The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 1024 - 1024 488 Scheming Jiaojiao (First Update)

?Chapter 1024: 488 Scheming Jiaojiao (First Update) Chapter 1024: 488 Scheming Jiaojiao (First Update) Gu Jiao had never expected to encounter Tang Yueshan, who had been missing for many days, here.

So, was Tang Yueshan actually the owner of that room? Was the reason Zhan Country’s remnants and Chen Country’s army failed to find him because he was hiding in these deep mountains and ancient forests?

In just a moment, countless doubts flashed in Gu Jiao’s eyes, including whether Tang Yueshan had recognized her.

Gu Jiao was still wearing the nocturnal clothes from the day before, with a mask on her face. Due to riding hard on her horse, the peacock feathers on the mask had been blown away by the cold wind, leaving only a bare silver mask.

Tang Yueshan stared at the mask for nearly ten seconds, at least that was how long Gu Jiao had counted in her heart.

Gu Jiao’s first reaction was, he has recognized me.

And what she thought next was, it would be better if he hadn’t recognized me.

Indeed, Tang Yueshan had not recognized Gu Jiao as the beloved daughter of the Marquis Residence, treasured by Empress Dowager Zhuang. Instead, he thought of that little assassin who had brazenly broken into the Marshal Residence and left Tang Ming crippled!

Tang Yueshan had never formally crossed hands with that little assassin, but when Gu Jiao appeared before him like this, his first instinct was to think of that night when Tang Ming was tortured!

This was a father’s intuition when encountering a murderer.

Gu Jiao asked herself if she had indeed not had such a close encounter with Tang Yueshan since she took revenge on Tang Ming in the Marshal Residence.

They might have seen each other from a distance, but she was dressed as a woman then, revealing her left face marked with a birthmark. It was difficult to associate her with the assassin from that night, let alone with the fact that she, as the assassin, and Gu Chengfeng, who went to the Marshal Residence to retrieve her, both “died” at the hands of Empress Dowager Zhuang.

With this, Tang Yueshan had even less reason to suspect her.

But a lie is a lie, after all, and it cannot withstand a father’s instinct.

Just by looking into Tang Yueshan’s eyes, Gu Jiao understood he had recognized her as the assassin from that night.

That’s why Gu Jiao said, it would have been better if he hadn’t recognized her. If he recognized her as the daughter of the Marquis Residence, it meant he lacked that intuition towards the murderer.
