her being victimized, but the imminent danger of the place collapsing at any moment.

Yet, he jumped in unhesitatingly.
