The Prime Minister's Darling

Chapter 614 - 614 294 Joyous Adversaries (Second update)

?Chapter 614: 294 Joyous Adversaries (Second update) Chapter 614: 294 Joyous Adversaries (Second update) An old minister at the level of Yuan, the Prime Minister, no longer needed to engage in meaningless social interactions; he could avoid even the meaningful ones.

After finishing his duties, Yuan, the Prime Minister, read for a while and then went directly back to the Yuan Residence.

Madam Yuan was originally from a scholarly family in Jiangnan, and as such, she oversaw the construction of their residence, which she made to resemble a miniature Jiangnan garden.

Yuan, the Prime Minister, did not take any concubines throughout his life, and none of his sons did either, with the exception of one who remarried after his wife died in difficult childbirth.

In the garden, a young Taoist nun in a blue robe was casually reading a book.

Not a scriptural text, but a chat book she got from a bookstore.

Next to her, a young maiden in a purple dress was using a butterfly net woven from spider silk and bamboo strips.

On seeing Yuan, the Prime Minister, approaching, the maiden’s eyes sparkled. She handed the net to her attendant, then raised her dress and without caring for her appearance, she ran over to him with enthusiasm, “Grandpa, Grandpa! You’re back!”

Seeing his granddaughter running uneasily, Yuan, the Prime Minister, felt a headache approaching, “Stop running, be careful not to fall.”

“I won’t fall!” She halted in front of him, performed a proper curtsy, then affectionately laced her arm through his, “Grandpa, Grandpa, why did you come back so late today?”

The Prime Minister responded: “I was reading for a while.”

“Oh.” Evidently disinterested in books, the maiden in the purple dress made no further inquiries.

The Prime Minister’s gaze fell on the young Taoist nun in the blue robe sitting on the stone stool.

The Taoist nun seemed to feel his gaze. Slowly, she put down her book and performed a formal Taoist salute. “Master Yuan.”

Yuan, the Prime Minister: “…”

The Prime Minister took a slow sigh: “Have you not renounced the world yet?”

The Taoist nun: “I haven’t.”
